Or when Matt went on his bra-opening rampage, went to "hug" Brona and she mentioned to him that Brona is an anagram of "No bra"... The look on his terrified little face! Especially without eyebrows!

Oh it didn't. But it's back.

Yeah, you were somewhere between shocked, terrified, and confused. Terrified had the best no-eyebrow expression though.

I'm told the Drama class is really fun and brilliant and is instructed by Brona, last year's RA.

Isn't Cara in that class..Wow, should be interesting!!!

Drama's really cool actually - i helped cover for a TA in that and it was quite cool.

also- saturdays disco is themed.

the disco is......






80's

Aoibheann

A decade that a lot of the students won't have lived in, or care about in the slightest. Makes sense.

Crash

Yes, because we should've also veto'ed the students suggestions for the 60's and 70's. and in fact, all of them, because they were in fact NEVER angels or demons....damn, whoda thought it.



ever think we actually asked for suggestions barry? no? aaw.

It wasn't me!

I could give the 80's a great lash! Leather, puffy hair, and stupidly pointy guitars aweh! Gotta love hair metal...

Will probably see you on saturday Neil if you're in Blanchardstown.

And themed discoes aren't meant to make sense, why the hell would they?!

Hugh Hefner

Why would you veto a 60s or 70s disco? A 60s one would be kick ass.

Hugh Hefner

I have more news....


"Film Appreciation" has been amalgamated with "Music Appreciation." People watched a Daft Punk video.

Apparently there's an act at this year's talent show that has a song about protein and they take the piss out of vegetarians.

Oh, and people are making T-shirts that say "Nerds Forever."



That is all.

Piste

A 70's disco would rule, it would also tie in with the CD I intend on bringing for it.

JenLorigan

I am enlisting mai sister's help for costume suggestions, as she's able to think of them and I'm not. Hurray for exploiting siblings!

So i spose its too much to hope for that it will have some house music in there seeing as house first started off in the late 80's?

Yes there is a song called Protein, tis quite funny (except to the vegetarians).
And as for the Nerds Forever T-shirts, that would be Odran makeing them (I think, 99% sure).

And just another thing, you're Rory's friend right? And Tony said hi.

Crash

Music/film appreciation was thanks to aileen having "interstella 5555" - i thoroughly enjoyed it. quite like taking activities on my own actually.

oh and my point was we didnt veto a 60's/70's disco - they were suggested along with an 80's one - but we had teh final choice like.

Us vegetablearians have a sense of humour too. We're not all crazy hippies, I swear! Someone needs to post the lyrics to the song so I can, at the very least, pretend to find it funny

nosmo

ah balls. This thread makes me feel so old. or maybe not even old. I just miss the whole CTYI experience. Who doesn't I guess, but nonetheless, I hope you all have some amazing life changing experiences like the many who have gone before you.

A superheroes disco? But that'd just be overkill... I went as a superhero to the fancy dress disco in 2003 and got everyone covered in silver glitter from my cape, nobody was very happy about that

Chowburger

Ah, I remember that superhero (err, I just misspelled that 'superhore' :P) costume. It was mad-ass! And so glittery...

I think an 80s disco would be fantabulous! You could have ridiculous amounts of fun making your hair as awful as humanly possible!

Scarinae

I don't think my hair would ever recover if I got a poodle-perm. And I don't think my dignity would ever recover either, especially if people took photos! And I mean, I like bright colours and everything, but legwarmers? Ski pants? Cycling shorts? Euuuuggghhh

mentalimplosion

i went as an eighties washedup moviestar (i even came complete with formerhusband) to one of the discoes last year. also, two of the RAs raided my wardrobe and accessories to dress up as eighties chicks.

i don't know what this says about my style. i don't think it's good.

Almost certainly... proper dance music would be nice... I want to revive that old "quality of DJ-ing at CTYI" thread now.

i think we all know what the quality of dj-ing at CTYI is....


poor... to fair at best


The problem is that there's a lot of rockers at CTYI (nothing against them personally) and rock music doesn't work at discos...

Of course I'm assuming that by disco we mean a kind of emulation of a club, but without the alcohol.

LiamD

In fairness to the DJ he has so many different groups to keep happy as well as the old CTYI traditions to keep up (Street Spirit, American Pie, YMCA etc.) there's not much else he can do.We would all like our favourite music to be played but the problem is everyone has such different tastes.You can't really mix a mosh pit with a hard dance night so I think the DJ just plays it safe with crowd pleasers and floor fillers.I think the discos are fine, for what they are.If you want lots of dance music then get tickets to Global Gathering or something.

Piste

With my CD of amazing super power, this years discos with rock the proverbial socks.

Lies! It does work. There's almost nothing as fun as fifty people leppin into each other to screamy norwegian death metal.

It wasn't me!

Opeth are SWEDISH Damn it Billiam!!!!!! But other than that, yeah, it's true, as Rory Doyle's head will attest.

Raphael

Yeah, but 2 problems with moshing/headbanging

1) Not that great if you're trying to score, it's hardly romantic
2) It's difficult to keep it up for a whole night

It takes practice my son! The true sign of a great gig is waking up the next day* aching all over and being wrecked.




*Note: A -TRULY- great gig will involve you waking up barely able to move, never mind sore!

Chowburger

And then there are the people like me, who I would call 'indie' if it didn't make me sound terribly pretentious, who would be oh-so-happy living in a nice world somewhere in between rock and pop music...

Though, in fairness, they played Pixies music last year.

StupidLikeAFox

/\ me too

Im listening to floggin molly and the pogues at the moment by the way. Good music is good music tbh.

Excellent taste me boy! Flogging Molly rock. It's true though, good music is what you like. Genres can't be taken too seriously.

mentalimplosion

personally, i'm hoping for a 60s or 70s disco, i'd love to hear some velvet underground or the rolling stones at the discoes.
but yeah, somewhere between rock and pop would be pretty.

I want "(I cant Get no)Satisfaction" played. Then i will dance like a fool. Or Paint it Black. or..or ....or.....or

doonothing

ah the discos. we cant really complain, they could be a lot worse... and the poor dj, he does have an awful lot to get around to, and its not as if he doesnt do it well...
i be happy

jono087

meh, i'll have to agree... considering the broad range of tastes arrayed on the floor before him, the dj usually manages to keep most people happy..

If the DJ did play that, it would more than likely be the Britney Spears version

doonothing

or, the pj harvey/bjork one! phew, whaddachoon...

Piste

I prefer 70s/80s cheesy disco meself....dammit it will be played this year!

Chowburger

80s music. I love 80s music. If they played something like Kate Bush my heart would do a little jig of joy!

Piste

''Heathcliffe, it's meeeeeee cathyyyyyyyyy come hooooooome I'm so cooooooooooooold'' I'll put it on my CD

Chowburger

*already has two Kate Bush albums ready to bring*
*should really be embarassed about that, but isn't*

2) Pussy

Plunky

1) Ever tried scoring someone while moshing? it's not easy, fun or romantic!
2) No... I think it's called caring about brain cells!

david

Yeah i remember the whole Martin Cotton automatic win thing... Niall K the RA started it! He scored Martins sister! *shudders*. She isn't half as bad as Martin though. I got so pissed off at that little dude and his "Humerous Anecdotes" though.
