While this question is hyperbolic to an extent as Ruby would later express to me how they did find events with similar pursuits as their own such as LADS (Ladies and Decks) which takes place in Cobalt Studio, it is emblematic of a larger issue present in the scene, especially as these nights are harder to come by. Ruby went on to comment that \u2018In the whole clubbing industry, for doing promotion, DJing, managing, I\u2019ve heard a lot of stuff about women not being paid or being underpaid. There\u2019s also a massive emphasis on tokenism in being a women in the scene. They drop you in the lineup to have a bit of representation and it\u2019s not really authentic.\u2019 Creating an authentic experience for all parties was crucial then and became the driving force behind the event they aimed to organise themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dodie and Ruby approached Flo since she had taken up DJing over the last year and according to them, \u2018it all just snowballed from there.\u2019 When it came to branding the event, playing on the vulgar slang term for women\u2019s genitals was a no brainier for them. \u2018We thought it was hilarious when we said it and it\u2019s kind of perfect because it\u2019s taking the piss out of being women but it\u2019s also reowning the word\u2019 Ruby asserted when asked on the decision. With a gap in the market in terms of a night out for third year students in Newcastle, a Tuesday night worked perfectly for both the chosen name and attracting a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of addressing the problem of underrepresentation, See You Next Tuesday aims to acknowledge and lessen the difficulties of being in these spaces as a woman. \u2018Everything about clubbing is harder for women, you\u2019re viewed as sexual objects which makes it less enjoyable. The potential for harassment is so big so we wanted to make a safer space\u2019 they told me, confirming that the attitudes and actions of men in these environments often inhibit enjoyment at events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the lineup and the marketing of the event were curated to try and combat this, a move which many events could benefit from. Further action was taken to ensure that the event promoted their ideology too, that being their collaboration with charity campaign \u2018Lets Get Our Knickers in a Twist\u2019 who aim to provide vulnerable women with underwear. \u2018It worked with what we\u2019re doing\u2019 Flo said, \u2018We\u2019re really pleased that we did it for charity as well because it felt like something not just done for ourselves but for other people too.\u2019 See You Next Tuesday aim to support more charities that acknowledge women\u2019s issues throughout their next events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flo continued, \u2018People like us want to make a change\u2019 and this was evident from the night organised by the group. \u2018We\u2019re really pleased with how it went and are looking forward to hopefully doing even bigger and better stuff soon\u2019 the pair informed me, confirming another event to be coming as early as February with a few more to follow throughout 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the event at Ernest sold 150 tickets, these deserved follow ups certainly have the potential to be even more successful given the goals and passion that is evidently behind them.
