THE RECENT MODO fashion show was sponsored by Japanese brewers, Asahi. In exchange for free publicity, Asahi donated 500 bottles of beer to the MODO committee, ensuring high spirits throughout the show’s preparations.
However, since Pi failed to cover the fashion show at all, and an article in London Student didn’t mention Asahi, the brewery are now demanding that MODO pay for the 500 ‘complimentary’ beers. Bottoms up!
LIVE MUSIC SOCIETY president Marc Sarazin seems to think ‘society member’ is a euphemism for ‘roadie’. Before the Battle of the Bands show, he sent an e-mail round asking members to come early and help set up the event - especially if they wanted to get more involved in the society at the upcoming AGM nudge, nudge!
Not that anyone who isn’t part of the ‘inner circle’ of Live Music Society stands a chance of being elected. And participation clearly isn’t really the key to earning Sarazin’s appreciation. At a recent meeting he failed to recognise one of the editors of Under City Lights - the society magazine.
THOSE RUGBY SCAMPS haven’t been in the news much lately, mostly because the usual Sports Nite antics make Society Bitch yawn. However, the tawdry behaviour reached a new high [surely low? - Ed] recently when one squaddie glassed himself in the face in what was, presumably, a ‘who-can-glass-themselves-in-the-face-the-bestest?’ competition. I do hope he won.
