freakytigger.livejournal.comBack once again, it's the lowlight of the London alcohol calendar, Trig Brother.
What is Trig Brother? It's a semi-competitive pub crawl, where a number of drinkers start out and are evicted - in the manner of TV's Big Brother - over the course of the crawl. Evicted drinkers take the long (actually not very long) collect at a home pub, where the final tasks and final votes will take place. Expect twists and turns in the manner of the real BB (though perhaps with a bit less fannydangle than this year's).
Sounds a bit too competitive... It's not really, the whole thing lasts about 3 hours and the competitive element has a large element of randomness in it: contestants are judged on the 'tasks' they perform so it's not a popularity contest either (last time we did it someone nobody even knew before the game started came 2nd). There's not even a prize, it's just about having organised pub fun in London.
I'm not a big drinker... Again, it's not about competitive drinking or getting hammered - though some people will. We've had non-drinking players before and they've really enjoyed it.
What's this thread for then? This year's Trig Brother will start after lunch on SATURDAY JULY 22nd - location TBC, but it'll be in Zone 1. Please tell us - via the comments box - if you fancy playing this year (previous competitors are very welcome to have another tilt). And if you don't but want to spectate and maybe vote, this is to let you know what's happening.
What on earth does this have to do with pop? Wait and see.
Cheers!
