My Trading Places 8 lomo snaps can only be described as questionable at best. Birthday ladies you looked AMAZING.  Birthday boy Dels 09 for the taking. Biz and Acyde played nothing but GOOD music (Afican jams included).

If you were inside, outside, at home or couldn’t give a shit…

UNTIL NEXT TIME…

The last picture is probably one of the saddest things i’ve ever seen (slight exaggeration). It is most certainly photographic evidence of what drink upon drunk will do to you. Shout out to all my teetotalers who witnessed the rest of us deteriorate. From Brits parties earlier in the week to a Trading Places round off … many feet and many heads were hurting.

Next month be ready.

    I love how you guys posted over the original post :)
    The truth hurts and it kills you to listen…
    THE ORIGINAL POST IS ON THE SECOND PAGE PEOPLE. CHECK IT OUT
    Here is what i thought (again)
    PEOPLE……

    I don’t care who goes to a party or who the party is aimed at or what leggings people are wearing etc. I’m there to do me, have a jokes time and listen to sick music.

    What i do care about is turning up and being told the queue i’m in is for, and i quote – “people who know the girl on the door!”. In all my 24 years, i have never heard anything so ridiculous. What does that even mean? I saw a stream of people arrive and saunter in, with the girl on the door showing a blatant disregard for the QUEUEING crowd. That was far from cool.

    Furthermore, no announcement was made as to when the doors would shut. It’s polite to let the punters know when the doors would shut, taking in to consideration the length of the queue. Instead, the doors were shut abruptly and everyone told to call it a night.

    I had to laugh at SLICKS’S comment about the failed grime emcee though, hahaha. Good spot!
    I also heard kodjoe (and i use the term loosely) “the comedian”, refused to have his picture taken! talk about delusions of grandeur. I swear my man was at the door trying to text/call someone inside and make eye contact with someone on the door! (you know them one innit). I like that your’e doing your thing an all but…. YOU ARE NOT THAT GUY!

    Trading places need to trade some courtesy and common decency with someone or the people will vote with their feet. The people have spoken….

    It’s what ATCN always do. Don’t believe their bullshit about it being a so-called “open” forum! Unless you’re praising them, your comment will eventually be deleted — regardless of how ‘constructive’ your words may be. Sunil, the little wanker wannabe internet policeman (who Acyde and Reg both refer to as a “paki” behind his back) will now block your IP address from posting a comment, or it will be awaiting “moderation” for about a fortnight! Does that stupid midget prick not realize that you can just post from another computer!?
    Bottom line: The truth is something these fucks can’t handle. Word to Jack Nicholson. (This comment will be deleted by 5pm! Watch!)

    Yera- your comments are still on the TP 8 Blog. We try to regenerate with new content on a daily basis, which is why that post has now gone onto the second page. Nothing has been deleted or ‘hidden’.

    Anonymous- Making faceless accusations of racism is not ‘constructive’. If you are that concerned that about the comments you have supposedly heard, then I suggest you contact Sunil directly and identifiably, so he can decide whether the information you claim to have is worth acting on. Until then, accept that your comments will probably, and justifiably, be deleted.

    Fair enough there’s always perks of having freinds in high places to get prioirty as with any rave but the que for “guestlist” was ridiculous!!! I didnt know TP has blown up that big!? But they should just call it the commoners que – the fact is most of the punters in the que are those who follow this blog site and who comment when needed and who want to get involved!

    I have to say that for an inclusive open forum/blog for arty people and those who appreciate the arts – you are pretty damn exclusive when it comes to the world outisde this blog. I wouldnt dare breathe too near you incase you thought I was tryna beg you off. Trading places 1-6 were really decent parties – I was refreshed by the ammount of cool, fun people who werent just there to hold up the wall -coz thats what I come out to do, dance and have fun! Unfortunately though it seems all good things come to and end – “can anyone say Aroof!?”

    I dont think it has anything to do with Grime Emcees its just a a few pricks who come out with their fight face on and dont know that their actions effect everyone!
    As for Patricia the girl working the door, for the amount of people she had to handle ALONE she did a good job! but get her some help- Hire me I’ll work with her and avoid the pavement traffic! It was a disgrace to stand and wait for over 45mins for “Gesutlist” to get in while people who knew somone or were on the “special”guestlist just swanned in at 11pm with no regard for those who turned up at 10:15 (me and my girls) on time and ready to rave! I say “special” coz i felt so unspecial as a cosummer of your blog site!

    Once inside, it was a dope spot to be and I had fun as usual. But the fight did kill my joy and I went home with my feet intact!

    roll on TP 9!
