Party Vibe

Its not that much of a “free party” when essentially the event costs are being passed back to the wider community, and worse still when the people appear not even to come from that area….one of the reasons why the backlash (in the form of confiscations, riot cops shutting down events) is getting progressively worse.

I must point out that the name “free party” was coined to mean not a “pay party” and certainly doesn’t mean no costs are incurred.

“Are you local?”
I know we are not a free country in every sense but it’s a poor show from party people when we can’t go to other areas because we are “not LOCAL”.
As to costs being passed back to the wider community that’s the way a country works and when people from Devon go else where the wider community picks up the cost.

Wot is “LOCAL” your village, your county, your region, it’s all too provincial for me. I didn’t go to this party but I would not ask locals as a rule nor would I expect anyone to ask me “when” they party in my local area. I can understand the aristocracy not wanting me on “their land” or to move from my village without permission but to get this from the peasantry is outrageous unless of course they have readily accepted their feudal positions.
I read this local rig was invited to London but who had the right to invite them without asking the rest of London and who down in the Devon sticks had the right to give permission to party in that area, its all to silly for words really and they need to get out more and stop breeding with cousins 😉

in the southwest we have a stong tradition (and a good one IMO) of communicating with each other so that sites don’t get overused, parties don’t overlap by being too close together etc etc

in this way we’ve had a reasonable amount of success in keeping our rigs out of the hands of the law and keeping locals on side to a degree

there’s no question of ‘permission’, more like, understandings

all i was saying is bring a trowel , so there’s no need to get over heated

I am a bit heated about this “its my area” or “regon” ie “we in the southwest” I got heated about the duke of bedford getting exodus to tell other rigs not to party in his area and if he had been successfull he would of tried it in your area because he owns a lot of devon too.

I find this hard to believe this quote

in the southwest we have a stong tradition (and a good one IMO) of communicating with each other

my first post wasnt at you particular or even this thread alone but if your statement is true, these quotes from you seem to dissagree

there are tons of good sites for parties in Devon… but it’s becoming harder and harder

many sites have been abused

and

there were a bunch of parties along the north coast of the peninsula this weekend

(fug nose why we couldn’t get them all together… let’s talk in future)

how they behaved at the party is not my point, how long they stayed or where they shit is not my point, I wasnt there so cant comment. I can comment on the press who often say rubbish, and even needles are left in large numbers and I know in all the articals I have checked out they have lied or mislead by using hearsay.

I find it hard to believe that if a rig “in the southwest” wants to do a party all other rigs are “comunicated with” and an understanding is reached with several hundred people in the know to where and when a party will happen, anyway your above statements show different.

instead of moaning about non locals coming down there univited if

there are tons of good sites for parties in Devon..

why arent you inviting rigs down there. oh yeah you will have to seek out all the southwest rigs and get an “understanding”.
southwest rigs get invited up to the southeast and how do you expect whoever invites you to get an “understanding” from the hundreds of rigs around.

with the best will in the world we cannot communicate between rigs as you say, I wish we could but the scene is underground and if we were that organized it would be our downfall IMO.

upseting some locals is par for the course, its not hard, leaving your reservation is enough to upset some country people and joining with them in your protests, hmmmmm well I’ll say no more at the moment.

I think there is a better way but I’ll not say in the open.

globalloon the southwest is a bit bigger than two counties and I find it hard to believe that if one of your 8 rigs want to do a party they all contact each other when they want to party but if you say so. how do you manage with differences of opinon are you a democracy, if you have a difference of opinion, do you go on a majority or does it have to be unanomous. and how come there were many partys down the north coast and you didnt communicate or that many sites have been abused or is this being done by outsiders possible somerset, dorset, avon hampshire and wiltshire all in the southwest region. or is it just us southeasterners that consider the whole country ours. 🙂

if we ar not talking about local rigs and outsiders from other regions I am now confuzed.
