well we read your post, then read the website (what else could we do to form a judgement?) and found some rather glaring discrepancies and inconsistencies.
why do i need to speak to someone involved in synergy to suspect that charging 15 quid isn't a very cooltan thing to do.
if it's your contention that we're judging it unfairly, i put it to you that this is entirely your doing.
if you hadn't made the cooltan comparison, perhaps it would have been judged on its own merits (ie i'd have thought it was bollocks, like blagsta, perhaps some of the hippies on here might have liked it).
it was YOUR comparison which planted the cooltan idea in our mind, so if we judged it on that basis, who's fucking fault is that.
and trying to sidestep it into some flannel about your own site isn't the point, surely?

(although I've noticed links to restaurants and what have you in response to 'any good thai's' etc. that have gone un-noticed. Guess that's coz they didn't mention Cooltan). Also, my own opinion is that a 100% non-commercial rule is non-optimal. Afterall, there are lots of social enterprises with wholly agreable goals that could do with some support from urbanites if they are to compete with big bad mutlinationals.
£15 is actually quite cheap for a multi-roomed, 10-6 party in a large legitimate venue (like fuck is it a 'superstar-DJ bar'), with the best production I think I've ever seen and a load of fucking good acts. £20-25 is a more realistic price methinks, looking at the other parties of that scale at that venue. I doubt very much that any of the promoters made any personal profit whatsoever, it's a collectively run ting with open accounting and cash going back to the NGOs etc.
