"FENCE JUMPING IS BAD M'KAY"
Date: 2012-10-17
This night was destined to descend into anarchy and it achieved nothing less. Local DJs dealt with the eager early crowds and during the wait for Afrojack my friends and I came up with a rather dandy plan. Tickets were handed out two nights before the show for no charge as a promotional deal and many of those people weren't going to attend, so they gave away their tickets for an astonishingly low, mind blowing price.
Our entrepreneurial brains were tingling as we sensed a business venture waiting to be scooped. Our plan was as follows: buy a ticket at R60, walk around for 20 minutes looking for a buyer, sell the ticket back for R150, and then repeat. This way we made R90 for every unassuming customer we found. After all our tickets were sold we realised that we had none left for ourselves and we were outside the gates of the party. When the prospect of having to watch the festivities from the wrong side of the fence dawned on us we panicked and another slightly less genius idea came to our minds.
"Guys lets jump the fence?" were the words that would doom us in the end, more for one of us than the others. We used our mad ninja skills to scale the dangerously rugged, spiked fence. By the time we had realised it was a bad idea to risk the security guard infested perimeter of the Wavehouse, we were already half way over the fence. As we turned back the branch my friend was using to support himself on the fence snapped and he fell backwards onto the spikes on the fence.
What seemed like a night for the party records, turned out to be a night for the hospital records? But at the end of the night everyone was OK and after a few stitches the injured were party-ready once again.
