Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

PHEW!!  Right, have wrapped up all the boring accounty bits from last week, had a nice weekend off and feeling less stressed this week :0)

Some interesting feedback on the Crew Forum, my replies are:

- the garden wasn’t closed early, the Funky Lounge doors were – due to sound complaints – but it was impossible to spread this message at the time, i.e. during the Party

- We will raise the cloakroom confusion at the start of the party with the venue, and get it sorted out for next time.

As for the Party.. WOW, what a PARTY!!!  I Felt really relaxed and at home at the new venue, on my travels I found lots of opportunities to stop and chat to new Party People, all of whom were really good people… who seemed to ‘get it’.

The new décor in the funky lounge was fab in my opinion, we came across a very cool décor company who’s prices we couldn’t afford, however when we told them we were Planet Angel they changed as apparently we’d inspired some amazing attitude-free parties in Devon and they offered us a really good deal… so now we own a décor system for the funky lounge that we’d never been able to afford if it were not for our friendly reputation! Cool!

The backdrops in the Meltdown Room were excellent too, Kevin is a lovely guy... another talented artist who deserves and wants promotion… we’ll be hoping to hire his stuff again next party while we work on a permanent décor system for the Meltdown Room… the new décor contact is really going to help us… the décor is visible in almost all the photos and it looks good huh!  We have some work to do on the chill bar we know, we’ll get there :0)

Since the move to the new place I’ve had more opportunities to interact with everyone and I’m so impressed with the spirit everyone ‘on the crew’ brings to the party… a couple of shouts to particular crew I worked with at the party… Mick is a really fantastic new production team member… great ideas, a great approach… a real do-er.  Polly & Michael kept me entertained with a beautifully civilised argument about rugby whilst covering the door and Polly, my sister rates you greatly, she was quite nervous and you really made it a fabulous start for her when she arrived (and validated to her friends that everyone is treated equally at Planet Angel)… a bit a of a family theme going really, it was great to meet Danni’s family too!

For those that didn’t hear about this, a little story… Custard was DJing and a party person got up on the podium - above which were a loads of big white balloons Jamie B was projecting onto… fag in hand, POP goes the balloon and sends a large rubber shred onto the deck… SKKKKIIIDD goes the record and the music stops.  Custard picks up the balloon fragment, stretches it over his head and PINGS it into the crowd before getting back to it… that in my opinion ladies & gentlemen is stylish :0)

Oli spot on mate for staying calm when the shop got frantic towards the end, and big shouts to Michael for helping him sort it out!Twisted Kitten were great, I really liked their set and I have to admit its nice having more girls behind the decks, cause let’s face it… GIRLS ROCK  ;0)   (yes they do, don’t try & deny it, boys smell).  [Angel wrote this post!!].

The garden was a great space, Niti fresh back from Germany helped rig and came up with the idea to rig the white hangings diagonally… Jamie B then came along and projected a beautiful fireplace into the centre of them…!! I thought this looked really unique, Jamie your visuals were spot on well done, its great when it comes together like that… hats off to them both!

I’m looking forward to working with Anna on the event team next month, Ali congrats bird, your first party off… in absolutely AGES!!
