Does anyone know anything about a follow up NumbersxSwamp night? Saw a couple of people talking about it on twitter and facebook but i can't see them doing it for all 15,000 :?

I got on the boat fairly early at about 8 and had a really good time until the music stopped. Onemans vinyl set was amazing and loefah and boddika were sick too. Soundsystem in the boilerroom part of the boat was hefty. Everything was really good and then it all stopped and I went outside and saw hundreds of police, everyone on the boat was oblivious to what was going on outside. I had a pretty good Bloc experience, judging by some stories I've been reading some people had an awful night.

Went to the Jaques Greene, Martyn, Actress night in Peckham on the saturday which was really good apart from the sweat dripping from the ceiling every 10 seconds, was literally the hottest club ever.

I spoke to jackmaster right after we got kicked off the boat, he was fuming but said that there would definitely be another boat party soon. not sure on details though.

Pleasure Gardens has gone down the pan now too because nobody's been going.

Seems like this might be the only major fail of the Olympics organisation!

I am not surprised this has happened, the creative director resigned a few days ago, she said something like "the venue is not taking the direction I had envisioned".
