With tears in my eyes I am typing this. With great regret I have to say we only have 2 more HQs left at the Melkweg Amsterdam. This is truly an end of and of an era.
HQ has had some great times at the Melkweg, but now the Melkweg thinks it time to replace us after 9 years of hard work with a cutting edge night which I will not name (no way I am giving any free promotion to them). Why they wanted our Friday and not another one I don’t know. But I would like o say big thank you to all the staff from the Melkweg past and present, which have put up with us. The Melkweg is a great venue and it will be missed, I guess my dream of closing the Max one day has been taken away from me, I am gutted. Of course we had big plans for next year at the Melkweg for the HQ 10 years birthday party and on the night before Queensday in 2005, but now there on hold.
But the result is we are leaving the Melkweg for a new top secret venue. We will be taking a small break for a few months then we will be back better than ever. But the point is we are out of the Melkweg. If I think back to all the good times I had there: Tony de Vit, Tinrib, Moss, JP closing for the first time and my MC-ing! Always denied it this till now! Last month Scot Project and the Organ Donors!, HQ #100, and all the friends I met there, from past and present. Hearing Tom play “Get Wicked” at 3am and Steve hill ripping it up. Glazby closing, Fausto first set there with the shirt, glen drunk again! Me drunk again! The Riot edition! Yoji blowing one side of the speakers! Energy Dai blowing up all the fuses! Hearing JP play “Its time to burn” when sweat dripping from the roof because the airco was broken! Charlotte Birch asking Jon Rundell how the cds players work. Tom’s records jumping, Proteus and the whip, all the drunk DJs! The diners with the good food and friends in the café, it really is over whelming. Boy I will miss it!
But when I think of what has grown of the HQ at Melkweg, I know it for the best when we come back, we are going to really shake it up, we are going to leave with a bang and on a high. We are now set to take harddance and hardhouse to next level, so watch this space. Because this the beginning of a new chapter of HQ, the proof will be seen at HQXL and the last 2 HQ’s.……….. BRING IT ON!
