How to survive the Sevens: a guide for non-attendees
Posted by Hadyn on Thursday, 31 Jan 2008

- First off stay the hell away from the following areas: the Stadium, Courtenay Place from 6pm onwards, any of the Waterfront bars (especially the Loaded Hog and Dockside).
- Town will be filled with drunken people and people looking to take advantage of the drunks, so watch out if you decide to go out drinking as well
- If you are someone who wants to take advantage of the drunks, by all means, head to Courtenay Place
- If you don’t mind hanging out with drunks in costume and want to go out “on the town”, head out early or expect to wait in looooong lines
- If you want to drink but shudder at the idea of the Sevens hordes try bars like Motel or Hawthorn Lounge (who screen patrons) or Havana (because it’s a long way from the stadium)
- If you are walking the next morning, watch out for puke
- If you require a policeman, a fireman, a doctor/nurse, or a construction worker; ensure they are the genuine article first
- 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)
