he who scoffed at chats road and lower clapton succumbing to the tide of delification
he will be like that farm house on the M62 which didn't move but the M62 went round it

I remember when Hackney Community College still did things like introductory access courses to carpentry, etc for the unemployed. Don't remember Prince Andrew coming down to check out how that was going...

"innovative shared workspace for fashion and creative professionals"... see also the "Hackney is Friendly" event.
I genuinely can't tell any more whether these are genuine, or parodies.

Good call. The pavements on Church St are too narrow, so they've expanded their territory and are colonizing...

I'd like to think they were parodies, but I have a terrible feeling they're genuine

So, went to that there Electric Daisy Carnival. Was a great jump up to Flux Pavillion, Jaguar Skills, Shy Fx and more.
As a freebie it was effin marvellous, but I was looking at the young punters there and wondering about the way they were treated by the organisers. First off was the one and a half hours it took to get on site from the tube station. Huge queues, ridiculous entry requirements (everyone had to have photo id as well as tickets, lucky we happened to have ours on us).
I was at some of the Olympic events at the park and thought it was a really lovely space, with lots of water and greenery. It's gotten really run-down since then. It's basically a big building site, and they had to lay loads of astroturf everywhere, quite grim really. There were little bottles of Carlsburg on sale - they were £5. There were some areas with flowery names and descriptions - The Cosmic Meadow (it was a tent), The Neon Garden (it was a tent), The Bass Pod (it was a... you can probably guess). There was a funfare, so we wandered over to investigate the bungie pod ride - it was £25 per person. I'm just going to write that out again for clarity - the fairground ride was TWENTY FIVE POUNDS per person.
Anyways, as I say, I had a great old time dancing around like a loon. The smuggled-in voddy helped. But screw the latest generation of soulless corporate festivals for a lark.

Did you get down there Rutita? Know @ska invita is down for Solution Sound and if I hadn't been spending the day with my folks, I'd been there like a shot!

Hey Scaly, sounds like you're local by the quick return to the computer from closedown!! Just got back myself having risked life and limb with some rum-fuelled bicycle drink driving.
2nd year at this, what a great day in the sun, great carnival warmup, 6pm finish is painful though. Mark @ Solution play a much broader selection, not the usual dubwise heavy selection, plays a lot more JA selection than most sounds - if you think about it, most dub sounds dont play JA production post 1984 - Solution concentrate on JA production old and new is my experience of it.
Some firing microphone performances today I thought, and ive got about 4 ID requests scribbled down here
Have to meet up next year Scaly for sure - my mates all went down to Lambeth County Fair - IMO this blows that whole a-fair out the water
Were you up the front or at the back?
please quote or tag me in response or ill forget to look here for a reply

Yes, definitely, especially the feller in the blue shirt, shiny bald heed and shades, he had a sweet singing voice too.Some firing microphone performances today I thought, and ive got about 4 ID requests scribbled down here
We were at the back by the big speaker stack, to the left by the wall (cos it was in the shade!) - where were you? Yes, we should try to meet up next time
(I'm not going to suggest meeting at their Carnival spot- that way madness lies )Similar threads
