November 15, 2007 - BLACKOUT II @ Alfie's Nightclub!!

The best party of the month is back on Saturday, November 24th! If you came to Blackout Saturday in September, you already know what it is. We've got a sweet arsenal of lighting effects to completely transform Alfie's (black lights, wear white!).  DJ Eklypse will be back, spinning the best in hip hop all night while a live MC keeps the crowd moving.  We've also got a crew of talented breakdancers to pump up the dance floor.

To make the night even better, we've got Steam Whistle sponsoring the event, doing promos and giveaways throughout the night!  Cover at the door is $5 and goes towards subsidizing future live entertainment on campus. Don't miss it!

 November 14, 2007 - UPDATES!!

Sorry it's been so long since the last update, we've had lots of stuff going on.  To recap...

Roz Bell and db Clifford performed at Alfie's in October - awesome show!  It was a really chill night and everyone seemed to dig the music.  There's a sweet review of the show in the latest edition of diatribe, definitely check it out.  Just before Halloween, we had the Second City Sketch Comedy Tour stop by campus.  The auditorium was packed, the show was hilarious, good times all around.  We've also run two trips to Ottawa for Sens/Leafs games and one to Toronto to see the Raptors (being an avid Sens fan, I should note that the Leafs perished at both games, but I digress...).

It's definitely been a crazy couple of months!  Stop by Destinations to check out all the awesome events coming up... Lates!

 September 21, 2007 - BLACKOUT Saturday @ Alfie's Nightclub!

We've teamed up with Alfie's Nightclub to bring you the best party of the month on Saturday, September 29th! Our DJ will be spinning a variety of old and new school hiphop (and probably some stuff you haven't heard yet). To add some dynamic to the event, a dance team will hit the stage with a choreographed performance, while a crew of talented break dancers pump up the dance floor. A live MC will be running the show.

June 6, 2007 - WONDERLAND Trip!

The first project put on by the new Destinations/QEA team! On Saturday, June 23rd we're sending a fleet of buses to Canada's Wonderland for only $50 per person. The cost includes round-trip bus fare and park admission (admission alone is normally just over $50, so it's a pretty solid deal). Buses are leaving from the JDUC (corner of University and Union) at 7am, making our arrival time roughly 9:30-10am depending on traffic. Once we get there, the day is yours to enjoy as you see fit until 7pm when the buses will take us all back to glorious Ktown. It's going to be an awesome day so don't miss out... Tickets and info at Destinations!

June 6, 2007 - New Home for the QEA!

We are pleased to announce that the Queen's Entertainment Agency has merged with Destinations! From now on, if you have any questions about an upcoming event, just swing by Destinations during store hours (10am - 4pm during the summer, 9am - 5pm starting in September). This allows us to provide better service for students by making it easier than ever to stay informed about shows, purchase tickets and have all your questions answered. It also means that Destinations staff will be knowlegable on all things QEA and will be able to help you out if I'm not reachable. We're looking forward to an awesome year! Have a great summer.
