I would agree with you there that security is a big issue, especially in a town like Luton. And at the first event we were caught unawares as we were expecting 50 people and got 200!! The Exodus parties now are safe and the security presence is there, perhaps we need to make it more apparent as we did before (jackets or some other identifier) so that people can actually see that presence. People need to feel safe.
As for your question on our ‘community’, yes we are still persuing that way of life although things have changed since the 90’s. We are currently fighting Beds County Council in court to keep HAZ Manor so that that we can continue with our projects and self help concepts.
Also, I wouldnt say the beacon got out of control, I would say that some key members of the collective had an unworkable clash of philosophies which resulted in the entire collective splitting, we couldnt agree on a way forward. But i wont get into that here. Its a very long story that I dont want to air on the www!!
Indeed we have learned from our mistakes in the past, thats one of the reasons why this time we are taking things slow on a small scale to begin with.
I appreciate your positive comments and i suggest you come down and meet us at HQ. As I said at the beginning of this thread, the best way to find out where we are going with this is to come down and talk to us yourself.
Our intention is to drive this in a positive direction hopefully with the support of the massive, and to raise awareness on the issues surrounding our culture. Put some conscious thought and purpose back into raving, as opposed to the mindless ketamine fueled madness that I keep seeing at some raves these days!!!
Id love to talk more on this but as i said I dont believe in airing some of these issues online, be good to meet you all sometime, I hope you can make it down.
One Love
Exodus Cru
