Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend (which will in fact only be on the saturday which is Hallowe'en. We have the room from 10am until whenever we want really. Security seem pretty relax. I would recommend getting there about 16.00 as I don't think anyone will be there before then. Just bring along any vampire films you have and we will do a members' choice kind of thing to decide what gets watched.
