    There were queue jump things available (which we had to tear off from our calenders! ), but they weren't accepting them yesterday, as there was "too many of us" :s
    I thought it was a time thing; no queue jumping after 10? (I didn't even think about going out - I did law notes, whoo).

    Oh really? That might be why actually...
    Ahh, fun evening then? Supposed to be doing work today, but that's clearly not going to happen..

    Eh; it was alright. I was still recovering from night before ;D. Ended up trying to smooth things other with girlfriend. She'd made me like, a Freshers memory board thing, pictures of us, friends all that and gone into my room and stuck it up. I had a proper irrational fear towards it (i'm not crazy...) and had to take it down :\

    10.30, I think. I've got Queue Jump for Saturday because it's my birthday, and have been told 10.30 for then. We were just going to aim for before 10 so that everyone can get in free!

    Really not sure why I didn't come actually...I guess it slipped my mind
    That said, I do have a completely ridiculous amount of work to do (not feeling great today, very little progress has been made)

    I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting into the Venue on a special night unless you get there early, really.

    There's this business in the Kent Enterprise Hub (it's next to the Sports Centre) that sorts them out called like "Dodd's PC repairs" - he's a bit gruff but my computer needed restoring right in the middle of my final exams and he had it all fixed up in like 2 days. First I'd check the library second floor peeps though cos Kent IT department have laptop repair people for free (I believe) and the only reason I didn't use them was cos they're not available in third term.

    What music were you expecting? :confused:
    Music that wasn't crap. If you are catering for a large demographic of students with different tastes in music, your best bet is to play mainstream songs everyone is bound to know, not hinky tonky crap.

    Redemption makes me cringe and I don't like any of the Djs. Why can't I be a DJ?!

    Ok, so I barely remember Monday night let alone the music they played (other than Reach by S Club 7 at one point in Mungos?) and assumed they played mainstream stuff in the main hall...

    Oh what, at K Bar? If you want to be a DJ, you can approach whichever bar interests you, IIRC.

    Try K Bar first, I'm pretty sure they're happy to be approached. The guys at K Bar will also know what the situation is at other bars WRT DJing.
