i am sorry if my first post on sj was not comprehensible enough.
of course we were not at the legal site 😉
would have been a bit pathetic and we would rather have stayed home instead 😉
all went fine at the end, one sound has been confiscated against the deal with the cops, which will lead plenty of ravers today midday to go to the paris manifestations with their sound systems.
even tho no one really is angry about the seizure as it is nothing mire than for the press, to show they at least punished us and to scare people for the next time. legally to this sound will happen nothing but a day in front of the court were they will go out without any fine, cause there are no proofs that they had done the organization. the sound will be back in 1,5 monthes. we spoke to them right after they got seized and they were laughing, cause even the cops admitted that they had to do this for the press release :oh_god:
if something is still unclear, let me know.
about the legal one i don´t have much information, it started small and ended big, everyone is happy, people felt all like on a free event cause the floor was covered in human and dog shit, everything´s cool for everyone, everyone got what they wanted 🙂
and the scene is separeted, the mailinglist of the national collective of soundsystem will stop and start again as two different.
this step had to be done, cause it is not possible to keep such a big movement united if the ideals are so different.
there is not even a need to argue o struggle, at the end i think everyone will be happy with the solution to go different ways from now on 🙂

thanks for the clarification, I wasn’t sure TBH and having spent nearly all my life in England I’m not used to countries so many of disused airbases, although there are some here most of ours get sold for other uses very quickly (you might get one rave in them if you are lucky then they are locked down!) or the Americans use them.

best of luck, I hope this is the case..
:yakk: I hope this is not what you think an English free party is like! It is a lot cleaner, people (and dogs) go to the sides of the party area…

sounds a lot like what happened in England about 12 years ago. I hope though there is still pressure on the govt to allow the parties with up to 500 people, as we have a similar law now in England which works but there is to o much paperwork required, the next step is to get the events tolerated without the bureaucracy.
ok its a late start but need to find location of site got mates there but cannot get in touch plaese some one post site adress its in full swing so i thinks pigs already in da know so please no cloak and dagger stuff cheers …
:crazy: :crazy:
Not quite to the same intensity (no batton between the legs!!) but when I went to FrenchTek in 95 (??) I got there on the Tuesday, had a wicked 24hrs with a bunch of English rigs (Bedlam/Spirals/Vox Populi etc) and then tried to return on the Friday night. I was rucksacked up to the max with tentage etc, and came across a gendarme (or CRS, didn’t stop to ask) who just stood there with his arms crossed saying “Access interdit”. Fortunately my french is good enough to understand what he was saying, but it wasn’t the words that put me off, it was his gun. At this time in UK, we had had virtually no voilent party evictions (Acton Lane and Torpedo Town aside!!) and I was neither in a position to run across the fields nor argue with the gun-toting copper.
All you Euro guys might laugh, but until you’ve faced an armed copper who doesn’t want you to do what we did most weekends in the UK, I have to say I chickened out and ran away.
Shame really, coz the atmosphere on the Tuesday had been amaxing, and it could only have got better by the weekend.
Fortunately for me, it was only an hour and a half from my parents holiday cottage, so I got back and spent the weekend chilling before comign back to England.
Good luck all those going – RAVE hard.
