“Thought a few peeps might be interested in this – either helping with the planning, or just turning up to party on the night.
Went on the last one and had an absolute blast: hundreds of people taking over a train for a party round the circle line for a couple of laps; loads of decorations, mirror balls, streamers, etc. Commuters were greeted and offered a selection of drinks (with appropriate mixers, of course!) and
nibbles and most joined in the party-spirit, though there were still the odd couple who refused to make eye-contact, therefore this wasn’t really happening…
There was a small sound system in one carriage, which ran some speakers through to another one, too; I was part of the samba band, who had the last carriage, although everyone was joining in with the percussion – about 600 people showed-up. There was even naked pole-dancing, haha.
A bit situationist maybe, but hey – that ain’t necessarily a bad thing…”
Anyway, details below and the Space Hijackers site is here –

Circle Line Party 3 planning meeting
Back by public demand!
Due to conversations with previous CLP planners, and general excitement, it has been decided that it is high time to bust open London Undergrounds codes of conduct once again and reclaim our public transport system.
Incase anyone has forgotten or been living in a vacuum, we have previously held two ‘Underground’ parties on London Transports Circle Line tube. The first in 1999 with around 150 atendees, the second in 2003 with around 600 party goers!
Click below for the report of the last one:

The manifesto for the last party was simple, and something that still stands:
To create an expression of freedom, a protest against the oppressive, repressive, war mongering policies of greedy white men that want to rule the world. An attempt to promote DIY culture in an age of rampant consumerism. A space for interaction between people, away from the clutches of Capitalism, and two fingers up at the constant clampdown on civil liberties and un-commodified fun.
THIS IS NOT JUST OUR PARTY, EVERYONE ON THE TRAIN IS WELCOME AND INVITED.
NO-ONE SHOULD FEEL LEFT OUT OR SCARED, OFFER DRINKS, OFFER SWEETS, GIVE A
WINK AND A SMILE!
The last one was so much work, that our little planning group was exhausted by the end of it, the next one is going to be even bigger, and we are going to need fresh ideas to keep one step ahead.
ANYONE INTERESTED IN HELPING PLAN FOR A CLP3? WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN BREAKING LAWS JUST FINDING GAPS BETWEEN THEM.
MEET: 6.30PM SUNDAY 8TH FEB THE ANGEL PUB, ST GILES HIGH STREET, LONDON
