White night

No, the PTV page says "remember to top up your myki." I doubt very much if the inspectors will be out and about & hopefully the gates will be open at major stations.

I'm a bit pissed off that there are lots of rawk bands and a jazz/rnb stage but not much electronic music. I'd love a DJ stage with some sort of technoish beats going on. If you're going run a 7pm - 7am event where you're asking people to avoid alcohol you're pretty much asking them to turn to other substances to get them through the night.

They will proberly be out there just more in a customer service/observation role than a ticket checking role. If they have to intervene they will.

I just had to post this.

lol @ White Night below 40 degrees latitude.

St. Petersburg yes, Melbourne no.

You can't just take any old fad and apply it anywhere you want to.

Melbourne is only 37 deg South.... so yeah.... also we have MUCH better weather than St petersburg, I don't know what your point is....

Just watched a friend of mine in Taxi, was very cool. now to get drunk.

One thing I don't get is the advertising, "a night like no other" except that white night we had a couple of months ago....

JD11 white night means twilight all night because the sun dips just below the horizon. As in bright white sky all night long.

That doesn't mean you can't have a white night festival in the dark, it's just not the same thing.

Oh I see now, I think we had a bit of confusion on the hemispherical thing.

I'd love to see the real deal. People party in the streets all night long and they leave the streetlights off.

 

[FootyJunkie]

No idea what this is but I came in thinking of "White Knight" (a guy who defends chicks on the internet in hope of attaining some poosay)

or someone to bail out North

Went in for the night to take a quick look at the festivities. We then headed into a pub then club.

Took us ten years to start the night off which was not ideal, but finished up alright. Wouldn't recommend.

Yes, did drink tonight/last night. No, no action (almost had Canadians ). And yes, am now sober.

 

[Fevola99]

I didn't go I was busy rooting your mum.

 

[Bluelegs]

It gets better the later it gets once the families go home and the buskers come out; people roaming the streets but no longer packed. That part is awesome

Couldn't think of anything worse than being in the city with thousands of drunk morons -

Last year I ended up briefly heading in after some people at a party earlier in the night suggested I come along...
I rode my bike as far as Swanston and La Trobe St, and pretty much turned around and went home. It all seemed pretty gross to me -

 

[radiojake]

Oh by the way - Earth Hour likes this

People aren't that drunk really. It's too hard to maintain over the night.

 

[Flameboy]

Won't be going again. None of the "exhibitions" were particularly exciting and crowds were insane.

Acid.

 

[nicky]

Yeah mad_monkey, you were supposed to top up your myki.

 

[hamohawk1]

Wasn't that exciting.

Crowds weren't too bad at times but the vibe wasn't that good. I feel to do it right they should have it a few weeks earlier to try and get it a bit warmer. Have some electronic music to create a better vibe. Also the prices for food and drink make the MCG seem like Bali cheapness

 

[Shell]

Jesus, one woman said on AW, it took her 30 minutes to cross the road at Flinders St!

Yeah no thanks, hate crowds. Done NYE in the city twice in my life, this sounds even worse than that.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I kissed a lesbian and her lesbian lover tried to beat me up.

All in all, a good night.
