Ok fairy-lights are SO the new concrete! Obviously I’ve been trés busyuese
preparing the ✄ ✂ ✄ ℭ a B e R e t! ✄ ✂ ✄!It’s going to be really, really, really, really avant-past! Genuinely ANYTHING could happen. Oslo has booked in some gypsy pigmies to play on the acoustic fountains (Shelley wrote about it, so it’s Literate as well as ‘London’).

Me and Corinthian have double handedly made a belly dancer out of origami lettuce and Quentunne has literally brought his sister up from the Sorb. to help make the cocktails (champz, olive, Fortnum’s fizz and an ironic chuppa-chup).

DJ Shut-up! and MC Sarcastic Utopia are only the warm-up this year, because Fozzle and Richelle have agreed to do their two hour rasta-rural set (obviously we’re not paying them- it’s their fucking privilege). I am going to d-a-n-c-e ALL the long night until 3 when it has to close.

Lighting-wise we’ve gone for Jocelyn’s Himalayan candle eggs in the hallways, and the Faculties lamps for the drunking rooms, but with vintage Urdu stencil projectors over the bulbs. One wall will read ‘build love, love build’. (Gorgonzola assures me its enigmatically mirrored?).

Henry, who is actually an engineer but is soo sweet, has helped with the food: this year we’re having none, so he’s had an easy ride so far. The drinks deals are going to be farcically cheap, it’s going to put you into hysterics when you see how much a rum and ice sets you back. I’ve only just recovered from the offensively low wine prices.

Now all we need to do is show the Faculty Heads that we’re not going to
be pushed about. If they force us to come in and work the next day we’re going to put on a 48-hour work-in...Ooh! The Tuscan salamanders have arrived!
