wicked
they emailed me the line up earlier so i’m still pretty pumped after seeing his name!
Might bosh one out to the line up just to get it out my system.
its a good line up but this week I was working on the same site as the chap what booked in all the casualties from Glade when it was in SE England and he was on the emergency department (his first NHS assigment after moving to here from his native country). That (a large hospital in SE England getting double the number of incoming blue light casualties + 20 more “walking wounded” including victims of violence) and repeated year after year was why they got run out of SE England and cancelled one year, and why it costs something silly for a ticket (more than a months mortgage payment on my house!)
I’ve got nothing against the organisers or anyone who goes (in fact I kept this info secret for years to avoid making their license applications even harder) but one thing what annoys me is I feel they are not in East Anglia by choice on either side but because SE England no longer tolerates this event, and the costs of coppers etc even at a price what will buy you a penthouse flat in town by the docks here are cheaper than SE England. However this also prices out the locals as when Londoners will pay thousands for cops they get used to expecting this sort of money for a dance event. Suffolk Constabulary wanted £20 000 for Philosophers Fair (Waveform presumably did cough up a similar amount without dissent but the Inspya lot had uni courses, families etc to fund instead and and Eastern Haze gave up as it got way too expensive.

its £25 more than shambala without early bird tickets (shambala)… and line up looks peachy

Did you see that 3 part Ketamine Glade video that used to be on youtube??
‘The most fucked up person GLADE 2009’ 30 mins of a stage where the artist has finished and one guy is left with quite a few people watching and filming him off his head trying to stand up for 30 mins falling over like mental over and over. from reading the comments and people who knew him he was on MDMA + K.. what a fucking disaster that was.

I didn’t but I read a large part of the licensing discussions. Incidents like that and folk overdoing mephedrone similarly filled up North Hampshires Emergency Department. The worst part of it is the public services do not even make a profit from these fees, they are the genuine costs of dealing with muppets, especially as standard procedure in England is to put someone on life signs monitoring as they’ve often taken so much the NHS need to be sure they are going to make it. At least in NL and other nations drug users have more self discipline (they can’t test on site any more in NL as folk voted away the left wing/green politicians) also many events stopped translating their sites to keep the English out as they tend to be the ones what cane it to the point of going over). Even then last time I was on partyflock there was loads of sketchy shit going on at their formerly safe events and the councils refusing licenses especially in coastal areas (same as here, Ipswich uses Amsterdams operational policing/surveillance methods for nightlife without the tolerance!)
loads of people our age group (English as well as foreign) quit soon after their NHS training and work in elderly care homes as they feel the oldies are more deserving and are fed up with treating idiots their own age group what put themselves and others at risk and are on occasions sketchy and even abusive. Many are quite shocked when they learn I am into the rave scene/dance music and are surprised I’m actually not just alive but in a responsible job and not in a medium secure mental unit!
well im off with miss wonder… hope the sun gods make some sort of appearance
Bump
