Sigh...

Well a blog is a good arena to vent I guess.

I've been in negotiations with the venue for 3 months and now two weeks prior to the event I'm starting to worry about wether or not the venue will be ready for this luncheon.

Part of me thinks - Ahhh its just me and nerves I want everything to be PERFECT and they're not delivering fast enough for me to feel secure about it

Part of me thinks.... Damn it I think I need alternatives.

I am being promised that all work on the venue (It still looks a bit more like a construction site than a multi-roomed den of iniquity when last I looked!!!) will be completed in time for the event.

They do have a deadline by next wednesday to come up with some satisfactory report - otherwise folks... well I'll have to think of somethingelse and QUICKLY.

V - rather stressed and NOT liking it at all.

On a much better note!

All Ladies attending the luncheon now have a voucher in their goody bag for 20% off their next custom corset order with FannyGolightly.com who has kindly agreed to sponsor the event. Isn't that nice?
FannyGolightly makes some really excellent corsets and are based in Birmingham's Jewelry Quarter.

FAQ's

Here are some answers to questions about the event as I have been asked as follows :


Q: What is the dresscode for the event?

A: The dresscode is fetish - whatever that means to you. Basically I would encourage that some effort be made to dress up but as it is an event to be held in the afternoon , I'm not going to insist that you wear a full PVC catsuit and die of heatstroke! As there are no walk-ins to this event we don't really need the "dress code to seperate the pervs from the riff raft" filter and dressing for pleasure is de rigeur here.

Q: Are there many people attending?

A: I would class the event as small and intimate. The venue itself is modest and would not easily accomodate more than 50 guests. The final guestlist has yet to be sorted with the inevitable last minute cancellations that tend to happen with these things. On paper - As of today (5th May) the figures are roughly 30+ persons in attendance excluding staff. Almost everyone has some form of a vouch (e.g someone who knows someone who knows someone) - I have made exceptions for two guests who will be attending this luncheon as a first event and will be under my charge.

Q: Is the venue private?

A: Yes the venue is private and admittance/parking etc... is by guest list only. Details for the venue is also only disclosed to persons who have 1) Paid deposit or 2) Left personal contact information.
ALL information that pertains to yourselves is erased at the close of the event - I do not keep you on a mailing list.

Q: How will limosine pickup be arranged?

A: At new street - a chauffer with a placard will arrive to ferry guests from the train-station to the venue. This is by prior arrangement only and the times for this is down to the individual's arrival. The agreed time is noon - thereafter it is at your convenience with an aproximate fifteen minute wait from call to pick-up. Drop off is also at your convenience should you tire earlier from the event.

Q: How much have you raised?

A: If everyone who says they would like to come... does so (and pays up) then we would have the £400 target with a little additional to take care of other sundry expenses such as marquee hire, crockery etc...
