Quiz night bitch and panic

It's tomorrow night. Barely ANYTHING is organised and I can just see this all sucking more than last year and Matt and I coming off looking like we can't organise anything, when most of the problem lies with Carolyn. *bangs head on desk*

- The questions are organised - thank GOD for that at least. It would have been nice to have them done a while back so we could talk to Grant Stone about them and organise the layout of the whole night, that hasn't been done.
- This whole preoccupation with "foolishness". Sure it's on April Fool's, that doesn't mean all the questions have to be stupid 2 year old questions because people will be discouraged if they get too many wrong. Most of the atendees will be uni students, we are hardly dumb and will only feel pissed off and patronised if the questions aren't challenging.
- The rounds, a bit weird, but in the end turned out okay.
- The prizes, we should have had major prizes WEEKS ago. I can just see tomorrow we'll meet up with Carolyn and she'll have a few promotional pens and caps and that'll be it. w00t, what a way to get people to think that's $6 well spent.
- Carolyn reckons we should have a table today or tomorrow. I got the e-mail about this this morning. Matt doesn't have uni on Monday, I have one lecture. Tuesday we are both flat out. She seems to have forgotten that we have lectures and work to do.
- She keeps reassuring us that she's organised loads of quiz nights. Were they all this last minute?? Did they all suck?? Has she ever been to a MARS quiz night? She doesn't seem to have a clue about the usual traditions and such.
- How many people will we have?? I gave the flier to some of the karaoke regulars. I would have prefferred Matt did that because he's overall chummier with everyone and his voice carries over the noise there. Unfortunately happenings on Friday made that not happen.
- Saturday prize soliciting was not as successful as hoped.
- I will hafta photocopy table quiz today or tomorrow, that is okay.
- We'll buy pies tomorrow, dunno when we'll slot them in.

*cries*
Guys, if you come along (PLEASE come along) give us a hand and some encouragement. It's not all the fault of Matt and I!!!
