BYT: Date With The Night

SEPT 2010
Date With The Night(s)

Wowzer. It is the week of the first launches. Can you believe it? Me neither. Wil is even flying over from the Land of Oz to join us for some of them. Magic, magic. The last few days have been spent flyering, getting people to put posters up in their shop/ bar/ launderette/ home, trying to squeeze time in to read the other BYT books and shopping for new We Have Launch Off boots and party dresses. We really will be acting up to the Bright Young People part over the coming weeks. TODAY I have the launch dates and some other dates for you. Diaries at the ready, go go go:
