Just a bit of feedback from a would-be punter, while you're navel-gazing 
about it...

I turned up about 1, having been doing a bit of DJ'ing myself at another 
bash. I really wanted to see Ceefax, not least because one of the guys 
is the nephew of an old friend of mine (& the younger bro' of 
Squarepusher BTW) The guy on the door was totally cool but explained 
that the place was full and no-one else was getting in. I hang around 
for a while on the off-chance, had a chat with various people, got 
offered a can of beer. Various pissed students were wandering past 
trying to work out what was going on and trying to get in, and again the 
guy on the door managed the situation very well. Eventually I got bored 
and wandered home, vowing to get there earlier next time. My friends who 
were in said it was a blinding gig, and I can't stress enough how much 
we need that to happen in the sanitised & formulaic entertainment world 
we have today. Incidentally there was very little noise getting out of 
the building, unlike some of the other establishments in the area.

So I'd really recommend that you work out a  way of doing this that 
keeps everyone happy - it's a great way of getting people involved and 
getting the message across about what you're doing. More power to ya.
