POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by nex on Dec 7, 2009 9:08:25 GMT 1, It was an Urban Art event with more than enough drink & cheer to be had... As such, leave the kids at home so adults can be adults, whatever that may denote... or, if you choose to bring the kids along, deal with it. You knew what you were getting into... It's a Holiday Open House at POW with a new Banksy to be had, for f**ks sake... 
so those scaremongering and criticising need to get a grip

I am not winging, if anyone thinks that it was clear that it was only sweets falling from the pinata then you are sorely wrong. had the russ abbot look a like stood there and said "hitting the pinata is just a bit of fun, sweets will fall, please pass them around so everyone has some, after that we will hold the raffle for the banksy" we would not be typing about the pinata thing like it was irresponsible. saying that it was a fun day out and the security guards should be given credit for being friendly and dealing with the p*ss head, it just could have been a little better organised.

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by curiousgeorge on Dec 7, 2009 10:38:17 GMT 1, I would have taken my son along no problem, obviously with a bit of common sense i would not have had him near the pinata. Had he been bundled aside then my issue would have been with the people that pushed him aside NOT pow
It's POW not Tate/White Cube etc,etc

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by buffin on Dec 7, 2009 10:58:30 GMT 1, Can't believe all the whining going on. Are you all injury compensation lawyers or something? Its an urban art gallery for goodness sake, not the Tate. So that gives it the right from what I have read in the previous posts for people to act like morons and have complete disregard for the safety of others. Get real.
You think the urban art world is the real world? Some of you seem to want to sanitise this scene to the point of death. Perhaps we should start a petition to stop graff artists from painting illegal walls or climbing on high ladders/scaffolding/bridges? How about we force them to do a full risk assessment in triplicate before they do anything?

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by darrenrapley on Dec 7, 2009 11:18:20 GMT 1, Funny - I keep reading threads about how POW are just a business now and have non of the 'grittiness' of the old days and yet as soon as something happens that might be perceived as not 100% safe (although I was there and to be honest it was fine), people start moaning about health and safety issues.

i think you should get a grip about an event where nothing bad actually happened

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by grantb on Dec 7, 2009 11:51:09 GMT 1, can i just say what happens if they put on a show in el salvedor.
youd be thinking about how to get there rather even before thinking that el salvedor is such a dangerous place, more dangerous then getting some big bloke nudging into you trying to pick up a disgusting tomato chill flavoured mexican sweet.
after all what else would you expect from a pinata.

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by adewilliams on Dec 7, 2009 12:56:34 GMT 1, sounds like a boxing day sale at MFI or a Primark handbag sale. I couldn't be arsed with it. Are the majority of people genuine, slightly mad Banksy fans or people that like making an easy £ or two? I say again - sell the prints at market value. Or wrestle for them in a properly refereed ring, in mud with bikinis on. It's the fairest and safest way.

POW 2009 • The Fiesta Resistance, by monkeyballs on Dec 7, 2009 13:26:51 GMT 1, Hey Billysport, just the way you worded it led to my response. Personally if my kid was getting trampled on I would be seething and very likely to start a row, but I guess it was an exaggerated explanation then to empthasise how much people wanted that banksy print, with the focus on a young child?
