Party Vibe

This october is the 2nd European Social Forum, a huge gathering of activists and representatives of a wide range of social organisations from across Europe and the World. While clearly such events involve a lot of talking (often in circles) about what should be done rather than doing it, a lot of bicaring not to mention spending a lot of money i do think its vaguely worthwhile on the basis that its a recognition that we may be disperse but we are many and though our goals differ we share a common enemy, to move forward we need to come togther.

As freeparty people we are often considered to be outside of such (perhaps more overtly organised) movements – as people that just want to get fucked at the weekend and will do whatever during the week to get there. As you lot know this isnt the case. the act of doing a party is a dissenting activity. we are a powerful and organised movement. ( – name one company or state institution that could get 10,000 people in one place without one bit advertising as we do for teknivals)

I was at the first Social Forum in Paris last year. On the last day
there was a fat demo ending up in a large square with a load of rigs
on trucks and genereally looking like it was gonna kick off but it
stopped at about 11pm. there was a farely lame punk do at a squat on
the ouitskirts but basically fuckall to do as that too ended early. a
proper party was well needed what with 1000s of activists from all
over europe in one place and well up for it.

Basically this is call to see if anything is happening already in connection to the forum or if anyone is up for doing something. It is good to link the movements and show that yeah we are ravers but were not putting up with the global capitalist onslaught either in short it would be good make our presence known by way of solidarity with the resistence, It could also be a fat party/event.

what do you rekon?
