#734 Tue, 4 Jan 2000 14:31:44 Re: arise, O silent ones In a message dated 1/4/2000 2:16:13 PM Eastern Standard Time, writes: 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 d blood stock and presto instant insanity. Israeli Mike let Oforio use his Apple G3 and i return got a couple 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 dud e with blue hair and a chick that was a Dead ringer for Nancy Spungen. The Subtle Chaos 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.

Mobile phones and beepers will not work in these remote valleys, and there are no public telephones. There are limited shower facilities on the premises. Water, juices, chai, coffee, and vegetarian food will be available for purchase. Yoga classes and instruction will be available as well. TRAVEL INFORMATION: Puerto Rico is part of the United States. If you live in the U.S. you don’t need a passport or visa, since there are no customs. You only need a picture I.D. as required by the airline for check-in. If you travel to Puerto Rico from abroad, the same passport requirements apply as for any American Destination. Flight prices from the U.S. to San Juan vary. It is worth your time to shop around and try on different days. The best deals are found if traveling dates area flexible. We found some good deals at lowestfares [800.497.7137], priceline, Tower Air, Ana, and TWA. The weekend of the festival is the peak season of travel to Puerto Rico, You will therefore have to be persistent and patient about finding deals with airlines and hotels. The days prior to the event should be easier than the days immediately after it, when it comes to hotels. We will organize buses on the main days of the event from San Juan International Airport to the festival site. Times and pick-up points will be announced on the information lines just before the festival. All major car rental companies have offices at the airport, and of course it is important to make your reservation ahead of time. Car renters, please car-pool as many people as possible into your vehicle as there is limited parking space. Taxi fares from San Juan International Airport to the festival site are approximately $90. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean are just 20 minutes away. Here are some travel websites: web priceline web lowestfare web travelocity web expedia web cheaptickets For fun facts about Puerto Rican geography: welcome.topuertorico.org/city/ciales.html web odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rq.html web topuertorico.org/geogra.html LOCATION INFORMATION: The party is in the jungle at La Finca El Cuco (the Farm of El Cuco). El Cuco is the native mysterious mystic, which is known in many stories and legends, some have had profound experiences and a few mortals have had passing glimpses. Will he reveal Himself to us?? EL CUCO, located between the towns of Manati and Ciales, the site is nine miles from the coast and forty minutes away from San Juan, the capitol of Puerto Rico. Running near the property is the Rio Grande de Manati which is navigable all the way to the beautiful unspoiled beaches of the north coast. There are numerous caves and springs on the property that are waiting to be explored for the first time. El Rio Encantado, the longest subterranean river in the world is suspected to run beneath these spiritually infused valleys. This remote private jungle setting as well as its proximity to the beach, San Juan, and the two major airports makes El Cuco ideal for numerous types of adventures. The primary property is a remote six acre farm one mile from the main road. It is very private due to the spectacular mountainous landscape which surrounds it. The festival site has several flat open spaces where the main stage, camping ground, and chillout will be. These open spaces very steep hills of virgin jungle, making it impossible to penetrate. Looking up, at the edge of the cliffs is the wide open tropical sky, so it seems like each little valley has its very own sky. Visitors will be required to register upon arrival at a house by the main road, where secure parking will be provided. Heavy bags will be transported to the site by an official vehicle and then there will be a one mile hike on a dirt road through the jungle to the secluded site of El Cuco. This is a sacred area. After the Spaniards invaded Puerto Rico the native people, the Indios Tainos, retreated into these hidden and remote canyons. Later, the Spaniards opened up the small, flat valleys for agriculture. In the early 1900’s the inhabitants moved to the cities. The jungle vegetation quickly overgrew the farm. Only these parts have been cleared out again, and not a single inch of jungle was touched. Please respect the environment and dispose of garbage as instructed on the site. OPENING CEREMONY: The opening ceremony will begin on Saturday, February 19th at 4:20 PM, when the sign of Leo, the regal ruler of play fun, and beauty will be rising in the East. The ceremony will be performed by a native holy man, a priest of Santeria (indigenous mystical path), invoking all supreme beings from all traditions, the five elements, nature, and of course, El Cuco, to bestow their blessings and protections upon the event and its participants, so that it will be filled with joy, light, and life transforming insights all throughout the three days. The night of February 19th will be a full moon in the sign of Virgo. In this part of the world, the moon is so bright one can read by the moonshine. The festival will end Monday, February 21st in the early afternoon. OUR INTENTIONS: This is the first major music event to be held in El Cuco. Our hosts intend to stage high quality music events and spiritual gatherings regularly. Our hosts in Puerto Rico and Tsunami are working very hard and doing their best to bring about a memorable festival to east visitor, assembling the strongest international trance line-up to ever appear in this country. In order to succeed, we will need the help of each and every one of us. Please help out from time to time with the chores at hand, and please follow suggestions from the security and organizers. Lets shower each other with love and respect, so that together we will make El Cuco a first in a series of experiences that we will cherish forever. EMAIL LIST: This list is for discussing Tsunami’s First International El Cuco Festival. Topics may include travel plans, camping arrangements, hook ups with other trancers, El Cuco sightings, or anything related to the festival. Only subscribers may post to the list. The list is unmoderated, and open to anyone interested. HAVE YOU SEEN EL CUCO?? Has El Cuco revealed himself to you??

#743 Wed, 12 Jan 2000 08:40:41 From: ” jeff at x.x These guys struggled with this venue last time; however, this time it just might work given the paucity of oter trance this weekend: Hey Jeff, I want to let you know that I am doing a show with Medicine Drum, Truth and DJ Moonwalker at VIP Saturday. This show is not only going to go off, but it is also a much more positive vibe than the last show I was trying to do because I am not working with that crew from Long Island on this. You know that Chris Deckker from Medicine Drum started Return to the Source and band, is playing one of its first live shows; they are combining Psychedelic Trance with real instruments and are wicked cool. Truth are also playing at Pseudo on Thursday at Midnight. I am hoping that you can include details on the show Saturday on your email list of things to do. It is a small, intimate venue and it will look totally different because of Hanoch and Adrian’s decorations. Let me know if you can do it and if you need any more info. My number is 917-771-6781. You can also email me at carmone at earthlink.net. It is not an expensive show, $15 with flyer, $20 at the door. The exact address is 2020 20th St between 5th and 6th. 21 & over w/ID. Let me know if you can come as well, and anyone else you want to bring within reason. Hope all is well, Kyle

See, there are weird connections b/w him and me that I can’t go into here and we can’t be seen as being connected. He was one of the people who came over to be interviewed in the Dutch public TV special that was filmed last November and at the last minute he wanted out and freaked out and got a lawyer so he was removed from the video. It was called TRANCE & dS and he did not like the connection. This is a little ironic b/c there are LOTS of ravers on you-know-what at those parties…. but c’est la vie. But go. “Mark” your calendar.

Indra + Yoshik (Alphatrance Psyductions) We’ll see you soon! aleks at alphatrance.org (AP) Talk about an ounce of prevention: A study found that a few pennies’ worth of oxygen can cut the risk of surgical infections in half. That can mean thousands and thousands of dollars less in medical bills. Air is about 21 percent oxygen. But patients routinely get 30 percent oxygen during and after surgery, because the lungs do not work well under anesthesia. The study tested whether a richer mixture would improve the outcome. Boosting the oxygen level to 80 percent made a big difference. Twenty-eight of 250 patients on the standard mix developed infections, compared with only 13 out of 250 who got extra oxygen. The study was published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine and was led by Dr. Daniel I. Sessler of the University of California at San Francisco. The study is significant because it shows an easy, inexpensive way to make a big cut in medical bills, said Dr. Avery Tung, an assistant professor of anesthesia at the University of Chicago’s medical school. According to another study, postoperative infections add an average of $12,500 to the cost of cancer surgery. The only cost to the richer-oxygen treatment is about three cents’ worth of oxygen. “It’s just a matter of setting two knobs in different positions. Both knobs need to be set anyway, and you just turn them a little more to get more oxygen,” Sessler said. Doctors have worried that extra oxygen might make the lungs more likely to collapse. However, he said, a study of his last year in the journal Anesthesiology found no difference in the percentage of such collapses on high and normal doses of oxygen. There was also an unexpected benefit patients who got extra oxygen were half as likely to be nauseated after surgery. The study was conducted at the Donauspital in Vienna, Vienna General Hospital and University Hospital Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany.20 Scientists already knew that the white blood cells known as neutophils use oxygen to kill germs. And they knew that high levels of oxygen in body tissues help prevent infection and that breathing higher levels of oxygen put more oxygen into the tissues. What they did not know was whether it made a difference in patients’ healing. “This shows it’s not just a theoretical benefit but a real benefit, and that it’s much greater than you might have expected,” Sessler said. “It’s an enormous benefit for no cost and effort and risk.” The study looked at bowel surgery patients because they have the highest risk of infection. The findings might have even greater implications for burn units, since infections cause most deaths there, said Tung, head of his hospital’s burn unit.

The club is small-ish but goth-ish at the corner of 14th street and Willow Ave. at the north end of town. If you remember the birthday party you attended at my place last summer and the music by famed house DJ Chris Johnson you’ll know this will be a good time! Doors open at 10:00pm till whenever and there my be a nominal cover for Mr. Johnson’s time. Could you put this out on your list so that your merry neuro-mancers can join in the fun!?

Mobile phones and beepers will not work in these remote valleys, and there are no public telephones. There are limited shower facilities on the premises. Water, juices, chai, coffee, and vegetarian food will be available for purchase. Yoga classes and instruction will be available as well. TRAVEL INFORMATION: Puerto Rico is part of the United States. If you live in the U.S. you don’t need a passport or visa, since there are no customs. You only need a picture I.D. as required by the airline for check-in. If you travel to Puerto Rico from abroad, the same passport requirements apply as for any American Destination. Flight prices from the U.S. to San Juan vary. It is worth your time to shop around and try on different days. The best deals are found if traveling dates area flexible. We found some good deals at lowestfares [800.497.7137], priceline, Tower Air, Ana, TWA, and ATA [1-800-I-Fly-ATA]. The weekend of the festival is the peak season of travel to Puerto Rico, You will therefore have to be persistent and patient about finding deals with airlines and hotels. The days prior to the event should be easier than the days immediately after it, when it comes to hotels. We will organize buses on the main days of the event from San Juan International Airport to the festival site. Times and pick-up points will be announced on the information lines just before the festival. All major car rental companies have offices at the airport, and of course it is important to make your reservation ahead of time. Car renters, please car-pool as many people as possible into your vehicle as there is limited parking space. Taxi fares from San Juan International Airport to the festival site are approximately $90. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean are just 20 minutes away. Here are some travel websites: web priceline web lowestfare web travelocity web expedia web cheaptickets For fun facts about Puerto Rican geography: welcome.topuertorico.org/city/ciales.html web odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rq.html web topuertorico.org/geogra.html LOCATION INFORMATION: The party is in the jungle at La Finca El Cuco (the Farm of El Cuco). El Cuco is the native mysterious mystic, which is known in many stories and legends, some have had profound experiences and a few mortals have had passing glimpses. Will he reveal Himself to us?? EL CUCO, located between the towns of Manati and Ciales, the site is nine miles from the coast and forty minutes away from San Juan, the capitol of Puerto Rico. Running near the property is the Rio Grande de Manati which is navigable all the way to the beautiful unspoiled beaches of the north coast. There are numerous caves and springs on the property that are waiting to be explored for the first time. El Rio Encantado, the longest subterranean river in the world is suspected to run beneath these spiritually infused valleys. This remote private jungle setting as well as its proximity to the beach, San Juan, and the two major airports makes El Cuco ideal for numerous types of adventures. The primary property is a remote six acre farm one mile from the main road. It is very private due to the spectacular mountainous landscape which surrounds it. The festival site has several flat open spaces where the main stage, camping ground, and chillout will be. These open spaces very steep hills of virgin jungle, making it impossible to penetrate. Looking up, at the edge of the cliffs is the wide open tropical sky, so it seems like each little valley has its very own sky. Visitors will be required to register upon arrival at a house by the main road, where secure parking will be provided. Heavy bags will be transported to the site by an official vehicle and then there will be a one mile hike on a dirt road through the jungle to the secluded site of El Cuco. This is a sacred area. After the Spaniards invaded Puerto Rico the native people, the Indios Tainos, retreated into these hidden and remote canyons. Later, the Spaniards opened up the small, flat valleys for agriculture. In the early 1900’s the inhabitants moved to the cities. The jungle vegetation quickly overgrew the farm. Only these parts have been cleared out again, and not a single inch of jungle was touched. Please respect the environment and dispose of garbage as instructed on the site. OPENING CEREMONY: The opening ceremony will begin on Saturday, February 19th at 4:20 PM, when the sign of Leo, the regal ruler of play fun, and beauty will be rising in the East. The ceremony will be performed by a native holy man, a priest of Santeria (indigenous mystical path), invoking all supreme beings from all traditions, the five elements, nature, and of course, El Cuco, to bestow their blessings and protections upon the event and its participants, so that it will be filled with joy, light, and life transforming insights all throughout the three days. The night of February 19th will be a full moon in the sign of Virgo. In this part of the world, the moon is so bright one can read by the moonshine. The festival will end Monday, February 21st in the early afternoon. OUR INTENTIONS: This is the first major music event to be held in El Cuco. Our hosts intend to stage high quality music events and spiritual gatherings regularly. Our hosts in Puerto Rico and Tsunami are working very hard and doing their best to bring about a memorable festival to east visitor, assembling the strongest international trance line-up to ever appear in this country. In order to succeed, we will need the help of each and every one of us. Please help out from time to time with the chores at hand, and please follow suggestions from the security and organizers. Lets shower each other with love and respect, so that together we will make El Cuco a first in a series of experiences that we will cherish forever. EMAIL LIST: This list is for discussing Tsunami’s First International El Cuco Festival. Topics may include travel plans, camping arrangements, hook ups with other trancers, El Cuco sightings, or anything related to the festival. Only subscribers may post to the list. The list is unmoderated, and open to anyone interested. HAVE YOU SEEN EL CUCO?? Has El Cuco revealed himself to you?? Bring unmistakable proof, such as a picture, message to our hosts that only El Cuco would understand, or an object clearly given to you by El Cuco Himself. You will win a free Tsunami El Cuco International Festival limited edition t-shirt or a Tsunami limited edition pre-release of the CD to be released at a later date. THE EL CUCO FESTIVAL MARKS TSUNAMI’S 50TH PARTY!!

If you need help, come to 2600 at CitiCorp Center tomorrow (Friday)and talk to some of the kidz. I am interested in certain sciences, none of which I see discussed by your mindless correspondents. Thirty years ago I was way hipper in some of the more technical media your immature friends are now pursuing. It’s generally dead and a diversion, distraction, and it dissipates your prime mental energy. ‘Nuff said? My complaint is I use e-mail to correspond with specific individuals on certain intellectual subjects that, when comprehended, make the mindless “fun” seem as shallow as it actually is. I use HOTMAIL as a filing place for a lot of this info, and your “spam” (comments on untalented but colorful bands and their revelrous celebrations) is unnecessary. Also, the contents aren’t correctly keyed to the subject matter of the subjects in your “stuff”. Please leave me alone, and do the same for the others. I now keep getting e-mail addressed to YOU by people asking the same thing I want, to be indisturbed by your disturbed disciples. Steve, there are some real things going on now, as certain powerful groups plan your future and mine. Your group is simply playing around while our rights are undermined. Too much junk like this makes the HOTMAIL ‘bot delete a page at a time of my stuff on their free server. Please keep your revels to yourselves, and don’t “scattergun” your discussions. Either that or (unlikely) get serious about life. Come to 2600 and try to understand what is actually going on. A huge info battle is being fought. Our enemies, the would-be controllers, just love for the masses to be like your gang. Your approach to mind expansion is no threat to them, or they’d come down on you in no uncertain terms. Please wake up, or someday you’ll wake up anyway, but in virtual chains of your own making. Bob the Bopper

If you answered the nine correctly I’ll give you a million dollars at Disinfocon, assuming you’re going. I’ll be there with Pointy ears, “disturbed disciples,” “mindless correspondents,” “immature friends,” and a Zippy squirt gun w/DMSO mixed with Lucy in Disguise with Neil Diamond, looking for YOU. Oh, the $ is not a joke, I’m printing them up especially for you and me, Bob. Rather than simmer for a year why did it take you giving us a sucker punch to come out with the 2600 meetings? I’ve been to them – hell, with ole Cap’n Crunch we did some entertainment at the HOPE party but the hackers were too zonked to communicate. Hacker meets are interestingand would be welcome on this list but you have only reinforced the negative stereotype of a misanthropic Ted Kaczynski type that many of your age have tried to shake. I understand what you are trying to say but your social IQ is lower than even Cap’n Crunch’s. You are “dead, a diversion, a distraction, and you’re still dissipating your prime mental energy. ‘Nuff said?” One word of warning – there are a good number of (retired) hackers on this list who are sympathetic and, well, be careful when you’re throwing grenades because they can sometimes bounce back and blow up in your face. If you want neurotech info try Mind-L at onelist but read the fucking description before you try to rain on other people’s parades. God, I hope I am not as jaded as you are when I’m 45. BTW, your banners on your web avalonframes web site are missing. Please “get someone who knows what he’s doing to help you straighten it out. If you need help, come to 2600 at CitiCorp Center tomorrow (Friday)and talk to some of the kidz.” Freedom is a weapon… Use it… But when you get friendly fire, don’t be afraid to frag those you thught were allies… Pax, PS My deepest apologies if Avalon Frames was your business that went belly up.

If you need help, come to 2600 at CitiCorp Center tomorrow (Friday)and talk to some of the kidz. I am interested in certain sciences, none of which I see discussed by your mindless correspondents. Thirty years ago I was way hipper in some of the more technical media your immature friends are now pursuing. It’s generally dead and a diversion, distraction, and it dissipates your prime mental energy. ‘Nuff said? My complaint is I use e-mail to correspond with specific individuals on certain intellectual subjects that, when comprehended, make the mindless “fun” seem as shallow as it actually is. I use HOTMAIL as a filing place for a lot of this info, and your “spam” (comments on untalented but colorful bands and their revelrous celebrations) is unnecessary. Also, the contents aren’t correctly keyed to the subject matter of the subjects in your “stuff”. Please leave me alone, and do the same for the others. I now keep getting e-mail addressed to YOU by people asking the same thing I want, to be indisturbed by your disturbed disciples. Steve, there are some real things going on now, as certain powerful groups plan your future and mine. Your group is simply playing around while our rights are undermined. Too much junk like this makes the HOTMAIL ‘bot delete a page at a time of my stuff on their free server. Please keep your revels to yourselves, and don’t “scattergun” your discussions. Either that or (unlikely) get serious about life. Come to 2600 and try to understand what is actually going on. A huge info battle is being fought. Our enemies, the would-be controllers, just love for the masses to be like your gang. Your approach to mind expansion is no threat to them, or they’d come down on you in no uncertain terms. Please wake up, or someday you’ll wake up anyway, but in virtual chains of your own making. Bob the Bopper

I believe we’ll just have the smaller room this time. But in a few weeks we’ll do the Kabbala thing again, albeit with a new direction. (But NOT a Koran party – haha women must wear veils and no open bar 😉 just Sufi and Whirling Dervishes). Maybe a techno voodoo or Santeria theme, a la Mona Lisa Overdrive, if anybody has ideas email me. Next time we will have Vornado fans and negative ion generators. Keep note: the next time we throw a full on event again, the environment will be more elaborate and the entry price a little higher to cover the free refreshments, and the owner’s and DJ’s costs. Thanks to all for making Kabbala an unprecedented success. To the drummer on the set who made the evening have a Sun Project feel, to Suzanne or the Kabbala mantras displayed ove the walls, to Ruben for being a solid partner, to the owner Joey who did all the artwork and had patience and understanding, to Joey Cassanova for keeping a clear head (somebody had to), to Dmitri for handling security, to musikal sorcerers Alex/Yoshik and Gosha/Indra and Aphex Mike and especially Joe from Moontribe, and most of all to everyone who made the evening a true social mystic journey, we love you.

#797 Tue, 15 Feb 2000 17:26:20 From: Biginfofile on Ragnarok Friday Vaпnдmoпnen mythology The Bock Saga Introduction and Commentary 1995 by A. Barker Produced, Directed, & Published by G.O.D. Bros Travel Ling Circus A Life Wheel Repair Project Grove of Dragons * 222 Kanaio * Maui, Hawai’i 96790 * Tel/Fax (808) 878-3221 April 22, 1995 “Every language is a temple in which the soul of those who speak it is enshrined.” Oliver Wendell Holmes The Bock Saga cannot be written, only written about. Why? Sa means to receive. Ga means to give. The process of receiving/giving introduced here took place from generation to generation in the Bock Family via the linguistic system, the “sound system”, of Rot (say “root”) language. The nucleus of this system is a ring of 23 sounds, each of which has specific meaning(s). The meaning(s) of each individual sound must be approached within the context of and in relation to the meaning(s) of all other sounds comprising the ring. The ring-ing inspired by the sound system of the Rot language cultivates an activity within the human brain that roots, educates and nourishes the integrated processes of consciousness and communciation observable (and intuited) in the laws of nature. When symbols representing the 23 sounds are written upon a page, in a ring, we have an “alphabet” that revolves in a continuum. The accompanying development of logic patterns inherent within – and emanating from – sequences discovered and followed in correlating these specifically meaningful sounds form a mandala. This non-linear alphabet can not be written in a column with a beginning and an end; rather it circulates, literally, socially and logically. Like ripples radiating from a handful of pebbles thrown into a pond, the unfoldings of interdependent meanings are ceaselessly converging and overlapping, encouraging spontaneous, simultaneous non-linear thought processes (synaptic connections) that replicate the cyclical and radiant movements of creation itself. This not only parallels natural laws evidenced within the larger system, confirming discoveries continuing to this day in fields as diverse as particle physics, astrophysics and genetics. “As below, so above. As above, so below.” As any engineer will affirm, when two things are in vibratory resonance there is an exchange of energy between them. When used correctly, the Sound System presents the human brain with a task – an activity – that brings it into vibratory resonance with universal natural forces and laws of cause and effect, known popularly to many as karma. Between these two – human brain and Sound System – there is an exchange of energy; in the process, the one becomes a part of the vitally resonating force field of the other. When the two entities are properly tuned, their internal frequencies synchronised, this phenomenon of resonance mirrors the vibrational alignment known to the scientist as superconductivity. How does human DNA respond to such vibrational resonance? What information is supported, or transformed from its potential state, to vital readiness, in response to the contextualizing activities which Rot language stimulates in the human brain? What is the effect of sound upon electromagnetic and biochemical functions among cells in our brain? And throughout the entire body? There is much research to be done in this field. In all fairness to those seeking truth, it must be asserted that this is a scientifically proveable fact and principle. However, it has never been, nor can it be, reduced to or conveyed fully in writing. Through the millenia of Rot’s active role in the unfolding the human race’s history, individuals designated as its transmitters and conveyors were required to listen to the saga of sounds (with evolving antecedent understanding of their meanings and accompanying perception of the logic patterns being described) for some hours each day for 20 years, from the age of 7 to 27. This would have to be accomplished before one would be invited to ask one’s first question, for only by then would they be amply prepared to responsibly exercise this precious right and undertaking. Afterward, one’s sa ga continued throughout a lifetime. In this precisely articulate process the original Vaпnдmoпnen mythology was updated and passed on from generation to generation, self-corrected and disseminated, sa-ga’d, via Alphernas Beten, the root. Inasmuch as this introduction is not a manual of instruction, no attempt is being made to offer the 23 sounds of Alphernas Beten, the ring, phonetically*. * See Glossary entries for individual sounds in the Ring. Audio materials are available through abarker at cruzio. It is worth noting that this alphabetic ringing makes three direct statements concerning the role, fate and destiny of ho-man (human) beings upon Earth. This ringing of three primary statements set forth by the circular alphabet is symbolized – notated – thus: i Asernas Bцrg C Dagen, Ekens Frus Grund, Hel. i Jarlarnas Karlarnas Lag: Monen, Nordcharnan, Oden, Polen, Quadraten. Ras Sol Tor, Ursprungets Vaner i. Within this ring of sounds the condition upon which our species would multiply and inhabit the Earth was and remains set forth. Of course, in order to fully understand this ring of three statements or conditions of human existence, one must understand fully each individual sound and combination sound in these 23 words and how they relate logically in this ever-revolving, never static, always growing, brilliantly and sublimely ordered continuum and truly original form of circus -a word which means, in Rot, “the love of the ring”. Vaпnдmoпnen Mythology Vaпnдmoпnen mythology presents a “logical, honest and true” history of the human race upon the earth. Pre-dating currently known written records, archaelogical findings and all known artifacts, it is a story too voluminous and intricate to store up and pass on via the inadequacies of the written word. The written word is, in our context, a relatively recent form. It stands out, in contrast to Vaпnдmoпnen mythology, as mute and static, for this device upon which we rely so heavily today for the storage and transmission of our legacies accords legitimacy to all statements, be they vital or insignificant, genuine or deceitful. Analysis under the clear light and resonating force of Vaпnдmoпnen mythology (sound logic rings true) reveals the not-so-faint palimpsest of successive corrupting hands. Centuries of massaging the Truth for personal gain have seriously distorted mankind’s vision not only of himself, but of his past and true legacy. The Bock Saga – or Vaпnдmoпnen mythology – is more than a living historical documeit was the original scenario for human existence, a handbook for humans to live by, authored via Alphernas Beten itself. Today, achieving skillful, practiced use of its primal sound system, one can demonstrate the common origin of human linguistics, mythologies, symbolism, philosophies and religions the world over. Should any care to understand and accept how we humans are meant to inhabit the Earth and play our naturally lawful part in appreciating and maintaining the system of which we are each so obviously a part, we may search confidently for such understanding within the Rot linguistic ring. No such tool or resource has heretofore been offered. Perhaps this priceless treasure is emerging from secrecy none too soon, for the human race is rapidly accelerating into a hairpin turn after following for too long a mentally, physically and spiritually destructive-consumptive curve that it is (we are) ill-prepared to negotiate. Thus it was that the Rot itself – the ring of sound upon which all human communication was originally based – carried the sa ga of human history, the giving-receiving from generation to generation using the continuuum of human brains, human procreation and human kela* within the human family for the natural and given purpose of the Sound System: that is, to teach, guide, instruct, inspire, comfort, lead and direct the human race in the conduct of its existence in harmony and accord with natural law. When human activity is maintained in this balance, the greatest potential inherent in human existence is achieved. To nurture this potential to live in vibratory resonance and harmony with this law, and to engineer accordingly a self-governing human society, graced with understanding and appreciation, was, and continues to be, the purpose and value of Rot language, the Sound System, and Vaпnдmoпnen mythology. Bearing in mind, then, that each sound in each Rot name, word or expression is related in meaning (logically, honestly and truly) to each and every other, that the understanding of each sound – each word – is a life-long procedure and that transference of the story, the mythology, the saga, traditionally opens with a unique 20-year “statement” and accompanying process. Bearing in mind also that the system cannot be written, that it must be heard in order that its logic, honesty and truth be given the opportunity to themselves ring in one’s brain. Then, by way of introduction, suffice it to be observed that, after the Vaпnдmoпnen mythology follows a long sequence of events pertaining to the earlier parts of the story of creation (and rendered in most exquisite detail via this kela “in sound”) we are given the following to contemplate: that the “planet” э, having undergone its processes to the point permitting it, al (say “all” – we can think of the one-celled algae*) gave rise to il (say “eel” – means “eel”) which gave rise to garuda (frog) which came onto the land, evolving into monki (say “moon key” – means, today, monkey) or apa (ape) which, in union with nanivorhi (today “goat” or “bock”) engendered the first two humans, Frej (say “frey”), masculine, and Freja (say “freya”), feminine. At 7 years of age, Frej developed sperma (sperm) rendering his brain the fertile grund (ground) in which Alphernas Beten, the potent seed of a complete system and planet, could germinate and tarot (take root). He began teaching it to his sister and thus brother and sister learned to communicate by speaking Rot, as Frej transferred this system to Freja. Frej was the first Bock, the first member of the Aser. Aser were the pipol (pronounced “pee-pol”, means people) living inside Odemna (pronounced “uuu-den-maaa), a ringland, a sunland, a motherland, an eternal land, 250 km in diameter, the exact center of which was Hel (means “clear”, “home” and “complete”), located at the original north pole of the bal we call Earth before Ice Time when its axis of rotation was yet perpendicular to its plane of orbit around the Sun. Freja was the first Svan, the first feminine member of the Aser, the first matar. Thus inside Odenma, surrounding the north pole before the Earth’s axial declination, the Sun would appear to circle the horizon 24 hours a day, while at the equator the days were equally divided, 12 hours with sun, 12 hours without, there being no seasons as were caused by the later shifting of the axis, occurring, according to the linguistics, 50,010,011 years ago, on July 24. Via Alphernas Beten, Frej and Freja understood the system of procreation they were to initiate to insure that humans born as their descendants would be god (pronounced “goood”, meaning good inside) pipol and brah (means outwardly skillful and worthy in attending the Earth) pipol. Frej and Freja, the first Bock and Svan (cf English “swan”) bore 12 sons and 7 daughters, at least. The first son was C po il Marinen, called Ra, and the first daughter Maia (cf English May and maypole). These first born became king and qvena (king and queen) of the entire human family being procreated; although they did not themselves bear children. They represented the Moon and wisdom upon Earth among humans, while Bock and Svan, their parents, represented the Sun and generation. The roles of the next 6 daughters and the next 10 sons born to Bock and Svan are being omitted from this brief introduction; suffice it to say, for the moment, that none of these ten sons sired offspring, while the six daughtars were eligible to become Disas, whose role will be discussed shortly. These direct descendants of Bock and Svan make up the Piroet family. The 12th son of Bock and Svan received, at the age of 7, the title Lil Bockin, and at age 27 (after, among other preparations, having listened to the saga for 20 years) Lil Bockin was given, like his father, the title and role of Bock (progenitor; procreator), and he then mated with his generation’s svan, the ma tar (Earth mother), bearing 12 sons and 7 daughters (at least), the first born of each being Ra and Maia, the 12th son again Lil Bockin becoming Bock at age 27 and beginning, with Svan, the most beautiful and healthy woman on Earth, to continue this basic round of 12 sons and 7 daughters (at least) comprising the Bock or Piroet family (say “pirouette” as in French, please), the first or head family among the Aser, inside Odenma, before Ice Time. The retiring Bock became Ok (say “ooo co”, co as in coat) or Per, while the retiring Svan became Aka (ah-kah). Hence all pipol were per sons or per daughtars. Bock also procreated with Disa(s) (meaning, among other things, “stem mother”) in creating the second et, or family (et also means branch) inside Odenma, the Roset – the Ros et (rose family, rose branch). The offspring of Bock and Disa were either Rabi or Nar (masculine), Disa or Sienere (feminine). Outside of Odenma, the planet was settled by Van pipol or Vaner (Van means “one”). These Van people spoke Van language, created by Aser based upon Alphernas Beten, the sound system of Rot. Van language is architected to enable orchestration of a vast and virtually limitless range of possibilities, and allowed for exquisite definition of essential details of perception among the Vaner, those who migrated outward, southward, from the center, Hel – the original place of human life – to populate the globe or bal. As they encountered a broad range of terrestrial circumstances never found inside Odenma, they were able to use Van language to guide them in understanding the new lands they inhabited, communicating their existential perceptions and experiences to one another, as well as those travelling and reporting to Hel, with great precision. Let us take particular note of the fact that Van, (it is called Finnish today) was designed for a specific purpose: to accomodate and facilitate the role of Vaner in populating the earth. In Van, as today in Finnish, each word can take one of at least 165,252 forms, cases, or tenses, while much of the vocabulary can assume over 200,000 forms. Many English speakers, by comparison, commonly use only a few tenses – present, past, future, perhaps conditional – leaving 165,100 plus forms yet unused if given the unique capacity of Van. Obviously, then, into no other known language, past or present, can the Van language’s unique potential and possibility for exquisite detail, association and correlation be accurately translated. But we might well wish to ponder this question: how many languages, considered rather complete to our present way of thinking, might be formed by isolating certain areas of the capacity of Van, containing within themselves distinct, if much smaller, portions of the original whole? At the same time how many forms, nuances, and meanings might have survived or have been accomodated, without flaw, if smaller populations were separated from the continuing instruction of the original architects of language as a whole, when the primary Rot/Van system was abruptly broken into pieces? Outside Odenma, starting from Hel, the first Rasti or information center -, in symbolic form – the cradle of the human race at the exact north pole ( Hel meaning “clear; home; complete”, before Ice Time), Vaner moved southward in all directions forming ringlands the same size as Odenma. This emanation, this “rolling out”, from Hel, was actually but the continuation of greater processes bringing human life to the Earth to receive and act upon instructions given to human society from Oden via, in part, Rot language. In each Ringland outside of Odenma, Rabi was Alfader (all father) to three et or “branches” ofVaner: Jarl-et, Karl-et, and Trel-et. To the ringlands from Hel, from Odenma, came also Nars and Sienere who were members of the information system and did not procreate. Disas remained inside Odenma as “stem mothers”, creating the second et of pipol, Roset, whose father was also Bock. Pa ra dis et (in English, Paradise) explains itself in sound via kela, over time, to one learning Rot language, as an historical period of about 400,000,000 years ending with the first Ragnarцk, the declination of the Earth’s axis, 50,010,011 years ago on the 24th of July, after which began a period called (in Rot) Alt Land Is – “all the land ice” – which lasted for 50,000,000 years. Throughout Paradiset the programs were created in Hel by Aka and the seven Tars and by Ok (Per) (pronounced “ooo – ko”) and the seven Tars (daughtars). These programs were brought to the rasti in each ringland by Nars and Sienere were played out for the instruction of Vaner in a form of theater called, in Rot, circus. After the declination, this process was interrupted for 50 million years, amd has never again been revived in its original and all-inclusive form. The catastrophic event called the first Ragnarцk, the “first destruction of Aser”, the shifting of earth’s axis of rotation initiating cycles we call “seasons”, destroyed virtually all life from the north pole southward, and from the south pole northward, to the equatorial band around the earth. Throughout Paradiset and before the Ragnarцk which marked the beginning of Ice Time, Aser, inside Odenma, could kela Alphernas Beten, the Sound System, and speak and kela both Rot (also called As) and Van. Vaner, living in the many ringlands being established outside of Odenma, would kela and speak only Van. The original and living Rot “instructions” for populating the Earth’s ho man plan et, the continuing flow of information regarding true correct care and maintenance of what we today call our “biosphere” and “ecosystem”, contained in the Rot Sound System, were no longer available to Vaner. Programs created in Hel by Rot-speaking As pipol were no longer brought out to play for Vaner in rastis. When they became disconnected from Aser, who had served as the head of the race – keeping the instructions alive for the benefit of all-Vaner, for this and other reasons concerning the s per ma system, lost their connection with the governing overpower of Oden which guided the human family through Aser, via the breeding and information system. Just as the brain must be fully connnected to a healthy body to assure it the vitality of life, so Vaner required the instruction of Aser in order to function at their highest potential and as intended according to the planet. Now under Altlandis, the single breeding and information system holding one human family together in a unit having five branches or et, no longer existed. Now Aser were no longer the head of Vaner; now Vaner had 10 distinct and new breeding and information systems with a Van King at the head of each and no connection whatsoever with the small group of Aser – still speaking Rot and Van – completely isolated in a virtual island of relative warmth, a relative hot spot in Hel, a small part only of Odenma, surrounding what had suddenly become the old north pole. Hel Hel – the original North Pole, the cradle and center of human life – was not really a city as such, but rather a settlement among 7 hills and the 7 islands that are just off-shore of present-day Helsinki. Each of these fourteen sites served a particular function in the single procreation and information system maintained by Bock/Van or As/Van family connections during Pa ra dis et, “Paradise Time”. When Ice Time (the Alt Land Is period) began, Hel did not freeze over. Warmed by the predecessor of our pre sent Gulf Stream and other natural phenomena, Hel remained relatively ice free. Separated from remaining Vaner by thousands of miles of unpassable ice and snow in all directions, some of the Aser survived there and over time – 50 million years – evolved white skin, blond hair and blue or green eyes. The Vaner who were surviving near the equator also evolved distinctive skin pigmentation and other remarkable physical characteristics; all, however, to this day, appearing to be tropical as differentiated now for the first time from the Aser who during Altlandis became distinctly arctical. Given foreknowledge of the first Ragnarцk and the Ice Time to follow, via their kela of Alphernas Beten in response to observable events, Aser conceived a program for the Vaner who in regions near the equator would survive this great catastrophe to earthly life. The breeding system of Paradiset would end, and among remaining Vaner in 10 locations “King systems” would be established for the first time, each for its language using a designated portion of Van, the initial 10 kings who were the Rabis at that time Alfader to the ringlands chosen as centers for the new breeding and information systems devised to sustain surviving Vaner during Ice Time. Thus the role of these 10 chosen Rabi radically changed after the first Ragnarцk. Each became a king wed to a qvena (queen). The first-born son was again king. The 10 separate king-qvena systems, each speaking a created language developed from a portion of Van, began to evolve not only distinct physical characteristics and outward appearances peculiar to each King-Qvena line, which helped to “keep the pi pol in line”, but also to develop distinct linguistic capacity and usage which would later over time become associated with these evolving “racial traits” and “types”** – a process that it is now possible to begin tracing, illuminating and perhaps at last understanding in the modern world using Alphernas Beten . The Aser, while acquiring arctical characteristics, attitudes, and behavior in new and challenging arctical circumstances, no longer created two et of pipol, Piro-et and Ros-et, during this period of Altlandis, and Bock and Svan no longer gave birth to 12 sons and 7 daughters. Instead Raphael and Sara became the heads of the Aser, bore 7 sons and 7 daughters, and the population remained accordingly small in its tiny ice free area (Hel) in the ice cap that extended thousands of miles southwards from the new North Pole. (The site of Hel is today Helsinki: sing for the key to Hel.) Via adept kela of Rot language it becomes clear to both student and researcher alike that the saga of Alphernas Beten not only produced and vivified the life span of Vaпnдmoпnen mythlogy but demonstrates it today to be the original mythology from which all subsequent mythologiesand “original instructions” have evolved. Via kela of Alphernas BetenЭ it becomes evident that all mythologies present the same basic cast of characters personifying the same essential attributes. The many variations upon identical Vaпnдmoпnen originated and related themes began with the onset of Ice Time – Altlandis – when the original human global family system forever broke apart and Pa ra dis et – paradise on Earth – ended forever. The Second Ragnarцk The second Ragnarцk, the second destruction of Aser, occurred 10,011 years ago as of this writing. The ice cap had been melting northward during 4 major stages that are considered today to be distinct “ice ages”. Foreseeing a major, rapid and radical shifting of the polar ice cap as the melting, proceeding northward from the Baltea (between Sweden and Finland today) would reach a certain point, the Aser constructed what boats they could, filled them with arctical plants and animals they had been developing “under the ice” and pushed them over forbidding glacial mass to the treacherous open waters where 30 Aser – Raphael and Sara, their 7 sons, 7 daughters, and tors * – succeeded in sailing to the tiny island of Bockland. Following their epic and perilous journey to the seaand a tumultuous voyage, they lived for 1,000 years in the chalk caves of what is at present called Gцttland (sometimes Gothland, pronounced “goatland” today in Helsinki; a bock is a goat, recall). Rampaging ice churned up the east coast of what is today called Sweden and the west coast of what became Finland, destroying the site of Hel. It polished both coastlines to a remarkable smoothness, such that the effects of this Ragnarцk are still clearly visible today. The glacial icebergs, however, breaking off and floating southward, passed on either side of this island haven to the south and a bit east of what is today Stockholm, leaving the Aser taking refuge there unharmed. 9014 years ago as of this writing, an advance party of Aser returned from Bockland /Gottland to Tuna * to begin reconstructing Ra C po ri Cas tel, placing its new fundament upon the site of the original, which the second Ragnarцk had destroyed. 9,011 years ago as of this writing, some of the Aser returned to the original site of Hel to rebuild the breeding and information system with, once again, Bock and Svan creating 12 sons and 7 daughters, Bock and Disas creating Rabi, Nar, Disa, and Sienere, with Piroet and Roset inside Odenma and Rabi Alfader to Jarlet, Karlet and Trelet in the ringlands again being populated outside of Odenma, but this time with blond, white, blue- and green-eyed arctical As pipol – Aser – and blond white blue- and green-eyed arctical Van pipol – Vaner. A group at the same time moved south from Bockland to England where the climate and conditions were more favorable for propogation of the arctical animals bred and the arctical plant life developed during Altlandis. Concurrently, two noteworthy individuals – two of the more-than-twelve sons of Bock and Svan, Dan and Sven – rebelled against the system in Hel and, to the west, went their separate ways to create two independent systems – Danmark – the mark of Dan – and Svenskara – the Land of Sven, today Denmark and Sweden. Part of Sven’s system eventually broke off and established their own Norwegian system and, in time, also produced another off-shoot, the Icelandic. It is also well worthy of note that beginning 9,011 years ago, in each generation, one ” Han* Odens Man” – a Han O (say “uuu”) Man – today we know them as Hanuman -was sent from the recreated system at the original site of Hel to each of the centers of the 10 king systems evolving since the beginning of Altlandis. The objective and goal of each Han Odens Man was not to make any attempt to “correct” or “direct” these 10 original king/qvena systems but rather to simply reconnect them, regardless of the state into which they would be found to have transformed and perhaps disintegrated over 50,000,000 years, with the source of information and guidance of Oden which it had originally been the role of Aser to transmit and convey to Vaner during Pa ra dis et, which it had been the role of Aser to preserve, for the entire race, throughout the period of Altlandis, and which it became the responsibility of Aser to follow, to the best of their ability, in guiding the 10,000 year program projected until but eleven years ago. The stated vision and objective in the Bock Family 10,011 years ago (at the time of the second Ragnarцk) was that in 1984, the entire human race, by virtue of its formal reconnection with its roots in Hel and the source of understanding found only in the – our – common Rot langauge and system of thought (kelaa sparked by saga) would now, in our present time, have become elevated to a state of health, well-being, understanding and wisdom guaranteeing that any woman on Earth within this planet, could choose any man to father her next child, producing an inwardly good and outwardly good person or perdaughtar, equipped to live in peace and harmony with the laws of nature. These laws, inherent and explicit in the Sound System of our common root, Rot language, were to become accessible to humanity, directly, via Alphernas Beten, for the first time beginning in the spring of 1984. The revival of original Hiden (perverted to “heathen) culture envisioned at the original site of Hel 10,011 years ago, did not ultimately succeed as planned. It was a shock, following 50,000,000 years of evolution, for various brown, yellow, red and black Vaner to 9,011 years ago begin meeting distinctly arctical blonde, white-skinned, blue- or green-eyed Vaner coming from the north, often leading strange arctical animals, which had also evolved under the ice and had never before been seen by tropicals. Some additional white Aser and later Vaner were breaking with the system in Hel and, taking their supporters, going their separate ways, creating systems of leaders and followers (abandoning the guidance of a shared system wherein all are equal) and establishing very different roles and agenda concerning human harmonization with – or abandonment of – Nature’s Law and the guidance of Oden, which became mispronounced and misunderstood as Odin, Woden, and other degenerations of the original.* During a period of approximately 8,000 years, a number of individuals, bearing only partial knowledge and understanding of the original system otherwise being regenerated, turned their backs upon it. Using what knowledge they had acquired they sought to create systems of their own rather than follow in the Bock family plan. Seriously and radically reforming any and all cultural institutions they usurped, they based their edicts upon existing conditions and partial, incomplete knowledge and understanding. In some cases their inspiration was seriously sapped by their new malaise, the disease they spread with them: personal ambition, greed, and an ego-centric Oden-ignorant urge to wield un- na tor al powers over others. On noteworthy occasions, a few of these, under faulty guidance, allowed themselves to become worshipped as “superior” or “divine” beings, “demi-gods” or “gods”, a concept foreign to the Vaпnдmoпnen system but one that humans will kill and die for to this day. The Hiden pipol, those living in Hiden time, Paradiset, had neither need nor reason for any system of belief. The human family as a whole, composed of five et or branches, was given means of understanding the workings of universal laws in nature upon all life-forms sharing this planet. They could be understood in kela of life processes within the one human family culture, based upon, nurtured by and distinguished as processes rooted in Alphernas Beten, the ring of 23 sounds, invested as they are with meaning that unfolds and imparts to the entire species – with impeccable logic, honesty, and truth – the plan for human existence. (Plan means plan, recall, and Et means branch or family. Hence planet, the plan for the human et, which included all co-existing life forms upon Earth, naturally.) The ho man family during Paradiset was neither a lofty ideal nor an intellectual abstraction but a living reality. At any given time, Aka and Ok – Matar and Alfader – were either mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, great grandmother and greatgrandfather, or great-greats, to every human being alive. That is, it was a real family. The Rot linguistic system detailing this information can now be challenged, experienced, examined and verified by any human being(s) willing and able to approach it. One can, for oneself, kela its function in the human brain, using oneself as the matrix, the laboratory, the system’s fertile ground, and one can share this kela with others to distinguish between that which is na tor al (natural) – logical, honest and true, and that which is norm al – normal – unnatural, illogical, dishonest and false. In no way can the written word accomodate the majestic potential of such a positively profound, mentally “electrifying” process. The Hiden (say “hee-den”) people had no concept of a god, any god, nor any deity*. Rather, Alphernas Beten afforded to Aser profound understanding of eight powers in creation, four masculine and four feminine, manifest to human perception as, and given the names: Hel, Bock, i, Oden, * Ra, Tor, Frej, Freja, and upon this understanding, developed and maintained via kela of sound logic, sound logic that rings true, the breeding and information system was founded and continually renewed, taking however a very different form in the ringlands than it did inside Odenma, while yet entirely dependent on the system radiating from Odenma, from Hel, in which the pipol in each ringland played their part. This will be detailed later when we discuss the breeding and information system at greater length. The Hiden system, then, was based upon a linguistically instructed brain-connected superconducted genetically informed bio-chemically activated and today scientifically demonstrable transmission and understanding of nature and natural law. The major religious systems are based upon belief, and require belief. Not only belief in a so-called “god”, but belief in the so-called “divinity” of at least one principal male figure (why never a woman?) to whom has been attributed supernatural powers in which one is absolutely required to believe. In such a system, the believer is robbed of and denied use of the capacity with which, and the freedom in which, to understand. Failure or refusal to believe the dictates of religion and self-appointed religious officers and bureaucracy have resulted in punishment, crusade, torture and painful death. All of this perpetrated in the name of human beings trying, in a couple of noteworthy instances at least, to encourage peaceful ways among brutish peoples who had devolved into a grotesque state of insanity – a state in which one human being would actually and willingly be moved to inflict harm, pain, or even death upon another, the lowest most abominable state into which supposedly intelligent and potentially good humans can sink. Perhaps the major, most ruthless and relentelessly successful attack upon the Hiden (now “heathen”, with all of its negative connotations) culture, and providing ample evidence of the extent of human devolution since the end of Pa ra dis et, was sustained over many centuries by a bloodthirsty bureaucratic organization using the good name of a personage known as Jesus the Christ – one of the more than twelve sons of Bock living, according to the Saga, approximately 2,000 years ago, a man who never intended to harm anyone – to create a profitable imperial empire, the Roman Catholic Church. A logically accurate picture of this historical period can now, using Rot as the instrument, be constructed for the first time. This is a vital undertaking given that today many beliefs dating from Bibical times are seminal to contemporary culture and directly influence the politics that determine human impact upon the ecosystem of this biosphere we inhabit. In the name only of a peaceful Jesus, so-called Christ-ians murdered, raped, tortured, desecrated, decimated and destroyed what little remained of the culture and languages of the original human family. In time, if one refused to believe the pronouncements coming from Rome on the one hand, or from Constantinople on the other, one was likely to be beheaded or burned to death at the stake. Those who resisted the particularly Christian (so-called) onslaught and monotheistic belief system have been branded as evil or barbaric to this day. The third Ragnarцk, the third destruction of Aser and the dying Hiden culture, occurred on July 24, 1050 AD. At the instigation and direction of Pope Leo IX a mercenary Helvetian army, brought north from Switzerland, sailed from what is today Sweden, surrounded Hel, destroyed and looted what they could, and killed all who had not escaped. In 1050 A.D., a number of Aser escaped the third Ragnarцk northward to Lapinma (Lapland) where they remained until 1248 AD, at which time the Bock Family was given permission by Karl Birjirl Jarl, ruling Swedish magistrate of the day (by whose name we can recognize as having ties with the Bock Family) to move south and again plant its cultural roots upon the original site of Hel. However, as a part of the agreement, nothing could be said at all outside of the immediate Bock Family concerning Vaпnдmoпnen mythology – the Bock (and human) Family saga – until 1984, the year in which all previous breeding systems were meant to end. During the past approximately 7 – 1/2 centuries before the date of this writing (Spring of 1995) while their saga was kept completely secret, the Bock Family on several occasions nearly died out. As their numbers gradually dwindled, the living thread, the continuum connecting the Bock Family with earthly and pre-earthly origins of the human race, Alphernas Beten, was afforded fewer and fewer human brains in which to live its life and be passed on from human generation to generation. Today, Ior Bock is the last Bock. He will bear no children. As the long anticipated year 1984 came upon the Earth, the Rot sound system, the original, primal, still-living root of all subsequent human communication, the linguistic system that taught the human race how to procreate and populate and live at peace and in harmony with the earth for 400,000,000 years, the ringing of sound logic in honesty and truth that nurtured, governed and guided our species throughout the time of Paradiset – Paradise Time – was alive, yes. But alive only in the brain of one man, the last member who will ever live of the oldest human lineage and Self-conscious continuum upon this planet. If but a single – any single – particle of a hologram remains, all of the original information, the whole picture, can be reconstituted accurately from it. Vaпnдmoпnen mythology – the Bock Saga – might almost be considered as though it were a modern holographic plate, containing minutely detailed information describing 450 million years of human history. While the plate itself has been shattered, and only scattered and otherwise incoherent fragments yet remain, we are given, alive today via one man, the very system that constructed the holographic plate picturing what would be the human span on Earth in the first place – Alphernas Beten, the Prayer of the Elvs. From it, it is possible to reconstruct the whole plate, the complete picture, in time, with profound inspiration and supreme effort, if applied as though the life, vitality and ability of the human race to henceforth continue depended upon it. As well it might. And this proposition the reader is invited to kela for him- or herself directly via Alphernas Beten, via Sound logic ringing true. Until we can view the entire, the whole, the complete, accurate and true picture of the human story, our history, as earthly inhabitants who in one manner and another have managed to survive thus far, and until we truly understand – not believe, understand – this picture, this history, and how we came to inherit the global situation that is confronting us today, and accept the logic, the honesty and the truth of it, until then, we can and shall not know how we must proceed under present conditions in which all must work together to heal the wounds inflicted upon our Ma (our mother, the Earth). By healing our Ma, our mother and our Earth, we may yet hope to share, in lawful terms – the naturally lawful terms of the Life Wheel – our sincere appreciation for that upon which human survival depends, now and always. No religion, philosophy, political system, economic system, social system, technology, government, vested interest or institutional power structure currently established on the Earth today is succeeding in turning, directing, inspiring or leading the massive volume of human and other natural resource as a whole into caretaking and stewardship of the global ecosystem; yet this is the effort required from humans in order to renew and maintain the habitability of our Ma. Given that the combined impact, in sum total, of the human species on this planet is rapidly destroying the very conditions upon which plant, animal and human life mutually interdepend, how is the Bock Saga relevant to our human race today, apparently bent on self-destruction? Until we humans can understand the logic, the honesty and the truth of human origins, and the history of human existenceto date, our race will remain deception, misconception, belief, coercion, subjugation and the multitude of miseries preventing it from realizing its potential perfection. A learned gentleman, President of Boston College, collecting the results of a lifetime search into the origins of the human species, published a book entitled Paradise Found – The Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole. The following is from his opening remarks: “, This book is not the work of a dreamer. Neither has it proceeded from a love of learned paradox. Nor yet is it a cunningly devised fable aimed at particular tendencies in current science, philosophy, or religion. It is a thoroughly serious and sincere attempt to present what is to the author’s mind the true and final solution of one of the greatest and most fascinating of all problems connected with the history of mankind. That this true solution has not been furnished before is not strange. The suggestion that primitive Eden was at the Arctic Pole seems at first sight the most incredible of all wild and willful paradoxes. And it is only within the lifetime of our own generation that the progress of geological discovery has relieved the hypothesis of fatal antecedent improbability. Moreover, when one considers the enormous variety and breadth of the fields from which its evidences of truth must be derived; when one remembers how recent are those comparative sciences on whose results the argument must chiefly depend; when one observes that many of the most striking of our alleged proofs, both in the physical and in the anthropological domain, are precisely the latest of the conclusions of these most modern of all sciences, it is easy to see that a generation ago the demonstration here attempted could not have been given. Even five years ago some of the most interesting and cogent of our arguments would as yet have been lacking. The interest which has so long invested our problem, and which has prompted so many attempts to solve it was never greater than today. The lapse of centuries has rendered many another question antiquated, but not this. On the contrary, the more the modern world has advanced in new knowledge, the more exigent has grown the necessity of finding a valid solution. Men are feeling as never before that until the starting point of human history can be determined, the historian, the archaeologist, and the paleontological anthropologist are all working the dark. It is seen that without this desideratum the ethnologist, the philologist, the mythographer, the theologian, the sociologist can none of them construct anything not liable to profound modification if not to utter overthrow, the moment any new light shall be thrown upon the mother-region and the prehistoric movements of the human race. Every anthropological science, therefore, and every science related to anthropology, seems at the present moment to be standing in a state of dubitant expectancy, willing to work a little tentatively, but conscious of its destitution of the needful primal datum, and conscious of its consequent lack of a valid structural law.” William F. Warren, Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1898 (11th ed.), reprinted (1964) by Health Research, Mokeumne Hill, CA These words might have been penned today, stating as they do the tenuous nature of various structural frameworks over which humans have layered cherished beliefs in place of accurate understanding. Prof. Warren’s case is as compelling now as when he published his work in 1885, quite unaware of the Bock Saga, that hand now emerging from beneath its cloak of secrecy to perfectly fit and animate the glove he so precisely tailored in advance. Many people the world over today, from many nations, races, and cultures, via religion, via science, via philosophy; via traditions exoteric, well-known and observed by millions; via practices little known, esoteric and observed only by a few; via lives being lived in great cities and centers of population and mass production; via lively pursuits in small towns and among tribes in rural areas and primeval places – from all walks of life everywhere, the vast majority seek to affirm and honor accordingly the one thing we have in common, regardless how anyone or ones perceive it, or believe it, or understand it, or misunderstand it, to be, or not to be, the truth: we humans are of one origination. There is but one species of homo sapiens inhabiting the Earth. Thus our destiny is one. If a root – Rot – language and history actually exists, able to prove itself to be ours, we humans’, and if we ignore it, and if we fail to investigate it and study it and learn it and reconnect ourselves with it, with our roots and common origin as human social cultural beings capable of communication and cooperation, intelligence and wisdom, living now, upon (or within) this planet, then we as humans will be throwing away the one key we are given that can unlock from within all languages and cultures the secrets of our origins. We are now afforded, in the Bock Saga, an unprecedented opportunity and peerless means with which to discover and understand where we come from, who we are, and how we are to go onward now, from here. If the thread that Alphernas Beten and the Bock Saga offers can take us back, back through time, back through an unfolding exploration and understanding of our true nature and purpose, back to our very beginning, to our original instructions, to the root basis of all human brain-and-being capacity for communication, to the cradle of the human race, only therein (for where else in that case?) can we reach for and grasp the profoundest understanding of all: how our species was born to live in peace and harmony on the Earth, henceforth, and…?

#804 Thu, 24 Feb 2000 18:36:27 From: Note from tomorrow’s DJ From Vadim, one of the witch doctor duo called Subtle Chaos who will be entrancing us tomorrow night: You see the thing is that if you want to be a psy-trance DJ, you have to do a number of things, most is quite easy and fun: 1. Take l at some point in your life and really enjoy the effect 2. Spend some time in Europe to understand the culture and people or spend some time in California in the sixties 🙂 3. Know the material that you play very well, make sure that it’s psychedelic (see #1) 4. Have some kind of musical education (not neccessarily formal, but you have to have a sense for music) 5. Learn how to mix well and bitmatch (but if you only mix ends of tracks you can also play if you can choose the right moments, tracks etc… what you call “programming”) At the start of goa-trance music, people did not have vinyl simply because the music was never released on it, the first DJs in goa played from regular analog tapes, then went to DAT, just recently CDR that’s when real bitmatching started 🙂 Most of my friends who are working with TIP, Flyhing Rhino and most of well known artists like Marcus, Mark Allen, etc use CDR format. We use it too now (you saw us with a DAT because we couldn’t afford to buy a burner 🙂 Now we only play from CDR. The thing is that you can’t have a decent set with the doof-doof psychedelic music that we like with just only vynil the stuff is unreleased! What we can find from dark psy-trance on vinyl we always try to buy, but it’s just not enough… Hugh ran out of his dark material after about an 1.5 hours and had to play same progressive stuff on the festival, not enough programming I guess 🙂 But that completely sucks if you’re tripping. Why do you think that Goa-Gil can play 7 hours straight with no bitmatching and people come back from his parties like after seeing god? Music has to be good and psychedelic, not progressive, it just doesn’t work for us 🙂 So you can call me whatever you like, I don’t like to be called a DJ actually I have a nice job already 🙂 plus I write music and playing at parties gives me unique opportunity to experiment with sound and this is what I want to do most. I know that you’re a very good DJ technically and we only have 9 months of DJing experience, so no argument here, same with Hugh, he’s very good with vinyl, we suck with turntables, but we are learning!!! maybe psy-trance DJ is not a DJ at all, I’m sure that any good techno/house dj can drive the crowd on E or K to complete madness, but to create a trance experience for people who are sober or on l in a matter of hours can do only those that know what is psychedelic trance and they have no DJ competitions the style of music is more important…
#805 Fri, 25 Feb 2000 03:09:47 From: Elf-inflicted Elf analysis.. or could it be Elf aggrandizement? from Elf-indulgent NYC gee whatever happend to love of music and making the crowd move? i thought djing was about that too, hmmmmmm perhaps im wrong here? i dont care what your track selection is like or your skills, if your heart isn’t into it that will radiate out to the dance floor more then anything. skill is important, yes but its not the only thing. (In a loud, obnoxious rednecky Andrew Dice Clay voice) Take Mega M.E. for example. Mega M.E. has ZERO technical skill but Mega M.E. knows how get them off their lilly white asses. It just goes to show any moron can put on a slamming track and communicate wild take no prisoners energy. Many different types of music can do that better than a lot of schlop in the record stores. Don’t anybody forget that. If your music is meant for smoking a joint and hangin at home, so someplace else, maybe the secret burial ground of Yes, Rush, oh yes Sting, and other thinking mens progressive rock mastodons. Let’s deconstruct this effort. Start with the PEOPLE, and your fingers will know how to twiddle. It’s quite like sex, actually. Make them your bitches (sorry, womyn) but leaders and rock stars are for brainwashed cattle – EAT THE SACRED COW. Just don’t tip it, and spit out the glowsticks before you swallow. It’s simple. If they are not dancing, the DJ sucks. Tonight the DJs will most definitely not suck and will have at the PR Reunion party: Diaper in zXen 10pm-mid, Matthew Tragic mid-1am, and Smelly Chaos until 4am. Yo significo mбs Profundo en Zen, Matteo Magia y Sutil Caos… PS If anybody wants thieir favorite DJ to play at the studios, vote with your email! I am especially interested in those who will attract the “right crowd” (misfit freaks that like to trance dance) and not just someone who wants someone to put a bib on them and assuage some corner of their ego that needs assuaging. Message to DJs: if you suck we will make you drink the water runoff from the showers at la Finca El Cuco AFTER we get someone up there who will really grab us by the ‘rons (that’s neurons, in case you forgot) Having a hard time keeping it unreal? Did you lose your elf control? uhh.. it’s under the couch right by your feet …. . . WAIT DON’T PRESS THA T B U T T O N

Through her seven new site-oriented vid eo sculptures, Kubota continues to explore her interest in mortality and fr iendship. Moving to New York from Japan to join Fluxus, Shigeko Kubota cro ssed paths with the Father of Video Art, Nam June Paik, in the 1960’s. Sinc e then, they have supported eachother’s work in Film and Video through freq uent collaborations. Chief among these is “Allan ‘n’ Allen’s Complaint,” 19 82. Although they were married in 1970, their rally to the introduction of sexual values in hi-art forms can be traced from Kubota’s “Vagina Painting, ” 19 65, performed by Kubota, and Nam June Paik’s “TV Bra,” made renown by Charlotte Moorman. “Sexual Healing” continues Kubota’s objective use of se xually charged content while documenting the everyday life she shares with her husband, Nam June Paik. Kubota has focussed all of her energy on the re habilitation of her husband.since his stroke in 1996. In a loving homage sh e allows the art world to witness their unique relationship and its innovat ions and adaptations to life. Sculptures and industrial banisters set in th e gallery are appropriations of objects that have proliferated the couple’s home and workspace in real life. A funky hospital bed in a corner, an awkw ard wheelchair central to the space, a creation of a clinical hospital wind ow, video flowers, sculptures of the artist and her husband proudly standin g side by side, projections over the entire scene with colorful images of t he pair engaged in daily activities, support a single channel video of Paik flirting with all of his young rehab therapists titled “Sexual Healing.” Over the decades, Kubota has focussed her work on men who have greatly infl uenced her and have won her respect. Her Duchampiana series developed a cri tical homage to Marcel Duchamp during the 70’s and 80’s. Inaugurating Lance Fung Gallery’s new space at 537 Broadway with a 1996 solo exhibition, Kubo ta took George Maciunas, her long time friend, as a focus of the exhibition because the space had originally been Maciunas’s home. Kubota exhibited he r own black and white video footage of Maciunas walking through SoHo in 197 6 intercut with new color video of botanical sites. In Sexual Healing Kubot a employs her customary balance of insight and objectification while execut ing a poignant yet touching homage to a great figure much closer to heart. Although the focus is on love and compassion between two people faced with a significant obstacle the exhibition escapes trivializing this situation, giving us a glimpse at the ingenuity and flexibility necessary to removing barriers within life and art.. Kubota offers this visionary duo’s approach to art as an extension of healing. The concurrent retrospective of Nam Ju ne Paik’s work on view at the uptown Guggenheim Museum in New York allows ” Sexual Healing” a unique added dimension.

#828 Mars 2112 Review Tue, 15 Feb 2000 19:15:51 From: This, from an elder “newbie…” Keep those names comin’ for comps to the 10-4am tranceathon in the Geiger Room at Limelight on Thursday… Thought I’d share somthing with you that I wrote in a five minute stream-of-consciousness burst a few weeks ago: And you watch a sunset and a pixel at the same time, And there’s a moment when the promise of spring sweeps your way, After a winter that was an ocean of pain, And you understand the power the higher path carries, And the joy that comes from coming back to right, And you still regret what could have been, ’cause it’s easy to forget what REALLY could have been, And the song of life and death, the song of evolution, courses through you like a hundred thousand volt stream, And you wonder who’s watching you, and you duck and hide, And you try to let it go without forgetting why you held it so long in the first place, And if you’re lucky, you start to get the slow decline and what it means, And you wonder if the lucky ones are the ones that don’t have time to get it, And realize that the only balance is if you can learn to appreciate what’s still here more than what’s gone, And pray, pray with all your might that it all can really just fade away, And you can heal long enough to let time go by, And you can let go of what you think you need the most, And pray, pray with all your might that you will see another spring. There’s a lot of context here, I realize, and I don’t know why I chose to send this out of all the stuff I’ve written that’s more accessible (and more relevant to our conversations, and more positive for that matter), but I found it just now-I’d forgotten I’d even written it-and I have learned not to question even my most trivial instincts, in this case to include it here. I think in the early part of Saturday evening things were just a tad intense, and I was a little out of sync. Mallon and I hung out in the corner of the Mars Bar for what ended up being a couple of hours, although it only seemed like a couple of minutes. A lot of people had escaped the crowd below up there, and it was pretty cool, and by then I was psyched to come back downstairs. By then I was totally in sync and was in the heart of what it is all about, and was enjoying channeling the ocean of energy being generated. We ended up leaving right around 7, in advance of having to queue up for the wave of bouncer-controlled people again. On top of it all, I had the craziest day on Monday, which is when I was least equipped to deal with it emotionally (in short, I officially became one of the authority figures that you expressed distrust in! a role which is completely counter to my own subversive nature) but it certainly is true that my live has been changing overnight, no? Anyway, please don’t read negatives into any of this (including the free-verse piece above). The Path is not about having warm-happy-comfortable all the time, it’s about remembering to BE the warm-happy-comfortable source and transforming the cold-sad-uncomfortable. And I found that truth on Saturday, and I found that truth on Monday, and I thank Her for the madness of the less traveled path. I know from experience that the common path would leave me with feelings of boredom and regret (which the free-verse piece is partly about. Hey, full circle!) We will talk more soon, I’m sure. Bless all of you (especially you) for opening a door for me into your world, and feel free to share any of my communications with your friends e class “newbie…” Keep those nam es comin’ for comps to the 10-4am tranceathon in the Geiger Room at Limeli hought I’d share somthing with you that I wrote in a five minute stream-o f-consciousness burst a few weeks ago: ou watch a sunset and a pixel at the same time, ialAnd there’s a moment when the promise of spring sweeps your pain, carrie been, ’cause it’s easy to forget what REALLY could have been, courses you wonder who’s watching you, and you duck and hide,you held it so long if you’re lucky, you start to get the slow decline and what it means, wonder if the lucky ones are the ones t hat don’t have time to get it, hat the only balance is if you can learn to appreciate what’s still here m l your might that it all can really just fade you will see another spring. know why I c hose to send this out of all the stuff I’ve written that’s more accessible (and more relevant to our conversations, and more positive for that matte r), but I found it just now-I’d forgotten I’d even written it-and I have l earned not to question even my most trivial instincts, in this case to incl ude it here. ly part of Saturday evening things were just a tad intense, and I was a li ttle out of sync.

I mean…Jamaica Queens!!!??? I really miss the good old days (previous to a year ago) of trance nights at Vinyl where I could take one train to and from the location. Now these events are mad far out in the middle of nowhere and not in the greatest of areas! I was planning to go to Synthetic Sadhus but now I’m definitely going to the E party. It also seems that they’ve upped all the prices and they’re asking $30 for this event and they asked $40 for the Mission to mars event. This is starting to get a bit out of hand.

#838 FW: [trancenews] Synthetic Sadhus Next Friday Sun, 19 Mar 2000 23:23:41 From: Maybe you can forward this to whoever sent you the e-mail below. For an event that is “mad far out in the middle of nowhere”, this couldn’t be any easier to get to. 1/2 a block from the LIRR and the E, F, J and Z. Believe me 144th and Archer is about as far out as you can go, unless they start scheduling these things in St.Albans, but this is a half hour trip max if you’re willing to spring for the $4 plus/minus that LIRR will charge from Penn or Flatbush Ave. Besides trying somthing new won’t hurt you, maybe this venue is as amazing as they say it is. Don’t not go just because of the train. As for the price, I’ve never organized a party, but I don’t think that there are to many places giving away the use of their venues for free, especially not to a bunch of party kids like us, who don’t drink anything but water. Last I heard, DJ’s, lights, sound systems, decorations and the rest of the good stuff all cost money too. Reset your state of mind. Try the party in queens. It might be worth it. Mars was.

#844 Twilo in NY Times Fri, 24 Mar 2000 09:34:47 -0800 From: ” This is NOT an endorsement of Twilo for this Friday – get your sorry ass to AMAZURA tonight for Synthetic Saddhus!! Company Gives Dance Club Patrons A Sound That Transcends Hearing By TED OEHMKE N any weekend night in New Yo rk City, 3,000 twenty-somthings crowd into Twilo, a 10,000-square-foot danclub in the Chelsea neighborhood, to twirl and gyrate to a pulsating tec hno beat until 11 A.M., while thousands more wait outside the club’s West 2 7th Street entrance. But the owners of Twilo, Steve Dash and Phil Smith, h ardly resemble typical New York nightclub impresarios. Dash, 52, is a Vietn am War veteran who feels most comfortable tweaking Twilo’s sound system whi le wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Smith, 56, is given to wearing pastel golf shirts and Docksiders. If anything, they look more like chaperones than clu b owners. The pair not only run Twilo, but in the past 15 years, th rough their affiliated company, Phazon, they have also designed and install ed sound systems in more than 200 dance clubs around the world, have contri buted to five speaker-related patents and have built a reputation among man y as the best sound designers in the club world. And sound, not celebriti es, makes their clubs popular. Twilo is carefully calibrated by Dash to giv e its patrons the visceral experience of music. The result is as much about bodily sensation as it is about hearing. Dash is the technician of the p air. Working with well-known techno-music deejays like Junior Vasquez, Sash a and Carl Cox, Dash has turned Twilo into a showcase for his systems. “I t’s magical because working here, you can really take people to another pla ce,” Cox said. “It’s a bit like creating another world or taking a trip in a spaceship.” That’s a more helpful description than the one provided by Dash. Sitting in one of Twilo’s two deejay booths recently, Dash tried to p ut his magic into words while adjusting the system’s frequencies. “You plus the plus, minus the minus,” he said. “Sometimes you want to make it minus the plus. I don’t want to make it too technical.” Dash learned his trade during the Vietnam War. He had an aptitude for electronics so the Army trai ned him in electrical engineering. In combat, his job was to the radi o waves and microwaves that guided surface-to-air missiles. But his superio rs had him doing double duty fixing their stereos. “The stereos were always getting blown from surges caused by the generators, so for 20 bucks a pop, I’d fix them,” he said. Spending many years after the war “just trying t o get by” in Philadelphia, Dash also did graduate work in electrical engine ering at the University of Pennsylvania. Dissatisfied with a job setting up hotel sound systems that played elevator music, Dash started working on eq uipment for a New York nightclub called the Paradise Garage, where Phil Smi th was one of the owners. Famous for its powerful sound system, the Garage closed in 1985, but Smith and Dash paired up to open the Sound Factory one year later. Smith told Dash to “do whatever he wanted” at Sound Factory. What emerged was a system that set the standard for high-end club sound, an d other club owners wanted the pair to build their systems as well. So Soun d Factory became, literally, that. “During the week, we’d build speakers and other components,” Smith said, “and on weekends we’d sweep away the saw dust and make it a club.” After changes in ownership, Sound Factory reopene d as Twilo in 1995. “People are still promoting their clubs in England by claiming their system is as good as the one at Sound Factory,” said Tim Fi elding, part-owner of a London nightclub called The End. Though The End is a showcase for a competing English sound company, Thunder Ridge, Fielding t ips his hat to Dash. “They may not know his name,” he said, “but people in the club world know that the guy who developed that system is a genius.” Dash and Smith are currently working on three new systems, one for a club i n Sydney, Australia, and two for clubs in Britain. “Our systems are strictl y for a type of dance music known as techno or trance music,” Smith said. ” That’s all we’ve ever focused on, and that’s why we’ve become popular.” P opular, but not cheap. The average system costs $170,000. Phazon was recent ly awarded a $500,000 contract to design and install the sound system for a London club called Home. “Whether we do a club or not depends on the vibe they have, what kind of deejays they are booking and the budget they’re goi ng to give us,” Smith said. The first step is to analyze the room. While conductors have been known to walk around a room clapping to measure reverb eration, Dash sets off an electronic device called a bomb, which produces a nd then measures an array of sounds. That data, along with detailed informa tion about the room’s surfaces, is plugged into a program that produces a c olor scheme of the room’s acoustical values. Much the way a doctor might analyze a CAT scan, Dash looks over the report and decides what is best for that room. Dark areas on the screen indicate problems excessive reverbe ration in one corner or uneven sound distribution.

Sampling from three turntables, Sasha uses a mixe r to control not only which frequencies are emphasized but also the area of the room the sound goes to. As if to demonstrate, Sasha silences the room around 3 A.M. As the crowd quiets, people hear a high-pitched chirp.

H2Company Gives Dance Club Patrons A Sound That Transcends Hearing/NYTHEADLINE!BYLINENYTBYLI H5By TED OEHMKE /H5/NYTBYLINE!T ics.nytimes/images/o.gifN any weekend night in New York City, 3,000 twenty-somthings crowd into Twilo, a 10,000-square-foot dance club in the Chelsea neighborhood, to twirl and gyrate to a pulsating techno beat unti l 11 A.M., while thousands more wait outside the club’s West 27th Street e ntrance. But the owners of Twilo, Steve Dash and Phil Smith, hardly res emble typical New York nightclub impresarios. Dash, 52, is a Vietnam War v eteran who feels most comfortable tweaking Twilo’s sound system while wear ing jeans and a T-shirt. Smith, 56, is given to wearing pastel golf shirts and Docksiders. If anything, they look more like chaperones than club own ers. The pair not only run Twilo, but in the pa st 15 years, through their affiliated company, Phazon, they have also desi gned and installed sound systems in more than 200 dance clubs around the w orld, have contributed to five speaker-related patents and have built a re putation among many as the best sound designers in the club world. And sound, not celebrities, makes their clubs popular. Twilo is carefully cal ibrated by Dash to give its patrons the visceral experience of music. The result is as much about bodily sensation as it is about hearing. Dash i s the technician of the pair. Working with well-known techno-music deejays like Junior Vasquez, Sasha and Carl Cox, Dash has turned Twilo into a sho wcase for his systems. “It’s magical because working here, you can real ly take people to another place,” Cox said. “It’s a bit like creating anot her world or taking a trip in a spaceship.” That’s a more helpful desc ription than the one provided by Dash. Sitting in one of Twilo’s two deeja y booths recently, Dash tried to put his magic into words while adjusting the system’s frequencies. “You plus the plus, minus the minus,” he said. ” Sometimes you want to make it minus the plus. I don’t want to make it too technical.” Dash learned his trade during the Vietnam War. He had an ap titude for electronics so the Army trained him in electrical engineering. In combat, his job was to the radio waves and microwaves that guided surface-to-air missiles. But his superiors had him doing double duty fixi ng their stereos. “The stereos were always getting blown from surges cause d by the generators, so for 20 bucks a pop, I’d fix them,” he said. Sp ending many years after the war “just trying to get by” in Philadelphia, D ash also did graduate work in electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Dissatisfied with a job setting up hotel sound systems that p layed elevator music, Dash started working on equipment for a New York nig htclub called the Paradise Garage, where Phil Smith was one of the owners. Famous for its powerful sound system, the Garage closed in 1985, but Smit h and Dash paired up to open the Sound Factory one year later. Smith t old Dash to “do whatever he wanted” at Sound Factory. What emerged was a s ystem that set the standard for high-end club sound, and other club owners wanted the pair to build their systems as well. So Sound Factory became, literally, that. “During the week, we’d build speakers and other compon ents,” Smith said, “and on weekends we’d sweep away the sawdust and make i t a club.” After changes in ownership, Sound Factory reopened as Twilo in 1995. “People are still promoting their clubs in England by claiming th eir system is as good as the one at Sound Factory,” said Tim Fielding, par t-owner of a London nightclub called The End. Though The End is a showcase for a competing English sound company, Thunder Ridge, Fielding tips his h at to Dash. “They may not know his name,” he said, “but people in the club world know that the guy who developed that system is a genius.” Dash and Smith are currently working on three new systems, one for a club in Sy dney, Australia, and two for clubs in Britain. “Our systems are strictly fo r a type of dance music known as techno or trance music,” Smith said. “Tha t’s all we’ve ever focused on, and that’s why we’ve become popular.” P opular, but not cheap. The average system costs $170,000. Phazon was recen tly awarded a $500,000 contract to design and install the sound system for a London club called Home. “Whether we do a club or not depends on the vib e they have, what kind of deejays they are booking and the budget they’re going to give us,” Smith said. The first step is to analyze the room. While conductors have been known to walk around a room clapping to measure reverberation, Dash sets off an electronic device called a bomb, which pr oduces and then measures an array of sounds. That data, along with detaile d information about the room’s surfaces, is plugged into a program that pr oduces a color scheme of the room’s acoustical values. Much the way a doctor might analyze a CAT scan, Dash looks over the report and decides wh at is best for that room. Dark areas on the screen indicate problems ex cessive reverberation in one corner or uneven sound distribution. A pink s creen means that all 3,000 patrons of Twilo should experience the sound in the same way. Map in hand, Dash then calculates which speakers are bes t for the room and designs them on a CAD program. A contract factory in Ph iladelphia then uses high-tech computerized saws to make them. “Gettin g those missiles to hit their targets was a hell of a lot easier than gett ing a room to sound right,” Dash said.

#845 Tsunami NYTimes article from ’98 Fri, 24 Mar 2000 09:35:09 -0800 From: ” New Invader on the Dance Floor By SIMON REYNOLDS he Esperanto of electroni c dance music, trance is probably the most popular rave sound in the world. Although this kinetic, hypnotic music has maintained a presence on the Ame rican rave scene since the style emerged in the mid-90’s, trance seems to b e rising to a new level of prominence in this country. Where early trance was generally harsh, minimal and coldly cosmic, more recent strains of the genre emphasize melody, recognizably human emotions and a warmly devotional aura. All this makes trance a populist, accessible alternative to the expe rimental abstraction of hip rave styles like techno and drum-and-bass. In p articular, trance’s dewey-eyed sentimentalism seems to be attracting younge r American ravers who are still in the honeymoon phase of using Ecstasy, an illicit d that many users believe heightens feelings of tenderness and empathy. Encouraged by the expanding American audience for trance, Paul Oakenfold, Britain’s leading mainstream trance DJ, has launched an off ensive on these shores, with regular club tours and the major-label release of his CD “Tranceport.” The German trance pioneer Paul Van Dyk also releas ed not one but two albums in America this fall. And there’s a growing follo wing for the fiercer underground style known as psychedelic trance, with a flurry of parties in New York and the start of an American offshoot by the English label Blue Room Released. Trance’s roots lie in the pulsating met ronomic rhythms of Eurodisco, a sound pioneered by the Munich-based produce r Giorgio Moroder in 1977 and popularized by his protege Donna Summer. But trance really emerged as a distinct subgenre of rave music in Berlin and Fr ankfurt around 1993. Some aficionados identify “Visions of Shiva,” a 1992 c ollaboration between Van Dyk and the producer Cosmic Baby, as the first tra nce tune. Another seminal track was the group Hardfloor’s “Hardtrance Acper ience” (1992), which resurrected the classic Roland 303 bass synthesiser so und of the late 80’s genre called acid house. With its squeaky timbre and s naking patterns, the 303 remains a trance staple, driving dancers into a Di onysian frenzy. Recently voted the world’s No. 1 DJ in an industry poll c onducted by the English dance magazine DJ, Oakenfold is famous for his role in kickstarting Britain’s rave movement with his 1988 acid house club, Spe ctrum. Having dominated British club culture for a decade, Oakenfold is now directing his energy toward America. For the next two years, he plans to p lay at least 50 DJ dates a year in America. On the recording front, “Trance port,” a collection of trance tracks by various artists mixed and blended b y Oakenfold, has just been released by the Reprise subsidiary Kinetic, alon gside the group Binary Finary’s single, “1998,” the year’s biggest trance a nthem. “Tranceport” features Van Dyk’s remix of “1998.” Van Dyk’s two album s, “45 Rpm” (1994) and “Seven Ways” (1996), sold so well as imports that th ey have recently been released domestically by Novamute; his new album, “Av enue of Stars,” will follow next May. Despite its crowd-pleasing power, t rance tends to be despised by dance cognoscenti, who prefer more avant-gard e styles like techno (a synthesizer- and drum-based instrumental music) and jungle (a hyperkinetic hybrid of hip-hop and reggae). These hipsters regar d overt melody and explicit emotion (both of which trance features in abund ance) as “cheesy” that is to say, too close to normal pop music. In cont rast, Van Dyk talks of trying “to create little songs, not just rhythm trac ks” and stresses the importance of expressing feelings through music. Where techno and jungle producers use terminology from astrophysics or biogeneti cs in the titles of their tracks, Van Dyk’s most famous anthem, “For an Ang el,” was inspired by meeting his girlfriend. Trance’s melodramatic expressi veness often makes it verge on being a computer-era update of 19th-century symphonic music. In a similar quest for harmoniousness, Oakenfold doesn’t s imply synchronize tracks by tempo but combines them according to musical ke y, arrangement and dynamics. Trance comes in several subgenres. As well a s the lushly textured, lovey-dovey end of the spectrum represented by Oaken fold and Van Dyk, there’s also a more bombastic strain of trance pioneered by labels like Noom along with a ferocious variant known as filthy acid tec hno that’s popular in Britain’s underground network of illegal raves in aba ndoned buildings. But the most significant subgenre is psychedelic trance. Where Oakenfold and Van Dyk’s brand of trance favors wistful, naive melodie s, psychedelic trance features ornate riffs and mandala-swirly patterns, pl us an array of sonic effects that mimic l-induced sensations like synesth esia and quicksilver light-trails. The sound is rising in popularity on bot h the East and West Coasts of America. In New York, promoters like Tsunami and In-Trance-It hold parties with increasing regularity. Vain, a downtown club, holds a weekly psychedelic night, and House of Trance, a record store in the Village, is devoted to the genre. Psychedelic trance was original ly associated with Goa in South West India, the d-and-dance paradise tha t lures raver tourists from across the world. By 1996, clubs had sprung up throughout Europe offering a surrogate version of the Goa experience. In Se ptember 1996, the promoter John Emmanuel Gartmann held America’s first psyc hedelic trance rave, Return to the Source a now legendary party at the L iberty Science Center in Jersey City. These days Gartmann’s company, Tsunam i, holds a psychedelic party every second Friday at Vinyl, a club in TriBeC a. In the beginning, Tsunami events drew a crowd that was 80 percent Euro pean expatriates, members of what Gartmann calls “the international traveli ng set” nomads who spend the winter party season going to raves in India and Thailand. For a long time, the only Americans at Tsunami parties, it s eemed, were students from Harvard, Princeton and Yale. “My only explanation is that maybe they’d traveled a lot during their vacations,” Gartmann said . Now Tsunami parties consist of 60 percent American ravers, who are turnin g on, tuning in and dropping in on the psychedelic scene because of its eup horic energy. Psychedelic trance parties simulate the Goa experience as c losely as possible. In India, parties on the beach or in the jungle run fro m sunset to dawn, whereupon dancers pick up flutes and conches to invoke th e sun. In this spirit, Tsunami raves are structured so that the music progr esses from “night music” (hard and sinister) through spiritually uplifting “sunrise music” to the sheer elation of “morning music.” The fashion and decor that accompany psychedelic trance also originated in India. “We like to get dressed up for the festival,” said Gartmann. “Women get adorned. The y look like goddesses. It’s a celebration, an honoring, infused with the sp iritual energy of India.” Dancers wear fluorescent-patterned clothes that g low under ultraviolet light, T-shirts decorated with fractal-like patterns and sweat pants made of paisley and tie-dyed fabric. Some women adopt a bea ch bum look (white halter-tops, hair swept away from the face using white p lastic sunglasses), accessorized with luminous nose rings, bracelets and bi ndis. Fluorescent face-paint and hair dye are also popular. For men, a comm on look is the unshaven backpacker style. At Tsunami’s parties, the walls a nd ceilings are covered with gaudy streamers, papier-mache sculptures of ma gic Fungi, butterfly mobiles and retina-scorching mandala tapestries. As might be expected from the name, the psychedelic trance scene is surrou nded by neo-hippy rhetoric, a syncretic mish-mash of mystical notions drawn from Buddhism, Hinduism and other non-Western religions. As such, it reson ates with the vogue for Eastern spirituality in late-90’s pop culture, from the Beasties Boys’ devotion to Tibetan Buddhism to Madonna’s flirtation wi th the kabbalah and yoga. Coincidentally, Madonna’s latest album, “Ray of L ight,” is steeped in the influence of the poppier end of trance, courtesy o f its producer, William Orbit. Eddie Bang, who works at the New York tech no store Satellite, says that for psychedelic trance fans the music itself is like a religion. “They’re tribally devoted to the scene,” he said. In ma ny respects, they are like Deadheads, another movement of mostly white, mid dle-class youths drawn to gaudy neo-hippy clothing, trance-dancing and trip ping on hallucinogens like l and Ecstasy. SPIRITUAL vibes and loud colo rs aside, what makes the psychedelic scene so attractive to its devotees is the joyous frenzy of the crowd, which bounces and flails with a fervor rar ely seen on New York dance floors. And although the music is generally held in critical disdain, psychedelic trance can be exhilirating. Performing li ve at Tsunami’s recent Totally Twisted rave, the British producer Hallucino gen transported the dancers into a sonic maelstrom of phosphorescent filigr ee. Where many trance artists are minimalists, Hallucinogen is a maximalist . His tracks are continually morphing; every couple of bars, a new arpeggia ted riff comes writhing out of the amazingly intricate mix. Because of it s Teutonic roots, trance is sometimes criticized as an unfunky form of danc e music. In trance, creativity does operate largely on the level of melody and layering of texture rather than rhythm (the usual province of dance mus ic). But adventurous producers like Hallucinogen are expanding trance’s rhy thmic palette of clockwork beats and chugging bass lines by weaving in dub reggae-style echo effects and speeded-up hip-hop beats. From the growing so phistication of the music to the irresistible energy it catalyzes on the da nce floor, psychedelic trance is ready to explode into wider popular consci ousness. e H2Ne w Invader on the Dance Floor/NYTHEADLINE!BYLINENYTBYLINE v H5By SIMON REYNOLDS /H5/NYTBYLINE!T ics.nytimes/images/t.gifhe Esperanto of electronic dance music, tranis probably the most popular rave sound in the world.

TIKI TORCH BAN LIFTED in limited areas The Tiki Torch Plan for BM2000 is an experiment in community responsibility, and, as a first year experiment is restricted as to location and application. LOCATION: Like fire barrels in the past, tiki torches are restricted at BM2000 to the esplanade, villages, and to the open playa,including at 2 and 10 o’clock. This means the outer rim of the city, NOT the inner residential areas. BM00 Tiki torch guidelines: 1) All Tiki torches must be firmly anchored to the ground with rebar. 2) Tiki torches must have at least 10 feet of clear space around them, especially no tents or flammable material within that space. 3) If winds pick up, all Tiki torches must be put out immediately. 4) Tiki torches must be put out at the request of any Ranger or Fire official. 5) If found unattended while lit, they may be extinguished and/or confiscated if there is a sufficient hazard. The following areas are acceptable for Tiki torch placement: only in/along the esplanade, center camp circle, villages, two o’clock, 10 o’clock, neptune (or whatever the last road will be called for BM00) and the open playa. All who agree and abide by these applications will be allowed to enhance their space with the ambiance of the tiki.

Welcome to the Jack Rabbit Speaks….etc….142 days until the start of Burning Man. Ticket info below, Space Lounge Party and Reno Pot Luck this weekend. Cafe call for volunteers and staff! ” – 0 – Trace” Candy tins make good portable ashtrays. Keep one in your pocket and one at your camp.

The Center Camp Caf, previously known as the Caf Temps Perdu, is being reborn this year with a far greater vision than in past years both in physical scale and in mission. To accommodate our larger city population, in the planning is a massive shade structure filling most of the center circle, with special themed “rooms”, spoken-word and acoustic music stages, and a far-increased staff during the event. We need your help to make the Caf a true gathering point for our community! +++ NEEDED NOW +++ Artists – The caf will be an oasis of art and culture in the American desert. We need this art, along with artistic help with the structure. Decorators – Parts of the structure will have defined themes: an ancient middle eastern coffee house, a Chinese tea room, an English Caf from the 1800th century (A Penny University), and a fourth time periodpossibly the future. We need a volunteer for each of these spaces to make them their personal creations at Burning Man, and to bring the “rooms” alive. Electricians and lighting designers – Our structure will be only as impressive as our lighting makes it at night. It’s going to require both a technically skilled hand and an artistic mind to make the Caf a city landmark, and a comfortable place for citizens to hang out, talk, and meet one another. help. +++ NEEDED IN THE WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT +++ Builders – Strong arms, an innovative mind and the ability to work hard and long in desert conditions. Engineers and architects are especially sought and will have fun building the epic and innovative structure we are planning. If you’d like to help build the Caf in the desert, please fill out aVolunteer Questionnaire, web burningman/events/volunteer/volunteer.form.html +++ DURING THE EVENT WE WILL NEED +++ Baristas – Are you the fastest Barista at your local caf? Think you can handle any rush? We have rushes like few cafes have ever seen, and need people who were born behind a three group espresso machine. Counter People – These volunteers pour coffee, take orders, and run around like the world is ending in the service of getting everyone their drinks. We need a staff who, along with partying hard and having fun, is willing to work hard. Espresso equipment technicians – Espresso equipment has a nasty habit of not dealing well with dust. We need someone on the radio at all times to rush in and save the day when our machines go down when 500 eager participants await their coffee. Recycling help – The Caf produces many tons of coffee grounds, empty paper cups and plastic containers, all of which can be recycled or burned. We need help processing these items, and for this we need folks who are willing to dive right in and make themselves useful. It’s a hard job, but is at the very core of what the Cafe and Burning Man are all about. Entertainers – The Caf as the center of culture at Burning Man needs to be alive with music and artistic endeavor. We need musicians, storytellers, poets, dancers, and all those who express their spirit freely. There will be no Center Stage, but rather a number of small intimate stages spread about the Caf for acoustic music and spoken word performances. If interested in helping out during the event, fill out a Volunteer Questionnaire, web burningman/events/volunteer/volunteer.form.html or contact +++ OTHER NEEDS +++ We always in need of inexpensive building materials and other mishmash, especially bamboo and flag materials. If you have an especially good source for these, be sure to pass it along to us! We’re also looking for an additional 25,000-sq. ft. of Astroturf to make our Caf comfortable. Somewhere on this coast is a football field that is throwing away piles of old Astroturf, and we need to find it! In the past we have used vendors who were not part of the Burning Man community for the Cafe. This went greatly against the grain of the project’s spirit, and we are trying our best to find a commercial coffee roaster, equipment supplier and small dairy from the extended population of Black Rock City. Please contact us ASAP if you have a lead for us here. For more details, or to offer expertise, building materials, or vendor Here’s your resource page for information: web burningman/events/volunteer/cafe.html Tickets Update Ticket sales have been steady since we re-opened the ticket window last Friday.

#879 MOMA special art event april 20 Sun, 16 Apr 2000 13:18:31 From: For Immediate Release Contact Person: Cindy Tower (718) 386-4531 3 April 2000 -C H E C K E D- -A collaborative -Art Show -Of Checked Coats -Featuring Work -By 40 Artists -At -Museum Of Modern Art (M.O.M.A.) -11 West 53rd Street -New York, NY 10019 -Good Friday, -21 April 2000, 6-8 pm On Good Friday, April 21, 2000, 6-8 pm, 40 artists will check their artwork inside their coats, into the MOMA coat room. The playful intent of the project is to locate an artistic happening somewhere in the vast physical and abstracted chasm between the artist’s imaginations and the brick and mortar institutions that ratify and reify their creative ambitions. The show will simultaneously occupy the most public and the most private of spaces. The event occurs inside the walls of one of the most visible of all art cathedrals, but it exists most tangibly inside the heads, or rather the coats of the participating artists, unseen by 99% of MOMA’s visitors. The “audience” for the show will consist almost exclusively of the artists themselves and their immediate circle of friends. Checked’s further intent is to “sanctify” the “exhibited” work in much the same way religious institutions sanctify relics by palcing them in the shrouded cavities of their most holy sites. The relocation of the art objects in Checked to this holy site will contribute to their beautification, for they will become seasoned with meaning, metaphor and historic significance. While the major theme is that of transubstantiation, sub themes include longing, loss, accessibility, inclusiveness. Checked can’t help but be a comfy viewing experience since the whole show exists only in the minds of it’s willing collaborators.

#891 To: “Bx” brainmachines at egroupsHere is the Ultimate Weirdness on Saturday Sat, 22 Apr 2000 13:52:25 From: Tonight outside of philly. I will be at the Frying Pan though, into the fire On Behalf Of Doctor M Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2000 5:20 AM To: M Laboratories Cuckoo Map Point A few notes: Please don’t wear bright colors/white before we get you inside the event perimiter. We suggest you put your party clothes and shoes in a bag and bring them along so they don’t attract attention and so they don’t get soggy, muddy, and gross to wear. There will be changing rooms. Bring warm clothes and rain gear (umbrella, poncho, or the like). At points, you may be standing outside. Hypothermia is no fun. Bring flouro anything. If you want to paint a wall, feel free. You may want to bring a snack. Water and granola will be provided. Exploring the institution is not a good idea, especially if you’re chemically altered. It’s dank, dark, rusty, creepy, spooky, huge, scary, wet, nasty, and you’ll probably get lost and wish you were dead. Please don’t go where you can’t hear the music, or you may not come back at all. Have fun; dance! By car: Via NJ Turnpike: Take the turnpike to the Ben Franklin Bridge. Go over the bridge and get on 95 north. Follow directions below. From Center City & points south: Take I-95 north to Academy Road (about 15 minutes outside of Center City). On Academy, stay in right-hand lanes. You’ll pass through some lights, and then you’ll reach an intersection with a Texaco on one side and a Merit on the other. Pull into the parking lot behind the Merit (not the Merit itself). As you pull in to the lot, flash your lights once or twice. Park your car and walk towards the deli. By train, bus, boat, plane, etc. Both the bus terminal and the train stations are in close proximity to the Market-Frankford subway line (aka “the El” or the blue line). Buy 4 subway tokens. Get on the blue line going east to Frankford. Walk towards the front of the train. Get off at the last stop. Walk downstairs, out the turnstiles, and look for the person with the black and red stovepipe (cat in the hat) hat under the covered area near Dunkin Donuts. If you want, you can show them your egg. Otherwise, you can just ask for directions to Cuckoo. Listen carefully. See you tonight!

#900 T.N.S. & D.D.A.L. Wed, 26 Apr 2000 14:42:37 From: “sElf Trance Former” It’s that time of year again, campers! Roll up your sleeves, roll up some fatty, and meet up at the Million Marijuana March with: TOOLZ of the NEW SCHOOL! Our other favorite parade (besides Halloween, naturally) kicks off Saturday, May 6, 2000, at 1 p.m. departing from in front of Toolz HQ at Broadway & Houston, going down Broadway to Battery Park. The Pot Parade rocks because d decriminalization is a cause we heartily support, and as far as crowd situations in NYC go, the marchers are the most diverse, positive, and excitable. (Funny how enjoying being high crosses all barriers like that) Previous years’ themes were a float honoring Fast Ricky, the Most Punctual Weed Dealer in NYC, for his “30 minutes or it’s on us” Sales Policy. Last year, everyone dressed as blatant undercover cops carrying a banner reading “National Young People’s Deployment of the North American Reefer Coalition” (NYPD NARC!), wherein we harassed stoned marchers for “Mary Jane cigarettes” and asked if we could buy some bonghits off the kids. The NYPD plainclothes appreciated our efforts at policing, though they did not approve of our raining Cheetos off the roof of Toolz HQ onto the gathering crowd as a celebratory munchie kick off. Or so they might have told us between walkie-talkie whacks if they had caught up while chasing us down the back stairs and out of our own building. This year’s Parade theme is…drum roll? d DEALERS AGAINST LEGALIZATION I mean, who’s really winning the War On ds, anyway? Let’s befuddle the clueless activists, support the police and the prohibition laws, and have fun dressing as our favorite types of d dealers to make a powerful statement and a very funny group: -People in Suits as the Mafia, Colombian, and Pharmaceutical Industry kingpins who pull the strings. These people could also have bodyguards and assistants. Metal briefcases & cellphones would be ideal. -Street hustlers. “Smoke? Sense?” guys. Shady and typical, in dirty clothes, rastafarian caps, sunglasses. -School dealers. The popular hippie dude that you hung with in your dorm just because he got you high for a while until he asked you to buy some of your own, at which point you hung with your real friends. -That also goes for the high school “bad boy”/”bad girl” type who first started being cool, smoking cigarettes, staying out late, and selling dope to the swim team. -Raver kids, obvious and careless with dealing. “X?? You need X? Anyone here need X?” Glow colors, colored corduroys, face glitter, a hip backpack. -Why not go all the way and wear a trenchcoat and fedora, offering poison on the corner like a 50’s d film? You can dress however you want!! Help keep our prices and customers high! Have fun, and remember: Their first one is free. We’ll posse up on Saturday, May 6th, at 12:30 p.m. sharp at the South East corner of Broadway & Houston, in front of the DKNY Building, Toolz HQ. We will have a dDEALERS banner to convene under, and the parade departs from Broadway & Houston at 1 p.m. promptly. NOTE that due to the NYPD’s wizardry with crowd control, they are fond of relocating gathering marchers across the street, in the subway, etc., just to quell a revolutionary uprising for a couple of minutes. We may well get moved by NY’s finest, but will be in the intersection with a dDEALERS AGAINST LEGALIZATION BANNER nearby. Just look for the stoners in suits! The Parade officially gathers between 11 and 12 on the South Street of Washington Square Park, and departs from Broadway & Houston at 1 p.m. After the parade, we will reconvene for a Puff Party!! Location details to be dispersed at the March. Due to last year’s Cheetos Incident, we will have to rescind our open invitation to police officers everywhere. We will be asking everyone if they are a cop before approving admittance, we know our rights and that narcs are like vampires, they can’t do anything unless you invite them in. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to write back to ToolzRules at aol Also checkout web curesnotwars.org This float is presented in conjunction with the SURF COMEDY FESTIVAL, showcasing the finest of New York’s alternative comedy scene. This is a demonstration, a stunt, a performance, and a party all rolled into one! The Surf festival kicks off May 1st, 2000, and features performers such as Upright Citizens Brigade, Toolz of the New School, TV Head, Rob Paravonian, Epstein & Hassan, Rob Shapiro, Grindhouse a-go-go, voodoolulu, and tons more!

We encourage you to get your order in now, and if you place your envelope in the mail on Saturday we recommend you include a $20 “insurance” check for the next highest level. Past experience indicates procrastination is common amongst Burning Man ticket purchasers, and we expect to sell all remaining $145 tickets before Monday, May 1st.

BLM – EA FOR BURNING MAN OUT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW Burning Man is now in the middle of our permit process. We’ve participated in public scoping meetings (see JRS:V4: #10), and from them public comments have been incorporated into the Environmental Assessment document written by the BLM. The EA will be available for public comment and review for 30 days. We have applied to move our event site 10 miles north from where we the event was held in 1998 and 1999. The Proposed Site is on the Black Rock Desert off the 11-mile entrance. Those who have experienced Burning Man 1996 and before know this entrance. The gate will be 1.5 miles from the entrance, the gate road will be about 1.5 miles to Greeters. The spot is greatly improved over the 98/99 site. We WILL be far away from the railroad tracks. We WILL be in a spot not as prone to dampness, and which has better drainage should there be light rain. We WILL be in a spot with a better playa entrance and exit road to improve the exodus process. We WILL be able to control our boundaries better from gate crashing. If you have the time, and are inclined towards public comment on things of this nature we encourage you to contribute thoughtful remarks to the BLM. This is an open public process and others outside of the Burning Man community will be commenting on our move. There has been a perception by others that we will be restricting use of the land, but we will be using only 5 square miles of the 400 square miles available for use. We will be minimizing and compacting our time lines to the extent possible. All other users will be allowed to enter and exit the playa without interacting with our “gate”. The Burning Man 2000 Draft Environmental Assessment has been posted to the BLM Winnemucca Field Office website at: web nv.blm.gov/Winnemucca. (you’ll notice other Burning Man related information they’ve posted) The due date for comments is May 30, 2000. Comments by either letter or Email are acceptable at the following addresses: For letters: Les Boni BLM-Winnemucca Field Office 5100 E. Winnemucca Blvd. Winnemucca, NV 89445 Be nice. The BLM is being nice, our permit is not endanger, but we DO want to move the site to this vastly improved location. Say any supportive remarks you can make with regard to the site move will be appreciated. THE RANGERS (INCLUDING GATE AND PERIMETER) ARE RECRUITING Ranger Director Duane Hoover (Big Bear) reminds one and all that the Black Rock Rangers are in an active recruiting mode at the moment, and that applicants are welcome to enjoy Burning Man 2000 from the very special perspective afforded to those chosen to be a Black Rock Ranger. Rangers are empowered in the “Art of Rangering”, and experience Burning Man as participants who make a difference. The Black Rock Rangers are dedicated to the safety, welfare, and quality of experience of the participants of Burning Man and the citizens of Black Rock City. Armed with radios that plug into the very lifeblood of Black Rock City, Rangers act as a resolute thin khaki line, riding the edge of chaos. It is not a position for everyone, but, if it is a position for you, don’t cheat yourself out of the best way for you to be apart of the Burning Man community and to experience the Burning Man event by not applying. The Rangers walk (or bike ride) the streets of Black Rock City, meet people entering our city at the Gate, work the Perimeter security as vehicle mobile Ranger Scouts, assist in medical, fire, and crisis intervention duties,and more. So, if you are intelligent, have your shit together, enjoy interacting with people, and always want to be part of the solution (and never part of the problem), then the Black Rock Rangers are the place for you to contribute to the community. To gather more information, visit the Ranger web site at web rangers dot org or fill out a Ranger application under Volunteers at web burningman/events/volunteer/rangers.html Once you have been touched by the life force of Black Rock City, you will never be quite the same. LARRY HARVEY’S 1999 BURNING MAN DESERT SPEECH Hey, I know I asked this in the past, and here I am asking this again. DID ANYONE tape Larry Harvey’s Burning Man Speech at the 1999 desert event? I know you’re out there. We would really really really really REALLY like a copy. I will trade my special limited edition lighter and another toy of your choice for a copy of that speech. An AUDIO tape would be acceptable. AND, I made this call for a tape in October, and at that time no one answered, but THREE people said they could transcribe it for me. I FAILED to put your email addresses in a safe place, and we need help transcribing a tape of another lecture. SO, if you are still out there and would like to help, we could use you right about NOW. hit reply, now. 😉 thank you…in advance. BTW, Larry says he won’t be doing a speech at the event this year. In case you were going to ask what day..don’t. I think we might be able to change his mind, we’ll see. UFOs and more. This is when things get interesting in life. I’ve received a number of emails since last year’s event about two particular things that stumped a number of people. One was seen in the night sky before midnight on Wednesday evening. There appeared to be a number of very large meteors entering the atmosphere. If you were there with us you experienced a collective “OH!”, and maybe looked up in time to see the final part of the trail of several large pieces of “somthing”. I’ve heard back from a few people with plausible explanations, all similar to the one I received below (see email from Scotland) which articulated things best. So, there you go, that mystery is solved. Then, there are those of you who insist they saw a flying saucer the night of the Burn. Now, we all know that Burning Man is an event dedicated to radical self expression, and anyone KNOWS that to think there was a UFO in the classic sense of the word at Burning Man could really chuckle and figure someone was fooled REALLY GOOD! Check out FOX TV on Thursday night. 9 pm on the Left Coast, so I assume same time-ish East Coast. Looks like it’s available for all Fox Affiliates: fox.newsdigital.net/corporate/schedule/0,2,00.html That’d be: “UFOs: Best Evidence Ever Caught on Tape 2” I’m interested to see how this plays out. The producers of this show literally spammed 100s of Burning Man participants, discussion lists and burningman organizers emails looking for verification of this UFO. I tried to convince them otherwise, and finally gave up. Let’s just say we’re allowing them to wallow in their own ignorance. Kudos to the artist!! [HOWEVER, Erik H., who sold the video to Kiviat Productions owes Burning Man AND the artist some Moola, and we’re on our way to his door thanks to the fact that Lightning (our lawyer) is exactly that. Naughty, naughty selling footage taken at Burning Man without permission…..no one likes exploitation] Gads, who’s zooming who?

We witnessed it, as did hundreds of others… but we can’t remember if it was Wednesday or Thursday before the burn. Anyway, after stumbling on a new web resource, a Scot who monitors satellite re-entries, I received this information for your reading pleasure. I’d love to hear of other witness accounts. PeteDear Mr. Pickup, Forgive this query, and feel free to ignore this if you are over-burdened with such requests. I only recently found your Satevo website, which is exactly the resource I was looking for to answer this question. While camping in the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada (N 40 deg 42.15′ W -119 deg 19.00′) on the evening of September 2, 1999, sometime between 7-9 pm, we observed a fireball cross the sky, moving from WNW to ESE. Clearly this was some large object entering the atmosphere, it moved silently from horizon to horizon over about 3 minute period. Do you records report any artificial satellite reentry at this time and location? Hi Pete, Could this have been on the evening of September 1? If so, I’m sure you saw the re-entry of the Raduga 104 auxiliary motor. This was an upper stage rocket motor that had been used in the launch a Russian military communications satellite on 1999 February 28. The main launcher had been a Proton rocket and this was one of a pair of subsidiary rockets used to boost the payload from low Earth orbit towards its final position in geostationary orbit over the equator. When it was first tracked after launch, the “aux motor” was in an orbit stretching out to 36335 km from the Earth but with its low-point (perigee) only 193 km high. Over the next few months, the gravitation pull of the Sun and (mainly) the Moon, made the orbit even more elongated, so that the perigee dipped lower still and it began to suffer strong atmospheric resistance. This had the main effect of bringing the high-point (apogee) down rapidly. The final orbit that US Space Command published for this is timed at 03:01 UTC on September 2 (20:01 PDT on September 1) and shows the apogee at 887 km and the perigee at only 98 km (and over the N Pacific). It re-entered on the following orbit, producing a spectacular fireball that (I calculate) crossed the N California coast at 21:26 PDT, passed about 300 km NE of at 21:27 PDT on a track that would have taken it a similar distance SW of San Antonio, Texas, five minutes later. It was widely observed from Oregon, N California and Nevada.

Q: How will I find my friends once I get there? A: There are several resources you can use to locate them. If they have a theme camp and you know the name of the camp, the Greeters, which you will encounter after you have passed through our gate, will have information regarding their location. Check Point Salon, the Burning Man Directory and the Burning Bell Message Center, located in Center Camp, will also have information on specific camp locations. Check Point Salon (our Information Booth) maintains a list of all Theme Camps and has paper maps. The Burning Man Directory is a real “directory” (like the phone book) of ALL participants who want to use the service. Burning Bell Message Center will have a large Find-A-Camp board for flyers and offers a paper based messaging service. If you don’t know the name of the camp, or if your friends are not with a specific camp, you can go to the Burning Man Directory and the Burning Bell Message Center in Center Camp. Look for a flyer posted for you on the bulletin board, look up your friends’ names, and leave a message and/or get a message that might have been left for you. There will be helpful staff at all facilities. Check Point Salon and the Directory will be running from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM beginning Saturday, August 26th. The help desk at Burning Bell will be staffed from about 8 AM to 9 PM at night beginning on Monday, August 28. Another Message Brought To You By the Friendly People with the Community Services Department at Burning Man. 😉 FUNKMOBILE Calling on funky people of the playa, The Funkmobile, which rolled across the “sands” of Burning Man last year, spreading the gospel of James Brown and The Funky Meters this same Funkmobile that moved booties all up and down that bad betty needs you! If you play sax, trumpet or trombone, you may qualify to be a part of this cosmically funky endeavor. We need players with chops that are willing to deck themselves in outrageous extra stellar outfits to help us get the Mothership off the ground. We need players that are committed to making it tight and funky, just like James would have it. We need players who can learn 20+ songs with all the hits. (Hit me!) The other thing is that we play A LOT when we’re out there, so expect to commit a lot of time to that. We promise only that you will have more fun than you’ve ever had before at Burning Man or anywhere else for that matter. And oh, we might could use a keyboard player, too, depending on room. To get in touch: web funkmobile.org peace, Bunko of Funkmobile EVENTS There are a number of upcoming events you should NOT miss. Unfortunately they are for SF-based and LA-based Burners. BUT, I know the rest of you are jonesin’ for your community. Best I can say is…make it happen. Don’t forget about the Regional Contacts under Contact Us on the web site….get connected. ** THIS sounds wonderful. For those you who experienced the brilliance of Kunst-Stoff’s dance at 10 pm on the Wheel of Time, Steven Raspa’s Futura Deluxe at 5 pm on the Wheel of Time, or Aaron Wolf Baum’s sound work with the Nebulous Entity in 1998 (and 99 with the Deluxe) will want to see this collaborative show: THREE BURNING MAN ARTISTS TEAM UP FOR A SHOW AT DANCE MISSION THEATER IN SF You may remember the Futura Deluxe Bubble Fountain & Porta-Temple from the 5:00 position on the Wheel of Time last year. You may also have experienced Kunst-Stoff’s memorable dance performance on the Wheel of Time during which performers danced through showers of water and swung from cables to embody primary elements. Well, in 1999 Steven Raspa [creator of The Futura Deluxe Bubble Fountain & Porta-Temple (’99), The Sacred Grove (’98) and Lotto Tree (’97)] and Kunst-Stoff’s Tomi Paasonen met in Center Camp in a dust storm and began laying the groundwork for a show together in San Francisco. Working with audio artist Dr. Aaron Wolf Baum [Futura Deluxe (’99) and Nebulous Entity (’98)], they have created “NOSTALGIA 3000.” Deets below & at: web kunst-stoff.org “NOSTALGIA 3000: A JOURNEY IN THREE ACTS” APRIL 27-30th DANCE MISSION THEATER, (3316 24th Street, bet.

Please, VISIT their web site and read more information about each act, and the blending of dance, visuals and sound to create what will undoubtedly be a striking performance. web kunst-stoff.org/ OR, don’t visit the site, and be surprised! ** Debbie Petting Zoo If you experienced Debbie Petting Zoo ( no ” ‘s ” ) at Burning Man you know this group loves to have fun. The camp members have these wonderful comfy animal costumes which are made with soft pet-able fabric. They have a dream….of seeing dayglo animals under black lights on the playa at Burning Man. If you’ve ever met LoveCat or MarSea you’ll understand how it is clear this vision WILL become a reality. The second in a series of events leading up to the desert will be held this Saturday, April 28th in Los Angeles. All parties have a black light theme, and all decor from each of the unique parties will be seen out in the desert. It’s kinda like a reason for a party, and kinda like a reason to play with stuff you’re already making for Burning Man, so why not play with it now! I attended the last party, Black Light Mardi Gras, and had a great time. This time they’re planning a psychadelic easter egg hunt complete with 3-D glasses. I’m sorry I’m going to miss this party as I believe the highlight of it will be ALL FEMALE DJs! (Hello, Shannonleigh) go to: web yourreality.org and get more info like how to find the place. There are also photos of the last event, and of a trip to the BMan Town Meeting in March, and Flambe Lounge and Beach Burns….but those images were NOT loading when I just went for a visit…so maybe they will return shortly. Debbie Petting Zoo will be the corner stone to a HUGE collaboration for the desert in addition to this series of events. ** Beach Burn – Saturday, April 29, 2000 For those not interested in the Flambe, but inclined towards the great outdoors are invited to the Beach Burn. Crimson Rose will be tending the fire. All are welcome. web burningman/events/special/beach.html From the Naked Fire Goddess: “The Heat Of The Fire Still Burns In Your Heart Long After The Embers Have Died.” On the last Saturday of the month we gather on the beach in to rekindle the fire that still burns in each one of us. Each gathering on the beach, will bring us closer to Burning Man. Help build the energy that will carry us through to the desert. We have Dances to Move, Fires to Burn, Now to Live. We wait all year long for the final blast of the Man. It is the cycle we all Prepare For, Wait For, Long For. What we do before we get there is just as important. Bring your body for dancing, your drums to pound, somthing flammable for the fire. A challenge to all that go to the Beach Burns. We encourage people to bring an offering for the fire. Not just set somthing on fire, but create somthing, build a work of art and then set it on fire. Please, No Glass Containers on the beach. Clean up after yourself…this and all Burning Man events are: Leave No Trace. Pack it In, Pack it Out. Location: Ocean Beach – Great Highway between Fulton & Lincoln Blvd in San Francisco. Stairwell #28. Time: 8:00pm ** I don’t think this is a show any self respecting Chicken John, Church of the SubGenius, Howlin’ Owll or Woodpussy Fan should miss. And, it would be a shame if this were the last show for Woodpussy. Those of you who saw the Rocket Launch at Burning Man last year know of the talents of Woodpussy. Need I say more? Okay, I will. Recently described as the “last punk saint”, Chicken John is bringing a real “Devival” to a venue near you, and if that’s not enough to entice you out of your hole, then this isn’t for you. Oh, and if you’re just going to whine and take up space Chicken would rather you not even come at all. CHICKEN JOHN, CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS TO HOST BI-URBAN WEST COAST WING-DING by H. Owll, M.C.S. – The sacred and the profane will collide May 13th when noted impressario Chicken John will host a genuine “Devival” of the notorious Church of the SubGenius, at the Justice League, at 628 Divisadero between Hayes and Grove, featuring not only the ranting, speechifying, blaspheming, healings and sickenings associated with the SubGenius cult, but also the return of the Game Show format made popular by Chicken and his minions in recent years. Called “The SubGenius Post-Apocalyptic Devival Tour 2000,” the show will include “The Wizard of ‘Bob’,” a newly designed, fully interactive performance piece which is intended to allow selected contestants to commune, through semi-occult mthods, with the legendary Founder and “Epopt” of the controversial Dallas-based Church, J.R. “Bob” Dobbs, using an all-new form of guaranteed spectacular stagecraft consistent with the standard of quality previously achieved by earlier productions of Dammit! Ltd. A blend of hard-core theology and raucous exhibitionism, the Devival will provide cult indoctrination and instruction, and offer audience members spiritual guidance to the Post-End-Times, even as they are rudely and lewdly titillated by the goings-on. The Reverend Ivan Stang, beloved Sacred Scribe of the Church, will head the list of stellar performers, which will also include, among others, Chicken John, Attaboy & Burke, Dr. Howland Owll, and the Naked Fire Babes, who promise to deliver a profound religious experience. The unique musical stylings of Woodpussy will highlight the evening. The show (5/13) will take place one day after its performance in Los Angeles (5/12) at The Laboratory, at 835 Spring St. in downtown L.A. The two shows will be similar but different, befitting in each case the change of locale. Attendees are cautioned that they voluntarily assume the risk of serious spiritual or bodily injury just by showing up, but can expect, as is usual at Chicken John productions, that the night will be a memorable one. Miscellaney/Personals TO: Peterman.org…I recently received an email from a female participant who was really really upset she’d missed Burning Man 2000 and WAS rather surprised to see it had been moved to the woods of the NorthWest. 😉 She realized the prank just before sending a rant to burningman.

#906 Review on the pot rally and on TrancenDance and Tuesday night Tue, 2 May 2000 13:57:55 From: “sElf Trance Former” -owner at egroups Re: – tryptonite – File – OKyou.txt the annual squatters day in tompkins square park was pretty cool, except that it was filled with young teenage ravers who didn’t know why there was a free concert in the park, they came, they danced, they littered, and they ignored all the political oriented flyers/info being handed out, musically however it was pretty cool, dj chrome of the blakkat collective impressed me greatly, great selection of music and great variety, lenny dee spun some classic old school style hardkore, if u like that sort of mind numbing repetitive bass beats, soul slinger or jungle sky sucked giant moose c**k, every 6 seconds during his set, some guy with him would scream “sooouuulll slliingger!”, the most annoying thing i ever heard, musically it was pretty lame jungle too, but overall a beautiful day to chill in the park with decent music. TranceDance last night was great. Needed more women. The sound is awesome! expect us there every Monday. Alex and Misha were good. They’re throwing an Alphatrance party this friday. More to come. Tonight at Izzy Bar downstairs Gaby and Tyson are doing progressive house.
#907 Cc: “Mark at Indole. Net” The Human Family Tree: 10 Adams and 18 Eves Tue, 2 May 2000 14:07:33 From: “sElf Trance Former” Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve: CS Lewis was close. NYTimes May 2: The Human Family Tree: 10 Adams and 18 Eves web nytimes/library/national/science/050200sci-genetics-evolution .html (Map is attached) The book of Genesis mentions three of Adam and Eve’s children: Cain, Abel and Seth. But geneticists, by tracing the DNA patterns found in people throughout the world, have now identified lineages descended from 10 sons of a genetic Adam and 18 daughters of Eve. The human genome is turning out to be a rich new archive for historians and prehistorians, one whose range extends from recent times to the dawn of human existence. Delvers in the DNA archive have recently found evidence for a prehistoric human migration from Western Asia to North America; identified the people who seem closest to the ancestral human population; and given substantial weight to the whispers, long dismissed by historians, that Thomas Jefferson fathered a family with his slave Sally Hemings. A new history of Britain and Ireland by Norman Davies, “The Isles,” (Oxford University Press) begins with an account of Cheddar man, an 8,980-year-old skeleton from which mitochondrial DNA was recently extracted. The DNA turned out to match that of Adrian Targett, a teacher in a Cheddar Village school, proving a genetic continuity that, despite numerous invasions, had endured through nine millenniums. Unlike the DNA test used in forensic cases, which is designed to identify individuals, DNA analysis that seeks to reach back in time usually focuses on lineages, not individuals. From patterns in the DNA data, biologists can often estimate the sizes of ancient populations and even the approximate dates when one group of people split from another. Though DNA can bear on historical questions, often by acting as a long-range paternity test, its most spectacular use has been in prehistory, where it has added a new dimension to the bare framework provided by archaeology. The most detailed human family tree so far available is one constructed over many years by Dr. Douglas C. Wallace and his colleagues at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Wallace’s tree is based on mitochondrial DNA, tiny rings of genetic material that are bequeathed only by the egg cell and thus through the maternal line. A counterpart tree for men, based on analysis of the Y chromosome, has been prepared by Dr. Peter A. Underhill and Dr. Peter J. Oefner of Stanford University. Population geneticists believe that the ancestral human population was very small a mere 2,000 breeding individuals, according to a calculation published last December. But the family tree based on human mitochondrial DNA does not trace back to the thousand women in this ancestral population. The tree is rooted in a single individual, the mitochondrial Eve, because all the other lineages fell extinct. The same is true of the Y chromosome tree, a consequence of the fact that in each generation some men will have no children, or only daughters, so the number of different Y chromosomes may steadily diminish, even if the population stays the same size. This ancestral human population lived somewhere in Africa, geneticists believe, and started to split up some time after 144,000 years ago, give or take 10,000 years, the inferred time at which both the mitochondrial and Y chromosome trees make their first branches. Mitochondria, which live inside human cells but outside the nucleus, escape the shuffling of genes that occurs between generations and are passed unchanged from mother to children. In principle, all people should have the same string of DNA letters in their mitochondria. In practice, mitochondrial DNA has steadily accumulated changes over the centuries because of copying errors and radiation damage. Because women were steadily spreading across the globe when many of these changes occurred, some changes are found only in particular regions and continents. Dr. Wallace discovered that almost all American Indians have mitochondria that belong to lineages he named A, B, C and D. Europeans belong to a different set of lineages, which he designated H through K and T through X. The split between the two main branches in the European tree suggests that modern humans reached Europe 39,000 to 51,000 years ago, Dr. Wallace calculates, a time that corresponds with the archaeological date of at least 35,000 years ago. In Asia there is an ancestral lineage known as M, with descendant branches E, F and G as well as the A through D lineages also found in the Americas. In Africa there is a single main lineage, known as L, which is divided into three branches. L3, the youngest branch, is common in East Africa and is believed to be the source of both the Asian and European lineages. Dr. Wallace’s mitochondrial DNA lineages are known technically as “haplogroups” but more colloquially as “daughters of Eve,” because all are branches of the trunk that stems from the mitochondrial Eve. The Y chromosome tree has not yet been published by the Stanford researchers, but in a book that came out in March, “Genes, People and Languages,” a colleague at the university, Dr. Luca Cavalli-Sforza, sketched a preview of the findings. The tree is rooted in a single Y chromosomal Adam, and has 10 principal branches, Dr. Cavalli-Sforza reports. Of these sons of Adam, the first three (designated I, II and III) are found almost exclusively in Africa. Son III’s lineage migrated to Asia and begat sons IV-X, who spread through the rest of the world to the Sea of Japan (son IV), northern India (son V) and the South Caspian (sons VI and IX). Dr. Cavalli-Sforza believes these Y chromosome lineages may be associated with the major language groups of the world. The South Caspian population, for example, may have spoken Eurasian, the ancestral tongue of Indo-European (to which English belongs) and most of the continent’s other major language families. But Dr. Wallace, asked if his mitochondrial DNA lineages also corresponded to the world’s major language groups, said he “tended to be more cautious than Luca.” Dr. Wallace has recently been exploring the root of the mitochondrial tree. In an article published in March in The American Journal of Human Genetics, he and colleagues identify the Vasikela Kung of the northwestern Kalahari desert in southern Africa as the population that lies nearest to the root of the human mitochondrial DNA tree. Another population that seems almost equally old is that of the Biaka pygmies of Central Africa. Both peoples live in isolated regions, which may be why their mitochondrial DNA seems little changed from that of the ancestral population. “We are looking at the beginning of what we would call Homo sapiens,” Dr. Wallace said. One of the most vexed issues in human prehistory is the timing and number of migrations into the Americas. Dr. Joseph Greenberg, a linguist at Stanford University, has proposed three migrations, corresponding to the three language groups of the Americas, known as Amerind, Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut. Dr. Wallace’s mitochondrial DNA data broadly support this general thesis, though the arrival of the Amerind-speakers seems more complex than a single migration. Of the A through D lineages found in American Indians, A, C and D also occur in Siberian peoples, suggesting that their ancestors were the principal source of the Amerind-speakers’ migration. But the B lineage, though it is found elsewhere in Asia, has not turned up in Siberia, a hint that the B people may have taken a sea route to the Americas and then merged there with their A-, C- and D-carrying cousins. In 1998, Dr. Wallace and his colleagues discovered the X pattern, a rare European lineage, among the northern Native Americans such as the Ojibwa and Sioux. At first they assumed it came from intermarriage with modern Europeans. But the American X lineage turned out to be pre-Columbian and its owners would have arrived in America either 15,000 or 30,000 years ago, depending on certain genetic assumptions. The European X lineage seems to have originated in Western Asia around 40,000 years ago. Dr. Wallace suggests a part of this group may have made have yet turned up in eastern Asia. A trans-Atlantic route is a possible alternative. When modern humans first started to leave Africa, about 50,000 years ago by present reckoning, they probably consisted of small groups of hunter-gatherers a few hundred strong. In their determined exploration of the world before them, they must have overcome, with the primitive means at their disposal, the extreme rigors of climate, terrain and perhaps the archaic human populations like the fearsome Neanderthals who had preceded them out of Africa. The biologist Edward O. Wilson, in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, mused that a new basis for spiritual values might be found not in the usual religious sources but in what he sees as the inspiring story of human origins and history. “We need to create a new epic based on the origins of humanity,” he said, adding: “Homo sapiens have had one hell of a history! And I am speaking both of deep history evolutionary, genetic history and then, added on to that and interacting with it, the cultural history recorded for the past 10,000 years or so.” Many of the biologists who are reconstructing the human past certainly believe their work has a value that transcends genetics. Although their lineage trees are based on genetic differences, most of these differences lie in the regions of DNA that do not code for genes and have no effect on the body. “We are all Africans at the Y chromosome level and we are really all brothers,” Dr. Underhill said. Dr. Wallace remarked that since he started working on mitochondrial DNA in the late 1970’s: “What I have found astounding is that it clearly shows we are all one human family. The phylogeny in Africa goes back to the origins of our species, but the fingers of L3 are touching Europe and Asia, saying that we are all closely related.” Whether or not genetic prehistory is suitable material for a modern origin myth, it is about to be made available to a wider public. Last month a company called Oxford Ancestors set up business with the offer to tell customers which of the seven daughters of Eve they are descended from. (Almost all Europeans belong to only seven of the nine mitochondrial lineages found in Europe). The test (see web oxfordancestors) requires sending in a sample of cells brushed from the inside of the cheek. For a mere $180, anyone of European ancestry can establish the start of a genealogy far senior to Charlemagne’s. The company’s founder is Dr. Bryan Sykes, a human geneticist at the University of Oxford in England. On the reasonable basis that the founders of Dr. Wallace’s mitochondrial DNA lineages were real women, Dr. Sykes gave them names and sketched in details of their likely dates and origin. Thus people found to belong to haplogroup U will be told they are descended from Ursula, who lived about 45,000 years ago in Northern Greece. Ancestor of the X’s is Xenia, who lived 25,000 years ago in the Caucasus mountains. As if fulfilling Dr. Wilson’s suggestion, Dr. Sykes said he had “worked out a mythological framework for these seven women,” in respect of the arduous times in which they must have lived and the triumph of spreading their mitochondrial DNA to almost all the inhabitants of Europe. He is now working on tests to identify other lineages around the world, including 14 in Africa, and 16 in Eurasia and the Americas. “I don’t think this stuff should be confined to academics,” he said.

It’s called Beer and Sausage at the Polish National Home, a three-day affair to be held in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The festival will be held at the Polish National Home, located at 261 Driggs Ave. (corner of Eckford), and will take place on May 10-12, 2000. Featured performers include: Pan Sonic, Mr. Quintron & Miss Pussycat, Matt Wand (of Stock, Hausen & Walkman), Pita, Christian Fennesz, To Live and Shave in L.A., People Like Us, Lary Seven, Flux Information Sciences, The Melted Men w/ Irene Moon, Andrew W.-K., Speedranch^Jansky Noise, The Hungry March Band, Electro-Putas, Edward Quist and Electrophilia. DJs include: Bill Bronson, DJ Otefsu (aka, Foetus/J.G. Thirlwell) and Fabio. The event, in essence, is a benefit for the performers, as all profits are redistributed them. For those unfamiliar with the Polish National Home, it is three blocks from the Nassau Ave. G train stop and about nine blocks from the Bedford Ave. L train stop. Facilities include a ballroom with high ceilings, a great stage, a balcony and massive oil paintings. Of course, having the Polish National Home as host to this event also has its culinary advantages. Food will include pierogies, kielbasa, meatballs and all the beer a rational human can swallow.

#928 FW: 20 Things you didn’t know about the CIA Sat, 13 May 2000 11:17:08 From: “sElf Trance Former” Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 3:16 AM To: 20 Things you didn’t know about the CIA Thank you for posting “Looking for Cosmo”….your the coolest. I found this article in Gear Magazine May 2000 issue, In the section called FRONT. It’s called 20 things you Didn’t know about the CIA. My favorites are numbers 9 and 10 : ” 9. In 1953, the CIA attempted to buy up the world supply of l, fearful that the Soviet Union and China would use it for chemical warfare. Acid trips became an occupational hazard of working for the CIA, which conducted countless tests with the narcotic.;10. On November 28,1953, chemist Fred Olson jumped 10 floors to his death after receiving a dose at work.” The names on the article are: TIMOTHY FITZSIMMONS AND SAMUEL M. KATZ. On the lower right corner it says ROGER RESMEYER/CORBIS. Anyway if you want a copy of the original (so you can read all 20 things) I’ll bring it to Trancedance on Monday or I’ll tell Luchino to scan the copy I gave him and send it to you. The Happy Birthday Israel Party at Centro -Fly was great. Plenty of room to dance (Misha was good) and at the end instead of cutting off the music or turning it down, they just played a really slow beat song and had the security tell us it was time to go. Scheduled to end at 7am, I left at 7:30 so it was cool that they didn’t cut the sound at 7 on the dot. And there was no security search of bags or persons upon entering the club…I thought that was cool too. 🙂 That’s allll folks!

On a sad note, Sasha Chislenko died this past week. An online memorial is at web piclab/sasha/ I extend my deepest sympathy to all who will miss him. It feels weird having to uns*bscribe a dead person, and let’s all hope it’s a feeling that remains unfamiliar.

They get more or less all major new releases, as well as a decent back-stock. Supposedly, House of Trance (St. Mark’s Pl. b/w 2nd and 1st Aves) is back in business and supposedly they have a good selection these days, as well. Sometimes you can find old gems quite cheaply in such odd places as Virgin Megastores, Kim’s Video and Joe’s CDs. As far as online shops go, try web spectralpsy first (US-based, blazing-fast service, and *EXCELLENT* selection). Then there’s web umprod, web chaosunlimited.co.uk, web chaishop.

#953 Burning Man Tue, 23 May 2000 19:04:15 From: “sElf Trance Former” Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 3:15 PM To: bman-announce at burningman BManUpdate:V #4:Issue #16 JRS/4:16/May 23, 2000 Welcome to the Jack Rabbit Speaks, internet oracle for communication from Burning Man. Only 96 days until we ignite fire from the sun with a parabolic reflector signifying the commencement of Burning Man 2000. The Fire Conclave will tend the fire each night in Center Camp in preparation for the burning of the Man. Information you need: Theme Camp registration is available NOW, Art installation registration are available NOW, help at the WORK WEEKEND over Memorial Day in Gerlach/Black Rock Desert/80 Acres, and Villages info is below. YES, the Man will burn on Saturday again, and until infinity. Thank you for asking. STUFF IMPORTANT Memorial Day WORK WEEKEND in Gerlach, Nevada – May 27, 28, 29 THEME CAMP App., Village info., and Art Application Center Camp CAFE DECOR Team expanding Austin Burners 3rd Annual BURNING FLIPSIDE – May 27-29 Alternative ENERGY Zone members wanted Tickets, etc. Misc. Admin on and off this thing Stuff Im not sure how it is for the rest of you right now, but things at Burning Man Central in are busy busy busy. There are meetings at the office every night of the week, including Fridays and Saturday afternoons. Tues-Thurs see multiple meetings. The days are filled with making and answering phone calls and emails, and meetings with full, part-time & volunteer staff. Volunteer groups start pouring into the office around 6:30 each night to set up for their respective meetings. The hive is buzzing from 10 am until well after 11 pm most nights. On a recent Tuesday night there were 3 different groups meeting, staff working and volunteers helping send out tickets. I made a rough count of over 50 people in the office, and we dont really have THAT much space! The excitement is contagious. Its not often that those of us at the office are beat and ready to go home when happy faces begin to ascend the stairs into the office space above the warehouse. Theres nothing like people anxious to get work done to give the rest of us another spurt of energy to continue on for a few more hours overseeing a meeting or workshop downstairs. Thank you to every single volunteer whos contributed his/her time to help us bring this event off. And, thanks to all of you who come to the event and give of yourselves to others by playing, being yourself, sharing, building art, greeting, interacting, singing, performing, rangering, volunteering or creating and managing a theme camp. I have no doubt in my mind that Burning Man 2000 will be the best event Ive attended since I first started attending in 1995. The Body Theme Art which is being registered sounds fantastic. Great Theme Camps are returning and new ones have sprouted up. Groups of friends are collaborating for even larger displays of self expression. Gives me a shiver to imagine what we have in store for ourselves! Before we get there, however, theres still much work to do. The Memorial Day Work Weekend listed below is an important part of our commitment to the Black Rock Desert and to ourselves in fulfilling our responsibilities. Since 1997 when 80 volunteers (most from the Burning Man email discussion list) helped us prepare Fly Ranch for that years event, Memorial Day weekend has been an important preparation time for Burning Man. The DPW has used the long weekend to reconnect staff, repair equipment, begin opening the depot for storage and prepare for construction. This year were endeavoring to accomplish a great deal of work. In addition to the DPW other volunteer groups, including the Earth Guardians, will be at the 80 Acres with various intended duties. One of the most important things we are going to accomplish over this Memorial Day weekend is burn scar restoration work in the Black Rock Desert. Though the Burning Man 1996 event site was initially signed-off on in October of 1996, debris and burn scars came to the surface within the year. Shortage of resources, time and dampness on the playa have kept us from restoring this site until now. This site must be cleaned before Burning Man 2000, and we intend to finish the work over the long weekend. There will be additional detail work done on the 1998 and 1999 sites also. There is plenty of work for everyone, and many hands make light work. If you want to work side by side with the rest of us, meet others, and connect with the energy the our community creates within itself, then join us over Memorial Day weekend. If youd like to join us and help, read the post below, and email: cleanup at burningman with questions. Memorial Day Weekend Work Party In The Black Rock Desert May 27, 28, 29 Join the DPW and Earth Guardians on burn scar restoration work on the playa over Memorial day weekend. Since the winter rains have receded it has become apparent that the ’96, ’98, ’99 sites burn scars that were covered by sediment have risen to the surface and require treatment. At the 1996 site, nails, screws and bits of glass need to be hand picked out and on all sites the discolored surface must be restored. This work is a very rewarding team effort and critical to our continued existence on the Black Rock Desert. Added attraction: the Reno-based band, The Black Rock Rangers will play at The Black Rock Saloon on Saturday & Sunday. WHERE: MEET AT the DPW depot anytime starting Friday May 26 (if you are passing through in the daytime and see people working at the ’99 site, you can stop by, take the 3 mile playa entrance). DIRECTIONS to the DPW Depot from Gerlach: Heading west out of Gerlach take the ‘Y’ to the right as if going towards the ’99 event site. Continue on highway 34 past the 3 mile and 12-mile entrances to the Playa and around the bend of Hualapai Playa (Bman ’97 site). At about 22 miles out of Gerlach the paved road turns to gravel. At this point, check your odometer: At .7 miles take a right onto the dirt road. A half a mile down, take another right at the DPW depot gate. Follow the road in towards the trailers on the right and “check in.” ITEMS TO BRING: Camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat) Food (there is some water and food there, communal cooking happens for dinner, stoves are available) Hat Work gloves Winter jacket Pickup Trucks are handy Stiff bristle push broom (if you have one) *Some tools and MOOP (matter out of place) buckets will be provided. Though it will likely be pleasant sunny days and cool nights, be prepared for hot, cold, wind and/or rain, you never know what to expect on the Black Rock, but it’s always beautiful, especially when the sky is putting on a show. If you arrive on Saturday during the day: The ’96 site is off the 12-mile (second) exit onto the playa. Drive 12 miles north on the west playa road from the 12 mile entrance and then right and go 4 miles east. The GPS coordinates are N 40.9119 W 119.1031. It is not recommended trying to find the site if you are not very familiar with the Black Rock desert. We will also be at the 1998 and 1999 sites which are adjacent and off the 3-mile exit near Gerlach. The Black Rock Desert is an inhospitable place. You must come prepared. Carry several gallons of water in your vehicle at all times. COMING SOON: Announcement of Burning Man 2000 burn policy. Techniques for elevating fires from the playa surface by using corrugated tin on bricks and kevlar burn blankets will be the main focus with the goal of not creating any more burn scars in 2000. REMEMBER: The site weve applied for with this years permit would the spot wed like to use for years to come. Cleaning up after yourself in 2000 will mean more than leaving no trace. It means not having to see the remains of the previous years event. Allow everyone the experience of arriving at a perfect and pristine spot in the desert. WEATHER CHECK: web wunderground/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?queryGerlach Actually lists Lovelock, which isnt Gerlach, but is within 70 miles, and this is close enough. THEME CAMPS The new Theme Camp/Village questionnaire is up and running! Information from the questionnaire will automatically populate our brand new FileMaker Pro database which is awesome (applause here for the all volunteer Tech Team)! In 2000 EVERY theme camp will be placed and mapped. We are working on new elegant map designs and more sophisticated ways of placing your camp. There have also been some simple modifications to our city plan that will help ease the living space for some of the larger interactive camps. The dates and deadlines are all listed in the body of the questionnaire: web burningman/events/questionnaire/ Just remember to read all of the text WELL. There are some new questions in place that if properly considered will help us in placing your camp more smoothly. You will find some features on the application which are in place for the database that are not fully functional YET (like user ID number) but will become VERY useful in the future! VILLAGES The year 2000 is bringing many good changes for villages! Villages have been growing as their theme camps and communities expand. We all know that organizing a camp of 50 people is not the same as organizing a camp of 500. Generally a village has a larger collective mind toward a civic responsibility than an average theme camp and needs more space (and possible resources) than a smaller theme camp. However, this “mind” is varied and diverse. Villages should not be expected to conform to any specific standards or guidelines prescribe by a standardized definition of what they are. We encourage diversity of thought and planning around the village concept. There will be no village areas designated on the city plan in 2000. Villages may invent themselves within our city and fill their civic duties as they see fit. Find the village questionnaire: web burningman/events/themecamps/what.village.html ART installations Youll notice that the process for filling out an application for art is similar to that for theme camps. They both start with the same basic information. The form can be used whether you plan to create art for the Body theme, or another art installation. Note there are questions that also pertain to pyrotechnics and your burn materials. Please answer all questions carefully and accurately so you can receive the best placement possible with regard to your work and its relationship to other works. web burningman/events/art/art.installations.html installations at burningman This is a curatorial process!! Burning Desire to Decorate? The Center Cafe Art Director, Marcia Crosby (Flambe Lounge, Anon Salon, Burning Man Fashion Show) is looking for creative volunteers. This year the Center Cafe will be a grand structure unlike ever before. Under a 30,000+ sq ft canopy, Theme Rooms will surround the actual Cafe, and we’re looking for creative and motivated volunteers to help design, fabricate, scrounge for and install decorative elements. The themes are: Turkish/Middle Eastern Casbah Oriental Tea Garden English Penny University The Future and a special area for Community Art Team-Leaders: We’re looking for a person(s) to step forward as a team-leader for each of these rooms. You would create the ideas within the theme and work with other volunteers to make it happen. Got a group of friends who want to do this with you? Great! Time commitment: in the desert one week prior to opening is preferable, but not an absolute. No work during the event itself! Decor helpers: (in SF)- We need general assistance in procuring items, sewing, and picking up donations. (On the playa)- one week before we open, starting Monday Aug 21, we’ll need people to build interior facades, install other decor, paint items, and help in general. Scroungers: You’ll need access to a big car or truck – we’ll schedule you to go out on a field-trip with Marcia and hit the dumpsters/dump-nights in the Bay Area. All large items can be brought to an official Burning Man container which will transport it to the desert. Donations: We’ll be putting out a thorough list soon, but right now we’re looking for fabric, pillows (we can re-cover), working lamps (floor & table), a few comfortable decent sofas (also re-coverable), and side/coffee tables that aren’t completely trashed. These too can be brought to the container which will deliver them to the playa. Interested? Questions? Please email Marcia at Burning Flipside: Pyropolis May 26-29 2000 Austin Texas Inspired by the Burning Man Festival, participants will share their free expressions through theme camps, costumes, architecture, original artworks, music, performances, public pastimes and invented games. Last years event drew more than 350 people and a dozen theme camps in its second year. A perfect opportunity to test your shade structure, envision your theme camp, or get away for a frivolous weekend in the Texas Hill Country. Deadline for tickets is at the end of this week. pyropolis.shtml Alternative Energy Zone Have you ever wondered how to go about using solar or wind power at Burning Man instead of running a noisy, polluting, fossil fuel guzzling generator? Ever been confused about what kind of components are required to set up a solar system? Ever been scared away by the high prices for solar components? Burning Man would like to encourage more information exchange and use of solar/alternative energy. Who knows, perhaps we can even find a way to get group discounts on components! Join the discussion to share any information, questions, experiences, or resources that you might have. Rebecca has put together a solar power system for less than what one would pay for a gas generator (approximately $200 to $300). It is sufficient to power x-mas lights, blacklights, boombox, charge batteries, etc. She wants to help other people do it too. Who needs a generator when we have plenty of sun!! One more way to leave no trace! Please email rebecca at electrum93 if you are interested in joining the discussion. Tickets, etc. For ticket information, please visit: web burningman/travel/tickets/tickets.html Currently available are 6000 $165 tickets, they will be sold until June 30th or until supplies last. All $125 and $95 tickets have been sent out. Questions on outstanding ticket orders should be directed to participant services at: partiserv at burningman. NOT ME! admin on and off If youd like on or off this thing please email: bman-announce-subscribe at burningman or Misc.

#955 brainmachines at egroupsMTV2 promo idea Wed, 24 May 2000 15:17:23 From: “sElf Trance Former” MTV2 *will* be filming for a promo on REAL trance music, in Manhattan. My idea is, we can get the film crew to come do the promo at a Bridge Party this Friday pm/Saturday am. This is a plea to anybody who can help make it happen. Let’s do a Bridge Party. Otherwise, it will be just 2-3 people on a roof somewhere… If interested in contributing (1) a car to pick up a generator, (2) someone to pick up the generator Friday afternoon, and/or (3) sound I would do it all but I work at my McJob Friday afternoon so I can’t get the generator, and I do not have an amp or speakers. You *will* be reimbur$ed. Like a lot of cockamamie ideas that have flown in the past, i doubt this will happen as planned but it’s worth a shot.

#960 YATS – yet another trance site Thu, 25 May 2000 14:42:47 From: “sElf Trance Former” for all you web heads…they’re doing some big online contest/promotion… and he’s Indian… Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 9:03 AM To: web traceinspace Hi again. This is Puneet again from Trax In Space! Last week I told you about our Trancelandia music competition, but what I didn’t tell you was about our new website: Trance In Space (web tranceinspace). We just launched Trance In Space, and just like Trax In Space, we hope that this community grows around the concepts that have made Trax In Space successful. Trance In Space features more detailed trance genres, its own forums, its own Top Charts, and its own Artists and Songs of the Day. We are hoping that the Trance and Goa communities stand behind our site as we help bring music to the people. We are musicians looking out for musicians, and just as we have done since 1993 for Trax In Space, music and the experience is the center of our mission. Please help us by linking to our site. Important sites like yours help bring information to the Trance world, and we would like you to help bring the news of our latest family member to the rest of the planet. In my opinion, Trance music is hypnotic, melodic, progressive, thumping, and most of all, awesome. Please help me help artists bring their works to the public. As always, Trance In Space needs the support of the community, after all if it’s not for the community, what use is the site? I have attached some pictures that you can use on your website. Please if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas, contact me right away. Thank you, Puneet Bhambhani
#961 Royal Trance article Thu, 25 May 2000 14:46:40 From: “sElf Trance Former” …On Behalf Of Bob Baxter Royal Trance article Trancers, Interesting article. Ardent followers in high places. BobblesRoyal Trance Dennis Romero, Managing Editor Sunday, January 09, 2000 04:59 PM Prince William admits being a fan of psychedelic trance; his buddy is arrested for ds Dance music sure has gone upscale since the early ’80s days of New York’s Paradise Garage and Chicago’s legendary Warehouse club. Fast, melodic trance has become the sound of our go-go millennium. It is a designer genre for a generation brought up on digital hardware and high-tech fashion. Trance is so popular that none other than heir-to-the-British-throne Prince William, 17, is reportedly its newest fan. According to the U.K.’s Ministry magazine, Prince William digs the harder, speedier, psychedelic sound of “Goa trance,” which was made popular in the mid-’90s by British vacationers to the Goa region of India. Ministry reports that Prince William’s bedroom is plastered with posters from the Flying Rhino record label, a Goa specialist. He better watch out, however, because trance has its dark side. In fact, young Prince William’s best friend was reportedly arrested New Year’s day on d-related charges after leaving an all-night rave in the British countryside. According to a newspaper report, 16-year-old Nicholas Knatchbull, a future British Lord, was stopped for speeding. A subsequent search of Knatchbull and his three friends revealed a stash. A royal spokesman told England’s Sun newspaper, “It is very worrying. It seems the Princes are being exposed to ds on almost every front. Even some of their most trusted friends are now dabbling in ds.” (Thanks to web dancesite).

#972 ProgressivTrance Saturday Thu, 1 Jun 2000 09:55:21 From: “sElf Trance Former” Hola, It’s me, Senor Touch. Before commencing on writing these emails for y’all I like to take a little stroll along West Broadway to get the creative juices flowing and find my inspiration but today I drew up a blank. S’not easy sometimes but thankfully our friend Reuben gathered some quotes and shot this one out just in time to save my lazy uncreative arse from failing miserably in front of all my friends. Thank you Reuben. enjoy… “TOUCH gave me the courage to change my name to a stupid symbol, so that I can emancipate myself from the $70 million slave wage contract forced upon me by my label. 10 years later, I am finally free to pursue my artistic ambitions. Thank you, TOUCH!” – Anonymous Artist “If only I had listened to TOUCH’s advice that my cult leader’s best-selling novel was cheesy & dated, I wouldn’t have been directly responsible for the first movie flop of this Summer, not too mention running around in a hot, sweaty rubber muscle costume wearing fake dreadlocks throughout this movie.” – John “I was depressed, thought I couldn’t change my destiny. I took it out on poor undeserving club kids by closing as many of their bars & clubs as I can. Then I found TOUCH. And now, I’ve found contentment. Feigning cancer, I quit my job hunt for the US Senate, left my ambitious reporter wife & shacked up w/ this cute socialite brunette. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, TOUCH!” – RG You too can be TOUCHED. If you already have been TOUCHED, then go forth & spread the word. If not, come join & be TOUCHED by the best party you haven’t heard of. Our cult…I mean, party, features cutting edge rifts of Reverends’ Billy Shane & Sean Hall, incredible visuals by our 11th Hour gospel brothers & the best-looking bunch of party-going cultists this side of Waco. praise to REVEREND AL “RUBEN” SHARPTON TOUCH this Sat, June 3, 10pm Main Room: Billy Shane & Sean Hall (TOUCH) Neil Aline (CHEZ) Deeply fucked up psychedelic experimental chill out room: Sheldon Drake & DJ Spinoza (Undercity, Neuronal) Visuals by 11th Hour at CHAELRA 330 W 38 St, btw 8 & 9 Ave, NYC $15 at the door $10 on reduced list (respond to this email with names or use flyer) 21+, bring ID info: 212-502-3532 or touch-nyc or just email us back This is a brand new venue, and this place is brilliant.

#977 Monday/Tuesday Mon, 5 Jun 2000 10:13:46 From: “sElf Trance Former” Monday nights at Izzy Bar – I’m no longer involved, no longer psytrance, now drum & bass/lounge put together by lighting guy Mojo, similar to the Spacecakes parties in Brooklyn. Tuesday nights at Izzy Bar – Winners of the War between Trances (albeit they did have tactical advantage with Tuesdays vs Mondays): That’s right ladies and gents. This is Fluid’s line up for June so far ……well almost……to find out more, just keep readin’….. Adam X will be rockin’ his contemporary Techno stylin’ this Tuesday June 6th. The night will coincide with the celebration of Adam X’s new original release entitled “Over and Out”, with Sonic Groove Records. Jon Turi and Melonie Moore, two experienced and slammin’ NYC techno dj’s as well, will be putting in some hours on the decks for the evening. On June 13th it will be none other than the infamous Touch Brothers, Billy “the man” Shane, and Sean “the other man” Hall… These boyz have been tearin’ up the scene here in New York for the last five years, throwin’ down vinyl like no others. Now they’re bringing their show on the road to 1st avenue at Izzy Bar for one night and one night only, ready to take it to the next level. We don’t what level that is, but we know it’s up there! On June 20th there will be a full length listening party and showcasing of Paul Van Dyk’s newest CD release with MUTE records entitled “Out There and Back”.

NOISEGATE is their latest project. If you’re not familiar with Granular Synthesis, you can check out their work online at web thing.at/granular-synthesis. Tom Sherman calls NOISEGATE ‘…a timeless space for reflection, for associations made within the surrounding pressure of an unrecognizable, unfathomable drone.’ For this event, we’ve invited Mark Dery (author of Escape Velocity and now Editor of Artbyte Magazine) to interview the Granular Synthesis artists. Cocktails and refreshments will be served, and you’ll get a chance to experience the installation before and after the discussion. NOISEGATE TALKS is presented by Creative Time, Rhizome.org and Altoids. Directions: The Anchorage is located inside the base of the Brooklyn Bridge on Cadman Plaza West at the intersection of Hicks and Old Front Streets, Brooklyn. Take the A/C train to High Street. Walk down Cadman Plaza West towards the river. Go under the BQE overpass, the entrance to the Anchorage is on the right. NOTE: The 2/3 Clark Street station is closed for renovation. Tickets are $5 at the door. Hope to see you there!

Hmmm….), 3-Point Turn, India Drop and Star Sound Orchestra. Only the last act (SSO) is playing in the trance area, the rest being stuck in “Chill-Out City”. Since I’m not going to Pittsburgh, I thought I might as well go to this thing. Why the f*ck isn’t Koxbox playing in NYC? Peace VM

#1000 To: Xtfr at aol at egroups, “Psy Trance” It’s not good to be tha King (of Blue Room Americas) Tue, 13 Jun 2000 21:12:17 From: Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2000 7:37 PM To: RE: Blue Room Americas Funny article on your site (web tranceam.org/bodytrance.html)… But a couple of glaring factual errors: Darin is not, was not, nor has ever been “the head of Blue Room America (sic).” He was an independent contractor responsible for doing parties in various locations under the umbrella of the Blue Room Americas name, and working out of the SF Blue Room Ameircas offices. So…”the head of Blue Room America (sic)” is most definitely NOT “now on the run.” Darin may be…who knows…who cares. Oh yeah…the U.S. operation is called “Blue Room Americas” (plural). FYI… Chris Stimson CEO Miraloma Music (Miraloma Music is exclusively responsible for distribution of Blue Room Americas in the United States) Chris, shit…sorry.. facts come after polemics when you’re at pedal to the metal… i will change it all so it will be somewhat factual and wreak less havok on the west coasters.. you softies need it 🙂 To prove that we’re not sore about not having a monopoly on mere facts, this is going out to 400 NYC psytrancers plus 800 goa trance nationals. Mea Culpa mother fukkers. We have a lot of “Darins” over here, representin’ and shit but no importin’ (and no important) Oh yeah – See yall at K-HOLE Wednesday at Chelsea Lounge! The amount of pure psytrance played will be in direct proportion to how many of you dust munchkins show up. If you don’t come one of the East Coast Darin Clones will kick your asses. I guess this mean we WILL see the Blue Fire Engine at Burning Man this year, for a $250 roundtrip pittance… The new improved House of Trance in NYC kicks ass BTW, FINALLY PS missed ya’ll at all the music conventions 😉 Grease hand glove, M.E.

#1014 To: “Bx” brainmachines at egroupsPortugal Tue, 20 Jun 2000 11:32:05 From: BOOM FESTIVAL 2000 11th to 16th of August 5 days of trance culture in nature Deep in the massive Mediterranean woodlands of Portugal a meeting for the worldwide community of psychedelic beings. Five days of music, art, culture and love. Three music areas covering psychedelic trance, new electronic soundscapes and chill out. A convention area which will cover fields like Entheogens, Alien Entities, Planetary strange events, Virtual Worlds, Nanotechnology, Fractals, Novelty, Alternative life styles, Future, Freedom, Chaos and Order, Anti-prohibitionist, … you name it. A small village is built and for five days we all bring to life a new world. Its a festival dedicated to all free spirits. In the main dancefloor several types of psychedelic trance will have it’s place. From morning style, with Atmos, to dark-heavy fat kicking (XP, Russian DJ), passing by Scandinavian moody wizardry (DJ Anti), progressive spacey trance (James Monro), or ozzie oriented style Luke Psywalker. Whether it’s Brighton-unique psychedelia with one of it’s best representatives, Joti Sidhu, or Swedish psy-electronic dance style with Logic Bomb, Boom Festival will try to get together the winds that are passing through psychedelic trance. The idea behind the Boom is to create a space in this time continuum where people from all over the world can live in an alternative reality. In the chill-out the sounds will marry with the spirits of the forest downbeating the atmosphere to the organo-fluid level with artists from all origins. From Germany Deep Dive Corporation, Portuguese experimentalist Rafael Toral, Mexican Jorge Reyes, Star Sound Orchestra or Total Eclipse Loic & Stephane are just few names that are going to pass in the only area that will be open 24 hours per day. We will not try to limit this incommensurable area to a singular style of music; everything is possible here! Boom Festival it’s a celebration of intuition since communication changes along this few days and in the end there is no more need for words. And we are born again into a reality of being in constant universal Trance. The forest will be the place for this big gathering where electronically based music and art can meet its similar and together expand all the frontiers. In a time where technology has the potential to change the mind by sensorial manipulations and awakenings, Boom Festival will give space for all artists of cybercreation. Not distinguishing boundaries, because artistic emotivity has no limits. The third music area, Journeys area, will have the presence of some artists known by their unique style and ecletism. Jazzanova, Up Bustle & Out, Swayzak, Rainer Truby, Dixon or Portuguese alternative house expert Rui Vargas are just few of the hertz controllers that will be passing in Boom Festival. The aim is to join a huge world-wide family in time and space and allow the culture, the love and the art (in all its forms) to melt and communicate and eventually Boom!

#1016 Thoughts on an afterparty after Hux Flux and Infected Mushroom on Friday Wed, 21 Jun 2000 10:28:52 From: “sElf Trance Former” Tsunami says the party will go until 9am as long as there are at least 300 trancers present. If ya’ll want an afterparty, I can get one but I need to raise $1000. Does anybody want to help me produce an afterparty for Hux Flux/Infected Mushroom? I’m negotiating a space right now. Paying $$$ upfront and all that. We have the opportunity to get Chelsea Lounge at 26th between 6th and 7th If this goes, I will need -Banners, banners, banners -DJs who will spin for free unless we make money (unlikely); the DJs must be people we all know and love and not some unknown knucklehead. -someone to handout flyers for 2 hours -attractions, artists, black lights – if you contribute in some way you can be comped -your help in bringing people there The ultimate question is, do you all feel that we can get 200 people to pay $7 for party from 9-4? If this pulls through then I will accept advance ticcket purchase through paypal. More to come.

#1022 FW: Need Found Materials for UFO trance 7/14 Mon, 26 Jun 2000 15:10:20 From: “sElf Trance Former” This is for that big NYC party on 6/14, the same weekend as the HGouse of Trance party and WEMF both upstate. Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2000 1:38 PM To: Curtis Page; Mark Raskin; Jerica Sasse; Nova; Nathaniel Ruhlman; Manny Oquendo; Jeremy Paskell; Astrid Luchian; John Elmanahi; Ian Tribek; HIMAWARI; Tom Hoppe; Chetan Cc: Damian Catera; Jason Martin;Jim Keepnews; Mike Rose at Beamz; Tom Rupolo Found Materials for 7/14 Hi gang – I need to utilize everyone’s recycling(garbage-picking) skills for my alien planetscape project. The types of materials I’m looking for to construct the set are mainly translucent or white plastics – bubble wrap, tubing, sheets, containers, etc. – anything plexiglass/lucite – light weight metallic objects – foil, mylar, springs, wiring, tubing – and also PVC pipe. The less materials I have to purchase the more $$ can go to the performers + to move*ment. The most important and easiest-to-find material I’d like to acquire in large quantities are plastic water bottles, the kind with the ridges. These are plentiful and I think we can come up several hundred of them if we all do our part. I want to build 3 dimensional structure of these that will be lit from the inside, and perhaps suspended from the ceiling. In order to create the desired atmosphere everyone’s participation in this endeavor is essential. I realize apartment space is at a premium so if things start to pile up give me a call and I’ll make arrangements for a pick up. Thanks for your support. – Mojo

#1031 Movement party Friday Wed, 5 Jul 2000 09:33:31 From: “sElf Trance Former” 1. Move*ment Summer 2000 Jackel Studios Series On July 7, Move*ment will stage an event at SOHO’s Jackel Studio, located at 443 Broadway, 3rd Floor (1 block N of Canal). We have a full schedule of performance art, gallery work and live music. Our featured artist is Tom Hoppe. This night has been a long time coming. 2. July 7, 2000: Symphonic-Chromatic Theory by artist Thomas Hoppe Thomas Hoppe studied at the Maryland Institute of Art as a Presidential Scholar before opting for a self-imposed, four year long artistic and spiritual retreat in an isolated region of upstate New York. In the ensuing years he completed his Symphonic-Chromatic theory. Eight years in the making, this theory unifies music, color and geometry. Move*ment now has the privilege of working with Tom Hoppe and presenting his long awaited, complete works to the Manhattan art community. As chord’s progress on the musical scale, the evening will transpire as a sequence of events taking the viewer on an interactive journey through the mind of this brilliant artist. This is a world where red is middle C, blue is G # and the “Fibonocci Series” is supreme; a world in which visual and aural harmonics line up perfectly. The show will demonstrate this symmetry through Thomas’s paintings, drawings, theory books, live music, performance art, and interactive installations. At 6PM, the evening will start on the subdued note of D # and then work its way up to a frenzied, Bacchanalian climax that will end sometime near dawn. Twelve tones in the chromatic scale, twelve colors in a color wheel, twelve hours to open your mind and see a brave new world. (Skyy Vodka open bar 6pm to 9pm) 3. July 7, 2000: Lineup Stage I: The Collection of Thomas Hoppe 34 Original Works: Hypnopompic, Haleug Papyrus, Tenotow Top, Doc, Orange-Tan-G, Beneath the Red Wood Forest, Scopolamine, Lisa, Echo, Aquatic Division, Sing, Lid, Octopus, The Impossible Staircase, The Oracle Gena Novella, Lexi at the Piano, Fish in C, Elephanta Tondo, Echo with the Royal Theme, The Oracle Descending the Stairs, Love/Devotion/Surrender, The Split of the Structure, The Poorsullen Forest, Raggedy Ann and Andy Canon, Sing, The Prophecy of Dorian Orange, Plutonic Fusion, Between Nothingness & Eternity, M.U.S.T.A.R.D., Miss V.I.O.L.A.S.

About move*ment Move*ment has made a commitment to give the so-called “underground” musician and “undiscovered” artist a voice and a platform. Our group is comprised of artists and musicians that have, over the past 3-4 years, given you the very best of NY’s underground party scene. We have brought you Move*ment events now for about a year, and before that most of our members have worked with or have been a part of Touch, Organic Grooves, and Sound Lab to name a few. Our goal is to give you an upscale party in a great environment, and fill it with the best in raw art & diverse musical performances (ranging from live bands to hard-core late-night trance and house) and fill it with great people who appreciate the culture. We built the web site in order to give the artists and musicians of the underground a platform to show their work to inform you of our events. Over time, I hope that the events become more frequent, and that you hear more about Move*ment and gain a greater understanding of our commitment. Enjoy the party! Curtis P. Page

Sunday Frying Pan: NOW DECOMPRESSION ZONE a.k.a THEY’VE GOT THE POWER (this time) The official after party for the festival of NOW brought to you by Blackkat and Wanderlust At the historic lighthouse ship known as the FRYING PAN Party kicks off at five in the afternoon with live Brazilian and barbeque vibe on the deck and pier And continues late into the evening with two sound systems featuring most if not all of the NOW festival DJs: Chrome, Dots, Sean Hall, Billy Shane, Mike Sike, Saskai, Krunchy, 101, Small Change, K.Ktus, Jack Clang, Nik Fit, and Acoustic. Plus live performance by Hungry March Band, the debut of the NYC Tall Bike Circus, Madam Chao’s Virtual Reality Captain’s Chambers, and another adventure into the realm of the Amoeba Bubble Core. Bring some barbeque-able food and celebrate the full moon, the going away of Erez and Arrow, and the wild insanity of NOW! We will be showing video and pictures from the festival. If you have any of your own, please bring ’em. A loving sliding scale donation of $7-20 will be requested at the door. The party will be free for any and all NOW ticket holders. This is most likely our last event til the fall, so get your fix while you can!! The Frying Pan is located in the Hudson River at the Westernmost end of 24th Street, in New York City. It’s right next door to the giant Chelsea Piers complex. Take the A/C/E to 23rd St and walk west towards the water. The party will go on ’til at least 2 o’clock, later if you want it to. For more information, check the web site at web blackkat23.cjb.net or the voicemail at 212-714-4987. Please froward as this party will be promoted by word-o-mouth and e-mail only.
#1040 Free Hugs by Indian Mother Guru Type Tue, 11 Jul 2000 15:34:22 From: “sElf Trance Former” This looks like a freakin’ cult. A free hug by a jolly Indian woman? Is this a joke?

We have a full schedule of performance art, gallery work and live music for each evening. For our summer series, Move*ment has selected “featured artists” to host each event. For the first 6 hours of each evening we will showcase the talents and work of each host artist, combined with a wide range of music specific to the night’s theme. The remainder of the evening will vary, but for the most part we will be have underground DJ’s spin until early in the AM. Our next event is this Friday night, July 14th. Our featured artist is Mark Alan Johnson aka Dr.Mojo. Summer 2000 schedule For press and sponsorship information call: 917-209-0610 2. July 14, 2000: OuterSpaceInnerSpaceOut by artist Mark Alan Johnson Our next performance will be again this Friday evening, July 14th, at Jackel Studios, located at 443 Broadway, 3rd Floor. Tonight we hand the floor over to Mark Alan Johnson aka Dr. Mojo. Mark moved to New York City in 1993 as an electric guitarist and as part of the infamous rock ensemble KURU. Mojo also served as the bands chief artist and graphic designer. After the band’s disassociation, Mojo took his single guitar act on the road, playing in smaller venues throughout the greater New York area. It is here where he began projecting his artwork in conjunction with his musical performance. Keenly interested in the arts and visual media his work grew and he soon founded Total Eclipse Multimedia (TEM). With over 1,000 slides and hours of original projection footage, TEM is a mainstay in the New York City underground displaying works at many major parties and events. Mojo’s main artistic talents lie in found artistic installations and finely detailed collage art, where his goal is to seamlessly mesh 2 dimensions into 3 dimensional illusions. Come and see what Mojo and the Move*ment collective have created, and join in on the celebration as the Move*ment summer continues. The event begins at 6 pm with open bar provided by Skyy Vodka until 9 pm. As in all of our events this summer we are dividing the night up into two parts. For the first 6 hours we will showcase collage and graphic artwork by Mark Alan Johnson in a gallery format, combined with performance art and live musical acts by Mojo and the Black Ops Ensemble. At about 12 am, we roll back the carpet, lounge chairs and stages and the party takes off with some of New York City’s finest Trance and House DJ’s.

In another space, sound is experienced collectively through loud-speakers for casual or prolonged listening. Volume explores the roots of sound discovery and allows the audience to draw parallels between the live DJs and performances in the outdoor Warm Up series.

#1050 Reviews & New Jobs section on brainmachines Mon, 17 Jul 2000 12:09:07 From: “sElf Trance Former” The Alienl party was a tripped out success. Crowded though. Thanks to all who came. The House of Trance festival was a rained out fiasco, but HOT got an A for effort. It was sad that there was 3″ of mud everywhere you went (and it was impossible to stay warm and dry, like in WWI trenches) but ultimately uplifting to see everyone helping each other out, i.e. the Japanese kids who pushed everybody’s cars out of the mud, etc etc. Coming soon to brainmachines – a job resume bank. Yes, the job market is tight, and every little bit may help. If you are looking for a job, or someone to hire, this will be the resource for you. Here is the first listing: Business degree, attractive and intelligent female, business/financial experience, needs job leads web egroups/files/brainmachines/ResumeforJennifer.doc
#1051 at egroupsPublic Trancepercipitation Mon, 17 Jul 2000 15:52:38 From: “sElf Trance Former” Thanks to all who came and tripped out in dark Soho friday night. Our League of Spiritual Discovery enjoyed our inAlienable rite to trip. I wasn’t going to go to the Full Moon party because I got completely dissed by the guy who answered the phone at the House of Trance. When I asked him if ne needed promo support or brain machines he replied that this festivall was “No Joke.” Why is there always, always miscommunications and reports of asshole behaviour there from so many people? I had hoped that all the old bad feelings that so many got from that potentially crucial store were gone, and we were having a fresh start. Maybe the redesign was just skin deep. And for $65 plus transportation I could party for a month in NYC. But I friend of mine went who needed to be rescued, and I’m never one to miss anything remotely tied to trance, I rented a car. If this was No Joke then the House of Trance is run by the Church of the Subgenius. I got there at about 5:30pm Saturday afternoon and there was at least 3″ of mud everywhere, and nonstop nonstop rain…. many people had had enough of the pounding rain and were leaving – it was like Venus in The Illustrated Man, nonstop Chinese water torture. There was no place, I mean no place other than a car where you could escape the cold water. Mosquitoes were everywhere. It was sad because if not for the rain it would have been an unbelievable experience. They did all they could, but there IS a remedy (keep reading) I really don’t know why they planned it so far out – 2 1/2 hours by my reckoning, and I drive really fast. We had a little private party in an abandoned cabin. The brainmachines were cool for a couple seconds until I dropped the glasses in the muddy water. Oh well. But all in all, I’m very glad it was a disaster because I was able to rescue a certain young damsel in dis dress that was all muddy and fluoro. Also, the good part of everyone seemed to come out – all the japanese guys were helping everybody whose car was stuck, Gary Toro was a gentleman helping everybody get drinks and food, etc etc. A Russian and Ukrainian got married by Lilu. Did anybody find a Space Tribe fluoro long sleeve shirt with a Greece pin on it? I understand that DJs have time sensitive tickets, but I think the House of Trance should throw a payback party free of charge somewhere. Maybe under the bridge. I felt that everybody got ripped off by an Act of God, and that we deserve at least an OUTLAW this Friday!!! Come on guys, you lost no money but our collective scene got robbed! Looks like the WEMFers had the biggest craziest weekend from early reports. Trance Mission completed Trance Sexual dalighted -Maxi M.E. Sent: Monday, July 17, 2000 12:10 PM To: Alien l I didn’t have the time or the money to go to any of the festivals this weekend even though I would like to spend more time outdoors. On Friday night I went to Movement’s Alien l party. For some lapse of reason I decided to take I-95 instead of the Hutch. I-95 was hell. I left at 4:45 and arrived at E116 St. at 7:15. I was supposed to meet people in the Lower East Side at 6:00. I called. No answer. So I zipped down Second Avenue to 51st and cut across to Theatre District. After driving around for about a half hour, I found a space at W53rd and Broadway. So I ran down to Mars 2112. For those who don’t know, it’s this touristy theme restaurant that is supposed to look like Mars. There was a huge line, so I approached the young woman behind the concierge. She was wearing this tritely futuristic flight attendant’s uniform. After explaining my situation, she told me in a clipped British accent that I could go right through the “Jet Express Entrance.” It consisted of a metal door on hinges. After winding through several imitation rock tunnels, I luckily found my friends. I had an overpriced Chicken Caesar Salad and a bad martini. I really needed the martini. ago) and the animated series on Fox, perhaps I am a bit biased, but I thought it was excellent. Before I walked in, I had some reservations about the cast. They got an Australian to play Wolverine (sorry Andrei). While I find Halle Berry attractive, in the book, Storm is tall, proud, and arrogant looking. Anyway, despite an apparent shortage of tall African women and burly Canadian actors, they made it work. The film seemed to go by a bit too quickly. Yesterday, I read that they cut out 45 minutes. Still, everything was explained well enough for anyone without any previous two thumbs up. After re-parking my car, and walking around a bit, I arrived at the party sometime after midnight. It was on the 4th floor in a building in Soho. Even though I didn’t see a kitchen, I was under the impression that people lived there. It was hot and crowded with an attractive, albeit sweaty, crowd. There were lots of pretty women with sexy shoes. There were men in suits and women in dresses. There were folks in jeans and t-shirts. There was a woman in tiny metallic-silver shorts, a backless lace top, and platform canary-yellow flip-flops with faux fur straps. She was with a tall shirtless black man wearing gold chains, a cowboy hat, and a feather boa. Somehow, he still didn’t look gay. Speaking of gay, there were topless boys reeking of Vicks kissing each other, and women in sports jerseys wearing shoes that weren’t at all sexy. Even though there weren’t any candy ravers or fluoro freaks, it was a very diverse crowd. I like that. Not all the women were pretty. Dalit was there handing out flyers. I had a slight urge to swack her with a rolled up newspaper, but fortunately, no such publication was available. As I was entering, people were hauling out equipment. On risers on the end of the room there were guitar amps and drum equipment. Apparently there was some sort of live music before I got there. I had heard there was an open bar promotion by Skyy Vodka. Too bad the Russians missed it 🙂 There still was a bar, which I presume was selling drinks. There was also a small area with a table and couches curtained off with bubble wrap where people were inhaling mad nitrous dudes with faces scrunched up like trolls, their eyes half-open, sucking on huge balloons. For an Alien l party, it didn’t seem like many people were on acid. All I took were these two “Up Your Gas” herbal energy pills that kept me grooving for most of the night. From the time I arrived until Jeff went on, some guy with bleached-blonde hair was spinning progressive trance. Why do they call it “progressive trance”?? What’s so progressive about it?? They should call it “hackneyed trance” or “emotionally predictable trance” or “derivative techno.” Anyway, most of the crowd was into it. I’m not saying that it can’t be fun music, but let’s not kid ourselves with an ambitious name into thinking it’s somehow edgy. The sound system wasn’t good way too much treble and not enough bass. It sounded very harsh. I decided to wear earplugs. While sitting on a stool, a large projector came crashing down and suddenly landed about an inch from my foot. There was broken glass everywhere. Mojo seemed very upset. I had mixed feelings. On the one hand I felt bad that Mojo lost a piece of expensive equipment, otoh, I was glad I didn’t lose a &*%$ # at !! toe. Other than that, it was well decorated with odd sculptures and several projections. Although, I didn’t see an alien autopsy, or even the remains of an alien autopsy. Come to think of it, I didn’t see any aliens at all except Jeff’s outfit. Speaking of Jeff, he went on around 2 AM. He played a very diverse and creative cd set experimental to say the least. It was mostly psy-trance, although it wasn’t as psychedelic as I would have expected from Jeff. Still, it was much much better than the set before him. I danced through most of his set, taking occasional breaks to stand in front of the fan. The high point was when Jeff played Hallucinogen’s “l” his hands outstretched, preaching to the crowd. After Jeff, Vadim started spinning vinyl. Honestly, I wasn’t impressed with his set, but I think that had a lot to do with the sound system, and that people kept bumping into the turntables. Psy-trance has more complexity and a wider bandwidth than house or techno it requires a system with breathing room. Unfortunately, the speakers were too tiny, and the amps were wheezing like asthmatic chain-smoker. At 5 AM I decided to leave while I still had enough energy to transport myself. All in all, it was a good party. With a better PA it would have been a great party. Movement has their own emailing list, and Jeff posts their announcements on his Brainmachines list, so those are two ways you can find out about Movement events that have nothing to do with psy-trance. So how did H.O.T. and WEMF go??

#1053 Austrian seeks road trip companion(s) Wed, 19 Jul 2000 10:50:54 From: “sElf Trance Former” I am planning to travel the U.S. ending up on the West-Coast in August (3 – 4 weeks, possible until mid-september) and I would like to do so per car. I am looking for travel company because it would be boring to travel all alone and besides, I cannot do all the driving by myself (and I am kind of a lousy driver and would not dare to do this by myself). I do not have a car (maybe one could use these companies who want to have cars transferred or rent one or buy one cheaply and resell it). My plans are to hit San Francisco, L.A., see the Grand Canyon and whatever is of interest around there (or visiting friends anywhere? I am pretty flexible as long as it sounds interesting), and I would love to get to see New Orleans, even if it is kind of out of the way. I can only travel low budget (so no fancy hotels or expensive dinners…). Anyone interested in joining? Michaela

#1055 “Goa-Nyc at Egroups. Com” goa-nyc at egroupsBridge Party!!! YEAH Fri, 21 Jul 2000 10:56:01 From: “sElf Trance Former” Hey pre-operative trance sexuals, To celebrate the 500th member voluntarily subscribing/commiting themselves to the online asylum known by some as Brainmachines, we will organize a BRIDGE PARTY. Here’s the kicker – it will be bankrolled completely not by Dancesage.org (but what a great idea) or Rudy Giuliani (even better) by an online membership fee and organized around a new list, “BridgeParty” at egroups. We ask for an advance donation of $15; donors will join the Board of Directors who will vote on, and receive information on, DJs, producers, artists, location and the date for the BRIDGE PARTY. Also there will be a special commemorative prize for all paying attendees. 😎 Votes will be performed online via polling on a new private email community. The great thing is, now that we are truly organizing, we can go absolutely fucking nuts. How much so is up to us. Two issues will be key – how do we promote this to non-paying members i.e. Israelis, debit/creditcard-less people, email-less homies, etc (I feel that word of mouth will take care of it all, but that is up to you). Also, the majority of the funds will go towards paying someone to get a car and pick up and return the generator (pickup Friday afternoon.) If you have a car or van and would like to be the generator pick up person – My hope is that we get 30 people paying $450, which will give us plenty to work with in terms of rentals and food, refreshment, nitrous (free or no? you decide), security, cleanup, etc. (and if we get enough dough MAYBE WE CAN EVEN GET GMS or KOXBOX aaaaaaaahh) This is organized crime!!! Yeah!!! 🙂 As next weekend is bare, I’m shooting for next Saturday, July 29. And your money will be refunded (via Paypal) if you end up not coming. Interested in participating? You need a credit or debit card. Click here. You will need my full name, and my email, Email me $15. Once you pay, I will manually add you onto the community. Once we get 30 members we will have enough to go ahead. The more members we get, the less we will have to raise for each upcoming party. So forward this to all of your friends. If this crashes and burns you will get your money and your karma back. But that would suck. We don’t want that! COME ON!!! I envision four bridge parties by the winter time. Cheers, PS This ain’t a democracy. More like Peru run by Fujimori; we’ll have the appearance of an anarcho-syndicalist grassroots worker commitee movement, but guess who will be the thought police. M.e.

Sound art is presented in two parts. Works by approximately 60 artists are experienced through headphones while lying on New York’s largest futon bed. In another space, sound is experienced collectively through loud-speakers for casual or prolonged listening. Volume explores the roots of sound discovery and allows the audience to draw parallels between the live DJs and performances in the outdoor Warm Up series. As a complement to Volume, installations by Ugo Rondinone, Christian Marclay, Pipilotti Rist and Jonathan Bepler incorporate sound and vision, bridging aspects of perception. MAX NEUHAUS: Drawings Max Neuhaus: Drawings will feature a selection of works on paper which complement the pioneering artist’s celebrated sound works. Never before exhibited in the U.S., these works serve as complements to the site-specific sound installations he has created since the sixties. DUNESCAPE: an outdoor urban beach environm

#1062 To: “DNA dan” deepphaze at hotmail brainmachines at egroupsRE: chaaaaaaaaarge !!!!!!!!!! Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:19:33 From: “sElf Trance Former” lets all make some shit happen We are – where’s YOUR $15? You want to chaaaarge, then do it on paypal. You can’t get somthing for nothing. Otherwise, grab a jambox, a bag of weed, and run off to the park. I can’t believe that people will pay $25 to go to what they suspect will be a large undesirable party, yet not have the commitment to come together and pool a tiny pool of money to make a party. Seriously, folks, if you want a bridge party this weekend with the DJs you vote for (& maybe Dutch from SF) then get on the bridgeparty bandwagon. We’re still short, and it will take at least 20 of you to step up and pay with your your debit or credit cards. If Tuesday rolls around and we’re not there yet, you will have to just tread the trance water for several weeks. And I will laugh at anyone who bitches rather than builds. All of you have paid a lot of money to Tsunami and many will complain; yet when offered a chance to stop being a consumer and becoming a producer you step back. Alphatrance throws the most intimate and vibesy parties and I don’t speak for them, but there’s no way they can carry through on what they want to do with the little money that they ask for. This is a test – to see how much you care about shaping your universe – to see if you are a visionary group of explorers, or a herd of cattle slurping off of the E trough. If we don’t get the support, the experiment is over and you will not hear from m.e. again, promise. Directions to get “on the bus” are at if we want change we got to all get together on this and stop waiting for the right people to come along to and hand us a good party… so tell me whats up
#1063 at egroups, “Goa-Nyc at Egroups. Com” goa-nyc at egroupsRE: SDR&R RE: chaaaaaaaaarge !!!!!!!!!! Mon, 24 Jul 2000 17:34:43 From: “sElf Trance Former” Hard charges: Generator rental, 5000kW, one day $80 Transportation back & forth to Queens$100 Deposit $200 Sound System Rental & transportation $200 Absolute minumum necessary $580 Number of members paying $15 necessary to raise $580 38 Current number of paying members: 18 Any money collected at the event itself will go to the next party Good to see you on Friday. I won’t rehash the obvious complaints that we all seem to share about the night. Let’s just say I share them, which brings me to my point. I like the Bridge Party idea a party “of the people, by the people & for the people”, but I have a few questions. At $15 a head, even a light turnout of 50 people would raise a cool $750. Assuming the DJ’s bring their own CDJs, mixers and music, all you really need is a generator, yea? So, they’re about $100 a night at worst. Where’s the rest of the dosh headed? Will you be paying the DJ’s (cos’ now that would make sense)? Don’t take this as a, “So, what’re you doing with the money smartass?” kinda letter. I’m just trying to make sense of it all before I part with my lunch money. Are there other costs I’m failing to factor ?
#1064 How to Help Make it Happen Mon, 24 Jul 2000 21:40:50 From: “sElf Trance Former” We need someone to buy water and cups in the night for a bridge party that might happen soon. And one to buy fruit in the morning. And one to clean up. Either way, you will waive the $15 membership fee. So we need three. remember when we had many bridge parties in ny? i think we can forget about them at least until we can find a way to finance them and make it worth it for the orgenizer. Faulty premise. Let me explain… the bridge was good for beginner enthusiastic orgenizer/dj’s who wanted to play and made their own parties. Yep. We have a few of those spots out here… but if someone can rent a venue,charge donation and make it half legit. covering his costs- maybe even making a small profit- why would he spend his own money on a van and a generator, miss the party before- work his ass off and end up loosing his own money? Because it’s a different vibe (club vs. outdoor renegade), a whole different gestalt, a different experience… so what happened this weekend? i know we talked about collecting donations- i did’nt see a jar. i thought about it the whole night but tripping makes me extremely unpractical. i’m sorry. i should have forced myself to collect money but i guess that’s not what i’m good for. i got there late though- did someone go around with a hat or somthing? We’ve tried a few things; I’m of the general mindset that donations for an outdoor are prolly the most likely to be recieved on the way in or out, and not during… but… so how do we do it? any thoughts? how can we through outlaw parties in public places and charge people money to get in? Potentially faulty premise…. You ask “how can we through outlaw parties in public places and charge people money to get in?” I say that’s not the question; the question is “how can we throw outlaw parties in public places and NOT charge people money to get in, without burning out or draining money from the organizer(s)?” …to that, there are several ways to answer from several directions: – Pool sound resources from within the scene and attendees so as to not have to rent sound gear (usu. very possible) – Find the construction stores that have low-rent generators for a Sat aft / Mon AM rental (not a big cost anyway, but worth trying) – “Distribute the workload” try to have a good number of people to help with setup, and have KNOWN ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES for said people during the evening and night – Keep the setup crew from having to be the cleanup crew; beg, borrow and plead to have a few people (generally the type who show up at 2 or 3am, and/or the really responsible folks) who have NOT been up since the LAST 6am to help with cleanup… – Buy large water vessels (2.5 gallon spigot-feed cartons) and ask people to bring cups. (you will still need to supply many of them). [One idea here is to have good, cheap water (a lot of stores now have dispensers for like .20 cents / gallon; if you have good water from your faucet (NON-NYC residents), go with it!… with this water, bring a bunch of cheap cups, enough for everyone… make sure this is all visible… then, for those who want their own pleasing bottle of fresh Evian, fine, $2/bottle, which helps to defray other costs. We have yet to do this, and I don’t know if we will, but it seems like a neat way to satisfy everyone…] – Find DJ’s who will play for free (or, if there is cost associated with their set (transportation/equipment/etc), then at or close to the level of expenses). I probably offended a bunch of DJ’s, but hey, if we’re talking about a FREE party where the organizers are providing free water, fruit, chai, etc., then this is the way I see it… if we’re talking about a ‘name’ act, then that can be a different story… – Buy inexpensive bulk food items, such as a LARGE crate of oranges ($30 – $35 sometimes, depending on season), or bananas, or *the best healthy item that would appeal to a bunch of freaks at 4am that is in season for a reasonable price*. We found clementines once. Yes. 🙂 Watermelon is *messy* but amazingly appealing for sweetness and hydration properties at, say, 7am. Place these items on a large table, and occasionally walk an armful out through the crowd for people to grab from… this is not a place to try and charge $$. – Find people with similar values who are willing to put up with the time, effort and energy required to realize these goals. These people come from ALL walks of life, and at surface may not seem to have a lot in common. Probe deeper. Then smile. 🙂 Hopefully, these tips help…. and other ideas are always welcome 🙂 Be well! I’ve enjoyed your very visceral party reviews in the past; keep the first person reports flowing! Actually, there was one and quite a number of people chipped in moneywise, I believe. There was even one enthusiastic person who came up to me BEFORE we got the collection jar going and asked me who’s paid for and set up all the stuff and gave me a $20, saying that he is having the time of his life and was generally very very nice. A few thoughts on the topic: Throwing a DIY party is not very expensive by any means, especially if you already have the gear or can find it for free (and if you have a vast enough network of “friends of friends”, it’s not really hard). It *is* somewhat time-consuming and logistically challenging, though, but given enough motivated people, it’s a no-brainer. It’s all about motivation and participation if everyone does a tiny part (like taking one’s own garbage back from the park… come on folks, I’m totally cool with carrying the damn sound system on my back up and down those dark stairs, but I’m really not cool with picking up somebody else’s trash) anyway… sorry for the rant… where was I. Oh yeah – motivation and participation. Personally, I’ve noticed that some of the best times I’ve had were at parties which I helped with in one way or another… there’s just a certain feeling of achievement and pride in what I’m doing to bring everyone’s experience up one notch. So, the next time somebody offers to throw a bridge party – offer your help! I mean, it’s nice to come to the park and find the sound system already alive and kicking’, but it’s even more exciting to see the party happen from ground zero, right in front of your own eyes. And yes, having separate setup and cleanup crews is essential – I was practically dead by the time the music stopped, and all I was able to dois grab my CDJs and headphones and “drag my tortured, withered body” to the train station. I felt sort of guilty for not sticking around and helping with the cleanup, but I probably wouldn’t have been much help with that, anyway.

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, which goes out to the GW Bridge to the Bronx? 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. The path splits in two. There are two locations, within five minute walk of each other. 1. NICE DRY WEATHER: OPEN LOCATION take the RIGHT path and down a slope and continues down down down until you hear music. 2. WET GROUND WEATHER: Take the LEFT PATH. Take the Red Pill, and you go all the way down the rabbit hole to the ARCH LOCATION take the LEFT path and a right at the next split to go under the GW Bridge; there’s an arch there. This bridge is the GW Bridge and it is the one you saw continuing ahead of you when you were walking on 181st. LOST? TALK: Cell phone on location Directions can be found at web egroups/files/Bridgeparty/ Also go vote on DJs etc. at web egroups/polls/bridgeparty Our budget, expenses, vendors, and volunteer sign-up can be found at web egroups/database/bridgeparty

FREE CDRs 7. WHY ARE WE BUYING WATER 8. WHAT YOU CONSUME 9. ASYLUM 10. VOLUNEER DATABASE 1. WEATHER Looks like we’ll be under the Big Arch instead of the field, for secrecy, electrical safety, & rainproofness & level dry ground Weather Friday: More clouds than sun. High 77. Light E winds. Friday night: Mostly cloudy. Low 68. Light S winds. Saturday: Cloudy with isolated thunderstorms. High 79. Winds E 5 to 10 mph. 20% Chance of precipitation. 2. EVENTS summary Tonight – web movementnyc Tomorrow day web ps1.org Tomorrow night-Sunday 3. VOLUNTEERS Here are 3 volunteer opportunities for those who like to start early. You will earn access to free nitrous all night: We will need someone to be at the location at 6:30 to help wheel the generator down the hill, and watch it while it’s down there. Bring reading material. Perfect for those who like to start early. You will earn access to free nitrous all night. If interested in helping please email me at Aleks needs two volunteers to help him move the speakers down the hill. He will be there by 8pm. Downhill is a breeze. We have a dolly. If you can 4. BLACK LIGHTS EVERYBODY bring your black lights! 5. BACKUP We will have a backup location in case we get busted, printed out on a stack of 100 flyers 6. FREE CDRs 20 Free CDRs Just pay $11.99 for S&H web googlegear/cgi-bin/xp/xdrive 7. WHY ARE WE BUYING WATER The reason i want to buy a LOT of water is that we don’t want traffic up the hill – that’s where the cops can see a lot of weird looking white kids in the hood. That, more than a fire dancer under the arch is bound to get us busted. So there. Bring it all with you, enough so that you don’t need to make beer runs or whatever. We’ll revisit this next party. 8. WHAT YOU CONSUME DJs don’t consume anything during a performance. The fire dancer people use a lot of materials in their performce, it’s not just sticking your sock in a gas tank and lighting it up and sticking on a wet hairnet. ASYLUM 9.

It was a group effort. The place was trashed, but within 5 minutes it was spotless… amazing. And the only problem was that a Russian friend of my girlfriend’s drank too much GHB… I guess he is a member of the KGHB now. If anybody wants a link to get 25 megs of free 100% secure disc drive space on the Internet, with an optional Windows Explorer interface for your PC or Mac, reply to this email and I’ll send you a link. It’s cool because no matter where youare at, you will have a backup for your most precious files. Plus you’re not tied to a single computer.

This Friday night will be our season finale and Move*ments last event until the fall/winter. Our final show will give you an idea of what we would like Move*ment events to represent for a long time coming. That being events that merge interactive, live performance & fine art shows with late night high-energy electronic dance parties; for the diverse & ecclectic personality . Our next party has it all: Our August 4th event will be hosted by musician Manny Oquendo and feature artist Micah Gaugh. Manny has been a mainstay in the New York Ilbient scene for the past 7 years as a DJ and Producer under the alias Acustyk and as the founder and bassist for the band Electrofetus. He also ran the Electofetus, Electronic Jazz & Instrumental party at Baby Jupiter last year. Micah Gaugh is a multi-talented musician, artist and writer. Micah is the lead singer for Electrofetus where he writes and plays the electro-sax; one of the many instruments under his broad command. Micah is also a published writer and poet and an extraordinary large-scale, abstract painter in the vein of Pollack or Basquiat. The event starts at 7 pm with a gallery/guerilla art show by artists Micah Gaugh, Akash X & Thomas Hoppe. This will include live, large-scale mural painting by all artists. The gallery and pre-dance party will be accompanied by live performances from the bands Electrofetus and Ylyptyk. Sponsored Open Bar by Stella Artois Lager and Skyy Vodka from 7 pm to 10 pm. The gallery show and live performance section will give way to the dance party at about 11pm or 12 am and will kick off with Jungle sets by DJs Mentol Nomad, Acustyk, and Alpha K and around 2 or 3 am follow on into Progressive House by DJs Darkstar and Mark Raskin. There will be a custom-made, panoramic multimedia show by Funk Taxi 1533 and Madame Chow, & M.U.S.T.A.R.D. Again, this will be a night to remember. Location: 443 Broadway, 3rd Floor (2 Blocks N. of Canal) Admission fee: $20 for newcomers, $15 if you are on the list. If you have others you would like to put on the list, please send me names and I will get them on the reduced list. Move*ment: The best in underground art & electronic music. The freedom, energy and intimacy of a private loft. Hope to see you there! Curtis Page Move*ment Note: There will be even more ventilation for our next event. For more info on Movement and event history & photos visit: web movementnyc. Must be 21 or older to enter. Hey all, Gotta ask a favor of the list. The guys from House Of Trance are throwing another party August 18 – 20 in upstate New York. Scheduled DJ’s include Gorlation Corporation from Israel, Sundog (John Phantasm) from the UK, and the legendary Goa Gil from India via America. Same gorgeous location as last time, minus the torrential downpour. They’re looking to make this a massive event for trance fans all over the Northeast. What I need is a list of great record shops where they can send flyers. In particular, Philly, DC, Boston and Toronto are major spots for psytrance fans who might want to make the trip. If you can help, please e-mail me names, addresses and phone numbers of any shops which would carry the flyer. Doesn’t have to be just full-on trance shops if you’re familiar with Throb, Satellite, etc. you get the idea. If you’re from someplace outside of New York, you might wanna check some old flyers (if you’re the collecting type like me) for useful info. Big thanks in advance for your help. Hope to see you all there. Pax,

#1089 Review, T. McKenna CD & Morocco ’01 Mon, 7 Aug 2000 15:23:59 From: “sElf Trance Former” Thanks to all who made it out to Long Island City for the rooftop Trinidadan trance barbecue. Sorry the directions were day subway oriented and not night subway oriented. It is a beautiful place – we’ll be having a lot of parties there from now on. The owner wants to start a trance church there with psytrance playing all night and not just 3-6am. These are the only trance parties where some of the bathrooms have bidets. There was beach party down on the jersey shore that same night thrown by Gaian Mind but it got busted by the cops. There may be another outdoor trance party – see the end of this email for directions on how to help contribute to make it happen. Astrid and I will be at Burning Man over Labor Day Online Terrence Shrine on you Crazy Diamond at web tranceam.org/mckenna.html This week, are two items – 1. Terrence McKenna Memorial CD compiled by his brother 2. Info on the big trance party in Morocco for 2001 At last the CDs have been pressed and are ready for distribution! If any of you have a website on which you would be willing to host a small banner your visitors can use to click straight to the CD purchase site, your volunteering that space would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me chriscase at bigfootand I will see to it that you are sent the banner. Sun, 9 Jul 2000 17:23:33 From: djmckenna at aol Journey Through the Spheres is a memorial CD created as a tribute to Terence McKenna by the members of the Novelty Project. Many selfless, kind, and open-hearted people contributed time, money, creative effort, and good energy to create this tribute, which is unique and unprecedented in many ways. Despite repeated delays and frustrations too numerous and bizarre to detail, the CD is now completed and is available for purchase (for details of how to order, visit web truehallucinations ). It is sure to be a must-have for the collections of all of those who admired Terence and his thought and work. I’d first like to publicly acknowledge the people who put this together; and that includes the artists who contributed the music and graphics, the “novelteers” who organized and managed this project, (not to mention coming up with the idea in the first place), and the engineers and manufacturers who put it all together. I’d also like to thank my buddy Maxim, who set up the truehallucinations ordering site, and who, despite efforts to lead an exemplary life has been sucked into this project of his own free will and will be filling all those orders soon to be pouring in…To all of these wonderful people: You’re the best! Terence’s children and I are extremely grateful to all of you for making this project a success. Since the revenues from the sales of the CD are intended primarily as a benefit for Terence’s family, we thought it might be appropriate to let purchasers know how the revenues generated from the sale will be used. 1. A portion of revenues will be used to cover the costs of creating the product, and shipping and handling charges for orders placed. The initial costs of production, pressing of the CD, creation and printing of inserts, etc. were covered through generous donations of time, resources, and money by members of the Novelty Group and others. On behalf of Terence’s family, we gratefully acknowledge these contributions. However, future pressings, and other production- and distribution-related costs, will be covered out of sales revenues so as to not further impose on the generousity or charity of Novelteers and their collaborators. They have created the CD and launched it into the world; it now must sink or swim on its own. 2. A portion of the revenues will be used to pay a small royalty to the associated artists whose creativity made this possible. None of the creators have asked for this. All of the Novelteers have insistently refused any compensation. However, there have been excessive delays and numerous frustrations in getting this product completed and ready to sell. Nothing is more discouraging for an artist than to put time and effort into creative work, meant for others to appreciate and enjoy, and then to see that work prevented from reaching its intended audience through no fault of their own. This has happened with this CD, a circumstance for which all involved are sorry, even though it has been due to circumstances beyond our control. As a small gesture to the artists, to partially (and only partially) make up for the frustration they have experienced, we have decided to allocate 10 of the revenues after costs to the artists, to be distributed among them as they see fit. This is a small royalty and a token only; we recognize that. 3. A portion of the revenues will be used to reimburse Terence’s surviving family members for travel expenses, lost income, and other out of pocket and accumulated expenses incurred over the months that have elapsed since Terence was first diagnosed in May of 1999. 4. If the CD sells well, and excess funds are available after the expenses enumerated above have been covered, the remainder of the revenues will be donated to the estate of Terence McKenna in order to pay some of the outstanding liens against the estate, which include outstanding medical expenses and unpaid taxes, as well as other cash outlays and administrative expenses incurred by the estate. Dear Friends, LOOK FOR US AT BOOM!! Representatives and brainchildren behind MOROCCO2001 will be at Boom in full force, so look for the Moroccan flag (Red with a green star if you didnt already know) and stop and say hi Weve updated the artist page to reflect a new confirmation RAJA RAM of TIP WORLD!!!, notoriously known for Yeti and an integral part of the amazing Shpongle. Morocco is excited to welcome him. On the artist page you will also see descriptions of the Moroccan artists representing the centuries-old Moroccan musical history. On the international travel page, weve listed phone numbers for Moroccan consulates and embassies in most major cities. If you think theres a city were missing, please let us know and we will add it. If any of you are unsure of your visa status, please call them, as its VERY important to have these government annoyances in place well before traveling. Weve also begun to list sites to see while youre there, because one of our main goals is to introduce you to Morocco ALL OF IT not just our beautiful little island party. We encourage you to travel and explore. Soon we will post links to adventure tours and the like. Morocco 2001 will be held this upcoming New Year, from December 30th to January 2nd . This historical festival will be located on an island in the lake Mansour Eddahbi in the region of Ouarzazate, with a view of the snowy High Atlas mountains. A vast Oasis sits at the shoreline and the only construction on the island is a centuries-old ruin of a Moroccan Kasbah (Castle) built by the El Glaoui people who once ruled there. The location is untouched, magnificent, and most of all, surrealistic in its nature. The festival will encompass one of the most sophisticated and intricate sounds of our time. This event is a celebration of this musics great journey. It will trace the history of trance from its tribal roots in North Africa through its universal electronic evolution. This festival will occur over three sunsets and three sunrises… with the inspired participation of contemporary conceptual artists from all over the world. We will also encompass the fine side of traditional Moroccan Arts and the its most unusual entertainment. Invited international artists include: Hallucinogen X Dream Raja Ram Etnica Total Eclipse Deedrah Sun Project Toires Three Point Turn Medicine Drum Infected Mushroom Atmos Anti Adam Ohana Brian and Treavor of Moontribe And more… Check the website for the list of confirmed artists which will be updated periodically. The Moroccan trance will be represented by the Artists that we will choose from the three major non electronic Moroccan trance festivals (Fez, Essaouira, and Marrakech). We will invite the masters of Gnawa, Shrawa and the most prolific musicians of Moroccan Tribal music. The event tickets will be available in record stores all around the world and over the internet. The price will include free boat transportation to the island, free couscous, free dates, fresh fruits, and Moroccan mint tea. Please check the website; web morocco2001 You can now see a photo of the actual site (under Page 2: Location) Check it often as more info will be added periodically. We will be advertising this festival as a cultural event as well as the ultimate celebration of dance music. Official authorization has been obtained by the Governor and local authorities in Ourzazate for this event. They are very supportive and will be extremely helpful in matters of security, transport, and customs. We are extremely ecstatic and excited to announce that we have obtained Royal Air Maroc (the official airline of Morocco) as a sponsor. They will be kind enough to offer airline discounts to all travelers voyaging to Morocco for this event. Stay tuned to the updates and website for further details. We are searching out conceptual artists and crew to help us with building and decoration of the island. Please contact us at any time if you know anyone who may be interested in providing help and inspiration. Contact us any time, and keep us updated of your feelings and feedback as well – it’s a collaborative effort after all! Warmest greetings PLUR Amine, Niki & Carlo Akashic Productions web morocco2001

What happened?? the big security guys mistakenly thought i was was selling somebody somthing ( i was soliciting funds for bridgeparty), got kicked out, went home, astrid made me a disguise w/mustache and beard, slicked my hair back Hitler style, wore glasses and suit, got a limo ride from a doctor friend and got back into the party, tried to buy girls drinks, had a good time, then out on the street struck up a funny conversation with security when they were kicking everybody out after they closed early – you should have seen the look on their faces, you could hear their jaws hit the pavement – then i ran down the street screaming I GOT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

#1107 To: Cc: sCoT 1.0 Review Sun, 13 Aug 2000 17:44:33 From: “sElf Trance Former” Thank you sisters and brothers The most common words I heard was spiritual peaceful and intimate Even though we all through a megabridgeparty two weeks ago This time the worldy goal was quality over quantity and we achieved this goal, especially earlier on… me personally? i did not wish to do yet another “trance party” i wanted somthing more spiritual.. and for a while i think we got it. i came on, even though astrid was not there yet, to get things moving to set a tone. i played evrything from monks chanting to GMS to Dead Can Dance to U2’s Unforgettable Fire. I was pretty tired and cracked out for not sleeping for 3 days. and then james from deeper in zen came on – koan (james horine) played what I consider to be the best set of the evening. there was a weird new organic glow to everything he did – he made an effort to incorprate a theme into his music and not just blast it out. I don’t know if it was his music, the outfits, the bubbles everwhere, the visuals, or ST. Timothy, but I was in another domension for an hour. While Koan was on I was in a Trance. I hereby recommend that Koan becomes a resident DJ. It woould be difficult to put up for a vote because he played from around midnight to 1:30am Yoshik (Alex) Kife (Vlad) Indra (Gosha) kept everyone stomping throughout the night. David West came with a Boston contingent and played Hallucigen and Brown Eyed Girl. Yon-E was supposed to make it and play with Jason of SubtleChaos but he was unable to. The system we now have for DJs is, I fell, as fair as it can possibly get. People were hugging trees There were some people wandering around the intersection looking for a physical church With a smaller, more refined attendance I can honesly say that there were no undesirables or ugly people there We created a small fire Those were the wordly goals The spiritual goals were to take familiar elements (DJs, sound system, lights, people, location) and weave them into a tapestry made of astral thread, so that everything would be perceived in a different light. I truly felt that we had gone higher than ever before. Thanks Thank you Dan D Raver for showing us where to buy the generator Thank you for watching the generator and being the sober voice of reason Thanks to all who brought refreshments Thank you Alex and Elen and DNA Dan and Michael Johnson and Astrid and Stina for getting everything out of storage by the deadline Thank you all for helping us move everything down the hill and back up afterwards Thanks to Gideon for bringing fruit Thank you Boston tribalists for making a pilgrimage Thanks to Mojo and Jamie for bringing Nitrous and projectors and the bubble machine – i am so glad we had nitrous for this event and not at the mega Bridgeparty Thanks to the fire dancers who came Thanks to those who put up with the village idiot, the shirtless drunken tripping irishman. He is banned for three months from any church of trance festivities. Thanks to Yivgeni for walking around smiling alive’ Thanks to the NYPD for walking up, looking around a little confusedly, surprisingly, with a little smirk, going around the party a bit, and then LEAVING! (They had followed two people into the park thinking they were going to buy ds. They walked right into our service. Miraculously, they were fine with it. I gave them a million dollar bill.) Thanks to the guy with the Didgeridoo Thanks to everyone who endured the bullshit getting there, but I hope you’ll agree that it was worth the labyrinthine Byzantine shell game. We survived. I vote that we continue on this direction. It feels right. I hope to somebody to be completely serving you and our community 100%. I want to be the guy who lives in the church, drives the church van with the church generator and church sound system organizing the church trance events. I want to be able to have us get married in our own church. This shoe is becoming a better and better fit.

#1108 Sun, 13 Aug 2000 22:32:58 I wanna thank YOU! brainmachines at egroups From: dandraver at aol Like he title says, I wanna thank YOU! Not only was the congregation an incredible experience, but the events leading up to the mass seems like the things that movies, books, and legends are made of. YOU are incredible. The running around in Jersey, the moving of the equipment from 5 flights up in a warehouse to the van, the guy from Brooklyn with the cellphone, the rain, the mud, the moving of the equipment, was all an experience I know that I won’t forget, and in the future, look forward to again. The donation of the generator, I hope, will be a start. Soon, we’ll have our own sound system plus. Maybe one day we can get a church to party at. THAT would be somthing. Jeff, DNA Dan, Alex, Mike the therapist, the lovely ladies who were piled into the van, and everyone who made this happen, I’m looking forward to our next sermon. Dan

#1116 Cc: sCoT 1.0 and the NYPD Tue, 15 Aug 2000 10:58:43 From: “sElf Trance Former” Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2000 6:14 PM [ChurchofTrance] NYPD: CoT 1.0 Review Thanks to the NYPD for walking up in the morning, looking around a little confusedly at all the dancers and banging trance, surprisingly, then with a little smirk, going around the party a bit, and then LEAVING! (They had followed two people into the park thinking they were going to buy ds. They walked right into our service. Miraculously, they were fine with it. I gave them a million dollar bill.) Exactly at that moment I was spinning and Aleks came to me and asked for CD. Folllowing conversation: – What for? – I want to give it to somebody. Do you have a copy? – Yes I have a copy of Logic Bomb “Hardware”. Who do you want to give it ?? – Some cops.. – at There is a cop over there, he doesn’t want to leave until he gets a CD with ‘this kind of music’ – Stop kidding me, wtf?? … and so on … So, I hope the dude will enjoy Logic Bomb – album is great :o) I pretty sure he has also some confiscated dope – let him a great time as he let us. Let it be the Peace between us! Boom, Gosha..

We also may organize a Fuck the Yuppies event at the old Electric Circus on St. Mark’s this Sunday day. Hope fully free for the d members. 2 17 yr old Romaian needs temp. housing: Jeff, here’s someone looking for a place to stay while visiting New York, maybe you can help this girl. vadim “Alina Pruteanu” To:vadim at chaishop Hi! 08/23/2000 05:33 AM Hi! My name is Alina and I’m 17 f Romania. I know this message is coming unexpected and I’m sorry if it bothers you, but I really needed to talk to someone in New York. First I want you to know that I got your e-mail address from the ICQ Whitepages and you were the first one I found there and the only one I wrote to (just a superstition of mine). Second, I’m sorry if this message has spelling mistakes (I don’t know English at all and I’m using a program that translates from Romanian to English and vice-versa). Now, I’ll tell you the reason I’m writing this letter: I work as a model in my town for about 3 years now and the agency has come up with the idea of organizing a contest which has a visa for United States as the big prize. Well, I won the first edition of this contest and you can’t imagine how happy and excited I feel, especially because I’ll be able to make a lot of money there (here the payment is about $50 a month). Now, you’ll ask me what does all this have to do with you. Well, I have to find a place to live in New York (the agency I’m working at here has connections with a big modelling agency from there, but they can’t arrange that and the hotels are very expensive) in less than two weeks because that’s when the visa expires and I wanted to know if you could help me with that (of course, after we get to know each other better). You probably think I’m exagerating or just making fun of you, it happens so often these days on the Internet and you can’t trust no one, so I’ll understand if you think that way, just tell me. I wanted to be sincere with you from the beginning and tell you what my intentions are. Anyway, if you can arrange that, I’ll pay the rent, I’m just hoping to find a place cheaper than a hotel room. So, if you think that what I told you is not too much to ask, I’d really like to know you better, and, if you’re interested, I’ll tell you more about myself. I attached a pic to this message (I think it’s the best one I ever made at the agency and I hope you’ll like it) and I also hope I didn’t bore you with this long message. Love, Alina
#1120 Thu, 24 Aug 2000 18:17:10 Dancing in NYC From: “Machine Elf” From the Village Voice A DJ spins mellow breakbeats inside the meatpacking district bar Baktun as a film of a house party in stop-action is projected onto a hanging screen. A woman sits at a table, watching the film, entranced by the beauty of human movement. But those characters on the screen are the only ones who are allowed to dance here. On the opposite side of the city, a red light illuminates dancers in the basement of a Lower East Side nightclub. (The nightclub asked to remain unnamed, for fear of a police raid that could shut it down.) The drums rattle out a rhythm as one of the band members leans into the mike. “It’s illegal to dance. Did you hear about that? It’s some crazy law. So if a cop comes down here, you have to stop,” he says, the audience nodding in defiant outrage. “You know, we’re outlaws.” Several blocks away, on Avenue B, a No Dancing sign dangles over the bar at the Lakeside Lounge. “Is that a joke?” asks Brian Rubenstein, who just flew in from Chicago. His voice mingles with the blues track that wails through the bar’s speakers and resonates off its brick walls. “How can you play music and expect people not to dance? I can’t believe, of all the cities, New York would have a law like this.” “Dancing is one of the oldest forms of human expression,” says Rubenstein’s friend Michael Gordon. “It’s a basic human right.” But not in Rudy Giuliani’s city. In recent years, the mayor has waged a war on dancing, and we’re not just talking about the topless kind. He’s armed himself with the cabaret law, which bans dancing in nightclubs that lack a cabaret license. The law was originally designed to crack down on Prohibition-era speakeasies and Harlem jazz clubs, but had lain dormant for over 70 years. That was until Giuliani’s administration dusted it off about four years ago and began enforcing it against legal nightclubs. In protest against Rudy’s crackdown on illegal dancing, the Dance Liberation Front will stage its fourth major rally on August 27, called “The Million Mambo March.” Founded by comedians Robert Pritchard and Jen Miller, also known as Deputy Disco Fever and Osama bin Travolta, the group hopes to spread awareness of the cabaret law and garner support for its eradication. Miller says she expects 400 to 600 people to boogie down in support of the DLF cause. These happy-footed fanatics will march from Tompkins Square Park to Washington Square Park to spread their message that tripping the light fantastic is not a crime. “One thing about us is that we’re not the best dancers in the world,” says Miller, who wore camouflage and a tutu to the group’s last event. “But the law is so stupid that we want to fight it with complete absurdity and humor.” Along the way, they plan to stop intermittently to dance and hear brief speeches from DLF organizers. “People ask me, ‘Why do you choose to protest a dance law when there are so many other atrocities in the world,’ ” says Miller. But this is about more than just dancing to her. “It’s a free speech issue. Once you attack dance, what’s next?” Other DLF events have included a twist-a-thon in Times Square, the hokey-pokey around City Hall, a conga line up Avenue A, and a rally in front of the Richard Rodgers Theatre, where Footloose was playing. Miller’s cohort, Pritchard, insists that social dancing is an expressive right. “If you give the government the right to tell you that you can’t fidget, they’re getting into your womb, your head, your body,” he says. “At what point is it dancing, though? What if five people start doing a minimal rhythmic movement? What if you bounce on your toes and then move one arm?” Pritchard objects most to Rudy’s overzealous enforcement of the cabaret law and his one-size-fits-all approach. “Giuliani’s treating restaurants with jukeboxes as if they were warehouse-size discos,” he says. “The mayor dusts off arcane restrictions on our personal integrity and uses them to bludgeon honest businessmen and people who are out to have a good time.” Though no dancing signs have sprung up throughout the city, few people know about this law or its scope. “If I see someone dancing, I’ll give them 30 seconds before I tell them to stop, because I know it’s illegal,” says Lakeside Lounge bouncer Mark Kalbin. Lakeside is by no means a dance club. In fact, there’s very little room even to move around. But four years ago, the club was ticketed because a fire inspector identified two people as dancing to a live band. The bar’s co-owner, Jim Marshall, was told he would be padlocked for the weekend if anyone was caught dancing again. “I actually knew the law,” Marshall says. “I just didn’t think it would be enforced at that level& a couple of girls shaking it while the band was playing.” Indeed, many bars& Baby Jupiter, Coney Island High, Hogs and Heifers, Vain, and countless others& have been shut down the second time police have witnessed unlicensed dancing on their premises. “They tend to shut you down on a Friday night, so that you have to stay closed for the weekend,” says attorney Robert Bookman, who represents the New York Nightlife Association, a coalition of nightclubs formed four years ago. So to keep bars from breaking the law every time someone moves to the music, Bookman and the NYNA plan to discuss amending the cabaret law with City Council members. They hope to include a provision for “incidental dancing” that would specify a minimum number of people who have to be jiggling before a club is violating the law. Marshall has been strictly enforcing the no dancing law ever since he was ticketed for turning a blind eye to Lakeside customers’ illegal undulations. “We just try to explain to people that it’s not our doing, but the law is that they can’t dance,” he says. “We live in an atmosphere where almost nothing is tolerated. It could be one person standing in front of the jukebox shaking their ass, and that would be illegal.” “There’s no exception in the law,” says Bookman. During cross- examination, inspectors have described dancing to him as anything from “moving rhythmically,” to “gyrating up and down.” Bookman says they have even taken out dictionaries, which offer a multitude of definitions for dancing, including “twitching.” Even more frustrating is that Lakeside is located in a residential zone, and cabaret licenses are given out only to clubs located in manufacturing or dense commercial zones. But aside from Giuliani’s unprecedented enforcement of the antiquated cabaret law, his administration is also making it almost impossible for many nightclubs that are properly zoned to get a license. “It’s the administrative baton with which we are all being beaten,” says Baktun manager Philip Rodriguez. He has been trying to get his cabaret license for almost one year, but his efforts have been stalled in the Department of Buildings, and he says his bureaucratic somersaults aren’t getting him anywhere. “Inspectors have described dancing as anything from ‘moving rhythmically’ to ‘gyrating up and down.’ They’ve even taken out dictionaries, offering a multitude of definitions, including ‘twitching.’ ” Baktun opened two years ago as a cyberplatform: a physical space from which to run live webcasts and to promote cutting-edge electronic music and digital film on the Internet. Several months later, the club received two summonses for operating an “unlicensed cabaret.” Rodriguez says he installed the necessary additional safety requirements soon after receiving his first summons, and that he has been doing all he can both to get the stamp of approval he needs from the buildings department and to stop people from dancing in his club. He has blocked any open spaces with furniture and has hired another security guard to stand in the middle of the dance floor, instructing people to stop shimmying. “It’s like a militarized zone in there,” says Rodriguez. “We have to tell people to stand still. It’s absurd.” He points out that cabaret licenses are required for both strip clubs and dance clubs& “the two taboo businesses in New York City,” he says. “It’s kind of ironic that we’re lumped together.” With the mayor’s crackdown on pornography, Rodriguez suggests, all applications for cabaret status are being forced to seep slowly through the city’s bureaucratic molasses. Even after Rodriguez gets the building department’s approval, he’ll have to go through several more layers of city government before he can get his cabaret license, including getting approval from his local community board and the Department of Consumer Affairs. Meanwhile, Baktun has received four more summonses from the consumer affairs and police departments. The bar has lost over 60 percent of its business and can survive financially for only another two months. Rodriguez says he has been unable to support as many artists and musicians as he did before the crackdown. “My hands are full dealing with bureaucracy and nickel-and- diming my books,” he says. “I don’t produce anything creative anymore.” Rodriguez sits solemnly on his bar stool. “This would have been illegal 70 years ago too,” he says, looking toward the horn player, who is blaring a solo over a groove laid down by the drummer in the other room. The cabaret law originally restricted not only dancing, but also music: Specifically, it required a cabaret license for bars where more than three musicians were playing, or where the instruments played included percussion or a horn. New York University law professor Paul Chevigny speculates that the law was written to zone jazz out of existence. Twelve years ago, he successfully challenged the constitutionality of the portions of the law that applied to music. Yet musicians say their livelihood can still be quashed as a result of Giuliani’s hegemonic rule. For George Tabb, whose punk band Furious George has been playing gigs in the city for 20 years, increased enforcement of the cabaret law is still affecting musicians. “It’s like a domino effect,” he says. He remembers when the cabaret law was used to shut down illegal parties where he was playing, but he never expected it to be used against legitimate clubs. Tabb says the law is limiting the venues where he can play because nightclubs are decreasing the number of nights they devote to live music out of fear that someone might dance. “People like to dance when listening to music. That’s not happening, because people can’t move.” In the 1920s, lawmakers reasoned that the cabaret law would protect patrons from the immoral influences of nightlife. Today, Giuliani defends the law with a similar ethos: “The rule makes sense, and it is helpful in terms of improving the quality of life of all of the neighborhoods of New York City,” he told the Daily News in 1997. Repeated phone calls to the mayor’s office for comment on the law and its enforcement were not returned. “The cabaret laws were written right after prohibition to regulate an industry that had been dominated by criminal figures,” says Robert Bookman. “Seventy years later, we still have the same law regulating dancing, even though much of it has been found to be unconstitutional.” Now Giuliani has stepped up enforcement of a law that Bookman says resembles a piece of Swiss cheese. “It’s very old and filled with holes.” From Giuliani’s perspective, the law’s purpose is twofold: to protect a nightclub’s patrons and neighbors from unsafe conditions and obtrusive noise. Last September, former consumer affairs commissioner Jules Polonetsky defended the cabaret law by recalling the 1990 fire that killed 87 people in the Bronx venue Happyland. But Happyland, argues Bookman, was an illegal social club that had never even been inspected by the fire department. “Now the cabaret law is used as an additional weapon against legal nightclubs,” he says. “When a club is otherwise licensed, they’ll try to catch a couple people moving.” New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Normal Siegel predicts that historians 20 years from now will see this period in New York City’s history as a time when freedom was trampled upon. He says that aside from Giuliani’s myopic view of freedom, the crackdown on nightclubs “is also part of the antifun policies of the Giuliani administration. “You had a group of people who had a different vision of what freedom is about, and they used the police to carry out their vision,” says Siegel. He plans on challenging the constitutionality of the remaining parts of the cabaret law. But he also acknowledges that it won’t be easy. This is because in 1989, one year after Chevigny’s case was resolved, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that social dancing is not protected by the First Amendment. “People say to me, this is not that significant because it’s only restricting dancing,” says Siegel. “But that’s how you lose your freedom; it comes incrementally.”

#1122 Fri, 25 Aug 2000 16:10:20 Day Tripping From: “Machine Elf” Brainmachines, in association with the global Million Musician March and the Pot Parade, will host a trance dance religious service this Sunday at the infamous old Electric Circus space from the 1960s. This is the community center on 23 St. Marks, in the old community center where the steps were painted NO dS etc. this Sunday 8am- 5pm, $10. Starting at 12:30pm, some DJs that have demonstrated their spritual mettle with the Devotional Ministry of Trance will be taking us to a higher chakra religious journey. So far – Deeper in Zen & Machinelf. This service is part of a larger full-on art extravaganza. Lighting, fog, bubble machine, nitrous, by Mojo. This space is about to be bought by a bunch of yuppies, so this is the last hurrah for anarchic psychedelic rebellion. The timing is too short for the Devotional Ministry of Trance to be involved, as we would have to vote on everybody and if we would do it, but the spirit will be the same. That, and all proceeds are not going into the d’s treasury. Some, but not all. But come, it should be wild and spiritual, and will be a day service for a change. “Welcome to our Historic Neighborhood! The location where Jimi Hendrix built the Electric Lady sound studios; Where Barbra Streisand debuted at the Bon Soir and where Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney founded the Whitney Museum and Andy Warhol and Lou Reed created the citadel of Hippiedom at the Electric Circus on St Marks Place.”

#1125 Fri, 25 Aug 2000 20:18:04 Vadim Returns and Open Letter to the HOT From: “Machine Elf” News Flash – The Return of Vadim from Israel – Jason & Vadim of SubtleChaos will be joining Koan of Deeper in Zen and Machinelf this Sunday at the old Electric Circus on at 23 St Marks, 8am-5pm, psytrance kicks in 12:30pm-5pm, $10. This is NOT a Devotional Ministry of Trance event, not thed, but maybe you could say it is inspired by d and thed. And N,N-d, too. A lot of us will be tripping balls on holy water, though, and if you do not approve of that you really have no business there 😉 No response from HOT from this message, nor from my other emails to that address. So here is the original text: To Ely from Jeff Nice party. Thank you for bringing Goa Gil to New York. For that alone you have done the unprecedented. Thank you for trusting me by letting this caton benzona in. I know I like to get carried away, and maybe unintentionally cause trouble for more responsible trance people. This is a great opportunity to solidify your place in bringing the true trance experience to the U.S. and show Americans what it is all about. All in all, it was a nice experience. I understand where you have been taking this, now. You have been through a lot of hard times with the store in the past but now stand to see the fruits of your labor. It is good to see people chipping in to promote your events. We can unite, and help you go to the next level if you want, with additional manpower and help – if you want it. Yet there is some unfinished business to take care of before your kundalini can shoot straight up your spine. Someone should apologize to Uri and Dhea at web magick-circle. 718-462-6299 They got permission from Ely at HOT to bring juice makers and do yoga and massage. Urio physically came into the store last week. They are very wonderful and spiritual people. When they came to the HOT event and began setting up, they were rudely accosted and were threatened with expulsion by several HOT employees, and from I heard, Ely did nothing and everyone at HOT acted like Uri HAD NOT GONE IN to the HOT to get permission. They were treated like dirt. These two people were not just random New Agers. They are well esconced in the local psy trance scene and are very respected. A lot of people found this out. They did NOT have to be treated with the lack of respect like they did. With all the work you did to make the experience wonderful out in the forest, you risk damaging the goodwill that you have created. I can understand if you do not want other people to take part in your vision, even if it involves bringing fruits to a trance party where you are selling hot dogs and hamburgers to a bunch of vegetarians. The salad and everything were great, BTW. I love red meat, and thanks for the chai and popsicles too. I respect what you are doing. But if someone gets permission to bring fruits etc, and you give them permission, why were the people such assholes to them? My theory is that they talked to the OTHER Eli not Ely or however your names might be different. I say this to help you in the future, because right now all these issues are going around 1500 email boxes, on my two email list of 650 new york trance people and mark’s list of 1000 North American trance people. Your event was the best outdoor festival ever held in New York. For this reason alone I want HOT of be bad karma-free. I want to be able to freely support you in all of your endeavors. I understand that there has been an accusation of Alex of Alphatrance stealing a minidisc player from Ely. I tell you, I have worked very closely with Alex for years and he wouyld NEVER EVER EVER EVER steal anything. He is extremely honest and sincere. I stand behind him 100%. And this accusation made for a rift between the two largest trance groups in New York, the Israelis and the Russians, that has *never* healed. Nevertheless all the Russians and Israelis had a beautiful time together. As for my old roomate/your ex-employee Lisa and you know Dave, and the bad blood with the physical threat and money, I will perhaps too optimistically write that off to a Acid Physyx debt with Gula and Marco. I may be wrong on this. Whatever. It is not my intention to sow discord hear, just heal wounds and bring us all together. I wish Gula and Marco would have been here to see Goa Gil. We all saw him in Burning Man two years ago. My point is, you have the potential for being a rallying point for trance in New York. But there are still fences to be mended. I wish you the best of luck. I myself have hurt people with a cheap airline ticket scam, but I am doing my best to make it OK again by going to the authorities. None of us are perfect. When you are trying to make the impossible happen, it is hard to accomodate everyone. Everybody wants somthing, and your time is limited, and you are stressed about the weather and the media and the police and the whole “caton benzona”s in the local scene here. I’ve thought a lot about it, really. Maybe it is an Israeli/American cultural miscommunication we have. We Americans are not out to get you guys. You have no reason to be paranoid. We are not agents of Arafat. Thank you for helping bring everybody together. God bless you and I wish you the best and look forward to the next. Please respond. Thanks.

#1126 Fri, 25 Aug 2000 20:56:51 Status on Will/Greg the Man who Burns From: “Machine Elf” I was going to the police when i got this email… do NOT alert Will/Greg about what is going down… Jeff: Don’t bother…this is already under investigation by the Airline Reporting Commission, who, believe me, have a much better chance of doing somthing about this, than the NYC police. The tickets are technically stolen, because they do not belong to this person…it is extremely complicated and the only reason I know all this is because I was an agent for 6 years, and my Father owned the agency…therefore I have alot of “back office” knowledge. I have contacted both the owner of the agency whose ARC ID under was being used illegally, and have contacted the ARC as well to alert an agent there. The travellers who have the tickets WILL NOT be punished, it is not their fault…however they will probably be refused boarding at the airport once a ticket or gate agent pulls up the reservation. Then, the only way that traveler will get on that flight is by purchasing another legitimate ticket then and there. Authorities has been alerted, and at this point, all we can do is pass along any details that may help them track him. Thanks for all your help! PS Quite honestly, and I do not mean to offend you or anyone else, but a person who buys a plane ticket from a guy with a pager who meets them on the street corner, regardless of who/where they obtained the referral, is making their own decision to proceed, and cannot blame anyone but themselves for foolish choice. And, no, sadly there probably is NO hope of anyone getting their money back.

#1130 Wed, 30 Aug 2000 20:43:03 Tsunami Sunday From: “Machine Elf” A pre-release OPEN AIR party Sunday, September 3, 2000 Location: Sunset Terrace (Open air) Pier 61, Chelcea Piers, Manhattan Time: 10pm – 4am (All weather event with roof cover) Price: $20 only at the door (21+ bring ID) AFTERHOURS party will be announced at the party.

#1131 Thu, 31 Aug 2000 19:09:29 TONIGHT! From: “Machine Elf” There is a 50% chance that I will help organize another party at the old Electric Circus space at 23 St. Marks upstairs, TONIGHT, Thursday. $10. The space is unbelievable, you can FEEL the volumes of psychedelics done in this space… the sound and acoustics, excellent. Last Sunday some people thought it was 9pm-5am not 9am-5pm. Stay tuned… an email will go out around 5pm, or call the info line after 7pm at Also, if you are a local psytrance DJ call me privately if you would like to play. Bring CDs. This was the original psychedelic discotheque in the 60s started by Andy Warhol and Lou Reed. It is an impressive, well-kept-up location. Tonight is the last night that it will be in the community’s hands. It’s getting torn down by to make way for private housing, i.e. my guess is CONDOS for YUPPIES.
#1132 Thu, 31 Aug 2000 23:40:36 Info on a party tonight From: “Machine Elf” us…. Shady details but it will be from 9-12. There will be video projections and such. I am saying this not because we are involved, which we are not, but because there is NOTHING ELSE IN MANHATTAN until tsunami sunday, and even the downstairs space where we will be is a cool setup. But it may be chill, so get there right at 9 and do not dose until you get the vibe. And if you do be prepared to be on the streeet at midnght with a lot of other trippers. 23 St. Marks downstairs 9pm-12am. Thursday, TONIGHT. I don’t know who is throwing down tonight, but it will be a good idea to come not going to Burning Man as we had planned. P.S. As we are not responsible for this event, do not blame me if it is not 100% cool, esp. if you missed Sunday, which we in fact were behind. I am sick of low level low involvement weekend warriors who are Consumers above all… don’t ever be one of them…

#1143 Mon, 11 Sep 2000 20:01:16 Explanation of the lists From: “Machine Elf” The brainmachines list grows by myself handing out million dollar bills to people that are interested in brain machines. Many people have gotten into the local NYC trance scene because of the list, including Alphatrance events, MAX. The d list grows by trance heads donating $15. I manually subscribe them after I receive $15 via Paypal. If someone has done a lot for the local scene I added them on, for free. In my perspective, those added for free have no reason to complain. The police officer in question likes what we do and used to own a techno club in Brooklyn. He originally popped up at the last d service when he saw two people going into the park, he followed them in and came upon us, and again, let us continue. He got a Logic Bomb CD. At the event last Friday he just hung back and kept to himself and only went into action when the idiot who was obnoxiously going around to everybody soliciting selling E went up to the cop. I am GLAD that asshole got arrested. Anyone who wanders around spelling out the letters of the alphabet deserves to go to jail. I don’t know about any of you, but I have gotten a pretty negative view of ANYONE who goes around selling ds at ANY event. It kills the vibe regardless of who does it, and if it is ever done in plain view at a d event I will work to stop it. This is RELIGION. Please get yourself sorted before coming to the service. These events are not and will not ever become open air d markets. We have too much to lose. And BTW, the police officer did not come back after he arrested the obnoxious d dealer. We have an extra level of security at the bridge events. I am taking a sabbatical for a while. This will give us time to get more paying members.

#1147 Tue, 12 Sep 2000 18:11:39 Note on lists From: “Machine Elf” I hope this clears everything up. The d list costs $15 to join. It is a religious group dedicated to organizing outdoor trance events. They vote online for who will DJ. If Brainmachines list is a free for all as you say Max, it was created from scratch, member by member. No one could find out about it except through word of mouth. There has never been an event busted by the police except for one for noise two years ago called Dopamine Detergent. I have promoted probably hundreds of events on the brainmachines list and there has never been identifiable miscreants. Well, one, and he was removed. The PsyTrance list originally came from a bunch of emails collected at Tsunami events. Many people hated the crowd at Tsunami events. I’ll let you finish the syllogism. Why don’t you go up to the most undesirable people at any event you see and ask them how they found out about the event, rather than pointing fingers? The plain truth is, most of the trance people are Israeli, and very few Israelis have emails. So the fact that brainmachines has 603 members in the local NYC area and PsyTrance has 200 nationwide should tell you that there will be a lot more individuals on the brainmachines list who only rarely make it to events. But that does noty make them any more or less desirable. Believe me, coming from someone who attends 98% of all trance events in NYC, the vast majority of trance fanatics attend 20-30% of all events, tops. There are cliques, there are weekend warriors from all lists. I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that there will never ever be a unified scene as long as we are homo sapiens. Oh, occasionally at Sythetic Saddhus, when we aren’t getting groped by security, or at when the sound is working, can hundreds upon hundreds of us feel as one.

Many people hated the crowd at Tsunami events. I’ll let you finish the syllogism. WTF?!?! That is totally wrong. The psy-trance list never had anything at all to do with emails collected at Tsunami events. What the hell ever gave you that idea?!? I don’t know why you have decided to libel the psy- trance list, but you should post a correction to Brainmachines immediately. So the fact that brainmachines has 603 members in the local NYC area and PsyTrance has 200 nationwide should tell you that there will be a lot more individuals on the brainmachines list who only rarely make it to events. That makes no sense at all, and even more so, it’s completely irrelevant. If you say you aren’t going to post the directions to the Brainmachines list, then you shouldn’t post the directions to the Brainmachines list, and that’s the bottom line.
