awesomewells.livejournal.comHello Poptimists - just popping in to remind you that Trig Brother is THIS SATURDAY. If you want to play and haven't already said so, then there's still a handful of places left. Especially if you are a girl, as some balance always helps. Trig Brother will be announcing the choice of starting pub on WEDNESDAY so check back here then.
The chances are most of you know what Trig Brother is by now, but if you don't, it is a Central London pub crawl with evictions, based on the real Big Brother. The evictees get sent back to a central 'home' pub which gets busier and busier as the day continues, and which then hosts the final vote. If you'd like to play, please let us know. Other important points:
- It is not a drinking competition OR a drinking game. At no point will anyone be required to drink alcohol. Teetotallers have historically done very well, possibly due to being, ahem, more mentally alert in the advanced staged.
- It is NOT a popularity contest. I know this because I came last in 2007. Evictions generally take place on your performance in a series of increasingly bizarre tasks as we leave a trail of obscure questions, charity shop CDs and the odd rampantly unfair twist across Zone 1.
- You don't need to be a regular to play. In fact, people have turned up hardly knowing anyone and made it as far as the final.
- There will be a designated eviction pub that will contain a sizeable number of us throughout the day, increasing as the event progresses. The first few evictees will not be required to sit in a pub on their own. I had a lot of fun in the eviction pub last year and was there pretty much all day.
- The actual game part of the day should only last three hours or so. By the evening the event will become a normal pub evening, albeit a nicely lubricated one.
- Whatever you do, don't acidentally let your umbrella go up in the middle of the pub, spilling several drinks in the process. You will only be evicted.
We will be meeting at a Central London pub at 2pm. That will serve as the eviction pub as well so if you arrive late there'll always be someone to let you know where the action is.
