Foamo.. foamo! As if I didn't come up with Foamo! I've been writing about this night all week and not at any one point did the word 'Foamo' occur to me.
Genuinely devastated, I had to have a sit down and a little cry when I found out that's what people were calling it.
I'll get over it though, it's Foamo tonight!!
This message is really just to give you an update on the getting in situation, tickets have flown out and are continuing to do so as we type, it's going to be close to a sell out so I recommend grabbing yours this afternoon if you can, as usual though don't panic if you can't, we will hold a some back for people paying on the door, just make sure you get down early.
Also, got requests? Either for the foam filled roam downstairs or the indie/electro/dubstep dry room upstairs.. get on our profile wall and let the DJs know.
See you tonight in the bubbles!

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 25.11.09
Imagine being a gnome in the UK. Sure you look good, with the hat, the beard, the strong ceramic thousand yard stare, hell, in attraction terms you're the envy of all garden pottery, but, well it's a long winter isn't it. The cold sets in, the wind rushes through your dungarees, the rain drips off your nose and fishing rod, the un-mown grass starts to tickle at your nose, and the only way anyone will scratch away the itch is when the local stray labrador starts lapping at it with his stubbly tongue, and that's not to mention what happens if it snows.
No, I'm much happier being a human in the winter, despite our numerous flaws and glass feelings.
Plus, when was the last time you saw a gnome in a nightclub, the dancefloor is just a sea of shattering hazards and drunken people, no matter how well intentioned, just can't be trusted with figurines.
Another good night then last night, some nice patches of difference from the last and some great moments of 'dance like you mean it' fists in the air, head tipped back, singing to the rood, plus Jammie won on the bandit, ding ding.
Cheers to you all for coming down again and giving it your all, and not letting the pesky rain put you off, and don't let it put you off partying this weekend either, there's so much fun to be had and you may as well have it while you're young, free and beautiful.
Have a dance off at the bus stop.

Where's Mavis? / 01.12.09 / Event Description
I've thought about it and I've decided.
I really like the big wheel on the Flagmarket in Preston city centre.
It's pointless, it takes up the whole square, nobody ever goes on it, it's a massive waste of time, space, money, and energy. It's Preston City Council's massive 'Fuck You!' to the recession, to environmental worries, to any sort of concern culture and doom 'n' gloom thinking.
You can see it, lit up and spinning, burning electricity into the night from all over Preston and it says one thing and one thing only 'It's Christmas, and we want a big wheel, so we've got one!', no sensible spending, no protecting the future, no nervous behaviour, just a big bloody indulgence.
I can't help but enjoy that.
So, Tuesday, new month, more party, still loving our nights at Method and really enjoying being able to shuffle the playlist around each week. Keep getting your requests into us so we know what it is you're after, both floors.
Entry is £2 all night, or £1 before 11pm if you click 'Attending' to this invite (forward it to your mates so they can get the discount too.
If you go to Quiz Akabusi upstairs at Method beforehand, you can stay all night for FREE. That kicks off at 8pm, Where's Mavis? starts rolling at 10pm.
Loads of drinks £1.50 all night.
Have a great weekend, see you Tuesday! x
P.S. Sorry about the big swear early on, I wrestled with it for a while but decided you could take it, it's in good context I feel.
P.P.S. When you get home from the the world will be fully digital. Heavy stuff.

Promo / Foam Party / Event Description
I have a giant rubber duck.
Seriously, half a metre from nose tip to tail feathers, I was overjoyed when he came into my life, I couldn't wait for bathtime, it was going to be so much fun, it was going to be the best bubble bath I'd ever had.
It wasn't though, I'll be honest with you, a giant rubber duck floating before you in a conventionally sized bubble bath is nothing short of terrifying, I became convinced he was going to peck my face off, it's ruined baths for me, I haven't been able to have one since, my girlfriend left me as a result, my friends make me sit at the opposite end of the table, and they won't let me into Waterstones anymore.
But now everything is OK, Promo has brought the answer to my life... FOAM PARTY!!!
I can go out and party with my duck in the biggest bubble bath we've ever seen, we can bond again, I can get over this fear, I can feel the cleansing power of the foam, dance with my friends again, replace my girlfriend with a foamy goddess. It's going to be awesome.
I trust you'll be there too, of course you will, it's a Foam Party at Promo, A FOAM PARTY AT PROMO!
Ridiculously brilliant.
Gaz & Fran playing all the usual anthems downstairs, where the room will be flooded with foam from a mighty foam cannon.
Karl & John upstairs in the FOAM FREE ZONE will be playing the best indie, electro and dubstep to keep you dancing. (Get your requests in now and we'll have them prepared.)
All the usual Promo drinks offers, with Fosters Bottles at just £1 all night too.
There's already a lot of interest in tickets so if you want to get your early bird £2.50 ones we suggest you hit up Source, SU Reception or your favourite Halls/Club Sellers right away.
See you Thursday, dress for foamy fun!
x
P.S. Oversized rubber ducks are available at Hawkins Bazaar in Fishergate Centre. I say this not because they've offered me a bung, but because I think it would be ace to see a room full of foam and giant ducks.

Promo / Jager Party / Skream / On The Day Reminder
Skream for help... it's the Jagersaurus!
I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. I've avoided Skream puns all week and now, at the last hurdle I've succumbed, and then added a made-up dinosaur, for just about no reason at all.
I was going to wobble on about the pre-dubstoric age before Skream and his cohorts roamed the land and the dawning of the Jagertime but let's all be honest here, you're a busy person and while you're happy to indulge me a couple of paragraphs before the sales pitch the last thing you want is to have to read some fantastical nonsense about skanking dinosaurs downing Jagerbombs.
Though I bet you now have that image in your head, like The Family Ness: Unleashed.
So it's Promo tonight, our big Jager Party with Skream! I've already told you loads about Skream, but essentially, he's a tip top tank of Dubstep and responsible for doing this:
...amongst many other things.
He'll be on upstairs in the club, with our wonderful resident John Crossley playing warm up, and the Jager will be flowing all night at just £1.50, £2.50 with the Red Bull too.
So, go forth, get your tickets and relish the fact you live in a modern land, with umbrellas and trainers and Promo.
See you tonight!

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 18.11.09
I don't know about you, but I haven't eaten Skittles in months, nor have a been bowling, but that's my problem I guess.
Last night then, even better than the week before, which was even better than the week before, that's a graph that everyone has to like, unless they're a tiny animated skier that lives on graph paper, but it's been ages since I've seen one of those round here. It's you guys who've done that, with your showing up and dancing, then telling your mates to show up and dance, and so on and so on.
So how are you enjoying it at Method then? I'll be honest with you, I walked away from last night gently buzzing, and a big part of that was thanks to the dancing, and the fact we got to play some songs we haven't played in ages and you guys seemed to love it. Granted we got a bit pop-hop heavy in the last half hour, but you guys seemed to be loving it and it's nice to do something different once in a while. Don't worry, it won't take over, but it's fun to do on the odd occasion. But through the night we managed to play a lot of requests that we could never have done till recently, and I say let's have more of that, keep the requests coming, for both floors, so long as you're dancing, we'll be listening.
On a personal note, it's great to see the ska/punkers in on the ground floor, full dancefloors to Capdown, NoFX and even blooming Down By Law was really nice to see, it's a long time since I've managed to get away with that, it used to be a big part of the night when we first got going. On this note.. if you guys are reading this, speak up, I'd love to promise a full 30-40 minutes early doors one week, crack out some more NoFX, Rancid, Catch 22, Leftover Crack, Sublime, Bouncing Souls, Vandals... Fat Flippin' Wreck heaven. Let us know if you're up for it.
Similarly, everyone else, what are you wanting more of? Both floors, make sure we know, we've got a great situation at Method where, so long as we play a bit of what everyone wants and don't forget the big tunes, we can change things about a bit and throw in a few curve balls (I may not have used that analogy correctly, I'm not American and have never even seen a Baseball game)... so yeah, keep talking to us so we can keep listening.
I have to shoot, I've got a date with Lily Allen (don't worry, I'm not planning on fitting her into the playlist anytime soon, she's for days off), but erm, yeah, it's good to talk and all that.
Oh yeah, if things keep going this well we'll probably look at opening the third room sometime, any suggestions on what you'd like from it?
Treat yourself to a Kinder Egg and cuddle a stranger.

Where's Mavis? / 24.11.09 / Event Description
NOTE - THE GUESTLIST WILL BE CLOSED AT 8PM, YOU MUST CLICK ATTENDING BEFORE THIS TIME TO GET FREE ENTRY BEFORE 11PM.
Did hedgehogs get their name because they wouldn't let the other woodland creatures play in the shrubbery?
Questions like this keep me up at night, that and indigestion, that's always a sleep disturber. Mornings though, nothing keeps me up, usually not even my alarm, between the hours of 6am and 10am I think I could sleep through a volcanic eruption, and not just because the nearest volcano to my house is miles away, further than Chorley.
I'm a big believer that fighting against nature is not only futile, but foolhardy, go with it. If you're hungry, eat. If you're thirsty, drink. If you're tired, sleep. If it tastes nice, it's good for you. If it smells good, sniff it. If it feels good, touch it. Well, actually that last one you should sometimes ask permission first, otherwise it gets complicated.
In conclusion, nobody should have to work before 11am if the don't want to, which also means that everyone could go out 'til late at night if they want to, take Tuesdays for example., this Tuesday...
As you may have already seen from this weeks blog/note and status, we're very much enjoying our Tuesday nights at Method, getting to play some new (and old) stuff, on both floors at getting a really good party crowd in, it's nice, very nice.
So get your requests in now, stuff for both floors, for early doors, for dancin' really dancin'.
Doors open 10pm, Free entry before 11pm when you click 'Attending' to this event (Invite your mates so they know about it.), £2 after, open 'til 3am, loads of drinks at £1.50 all night.
You look good in that dressing gown, see you Tuesday!

Promo / Jager Party / Skream / Event Description
I was sat in a square in Amsterdam, lazy afternoon drinking, easing myself into the evening and whatever that might bring. The barman/waiter came to take our order "Four more beers lads?", "Sure thing sir", "Can I interest you guys in a round of Jagerbombs too?"
Everyone remembers their first Jagerbomb, the taste, the theatre, there's no drink like it. It's hardly any surprise that Jagermeister has swept so completely into the public consciousness in only a few years, become such a part of our party routine.
So Promo this Thursday, 19th November, we're gonna celebrate with a Jager Party and we'll be selling the lovely stuff at just £1.50, £2.50 with your Red Bull, all night. Gotta be a winner.
Oh yeah, and we've got a special guest upstairs, guy who goes under the name of Skream, you might have heard of him, dubsteppingly speaking, he's quite a big deal, have a look at this press...
------
Meet Skream: Croydon's musical wonderkid. At 15 he discovered making music. Five years later he's changed the course of UK urban music, having helped build the foundations of London's most exciting new musical style, dubstep. But he's barely started yet: because right now, Skream is an artist on fire.
------
I'm told, on the grapevine, no two sets are ever the same, true excitement.
So, you're coming to the party, excellent.
Tickets as ever now on sale at SU Reception, Source and from your favourite halls & club sellers. None students wanting to come down can grab tickets from SU Reception or www.lancashiretickets.com
Spread the word, see you Thursday!

Promo / Beats of Rage / On The Day Reminder
Whenever I'm considering whether to go out or not I always arrive at the same point. I always imagine myself, 70 years old, sat by the fire with my loving parter of several decades, surrounded by photographs of the amazing life we've had together, staring into their eyes and saying "And to think dear, I nearly didn't go out that night."
The above I have shamelessly stolen from an old comedy sketch, I spent over an hour on YouTube last night looking for it, I think it's Newman & Baddiel, or perhaps Mary Whitehouse Experience, if you find it, link me up, I'll reward you with cookies, or at least pictures of cookies, this being the virtual word and all.
Regardless. I think you'll agree that it is more inspiring than The Dead Poet's Society and The Sound of Music combined.
If you haven't already wrecklessly abandoned your computer to go buy tickets for Promo tonight (don't worry I'll keep an eye on it), here's some fun facts about why you should...
1) ALL ADVANCE TICKETS TONIGHT ARE £2.50!
2) BEATS OF RAGE ARE PLAYING UPSTAIRS IN THE CLUB!
30 BLUE WKD £1.50, WK £1.30, DOUBLE SMIRNOFF £1.75, CORKY'S £1
3) WE'RE OPEN 'TIL 3AM!
4) THE MUSIC
5) THE MOONLIGHT
6) THE LOVE
7) THE ROMANCE
8) THE FACE
9) THE MUSIC (again)
10) THE DANCE
11) IT'S PROMO
12) IT'S PROMO!!
13) IT'S PROMO!!!
You look incredible by the way, see you tonight!
P.S. Due to Friendly Fires playing early doors entry to Promo tonight will be via Source until 11pm, then all usual doors will be used.

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 11.11.09
Well, wasn't that just splendid.
I was sick yesterday, real genuine pathetic man type sick, day in bed having surreal and vivid dreams sick, managed to eat half a bowl of soup sick, moan moan moan woe is me why must I suffer sick.
Y'know, I had a bit of a bug.
Needless to say, at 9pm the idea of 5 hours in a noisy nightclub filled me with a little bit of the fear, mostly in case I ended up curled up and asleep behind a speaker while people piled empty glasses on me in a huge game of human buckaroo.
I needn't have feared, it was, as I have said, splendid. Great people, great atmosphere, great cure for the lurgee. It's brilliant to see how you guys are taking to Method and it already feels like home. We're getting requests and playing requests, we're having some fun to a bif of the cheesy stuff then bopping along to something a little rarer, mixing it up and bobbing around.
At this rate we might need to start looking at opening the 3rd room before too long, mmm, possibilities possibilities.
See you all next week, start getting your requests in for both floors early.
Have a top weekend, you've earned it.

Where's Mavis? / 17.11.09 / Event Description
I have a friend, he's a Yorkshireman. Tough northern lad, plays cricket, drinks bitter, dry sense of humour, plays drums, the works. Well, last night, mild autumn evening that it was, I caught him wearing two coats.
2 coats.
There are no words.
Anyway, Mavis...
Next Tuesday will be our 3rd Tuesday at Method and after last week I can't wait. Method has felt like home from minute one and last week was just brilliant, we're getting a great crowd down at Method and the atmosphere in both rooms is really building, from the sweaty metal fuelled pit downstairs to the relaxed party on the ground floor. And with so many drinks, including Jagerbombs at just £1.50, it's tough not to get into the spirit of things.
We kick things off at 10pm but don't forget, if you go to Quiz Akabusi upstairs first (50p entry, food at half time, starts at 8pm) you can get into Mavis afterwards for absolutely nothing at all.
Don't fancy the quiz? Click 'Attending' on this event and entry to Mavis will cost you nothing anyway, so long as you're in before 11pm. Invite your mates to this event to make sure they can take advantage of it too.
Feel free to start getting your requests in, enjoy your weekend, and we'll see you Tuesday.

Next Tuesday will be our 3rd Tuesday at Method and after last week I can't wait. Method has felt like home from minute one and last week was just brilliant, we're getting a great crowd down at Method and the atmosphere in both rooms is really building, from the sweaty metal fuelled pit downstairs to the relaxed party on the ground floor. And with so many drinks, including Jagerbombs at just £1.50, it's tough not to get into the spirit of things.
We kick things off at 10pm but don't forget, if you go to Quiz Akabusi upstairs first (50p entry, food at half time, starts at 8pm) you can get into Mavis afterwards for absolutely nothing at all.
Don't fancy the quiz? Click 'Attending' on this event and entry to Mavis will cost you nothing anyway, so long as you're in before 11pm. Invite your mates to this event to make sure they can take advantage of it too.
Feel free to start getting your requests in, enjoy your weekend, and we'll see you Tuesday.

Promo / Beats of Rage / Event Description
I just re-tuned my Freeview, now I only get channels broadcast by the BBC, which is a shame.
Who needs TV anyway, when we have Promo, and this Thursday it's Promo AND Beats of Rage, Preston's biggest student night meets Preston's most exciting club phenomenon once again, and in celebration Blue WKD, the cheeky little sky coloured bottle that loves the beats so much, has declared it will cost only £1.50 all night.
Bottles can talk, or they do to me.
Right, now there's some important things you need to know about this weeks Promo.
1. ALL ADVANCED TICKET ARE £2.50, FOR EVERYONE, STUDENT OR NOT - GET IN!
2. WE'RE OPEN UNTIL 3AM - WACKADAY!
3. BEATS OF RAGE DJS WILL BE PLAYING UPSTAIRS IN THE CLUB - GIGGEDY!
For the uninitiated to Beats of Rage, it's Preston's trailblazing filthy electro and dirty beats clubnight, rising in just 3 years from basement raves at plungy house parties to a nationally renowned regular sell-out club party responsible for bringing some of the worlds most exciting acts to the little city of Preston. The atmosphere when the BoR DJs play Promo is something else, just ask around.

The observant of you will have noticed that Friendly Fires are playing 53 Degrees this Thursday. This is a sold out gig and is NOT part of Promo. There'll be playing till 10pm and then packing up, the may hang around, who knows, they should, it's gonna be an awesome party.

Promo / Sex on Fire / On The Day Reminder
Are you ready for the HOTTEST PROMO of the year?!
Remember, remember the Fifth of November
The night that Promo got HOT...
Finish your own pesky rhyme, I've done enough for you by now.
Over the last few days I have personally rounded up a troupe of BURLESQUE DANCERS, constructed a FOUNTAIN OF CHOCOLATE, supersized a TWISTER mat, devised a cunningly amusing PORN NAME GAME, and invented photography so you can have a SEXY PHOTO COMPETITION. I've also persuaded ANN SUMMERS herself to give me ton of questionable items to GIVE AWAY to you via the classic means of TOMBOLA, perfected the SEX ON THE BEACH COCKTAIL (pint version) and taught the DJs everything there is to know about MUSIC.
Ok, I've done none of that, other people have, talented people, hard working people, passionate people. I mostly just write these words in the hope of sending you down to the ticket office with a smile on your face.
And of course, all this extra entertainment is Catherine Wheels, Rockets and Bangers to the raging Fire that Promo!
DJs Gaz & Fran playing the hottest and sexiest Anthems, RnB, Dance, Pop etc downstairs.
Karl Yates & John Crossley playing the most explosive Indie, Electro and Dubstep upstairs, and of course, this week is a whole night of uninterupted dirty disco in the upstairs room so you can dance till your feet are on fire, as is appropriate for the season.
Tickets are selling fast but you can still get yours from the usual outlets of UCLan SU Reception, Source, and of course your favourite Halls & Club Sellers.
See you at Promo, stay sexy San Di.. erm, Preston.

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 04.11.09
You may not have noticed, you may spend a lot of time looking at your feet and have a waterproof head, but it's been raining a bit this week. Hardly noticeable really, few puddles on the floor, few spots landing on foreheads, ducks smiling like they've got Love Eggs in, little clues.
I've never been too troubled by rain, but I find it does tend to keep people in their houses, something about ruining hair, or shoes, or those bloody smug ducks. Though there is that thing where a car splashes through a puddle and everyone gets really wet, that's brilliant.
My point is, that arriving at Method yesterday after a tough week, while the rain poured, there was a touch of pessimism in the mix, but walking into that club to see a bunch of familiar faces, the old gang as it were, pushed that out quite quickly, it just felt like being home again.
Then to have all you guys show up and make it a great opening night, despite the rain, despite it being the week after Halloween (What must be by now the 2nd most expensive week of the year.), despite everything else that was going on, and to see you all get stuck in and make it feel like a home we can all enjoy, that was pretty nice too.
Cheers for that, may all your rain-showers be brief and invigorating, keep some of that Tea Tree Tingle stuff about your person at all times. Mmmm minty sting.

Where's Mavis? / 10.11.09 / Event Description
As is my custom on a Thursday, I've spent the day thinking about what topic I would use as the basis for my fun little blurb in this event invite. The rain seemed obvious, the fireworks another option, maybe I'd talk about that checkout girl in Aldi that I fall a little bit more in love with every time I buy a £1.59 pizza, maybe I'd go nuts and actually talk about the night, or Method, or Cheryl Cole's ridiculous solo record.
It was almost impossible to decide, so imagine my joy when I arrived home and clicked the happy red notification box to find that some of you guys had pretty much written this for me.
Let's see...
Gotta say I wasn't going to go but I did and it turned out to be pretty good. Probably because the dj in the metal room (although not actually having the stuff I asked for) said he felt he needed to get the stuff which suggests to me he will at some point. I'llk be back again next week I think!
I can honestly say it was the best night I've had out in Preston ever. EVERRR. PR1 was all well and good but it wasn't very comfortable. Method fills in the gaps where PR1 missed out. I LULFF ITT.
I must admit, I was a bit dubious as to how Mavis would turn out at Method but it was such an awesome night. Thank yoooou :) Roll on next week... HAZAAARRR!! x
oh my god . Tonight. Brilliant :) method all the wayy
That basement was ace, but needed some seats
I enjoyed it from what i can remember
I agree, loved the basement, a few seats would be cool.
Amazing, thanks for saying such kind words guys, brings a tear to this old monkey's eye.
We'll get you a few seats downstairs for next week.
--------
So, see you all at Method on Tuesday, £1.50 drinks, great times, great music, the best door team in Preston history, and, click 'Attending' to this invite and we'll let you in FREE before 11pm. Beyond that, it's only £2 all night anyway.
And don't forget, Quiz Akabusi upstairs starts at 8pm, costs 50p and you get fed, and if you enter the quiz you get to stay in Mavis totally free!
