Ah, we just do something unprofessional like put each light in a
cardboard box and put the box on a chair or something, it's only one
night.

If the lighting desk can take input from a computer then we're fine. If
it can't then we need a better lighting desk. ;)
> 5) how will this raise money??
We half half of us standing in the car park charging people a fiver for
a ten character message, so blokes can have "I LUV MARGE" scroll across
a tower block. A certain way to get that new lady into bed, in my
opinion. ;)

What we need is to get it all for free; if it's going to cost us loads
then we can't do it...
