it goes without saying that i'm now appealing for DJs and kit :D

I have a bit of both but backups would be just lovely. Bluestreak - can you do it? you were perfect last time :)]

any records or kit can be safely stored at freedom in a locked room.
 
cool :)

we'd ask everyone who can make it to support the LCAP action in hackney at 2pm that day, and see you down at the BBQ afterwards :)

There is also a Conference 09 benefit gig at the cross kings that night, so we'll have a break at 7pm to let people know that's happening. If we still have a lot of people who'd rather stay at Freedom, we'll put another shrimp on the barbie and some tempo on the music.
 
i work till 6 so can't really help with kit but will bring some fierce breaks/techno/electro later if there's space :)

wicked yep :)

know anyone who plays reggae, ska, classic poppy stuff, soul, rock roll, for the 1pm - 7pm slots?

cheers

PS sorry about yesterday! Things got rather on top!
 
don't worry bout yesterday- it was fookin mayhem, it's a wonder i met up with the people i did. :)
 
I love fookin mayhem. I also love the Metro's whimsical take on it

"Cheese rolling and anti war rioting - britains bank holiday"

thats the way to do it!
 
PM'd Bluey and Dub about this, anyone else up for it? I need to tell the blpoke whose dex we're usiung who the DJ's are in advance cos he has legit concerns about his equipment.
 
*polishes halo*

i have an excellent record when it comes to looking after other peoples kit. i think :hmm:
 
this is taking shape no i've got on the blower. We have a cool mobile soundsystem that went down well at the Mayday street party, 6 DJs playing everything from old schol hardcore (guess who!), Dubstep, cool indie goldsmiths record collector type music... stuff.

fixed :)
 
i had a ball- nice one tax :cool:

edit: tip for the future though, if you're going to cook meat don't let a vegan take charge of the barbie ;)
 
that went remarkably well all considered, and for once, i had a really good time all the time - not just at the end. Thank you so much to all the DJ's that was perfect - let me know if you'd ever do it again. Hopefully that space will get roofed soon and we'll have partis there all year; but we've still got the rest of the summer yet to do it as it is.

oh btw £210 was raised for the strikers, which is great cos we charged fuck all for anything really - that's come from people digging in their pockets for a good cause :)

No sodding pics yet as i don't have a camera thanks to a certain group of wankers in hats
 
it was the throwing all the remaining burgers onto 3 foot tall flames i was referring to :D

and you know i'm up for the next time :)
