Callum' date=' you are, as ever, the voice of reason.

That is why you'll be the first I'll nail over the head with a chair![/quote']

Then I can use his body as some sort of human shield.

Sorry bud, but needs must.

Tatu convention?

Loads of russion lassies with school uniforms?

Got vocals?

Aye we do I'm afraid. Now got Keys, Guitar, Drums, Bass and Vocals

I love the Hexagonal Pensioners....

And Fluffy and the Rainbow Bunnies. Underflow calls both acts, like someone blowing a conch shell in a forest miles away from civilisation, but someone knows it's the call of some amazing event.

Aye, the Holy Folks were gid as well.

starts about nine, although be there about quarter past eight to attempt to get a table before all the die hard quiz fans.

be warned, I might be bringing records!

I'm looking for another guitarist for my new project if you're up for some post-rock/prog/post-folk?

What age are you? How long you been playing for etc?

The Queen Vic on Rosemount has a pub quiz on a monday but it's pretty tricky stuff. Plus you have to be there really early if you want a seat.

i helped...briefley...

superstar juggler extrordinaire. Added to my camp's circus atmosphere, along with Stew's cover of Fallout Boy.

I'm sure this will be the Glasgow based Belle and Sebastian photostats.

He was there when I was there too. Best requests ever.

I was gonna ask you back if I got the job.....alas that is no option.

Yeah it was good when I worked there (93-96/2001-2004)' date=' but it must be shit now.[/quote']

hmmm, you worked there when I started DJing there, with Callum and Beast then just Callum.

Did you win?

Unfortunatelly no.

Well done Ross & co, sorry I didnt make it down, was quite late by the time we got the election results and then there was a lot of hand shaking, back slapping, pint drinking before I had to go to Stew's gig in the tunnels.

Isn't it ran by a private company anyway' date=' unlike the old Aberdeen union?[/quote']

Nope, it's run by the RGUSA.

i lost anyway so there we go. my holy folks campaign team were amazing but some people love the lollies.

you most certainly will have met me then. unless the answer to that question was a no' date=' in which case you were speaking to someone else

/x[/quote']

naw twas yourself, you seemed rather shocked that I recongised you. Was a few years back now though.

Will you be doing a napoleon dynamite type skit.

No, but I do have a minstrel!

good luck to you. the world of student politics is wild and zany!

/x

I think I met you once, You were working on the bar in the QMU and I asked if you were the bassist from Festr.

Now that the shop has moved round the corner you could use that space for this purpose.

That was the plan, but there's a big refurb happening over the summer and I'm not entirelly sure where stuff will be. But If I get the job it will definatelly happen somewhere.

It needs stuff happening apart from a DJ every night.I can listen to songs in my bedroom with my mates if I wanted to.

Give me a reason to actually go to the union except the cheap prices.It's no good drinkin in a place with no atmosphere.

Oh' date=' bring back the games machines too.[/quote']

Thats what I intend to do, vote for me and I'll revolutionise the entertainment, bring back games machines as well.

When I first came to RGU, the Union was the place to be, weeknights, weekends would all be busy and the place had a lively buzz and good atmosphere. In the last two years I have seen this deteriorate. The Union is not as busy anymore, people are looking for alternative places to venture. I plan to turn this around and return RGUnion to a place where people WANT to go.

I intend to introduce more drinks offers, keeping the drinks prices down and hopefully making them the lowest in town.

I intend to improve the Unions number of live music events. Allowing the Union to be seen as a venue order to show local and small out of town bands.

To further improve the Entertainment in General in the Union, and help cater for a number of different crowds. I plan to clearly define an regular Entertainment Schedule in order to create a varied and hopefully more comfortable environment within the union.

Maintain and extend ties between RGUnion and the rest of the Aberdeen venue/bar scene, so to allow students the opportunity to find out about exciting events/opportunities.

To cater for all aspects of RGU students, for instance creating a space within the building where students can organise their own exhibitions of works, and find an area which can be used as a non-alcoholic chill out area, with comfy seats, computer games etc which will be open and available for use the same hours as the rest of the building.

I will listen to the views of the Union members, and build on them in order to make the Union better for everyone who visits, working the wishes of the student body to make the Union appeal to more than one section of the student body.

I will also keep close involvement with the societies to see how the Union can cater for their needs, and actively encourage the setting up of new societies.

Finally I shall make sure the Union works as a SERVICE and not a BUSINESS

As many of you may know, there is an election on thursday where you can elect a new Union President, Student President and Sports President.

I am runnning for Union President, which kinda means I will be in charge of Rgunion. Many of you, like me will have abandoned the place because it is not the greatest solution to a good night out.

However, I am intend to make the place a more adequite place for students to go, to make a better venue for live bands, student antics and make it a place where people are happy to go, start of their night etc.

If there are any RGU students out there who think the union is in a shite place right now, get out and vote for me, Fraser Denholm, and I will try my best to make the union a cheap, relaxed, decent place to go to.

cheers, I'll have a look tomorrow.

The ones on the site are eleven quid each.

These are pretty good Hog

http://www.studiospares.com/pd_448000_STU%20MIC%20STANDBOOM.htm

Especially for the price. I've seen a lot cheap ones that are just plastic and fall to bits but these are pretty sturdy' date=' very well built. I've had a few of these for 2 years or so now and they still lock up pretty tight. A 30 stagg piece of shit I bought fell to bits a few months later and one that cost even more from Bruce Millers died only a few weeks after buying it (it was a round base stand though, the stand just snapped at the bottom, nice way to waste 40)[/quote']

I just bought five of these fuckers and no one mentioned it doesnt actually come with the bit to attatch the mic on the end of the stand.

Anyone know where I can buy these and how much they tent to cost?
