That's right folks, a pre-European Social Forum hijinx impromptu
Circle Line Party TONIGHT!

Time: 20:45 (be there before this time!)
Date: Friday, 15th Oct 2004
Venue: Circle Line Eastbound, Victoria station
Site: http://circlelineparty.org.uk/
Dress: Flamenco! If you like... dressing-up encouraged whatever you choose.

CIRCLE LINE PARTY ADVICE SHEET

- If anyone in uniform asks, we are all on the same train by
  sheer chance!

- The adverts on the train are ugly, bring something to make the train a
  nicer place. This does not mean graffiti, it means stuff that can be
  taken home.

- Be extra extra nice to the general passengers, give them food, give
  them drinks, give them sweets, make them very very very welcome.

- It's a party, come in your fanciest frock! Dress to the nines Dahling!

- Bring entertainment, bring music, instruments, card tricks, jokes and
  chat up lines. You are the entertainment, bring what you hope will
  have been organised and you will not be disappointed.

- If you are going to drink, we suggest spirits rather than beer. THERE
  ARE NO TOILETS ON THE TRAINS, so go before you board.

- It can get very stuffy down on the tube, BRING A BOTTLE OF WATER! If
  you get too hot, get off the train and wait for the next party to
  arrive, you can always dash up the northern, or along the central line
  to catch up with your original train again.

- If you see someone looking glum or lost, cheer them up, give them a
  drink and make a new friend.

STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE ADVICE

- DO NOT SMOKE, it sets off the alarms and stops the party.

- London Underground do not allow flash photography, and there will be a
  video made, we do not need 300 cameras documenting everything, if in
  doubt, leave yours at home. Come to party, not to make your
  journalistic career.

- Clean up after yourself, if you bring something, take it home. We are
  trying to show how wonderful the world can be, not how messy and
  careless we are.

- We fill the train from the back carriages, THE FRONT CARRIAGE IS LEFT
  EMPTY so that the driver doesn.t hear the noise and passengers have a
  peaceful place if they wish.

- If the train is packed out DON.T GET ON THE FRONT CARRIAGE, there will
  be another party on the next train, wait on the platform quietly and
  fill the next one from the back.

- The party happens in the tunnels, IF WE ARE IN A STATION, OR ON A
  PLATFORM WE ARE SILENT AND LOOKING INNOCENT, if we are in a tunnel we
  are discotastic.

- Use your head, we are not going to be held responsible for you, and we
  are not going to be your parents, nor are we going to be the police.
  If you see someone doing something stupid or dangerous tell them to
  stop, they are ruining your party. If you are doing something stupid
  or dangerous, then stop. Don't block the fire exits, use your brains.
  Look out for each other, help each other out and have the nicest night
  of your life.
