I went, stood outside waiting to get in for 2 hours then they said they wern’t letting anyone else in, so we tried breaking in round the back, didn’t manage that so we went round to one of my brothers mates houses and got wasted.

Bunch of dis-organised bastards if you ask me my first and last london squat party:wink:

sadly its different in Londonistan, not so much disorganised but security concious

they need to do that (single, guarded entry/exit point) to try and stop the gangs getting in (some people on SJ are hinting the doors were shut to contain a incident inside) and also to get the £10 entry fee what pays for the security but as you state there is “collateral damage” such as people not being able to get in

its the reality of squat parties in the capital in 2008 and why I wasn’t particularly fussed over going (just getting there would be £30 in train fare)

I don’t even grudge the security dudes and the crews their share of the tenner (especially as I was once part of one of the crews involved) and TBH the security are literally putting their lives on the line – but when I could have gone Epidemik for just £3 more, it does make you wonder if London free parties are starting to “jump the shark”

Yea I wasn’t too bothered in the end, apparantly it wasn’t the building they had planned to use which was much bigger, and the one they used just wasn’t big enough.

Oh well, oooop norths miles betterraaa

well I thought it was bait as fuck advertising that event on murdochspace, SJ etc for weeks beforehand, Scotland yard aren’t daft and its hardly surprising they lost their first venue

I think you are comparing apples with oranges though, London parties would be more like Manchester (equally on top from what I hear) whilst most of your decent parties are on the moors (didn’t some dude sing a old song about how you have to wear a hat there when chasing after young girls :laugh_at:) or in Sheffield which is more like a Northern version of Reading with smaller but friendlier squat parties..

Ha yea was good speaking to you anyway, playground polatics rang me sometime sunday and he was in there, I couldn’t really hear what he was saying though.

We did think about going back a few hours later but were too smashed by then.

IMO it was absolutley phat as you like!! We had to que for a couple of hours too, but waited patiently they were trying to find a way of getting people through orderly and once they started letting peopel through it was fine, well worht the que once inside was absolutley massive! To be honest I was happy paying a tenner and queing the security were proffessional and did their jobs well felt like one of the safetest london partys considering the size raaa

yeh you would have got in at 7am no problem at all. queued for a couple hours, but well worth it, phat party! fair play to them for getting their security good again in london, im happy to queue for a decent party if it means im gonna be safer. did end up sniffing all my drugs before i got in tho..

rigs were awesome, the techno was piss poor – slow and boring but everything else was phat. bumped into some mates i havnt seen for ages which was a cool surprise. didnt even realise their were rigs upstairs until the morning… left about 5pm, hanging today but had a wicked weekend.

fair play to alll the crews and security

Got there at about 1, queued for 2/3 hours then the gates got locked and apparently it was “one in, one out” so we went back to a mates house. I’m surprised anyone in the queue even got in as everyone seemed to be pushing in at the gate.
