JimmNeutron

Who is going to the science lock and key night in club21 next thursday?? It sounds like good fun and im thinkin of goin but i just wanna see if a decent amount of ppl will be goin. Not worth goin if it will only be a few.

Chakar

Both Humanzi and Justice are playing on the thursday in UCD so there won't be as many casuals as there were at say... the engineering do the last week in Down Under.

Nah its just a marketing gimmick.

That was what I heard.

mloc

whats up with these themed nights all of a sudden? trinity cancer soc had a matched sticker thing where a guy picks a guy celeb/fictional character and a girl picks a girl one from a box, and i dunno, you're meant to match up or something.

i ended up picking the brad pitt sticker, not sure who i was meant to go after, so much choice!

Right, here's the story, Tickets are €7, it's gonna be mad craic, on the door, every lad gets a key and every girl gets a lock, the lads then have to round looking for the girl with their lock, first matching couple get a prize. Or as certain Science peoples said, "It's an excuse for socially inept people to go out and try score" but it will be good craic! Everyone go! There's a whole gang of us going.

Btw, afaik, nearly all the profit goes to charity, they just cover the rent and stuff for the night and the rest goes.

Everyone go! .

Surely its only for science people?

Le Rack

no, it's a "Science Night Out" i.e. it's part of science week but anyone can go!

Le Rack

Ok People I demand A Damn Good turn out tomorrow night!
There's a fair few people going already but we want lots more, it will be good fun, and did I mention the free drink if you find your lock n key buddie? Tickets are on sale in front of Elements in hte Science block and shall be on sale till tomo afternoon! Go Go Go!

Well Conor, with most events run by societies or groups everything after costs goes to the charity. Costs are effectively what it costs to print tickets and posters, hire the venue and security and sort out the music. I can't rememeber there being any other expenses involved in generic night out organisation, as the people organising it do it voluntarily. Obviously the whole lock and key thing will cost more to run due to the locks and keys, unless they use numbered cut-outs rather than real locks. The only way a real lock-and-key party would be financially viable is if 1) the turnout is huge, so a huge profit is made, 2) it's a regular event, so the initial cost of the locks is spread over a number of events or 3) the locks are provided free gratis/sponsored in some way. When 21 was Cayote (sp?) it had a capacity of something like 600. If the event had an overall attendance of above a certain level (400, I think, but I could be wrong) the venue was provided free of charge, as revenue from the drink sales covered hire - I think that was the principle behind it anyway.

Me too, but I went to a Chemsoc thing once and they were very unfriendly. I'm not sure how welcome we would be.

mloc

i can account for at least 15 people going... 15 very drunk people. I mean, responsibly drinking final year students.

who haven't been out in weeks.

and one of which (me) went home in an ambulance at the last science night he was at (science day, last year... good times)

Well if there are tickets tomorrow and I go all I can guarantee you is there will be one person there who will treat you like the leaperous arts student you are:D






Na us science students are a friendly bunch!

I would go, only I don't know where to buy the tickets.

The tickets as said by LeRack in a previous post are being sold in the Science Block near the Elements restaurant.

The_Minister

I didn't see that. Maybe I will go....

Ah well should be good fun.I'm not going, I'm gonna be fraternising with my fellow Soldiers of Destiny in Drumcondra.

The_Minister

So? Who is going?

humbert

Looks like I am, better not be there by my lonesome:eek:

The_Minister

Indeed it does.
I'm going to the LawSoc comedy debate at 5. That would be over at seven, but by the time i got home, changed, and got dinner, and got into town, it would be ten, and I'd say it starts at eight. Also, I'm fairly sure they'd have sold all the tickets by now.

mloc

bro, you wouldn't want to be there before half ten. aim for 11. pre drinking all the way...

mloc
