Was your weekend green too?

This weekend was awesome! INTERNeX candidates and their friends joined the St. Patrick’s Day Club Crawl last Saturday. We started at The Blarney Stone with 49 people! The first people showing up got a free beer and everyone got free green accessories. After a good time at the Blarney Stone and after everyone arrived we were ready to go to the next place!
We had our own INTERNeX Party Bus to bring us from club to club. This was one of the highlights of the evening! Driving through Dowtown Vancouver (and further) in a big yellow school bus with party music! After the Blarney Stone we went to Roxy, The Motel and Au Bar!

In the INTERNeX Party Bus

At the Blarney Stone two of our candidates (Jeanette and Patrick) had to compete in a drinking game against two others. They both had to down a beer and after wards Jeanette had to blow up a balloon and whoever was faster would win tickets for the St. Paddy’s Party this Thursday and of course our INTERNeX candidates won!! We’re very proud!
In Roxy’s they held a lottery which was won by a friend of our INTERNeX candidate Louisa, David. He won a lot of St. Patrick accessories and some free beers. Congratulations David!!

Thattttt’s right! If you’re feeling irish next week and want to come out for some good times and cheap drinks, join us on July 28, 2010 at the Blarney Stone in Gastown!

Wednesday night this bar has some great specials going on, like $4 pints, $4 highballs and 50 cent wings! Drink, eat, dance, sing – whatever! Do it with INTERNeX Wednesday night! No cover so come on out around 8:30 p.m.! If you haven’t been to the Blarney Stone before, this bar has a great atmosphere, and it’s really big!

Let’s Go Paintballing!

Ready to gear up? Join other INTERNeX candidates for an adrenaline-rushing game of Paintball on Thursday July 8, 2010. Shoot or get shot as we run, crawl and hide over a span of three-acre terrain!  You don’t want to miss this event – and girls – you need to come out too!

We will be playing from 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. at NorthShore Paintball, which is located just minutes from downtown Vancouver. Let’s get a big group of us, because although July 8 is already Half Price Thursdays, if we get a group of 12 or more, then we pay $28.00 for entry, rentals and 200 paintballs! This is an awesome deal!

Laura and I will be heading over to a thrift store to pick out some outrageous outfits (maybe even some comfortable dresses) to wear while we pulverize the boys! Make sure to wear comfortable, old clothing because this is going to be a highly active couple of hours! Grab some friends, some coworkers, even your boss and open fire at INTERNeX Paintball! We guarantee you’ll relieve some stress and leave with tons of fun memories (and maybe a few bruises).

If we don’t get a group of 12 or more, here are the prices. Please note that NorthShore Paintball only accepts cash payments, so please come prepared.

Admission:

Pay only $10 for rentals and entry! Not including paintball prices.
