IBIZA FOAM PARTY

[Thackary]

I've heard that the foam cannon will be on almost continuously this year. That's a LOT of foam!

[Thackary]

Or if you want "specifics"*

That's 3 double decker buses (height) multiplied by 4 snooker tables (area).







*not confirmed - just made up to satisfy unusual curiosities.

What sort of foam is it? Like aftershave foam or bubbles-type foam? Quite a messy type of foam presumably? Never been to a foam party before so are swimwear strongly suggested then?

I understand. Since I'm no longer DJing, I'll not be turning up.

Oh, how I wish I could be as witty as that...

But how exactly would Dave and I being in attendance prevent anyone from going out? And it's thanks to Dave in the majority that people have such a good time at Bops anyhow - the music doesn't just play itself you realise.

Oooh, homosexuality as an insult. How smart.

One of my pet peeves, insulting something/someone by saying it's "gay". Grrr.

i don't think you would be turned away at the door. you may get free drinks though, for some unknown reason.

Taken from 'A year in Fife Park'.

Now, the bop was in decline in our second year. Nobody seemed quite as up for it as they had been in our less cynical generation. The bop, incidentally, was the student union’s second rate attempt at a disco, held every weekend.
In the first year, they had even had foam parties. (xxxxx had cracked his chin open whilst sliding around one night, and then there were no more foam parties.) It was an euphoric but short lived phase of our lives, although, to be honest, only the most nostalgic of us could have remembered them fondly. At the height of the foaming we were looking at about a half an inch coverage of wet suds, which dissolved into a slippery mess less than thirty seconds after they turned off the foam sprayers. Luckily we’d all be outrageously drunk by the time we got into the lather, and so we weren’t measuring fun by volume of foam.
The important thing about those days wasn’t that they were particularly good; it was that people were willing to throw themselves around in filthy wet shite until injuries took them out of the game. Damn, but that stuff hurt when it got in your eyes.
By second year, the bop had devolved into three hours of bad music with three people dancing to it. We went every week.

What are you talking about? It was FANTASTIC! Definitely an improvement on last year. If you didn't get much foam you wern't trying hard enough! The only slightly scary thing was not being able to see when the foam was coming with the smoke, but even not being able to see A THING was kind of fun in itself.

Am washing the foam out of my hair now. All offers to hose me down were gratefully declined!

Maybe i was expecting too much but that was god awful. When i hear foam party i think, "FOAM!! (with swimming gestures,)" not a bit of Fairy liquid round my ankles.

At least it was for charity!

[cgam]

Thanks to everyone who came. I think we raised close to £1000.. so well done everyone!

Hope you all had fun!

looking at some of the pictures from the link above, I'd say that quite a lot of those people looked rather foamy!

EDIT: Oh and well do to everyone who made it happen - I just wish I could have been round to help more too! Darn essay! Grrrrrrr

[S.P.I.G]

Not sure about the foam party - but the ice poles they were selling in the main bar were a perfect compliment to my Tennents'.
