With just over a month go to our party in December Metro Area have kindly offered to answer some questions for the website.
Us clowns at cutloose have plenty to say for ourselves at the best of times so thought it would be nice to give you the opportunity to fire some questions in the direction of NYC and find out more about Metro Area.
To leave your question, post in the comment box below and we’ll do the rest.
The best question wins two guest list places to our December party, tea at Jenko’s, a cashmere jumper from Mark and a trip on the log flume with Wes.
