For all those just emerging from the hangover fog of the Opening Ball, the Stand shares your pain. We recommend you just refill your glass, because this week is definitely one that requires a decent alcohol tolerance…

Let’s Get Bongo’d at Rascals: The only Ball at which you are thoroughly encouraged to wear a onesie kicks off this week with a cheeky promo party at Rascals. Premiering it’s very own cocktail, a fruity little delight with strawberries and kiwis embellishing the rim of the glass, it has been promised that you will get utterly Bongo’d off a pitcher or three. Come and warm up to the safari vibe before the main event later this month.

Sitara 2013 Model Auditions: Coming into its sixth year, Sitara has built itself up to be a unique highlight on the fashion scene as it mixes performance, acting and Asian fusion fashion. If you think you can pull off the Geisha look whilst playing out scenes from Aladdin (we kid you not), drop in to the open auditions this Monday or Wednesday in Venue 2.

Swing at the Vic: Swing Dance Soc is back from its mega successful trip to the roaring 20s, and is putting on its second event in the Social Club. Polka dots, bowler hats and all things vintage are encouraged once again, as we get ready to party oldschool and get snapped by their photographers. We recommend getting there early, as the Speakeasy was over capacity within minutes.

STAR: After a roller-tastic launch last week, STAR deserves a listen. They’ve got a host of incredible shows playing all kinds of tunes, and even had Bill Murray in for a chat this week, so go on over to listen live online or grab one of their podcasts. Yet another way to procrastinate in the library, or just drown out the inane female chatter coming from the next table.

Check your deadlines: A word of warning from the Stand – get on to iSaint and make sure there isn’t a nasty little essay deadline creeping up on you. You don’t want to have to miss out on the Bongo cocktail or swingin’ in the Vic because you have to write 2,000 words on something irrelevant to your life.

See you next week Stand-ers!
