All I can say is that organising an event like this has proved to be like the proverbial swan... it looks good but requires a lot of effort to get it floating properly! You lot'll have a good time and it'll all look shiny and wonderful but it'll only because we spent the last 6 months paddling like ducks on speed behind the scenes! Yeah, I was having a simular discussion with PA on MSN messenger last night. I will admit that Adam does the majority of the organising of the SGM. But you guys seem to be forever running around sorting out stuff. The difference between your large event and our little gathering appears quite vast.

It's the adrenaline buzz, ya know. Although I wish I knew in advance whether it's going to be a success because if it goes tits up on the night then I may have to kill myself by overdose of absinthe. It doesn't help that we haven't finished the first event yet and already I'm overhwelmed by ideas for our next event. My brain is finding it hard to quit, lol

But you guys seem to be forever running around sorting out stuff. The difference between your large event and our little gathering appears quite vast. I think the main difference is in the number of external contractors we're having to employ; what with DJs, printers (more than one), other musicians, venue staff, bar contractors, sound gear, lighting and god knows what else, there's so many different ways it could all go horribly wrong (at least I'm hosting the website and doing all that side of it or there'd be a whole new area of potential disaster to worry about!) We had DJ issues at first which was a big headache and involved me spending something like three weeks on the phone and email having the longest prolonged panic attack of my life. Also there's so many little fiddly bits to worry about that we're permanantely afraid we've missed something... I swear we'll turn up on the night without our underpants or something else completely obvious!

Welcome to my world! However, the best of it all is on the night when you just sit back and watch it all unfold - as I've always been a staunch supporter of if I didn't have time to enjoy my own event, I wasn't going to do it. And the only reason I started doing balls in the first place was because I was sure it would cause a snowball effect, and then I'd never have to host another one again...I'd just go to someone else's.
All part of my master plan *strokes cat and steeples fingers*

HAH well you can ask... but beware, I'm going as the demonic goddess of succubi, vampires and all that's nasty... so I'll be looking for people to smite (for added authenticity). Mwahaha, etc

Mwahaha, etc lol, well I've not decided if I'm coming yet. But I do have the day booked off from work to allow plently of getting ready time. However, I have given some though to a possible outfit and, to be honest, I don't think Vikings are scared of demons.

Well if you've gone as far as booking time off and planning an outfit then surely you must come! Besides, smiting someone who's not scared of you is generally more satisfying, on account of them putting up a decent struggle and not just turning into gibbering wrecks at the first sight of your claws ;D

Plus the outfit will also get worn at a future SGM, so it's not going to be wasted.

Perhaps you can put on the ball correspondance: Smiting contest between Demonic Goddess and Norse Goddess. Winner takes all of your souls!

The correct answer is "Yes Acquiescence, you are of course correct and only the end of the world shall prevent me from attending the ball". Hehe *Gasp* My god it's perfect. Why were you not around when we were brainstorming this event at the start?? PA! Get on the phone to the printers! We have new and improved flyers to generate!

Sarcasm? Nah. I actually wish we could do stuff like that... imagine how cool that would be. Would definitely set us apart from the other balls out there!!
