Nash Mariah — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:42:32 +0000

I’m one of the few people who have been unfortunate enough to end up in hospital after a night at After Hours, so I’m relatively nervous about re-living the experience in light of their latest theme choice. Nevertheless, I’m giving away 2 SETS of DOUBLE TICKETS to 2 WINNERS and this is how you can win them:

Like TRMB on Facebook here. Follow TRMB on Twitter here.
On Twitter, mention @_TRMB and @afterhours_show telling us about your weirdest/craziest/most entertaining trip to the hospital.
Be creative. The most interesting/entertaining/weird tweet wins.

Winners will be announced tomorrow.

Competition: Untamed Youth | Pencil It In

Nash Mariah — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 06:06:37 +0000

It’s that time of week again at Fiction and what you can expect tonight are performances by Tommy Gun, We-Are-Awesome, DJ Invizable and Sassquatch. As if the usual R12 beers and Tequilas weren’t enough to make the inner student inside you a little tempted to go (I’m speaking to you, fellow working professionals) how about if you and 4 of your friends could go for free? Do the math: cover charge is R30, so between the 5 of you’ll have an extra R150 to spend on those cheap drinks. Ya?

To enter all you have to do is:

Like TRMB (here) and Untamed Youth (here) on Facebook.
Or Follow TRMB (@_TRMB) and Untamed Youth (@UntamedYouthSA) on Twitter.
Then either write on TRMB’s page (here) or mention TRMB in a tweet about why you deserve to win.

Got it?

Competition: After Hours

Nash Mariah — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:06:35 +0000

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since After Hours (everyone’s favourite party) first started. For one night a month we’ve all consistently thrown our names away, woken up with feathers in the weirdest places and experienced True Romance, an Endless Summer, and a House Party like never before. This Saturday we’ll all be celebrating their first birthday and what’s been promised so far has been cake, prizes and a completely non-subtle hint about the mainstage of Assembly. Yes, this one is going to be the biggest and best After Hours yet and to get everyone excited I’m going to be giving away 3 GUESTLIST SPOTS to 1 WINNER for themselves and 2 of their friends.

To win, all you need to do is:

1. Prove you’re the biggest fan of After Hours by TWEETING/POSTING A PHOTO ON TRMB’S FACEBOOK TIMELINE of yourself at one of the previous parties.

2. Mention @_TRMB and @AfterHours_Show in your tweet.

The more cracked out, weird, embarrassing, or sexual the photo is the better your chances of winning.
