Friday the 13th unlucky for some

Hello to my lovely CocoBongo followers, it’s Sage. Nice to see you all back after the festive break ready for a fabulous new year. Hmmm looking at the calendar and Friday is the 13^th! They say it’s the day best spent indoors, in a padded room and is considered to be one of the most unluckiest days of the year?

Well I haven’t incurred the wrath of this date, have you? I have heard a few strange things over the years but nothing concrete to say “THIS IS the unluckiest day of the year”.

Looking into this 13^th day of the month statsicly nothing happens more on this day than on any other. So why is this day marked with so much conspiracy? There’s a couple of theories to why Friday the 13^th is said to be so unlucky, there’s a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions with thirteen an unlucky number and Friday an unlucky day. Put them together and it’s just super unlucky. I don’t know about you but Friday is the best day of the week for me!

Interestingly, it also has to do with numerology, with the number twelve known as completeness.

Twelve months of the year

Twelve hour of the clock

Twelve tribes of Israel

Twelve Apostles of Jesus

Twelve gods of Olympus etc

So, unfortunately thirteen gets the bum steer being the irregular one, transgressing this completeness.

The Last Super or a Norse myth says if you happen to have thirteen people seated at a table this will result to one unlucky diner meeting some dreary death....playing out, I presume like a corny horror movie.

Interesting fact:  The Phobia Institute of Asheville and Stress Management Centre estimate 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by it so much, that it ceases their normal routines, like flying on this day or even sleeping on the 13^th floor of a building. In many cases Motels don’t bother building a 13^th floor for this very reason.

I don’t mind it either way; it’s a bit of fun. Speaking of fun- party people, the super club Consortium will be holding the Black Friday Party with DJ-241 playing with all the extra trimmings, FREE BBQ, great Friday specials and they are encouraging everyone to get into the spirit of things by dressing in black....love it!

3am Lockout

G'day Bazel here! Well I’m only just starting to see the light of day and have almost recovered from my massive week long bender. I think I’m done for a little while now...till next week ha ha

The weekend was a destructive glorious blur from one festive drinking session to the next (with my liver giving notice) Getting away from annoying relatives was appreciated though  totally wishing I had just 10% of their adult sensibility, composure and restraint right now....

So now I have my bearings and had a chance to speak to Sage about some in-house deets, I’m glad to hear that over 1000 people were let loose into the confines of Consortium to see in the new-year with the Full Noise New Year’s Eve party. The balloon drop was a success with many balloons loaded with prizes. This being one of their biggest nights, it was able to run pretty smooth with the 3am lockout being abolished.

3am Lockouts most pleasurable experiences with Dr Baz

1)    Since urine is found in 90% of Flinders Street’s soil substructure, the urine problem will become a useful commodity. With Flinders Street becoming famous for its extraordinary Urea deposits, Townsville will become one of the biggest exporters of Urea in the world, single handily saving the fertilizer crises.... phew!

Lockout produces some interesting public urinating. Side view, back view, accidental urination, taking a slash and fourth dimension spewing simultaneously. Bashful peeing, proud peeing, angry peeing and bawling ones eye’s out and peeing? I have witnessed it all in plain view- no bushes required.....

2)    Missed making lockout? Great!  Join the overrun taxi cab line and enjoy the ‘3am Lockout Fighter’ You could just be eating that piece of pizza the wrong way or looking at their pig of a girlfriend dressed like strung ham (who shouldn’t be eating pizza at all) tips them into this destructive sliding scale of immense stupidity- influenced only by the twilight zone, that is, 3am lockout. Attacks on the innocent walkers by to the poor cab line bystanders tolerating these “Bogan-innious-commonis” who speak at a million decibels (because everyone apparently is hearing impaired) My secret wish would be to quietly push them in front of a cab moving at 100km/h...oops   (It’s not murder if it looks like an accident)

With the influx of well behaved patrons, doesn’t this say something about the clubs extended lockout till 5am? Tax payer’s beware! Let’s make more ridiculous rules we really don’t need. Let’s justify our jobs in our cushy government departments. Let’s just create a 3am lockout that will cause unrest and call it “The monitoring of the drink safe precinct” We’ll create jobs for mates, we get to visit Townsville, the boss will pay for everything...awesome!

So who would like to see 3am lockout abolished? I would love to hear from you. What do you think Finders Street should do?

Also WIN a Consortium booth for you and 8 friends valued at over $500.00

And go in the draw to win an exclusive dinner for two at the Watermark!

Jagermeister New Year's Eve Party

Sage here! I’m so glad to see the end of this year. New Year’s Eve celebrations are like a giant reset button. Giving us the opportunity to remise about the last few months and start getting enthusiastic about all our new beginnings. For most people, NYE means a night of reflecting on (or forgetting) all that’s transpired over the last year. As the clock hits midnight, you can wash all those festive food sins away over a night of pure optimism.

Whether you plan on fireworks at Reid Park or an intense evening of nightclub indulgence, there’s also the Jagermeister option, which avoids the hectic Flinders Street mayhem.  

Jagermeister is holding an exclusive party down at the Watermarks Tavern. You can’t miss Jager’s very generous giveaways with the Watermark staff busy hatching new cocktail creations with Jagermeister shots in novel ice shot glasses to add that extra punch!

Watermark will be open till 2am with live New Year’s Eve count down on all the flat screens

Happy New Year!

DJ241 Deck Party Photos

G’day it’s Bazel here and I hear Consortium was 150 strong at their DJ 241 deck party Friday night. Over 200 sausage sangers were consumed, mega litres of cosmopolitans sipped and that 2 for 1 special was taken adventage of! These DJ’s pumped out the hot tunes all night with great Summerfieldayzes tickets given away and mountains of secret Santa presents. Don’t worry, Consortium will be holding another DJ241 this Friday and Saturday night for New Years Eve so get your shit organised people, this weekend is going to be massive! Photos below;)

Cheers Bazel
