Sorry to be picky but a £10 door tax is not a free event in my book.
I am still pretty hacked off about an english crew charging on the door of a psytrance party on someone else’s [scottish] usual site and ruining it for everyone. :annoyed: The locals and the cops took a very dim view of the punters being charged on the door and the mess left behind as well as the inconsiderate noise level all weekend.

I am also not surprised that psytrance parties are getting the attendance of the police now – it was only a matter of time IMO.
I always get the impression [rightly or wrongly] that psytrancers seem to think the laws dont apply to them for some reason – am I just being unfairly biased or do others get that impression too? [could be I have only run into bait crews after all]

makes me think I was quite lucky then if it was the one sat just gone?

as I desperatly wanted to go to it – as my previous experience with their partys have been good –

as from what I know of the peeps they are usually free and donations for the rig if you want to contribute and always promote clean up as you go – so may be mistaken

but not good either way

indeed, and this is why I’ve stayed away from a lot of the squat partys and wharehouse ones these days unless I know something of the ‘crew’ as I personally find all the gangster stuff that is going with it all too frightening – I know we’ve had similar chats about this but thats why I calmed it down a bit in my early 20’s as it was all just getting too hectic and ‘gang’ like for me – :hopeless:
I like a fluffy chilled out vibe not a watch your back vibe when I’m out –

nice fluffy parties up north, for the mean time anyway…

Well if this the way some parties are gonna go down then i say shut em down, I’m with the OB on this one. Raves are fun an all but when you throw possibilities of gang warfare so to speak and other retarded shit then these parties really shouldn’t be occurring.

You’re there to have fun not worrying about watching your back the whole night! :you_crazy

esp in city / built up areas –

as I’d guess they have better things / crime to be dealing with than shutting down a party, unless something really is amiss

Depends how they perceive the party scene though – it only takes one bad experience to make you question whether its really innocent or not.

The psytrance crew that came and fouled the scottish site for everyone else has left me very cynical about psytrance crews in general. I do wait and see what individual crews do but I tend to have very low expectations in the first place as most of the crews I have encountered are the same.

yeh, I’d not thought that 😉

Not only did they ruin Cammo but they also then went on Radio Scotland discussing free parties for a mini documentary thing they were running. The kindly told the guy “drugs aren’t all raves are about but we never really have a good party without a good drug supply.”

I mean FFS that is not gona win any support….we tried to do a party 3 weeks later that never even got going as the police were in force at the 2 sites we tried before we were even there.
