That i never felt the need to rush to cover anything at this venue

Yes, i was covering this yesterday on the news. Interesting stuff, just goes to show that there is always one crazy person out there. But again, please let me do the reporting. Thanks.

It gives all-age venues and events a bad name. Here we are working so hard to provide safe, well organized raves for the all-age market and then these guys go and organize seedy nights like that.

Thankfully they shut the place down.

We're doing an Audiodreams event at Level 5 (Hallenstein's building) on April 5th. That will be an event worth covering. White Elephant will be there, and it will be a good example of a safe all-age event.

Yup. All the all ages events ive covered have always been run extremely well... This puts a bad light on all the good work others do.
tut tut

Yes on opening night there was lots of teens drinking and it was all taken off them.

How do i know, i was one of the people siezeing it and tipping it out into a drum.

Yep they stuff up over resource concents,
but they can easy fix that.

The event still went aheaD AND THE COPS DID NOT SHOW UP.

As bill said it was a couple of stupid kids,
who did not use their brains.

Enough said i think.

In fact the who she bang generated a whole lot of publicity for the venue, rather than against it, they had a heap of phone calls and texts, asking for information.

Bill goode with his son and his son's mates ( 12 of them in fact) are actually doing a damn good job, considering they have been open for just a month.

I have been down there for a while ( just calling in or doing laser shows etc) every weekend since they have been open and i have not seen anything that would freak the cops out to be honest.

So the whole she bang was nothing but a storm in a tea cup, so all you all age organizers can stop panicking.

Just another point, it was members of the bands that did the posts on bebo, not the club organisers ie bill and his sons etc.

So it is not the seedy joint as the paper made it out to be.

mmm its still not good for other all age events though.
