Avant-Garde Experience: 21st December

It's the end of the world - so we're off to get drunk

Well people it looks like we might not be able to finish our Advent of Awesome since today’s the end of the world and all. The 21st is officially the day that the Mayan calendar, which began in 3114BC, ends. I’d argue that the poor bloke chiselling the damn thing had to finish somewhere but none-the-less widespread global rumour and speculation has brought about numerous ‘end of days’ theories. These include us getting hit by a comet, a planetary alignment which will cause a total blackout, a polar shift or a giant solar storm (any of which will mean we’re screwed).

So serious are people taking these apocalypse theories that some governments have issued public addresses, a small mountainside village in France has been overrun with folks planning to be rescued by aliens, and NASA has a dedicated page on their website to disprove these theories and calm troubled minds….of course I’d think we wouldn’t really be told it was the end of the world so as to keep order for as long as possible...just saying....

Brightside it’s a damn good excuse for a party and it even falls on a Friday night! How’s that for convenience? Avant Grade is telling you to go out, get wrecked and have a good time. We'll see you on the other side. Here’s a song and a drink to get your evening started, we think both are rather fitting for the occasion:
