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?
