oh sing, and jump and dance for joy, for

POPTIMISM RETURNS!!!!!

for a cis and barnet_ape "happy birthday" and jauntyalan and jauntyemma "happy wedding" special!!

Rather ridiculously it is NEXT THURSDAY, 7th September, upstairs at the Union Tavern, Kings Cross Road. free to get in, probably 6.30ish until a bit after 11.

Now this first one is a bit of a dry run, they haven't got a late licence yet, but are looking to apply for one soonish. also they are looking to refurb the room we're in, so showing them that we are lovely people who drink lots of bouze (pub prices and a couple of ales on tap, but no £5 bottles of wine unfortunately), might encourage them to put dj kit in when they do. By what pete was saying the room's about the same size as the poley bear and the landlord is easily bendable to our will a nice chap and the location is good, so w00+s all round basically :)

(apologies to those of you who saw this on my lj yesterday, i only realised this morning that it kind of needs to go on here as well innit ;))

Diva CANON: Cher

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Insert your own Cannon joke here! The Queen of Ridiculous Outfits is old enough to be Madge's mum and is still going strong - her Las Vegas residency is booked for 2008 once Celine's finished doing her turn. Now you get EIGHT ticks to denote which of Cher's UK Top 40 hits you hold dearest! Before the angry Sonny Bono fans start kicking up a ruckus, I've omitted the S&C hits to keep things Cher-focused. Instead, here are some amazing Cher facts:

She went for the part of Morticia in the Addams Family film.

Her real name is Cheryl.

She is dyslexic.

Currently, Cher is involved with the US Army's "Operation Helmet". This is less interesting than it sounds.

Muse <=> Gwen Stefani

If only we knew someone who vehemently hated one and idolised the other! ;-)

You can SORT of see what they're getting at.
