Description:
The State Government is trialling a 2am lock out for licensed venues starting next weekend. Here's what we think: This 2am lock out idea sucks the fat one. For starters, Crown is exempt (dude what??), evidence from other cities points to the fact that peeps will be forced to drink more in shorter periods of time then wander the streets like goon bags with legs, where they will be unable to find cabs. We stake our reputation in this town upon places like Pony where you can see amazing acts playing in small venues and this lock out will mess with that culture in a big way. So, no excuses people, join the rest of generation Y at this protest on Friday. If nothing else, it will be awesomely horrendous to see everyone sober in the cruel cruel light of day.
