33+1/3 Birthday Party

[denny]

As regular readers may remember, I'm planning to celebrate my 33+1/3 birthday this new year. I was hoping to do so by persuading a lot of my friends to come along to the Planet Angel new year event, which they had hinted at but weren't giving out details for.

The details have now been released [flyer]. To summarise...

Good: it's a party on a boat cruising along the Thames - should be very very nice.
Bad: it's really quite expensive. £55 per ticket, to be exact.

Would anyone want to come if I went ahead with the plan to celebrate the occasion there, or should I look at other options?

I changed my answer from "definitely" to "no" when I discovered that a) you still have to pay for your drinks, and b) it only lasts until 2am. Frankly it sounds a bit up itself and not at all like Planet Angel, so I'm not convinced we'll be missing that much. However, in purely financial terms I can afford £55, and if that's what you decide to do, I will accompany you. But having seen the flyer, I just think it might not be the best option after all :/

ps. when are you coming hooooome? *paws at the screen*

What libellum said really - the flyer looks fun but not spectacular, so I think you should probably look for other things, but if you want to do this I shall join you.

People often see not having to pay for their drinks as a challenge. I'm happy that they're not doing that.

I do agree that it seems a bit...off-message...for Planet Angel - I'd put that down to the fact that they haven't done a Thames Cruise before. :)

When I spoke to Angel the other day, she said they wouldn't be doing the normal lego, plasticine, painting things etc - presumably because the person they hired the boat from wouldn't let them. I reckon they should *buy* a clapped-out old boat and REPAINT IT in UV patterns and do whatever they want with it. That would be worth the money. None of this having to be home by 2am and pretending to be posh! :)
