VICE.com Issue Launch Party (27.10.11)

If free booze disgusts you, you should probably keep scrolling down to the next post now. If not, then you'll be pretty damn excited to hear about the Vice.com launch parties going down across the country this week. Come down and dance with us at the London event on Thursday night cos it's going to be awesome.

How awesome, we hear you say? Awesome enough that Purity Ring will be giving us their first ever UK live performance. Awesome enough that new indie boys on the scene Theme Park will also be playing. And awesome enough that we'll be there with our big Deer Brains party camera ready to snap away. If you want to be a part of the free drinks festivities, make sure to register on the Vice site, here.

The fun happens at Vice's resident London bar, the Old Blue Last and goes from 8pm to 1am. Thursday's the new Friday, ya heard?

VICE.com Launch Party

We went, we saw and we conquered the open bar. VICE's launch party for vice.com made the area outside Factory 7 on Thursday look like a Zimbabwean petrol queue: filled with pretty, sharply-dressed people, of course. If you were there, we can assume you had as awesome a time as we did to the tunes of Tom Vek, Factory Floor and the DJs' sets.

I asked for funny faces: well done, boys

The combination of free drinks, a Boinc-sponsored photobooth and debauchery starting at about 8:30pm shaped up to a night of mischief and giggles. And one thing we learned from an awesome girl named Dora (shout out!): if you don't ask for the free unlisted champagne, you don't get it. Life lessons, people.

Big thanks to VICE, Kate at VICE for being a total sweetheart and all the organisers of the night. We can safely say it was a success.
