Tsunami – Limelight Mike McGuire (Juno Reactor)
First Party: Erek T.
Vladimir at tempest writes: I talked to John-Emanuel after the last Tsunami party and he said that the show in question will actually be Mike Maguire alone playing a DJ set. None of the other JR members are going to be there (and remember, Juno is a rather large band with live instruments, percussion, dancers, etc. etc.) I am opting for Orbital at Hammerstein Ballroom on the same night.

Excellent gathering! Dear Brainmachiners, What a wonderful group of people at the outlaw underneath the east part of the GW Bridge this last Friday. That was my first time ever, and being out in nature – even in Manhattan!?! – is 100% different from being in a club. No time restrictions, no security – there’s no justice, it’s Just Us. I had a chance to talk to just about everybody, and ecstatic wanderers had chances to go behind bushes and stroke each other. It began to feel like a big mind orgy. The view of the river was beautiful. We even had a chance to put up some trance graffiti. Thanks Max for the party, the Russians are a welcome addition, Thanks George for the bananas, and I think Matthew Magic’s set was the best ever. It felt tribal, it felt like an Archaic mini-Revival, I felt the love. Even a couple of locals came out and shared their spliffs. From now on, this is my scene. I finally felt at home. I used to be hardcore into anarchism, and this is it. In practice, it is real, real, real. It’s the closest we NYers come to Burning Man, which is pretty much the ideal ideal. For those of you who have never been, you are missing a lot. Keep an eye on these emails for future gatherings, as it ain’t ever going on the site! And I slept for 20 hours afterwards. BOM Jeff PS Here’s a good MP3 file from xdude (be sure yu have an MP3 player):

PSS There is an almost sensual longing for communion with others who have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships of those engaged in the furthering of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe. Back to work %-)
Yeah, we were both there haha. From Hommage2p5 at aol Jeff- you said the outlaw on Friday was under the east part of the GW bridge; I was also at an outlaw on Friday, but it was under the cross Bronx expressway (which is attached to the gw). Is that the one you’re talking about or was there another one actually under the bridge, where the historic little red lighthouse is? At the one I was at the music didn’t start till about 3:30 when we finally borrowed electricity from a construction crew working on the expressway, but it did fit your description otherwise. -Rich Yes, one and the same. Boy was that fucker hard to find!!! Esp. if we started early heh heh. The email I sent had a pretty good map. It can still be found at: This info is available on the web at party.maxf.net

Woodstock ’99

July 23 Friday
Bridge Party Paradox/SubtleChaos
YES!!!! A trance outlaw this Friday!!! The party is the best place I’ve been to in NYC. You must check it out. Be patient if it takes a while for their generator to get running. It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and the Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5-minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved road that runs along the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there has been NO CRIME EVER at these parties [shouldn’t have said that, 2 people got assaulted see below – ed], thanks to the Israelis %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes, and 5HTP and water. Hey all! Happy to bring you this info: this Friday Paradox is organizing a party under the bridge, (just to blend something in, with SubtleChaos already thinking to move in under there 🙂 The party will start at midnight and will go on till 9:00 am or so, at that point everybody will be invited to go to the swimming pool in the area -(???)
DJ line-up:
12 – 2 Severyn Synthetic Sadhus, NYC
2 – 5 Illusion Paradox, NYC 7’s
5 – 8 MD4 Phonokol, Israel
Both, the party and the pool are free, water and chai will be sold (unlike at our parties – it’s free 🙂 For those of you that still dont know how to get there – e-mail me for directions or any other info: rhinoman21 at yahoo Hope to see you all! Boom aleks
Bridge Trance Review
Before you read the rest of this, I want you to know there were a lot of people there it was chaotic and free. Most people enjoyed themselves. This is however real life and things will happen. As we leave the clubs behind we are in a true simulation of anarchism in a pure form, a large community of 200 or 300 people that fulfill all functions of what an event would normally fulfill, such as maintenance, refreshments, or security. Today we’ll start with the last one. A quiet older Israeli given to bouts of deeply contemplative 20 hour esoteric PIKHAL alchemy was jumped by a wandering gang of street kids on the very edge of the outlaw party. We helped him to the hospital. He’s going to be OK, stitches and some broken bones. I’m sorry, but I feel responsible to let this information out, not to ruin your natural high, but because I ended up knowing Eddie from before and he is a very kind man. This is the first time violence has ever happened at a trance, and it pretty much sucked the vibe right out. As his roommate/friend said when looking for him “Where are the children???” Many thanks to the friends who helped Eddie in his time of crisis, some of you were invaluable, and this event underscores the chaotic environment that *that* was last night, and of one random group encountering ceremonies of another tribe. And the sparks that fly when we are on our own. As movements build and mature these random chaotic situations will have to be dealt with and prevented in the future. I can’t help but feel responsible, but I reason that no one with email would beat somebody up, kind of like the old adage that no wars have ever been fought between two countries that both have a McDonald’s; however, Serbia just proved that wrong. So I screen now new members, just to be sure. Or the trance graffiti that had been painted over… oh, the mind was racing, flipping out candy to a lost comrade to feel the hurt of a good man. I’m pretty sure it was just random people walking by, though. It was the first time anything like that happened that anybody remembers. Yet of course the trances don’t exactly go away but will continue, but people now will occasionally patrol the park, myself included. Kind of like security at Burning Man, the last line before police. And if you do go, expect a completely different vibe in a hidden wilderness park 5 minutes walk from the street but a world apart from Manhattan. Just do not wander out in the middle of the night by yourself to a remote area. PLUR shankar Jeff
We will form a patrol volunteer group with head-mounted flashlights (one over each ear) at the Bridge parties in NYC. 2 hour shifts, must be medium to large-sized male, to patrol the park. Walkie talkies provided. Volunteers email No formal “Guardian Angel” uniform, just need to know. No formal “Trance Ranger” name. Speed freaks need not apply, no wait, take that back. I have 2 Motorola walkie talkies and a cell phone. Let’s stalk about this further. In a message dated 7/26/99 AM, rack37 at gigfoot writes: The patrol idea is a very good one but I question the effect of randomly walking around. Perhaps checkpoints would be better. Do you have any maps or layouts of the park? (Including space under both bridges and in between. People who know the layout tend to wander) BOM Rack
UPDATE: the injured Israeli is doing OK. He had been in the hospital 5 days after the raver/BTS(?) attack. The last time I saw him he was smoking hydro and smiling ear to ear. Curiously, they learned English by listening to Roger Waters albums. I guess it’s the 24-7 Vietnam antiwar culture. However you want to approach the Last Days, Bible wise, the Israelis are our guests and we Americans should keep an eye out for them. We Christians are innately connected to Judaism.

Drew Barrymore was in the house. Apparently, you can wear a funny wig, but you still have to show your ID at the door. I didn’t notice her, but I probably wouldn’t have anyway. I’m just glad she didn’t start any fires with her mind. It was hot enough as it was. On a related note, John is telling me how Winona Ryder was at Tsunami for both RTTS2 and Growling Mad Scientists in November. Winona Ryder!! I’m shocked I didn’t notice her. What I wouldn’t do to get her dressed like a duck 😉

Tsunami
What’s goin’ onnnnnn From brainmachines listmembers: I heard a rumor that last Friday was the last time Tsunami was going to be held at Vinyl (and this would seem to be reinforced by the fact that there were NO flyers on the way out. Does anyone know if the rumors are true, and, if so, where Tsunami is moving to? I heard a rumor that Tsunami was dead – no more parties!!! Say it ain’t so! I know that Time Out doesn’t have it listed this Friday – I was so excited. Pez and I took a weekend off to rest and recoup after the whole mess with waterfront and I was really lookin’ forward to tomorrow night. I know that Paul Van Dyk is at Twilo – but it’s at Twilo and Twilo has really started to SUCK! (or at least it has the last 3 times I went) The crowd on PVD night has just gotten WAY to big and there aren’t any ravers left at it because of the guidos working the door (“you think your gonna get in with those baggy pants – sorry, not tonight”) That’s Bullsh*t! I too heard that rumor. Yes, that does suck, with the ole biweekly at Tsunami MIA there’s no reliable place for an enlightened candy raver So, know of any good parties? And do you know what’s goin’ on with Tsunami? I’ll be out this weekend. San Francisco.

I proceeded to go to a business meeting in Marin, north of San Francisco, where I had sex with 2 different girls at the office, and they found out much later. I really, really liked one of them, but I blew it.

Friends Camping – Jeff, James, Thor, Cliff, Yuri, Dhia
There’s a nice trance forest gathering 90 minutes north of the city. If anybody has a car(!) I can compensate with guidance and a tent. It will be small and the vibe will be intimate and “chaotic good.” Think hackers with walkie talkies and communal bananas. 🙂 NOT like wood$tock, BTW. Call me at 445-0364 if you’re interested in camping in a wooded area with trance playing all night.)

This will be a weird mix. Part of it will be free Israeli desert trancers and part of it will be random NYC tourists. Expect a vibe conflict of alcohol drinkers from say, Dublin, and an assortment of hallucinating global trance people from Israel, Russia, and Sweden. And about 20% American (Limelight will up that to about 45%, hence the potential vibe deflation) There will also be some esoteric French trance people. As it is in a deconsecrated Episcopalian church, there will be plenty of mixed metaphors, alchemically trancemitting the message from the Holy Land. Christians beware. But I think it is good to mix it up, that’s what the city-state of New York is all about. The NY Times is doing a story on the “scene,” BTW. Let’s help spread the word about this positive, life-affirming movement. Sure, some people are smoking marijuana etc, but the net NET is a gentler kind of scene where people are eager to meet other intelligent people. I’ll take that over a mob of desperate drinkers any day.

Christopher Lawrence at Sound Factory
Christopher Lawrence Friday!! Dear Abby, Dmitri would love To See Bea. What are you gonna do? I know it is heresy to mention attending something on a TSUNAMI night, but infected Fungi notwithstanding I dare any of you crunchy trance trustafarians to shake a diDJideroo at Christopher Lawrence from L.A., IMO the best trance DJ in the U.S. I was walking home tonight from a protracted Kinduced haze of rainy clubs and such when I saw a wet flyer on the sidewalk (face down if you have to know) for Sound Factory Fridays with Mr. Lawrence billed for tomorrow. Everything he plays is all good. Trance techno fusion. But…. the crowd will suck, i.e. they will all be mutant ravers from the inner city an outer boros and not Jerusalem or Tel Aviv 😀 Too bad it wasn’t billed for Saturday, when I dread we’ll be dosed with another idiot at Limelight putting in Paul Oakenfold’s “Tranceport” CD. So many times you can get in a mode, like sticking your head in a toilet getting a swirly and when your head is in, and the water is swirling around, there’s no way to notice what OTHER people in OTHER bathroom stalls are doing. And speaking of the scatological, when is John Emmanuel going to stop being his own worst enema by booking Tsuyoshi at Twilo the same night as his Vinyl party hmmmmmmmm? I expect an answer. But I still don’t know which toilet bowl I will choose. Oh yeah – 🙂 the tree. Naaa(m)asty, Machinelf

Save the Date I know…. I know…. the Tunnel!!! But…. Gatien’s in jail and we’re running rampant and amok this coming Friday we are going to remake it with our own brainmachines private room, with Chris Decker from Return to the Source, Terra Firma, and Union Jack playing on the main floor. An very impressive lineup. Sta tuned for an email within the next two days RE: getting on a reduced list. “The party will be 80% legal, the remainder stacked floor to ceiling with bottles of K.”
Update: ” jeff AmthYST Friday moved/canceled The trance party at Tunnel Friday is canceled. I don’t know the details, but I won’t be involved at this point. They’re trying to move it to Speeed, which I’m sure will bend. That will be interesting if they can pull it off. I bet a lot of people have purchased tickets already, and they would get in first. Even if it works, I wonder if the rooftop will be unusable b/c of rain. What a mess. We’ll see. Infoline (212) 560-5678 If you forwarded this to anyone, be sure to repeat with this one. Bridge party, anyone!?!
Update 2: weather looks good. speeed might work, with its huge roof. but I just heard of a 48 hour party underneath the GWbridge. Word! More to come later today.
Update 3: OK. The trance DJs that were marooned from Tunnel/Speeed will play at the outlaw tonight. Union Jack will play at VIP Club, yessiree the strip joint, tomorrow night.
The Amethyst party with Union Jack that ended up at the VIP club on Saturday was a train wreck that ended not with a bang but a whimper.
2020 Note: the organizer was dealing with MDMA charges in Long Island.

Ravertoys.com has a very impressive setup. Their web site is ravertoys. Brandy is from Lake Livingston, Texas, near where I grew up in Conroe.

If the weather will stay somewhat warm – this is not the last one… Bom-bom aleks at subtle chaos It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and he Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5-minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. & St. Nichols. Walk east. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved pedestrian paved path that runs next to the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there are a lot of good people around %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water. Look for the flashing glasses:)

Gaian Mind – Banco De Gaia/Chrisbo Philadelphia, USA
I went and set up brainmachines, and was told to “not smoke DMT at the DJ booth” by Randy. I was inspired by the Philly scene. With an afterparty at the dark gay club Shampoo. The people at the club had walkie talkies. They told me to not walk south down Arch street. The location is Space: web spaceistheplace.
Allen made a joke about the Banco de Gaian Mind.

Tsuyoshi Tsuzuki at Vinyl
On a random note, there was a Tsunami party that was supposed to happen in the Winter of 99/00 leading up to El Cuco that was canceled due to cold/weather. I found out about the cancellation when I got to the door of Vinyl and read the note that said something “It’s too fucking cold to party. Go home.” My buddy and I were already coming up on acid and our parents would not have appreciated our return home at that time. So, while meandering through the city and hitting every Ray’s Pizza that would have us, we hatched a plan to attend El Cuco. At some point, we wound up standing in the middle of the street in times square from 3:30a-4a without seeing a single car or person. … We eventually made it to El Cuco. – Igor

Winter Solstice
There is a surprise visit from one of the three founders/DJ’s from the famous Los Angeles MOONTRIBE SOUND SYSTEM. He is here to make sure that somebody organizes a full moon event in the New York area no matter how cold it gets. He putting up all the money for the system and necessities just so that we can be dancing under the last and biggest full moon of the millennium. This will be held this Wednesday, December 22 the winter solstice, no matter how many people come. I’m aware that people are going to bitch about the cold but we don’t care. We’re making sure that there is going to be Firecans to keep people warm, and we just want to have a small number of people anyway to keep the family vibe that the Moontribe experiences every full moon party they’ve thrown, no matter how many show up. Dj’s: JOE (MOONTRIBE FOUNDER) MATTHEW MAGIC (TSUNAMI-PROJECT BEYOND) JOA (POLYMORPHOUS-NYC) SEAN DETECH (PROJECT BEYOND-MOJOSTUDIO) plus more to be added… this will be mainly a psytrance experience, but we will throw in the proper diversity needed to keep things interesting. Remember it’s FREE so dress warm and don’t bitch, it gets cold in the desert and that hasn’t stopped them for over five years. If your interested please feel free to e-mail me for directions irishdragon at rcn Hope to here from some of you soon, MATTHEW MAGIC
*Email to everyone we’re starting a tribal solstice/equinox tradition* Things seem to have worked out. The full moon party starts at 9:00 pm tonight (Wednesday) and goes until we stop. Dress warm Gloves hat jacket. Please bring your own bottle of water. BYOB (… … … Brain) The event will be held at the George Washington bridge location. This is where Alphatrance and SubtleChaos have thrown their outdoor parties. Happy Holidays and welcome home to so many psytrance students returning from school. The celebration space is the best place I’ve been to in NYC. You must check it out. Be patient if it takes a while for their generator to get running. It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and the Triborough merge. It’s creepy getting there but there are a lot of good people around %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water.
Alienblue3 at yahoo writes: whos playing here tonight? Does it matter? We’re just inviting all the Webster Hall DJs and asking them to interpret Goa. No sneakers, please. To paraphrase Mork, Humor. Har.Har. It will be Moontribe, Matthew magic, alphatrance guys, probably more
Thanks… to the 40 listmembers who emailed Matthew Magic for the detes on the party. This rush of interest got the party going and made it happen. Now the final step…. show up… see ya’ll tonight around 9 or 10. Power to the People. BTW The Lord of the Rings will be made into 3 movies, live-action, special effects, made in the UK by the British george lucas… and the elves will be tranced out (just kidding about that last part)
News on the alt NYears party Thanks to all for attending the Full Moon Winter Solstice under the bridge last night. We danced around the bonfire like anesthetic saddhus underneath a beautifully clear and unseasonably warm night. Heads off to Matthew Magic who truly came through to demonstrate that he can on occasion transcend being the house monkey for Tsunami and rise to the occasion of his role as the atomic fulcrum of the cutting edge of full-on tribal DIY, meanwhile proving to out-of-towner Cali freaks like Moontribe that we are not just weekenders here on Empire Island. Can’t wait for the Vernal Equinox celebration this spring, same bat time, same bat channeling.

Hello all, Thanks for your kind support throughout this year, we promise that SubtleChaos will keep you dancing full-on and taking your mind far away places where only the strong survive… We continue to research new music you can hear new styles and new sounds in our sets coming from all over the galaxy, we do think, however, that new is good, but only as long as the old is remembered. Experiment with us. Our SubtleChaos studio is working, as much as we can, we try to put our fingers on the knobs every moment we have free, so new millennium will bring us “live”. Until then please be patient, it’s not so easy and don’t try it at home. Prolonged trance-recording sessions do cause psychotic disorders… whom should we thank… All artists that make their music make us wish we were there… Aleks, Jeff, Kristina, Mike, Max, DJ MoonWalker, DJ IndiaDrop, Rijaya & friends, Mathew Magic, Mark, Gosha, friends at Phantasm, Yon-E, Gabi, Lior, Severin, Ceasar, Alex, Daniel (hope to see you back soon!), Peter, Simon, Sam, Daniel V., Twinsun, Thrash, Bjorn, Chaos Unlimited, all old friends in Israel, Germany, Sweden, UK, Spain, Moscow… all New York party people for your nuclear vibe and smiles. Happy Holidays! Many thanks to all promoters and organizers that helped us find a place to play.
RE: the New Years Party t 40th & 9th. It’s looking better and better, as it looks like someone won’t have to put on the alien mask rollerblading with bullhorn and Freddy Krueger claws to scare out the general public fux so we can get some rheum to dance. If you want to be somewhere before the ball drops this is the only trance party, as Vinyl is going to take some time to get kickin’ before the private party for the club owners is over at 1 or so when the $105 Tsunami begins. Make no mistake, I’ll be there too, it’ll just take me a long while. Hello travelers, We have convinced the club manager to do this party in a proper way, it will be strictly trance crowd party as usual. A small amount of flyers will be dropped at some clothing & music stores, but the most will probably be you people. This also means that you can come early around 10pm, we will have midnight champaign, live video from the streets, later chai etc. Price is still same those who are on the list or have a flyer, can pay $30 at the door or $50 if you are not on the list. Vadim SubtleChaos
Now for the NewYears update – (this is the shit. if you don’t have $105 for Tsunami GO HERE. Tsunami won’t open until 1AM (you heard it here first – the owners of Vinyl want it for a private party until 1am) so if you want to be with the Trance Folk for the countdown this is a must. Me, I’ll be here until 4am then off to Tsunami until 10PM next day- if $ is no object (perfect wyrld) then by all means go to BOTH party people!!) also, keep in mind there is NO COAT CHECK so you’ll have to manage – maybe bring a pack combination lock with a metal cord, $10 at EMS camping stores – or if yer nice you can pile it in with my brainmachines shit) MILLENIUM VISION time travel with psychedelic trance A SubtleChaos Science Production, one time only for Millenium celebration in New York! Location: 40th Street between 9 & 8 ave. Walk east 20 meters towards 8th on 40th Street, look for a door on the right with a “nuclear shelter” sign and flyers on the door. (this is the same location as AlphaTrance events) Party starts at 2am 01.01.2000. Before 2am, the music will be playing but the crowd might be quite random as flyers will be given out on the street… (sorry, the club wants to make some money they pay $75). After 2am though the place is ours until we are finished, my guess is that most of the non-trance crowd will quickly want to leave, we are determined to make this is a real trance event for the rest of the time. We have no time limits, we might end up quite late if you want us to. The special price for friends, listies, all new york party people is $30, please email me with your names, you will receive this price only if we have your name before Dec. 31St. Otherwise, the club might charge full price. Please bring the flyer with you as well. Flyers will given out by us, AlphaTrance and friends, no flyers in stores. A URL for the flyer will be posted shortly. This is full-on psychedelic night, long DJ set by us, and some surprise guests from Israel (some really old friends just arrived to spend holidays in New York, so some foreign talents will be heard). Drinks, visuals, chai, we’re working on it… Ohh yes, we are aware of the toilet problems !:-) no worries, this time the club will have their employees working during the party, constantly helping to keep it clean. We are creating this event as an alternative to Vinyl, we know that not all can get in that club and not all are so interested in the line-up, we will try to have a small party for friends, that we can afford & enjoy to the end. Vadim SubtleChaos
here’s the guest list for MILLENIUM VISION time travel with SubtleChaos (RE: prev email) Avoid paying the $75 General Public fee and send all guest list additions for the Hell’s Kitchen location party before Dec 31st to: vadim at hotmail (Vadim) He’s the producer of the heavy Slavic metal trance, you can hear generations of chains that the Cossacks and Czars had shackled the Pogrommed Jews and peasants being THROWN OFF in a catharsis of ecstasy and spiritual renewal. My two rubles: (Death to wussy album-oriented sellout trance, the progressive prettified crap that keeps you on your ass and off your feet.)
Dec Kvetching about crowds My only concern would be: how the hell do we get into Midtown on New Year’s Eve? Remember, 40th & 9th is almost Times Square, so the crowds are going to be unmanageable (what is it, 3 million folks trying to be there at the same time?), the subway stations will be closed, cars will be prohibited from entering the area, etc. etc. Pity on those of us who live in Brooklyn… But I think what we’re gonna do is stop by later in the morning (5-ish) when the night’s craziness is mostly gone… until then, it’s champaign and candles and ambient trance in a very close circle of friends. Vlad It’s GLOBAL CHAOS we going CRAZY so bring your firepower and brainpower. See you there. I know you can make it, O Vlad the Impaler. Get outta Brooklyn already you Sesame Street vampyre motherfucker hah hah…
If you want to be somewhere before the ball drops this is the only trance party, as Vinyl is going to take some time to get kickin’ before the private party for the club owners is over at 1 or so when the $105 Tsunami begins. I have no idea where you got that from, but that is not true. Tsunami’s Millenium Party starts at 10 PM. There is no “private party for the club owners.” Where did you hear that?? There will be live video projections showing the ball drop in Times Square at midnight, along with a complimentary champagne toast. This is a preliminary schedule: 10:00 DJ 11:00 Elias Kazis Midnight Festivities 12:10 Astral Projection PA 1:40 Xerox 3:10 Deedrah PA 4:10 Chakra 5:40 S.U.N. Project PA 7:40 Elias Kazis 8:40 Ophoria PA 9:40 Space Cat PA 10:40 DJ Joa 11:40 Atmos PA DJ’s will be spinning after Atmos until 10PM. Doors close at noon.
Hubris and catharsis My apology. Tsunami opens at 930pm or so New Year’s Eve – the VIP room will be closed until 1am because the club owners will be using it til then. But the BIG ROOM will be open for all to enjoy the countdown to the Trance Millenium. I am sorry for spreading this misinformation. I was confused yet sober when I spoke with John Emmanuel. But support the whole scene and if you can attend BOTH parties.
Tonight – If anybody has a black light please bring to the party at 40th & 9th avenue for a free admittance per Vadim

This was the party where Tim was getting drops of acid from someone and a security guard came up and the guy squeezed the whole bottle on Tim’s hand and Tim sat in a corner for 8 hours completely having an out of body experience.
So, how was everybody’s New Year’s Eve? Sun Project was AWESOME if anybody has heard raging guitar rock trance, these are the guys who make all those songs and I must tell you that they did it all LIVE and they blew the roof off of vinyl. They even have these reeeeally cool alien masks. See, I cloned them from a petri dish, see, I hocked a big loogy into one and added a bunch of black sabbath tunes and Gene Simmon’s tongue and some black drug blood stock and presto instant insanity. Israeli Mike let Oforia use his Apple G3 and I return got a couple of gigs worth of tracks. So Mike now has “instant party,” FYI, for your insanity instantly. A couple that looked like 80s rock stars arrived late – some dude with blue hair and a chick that was a Dead ringer for Nancy Spungen. The SubtleChaos party was vibesy and intimate as usual with its usual blend of local scenesters and “where the fuck did these guys come from” sketchoids that can only originate in disputed border parts of the world… all in all, a great outlet for those who didn’t want to pay $150 for a party that only went through the afternoon and not 10pm as promised. The experience of attending both in the same 24 hour span can only be grokkked by someone who “gets” the Kabbala.
