Offline triumph!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t say I really enjoyed myself until the night was nearly over (way too much stress!), but our first Offline club night at the Dogstar was a raging success!<\/p>\n

Normally, there’s only about 30 people to be found in the pub on a Thursday night, but we managed to ram <\/strong>the place – both upstairs and downstairs – with a great, up-for-it crowd.<\/p>\n

\"upstairs

I spent most of the night in the Coldharbour Cabaret Rooms<\/em> upstairs putting on a great bill which included Vic’s Cabaret Corner, Helen McCookeryBook the fabulous Actionettes, the awesome Jack Blackburn and a host of poets\/ranters.<\/p>\n

It was the first time that the upstairs room at the Dogstar has been opened for years and it was good to see the place coming to life again.<\/p>\n

Downstairs, an excellent DJ line-up kept the floor moving, although I managed to miss the first four sets – but by 1am I was making up for my hard work with a veritable lager frenzy (although the lager drinking may have been a little more frenzied had the Dogstar not woefully under-estimated the expected crowd and run out of beer glasses by midnight!)<\/p>\n

By 2.30am I was wobbling about upstairs trying to unravel the long fairy-light cables we’d decorated the place with before heading home very, very drunk and very, very happy!<\/p>\n

A big ‘word up!’ to all the performers who gave their time for free, a big thanks to Offshore for sorting out the DJs and cheers to all those who came along to support this new event!<\/p>\n
