They seem to stay the same each year. So it's likely going to be:

Monday Traffic Light Ball Academy
Tuesday Headphone disco Tripod
Wednesday Foam Party Purty Kitchen
Thursday Club Philth UV Rave (Can't remember where this one was though)

I thought this year was to be different though, new ents officer and all? I already heard Dandelion pulled out of the Thursday night so they're stuck for club philth. same as last year. Think the Ents Officer would've learned from mistakes last year. :rolleyes:

It's actually organised and paid for entirely by Ents, as part of their Freshers' Festival, who give a ticket allocation to the Phil.

The bullsh1t with the academy really pissed me off, hoping COC will have a better handle on things.

Ha wouldn't hold your breath, lad hasn't a clue

The Student Union has an Ents or Entertainments Officer. Its there job to organise events for students, aka nights out.

For freshers week there will be a night out every night. They'll be in the SU weekly mailout when you register and they'll have flyers in front square that week too.

Also for this month there is the midnight band, 10 euro for four weeks of free entry to a set of clubs.

Where/when can I pick up one of those bands? I'll be in town this week if they're available now..

Yeah, the fact that he got in on cheap vodka kinda says it all. A mate has a list of nights on that week so I may just forget ents this time, wont be as cheap but it'd be worth it for a better time.

So if I don't get my garda age card thing by then, does that mean I get into the clubs? ): I'd rather not bring my passport there. And I read something earlier about a foam party and a rave? Here's to deflowering my rave virginity with suds.

Yes. During freshers week especially, and throughout the entire year, the an 'ents' officer organises clubnights and entertainment for students. These are usually just events in clubs which you can pay to go to. They're usualy alright, worth going to in first year perhaps before you've gotten the lay of the land.

Thats the spirit (though the authenticity of the rave as such is questionable).

For freshers, as above, they'll be checking everyone vindictively. You'll have to bring your passport really. A passport isnt much different than a wallet, and I've never lost a wallet. Just keep it in a front pocket and dont take it out once you've gotten in.

God I remember that! It was Aurthur's day wasn't it? From what I can remember Brandon Flowers was playing there for the event and they were trying to get people out while holding us in a queue. However the Guards came along and shut the place down.

What is a foam party? What is a rave? What is a sud? Sorry if these questions are really nooby.

What if like in my case you were never in a club before? I'd be really nervous going in there.

Cheers. Are they worth the 10 quid? Never been out in Dublin so haven't a clue what kinda places they are. Also the fact that I won't be up in a going-out capacity til Freshers means I'm missing out a lot of the free nights..

A foam party is a party in which a machine generates foam (think washing up liquid foam) and sprays it all over partiers. Foam is composed of 'suds.' Out of curiosity, are you Irish? I ask because 'suds' are a fairly common phrase, or so I would've thought.

And if you were never in a club before, then class! Everything will be all new and awesome and junk.

If you're into mainstream club music and willing to pay full price for drinks, then they're grand. They're pretty popular, albeit average, clubs.

You'll pay a fiver in most places minimum, D2 is normally 8, so if you go out more than twice its worthwhile.

No I come from Germany but I live in Ireland since 1998.

How many non-trinity students will be in the club? Is there also a chance that you get drugs or get beaten up? And another noob question, what do you do in a club besides dancing? I don't want to dance you see.

Edit: lol, a double-posting by a Mod.

Basically this describes what goes on in clubs and raves pretty well.
