general announcements from orangeland.

We have an all day festival on the 14th July which has provided me with an ideal oportunity to have one of my parties.
so.
sarah orange presents:
They Might Be Giants!
Saturday 14th July
at chez orange (and cloney) 8pm onwards.

I want cherry tomatoes, baby corn cobs, mini pizza, cocktail gherkins, bijou buns, tiny terrines, dinky donuts, wee weiners, quaint quiche, piddly pies
you get the score.
plus I'd love to get hold of a kiddies tea set and any empty (or full!) minature bottles

please bring tiny food! - I've got some tinsy-winsy gyoza and I really want to get hold of some quail's eggs to do mini fried eggs.
as usual with my parties I can only guarantee a semblance of civilisedness until 11 - it's fair game for pissheads after that. :D

the other announcement:

on Saturday the 28th July we're hoping to hold:
Day of the Dead
the rough plan is a Zombie Picnic/bbq at 4 or so in Hyde Park
an Otley Shuffle via the packhorse, eldon, fenton and dry dock (and possibly the library)
some dis-embowling
followed by a Dawn of the Dead style shuffle through the Merrion Centre (hopefullly being filmed/photographed)
then on to Nightclub of the Living Dead

I'm looking for people to help me organise this/throw ideas at me/make stuff for it
perhaps anyone who's interested could meet me on monday night or at some point on sunday afternoon (before soundcheck or at the wrens at 6pm)

thoughts? offers? excited squeeing?

Oooh! Tempting!

*mini squee*

yay! and I know you'll make something tiny but ace!

With all this tiny food you're going to have to obtain a white rabbit and dress as Alice....... :op

Beware of mushrooms.

good plan!

[identity profile] glennkenobi.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Count me in.... although the 2nd event I may have to dress as a US special forces sniper...

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
a helicopter pilot surely? :D

[identity profile] glennkenobi.livejournal.com 2007-05-25 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
heh heh a zombie chopper....

[identity profile] lostlorelei.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh I'd like to come to the party if that's ok? ;)

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
indeed - soon-to-be-loiner-lady!

[identity profile] lostlorelei.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeh! Am looking forward to the move (well maybe not the move but the being in leeds anyway :D)

[identity profile] lostlorelei.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We are leeds, for we are many? ;)

[identity profile] big-daz.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much chance of getting full then? Unless, of course, one scoffs lots of small items..

I should be up for the party though.. :-)

remember to stick out your little finger when eating tiny foods!

[identity profile] screaming-harpy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Can i celebrate my 40th at said party too and kill lots of birds with one stone, as all my mates will be there anyway? :D

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
for sure!

[identity profile] commieglamboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Deffo can't do the 14th (am away on urgent Soviet business). Deffo can do 28th.

I am in succinct mood!

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
ok.

:P

[identity profile] tenchi-okhi.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I shall endeavour to be at either event, with Shayne in tow :)

Can offer photographic assistance, obviously, for the latter.

And I may well be at the party, too

[identity profile] nigelmouse.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I too would be willing to take pics for the Zombie event. It's quite spooky that I was taking zombie pics only last weekend as well (though my web hosting seems to be down at the moment... hmmm).

(Zombie is definately the new black)

[identity profile] nigelmouse.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, web hosting has reappeared by the time I hit 'post comment'.

direct link to pics.

The party is going to clash with Nightmare, but I'm definitely up for the Zombie shuffle!

Arrghh! You manage to pick the two dates in July when I'm elseplace, Saturday 14th I'm taking everyone's favourite giant radioactive robot to London for a gig, and on the 28th I'm in Belgium with everyone's favourite pagan goth rock band.

Someone had better get some piccies of the DotD shuffle through tMc, that will rock! I wonder if security will try and throw you all out?

[identity profile] i-am-not-lost.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
party of little things? squeeeee!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_insecure_/ 2007-05-25 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
tiny food is ace... and a zombie picnic sounds like fun :oD

[identity profile] llamaalex.livejournal.com 2007-05-25 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Squeeee for both. As I will be on holiday then i should be able to help with the preparations for both aswell. It will probably save me from the inevitable holiday boredom.

[identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com 2007-05-28 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
oooo that's interesting - I need to organise a sit down and think for day of the dead. maybe saturday afternoon at pubculture or something.

[identity profile] llamaalex.livejournal.com 2007-05-29 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well let me know when you want to do it and I'll endeavour to attend
