Subversive LA puts on their sunglasses at the 'Tijuana Picnic'
Pre-Party: We met Diana (the organizer) in silverlake, after combing the greater LA area for a mini-pool, which Subversive LA was proud to donate for the picnic! (we also bought a pink ball but forgot to bring the thing, sorry folks).
Arrival: We drove off on another roasting hot day in LA to downtown, eager to paddle around in the mini pools! When we arrived we were a touch weary about the location (downtown during the day is a little 'different' than how it looks during the night!), but it seemed to work out perfect.
Party Scene: There was loads of space for the pools, a great sound system, top DJs and a medium sized, friendly crowd who were all having a great time. We made our way past the grill to the beverage stand. It was well stocked, cheap & drinks were cold, all you could have wanted for a hot day. We then got tucked into some tasty sets by Acid Circus and later Vealchop. The full line up was DJs: ANDREW KELLY, ACID CIRCUS, ZAVIER, VEALCHOP, FRANK FADER, OLIVIA ARTHUR, PLEXOR, SHOCKEY.
Final Word: In all at first we thought the venue looked a bit dubious but once inside and hearing the great music we could have been anywhere. The crowd was friendly and Diana was a real treat to hang out with. The sound system was savage and DJ sets were genius. If we can complain about anything it was the lack of seating (near or in the pools) and not a very big crowd. But in all it was a good day party and cheers for putting it in motion. We hope that Diana organizes another party soon with the same line up but by night.
We enjoyed it!, good day party ****
