Chinwag’s Big Summer 07 party CHAOS!
July 6th, 2007
Its the day after the night before… we’ve had 11 emails each, totaling a massive 55 - constantly informing us of this amazing event to grace the Imperial College Union in South Ken, so we thought we’d check out the hype. I’ll leave my video to explain why we ended up 3 pints down with a fish ‘n chips chaser in the local boozer….
In the video you see two queues funneling into a bottle neck entrance - these people have supposedly registered to, ’skip the queues!’, as one of the many emails cheerfully proposed. Upon asking a fellow queue buddy how long he had been wasting his life here for - he replied, we a monotone drone, “1 hour”, and he wasn’t even at the front!
for this, Emak Mafu left for a better life in the pub
(Apologies for the ’special’ guy staring at the camera at the beginning - we hope it didn’t scare anyones children )

I understand your frustration at the delays in getting in to the venue. With over 2,000 people expected we had planned for a large number of door staff to try and make this process as painless as possible. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the number of people available for the door was halved at the last minute. This inevitably led to queueing, as we tried as best we could to get everyone through as quickly as possible.
We take this very seriously and I don’t like disappointing anyone who has made the effort to come along to anything we organise. I can only apologise and let you know that we’re taking all this feedback on-board for future events.
