BIRTHDAY FUNTOPIA 2

my first party...YAY!

Who knew that it'd change my life the way it did.

I know I'll never forget it.

And who could forget WEMF?

Too many memories from too many parties. I'm thankful for each and every one of them. Good and bad. Cause I've learned from each one.

Much love,
Stacey

Hmmmm ... I don't have very many memories to add since I have shared in most of the ones already posted. However, everything that sticks out in my mind either has to do with a particular DJ set, or the endless time I have spent cracking jokes at parties with those people I now consider friends (endless I say!).

Hearing Pete's first set at Hullabaloo and Tommy's first set ever at Uproar were definitely highlights of my year ... mostly because I know that both of them could not have been happier, and because they were actually really good sets.

Birthday Funtopia in general was fantastic ... retiring the silver suits (thank God! I still have mine fermenting in the trunk of my car) ... Jon f*&king Doe!! ... spending the entire night with the future love of my life (no, this is NOT a drug reference ) ... and the many exploits of my short-lived obsession with rental cars.

Watching the sunrise during Madam Zu's set at WEMF ... and going from knowing absolutely nobody at WEMF'98 to spending WEMF'99 with absolutely everybody!

And finally, I will never forget the moment I walked into the Guvermnent for John "OO" Flemming ... it's rare when I can physically feel my jaw drop ... and yeah, I realize it's a CLUB memory, but screw off, alright?!

WOW!
Today I was feeling kind of sad, but now that I have read this thread I am reminded of everything fun that has happened throughout my raving carrer. That you all so much for sharing thouse memories with everyone, It is nice to read a thread that almost brings tears to your eys instead of one were you get mad and out of anger and disagrement you post mean things.

I would like to share with you just three of my favorite times.

1. At my very first part Renagades Aug 8 last year at the hanger, Me and my friend were looking up in the sky sitting outside and she asked me what I was looking at? It was a star and she said she was looking at the same one, the only one in the sky.it was so perfect and this was the first night I had ever done chemicals and we were kind of both having a not so good time but evety time we looked at each other we looked at the star and for some reason I new everything would be okay. Amd it was,

2. At procced with caution! Me and my friend Meliisa dancing on this thing that was hanging from the roof (kind of like a platform thig)Anyways we were dancing there with a bunch of cool people and it was just so amazing looking over everyone and watching the huge crowd. A moment that is so unexplanable!

3. Also at HSP. Dancing with a group of people I did not know and feeling sdo good, and my favorite trax played, Then some guy came up to me and gave me this huge CaNdy cane, and they are my favorite. It was so big I carried it all night. But I did eat about a week later. I wish I remembered his name! Thank you


I have had so many great experiences in the past year and a half that I could not possibly add they all to my list.

Thanks for Listening!

PLUR Hugz to All

The AWC. i love you guys. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-DRIAN????" how did tommy always find us?

Moonshadow- what's this? could i actully like goa? the most magical party i have ever been too. sitting under the tree with my baby, and the sudden burst of "energy" that ensued. meeting Brandy, the girl who knows my soul.

RCMP- saying goodbye to Rachel with all of our friends on stage while subsonic and elixer tore it up. the crying in unison. we await your return sweet'art.

WOW!!!!!

This thread has made me realize just how quickly the past year really went :-)

This year has been a year of memories that will last a lifetime....I used to party a lot, every weekend for almost two years back in 1992-early1994. Then I stopped raving because the scene had blown up and gone downhill, much as people critisize it for nowadays!!

My first party this year after an almost 4 year break without a party was last year's Rewind party....What a night...the warehouse which I remembered from the days when it was also RPM.....It was such a wicked night, I met up with so many people I had never seen in a LOOOOOOOONNNG time....I have so many good memories that start from there...

Then my sis took me to Hulla on Dec. 5, my first hulla-experience was awesome, great vibe, great people and wicked music.....

Next the dream night....DiY NYE-->Luka, Janna, Will, Gollum, Elliott, Stephanie, Pete, Erin, EN and John E you guys are all absolutely amazing people, I am VERY glad to have met you and become friends even if we don't all hang out anymore :-(

To all who read this far that were at DiY NYE I will say to again, thank you all because we only provided the space and the music, you guys MADE the party what it was!!!!

After new years the next big event of the past year would have to be meeting Adrian and consquently meeting Quirks :-)

Next DIY Springroll-again guys from start to finish a blast glad to have been a part :-)

Another fav moment of 1999 for me would have to be the countless HH nights at Waynes that I went to, although the place got pretty sketchy in the middle of the summer, it was great fun in the early days...

Hard Sound's live PA was absolutely AMAZING!! I was sick in bed with pneumonia but I went to the party for that 45 minutes and MAN oh MAN was it worth it!!!

Hulla at the bingo hall was pretty good, Brano' set in the tent was awesome but then Flex had to come on and ruin things hehehe

Run DMC, Rabbit in the Moon, and the Congo Natty Crew made me realize why we need a huge company like Lifeforce in the scene.....

As good as every moment I have mentioned so far...My FAVORITE moment of 1999 would have to be well actually it's a couple of moments from one night.....

ATM when Brano finished and Frisky started to play was the most electrifying moment in my raving career, that and when Jenna first starrted to belt out Heart of Gold!!!!!!!

Finding the secret room at ATM at 4am even thow I was throwing the party it took Capital J and Spinz to find the room and break into it!! hahahaha

All in all it's been a pretty wicked year for all of us and I'm glad my path was led back towards the rave scene and I look forward to the many opportunities to create more memories in the year 2000!!

Peace Out, One Love

Astroboy Out

P.S. there might have to be an addition to this list after Dec.11....but more on that later......eheheheh Frisky, what do you think?

wow! this thread has turned into such a beautiful thing! silver one, saffron, lindser, baby raver and astroboy, your lists brought back so many wonderful memories.
i can't believe i forgot the following!

1. dancing in the rain at the corner of richmond and john at the star wars line up! first to a dj frisky tape, then to nicky blackmarket - while all the other people in line stared! the streets were blocked off for the big premiere (of both the movie and the theatre) so the entire intersection (the actual street) turned into our dance floor and they played our music over the big sound system! "i've been waiting 14 years for this movie! woooohooooo!" (on city tv, no less, thank you *bows*)

2. the email productions barbeque in the alleyway as we camped out overnight to buy the tickets in the first place!

3. dancing in the parking lot to mystical influence on a saturday afternoon for the hmv grand opening. "hey felix, dance for the camera!"

4. the blair witch walk at ebf 1.5!

5. chillin' on the mattresses at resonance 3! and then gollum's after party! "k boy, are you ok?" "hey, if adrian will do it, i guess i will too."

6. pulling off the "triple play" with dj spinz - liquid adrenaline, then off to some small hamilton party (where spinz blew the sound system), then back to toronto for empire 1 year. by the end i was like "no more jungle, make it stop, make it stop!"

7. going to my co-worker's wedding with dj terra (thanks again for that hun). "this is terra, she's a ballet dancer and she spins jungle, er, excuse me, drum 'n bass."

8. getting drunk with e-chick's parents - quite possibly, the coolest parents in the world.

finally, to "princess mononoke" (props to anyone who can figure out who this is - *hint* there are clues in this very thread), your list brought tears to my eyes - for real. you've been a true friend since i met you and you're one of the big reasons why this year has been so special. your opinion means the world to me and you're one of the few people that actually has the power to make me feel bad about myself. (those few times you were mad at me, i felt like shit!) anyway, thanks for the memories and i'm sure we'll share lots more in the years to come. i love you too.

Klubmasta Will

coleridge

In no particular order:

1. July, Max Graham @ Atomic, Ottawa - the greatest set I've heard in my life. 7 hours of incredible magic.

2. That cop bustin' it with glowsticks at Connected

3. Having a rather deep conversation on the state of electronic music with Josh Wink at Syrous.

4. The Jennstar Sunday Boatcruises (the jennstar from Tribe) .... who knew that such a bunch of post-ravers and self-absorbed clubbers could actually have so much fun.

5. Getting a kiss on the cheek from Anne Savage at Sneak's Birthday party while my friends looked on in jealous amazement

6. Sasha and Digweed at the Guvernment ... reminding me about all the reasons why I love the art of the DJ.

7. Icarus, a trance opera. The strangest party I've ever been to.

8. Meeting my stalker on the dance floor of my own party ... and finding out she's incredibly beautiful. Uh oh.

9. Oakenfold's surprise set at Fluid. Ian (Soundstream) and I almost didn't get in. "I don't care who Paul Oakenfold is. We have to maintain the integrity of our club." Ha ha.

10. Tripping and falling head over heals into a group of floor people at Syrous ... I scared them pretty bad

*ack*, i remembered another one - the jeff mills party at industry on january 1 - the day after DIY NYE. it was on the nite of the HUGE snowstorm. first my car got stranded on the way back from richmond hill, so jennstar, her friend and i had to leave my car and take the subway downtown. jeff mills kicked my ass! he made me hear sounds that i have never heard before. afterwards, it was impossible to get a taxi, so everyone from the party trudged up bathurst street together through the snow.

what a nite! thanks, luka, for dragging me out.

I nearly forgot!

- throwing a stapler at will's tv and trashing his apartment how could i forget that... i nearly pulled the fire alarm!

li'l miss sunshine

Its funny 'cause I haven't partied with any of you, but I have so many similar memories.

Here are some of my favourites.....

Robert de la Gauthier at Comfort Zone - The biggest snow storm of the year, blue lightening but not enough to keep up inside. It was like a private party just for us, Robert was even dancing with us! Then digging out Nicks car after it was buried by the snowplow. It only took us an hour!

Ritual with Ritchie Hawtin - Dressing in theme (blue). Making our own area when it got too crowded to dance... "please mr security, we're hot, we'll only stand here for a minute"!

WEMF - chillin' in the RV. Dancing at the Bump ahead booth to Mark EG on Saturday. Watching Danny spin all his vinyl and Tim's too!

Whistle 2 in Jersey - Road Trip!! Culture shock the whole time, I couldn't wait for a Toronto party after that!

Mostly I remember hangin' out with my friends listening to the best music and having the most amazing year.

See you all at Hulla!!

much love

Li'l miss sunshine
