(Apologies for the intrusion - just checking in herein an attempt to track down people for a reunion that I'm organising.If the question in the subject line means absolutely nothing to you,please ignore this! However....)
If you've been a student at Warwick University at any point in the past20 years, and your music taste leans even slightly towards anythingalternative, then there's a good chance that you were a part ofOFFBEAT, the greatest indie society the world has ever known. And ifyou were, then you've almost certainly spent many a happy night dancingand drinking in the venue that has been known to various generations ofstudents as The Graduate Club, The Elephant's Nest, but mostly Zippy'sJoint.
FromJune 2008, Warwick Students' Union will start to be redeveloped (or'demolished'). One of the things that this will mean is that TheGrad/Zippy's will be no more. To mark the venue's passing, we're havinga massive Offbeat reunion on the last-ever night of the venue'sexistence. This will be for anyone who's ever been involved in thesociety since it began back in 1985.
Graduates and currentstudents alike are welcome - however, we'd especially like to get asmany old-timers along as possible. Ideally there will be DJsrepresenting every period of Offbeat's history, so if you want torelive your kohl-eyed/floppy-fringed/pointy-shoed (delete according toage) days behind the decks please get in touch via one of these links:
Facebook event - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=15578415820
Reunion section of the Offbeat forum - http://www.offbeat.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=8
Also,please spread the word to anyone who you think may be interested, anddirect them to one of the links above. Obviously there areex-Offbeaters spread out all over the place, so we're going to berelying heavily on word of mouth to make this work.
