Grand Matilda opening night 27th Oct, was: Re: [matilda] Notes from the meeting on 17th October 2005

I agree with Gav, it all seems a bit pointless opening up the space to 
people who probably don't care anyway. I mean, what is the actual reasoning 
behind it?

It needs to be carefully run...it'll require LOTS of us to be there
to have the hwole building open.

Also, I'm not sure why a) we need a 'grand opening' - we're already
open!! b) we would want to invite the 'suits' and so on in to the
rest of the building, who are basically the audience I've seen so
far for all these kind of art events in the CIQ.

My main issue is a purely practical one - I don't have any issue
with the art event itself, but I'm sceptical about having the rest
of the building open. If people are willing to be there to 'staff'
it, then okay. But we'd need to work out how many people we needed,
and get a sign up for that.
