-- Dear Raul,
Pages (16): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 [12] 13 14 15 16 »

even though i havent seen raul in yrs im still distraught over this.. yeah he was dark and had his own unique personality. even back then i realized he was unhappy about something. you could tell. only his family and close friends will know what was really bothering him. as he kept to himself for the most part.

he defintly had a lot of friends and i never met anyone in my life that was so hardcore about trance. so much so that when i started to like house he lead the charge against me along with damon (who always hated me) off TA lol .. Raul was a true TA. its a shame what occured and a bigger shame intervention could not come soon enough

from lurking the boards on and off you can tell he was loved esp by the remaining old school crew... he was a nice guy who sadly left us too soon.

i remember once we drove up together to Mama Mias for markus with Arturo. (best times for me with the TA's) and of course the old school get togehers he helped coordinate at that place that used to be next to space when eric and other TA's spun and even Edgar as we played games

was a kid at heart ... loved games even more than I do. while we disagreed about music tastes the last time i saw him we def agreed on videogames .. its a real shame. ive been thinking about him since i found out 2 days ago by reading the boards.. cant get it out of my head i cant believe what happened.


RIP Raul

i've come to realize how important these online interactions may be to people. it's easy being an asshole on the internet but why be an asshole/troll when you can spend your time making friends, who you may eventually meet in the physical. i spent my whole high a couple of days ago going through this & the other thread about da & it is amazing how he had so much love to spread, even over the internet.

may the mans soul rest in peace

believe it.

I am grateful for meeting such a wonderful person and all our memories .

it's fuking hard - i'll tell you that. It's not getting any easier. My boyfriend just attempted to play a trance set and I couldn't listen at all.

This is someone who I partied almost every weekend. Forget about doing something like PvD on NYE. I definitely won't be able to take it. Not for a while.

Same here!!!!

I have met some amazing people on TA and I love that Raul was one of them.

Hang in there Melly, remember that when your boyfriend plays his Trance set Raul will always be right there jamming along.

Remember that we are all here for you and for everyone else that needs it. We are friends even when the party ends !!!

I remember at the November BBQ when my boyfriend was playing he really liked Steve Brian - YaYa (Ronski Speed Remix)

being in miami makes things easier. i have family and friends i never see and i have friends going through the same thing i am.


new york is just torturous.


i just need a place to go and this thread is it.

Remember, the one thing that DA always wanted was for everyone to be happy. I know NYE is out of the picture but hopefully his legacy lives on and people will be happy because of what he did for everyone over time.

One thing I have seen over and over is how DA was the first FLTA to welcome them with open arms. This is extremely strong how much this seemed to have occurred. It says wonders for him and what a shame it is to lose such a great person.

Thank you

Hi everyone, i wrote in the chill out room but i'll introduce myself here...im Raul's niece and i was the first to recieve a phonecall when the incident happened..I haven't been on TA for 4 years and it feels so weird writing here and not being able to see my uncle write after me. I want to thank all of his friends, especially all that could come to the funeral service and my house afterwards. Thank you for writing great memories about him and posting up pictures. My family and i thank you all for all your kind words and thoughts.Although this was the hardest even in my life, it has taught me a tough lesson. Please appreciate and savor every moment you have with friends and loved ones.

Thanks

WOW. talk about atom bomb..

I poke my head in from time to time and would have never thought something like this would really happen, although admittedly, he never really seemed happy whenever I would see him. I hope that his soul finds peace and it breaks me to know that he is no longer here..

Just last night I was listening to a set that he recorded for me of my set at Blue back in 07..and then it jumped to one of his sets at a party I held at my home.. alot of Above and Beyond. His eyes would light up during conversations of music amongst other dj's and had an appreciation for trance that some people (even dj's) may never have.. Raul was the kind of person that grew on people over time and a big regret I have is not being able to have another conversation with him.

May he rest in peace amongst the angels.

is this for real?!?! Raul is gone?!!?!? WHAT HAPPENED?! Please someone PM me about this, he was a good friend

oo yeah. it's pretty fuking real.


i miss my brother <3

Hey, just got done perusing the ol' inbox and came across oh so many correspondences from the past years....anyone have his fuck valentines day mix? I remember he always thought they was over the top w/the explosions and screams but it always ushered in a new season in my mind....damn, we need to get all of his mixes back up, R.I.P again & it seems so surreal he's gone.

Hey Nina, there you are. It was a wonderful pleasure meeting you and your family as well, considering the circumstance. It was also more than our pleasure to be part of Raul's memorial service. The look on your Grandmother's face and the emotions she showed to learn that her son did indeed have so many friends and people outside of his family that loved and appreciated him was indescribable. That moment will forever stay engraved in my head, as well as the warm welcome you and your family extended towards us.

Again no need to thank us for anything, it was our obligation as Raul's Friends to be there for Him and His Family. These are the moments that really count and the ones that will always be remembered.

Say hello to your family and I hope you guys had a wonderful Xmas and that you have a Happy New Year.

It was great finally meeting you and everyone else even though i wish i could have met you guys at the bbq. It definitely helped my grandmother and my mother to know he has such loving friends. I really hope you enjoyed your Christmas with your family and friends and i wish you a Happy New year. Although this has been a tough year i'm going to look forward to 2010 and wish for the best!

Ive been in and out of town, I cant describe what I feel I was just planning on contacting him .... I can't believe this!
Im Sad.

And I miss he's memorial service man I wish I would've known or would have been told about this but I dont blame anyone Ive been out for too long..

Where was the service ? where is he resting ?

I know that he's in a better place..

He truly was a good friend, We had many long talks, he was very giving, perhaps the one attribute that I appreciate from him the most.

I have received so many pictures of Raul and I. WOW!

We hung out so much that it's hard to remember them all. These pictures have brought back even more memories than I could have remembered.




I still can't believe I lost such a great friend.

I never got a chance to meet the guy.

Been so damn busy.

Originally posted by Ouwe Dwaas yeah we def had. also great times at Area51 when you and Suzy Solar had to play, at Blue as well and more moments. It's still unbelievable I told him on msn, I think 2-3 weeks ago, that I was looking forward seeing him in March, when I'm coming over to FL. When I'm in FL in March, maybe someone can bring me to his resting place to honor him?

Bring me too...

I think this should be stickied for quite some time, no? :\


A big part of FLTA is gone.

Ok so no one responded....anyone have any of his mixes? I'd love to forever have them.

Originally posted by Echo of Silence Melly asked me to share these here with you guys. As many of you know... Raul shared a lot of his vampire stories and his mixes with his best friends and fans on Ourboard. Ourboard is a message board that Boomers made after we closed our big "conversation" thread on the westcoast forum back in 2004. Raul was a big part of our big thread on TA and later, a regular poster on ourboard. As someone said somewhere, he was a good soul, a beautiful person. I for one, read and thoroughly enjoyed all of his vampire stories...and I listened to and appreciated all of his trance mixes. I'm uploading a few of those sets...if anyone would like to listen, here are the links for dl: http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...iHolidayMix.mp3 http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...e12-6-06V22.mp3 http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...11-21-06V14.mp3 http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...11-20-06V13.mp3 http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...o1ARevision.mp3 http://echos.discoboomer.com/Raul/D...Mix11-15-06.mp3 Raul had a lot of fun making these sets. I'm uploading them now so give them some time to get up. My condolences to all who loved him and treasured him. We did. We will miss him greatly.

Word,thank you oh so much and I again am....you know what I mean but he shall never be forgotten and shall live on in our hearts from now until the end of time.I do want us all to at least get together one day during the WMC and lay some flowers at his grave side....that's the absolute least we could do as a group, just a thought.


edit-I hope I'm not out of place for saying this.

Well said milf...thank you so much nina for everything. I know things won't be the same anymore but we've got to try to be strong and try to get through this. The good memories with him will always be engraved in my mind and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say this. Stay strong girlie xoxo <3
