Everything You Need, Friday 21st May 2010

Remember to give.

Three words printed onto a small slip of paper, one of several such messages given out as a raffle ticket, which your £2 entrance fee entitles you to receive; it's an uncomplicated sentiment, but one that's easy to lose sight of, and one that makes a great deal of sense. It's also been the winning ticket at the previous two Everything You Need events, with the lucky victor taking home a very generous prize of half of the takings on the door.

Of course, that's only the tip of the iceberg as far as reasons to attend are concerned. All those involved, from organisers to attendees, approach the evening with a great deal of enthusiasm; the music ranges from Sam Cooke to Micachu, with a hell of a lot of variation in between; and if there's anything in particular you'd like to hear, you're encouraged to request it. There's no pretension involved, just an honest desire to see people enjoy themselves. It's where I'll be tonight, and I hope to see you there.
