I think it's great that such events still go on, with a working relationship between both organisers, police and councils.

It's reasonable as it is. Go to an afterparty etc..

was gonna PM you asking if you were gonna be there, but thought it was a bit premature, obviously not :D

what kinda stuff do you reckon the pineapple lot will be playing? out of interest more than anything, also for those asking about afterparty i think DMZ had a post carnival one last year so if they do again it will be a day to remember even more so :D :D :D :D

Standard!

I have a bloody wedding that I can't miss on the Sunday night! So its Carnival then put on a suit and head to Mayfair!

I would rather just chill at carnival and then hit a club!

My family aren't going to be happy when I turn up completely mash up.

The Monday its back to carnival. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

course man i never criticized anything. im from west i been going 2 carnival since i was young and i always enjoy myself there.

all im saying is that it would b even better if it was more like other carnivals around the world which are all day all night affairs.

sometimes the after parties are a pisstake. the 1 at ministry last yr was 25 for entry and dress code. smoking grade on the street in a tracksuit then going home, getting changed etc then goin all the way 2 ministry queing paying 2 get in paying 2 get home kind of kills the vibe 4 me.
