Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy

Free music in HBC. My recommendations are Seoul City Suicides and Kachisan. The weather may be rainy though so take an umbrella.

Well aside from the afternoon rain, and overcrowding it was ok. They had like 500000000000 cops lined up in the street to prevent people from partying in the street. What i can't fathom is why the hell they didn't just close down that section of the street? It's only a minor 5-10 minute detour around -- my god.

I thought most of the acts were pretty lame and predictable, but there were a few talented exceptions. Anyway, that festival is a good idea and i hope it gets bigger and better in the years to come.

i went there for a few minutes, was turned off by the over crowdedness and then got more turned off when i saw some drunk dude throw a hula hoop at a bus, laughing and giving hi-5s to his friends and saying "WOOOOO!" the only upside to that night was discovering good beer at craftworks.

I went there around 9.30 and by that time it was just a load of drunk dudes standing on the pavement, while the police kept them out of the road.

Police killed the event by insisting that the road stayed open. Next time the road should be closed so drunken foreingers and Korean women (lets face it the Koreans there were all waygook gfs or Korean gals curious about waygooks) can have fun.

As a resident of HBC all I can say is IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The noise kept me up half the night, dealing with the drunks trying to get home at 9:30 was an adventure to say the least. throw in people using our gates as bathrooms added to the disgust

If it wasnt for the police trying to keep the road open somebody would have been killed. they wont close the road as its a major thoroughfare for 12+ hours.

most people who live here absolutely HATE it, its loud, annoying and filthy, they need to move it, too many people and too small of venues

I brought my male Korean friend so there was at the very least one Korean male. Laughing

Saw alot of guys and gals outside when I was there.
It sucks that people are behaving so badly it becomes tiresome for the residents. Some people always go too far.
Still, it's only twice a year.
