From mikey at thepeoplespeak.org.uk Fri Jun 3 20:39:05 2011 From: mikey at thepeoplespeak.org.uk (Mikey Weinkove) Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 19:39:05 +0100 Subject: We Know What You're Doing This Summer Message-ID: <24AFB979-3262-4A34-8DE7-B8AF62B32E7D@thepeoplespeak.org.uk> To Whom it May Concern! Here's a roundup of what The People Speak are doing this summer, part one. You should join us at some, or all of these parties, because they're going to be GOOD. First of all we'd like to invite you all to join us on June 22nd at the most talkative social in Shoreditch - the Talkaoke Training Session at the Cremer St nerve centre. BYO drinks and come and have a chat - no holds barred. Also, we're always (and perpetually) recruiting for new hosts, too - so if you think you might have what it takes to get in the middle of the Talkaoke table, we'd like to hear from you. Drop a mail to asia at thepeoplespeak.org.uk - or just turn up and try your luck! Long summer nights go well with heated discussions about whatever comes to mind - if the weather holds out, we might even be chatting al fresco. Talkaoke Summer Session (xxix) 7.30pm, 22nd June, 17-25 Cremer Street, E2 8HD Next up, we're doing a Talkaoke on June 29 as part of the Science Museum Lates program. Free, adults-only, and with plenty of interesting subjects at hand, the conversation is guaranteed to be illuminating. Come down and learn a thing or two: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/visitmuseum/events/events_for_adults/Lates.aspx We're also excited about Talkaoke at the Eden Project on July 1st. The Eden Project is an amazing biodiversity project built in a disused mine in Cornwall and they're holding a series of "Eden Sessions" throughout the summer. Tickets for the Fleet Foxes - the evening program - are selling fast if you want to catch them, otherwise just come down for the Talkaoke during the day. http://www.edenproject.com/sessions/line-up/fleet-foxes.php A lesser-known but much loved project of The People Speak - One Night Grandstand ( http://onenightgrandstand.co.uk/?page_id=2 ) is being aired at the Shoreditch Games on the 15th July in Shoreditch Park. This is going to be terrific - we bring the crowd effects and commentators and let the youth of Shoreditch battle it out for a trophy. One Night Grandstand is a great project and this will be an opportunity to see it in action, so come down if you're in the hood - http://www.shoreditchfestival.org.uk/thursday-29-shoreditch-games.aspx And finally, we're proud to report that the ace visual effects team(Zsolt and crew) at The People Speak are responsible for background graphics on some episodes of David Mitchell's Soapbox. Our studio's been awash with alphabetti spaghetti and we've been staging a remake of a stag party aka the last supper with various satellite members of ThePS as disciples (so in other words, business as usual). CHECK THIS OUT for our first go: http://www.channelflip.com/david-mitchells-soapbox---series-3/#phone-calls Stay tuned for the buzz Cheers, The People Speak -- The People Speak | 17-25 Cremer St. London E2 8HD | land +44 (0)20 76133001 | mikey +44 (0)7961 365 375 mikey at thepeoplespeak.org.uk http://thepeoplespeak.org.uk http://youtube.com/thepsnet http://vimeo.com/tps
