This Friday, 5th February, we’ll be meeting at the brand spanking new Centre for Creative Collaboration which is a University of London project that our lovely Brian Condon has been working on for some time. If it works out OK I’m hoping that the Centre will become our home for the next period. I’ve been appointed Social Artist in Residence. It’s all very exciting.
You’ll find us at 16 Acton Street, London WC1X 9NG from 10am.
Right now, it’s a completely blank space. So we need some help to get up and running on Friday.
Chinwag are generously providing pastries as we’re part of Social Media Week London.
There are a few things that we’ll need to support us every week:
A kettle or two (we have a water boiler for day to day tea & coffee but Tuttle’s quite demanding) We’re oK on this front, ta!
A couple of those squirty flasks for serving the coffee & hot water [UPDATE Julia from Chinwag is bringing ONE – always good to have our own – donors’ generosity will be noisily exposed to the world]
Plastic plates [hmmm…]
Loo roll [Patrick says he’ll bring some]
Paper handtowels [possible samples from manufacturer – see comments below]
Ornaments and small pieces of art
IMPORTANT: If you’re bringing any of the above along, please let me know by e-mail so that I can make sure we don’t get 30 kettles and can’t get in the door for paper towels etc.
(obviously we *could* go out and buy those ourselves but I’m thinking that some people in our community might like to provide them in return for a small plaque in the centre noting their generous support)
Everyone can also help by donating any of the following:
A mug
A teaspoon
Special Needs Coffees & Teas
Biscuits
A bunch of flowers
Cushions
Or anything you think would help us make it a bit more homely.
Though if you have none of these, you’ll still be welcome!
I’ll happily bring a couple of loo rolls, a couple of rolls of kitchen towel and some paper cups if that’ll help!
let me know.
Patrick
Thanks Patrick, I’ve updated accordingly :)
Hi Lloyd, work permitting, I’ll be along, with some mugs at least. However, can you get the address of the place online – can’t find it for looking. Plus the link isn’t working at the moment, it needs the www. infront of the URL
Thanks Rachel :) hope it’s clearer now
Wow, this all sounds great! Having a certain ‘technical-geek’ vibe myself, what are the ‘net access / facilities like there (currently)? Is anything missing / needed in that respect?
If I can wake up in time I shall try to be along.
@AlisonW
As we got the keys a couple of days ago, the phone line hasn’t even been activated yet. It’s in a BTOpenZone spot if people are desperate. Of course the plan is to have a big fat pipe in and out in the very near future :)
Looks sexy and full of potential.. :)
Christian, just let me know when you’re in London next and come by for some fun!
I remember you making a special request for Tuttle’s base to be near Kings X or Marylebone…
darn! I wish I remembered these off-hand things I throw out there. Then maybe I might be less surprised when amazing things happen :)
Hi there
I work for Haygarth (Marketing and PR agency) and we do the PR for SCA (who own brands such as velvet, Cushelle (previously Charmin) and Plenty. We could see whether we could provide you with loo roll and paper towels if that helps?
Regards
Lynn
I’ll bring flowers — seems appropriate since my name is Rose. I’ll look for a vase, too.
Nice one, Rose, really looking forward to meeting you today !
Do we have an egg slicer? I think we’re gonna need an egg slicer. Will bring mug.
Hmmm… the trouble with having an egg slicer is that then we’d need some eggs… it’s just one thing after another!
If you’re telling me we don’t have an egg slicer, well… um… then… oh, I don’t know. I can’t think properly without an egg slicer.
Damn. Too late. I left my Princess Diana memorial egg slicer at home. We’ll have to improvise.
Lloyd – as promised, I’ll make it over tomorrow. I’ll bring some mugs and teaspoons.
What time d’yall meet?
Rax, thank you but there’s really no need to bring anything more than your good self – we got lots of lovely stuff last week :)
We start at 10am and go on to midday.
See you tomorrow!
Ohhhhhh you know what would be fun – if tuttle is staying there – find a place that does mug printing – people could buy / sponsor a mug and it get’s a little message on it or their twitter name or a little quote they like.
