They have managed to do it, the team from Alien Safari have fought against all odds to bring us the annual celebration of the Masquerade Ball! With the venue location still to be confirmed, i have a sneaky feeling its gonna be @ nekkies. 

Anyone who has been following the proceeding on facebook will have seen over 80 people posting comments on the Alien wall encouraging them to go ahead with the party and brainstroming for venue options! The people seem hungry for an Alien Safari and my bet is this is gonna be a cracker!
