I would have loved to have been there, i did think about everyone out there while i was having it large on the top of a mound at Peterborough. My appologies for not trying harder, next time though, thank you to the people who protested on our behalf :horay:
E.A.R.:
We had 4 aims:
-a good participation, we hoped 10 000 people
-a good meltin of people from all over the world
-a good press coverage
-a good image to spread
Participation was not really achivied, we had between 2 and 3 000 people and 12 rigs, most of the people that were still sayin 2 days ago that they were comin did not, why? Maybe for some of them they were doubtfull about the rioting possibilities, for some it was money reasons, and for some maybe the aims and revendications were not clear as we lost much time dealin with rumors and desinformation made by a french mediator (who is now askin us to thanks him as without him “we would have been 20 000 and it would have been the mess”…).
Meltin pot was really good with people from Usa, Finland, Switzerland, Israel, Germany, Czechia, Austria, Italia, Spain, U.K., Holland and all over France.
Press coverage also with czech, german and french TVs, and loads of written press and radios for France, 2 big reportages also are booked on a public TV (for 2 different shows) that broadcast in France and Germany, ARTE. So the message was spread, which is the most important…
Image was really fine, all press showed that demo went really peacefully and happily, and that ravers and squatters were cleanin the floor behind them… really good mood, everyone enjoyed, execpt those who were too deceived by the little amount of people…
S.O.S.:
S.O.S. Party was magic, we grouped on a parking and all go in a big convoy, we invested an old french military base (a big ghost town with all buildings, even a church and a school, all empty, was amazing), abandonned and sold to a private german enterprise. In fact the earth was belongin to the enterprise but the buildings were still the property of french army. This made that it was quite impossible for them to interfere as they needed to have autorisation to interfere from the french governement, from the german company (very hard to reach on the easter week end, which is the most respected week end in the whole world, that’s why we chose this date) and after all that they would have need to convocate a bailiff, to make a constatation and to ask for special police (which are based 200 kms away from the site) as the normal police cannot interfere in such buildings, and of course we were barricaded in the buildings )
We were between 2 and 4 000 people, i would say 5 000 in total for the whole weekend. With 4 Rigs, one with 15KW, on the main floor of the buildin, was the english Ketwork32 with Dissident and a french system Infraktion, the second one with 15KW was a union of german squatters with a french system Systematek, the third one with 10KW was situated on the second floor of the building, it was 3 french sounds from Paris called Buissons Hurlants, Teufanou and my Sound System LaHP (the 3 Systems that organise all the demonstrations in Paris usually) and a fourth one located in the second floor also, from Lyon in France with 5KW called Monster Brau.
The sunday at 19.00 police seized the event, just to make drug test to drivers, and told us we had to leave at 10.00 am on monday morning so we asked people to go out all grouped on the mornin at 10.00 am and to dance on the road with autoradios if they block us (they cannot afford that as it is the easter week end with a lot of traffic on roads). When the french heard that (they had civilain police hided inside the event), they sent the frontier police to take us safe to france at 9.00 am to avoid havin us makin a mess on the roads! )
