  • No matter what you wear, your costume won't be the best or most original one. If you want to get in the paper, just show a lot of skin. although this Moses costume (pictures) is one of my favourites (click it to read the "commandments")
  • Try to limit yourself to the following areas: the Stadium, Courtenay Place from 6pm onwards, any of the Waterfront bars (especially the Loaded Hog and Dockside). People might not think your costume is as funny the further you get from these places
  • Do NOT go to the following bars, you will be hated: Motel, Hawthorn Lounge, Havana
  • Not to sound like your mother, but stay sun smart. And stay hydrated (a glass of water every now and again. Trust me, life will be so much nicer if you’re not sunburnt and nauseous
  • Town will be filled with people looking to take advantage of the drunks, so watch out (or if you want to be taken advantage of, just do what you were gonna do)
  • Seriously be careful, the fewer fights and muggings and worse the better
  • If you follow the first point, then expect to wait in looooong lines
  • Peeing in public is easy, but at least be a little discrete
  • Everyone has a camera, remember that before doing something stupid
  • If you hook up in one of the bars, ensure that the person is actually of the gender that you prefer (Sevens is a time for masquerade)

I would also add that newbies should try and remember it is TWO days and not go hard out like a maniac on the first day. You will truly regret missing the real party which is always the evening/night of the final day!!!!
