You are formally invited to...

Jordan’s Birthday Mania

in Southampton!

11th November 2015

Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the greatest night of 2015…

Friends… it’s been such a long time since I’ve managed to see you all, and it is therefore with such great satisfaction and excitement that I have invited you to come to Southampton for my Birthday. Wednesday, November 11th, is a day which shall be revered in years to come as “One of the best” and “I can’t really remember much”. Southampton has a lot to offer, and I’m sure we’re all up for a good booze in a relatively cheap city with both poles of bars available. It’s going to be great, I assure you, and the kind of night which you definitely do not want to miss! Of course, it goes without saying that it’s important people new to the city know what they’re doing once they get here, so I have thusly compiled a basic synopsis and rudimentary requirements for the day and evening. Please read carefully; adhering to some of these points is key so as to ensure we all begin and end the night stress­free. SYNOPSIS From 11am onwards, you may begin to arrive at Southampton. I will meet you all at your point of arrival, and bring you back to my halls. Once there, you can unload and begin some daytime activities (exploring, catching up etc.), before going for a meal between 5pm and 7pm in the city. Then, the party will begin. Many of my hall­mates and course­mates will be in attendance as we will be having a pre­party in Connaught either in my block or the JCR. Then, once we’re at the dawn of ‘smashed’, we shall take a bus to Portswood, where we shall have a few cocktails at The Hobbit Pub for about 9:30pm. From there, we will head to Sobar for about 10:30pm. Once we have had many, many Jaeger Bombs, it is our prerogative to march into the unholy Jester's or, as we here know it; The Palace of Dreams. Once too many Jesticles and snakebites have been downed, and the night is danced away to the tune of S­club7, we can begin to either walk or taxi home. Thus, at the night’s conclusion (3am, probably), we can go to bed in a variety of positions within my room, corridor, and adjoining kitchens. The next morning there will be the option of breakfast in halls for a small fee, or going to the city/portswood for nourishment. My lectures begin at 1pm that day, so midday will be the formal end of the gathering. Hope this is sounding wild enough, even though it only covers a small fraction of the intended craziness for the night.

Requirements ARRIVALS: It would be useful if all those arriving by car could contact one another to aim for a similar arrival time, as I will need to meet you at Connaught Halls and give you your parking permits and grant you access to my room. My address is:

Connaught Halls Wessex Lane Swaythling Southampton SO18 2NU

For those arriving by train, it would also be useful for you to come within a very small margin of each other, as I’ll need to collect you from Southampton Central and then bring you back to Connaught via the bus (a 25­45 minute journey depending on traffic). Hence, if we could attempt to get you here some time before or after the car people, so we can all go to the city together for the meal, that would be splendid! MONEY: It is actually quite cheap to go on a night out here, so not that much is needed. However, I have felt the shock of going somewhere only to be charged far more than I anticipated. Hence, I have compiled an approximate prices list at the end of this document. Try and aim for a little bit more than what you will absolutely need. It will also be slightly cheaper if you booze quite a bit at the prinking stage, so either bring a lot of booze with you or buy it for cheap at a local off­license. CLOTHES: As detailed in my event description, Jesters has a reputation for getting you dirty. Your feet will be covered in the biological waste of hundreds of people, and your shirts will be turned pink by Jesticles. So, don’t worry about ‘looking good’. I’ll be wearing my Jesters top in all likelihood (which is VERY stained), because this is intended to be a mad mad night out, not a glamorous one. PROVISIONS: … I hate to break this to all those sensitive people coming, but... I am non­ensuite. My corridor has 2 toilet cubicles and 3 showers amongst 9 people already, so there will be an extra strain from you guys. Do bring your own tp and toiletries just in case, as the stuff here might not last an extra 6­8 people through the night and morning. Also, bedding is not guaranteed to anyone arriving 3rd and onwards in my room. Although it will be very warm with the radiator on, the floor isn’t particularly comfortable, thus sleeping bags are advised. That’s about it. Hope you can all still make it, and hope you all have a good night when it comes to it. Au revoir for now, les enfants!
