Warehouse Negativity plus more line-ups 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Firstly we've recieved a lot of reviews of the Warehouse
Project on their listings page, some good and some bad. The bad stuff revolves around the sound and to be fair the boys and girls behind the WHP have held their hands up and said they had problems early on, which have now apparently been fixed. The good stuff? It's the closest thing you'll get to an illegal warehouse rave without having your night interrupted by the riot police.If you've got something to say about the Warehouse Project, add your comments in here.The Warehouse Project has release some details of their final event on New Years Day (The New Years Eve details are still to be announced).Laurent Garnier is headlining (with more DJs to be announced) and tickets are just £15 for the first 500, going up to £17.50.Layo and Bushwacka! have been added to the line-up on December 1st. They join an already packed event: Jeff Mills, James Zabiela, Hybrid Live and Evil 9.Buy Warehouse Project Tickets hereWhathappenedlastnig
69-247 North 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Manchizzle Blog has a well written article about 69-247 North
, a new mag for Manchester.Already the market leader in the midlands, 69 MAGAZINE has finally sunk its claws into Manchester with the official launch and release of the long awaited first issue, set for Wednesday 25th October! This welcome copy will ruffle many feathers within the Manchester media scene and deservingly give the publishing market the longed-for "kick up the ass' it's needed since the demise of City Life!69 started just over seven years ago when Editor and Marketing professional Kevin Urquhart and Designer clothes shop owner Chris Ward put the world to rights over a selection of fine red wines. They wanted a magazine that said something about their life, not the usual mix of pony clubs, heroin addict models or hardcore pseudo German techno mixes of the latest Bryan Adams track. They wanted page after page of wearable fashion, insider information on how to get the best looks, where to get the best deal
Judge 'goes mental' in nightclub 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Judge Jules that is. The 'saviour of hard house slash trance' is going heading to head with Riley & Durrant on Friday November 3rd at Pure. The Printworks based superclub talked (pre-launch) about bringing some big name guests to Manchester, and whilst the club has been delivering the fun factor it's good to see they're pushing the boat out.The whole shebang will be broadcast on Galaxy from 11pm - 2am. The event itself runs 11pm - 5am. £5 before 12, £8 after.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester Read more:Judge

I'm done, son 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's been a fun few years but the Blog Monkey is retiring. I have come into a LOT of money and I'm going to retire somewhere sunny where I can watch SKY all day long.The truth is I dont even remember entering the Spanish Lottery, but low and behold I went and bloody won it. 615,810 euros will be winging their way into my bank account soon, and all I need to do is reply to the 'International Promotion and Prize Department' with my bank details, pin code, home address and cup size.

Warehouse Project: It's Over 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The promoters behind the Manchester WarehouseProject
have announced that they will not be continuing in the Old Brewery after the 2nd of January. "When the Warehouse Project does return in 2007 it will be in a new venue, and in a different format", they say.So there you go. There is less than four weeks to go until the final party, so if you haven't experienced the WHP now is the time.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester
Ithaca Insanity: objections cause blindness. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The whole Church v Ithaca
debate that we started a few weeks ago has blown up. Hiroshima Styley.Manchester City Council's licensing committee have actually ruled in the favour of the small man. Canon Clinch (Church Dude), who lives next door to the half built restaurant-cum-bar-cum-nightclub, didn't fancy being kept awake till 4am every morning with the raucous braying of Manchester's great and good.He took his case to the licensing committee, got a load of signatures and they've kicked Ithaca back into touch. The proposed 4am license has been pushed down to 1am. Which is fair enough, since the venue has been bleating on about being a restaurant. Who wants to eat at 4am? Only me, and I'm weird.ManchesterConfidential's Gordo has put together a piece on this decision, and he's come down hard on the Church. The bar, we're told, wasn't going to open till 4am that often - just for 'visiting performing stars finishing work late in the theatres and arenas'. Kid Creole can get a fou Read more:blindness

Manchester Drivers vs Bus Bollards - The Remix 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Bollards + bus lane + manchester drivers = muchos car damage!Here's a remix of the Manchester Bollard video, which shows drivers spearing their cars whilst trying to get down a bus lane in City Centre Manchester. Then they get out and look all confused, whilst one woman rescues her baby from her husband. Check him out at the end, I can guarantee you he's called Claims Direct with neck pain like that!Meanwhile Manchester Online is reporting that the spikes are in breach of safety guidlines, leading the way for the car's drivers to sue Manchester City Council. Is it right that sneaking down a bus lane results in your car being well and truly bollarded?A leaflet issued to local authorities states that the safety of drivers should take priority over traffic calming measures.The leaflet says: "The system should ensure that bollards cannot rise beneath a vehicle because of the danger this would create. It is better to risk a certain amount of violation rather than put road users at risk." Read more:Drivers
We're #1 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Whoop Whoop.Alexa (part of Amazon now) has us ranked at #1 in the Arts & Entertainment category. We're the 211,512th best website in the world. Alexa's rankings are flawed - which is why people like Hitwise can charge £50,000/year for their much more accurate stats - but hey, #1 is #1.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester

Warning to all promoters 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Let this man into your club/bar at your own peril!Police are set to question Wayne Rooney over an alleged altercation outside Panacea in October. "Shortly after 5.05am on October 15, police received a report that a man had been assaulted on John Dalton Street in Manchester city centre." This isn't the first time Wayne has been involved in a distubance in Manchester, in fact it's not the first time at Panacea either. The Sun reports that Blackburn defender Michael Gray was floored by Wayne in September.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester Read more:promoters

Odder gets Odder 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "Please don't review us tonight" said the diminutive manageress of Odder. Despite the launch last Thursday it seems they've still got a few things to do at the Oxford Road bar, namely the addition of lights and some extra artwork. In the short space of time between Zumbar closing and Odder opening they've managed to change the venue beyond all recognition. Downstairs the bar has been moved to the side, and seating added to provide space for 80 or so people. Deceptively, upstairs is the bigger of the two areas, with a complete gutting of what used to be a nightclub and is now a barspace for another 150 or so people. Whilst downstairs could be described as a little sparse, which we're told will be remedied by additional lights and artwork, upstairs is a hotpot of memorabilia and weirdness. Manageress Megan told us that they stumbled upon the giant vase (6ft high and big enough to fit her in) and the giant lizard at the same time. "It was an impulse buy" she explained. Shopping with O
Double X 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This weekend sees the launch of Planet X at Po Na Na (Resident DJ Xander provides the sounds, hence the weak headline). This four deck event will provide a mixture of funk, hip hop, dancehall and electro beats. If you haven't witnessed Xander down at Romp then you're missing out - he's been a resident at the club from the start (pre-one central days) and alongside Alix Walker they rock it each week.Journey to Planet X takes place at Po Na Na (Charles Street) this Friday 15th December. 10pm - 3am, £5/£4 NUS.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester
If clubbing is dead, it's all YOUR fault. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Two soundbites from the promoters of the Warehouse Project, now entering it's final phase.1. "100,000 people have come through the doors in three months. And we'll be doing it again next year, for sure. ". But will it be in Manchester?2. "It isnt people like us that kill the scene. Its people like you and narrow minded, high brow bullshit." - One poor unfortunate on the Electriks message board gets fingered for ruining Manchester.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester Read more:clubbing
You Tube: Stick em Up 1970-01-01 00:59:59 An offline murder has been solved by an online video. Canadian police posted footage from a security camera on internet video site You Tube after the murder of 22 year old Ryan Milner, who was murder at a 'Sean Price' hip hop concert in November.George Gallow, 24, turned himself in to the Mounties after it became obvious to residents of Hamilton, Southern Canada, that he was the man they were after. The clip, which has now been removed, was viewed by more the 34,000 people. The footage showed people arriving for a Sean Price hip-hop concert last month. Ryan Milner, 22, was knifed to death in a car park after the concert.Whathappenedlastnight guide to Manchester Read more:Stick
Mis-stating the obvious 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Way back in August the Salford Star sent six 'hoodies' into the Lowry to see how long it would be before they got kicked out. It took a whopping two minutes!The S.S. are frothing at the mouth. Why shouldn't six kids wearing hoods (inside) be allowed in to see artwork? Because the Lowry is a bag of shit, and there's a billion things to do that are far more interesting, and this includes kicking a can around the street and eating toast. Granted, it's a great venue for a show, but I've been around the place twice and consider it a big pile of balls. It's the wrong end of Regents Road for me, and on the off chance that I wanted to see something 'arty' I'd head to Urbis. Then if I get bored I can go to the Printworks and watch people fighting.The coffin dodgers who shuffle their way around Manchester ugliest building (I'm on about the Lowry here, not the Urbis. And by Manchester I mean Greater Manchester) would have filled their piss bags had they seen the six 'hoodies' walking
