Message-ID: <4eadbeb40812080258x3dd6491dtf2bb56dc93daa0a8@mail.gmail.com> Pervasive people, gather near, for the season of goodwill is almost upon us. What better way to celebrate than a Christmas extravaganza at the beautiful Pervasive Media Studio!? She'll be decked out like never before, with treats of all varieties - music, games, nibbles, drinks and of course something out of the ordinary and extra special from the sly-minded studio party crew. Blast the Parcel, Secret Secret Santa and Magic Mistletoe to name but a few. It's fancy dress, so dust down those Monsters and Robot costumes... Those remaining when we have to close the studio will be transported to a second place of wonderment for the frivolities to continue. Check out the flyer below for more details or http://www.thoughtden.co.uk/xmas We look forward to seeing you and your plus ones! Best wishes from the party crew, Genevieve, Ben and Tom PS - bring an iPod for some tuuuuunes! ben templeton creative director 077 5150 8311 thoughtDen. thoughtden.co.uk digital curiosity ?
