It'll be very interesting to see if the organisers there have learned the lessons..<BR/><BR/>(Gave you a little mention <A HREF="http://www.sluggerotoole.com/index.php/weblog/comments/beach_party_fun/" REL="nofollow">here</A>, btw)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-1150468602179878122006-06-16T14:36:00.000+00:002006-06-16T14:36:00.000+00:00Glorified Barbeque my arse.

No stewards, a quarter of a million people crunching glass bottles into the beach, rendering parts of it dangerous and unusable for most of the summer, ludicrously inadequate toilet facilities, even more ludicrously inadequate staging and sound system topped off with ridiculous over-hyping and PRing on the part of Norm's management(including a centre spread in a red-top on the day of the party saying "it's the party of the year").<BR/><BR/>Fair enough, it could be done again so much better, but last time it was a fucking disaster, not a "glorified barbecue".<BR/><BR/>I'm not against the parties, mind. It's a shame no one ever mentions the very first Norm beach party, which had similar facilities, yet wasn't advertised much outside the local area and the music press, hence 30-50,000 people having a fantastic time and acting responsibly.<BR/><BR/>You can see where it went wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
