Gnome pic 1
Gnome pic 2

When I took the pictures the gnome guys didn't seem too bothered by it. One of them came by and gave me a card advertising his band.

For any law enforcement types monitoring this, it wasn't my intention to break the cover of any guys working undercover. If requested I will take down the pictures.

sorry man but thats part of the culture...im not saying its good for the culture cuz it only gives it a bad stereotype...but reality is ecstacy and raves will always coincide.

Damn I finally just got a moment to post my review. Well all I can say is what a birthday I had. I got their really early and started to tailgate. I drank lots of beer and chilled and partied with a bunch of people in the parkeing lot who where surrounding us. I got in about 4:45 and all my friends started to buy me drinks all day. I was fucked up and all I could do was dance.

First I went into the drum and bass room which was already going off. I was worried about the night because this was my 5th Nocturnal and I was affraid it would not live up to the others. Of course it did. I got to watch Eddie Halliwell for a wial. It was my first time seeing him and thought he was good but nothing special. I think what the problem was is you could not see what he was doing up on stage so you could not really appreciate his skills. I could tell he was doing some cool shit up their. I went from their and watched John Kelly for some time. He was tearing it up and I could not stop dancing. I also watched Donald Glaude for some time. I can always count on Donald to get the crowd pumped up and get me dancing. I could not stop. That is when I spotted some TA's. I went and talked to Neinerlove who was with DJFaded Miss Julia and Kfrogger. I figured I would run into more of you but no luck.

After that the night flew by. I got to see Collette who can sing really good over her house tracks. I thought it was cool to to her her sing live. The house area was going off. I thing they need to have the main room outside. Someone else posted that they wish too but it is not big enough, they can do it. I went to smokeout one year and it was at the orange show and they had it opened up like three times the size of how much they have open now. They had outside I say a crowd of 7,000. I say they do that at a rave.

N-E-ways i also saw a little bit of DJ Dan who was playing his usual funk and I also saw heather who was playing some really really good tunes. I love how see rocks out to her music to. See is tight. I got to see Jackel and Hyde who where playing live. They were diffrent but cool. Ritchie Hawtin was really good to. I had not seen him in awial and I loved his tunes. He had some shit that I really liked. I think it was because it was so diffrent from all the other music. I missed Doc and Farina because I was a little out of my mind.

Did anyone see the show they had with the battle bots smashing and crushing stuff. That was cool. They busted up TVs, computers desks, everything. That was trippy. I also played laser tag, jumped in the bounce house, and did the bungee run. I should have been listing to the music but it was soo fun playing and watching the freaks. I was bouncing around too much. I saw everyone but I kept going in and out for Lawrence and Armin. I hate to say this but The drum and bass room was just better then the trance. I spent most of my night their. I love Roni Size and Andy C. Hopefully some of you got to see them. I got my fill of Armin though. He played a much better set then at Coachella. I think it was even better then a few weeks ago at Tiesto. What ws up whith him playing the Blade song. The crowd went nuts. Tiesto played it too remember.

Damn I wrote way too much sorry. I have a question though. Did anyone see my huge smiley face beach ball bouncing around the crowd at the end. I got so much props for that ball. It was so funny watching it bounce around the crowd. Good Times. Until next time.

Your ball? Yeah I saw it. It's on my first vid I took during Armin's set. Fucking thing almost knocked the camera out of my hands. But it was PLUR though.

For my review, me and my friends took turns making the 6 hour drive from Turlock to San Bernadino. We're all pretty big on raving, so stepping into what seemed like Raverland at the county fair made us all very happy. Seemed like everyone was toking up outside while the sun was still up. The smell of weed was everywhere. I wandered around for a bit, took in all of the sights and got a taste for each of the rooms. Seeing all the costumes and candy clad kids just made me smile the whole night. I enjoyed Colette and her singing, Donald Glaude, DJ Icey, Eddie Halliwell, but couldn't really get into Armin's set. I liked the first couple of tracks he threw down as well as the encore at the end, but for the rest of it, it was just too much uplifting fluff that didn't have enough variety in it. It was mainly being surrounded by a thousand of other party goers and feeling the extraordinary vibe off everyone that kept me excited throughout the last hour and a half of the party. I'll never forget how packed that main room was. I couldn't even dance. Overall I had a bomb ass time. I only saw my friends once throughout the entire 9 hours we were there and I didn't meet any TA's, but I couldn't have asked for a better first experience partying it up in Socal. It's kind of depressing to hear of all the anti-rave sentiment from most of the members on here. If you're really about the music then you wouldn't let a few etards and waving glowsticks ruin it for you. If it's not your thing I can understand, and you have the right to voice your distaste for it, but I think making comments like "I wish the rave scene was done away with," or "All ravers are druggies," goes a little too far. I respect the club scene, and I respect the rave scene. I am a clubber and I am a candy kid, and massives are pretty much the only events where both groups will come into contact with each other. So let's just make the best of it. If we're all here for the music, then we can respect each other long enough to enjoy the music together.

See you all at Love Parade.

that beach ball ruled. i smacked it a couple times
