GC NEC - April

was SSS you first TA meetup then?
nah, April NEC
duh, of course
our next excursion to the world of GC
that was great
yeah it was fantastic
it went well fast though
yeah, so many memorable moments
but it was the first really big UKTA meetup
not least meeting the TAs for the first time
i didn't realise everyone would be so sound
yeah same here. I already knew Nita & Jeff etc.. and met prox twice before
and never thought everybody else would be so sound too
at the time it was just a load of new TA faces I didn't know all that well
yeah, i was nervous beforehand, wondering whether i'd fit in or whether i'd want to fit in
i needn't have worried
after that the UK forum turned into a proper little community
turned out brilliantly
not just loads of groups of friends, but one big group
i'll never forget meetin ste for the first time
'who are you'
he points to his badge
HUUGEEE hug:P
I had my frist pill at NEC
i remember chatting inanely to you about it at the time
we had a huge chat
i was smoking a lot that night standing by the railing
yeah, i borrowed that dummy, and we all took it in turns to go get water
i lost my old dummy Probably a good thing
remember Picotto played Ahtos - Oh My God
10,000 people saying "what the fuck is this?" in unison
I never did go full cyber in the end
hehe
that was quality
i dont' really like oh my god , but when i first heard it then and there it was amazing!
were you in the carpark afterwards?
no, we should have come over but we didn't realise anyhting was happening so we went back to the train
station
heard afterwards that it was quite an afterparty
I just remember laying on the ground pointing at the sun in time to Ralphie B - Massive
the afterpart was odd
first day in mine and Jason's new place in Chesterfield
start of an era
it set the trend for things to come. i was fucked on ket
hehe the horse drug strikes
lol
back then i'd not even heard of it
how many times have you done it?
just the once
i'm not as adverse to doing it again as i was a few months back, but in moderation of course
the magic number
that's what I said. But anyway, ket wasn't the highlight of 2002
what came after NEC?

Dumonde GC - May

Dumonde @ Crasher I think
for you yes, I was otherwise engaged that night
so we went the weke after
but Dumonde was good?>
Dumonde was great. It was a joint birthday party for me and Nita
if I'm honest
I can't remember too much about that night either lol
I remember Nita setting up camp on the speaker opposite Dumonde
that's about it
I remember realising I was 23
that was bad
lol
i remember seeing the pics, looked like you had a good time
lol



Ferry and MIKE GC - May

the week after was it Ferry and MIKE?
we're going to have to fast forward. I can't remember anything from before SSS lol
yes
actually I remember Ferry & MIKE
yeah
me and Jason were sitting at home with Jeff, Nita & Fray
you came as a last minute thing with Jason
yeah
and me and Jason decided to go
actually I remember seeing you in there
coup was there too
me and you were standing behind the railing in front of Ferry
yeah, we met coup outside
and I was just shouting "PUNK!!!!! FUCKING PUNK!!!!"
lol yeah!
he nodded and played it next
and lo it was played
lol yeah, you've got a good memory
actually
everyone dang along
s*
the tune he played before it
MIKe played an excellent set
was blatently just played so he could mix punk into it
MIKE was great
Universal Nation > Trancy State of Mind
feckin yes!
it was just a MIKE showcase
about 70% his tunes & remix's
hehe and so awesome:P
yeah that was a good night also, but hadn't got the hang of the 6am finish and so sat out Dan Bailey's set,
which was a bit iffy anyway
who was it finished after MIKE?
Dan Baily finished with that Paint It Black tune though
i thought it waas a hard remixo fthe legacy
?
it was the one more, I'm sure it was
could be wrong

I remember watching Kitikonti with Nita, Redeye & Twilochick. or ws it goddess? I can never remember

twilogoddess
Nita kicked her in the face, lol
then I saw Alan wondering round the tent
but then i remember not remember anyhting about PIcotto or Kitikonti's sets, only that i was there

nec
how good was that?
I wasn't even going
then, that morning, I got 70 quid in the post
from my old job, unused holiday pay
i was well chuffed
;D
and god...what an event!
aye, i tried to get Fray there too, ot no avail
i bought his ticket, lol
oh yeah
the whole even was superb
*event
yeah it was good, went far too qiuickly though
it never seemed to end
lol not for me
hehe
I must've been the only TA who thought Tiesto was good
and Yoji......i die
lol yeah,

I remember us having a chat in Tidy Trax
yoji don't remember, too busy having a bit of a breakdown with rach at the back
yeah about the shop etc

damn shame that didn't work out
UNIVERSE
this tune rules
and it goes into illusion lushly
yeah
mebbe next year you can sort it out
we need 5 grand lol
but yuo never know, I'd still like to do it
yeah
the plan needs refining,
i sitll think you'd have better luck setting up the non shop part of it first ie internet and/or mail order
arg
same problem though, it would cost less but the bank would still only give us half
HE's talking over an amazing mix!
and we've got about as much chance of finding 2.5 grand as we have 5
grr we've sidetracked again lol
SSS
remember the carpark afterwards?
lol
nec!
oh yeah
sss?
lol
lol
I was a right state
so not proud of myself for that one
yeah, random walking
i was a bit silly at NEC too
then I got back home and walked into the door on ket

Black & White
good event
Pui was crap
Solarstone ,...........were absolutely stunning
yeah but have to give him credit for Revolution
brilliant set, pure brilliance
hehe yeah revolution and that first tune he played
Solarstone were great, not often I enjoy an early set that much
and silverbath
remember kai tracid?
not really
that beach boys tune
was talking to rachelthroughout
and missed it
he should've been on longer
yeah
Armin disappointed me. same old anthem after anthem
i should have listened
nah
armin was different
form how is usually is
not that i can remember any of his tunes other than Lonliness, that rocked the place!
yeah
Rank 1 were mint too
mixing was shit
yeah
but the tunes.....omg
yeah it was a good set
when airwave played...I was right in the centre of the dancefloor
i was almost sick with airwave at the end though:s

the pills i had were far too strong
seemed like mostpeople around me had theproblem too
same*

it was wierd being straight
seeing everyboy fucked. was so funny afterwards hearing the amount of pointless conversations
lol
yeah
ut then that's all part of the fun
like taking 20 mins to decide when to leave
faffing was at a maximum that morning
lol
yeah
so...finally....we come to NYE Blue & White night
i took ages getting the stuff form the cloakroom made you all wait....
I stayed in
:S
i was forced ot stay in
well I think that concludes our 2002 review
glad it was as good for you as it was for me
think we owe it all to swamper
and everybody we've met through TA and Gatecrasher
any final thoughts my friend?
erm
not really, jsutt hat it's been an amazing eye opening year in which i've learnt a lot and made alot of new friends,
and I'm glad to bea part of it
itwillalwaysbewithus
indeed
