where's everyone meeting?

WARONWANT
War on Want is a radical charity which fights to tackle the root causes of poverty. Poverty is political â€“ it exists because of the decisions of the rich and powerful, including big unaccountable corporations. Big supermarkets in this country have an impact around the world, buying goods that are sold on high streets here that have been produced cheaply by exploiting workers. Join with War on Want to challenge the power of corporations, like the big supermarkets, and make a difference for the poorest people in the world. www.waronwant.org

i'm lolling at the idea

of having an awareness-raising event for a "radical" group that features a VIP room.
seriously, what?

guntrip | 29 Jun '06, 18:26 | X
- yes
  
  but the irony of the contradiction is that these VIPs are actually very inspiring people, lots of interesting people coming.
  
  sean @guntrip | 29 Jun '06, 18:58 | X
  - far too interesting
    
    to be in the same place as the rest of the boring proletariat, obviously.
    
    commandercool @sean | 29 Jun '06, 19:00 | X
    - indeed.
      
      guntrip @commandercool | 29 Jun '06, 19:06 | X
  - bono?
    
    seriously anything which raises awareness no matter how good or bad the music is has some merit, but no matter how much of a paragon some people are they don't want to ahve to queue with ugly teenagers when there's a VIP room - its life innit!
    
    prole-art-threat @sean | 29 Jun '06, 19:02 | X
    - doesn't mean
      
      i have to agree with it, however. it's notions of being "better" somehow than others that has gotten us into the situation where just about everything we buy or use in this part of the world is manufactured by the less fortunate, no?
      
      guntrip @prole-art-threat | 29 Jun '06, 19:07 | X
      - Im just trying to be reasonable as my arms hurt from running
        
        I don't like the idea of celeb 'junkets' and VIP areas - every VIP area Ive been to just has people in I don't know or like and not as much free drink as you thought. So far anyway!
        
        prole-art-threat @guntrip | 29 Jun '06, 19:14 | X
I'm going to get there for about 9 i think...

erm, is there anyone I can 'hang' with?
I don't want to be a loner... :(

homesick_alien | 29 Jun '06, 19:59 | X
- Sorry.
  
  You should have said earlier :(
  
  fionapinkstars @homesick_alien | 29 Jun '06, 20:00 | X
  - I proabably should have done :(
    
    damn my indecisiveness.
    
    homesick_alien @fionapinkstars | 29 Jun '06, 20:03 | X
- woops
  
  i ended up on a mini camden crawl by accident.
  
  i was supposed to be home by 9pm.
