A Fac-ing Treasure Hunt!

The Hac DJ booth. Oh, if wood could tell a story. All the greats. Jack leads. A mixer. A box of miscallaneous wires. The last record played within its confines (2 copies of Jamiroquai's 'Cosmic Girl', so the legend goes).
And then... well, it got flogged, along with everything else in the building (and a bunch of stuff that wasn't, so we hear). Where did it end up?
A source (who may or may not have owned it once) tells us it was 'last seen on the land behind The Mackintosh Building near The Ritz. It's an 11ft x 18ft shed sat under some blue tarpaulin. Maybe it could be auctioned off to some idiots and you could go out drinking for a few days'.

CAN. YOU. IMAGINE? 


Imagine getting your hands on that thing!  Oh, the things you could do with it...

According to our calculations, that could comfortably hold  a Qualcast Easitrack 320,





The Black and Decker Wm301 Workmate, 

  A Hornby Cornish Pullman train set,





AND a stack of DeConstruction promos that won't shift on eBay.


Somebody find it, before Hooky does! 

[disclaimer: someone was telling us earlier where they'd last seen the DJ booth. If you're looking for some kind of point, perhaps try another post on here]

  1. Not sure I see the point of that post exactly?

  2. The DJ Booth could STILL BE ON A BIT OF WASTE GROUND NEAR THE RITZ.

    Most likely it isn't. (Does every post need a point?)

  3. It's not, it's in Bobby Langley's back garden.

    Next.

    (and is there still ANY waste ground near The Ritz?)

  4. ...and he probably DOES keep his lawnmower in it (not sure about a train set though).

  5. The sound of barrel being scraped IS quite an odd sound.

    Unless its a beer barrel from the hac with a catalogue number, then we're talking business sausages.

  7. I believe a balding iraqi bought it and moved it to Oldham for use as a Happy Mondays themed pigeon loft.

  8. Oh my god I am so glad this blog exists! A lot of my friends constantly go on about the Hacienda and madchester music in general. Yes, I do like the stone roses et el, but it would be nice to listen to some real alternative music-

    what about some santo gold- or is she too alternative (black) for the indie scene? Or what about death from above or they too alternative (if its not daft punk is playing in my house we're not playing it) for the indie scene? You get the picture ect ect.

    And to think I used to go to 5th ave and wallow in it haha. I was 18. Forgive me.:)
