Friday Night: Chaos Thaoghaire

Chaos Thaoghaire at WordCamp

We’re delighted to announce that the delightful Chaos Thaoghaire will be at WordCamp, bringing their bewildering combination of parlour games, judge bribing, story telling, and general mayhem to Langton’s on Friday night.

According to the website,

Chaos Thaoghaire is a live event that features personal stories interspersed with team games. Your hosts are The Chaosettes, a duo drunk on their insatiable desire for power and popularity. The stories are all true (or truthy), and the Google-proof games reward cunning, flippancy, wordplay, underhandedness and generally favour the sort of person who would never be allowed on a table quiz team.

Of course it’s confusing. They didn’t call it Organised And Perfectly Straightforward Thaoghaire, did they? They’d have been sued for sure, and while they’re fine when in front of their own crowd, they always break down in front of a judge. All you need to know is that The Chaosettes live by a belief in the earnest pursuit of ludicrous things.

According to the Irish Times, “It’s as if the Golden Girls were running a bingo night in a mental asylum where everybody had the wrong medication.” How could you not want a piece of that?

To join in the fun, just add your name in the comments here. This event is free of charge, and kicks off at 8 PM on Friday, March 5th in the Tea Room at Langtons. Let the hijinx begin!
