On 27th October we had the release party for Issue #3 of Makeshift Magazine. It was the best party we've ever thrown, and I know that because people kept telling me all night.

This was the first party we have put on at Coherent, a bar snuggled underground beneath K'Rd. With karaoke, masks, board games, twister, art, a toy raffle and free booze there was something for everyone. So many people helped us to make the night great – artist Podgy Panda supplied the animal masks, MoonJoos supplied the free vodka jelly shots, ToyKong supplied the raffle prize, Count Karaoke did whatever it was he did in the karaoke room, and it was a tremendous show from our bands THE WICKS, INFINITE FLYING KICK, ARTISAN GUNS and INITIAL, all of whom have surely gained new fan followings from the night, along with reinforcing their existing cult status. And as for MC STORMTROOPA, well. Not only is the man a witty MC and a talented Star Wars-themed rapper but also one of the nicest guys we've met.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped make the night awesome – the bands, our sponsors, the artists, and especially everyone who came out on the night – we hope you had as good a time as we did. It was very cool getting to meet so many people who like what we do, and are doing new and interesting things themselves. And everyone was so nice! Cheers guys.

At the party? Had a good time? Tell us about it. Log in and post a comment, or send us an email telling us what you thought. Also, if anyone has photos of the night we'd love to see them – we weren't able to capture everything, so if you've got photos send them along and we might put them up on the website to share with everyone. Cool!
