IMPORTANT: Yen Ticket Update
If you don't already have a ticket to Yen, take note of the following messages we're getting from o2Culture:
1. All advance tickets are sold out.
2. Tickets will only be available on the door after 1am, and supplies are limited.
If you're keen on going to Yen, it's still worth taking the chance on going up to 798 - if you can't get a Yen ticket, the Ox Square party will be a decent alternative option.

Re: Horror Shows: Halloween Party Update
Paddy O'Sheas refused to honour this deal on the 31st. we went in costume and the staff had no idea about any shots or happy hour or vodka red bulls. we asked her to call the manager, she came back to the table and said "no, there is no special tonight"
