talking about the ark and stuff got me thinking and remembering..


one time i was dancing like a maniac at the ark [as i was wont to do] and i smelt something burning.. looked around, no-one else seemed to notice and it stopped so i thought no more of it..

i got home and the next day i looked at my shoes [jordan V's with the clear sole] and the bottoms of my shoes were all black! laugh.gif i had vulcanised my soles, ie had hardened the rubber through friction heat.. to this day the rest of the shoes are trashed but the soles haven't worn at all..

...

also at the ark:
i had danced solidly all night from getting there to the last song when my legs started to cramp.. so i bent over to stretch and then my abdominals cramped.. i couldn't move for a good five minutes, going either way would set one or the other off, so i had to stand/crouch there holding onto the frame thing to the left of the stage so i wouldn't fall over biggrin.gif

I did the same to a pair of Jordans.. black... after full on night of dancing.... crazy!!!

enchanted forest 2 cape jarvis.

there was a very narrow roped pathway going from the main 2 arenas uphill to the house arena. bout halfway up there was a small cutoff tree stub. munted ravers left right and center tripping over it all night was so funny seeing them stack it in the dirt. biggrin.gif that rave was so dodgey but thats why it still remains my favourite of all time. no way you could get away it nowadays. too much legality involved now. sad.gif

i can believe no-one had a good experience at a rave.. that just does not make sense!?!

For me, and I suspect others too, not much stands out in our careers as ravers. And the reason......we've been blessed with such interesting rave adventures, where nearly every event is full of good memories. Win X lotto once and it would stand out, wind it every week for 5 years and you would just consider yourself lucky, with maybe only your first few wins standing out smile.gif

Enchanted 2004 - driving out to the dustbowl at 200+kmh's an hour with Matty, Loz and Simone...taking the mini dirt bikes for a burn in the car park, dribbling shit to Jarrod and others all night, giving a free ticket to Doddie.....a girl I didn't think could get any happier LOL

Ark anthems.....wow, just so many old faces. Half our old listeners from the Coast FM Illumination days saying hello. The tunes....F@#* yeah!

Anthems Resurection at St Pauls 04 - meeting TCB and Kate. We dribbled shit from 3am til 11am, before we realised that we didn't have any common friends and we were all strangers LOL

I could go on all night.....nearly every party is full of memories, so it has to be extra exceptional to stand out smile.gif

Here's one of my funnies...

One night, late 2002 early 2003, I was at Planet (Hit Factory DJ Adam, DJ Sam, MC Elvin E). Upstairs wasn't open, but the DJs spotted a couple upstairs, on the side, in FULL VIEW of the dance floor, going for it.

So, what did the DJs do next? you ask... Told the lighting guys, had a spot light shined on them, stopped the music, and announced it over the microphone.

Everyone had a good laugh for about 60 secounds, then the light was turned off and the music resumed

10 minutes later, when most of us had gotten over/forgotten it, the happy couple had finished their deed, and got up to leave and return downstairs. Once again, music off, spotlight on, and this announcement over the Mike

"They're finished!! Give 'em a round of applause!!"

Another outburst of laughter, and a couple of VERY red faces. laugh.gif

Oooo Oooo Another Planet story...

They starting this thing called school disco, you weren'a llowed in unless you were in school uniform, only lasted a few weeks...

Anyway, on there launch night, you were given drink cards which entitled you to 5 free shots, and coz me and my mate new the event co-ordinator we had a stack of them. We were getting those prepacked shots that had a lid on them and chucking them in our bag so we didn't have to go back and forth to the bar.

Anyway, we got absolutely blind drunk, ended up on stage (which was about 6 - 7 foot high) dancing in our school uniforms, and my friend went cunt up off the stage and cracked her head open. An ambulance was called, and being the friend I am, I accompanied her in the ambulance. In the trip all the way from planet to the RAH, I manage to get into a screaming match with the ambo driver coz he wouldn't let me have a sip of his coke... unsure.gif

After waiting in the hospital with my friend for about an hour, I realised we still had heaps of shots in our bags, so started drinking them and feeding them to her... the nurse busted me and I was thrown out of the emergency dept.

Waited in the waiting room until sunrise, when she came out with a few stitches in her head. Went home, crashed, woke up very ill. and she had a headache.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is one of the few reasons why I don't drink in excess anymore.

I once sat on a chair directly after a set just after the crowd had cheered me for my efforts. They were still watching the stage as the next DJ started up and i sat on this chair on the side of the stage that had two of its legs off the stage floor. When i sat down my weight caused the chair to tip off the stage with me on it!

Hurt quite a bit and i was so embarrassed as about 200 ppl saw it

Back in the days of "The Core" a girl called Special K (a different one to the one on anthems, I think) organised a charter coach to Melbourne to go to a rave there (possibly called "Everything starts with an E"). Just before the bus left we found out the party had been cancelled. But we went anyway.

All the way over we partied at every truck stop, plastering them with "Rent A Crowd" posters. Mmm mmm yeah yeah.

We didn't get to Melbourne till well into the next morning, but we didn't go to sleep. After only a hour or so at the hotel we went shopping in the Centre, going to the Daimaru Centre, cos it was new. Ooooh. Then back at the hotel we all got ready and had pre-party parties in each others' rooms (puff puff). Then K had organised us to go to a dance club first. It was slow, and the 40 of us overwhelmed the place. We didn't stay long.

Then we went to an "underground" party organised by the same people who were supposed to be putting on the legal rave. I say "underground", because it was actually "overground" on the first floor of a warehouse in the centre of Melbourne.

It was way underground, but. And way cool. Unfortunately I hadn't had any sleep for over 36 hours. So I when I found a big cushion pile, BANG, I was asleep. Bummer.

But 2 hours later, I was refreshed and up, dancing dancing dancing.
The lighting effect were all home-made but cool. And when the sun came up, the organisers put these big boards over all the windows and we just kept going. Don't know when I got back to the hotel, but everyone was realllly quiet on the way back to Adelaide.

Or was it called 'Everypicture tells a story!' and they never paid for the adverts they purchased in The CORE either?!?

Two weeks ago we were at Hardform, and there was soem very messt people there! I mean... REALLY messy... weren't they Mel?

Anywho, there was this one chick who was dancing in front of the speaker for about 4 hours, and no shit, it looked like she was trying to pull the music out of the speakers.

She was very "intune" with the music.

After having a good old laugh at her expense for quite a while, I ended up having a chat with her in the ladies... she was a really nice person, and very very very messy! But to her credit, she actually asked me if I was laughing at her dancing... I didn't know quite what to say, I felt really bad... and then she said "its Ok mate, I've seen footage of myself dancing, and I had a good old laugh too! But, thats the whole point of raving isn't it? I'm having fun... so who gives a shit what I look like! Glad I can bring entertainment to the party!!!"

Fuckin hats off to her!

dateline: 1992
venue: le rox

just a stock standard night at le rox, when i suddenly had the urge to go pee pee. now anyone who remembers that place, would also recall that the toilets at a certain time of the evening, would start backin up and overflowing. so i decided that i would go outside, and into the carpark and have a squirt there. things were going well, until i went back to le rox, and discovered the line up was MAAAAAAAAAASSIVE....anywho, coincidentally, i had also used that time constructively to imbibe in a few white californian ectstravaganzas - problem now being that there was no way i was going to get back in due to the line, and things were starting to get a little bit warm and fuzzy on a psychological level. anywho, i started feeling pretty good with life, apart from lining up.....this is where it gets wierd - there used to be metal grilles on the windows, and i had my hands on them by this time, when i suddenly realised "hey, my feet aren't on the ground here" which, in my rapidly developing state, was slightly disconcerting. long story short, lined up for around 2 hours, of which 10 minutes were with my feet on the ground, finally got to the front door, my feet hit the ground, i got let in, proceeded up the stairs, lost my footing (cos they were just getting used to the whole being on the ground thing) and rolled down the stairs, even clearing the landing halfway up.............didn't feel a thing tho ;D
lesson learnt?
not even close!!!!!!

LMFAO!

I dont really have a great story, cept one night *which happens pretty frequently* i was pretty well on my way to being very off normality, and i seemed to have the incredible knack of leaning on tables that i thought were secured to the ground but werent so they kept sliding out infront of me and i kept stacking it... was really impressive... not....

or... just walking and stacking it...

or climbing stairs and stacking it...

or standing still and stacking it...

its a bit of a trademark thing... that, and that i cant even stack it elegantly laugh.gif

I remember new years eve party sitting outside on the grass at le rox, some of the guys i were with were very messy indeed. One dude had forgotten to bring his littleVICKs nasal tube with him but managed to score a whole tub of Vicks vapour rub.
Rather than just inhaling it he decided to smear his entire face with the stuff. BOy did that burn & i was larfing so hard at the tears rolling down his face that he thru the jar @ me & it clocked me square in the head!!@@!!!

Didnt feel it at all & we all spent the next 15 minutes rolling around killing ourselves laughing!!

During the legendary "Fruit of the Gods" rave in the Barossa, a friend and I got a bit spiritually enhanced and went for a walk.

After some indeterminate amount of time we climbed up the side of a ridge to get a good vantage of the party down below. The setup was basically a really large tent to the left, then a hundred metre gap, then a big campfire / chill area to the right.

So, when sitting on the hill, you would hear a anthem of the time "take it back to the days of reality" or "here's johhny" etc. and you would see people running from the right to the left so they could go have a dance. Then some time later, people would drift from the left to the right at a much slower pace, back to the campfire.

It was pretty entertaining. There were another group of 3 or 4 people down and to our right on the ridge. They left after a while.

Also, at some time there was a really weird light show coming from the carpark. These headlights kept spinning around and around, or they would move suddenly and stop. Because the carpark was dark, and we were enhanced, it was a great light display.

There was also a guy about 3 metres behind us. Just sitting there, staring at us. We had no idea what he was up to, and it made us a little paranoid after a while. Anyway, at some point dawn started to light up the valley, and we decided to make our way down the ridge.

The guy behind us was still there, so we decided to check it out . He was a fence stump.

On the way back to the car we found out what the headline thing was - some guy had been using the nearby cars as demolition derby practise. About 30 cars were dented and damaged.

I spoke to somebody about it, and he said that some other guys were looking into it.

So, eventually we felt able to drive again, and decided to head home about 8am.

... almost to be run off the road by a very dented old commodore being chased at high speed by about 3 other cars full of pissed off ravers.

We laughed so hard we almost ran off the road ourselves a little later.

Hmmm..... well my only anthems related one was not so long ago- August to be exact wink.gif
I was fairly out of it, went to the toilet, walked out & then walked back into what i thought was the main area- only to find it was all guys who were looking rather embarassed & zipping themselves up rather quickly- me being very slow thought- why are guys dancing with their flys undone?? hehehe- turns out i walked into the guys toilets tongue.gif laugh.gif
My other embarassing story- i had a 3 day lock down (booze up) at a club- tequila being the drink of choice!! it ended at lunch time & being as munted as us girls were we went for a nudie run, at lunch time on a saturday through rundle mall ohmy.gif police were chasing us & we only got caught when i saw my auntie & uncle half way through the mall and stopped for a chat *hangs head in shame*- then i passed out and woke up (with the 3 other girls) in hospital having our stomachs pumped laugh.gif crazy days

My contribution to "Rave' stories is NYE 3 years ago I went to a small outdoor party in a paddock at Mylor (or somewhere...can't remember) and I managed to fall into the river. laugh.gif

I didn't fall in because I was, err, inebriated, but I was waaay too mashed up to get out again, even though the water was only about waist height.

My friends were too mashed to get me out either, although they tried to pull me, so they had to get help, and I spent the rest of the night dancing in sopping wet fluffy fluros.

The party was pretty badly lit and I found out later a couple of sober people had also fallen in wink.gif
