Anyone doing the FREE Unity festival this Saturday in Leeds?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

What with all this talk of meet ups, drinking and gigs I though I'd see if anyone was up for Unity Day on Hyde Park in Leeds this Saturday?

Nothing corporate, indeed Leeds City Council shut it down early last year more out of pique at their lack of involvement than anything else!

I can't promise a surprise set by Von but basically, for those who've never been to one, it's Leeds 6 rising and reverberating for a day long anti-racism / tolerance festival which basically involves drinking, lying around / dancing taking th(in)gs various bands / sound systems / beer tents and stuff on offer.

I'll be there with a friendly bunch of mixed gender alcoholics. Anyone up for joining us?
