IT mag launch party

[DanL]

I've just had a call, inviting me to an IT mag launch in the city. They're promising a free bar and a free Samsung phone.

Anyone think it'll be worth going to? It's on the 5th November...

"free bar"

[plotloss]

Free bars dont come up often.

Worth clarifying if its just beer and wine or whether its properly free...

[beano500]

Nah - it'll be rubbish!


To prove it, a small band of PHers will gladly take your place and prove that there wasn't enough alcohol ordered in.


Form a neat queue here!

Tell me where it is and I'll let you know after.

[posty]

what mag?

[DanL]

My main worry is that me and a few mates will have to sit through some kind of presentation before being fed drink - surely someone here's got a good idea of what it's going to be like?

Dan

[DanL]

I can't remember what the mag was, to be honest. Something IT related though, so not too interesting. The guy on the phone couldn't tell me where it was, either - just that it was somewhere in the city. Hey ho.

Dan

[FourWheelDrift]

Can I just add something.

"Woohoo, free bar!"

[DanL]

Well, I've been called back, and I'm going (or at least being invited). The premise for the mag sold the concept to me - Esquire/FHM for geeks.

The promise of no presentation to sit through, and scantily clad girls sealed the deal.

Here's where I find out it was all lies...

(Damned if I can remember the name of the mag though)

Isn't that already available and called "T3"?

I would go. Then again, I would have sat through a boring presentation for the promise of a free bar.

[DanL]

No clue, to be honest. I suspect there must be something out there that does the same job though.

Dan

[posty]

so, what happened

you still there partying???

[DanL]

It's not until the 5th November, but I'll let you know!

Oxymoron

[dans]

what is the magazine called?

[DanL]

Damned if I can remember, although I was told at the time... Sounds like an 'interesting' concept, but I think they'll need luck to last more than a few issues.

Mind you, a mate of mine showed me a golfing mag that was a bit FHM-like. Golf gloves on swimsuited models, that sort of thing - I assume that this mag's doing something similar.

Dan

Did you go then? What's the mag like?

Sorry if you posted about it somewhere else.
