Joca, thanks for the program

One question though - where'd you find it? I thought I had searched entire ANU site today looking for it, so obviously you know something I don't.

 

[Wolfowitz]

FUCKING LAME O-WE(A)K

Thanks for bearing the ~17's in mind.
Cunts.

College O-weeks are usually better, so don't worry. I know Bruce at least makes sure that there are some events for <18's.

Joca, thanks for the program

One question though - where'd you find it? I thought I had searched entire ANU site today looking for it, so obviously you know something I don't.

Today was the first day I was allowed to release it, because things like Paul Mac were finalised. You won't find it on the ANU website, as some things are not quite finalised. The intention is to give people an idea of what will happen so they can prepare, unlike previous oweek's where you find out on the first day. Any questions that people have I'm happy to answer, or try to answer at least. This is the events program which is the social side, there will also be an official guide with introductory lectures, and faculty lectures for each course.

Shooters is the Brokeback Mountain of Canberra's nightclubs

 

[loquasagacious]

Kudos on the timetable...

Oh and wolfowitz just go to college events - they didn't seem to check ID... besides there's still lots of <18s stuff going on run by the varying clubs and societies.

I think you're referring to Cube... Shooter's sponsors a number of the colleges including Ursies. Moose sponsors John's

 

[loquasagacious]

Yeah shooters is abit seedy (not nearly as say quattro) but not a brokeback mountain - I'd back cube for that name tag....

Oh and mooseheads is sponsoring the young libs this year as well.

Also I'm loving O-week this year because I can attend the festivities and still go to work as I work thursday-sun.... yay!

 

[Wolfowitz]

OMG. I just read the line-up again...

Band Night – ANU Uni Bar - Paul Mac and The Presets plus supports. $15 ANUSA tickets.

They are my most-favouritist band in the entire multiplex-solarsysti. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

You have my eternal love.

 

[loquasagacious]

Hate to rain on the parade but I think the ANU bar is 18+..... though they might be lax.... or just borrow a mates/older siblings ID...

 

[Glider05]

hey Joca187, with the competitions on Thursday 16, what kind of games do they usually have?
And the list looks pretty good

 

[joca187]

Sorry to inform all that the presets are no longer playing, pulled the plug on Friday. Thursday afternoon games will involve (ANU approval permitting) tug of wars across Sullies Creek, lube slides, jelly wrestling and more.

You homophobes. I meant the Western theme. It's always gays, gays, gays with you people isn't it!

 

[loquasagacious]

But thats what I'm talking about..... Cube has a western theme..... you certainly see more chaps (the pants) in there than in Shooters....

 

[Callistogenic]

What's fantasy island? *confused*

 

[neo o]

What's fantasy island? *confused*

It's where all your fantasies can come true... for a price.

 

[Callistogenic]

A price, but 30% off?

Hmmm...

 

[joca187]

Fantasy Island is an event run by the ANU Darts Club (actually rugby players), where they take you to an area next to the lake, and big party all day, endless alcohol, food etc., usually 400-500 ppl go, big event, but hasn't been endorsed by the students association because they see it as an excuse to drink excessively and not in keeping with their values.
