OK Bristol, you've guaranteed a great show - people have overwhelmed us with offers of inspirational thinking and action for the Happy City Zone!  To make it all come true though, we need to make sure that everything arrives in the right place at the right time.

Organise a major Festival event on Happiness from scratch in 18 days? We'll give it a go...!

Last week, we took on the job of organising the amphitheatre for Bristol's Harbour Festival.  It's seen as the focal point for the biggest festival Bristol puts on, and 10's of thousands of people will come through.  Normally, you'd expect to plan such an event for at least two to three months.  We're going to pull it off in just 20 days (17 to go from today)!

HELP!!  We've just done a mad thing. We hope it's a brilliantly mad thing that may be the making of Happy City as a whole project - but we're going to need every ounce of support you can give....

A leaked memo suggests the little-known undercover arm of the Happy City Initiative is hosting some kind of party at a secret rendez vous on 4th July.  Word is there will food,drink, music and fun, and that outstanding party-goers will have a chance to become Agents of Happiness...

Here's what we know: Rendez Vous at Cabot Circus, 18:30 hrs. Stake out The House of Fraser, watching for 'Uncle Sam'. When he gets out a yellow book, follow him to the Agency Assessment Centre, where we understand people will be briefed, armed and licensed to disable unhappiness.
