It is time for the first newsletter of the year! Here are some of the excuses given by ChatGPT on why there hasn’t been any newsletter :
“We were too busy being New Year’s resolutions and promptly forgot to send a newsletter in January. Our sincerest apologies, we’ll try to be better at keeping our commitments this year.”
“January was so dry, we couldn’t write a drop of a newsletter”
“January was so dry, even the newsletter had a drought! But fear not, we’re making a comeback with a flood of updates in February.”
“Our publicist has been so busy trying to make resolutions stick, they forgot to send out a newsletter in January. Looks like they still have some ‘stick-to-it-iveness’ to work on.”
The guild’s annual ball is almost here 🎊🎊 ! Do not forget to sign up 🙌
Wishing everyone a nice week,

Annual Ball of Data Guild

The celebration begins on Saturday, 25th of February, at 17:00 in Smökki at Jämeräntaival 4 with cocktails, snacks and gifts. When the clock strikes 18:00, we will transition into the sitsit, held in English, with food and people out of this world, along with live performances. We follow up after the sitsit with a wondrous afterparty – and who knows where the night may lead after that?
After surviving the night, the next day we head towards the Living Room at JMT5 from 12:00 onwards to enjoy the Sillis, a day-after brunch, where you can enjoy good food and drinks, palju, company and entertainment, reviving yourself from a day well-partied.

[bun.ka] XIII ビデオジョッキ
Bunka is a traditional, 24 years old event concept where the theme of the evening and night is about frequently changing, short DJ and VJ sets. Bunka has no restrictions on genre or BPM, and (almost) anyone can sign up to play. For new DJs (後輩, kōhai), Bunka is a place to showcase their skills and for old ones (先輩, senpai) an opportunity to break out of their old habits and style. VJs (videoジョッキー, bideojokkii) also have the opportunity to show off.
Artist, DJ and VJ applications are now open until 11.2. You need to join entropy to apply. For DJs, please include an overview of the genres (in the artist profile) and BPMs (in the application) you are going to play as the line-up will be constructed upon that. Every DJ performance is 30 minutes long.
If you have any questions about the event, you can contact Entropy at info@entropy.fi
