Bring Stuff: Bring the next party Details to be confirmed As I glance outside my window I see the great British summer time unfolding. I foresee an outdoor event that could be all day long with Alternative Olympic events as far as the eye can see...

Bring Stuff: Bring Black and White Masked Ball Saturday 31st May 2008, 7.00pm - 3.00am Ruby Blue, Leicester Place, Leicester Square (tube) It's Bring Stuff's first anniversary and to celebrate we are having a party at Ruby Blue's in Leicester Square. More then that, it's a triple birthday celebration for Katy, Lis and Vee! The theme is Black & White Masked Ball, so if you have a dinner jacket, posh black frock and a homemade mask then this is the perfect opportunity to wear it. Come as French mime artist, a black and white clown, Jack Black, Snow White, Cruella Devil or Charlie Chaplin. But don't forget to wear a mask until the midnight unmasking ceremony! As Katy is now back from her sabbatical we have arranged a few games. When you arrive, try and work out who is Giacomo and Katy to put your names down for them. As usual, there's a prize for 'Best Home-Made Mask' so break out that macaroni and paper mache and get doodling! Entrance is free before 10:00pm and Ruby Blue charge £10:00 after. To ensure Guestlist no-queuing on arrival at the door, be dressed in the theme and if questioned for the guestlist name, use; 'katy', 'lis' or 'vanessa'. The lovely people at Ruby Blue ask us to remind you that you are aware of the following door policies; the music is Pop, Chart & Party and I.D. will be required if requested, otherwise admission may be refused. Over 21's only too, sorry young uns.
