I ended up feeling that it wasn't a particularly inclusive community event, to be honest.But we couldn't be bothered either...
The Albert wasn't "officially" part of Splash, btw.Erm... Well I was there (admittedly most of the time out the back in the Albert and it was packed on coldharbour from what i could see. A bit later on that is.
I wasn't sure about that either,the poems were ok but it was a shock to have someone trying to flog me a book,they weren't agressive about it though.Erm...

Very cool vibe in the albert too.. lotsa old faces.
Not so sure about the old rasta geezer out in the garden tho who read a coupla poems about stephen lawrence then shamelessly said '£3' at the end and started hawking his book around. Oh and Aeon. You're a fucking dick.
I think it's turning into the Blacker Dread day.The Albert wasn't "officially" part of Splash, btw.
They've really had it bad with the weather these last... three years, if I remember correctly. Might have something to do with the name!
i went for an hour or two earlier and had a great time - there was two or three sounds systems pretty packed with people. admittedly the busiest one was under the bridge in pope's road away from the rain! i reckon if it had been sunny it would have been totally packed and a wicked little party, shame about the weather really. i'd say it was fairly busy between about 6pm and 8pm (when it ended) - despite the rain. There were a few coppers about on every corner but not loads - and they didn't seem to mind people smoking puff and drunkenly riding bicycles around!
i hope they do it again next year - how often do we get the streets sealed off to cars and the opportunity to smoke, drink, dance in the streets, choose between 6 fat sound systems and generally lark it up with our neighbours, right in the middle of brixton? i had fun
