Well '?' is the best so far, so why don't we go for the 5th April
provisionally?

I'll look into the University of Westminster premises. The ICA might
also be good - I'll find out if we could slip it in under the auspices
of their education programme.

I could also enquire about Westbourne Studios where I've been working.
It's quite cheap (500 quid or thereabouts for the day) - but not very
central. It's pretty well equipped though.

I think it might actually be a pretty good location.

I think this would be ideal. I guess there's always State 51 - but that
might be pushing the boat out in terms of punk aesthetics. Still, I
prefer this option and will look into similar. There's a couple of
options in East / Central London I could look into. I'll report back
soon.

Cheers,

Saul.
