Do we have any information yet on frost week 2010 in January?!

[Infinity]

there is a VOLV clubbing event/ bar hopping sort of thing going on.

its $15 for a ticket for the week. it was pretty sweet last time.

Yes!

I'm actually one of the Frost Week Coordinators for SOCS, so I can tell you a bit about what's going on. I'll be writing a more indepth article about it as the week draws closer, but there are lots of events going on throughout the week.

If you're in SOCS, you'll be able to participate in our wicked week long scavenger hunt, our game of assasins, and lots of other cool activities to win points for your team. The team with the most points will win wicked sweet prizes, as well as sweet bragging rights. To sign up your team, please email frostweek10@gmail.com. (Max of 6 members, if you can't find other members for a team but still want to participate, email us and we'll be able to put you into a team)

There's also the Midnight Skate (open to all Mac students), which takes place on the Wednesday. It will be at olympic arena (its about a 20 minute walk down Cootes), and will last from 10pm to midnight. SKATE RENTALS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THE ARENA, SO IF YOU ARE GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS REMEMBER TO BRING SKATES WITH YOU! We'll be organizing a list of places in Hamilton that rent skates before the event, but you'll be responsible for getting and returning them.

On the Thursday will be a themed night at 1280. The theme hasn't been confirmed, but it will probably be something winter related.

Friday is the SOCS mystery trip! Don't worry though, its open to non SOCS members as well!

Saturday is the SOCS Crystal Ball Formal, all the details are here.

There are also lots of fun non SOCS events, the IRC is running:
Broom Ball Tuesday 5th at 6:45pm
Polar Bear Run Wednesday 6th at 2:30pm
LAN party Friday 8th 7pm

And there's always the MSU carnival to look forward to!

Any questions can be PMd to me, or emailed to frostweek10@gmail.com

SOCS Crystal Ball sounds nice. Too bad I'm lonely and bitter.

Yes, there's the VOLV marketing one and one run by Limelight Media. Both are run by outside companies, which have no association with the MSU, SOCS, or the IRC. Something they haven't exactly been stressing

I'm sure it will be a great time, and I like the idea of a private company being able to run an event like this. The amount of money you'd save from cover for five nights by buying a wristband is a lot. I hope that people have fun, and that the companies make a nice profit for their efforts.

For those of you who aren't into the club scene (or at least not the 5 clubs in 5 nights scene), there are lots of great events run by the MSU, SOCS and the IRC that I would consider to be a lot more fun.

You can get involved this Frost Week! I'm sure some people would be interested in putting together a MacInsiders team, especially if you're on the team

And you could always be my date <3

ew IRC. They are so lame.

Alumni has a carnival on the Thursday. Be there from 11:30-12:30 to be part of a really cool, once-in-a-lifetime event.

I can say no more .

The MSU runs faculty Olympics. One of the more underrated and highly unattended events of frost week. Last year for SocSci only four reps and myself as a regular socsci kid cCshowed up. It was similarly underattended by other faculties. We have regular stuff like snow ultimate, street hockey, sled racing, tray tobagonning and so on between faculties. Then my most favourite event was Inter Faculty Capture the flag; which turned into Engineers vs Humanities...I kind of loved frost week. I would highly encourage all of you to contact your faculty reps(unless you are in commerce who most probably won't sign up like last year) and participate.

As for the thing Rohan mentioned, I know what he's talking about and trust me its MASSSIVE & EPIC. You do not want to miss that Thursday between 11:30-12:30! It's level of epicness something Mac hasn't even come close to in a long time

Untrue! It might be the case this year, but last year it was later in the year. The next week I believe.

Hmm; I just remember the CTF being on a Wednesday and then Faculty Olympics being on a Friday/Saturday. Dunno whether that was the first weekend or the one after.

[tiger]

will they still be selling the wrist bands on Jan 4th?

Just a heads up! Anyone looking to stay updated or get involved with the SOCS-ier events can join the facebook group here.
