Hello folks,

Some quick ball updates

First and foremost, the venue has been absolutely confirmed. We went to pay the deposit yesterday and have everything signed and formalised.So it is the KL Hilton for sure.We’re going tomorrow at 2pm to check the place out and take pictures (check back tomorrow night if you want to have a peek at the venue).

On that note,we are considering negotiating a group booking rate for those of you that want to stay the night.However, we need 10 confirmed rooms to start. so if you guys are interested, please pass any one of us your details and we will get started.

Ticket Sales have been going awesome, we’ve sold appoximately 230 tickets after just 2 weeks of ticket sales.We’re near the half way point after just 2 weeks with 8 left to go folks.

Next week the marketing campaign starts and we really start to hype it up properly.For those of you staring at this wondering what the past 2 weeks have been, the answer is that we had a soft start to give people who wanted to book whole tables the chance to do so first and to create some buzz so we could kick off the publicity campaign on a high note.

Sponsorship is pottering along just fine.We have some pretty awesome companies behind us. (I`ll let Jason do the honours since they are his department and he might violate in me in bad bad ways if i steal his fun)

Deco and booklet are kicking off. We’re getting a professional interior designer who specialises in parties to help us. Yes we’re nuts like that.

Entertainment. I cant say much because I think Zyin will also kill me if I spoil it now. But it will be effing awesome.

Ah yes, and there is a surprise in store .Want to know what? Well we’ll just have to wait and see
