sat to sun
so last nite i was supposed to meet up in Camden with Kaori n her friends but somehow i ended up falling asleep and waking up around 9pm.
didn't make it out at all.
i wanted to as it was the night of the big Tube parties
but now i'm thinking it might've been a good thing to have missed.
Kaori said it was OK at first but she ended up leaving when the evacuation alarms were set off.
Lights and fixtures on the trains were being destroyed and finally the police came.
"Police arrested 17 people and closed six London Underground stations after a party to mark the last day of legal drinking on the tube ended in chaotic scenes.
Four train drivers and three other London Underground staff were assaulted, one police vehicle was damaged and two officers assaulted and another injured.
Witnesses said the stench of alcohol on the network was overpowering and that people were "being sick all over the place". Drunken partygoers began fighting and vomiting as the midnight ban on drinking drew nearer."
