Most central London arts venues seem to have tapped into various sources of finance in order to look good, perhaps they could pass on some tips to the Royal Festival Hall. Maybe I'm being unfair as I've only been there once and didn't go into any of the halls, just the ground floor and first floor bar, but I visited yesterday and it looked grotty. Horrible tacky furniture in the downstairs restaurant, and various multimedia whatnots and dojibs, none of which worked. And as for the prices in the bar...
Anyway, had a good time yesterday evening, meeting up there with various Barbeloids and setting the world to rights. Funniest moment being when our Grand Lord Archon expressed the concern that the day the Magic forum 'charged their sigils' in an attempt to help him get a job he was after was the day when the planes crashed in to the WTC (he didn't get the job and was wondering whether the energy had gone in a different direction, but it turned out it had been a different job interview on a different day).
