So 12 of us had all booked for the NYE event at the warehouse project....admittedly before the lineup was announced but we assumed it should be decent considering it is NYE after all
Anyhow the lineup was announced and the only person I was interested in was Danny Howard....I was a little disappointed but I thought we will just make the most of it and no doubt enjoy the night anyhow
So arrived at 2030 in a queue of about 30 and waited patiently until 2100 for entry to begin and spot on 2100 we all started to bombard through with our tickets
Now first impressions was the door staff who were all so aggressive and arrogant. Many of us took along masks with us and some went through no bother where as some of us was stopped and had the masks taken away. When politely asked why the LED mask was taken the guy started randomly shouting "You have drugs!" and started shoving my mate through the door??... Any way we didn't let that put a downer on the night and carried on
Inside the venue it was pitch black and we found our self trying to get to grips with the layout
At about 21:30 we made our way to the dance floor of what we discovered was room 2 and this is where it just continued to go down hill
Far too many people!! Literally couldn't dance and people were just bouncing off you or trying to squeeze past. This got annoying after a while as I couldn't connect with the DJ or get into a nice flow so we decided to re-group and move away
At about 2300 we moved into the main room and KIWI was on....anyhow the music was dreadful and literally sounded the same for the complete hour of him being on. Again far to busy you had people standing on your feet, spilling drinks on you, squeezing past or doing that annoying thing where they literally stick to you.
I took my hands and forced a couple off of me yet they ended up stuck to me again and I found myself holding their body weight to prevent me moving forward into the person in front of me
Then came midnight and the countdown and I wasn't excited one bit...didn't even cheer
Then KIWI dropped two George Michael tracks to enter the new year...Now I know it was a tribute but that is the last thing you want to hear to get you dancing!!
By this point everyone was losing each other and being so dark in there you couldn't find anyone and neither contact them due to their being no signal
At this point I just wanted to go home and eventually did half way through Danny Howards set as I just couldn't get into it
To summarise
The sound system is terrible (Stand further than half way back and you hear the music from the other room)
The dance floor is littered with bottles and cans
You clothes will get soaked with beer and water and you will spend your night bumping and holding people
The toilets are disgusting and I feel sorry for the females
It is dark and miserable inside
Majority of people there are just there to take a lot of drugs and not dance. I seen many many people stood like zombies
