Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

It's that horrible moment when you have to make a decision - do it - or dump the idea now!

It was 10 minutes before opening and the Wipeout podium was less than ready! We hadn't counted on the staging (which had been at the venue since January) being taken away by the hire company... amid the sounds of our pleading, grovelling and upfront attempts at bribery. We eventually managed to cobble together a stage but it set us back quite a lot!

At this point the star of the night Andy, was hanging upside down from a scaffold pole, 2.5m in the air, wearing only sweat and combats. With a monkey wrench in his one free hand, he calmly states, " yeah this'll hold", Boom, that's it "hold the opening of the doors, we're gonna get this going". The room bursts into a frenzied state equal only to an ant's nest when some kid rams a stick into it and wiggles it. We opened the doors late at 10:20 (really sorry guys but at least you know why now!) and calm smiles replaced panicked grimaces… but we did it.

The wipeout game was only one element, just like the music, lights Lego, painting and other interactive things we include. We know if we can make every element as good as we can, we'll offer people a better party... that makes everyone happy including us. We just put up the kit as best we can; you the party people and the contributors make the party.

We thought about trying to explain how good Feeding The Fish were with their 'juggling with technology' performance during the happening at 3:00am - and gave up! Words cannot describe how talented these guys are!!! Or their awesome show… just get to see them if you can!!!

We've re-printed below (with permission) some of the comments we've had about the last party. They say more than we ever could. Thank you for your comments, thank you for making Planet Angel what it is and see you at the next one.

Luv & hugs, Planet Angel

  

"Just wanted to say that Friday was a real corker, and just what I needed to de-stress myself for a few hours (I'm working on my Final Year Project for Uni... very exhausting).  As always the folks there were as friendly as ever, the music seemed to create just the right ambience, and I went home feeling ready to take on the world (or at least the 7000 words I still have to write :).

So thank you very much (extend that to the whole PA crew), and hopefully I'll see you next time"

"Hello there fellow party goers!  We would just like to say that we went to Planet Angel for the first time on 15 June and it wasn FANTASTIC!! 
Loved the music, lights, people, atmosphere, the dancing, games, lollipops, fruit, cool pops, juggling show, plasticene, lego, paintings, drums, big fan in chill out room, the friendly crew and EVERYTHING!"

"I had a really brilliant off-the-scale indescribable time!!  You guys just have the best vibe going.  Just "wow" really.  We have never experienced anything like that before, we left so exhilirated and blown away about where we had just been.  It's just so unlike the scene in London that we are used to, who'd have thought places like this exist"

"it was truely lovely to meet so many people again who said hello having met them before at the last PlanetAngel... what a fantastic evening out... the ice poles and the jugglers stood out... I'll say it again, the positive energy and effort you guys put into this evening really really make it special night. Only problem is, your going to need a bigger venue before long :-)"
