Web 2.0
I'm at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco this week. Web 2.0 is an internet 'meme' that emerged a year or so ago. It describes the way that the web is gradually moving away from its current passive, application-led, client-server, one-size-fits-all model, and towards one that is characterized by open standards, participation, creativity, services and personalisation. I'm blogging from the conference, in between schmoozing and queueing up for coffee. Lot's of interesting stuff happening here, and a general feeling of optimism - lots of talk of about a second Internet boom.
It's about time
Matt brought this one to my attention:
"Rave parties or festivals lasting up to four days and involving as many as 500 people able to drink round the clock will be allowed without the public having any right to object under the new Licensing Act, it emerged yesterday."
Good news for Moor Music and, er.... anyone else who wants to organise a 96-hour long piss up.
Maelstrom update
I've managed to find some time to get flyers designed for Maelstrom. They've been sent to the printers and should start appearing around York in a few days. Click here to see what they'll look like. PS the party is three days after my birthday so y'all have to come along and celebrate with me.

Maelstrom
Been wanting to organise a Halloween party for ages and suddenly it's happening. It's at the Judges Lodgings bar on Friday October 28th; we've got the entire bar area and back room, so lots of dry ice is going to be required. The party is fancy dress with a Blade / The Crow theme - so fangs, corpsepaint and lots of black is the order of the day. Music policy will be varied, from house and techno to classic goth and metal. Here's the poster; I'll be putting flyers together this week. Email me if you want to know more.
