Well done for organising this event and getting it off the ground. We attended (albeit a little soaked...does it always rain in Manchester?!) and picked up some good vibes from what was presented.

The poets were enthusiastic but we were surprised that none of them actually presented pieces which were in response to or dealing with the Truth Movement itself and the questions it poses and it seemed as though this created a bit of a discord with how the event was advertised, even the compere didn't seem connected with the idea of it being an actual Truth Movement event.

Once the audience had finally settled down to watch Ludicrous Diversions there was an interested silence but we have to say that as observers with a vested interest it really seems crucial to have the event fully focused and directed on the message at hand, to gain audience attention and debate.

Perhaps a rundown of some of the key 7/7 or Truth Movement facts per se (ie numbers of those who are now suspicious of the 'official story', key 911 truths etc) known currently delivered at the beginning of the film might have given the audience something to align themselves with and focused them a little more on what they were due to be digesting. One thing we thought would be great for these kind of events would be some kind of feedback form or even a forum of questions and answers on the night in order to generate some brain cell sparking.

We were really surprised to see that no one had left any comments regarding this night and so thought we might start the response rolling.. encouraging people to communicate their experience back to us here on the forum so that we can hone our events to perfection would seem to be key, and more importantly gives the organisers (thanks again Declan and please any tips PM us!) and any who are would-be organisers an idea of what works and what is to be expected.
