KAOS: Party! (like it's 1999)

.....

Parties.

Like all good students, K.A.O.S. members like to party. In fact, we like to party so much, a weekend is declared boring if there's no party on. Throughout the year, K.A.O.S. organises several 'official' K.A.O.S. parties, ranging from the debauched 'Come as your favourite perversion' Party, to the also debauched Toga Party, to the long, and often still debauched '48 hour' Party. If you're lucky, we might provide some punch.
Almost every student knows how to party by instinct. Traditionally, you turn up, and start partying. If for some reason you're unsure how, approach someone and ask for instructions. There are a few simple guidelines we like to stick to, however:

Don't do illegal stuff. We tend to look badly on people doing things that could get the rest of the club in trouble. This includes theft, vandalism, and ignoring the traditional adage, 'No means No'.

Don't break stuff, enter off-limits areas, or use things belonging to residents, unless they let you. If you do break something, tell a flatmate.

Many flats have their own particular pet peeves, such as no smoking indoors ¹ , no puking in the shower basin, and no dancing on Clyde Road's wooden floors in stilletto heels. Respect them.

Unpleasantries such as the above aside, have fun. That is the point of going to a party. If you're incapable of having fun, at least try and pretend, but whatever you do, don't ruin other peoples fun.

You can find out were the next party, drinkies or similar social gathering is by doing any of the following things:

Subscribe to the Party List if you have regular email access. Things like SCA events and Fugsoc conventions tend to get posted here, too. Typically, people don't post their exact address to the list, so...

Hang around the LCR on a Friday afternoon and ask someone.

Ring the Dictator. He won't be home, of course. Particularly if you've waited until 10pm that Friday to ask him...

If you want to throw a party (go on, you know you want too!) then the best way to let people know is to post it to the Party List and tell people by word of mouth, as not everyone can read the list. Do this by hanging around the LCR on a Friday, or even phoning people up.
