Hi all,
It's been ages since I updated the information on the profile and/or posted, so I thought it was time to pull my finger out.
I know this place has become a little more fluid in who organises what and I'm glad people have felt free to advertise their masquerades etc, here. I guess this has primarily been because there has been a cross over with the people involved.
I've decided though to open this up a bit more and would like to invite people to use this community as a place to advertise any Ball or Masquerade, especially those with a difference. Whether they be goth, fantasy, fan-based or just an excuse for people to get together at a posh locale in an OTT frock, the more the merrier!
So if you are organising or attending an event along those lines, please feel free to tell us about it, advertise, discuss event ideas, costume ideas, find other friends who might be attending, etc.

Your hosts, Lilith, Artemis and Gaia welcome you to their night of masquerade and fantasy. Luxuriate in the opulent surroundings and wonder at the array of beautiful, creative masks and costumes. Dance the night away to some of the finest Gothic, Industrial, Metal and EBM music around. The only limits are your imagination! For further information please visit us at http://www.darklightindustries.co.uk

I've just had a request from FAE magazine to print 4 of the ball photos, if you are one of the models in these photos can you let me know which model you are and if it's ok to use your pic in the magazine. I don't really want to use any photos unless I have permission of all the people in each photo. If you know the people involved please get in touch with them as I need to know before end of business on Monday.
( The 4 photos they want to use )
They also want a few sentences about the Ball in our own words as the organisers, and/or general publics point of view.
Finally, they want to know if we have any more dates for the diary

Thanks to all for such a wonderful night, here are the photos from the night.

On tranferring the images from one of my memory cards to the computer some sort of corruption occurred to 22 of the images which means I think I have lost them.
( technical details and plea for help )

Apologies if your photos have been lost :(

I've a few snaps on flickr of the ball.
I wish I'd taken more photos, but I suspect I got distracted by the real ale, so most of these are from earlier in the night when I (ahem) had a steadier hand.
Feel free to download copies if you spot yourself, and leave a comment if possible. I'd love to know who you are!

Thank you to everyone who organised and came to the Midsummers Night Ball - it really was a fabulous night, and I was terribly proud to be able to DJ for it. For those of you who wanted to know, here's my playlist:

Would just like to thank everyone involved in organising last night's ball for putting on such a great event. I loved every minute and the costumes were superb. Would love to see peoples' photos!

There are still a few tickets left for the ball, so do order soon if you would like to attend!
For those that plan to attend the Solstice at Stonehenge after the ball a forum has been set up by Underground Salisbury for people to discuss travel arrangements - follow the link from the main ball site.
Your hosts, Oberon and Titania, cordially invite you to enter our magic hall with your best finery and indulge in mischief, glamour, and magic in historic Salisbury, a few miles from sacred Stonehenge.
The ball is taking place on 20 June, 2008, Midsummer's eve, from 7:00pm till 1am. We truly wish to make this an evening for our guests to remember: be whisked away by a horse and carriage to the marble steps of the Salisbury guildhall, where the Oreo String Quartet will be playing music for the season in the Foyer. Fine wines and casked ales are being provided by Shipseys for your enjoyment. DJ duo Sexbat and The Ingenue and DJ Andy Ravensable keep the trad-goth and industrial music going until the early hours. Photographer Dylan will take photos so you can have momentos of your special evening. Expect a surprise or two as well along the way, as this is a night when nothing is as it seems, and anything is possible!

Due to lack of time and cash, I'm selling two tickets for the Midsummer Night's Ball on the 20th June, both with carriage ride from the Red Lion Hotel to the venue for a Grand Entrance - these are now SOLD OUT.
These cost £35 each originally; I'm looking for £25 each, but I'm open to offers. Leave a comment if you're interested.
