20 Jun 04 University of Bath Summer Ball 2004

Last night was the University of Bath Summer Ball. This years imaginative title: “Summer Lovin’” supposedly with a Grease theme, though I didn’t see anything to do with that at any point during the night.

All in all it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. The University normally holds the summer ball at Cheltenham race course, however something went wrong with the booking this year, so it was held on our own prestigious campus. Various tents were erected around the campus… here is a little interactive map (of the campus sans tents). The fair ground was good fun, even though it only stayed open until midnight… I won a Budweiser t-shirt by winning a racing game on some arcade machines that had been set up in Choices (where there was also a band playing latino music all evening… Claire and Arash had a go at that ;-))… and the Darkness tribute band (called “The Likeness”) was pretty decent too, despite only playing a 45 minute set. We ended the night in the plug and the Venue, before heading home as the first rays of light breached the night sky.

So yeah… not a bad night, but it would have been so much better if Hanne could have been with me
