1p 2p 5p HISTORY

When the hell did penny sweets stop costing actual pennies? Think I missed that somewhere between smoking underage and entering my first rave... Amazing what happens in the space of a few weeks!

Well, fear no more penny pinchers & students, I've arranged a RETRO TUCK SHOP for all your reminiscing sweet tooth needs! A massive thanks to Shinyshack.com for providing Fizz Pop, Sherbert Fountains, White Mice and a whole '90's heap more for you to get your old skool loving chops around, e-numbers'r'us!! =D

AND Who better to top that mishmash bowl of sweet delight than

the skillful murderers of conditioned audio boundaries are undoubtedly experienced in bringing the sweaty roof down in heavyweight fashion. Their ability to seamlessly mix JunglewithElectrowithGaragewithWhistles&Horns will, if you haven't been lucky enough to witness it yourself (or even if you have!) leave you with friction holes in the soles of your dancing shoes and your jaws sweeping the floor.

Amazing.

Shifted's on June 11th 2010 @ Brixton Jamm - your name could be on the flyer!! party party!!

Links for your electronic diary...

Hurrah!

SHIFTED will become reality on Friday 11th June when we collaborate with the almighty DUB PACK at Brixton Jamm.

I'm in the midst of securing all sorts of freebies and entertainment for the night to give to you guys!! I'll post about them as and when confirmed!!

We've also decided to dissociate from the 'Corporate' brainstorm, COP, AOB, ASAP way of running and instead of there being a cold 'us & you' situation, it's important, for the good of humanity (the part that soley relies on fun-filled frolics) that everyone's involved.

Cast your mind back skipping the work filled days and TV filled evenings, SURELY your most memorable night out wasn't one where you sat in the corner, mute with just a bottle of water for company (although saying that, I'm sure there are a few memorable nights featuring that scenario for some of you ;)) No, the amazing memorable nights are generally ones where you feel involved. Not just included but a hugely (important) cog in the mass of harmonising vibration among those present. Comfort yet excitement. Connection yet independence. Am I waffling? Let's pull it back (one time).

Typically those aged 25+ will tell you (without much prompting) how 'friendly' everyone was when they used to go raving, sharing water bottles, cigarettes, life stories, coming home with 25 new phone numbers stored in their Nokia 5110's complementing the flashing aerials. They'd dance with strangers, hug the bar staff and be filled with freedom to enjoy the music, the experience without stushness, attitude or the 'have you got a pound?' 'trick'

That's what I want!! love Princess Nikki, aged 24. =) We're starting Shifted to bring enjoyment, opportunity and sheer childish fun to anyone involved, I need you guys!

This is the first task of the treasure hunt I'm asking for help with:

Meet...

?

The amazingly talented (and very witty) Nick Deakin designed this currently somewhat banana resembling little guy to represent Shifted. Fun, arty and a blatent geek-chic-swagger about him but he needs a name, any ideas? 

HE NEEDS A NAME!! 

help a homegirl out..? =) whoever names him will have their name +1 on the guestlist for Shifted @ Brixton Jamm, 11th June. e-mail me!  

Peassss, neeki X

wow I do waffle

Introducing...!!

Some of you may be familiar with him already, my extremely influential business partner, MC Crazy D "Woah woah woah!"

If you do know of him, you'll know that Crazy has A HELLOVALOT of hugemungous parties under his heavyweight dubist belt, he certainly knows how to have a good time, therefore, both D and I are dead set on organising this party that's worth raving to your grandkids about in an 'in my day we KNEW how to party' fashion.

We both know how important the venue is: are the sounds crisp? nice outside space for the smokers? seats for the intellectual/lazy types and do they provide delboy umbrellas with the drinks? All are key points so we had to be sure that we picked the right place, comfortable yet exciting, friendly yet party vibes, cool and in the right location.
 

'Struck gold' is certainly the most apt term here.

Introducing: Brixton Jamm. Perfect.

Outside space, amazing size in and out, banging sound system, seats, toilet facilities that don't require a snorkel to enter, 2 rooms and an amazing vibe, trendy with a hint of class served up with a sprig of swagger. Lovely.

No pink cocktail umbrellas though? I'll bring some if the demand's there, although, I'm sure your attention will be preoccupied once you get there.

On another note, please could you help me out? I've been reminiscing over old penny sweets that are no longer available, when penny sweets actually cost 1p? Please drop me a line with your faves on there, so far I've come up with:

Lovage! =) X

So excited!!! I can reveal the date for your diary and a concept to shake your tic tacs VERY soon!! =D
