Intro

8pm, 17th Sept, D'Star Bistro A monstrous amalgam of alcohol, engineering students and knowledge, in conjunction with the lads at OpenSUTD

Inspired by a twitter post by cometcrystal saying "a show like drunk history but it's called drunk special interests and the guest infodumps about their special interest instead of talking about a history topic**

Early Concept

casual community conversations get smashed get smart

what and why : drunk lightning talks to entertain and educate; keep the opensutd spirit alive after discoverSUTD

where: anywhere with

  1. booze
  2. space for presentations [examples: mont calzone / crooked cooks / rootcove but with self provided alcohol]

sessions are thematic - first session can be about intern experiences from returning term 6 seniors to the term 2 freshies. the theme can also be the format of the presentation - 20slides x 15sec ignite or 20x20 pecha kucha for more pictorial/visual topics

why do these:

  1. essentially the whole open source community idea but with booze
  2. not much admin/logs to plan as you just need to settle a venue + projector + maybe a laptop
  3. maybe we have to work out a deal with the CC/calzone owners
