The club is c120 I think. I’ve capped the walk at 20 places as I think that’s as loud as I can reasonably shout.

Will you be leading the throng with a Very umbrella?

That is a much subtler (and potentially better) idea than the one I currently have fermenting, which involves the pointiest of pointy hats.

Why not both?

That’s some major choreography but I like your style.

Hi Chris, any way I can book the walk without the club night??

Just checking this is still going ahead? Also, will you be hunting down Ray's studio in Camden Town as part of the tour?

Very much going ahead! Do you have a ticket? There are two spots left for the walk. The walk doesn’t get to Camden, but that’s where the club night is.

I can probably make one, not both, just trying to work-out which...

I've booked for this, and it should be fun. BUT (and it's a big but) you realize I'll be giving up a posh ticket for the Belgian Dreamworld on Saturday 2nd for this. Or maybe I can fly to and from Brussels and back for the walk on Sunday. Belgium/Lokeren is the only Dreamworld I can make this year, though I have clocked up a number of earlier Dreamworlds (2 in -22, 7 in -23 and 8 in -24). Oh the life choices one has to make... WWYD? a Belgian Dreamworld or Fanatically?

So looking forward to this.
So my strategy is to have one alcoholic drink at the disco and switch to softs or low alcohol beer if available, so I'm up for the walk on the Sunday!

Will tickets be available on the door? And will Camden Casuals likely join the fray?

Greetings fellow Petheads!

AC (Andy), weighing in here - with a few hopefully helpful answers to remaining questions RE this weekend's fanatically DISCO

- we have have EXCLUSIVE USE of the venue, the event is for PSB fanatically ticket holders (PAX is comfortably 80-100)
- you'll be stocially gret (joking) at the door by Farrah (Zodiac) and/or myself, Chris or Lady Erica, depending on the arrival time
- we cannot guarantee DOOR SALES, as you'll appreciate, allocation may be exhausted
- Zodiac Bar is cashless, so any last minute tickets will be via the QR code or humantix link (again, as tickets are available)
- venue volume: we'll read the room, the plan has always been to provide an environment where we can meet and talk, so especially early, volume will be set to 'conversation'!
- Chris will be performing a dance routine in tribute to his favourite Pet Shop Boy^
- AC will provide a rendition of 'Losing My Mind' on the bar top*

^* individual results may vary, may be totally untrue things

Finally, Chris and self are running this 'experiment' as two (clearly ridiculous) fans... The hope has always been to meet our costs (venue hire, prizes etc.) and to try to give fellow fans a couple of lovely events that we can all enjoy, together.
Because surely we live and thrive as a community!

That's my Ted Talk

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Kind regards, fanatically,

AC (Andy)
