Yeah, I totally hear you. If I went to a rave now, I'd feel pretty old but atleast with the club scene you don't feel too old to be into the scene...know what I mean?

Oh...I think that's pretty cool that a fellow TA is a teacher.

are you a highschool teacher? what would you do if you saw one of your students at the guvernment, system, etc?

i once saw one of my teachers at the kool haus one night quite off his bean. he saw me too. At first we were both scared, me because i was underage, and him because one of his students was witnessing him off his bean, but then we both just realized it was a simpson's type scenario and laughed.

everytime i passed him in the hall after that we just looked at each other and smiled.

classic.

It's easy to spot ravers from a mile away. As teens, they have to 'live the rave', so with a little eavesdropping (not hard to do) one can avoid unfortunate mishaps.

Same thing with clubbers. If I met any students there, they would be using fake ID, so I've got the dirt on them. Unless I am spotted consuming anything, I can plausibly deny any accusations.

Sometime around 1994. When I was about 16 (I am now 25). Where were my parents, lol

B) If you were a RAVER to start with, what do you like more ... the raves or the club scene?

I am not a raver or a cluber, I am a ballet dancer that likes trance

C) What was the largest party you ever attended in Toronto?

I have not been to Toronto yet… so I dunno. I’ll get back to ya on that one.

NO!

I have lots of favs

F) Within' your first year, which event was the worst event you EVER attended?

F) Not in my first year, but I went to a party down in FLA years ago… it was outside… it rained… it was muddy… the security guards were nazis… and there must have been some bad pills going around because I saw a lot of people fall over… saddest party ever… ugh

i know 2 teachers that party- one of them was relucatant to go to all ages events b/c he didn't want to see his students. i know of a prof who likes to party- saw him at the 1st labour of love- i'm pretty sure he was worried about seeing students out.

A) in 99', my sister heard me playing a gino/euro mix CD, and dragged me out to a rave, told me what was playing was real house music and I should give up on the crappy club stuff
B)Raves kicked some serious ass. Nothing could compare 2 feet of sway on a warehouse floor with 20,000 people all going nuts. Although sound quality is far better at clubs.
C)20,000 Idance festival in what was it? 2000? 15,000 at the better living center on NYE 2001.
D)Yes, I would go back in time and make myself older during the 90's to have been really able to appreciate it. I got old too late as the scene died
E)Seeing Bad Boy Bill at my first event was amazing, but then DJ Dan introdduced me to a little song called needle damage, and I could never choose between the 2. But then I went to the industry closing party with tenaglia, and well that settled my arguement on who was the best.
F) I was lucky, I didn't run into any bad events till I started going to clubs to see DJs.
G)Sasha and Digweed at Delta Heavy was pretty rammed, but I'm sure I've been to more rammed than that.

A) What was the year you started the scene and were you a RAVER or CLUBBER?

2002 first party was Nightmare Halloween party, Tiesto at the KH in decemeber 2002 was what got me hooked...

B) If you were a RAVER to start with, what do you like more ... the raves or the club scene?

I like them equally... it has to be a good rave... in Montreal the rave scene isnt as commercial as here and its still kinda ol'skool, ie not too commercial (cept for the big parties).. theres lots of small underground parties, loft parties, obscure candy raver parties with little to no advertising... but the music in the rave scene is nowhere near the music in the club scene... DJ's and sound systems...

C) What was the largest party you ever attended in Toronto?

Probably an all access KH/GUV party.. biggest in montreal was Bal en Blanc (+15,000)

D) If you had a choice to go back in time, would you?

Dunno, maybe if I got a taste of the scene in 95 i would...

E) Which major HEADLINER was your personal favorite?

Favourites... tiesto, PVD, sasha, max graham

F) Within' your first year, which event was the worst event you EVER attended?

Armin @ Guv 7 year... too rammed

G) Most RAMMED event ever!!!

Armin @ Guv 7 year


Im equally into the rave scene and the club scene...theres no club scene for Jungle so theres no choice there and plus I find that there's more interesting people at the raves than at the clubs...





I've got a new question to add to the list for all the old school parties from pre 2000....






H) What your craziest story about an olskool underground rave? (the ones where you had to know someone who knew someone who knew someone..)

I remember reading something about a party that was held in an underground parking lot and everyone was wearing bumblebee suits... dont remember who said it...

I've got a couple of those, to say the least.
First would probably have to be on a night when my friends decided to stay at a crappy house party, and I decided to head out to a rave by myself. Ran into a very large intimidating guy who was holding a fake butcher's cleaver, dressed up like a cook, with fake blood splattered on his apron reading 'the chef'. Man, I talked to the kid and he turned out to be a really cool person, and me not knowing anyone at the party that night had a good time cuz of it.
Another is my seeing a crazy hallucinogenic person tripping out. The worst thing out can do as a person who's high on hallucinogens is have a cape to make you believe you're some kind of superhero. Bad idea. But this guy had one, and man that kid looked absolutely crazy.
But my question is where have those days gone? I think I need to visit montreal on the next bal et blanc
