Do you know who DJ Thee-O is? He is very reputable so I would believe him. He was trying to obviously be a bit more vague for one reason or another.

HAHAHA

I remember going to that place (and the Arena) a hand full of times like 7+ years ago...

It used to smell like feet!

Ooo Ooo ooo!! Me me!

My friends and I were ALL about Sporty and Nike parties back in 97 and 98. All the Smaller parties. Which led up to BIGGER!

We were quite good buds with them. "Regulars" could say. Good times... good times.

One time, we were even entrusted to "make sure Christopher (Lawrence) gets this envelope before the party". It was his Dj Fee... $300 bucks for a 2 hour set. Imagine how much he gets paid for 2 hours now.

I loved those parties. Even the ones that smelt like feet.

The roller rink kicked butt for parties. Right in the middle of the city, and never got busted (well... none of the parties I went to anyway).

As for Thomas Michael... in my "raver-infancy", he was the name I always looked for on flyers, cuz I liked what he spun. Not to long after that though, I discovered Christopher Lawrence and Sandra Collins. After that, he just kinda faded in importance when it came to party selection.

Trust me, I am not trying to slam Thomas in any way. In fact he liked being stubborn so I don't think what I said would offend him at all. I was resident with him at several clubs so I know how he does business. As I said, he can be a very cool guy but in a business sense he did piss some people off. But that is neither here nor there because people have wanted to book him but really, he is just over it.

I got this one CD back in like 2002 that just said Live at the Hard Rock and it's probably the most complete and uplifting set I have ever heard. I still have it in my car.

I call it the Space Opera lol
