Review of Black Parade - 00's Emo Anthems
it was really fun but to improve you could play more classic emo songs. there were so many the dj missed which would of got everyone up and dancing alot earlier and longer. plus he finishes his set a hour early

Review of Black Parade - 00\'s Emo Anthems
When my friends and I arrived at the venue, one of my friends was refused entry on unreasonable grounds despite having previously purchased a ticket. She was not drunk and was perfectly cooperative at the security and bag search stage. However, despite this, the security guards refused her entry for having "an attitude" despite her not saying anything rude or impolite and her also being perfectly willing to have her bag searched as requested. When we asked to speak to the manager of the premises to gain an explanation as to what exactly had occurred in order to have her entry refused, we had found that he would not speak to us to explain or hear our enquiry. We soon suspected that the refusal was somewhat racially motivated as my friend was the only black person (or one of extremely few) attending the event. This also seemed to be the case as we later witnessed security being more lenient with other attendees acting in exactly the same way that they had accused my friend of acting in. I think that in an O2 Academy event in London this behaviour is despicable and should not be tolerated.
Review of The Smyths - Unite & Takeover
the music was amazing. evening was spoilt by over zealous security who confiscated my camera despite showing them an email from the lead singer about me coming along to take pictures of the band.
