Tottenham Court Road,<br />
London, July 1988<br />
I’d heard that a street party might happen<br />
after [London club night] <strong>The</strong> Trip at the<br />
Astoria closed at 3am. So I was thrilled when<br />
this car pulled up with its speakers blaring,<br />
and a few hundred people were suddenly<br />
jumping around, dancing in the street and<br />
on top of the bus shelter, screaming “Street<br />
party!” and “Acieed”. We were right outside<br />
the Dominion <strong>The</strong>atre in the heart of London,<br />
causing a party roadblock. <strong>The</strong> police seemed<br />
to regard it as joie de vivre rather than as<br />
a serious nuisance, but the revellers were<br />
already making their way into a multi-storey<br />
car park below the YMCA, which must have<br />
been pretty freaky for the hapless people<br />
who came to collect their Porsche and found<br />
it surrounded by screaming ravers.<br />
