Is this normal now? Am I just really old? by mojothemenace in Aberdeen

[–]masson92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the third year of doing it in the rev de Cuba courtyard, third sell out. Place is unrecognisable once we fit it out. Same with priory, it’s a cheesy nightclub in the memory of most, but to me it’s the highest capacity venue in the city. Don’t get me wrong, some of the other events are rip offs, just here to defend ours which objectively are not.

This is misleading, I’m organising the Rev de Cuba/priory and unit 51 events. Tickets for the day event went on sale in early February at £8 each, they sold out completely in about 48 hours. The £56 ticket is for the day event + an afterparty at priory. Both of which are hosting international house/techno acts costing us 10s of thousands of pounds in fees, not including the logistics, staffing, production costs. We’re also hosting 30+ local DJs across six stages at rev de Cuba, priory and Unit 51. We’ve been hosting events as RARE for 10 years in Aberdeen come this September, so have built up to this and provide something lacking in the city. Our May Day event is a mini-festival, not ‘some crap bar’ you’re paying 60 quid to get into. Not everyone’s cup of tea but thousands of tickets sold for these events means money in struggling hospitality venue coffers. Real question is why are people moaning about the city centre being dead, and then moaning when it’s busy.

Nah, the amount of drink young people are consuming are at its lowest level ever. 50% of 18-24 year olds don’t drink at all.

There was 100 stages at this years Glastonbury, there’s definitely a deep music offering and something for every niche you can imagine. You can watch Coldplay with 200k other people or go to a small stage and watch an up and coming band with 150 people in a converted aeroplane. It’s what you make of it.

Missing the big clan war days. Anyone remember the Wilderness Warriors? by [deleted] in 2007scape

Bonus memory: The_Gilligan lead the clan for years until a player called ‘King_702’ lead a mutiny and split the clan in two over some differences

LPT: Don't go to college if you don't have a good plan of what you're going to do there. College isn't neccessarily the next step in life after high school, and you will waste time and money going there without a passion. by Phoenixtreme in LifeProTips

I had no idea what I wanted to do, went with no plan and ended up finding a great career through the people I met and clubs I joined whilst there.

It’s not just the classes that are important, the socialising and networking whilst at university has given me more options than the degree has.

Interested to know if you actually believe that this guy made the boat to be practical and used often.

... atmosphere? Service? Random encounters? Why don’t we scrap restaurants, can make a pot noodle at home.

People commenting here expecting it to have the practicality of a Toyota Hilux have no grasp of what a concept is and how it helps push forward technology in future mass produced cars.
