BANG FACE 61 - Rave The Whale - Fri 14th Nov 08

[CunningStunt]

I had a brilliant time on Friday and it was really good to meet you all and put faces to names
Even worth the 4hr delayed train journey home at 7am
Although entertaining I'm still not sure what to make of Nastie and the Otto Von Schirach set. I feel like my mind has been slightly warped in some way!

[baldmosher]

Excellent. Thoroughly excellent. I really wished it was time to leave at least three times during the night and I thought "fuck this, need to sit down" but I just changed down a gear and was back up to speed within 45 mins each time

Must say that I appreciated the genius timings of BF sets more than ever, I was really really looking forward to Hidden but stayed downstairs for 20 mins then by the time I came back up he was a bit shit, thankfully only 20 mins more to wait for Dev/Null, who was outstanding. I can't honestly say for sure it was Dev/Null, or Schirach, but you get my point. 20 min changeovers ftw!

Met two random guys on train who were down for Fabric, they were right, Plastician was sick, Otto & Ed Cox were.... entertaining... (thought Cox was excellent fun as well though) and whoever was downstairs around 2am was absolutely mental good.

I'm in two minds about 12th though. My sensible side says "no" but my heart says "YES YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER"

Do iiiiiit... best looking BF lineup for months, I reckon, plus it's the Christmas party. It's going to be beautiful Bangvibes all round!

Good to meet you two on Friday, incidentally!

What actually happened with the cage(s) on the middle floor?

I heard reports of them moving across the room with people in them.

Then came in a saw a mangled pile of metal taped off by security!

[Magma]

That's happened before, but security have never stepped in in the past, so I guess it just got a bit out of control. It is hilarious looking back from the front of room two to see caged ravers slowly inching their way across the floor though!

Security seemed to have a busy night... I hope the guy I saw being led off the dancefloor around 4.30 was ok in the end, he didn't look too healthy/happy.

[laurennoodles]

Yeah people were dancing in the cages which were moving across the dancefloor due to either a)extemely vigorous dancing or b)people pulling them along.
The moving cages was funny, but the toppling cages wasn't, one guy was shaking this cage with a girl in so hard she was bashing against the sides and looked like it was about to fall, and someone else pushed one super hard causing it to whack into me which a)hurt and b) ruined my dance

lots of a's and b's

[ThE99THReDBallooN]

the cages were well funny, altho i nearly got squashed when the security put it bk in the corner.
how funny but ultimatley stupid is the new smoking area!!!
i laughed my ass off when i looked in and saw a restaurant, waving to some bemused people eating was v.funny.
really wanna go to the crimbo one but ahhhhh moneyyyy

[SoloStrike]

The smoking area's been changed again? I liked it best when it was the courtyard style area with the planes. Electrowerkz is mental, so big with so many rooms and passages all over the shop. I wonder what it was built for.

yeah that was the ebst one, now its prob the size of a shed
the courtyard thing is now a restaurant, that place must be sound-proofed to fuck not hear anything from bf

[SoloStrike]

It's a restaurant?! How the fuck does that even work, last time I was in that bit I'm sure the roof was partially exposed to the sky. Must be severe rebuilding, can't imagine people shivering away in the wintery cold waiting for their starters listening to the muffled sound of jungle and ravehorns!
