Party:Off

Last night we tried to go for a party in Clayton Quarry. We managed this for about 10 minutes, the Police already swarming around the top of the road when we arrived. This was fairly unsurprising, as you could hear the bloody thing from the Ring Road.

Let this be a lesson – it was too LOUD. Ok, psytrance sounds much better loud, but if you are trying to have a party bang in the centre of Leeds, a bit of common sense is needed…

I spoke to a fairly friendly (as they go) WPC, who made the perfectly accurate comment: ‘if we’d have had only one or two complaints we’d just have let it lie. How would we have known you were here?’ It seems they’d been coming pretty thick and fast for over an hour…

I’m glad the lads who were chanting ‘Piggy Piggy Pig Pig’ shut sup before they caused a scene. Though I would have found it quite amusing if they’d been arrested. Silly fools. Much as I have little respect for the Police 90% of the time, they have a job to do and they are going to do it. If, by being silly, you give them a chance.

I was hoping the the remnants of Leeds’ party scene was getting an injection of new talent and energy. But it seems they have a lot to learn…
