gmku 06.03.2009 03:59 PM

This goes without saying.

^ Whatevers clever. Just have your party and have fun.

Side note- I just watched a LGBT special on these 'bears', fascinating creatures they are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_community
I also was schooled on 'bumming' and 'shirtlifters'.

OK, well, then, I'll have to reconsider. Do any of them shave?

sarramkrop 06.03.2009 04:12 PM

NO.

Depends on the relationship you have w/ your neighbours... and whether they like being dicks or not.

I know people who used to organise shows in their house. The only time they ever got in trouble with the law was during that one time when they announced it to the neighbours in advance by putting leaflets in their mailboxes... what they were basically doing was giving them a heads up about when to go call the cops.

But in your case with them being students/young people I guess (hope) it should be alright...

I think Porky's, um, got that one licked.

pokkeherrie 06.03.2009 04:20 PM

I knew it would happen.... but still I was too lazy to replace "dicks" by something else.

check out your local laws on noise pollution... here in aus if the cops come back for a third time they can confiscate all your gear... so if you have laws like that you can push it and stop after the second time...

I did one show like that in my porch - summer 2007 - got it all on video... we played 7 songs and that was it, I was afraid as hell that police could come down as wrath... it was about 25 mins of music... 30 attenders... great fun, I have it on video :)

He's not responding. I'm guessing they don't have the Internets in London slammers.

I have called the cops on my own house-persons at 5 in the morning and pretended to be a neighbour when I wanted to sleep and they woudln't STFU. hehe. But, only after we'd stolen the speaker cables(their response was shoving bare wires in their laptop socket--> speakers), told them to turn it down multiple times, etc. Funny thing was, they'd all decided to light up about 4 minutes after I called.


But yes.. as long as you let your neighbours know, and in fact, I'd let the local cop shop know.. telling them you plan on having a 'party', you've let your neighbours know and it shouldn't be too hardcore. If you get in first, you generally wont be told to cool it unless its super late and they are called multiple times. The cops will first ask the caller if THEY have gone and asked the people to turn it down yet, and in most circumstances will tell them to go ask you to stop, before they will come over. Especially if they've already been told about it and they know you've told your neighbours. The last thing they can be f'ked doing on a friday night is going to a house where there is no violence/drugs (hmmmmm )telling people to just go to bed.. there are far more important things to be doing.

I just remembered when my neighbour called the cops on me because I wouldnt let him go under my house to look for his cat at 11pm on a saturday night. Police were not impressed w/him when they eventually showed up an hour and a half or so later.
