The Sarphatipark is located beautifully in the south of Amsterdam, and therefore was chosen to host ACE’s Beerhunt on the 5th of April. After the ACE had skilfully hidden all the beer bottles and explained the rules to the people pouring in to join the hunt could commence. People started going around the entirety of the park, leaving no nook and cranny untouched. Nobody was afraid of getting their hands
Where the wind makes trees whisper, the LLACE filled the Terpentijn with a blast of sound and joy, called jeopardy. On the 13th of March some of Etcetera’s members gathered at the pub to test their knowledge in a more non-judging and casual setting. The participants were divided into three teams, which had to compete for gold and – only for the smartest – silver coins. Even though these were
Open Mic It was not the first time that de Nieuwe Anita opened its welcoming doors for Etcetera´s talented. After the success of Poetry night, our lyrically gifted were once again literally given a podium to shine with their ingenious songs and the occasional well thought-out poetry. Within this personal setting several people and their acts had the chance of humbly showing of their singer song writer skills, in order
And what a sensation it was! On the 7th of February, we were gathered at ‘De Nieuwe Anita’ once again for an epic night of fun and translation.

All the Leidseplein needs to change into the center of enjoyment, amusement and a busy nightlife in general, is for the sun to go down. However, this particular night it was even more alive, since Etcetera joined with their pub crawl.

“Would you like to fuck me?” “Bingo” Joe Marshall, the samurai cop, calmly replied. We were there to see it. In between its Christmas decorations and after the High School Musical introduction two movies were shown during Movie Night. First the sequel, second the original. In the break between both, there was an opportunity to fill in, as Joe Marshall would definitely support, your own Bingo cards with your predictions
On the 22nd of November, poets and poetry lovers joined together for a poetry night in ‘De Nieuwe Anita’. The event, organised by LLACE, consisted of three activities: writing a poem based on an object and genre, writing a chain poem and an open mic. At the beginning of the evening, everyone was getting accustomed to the cosy surroundings of the venue and got their drinks from the bar, after
Monday, on the 13th of November, Etcetera´s ACE organised a game night. Around 6 pm the contest started; people were divided in four groups, and assigned to play certain games. After four hours of hardcore participating and fanatically playing there was a winner. Team blue turned out to have become victorious and was able to pick up their price. However, in between the somewhat worrying word choices during cards against
