Disco Dreaming

Context: Wednesday seen a quiet couple of pints with my couchsurfers turn into a major hotbox and drinking marathon (minus couchsrufers who had bailed early), with us leaving the pub only to return in the small hours to restock on beer and for some slammers. This behaviour is not normally supported in Inverness (what with the midnight curfew) but since most of my companions worked at the bar some after hour drinks were encouraged. 5am comes round and finds me scaling the seafood restraunts topdeck to place a Tweenies Scooter on their mast, giggling I quietly let myself into the boat and promptly passed out on the bed. Woke early to ensure my couchsurfers were fed and watered before seeing them safely on their way, then it was into work for an impossibly long day of colouring things in.

Thursday night I struggled through the truly awful snakes on a plane film, superglued my fingers again in the pursuit of a glowing scottish manpurse and finally slipped into bed at the unbelievable time of 9pm. Before slipping into the land of nod I wandered how hard it would be to create a lit up disco dancefloor. The whole night and I mean the WHOLE night I was filled with half lucid ponderings on the different lighting options and the practicality of each.11.30pm - LED's are gonna be to complex and not robust enough

2am - Elwire bright enough and sequence easily differetn colours

3am - Need something to diffuse the light, frosted perspex or wax paper

3.30am - Line individual cells in tinfoil

4.30am - Elwire is going to be too expensive

5am - Rope light possibility so long as use both sets of white rope light with blink function for spiral pattern covering every cell. Multi-coloured rope lights to ring exterior cells only and be used for dormant phase. Outside framing to use red rope light for safety and extra blink.

6.15am - Constructing a 10ft x 10ft frame split into 2ft x 2ft squares, whilst small is feasible in demands on resources and means it can be used inside or outside.

8am - Drag ass into shower and assemble all these has formed thoughts into a feasible plan, run through exisitng supplies and what will need to get.

My current rope lights supplies should be sufficient for the job, I have a couple hundred feet of red and white and some multicoloured which doesn't flash. I just need to source some wax paper, different coloured acetates, reams of tinfoil, a sheet of perspex (or other suitable flooring) and 150ft of 2x2's. All this can be assembled and flat packed making it easy to transport, the perspex would be in onesheet if possible, if not split in half.

OK now is this just me or could this be feasible?
