:):):) OMG what a night! :):):)
Thanks to all the syd ppz that were able to make it down. It was great to party with you and hope Canberra was not too much of a disapointment.
Thanks to all the DJ's too, especially Gav for As The Rush Comes...will never ever forget that moment, about 15 of us yelling the lyrics at the top of our lungs and just going nuts. Hope you realise As The Rush Comes will be an official track requirement for every Altitude from here on in, now that we have finally hear it "out" we will have to hear it again and again :).
The turnout was quite small but I think that was more due to the fact that we had a number of large events on that night. In a way it was better like this though as it was nice and personal for us and most of the dancefloor "belonged" to us.
Glad I bought the digicam out too as I dont think anyone else took any shots. Shall upload them in the next couple of days. Couple of great group shots lol
Only downside to the night was DJ Happy's set. Maybe he was having a very bad night or maybe he needs some DJ lessons? :mad: |

That was one awesomely fun night!!!! :D
Too many awesome moments to mention - just totally ing amazing!!! I was giving my usual mashed performance, along with the other gurners (Helen im looking at you!! ;):D) and everyone was having a top time!!!
Gav your set was absolutley tops!!!! We'll have to get you up to sydney djing soon!!!! :)
Diggs & Morro - what can i say every time i hear you boys, i cant help but go off!!!! Never heard a bad set yet - u guys rock!!!! Bring on the next Halcyon!!!
Liquid M - always fun, and no doubt you blew the socks off the canberra crew with your productions!!!!
DJ Happy - um well lets just say excellent track selection but have you heard of beatmixing???? Its a really good way of avoiding train wrecks - just a suggestion.....
I apologise to everyone for my VERY poor performance towards the end of the nite but i was pretty fookin crook!!! I blame it on the Turkish food and the codrals i had at the beginning of the nite (it had nothing to do with the chems im sure!! :D )
Big up to all the crew who were there - Helen, eddie, ally, webby, sid, wade, dylan, gav, diggs, morro, mike, marlo, rach, lisa, sarah, and everyone else who is just a blur in my mind!!! :D
Oh one thing - why didnt someone tell me there was a backroom???? :rolleyes: :D |

finally surfaced..........
have had about 6 hours sleep since Saturday afternoon, when my road trip began and my head is still fairly heavy.
What a weekend !!! I'll begin by saying a big thank you to all the Ta/ITM crew that made the journey from Sydney to Canberra you guys were just the best and I enjoyed every second that we spent together, from the Turkish restaurant to the wee hours of the morning at the Babylon nightclub it was just a pleasure !
To Joel, Lisa, Rach, Lisa, Hugo and Edgar sharing an apartment with you guys was sooo much fun, we had soo many laughs I dont know where to begin....hope to catch up with you all at the next Halcyon. To Helen and Eddie, I simply dont know two chicks who party as hard as you guys ! from cage dancing, to jumping up and down like absolute spastics !lol it was just so much fun watching you guys...hope to do it all over again in the near future. To the rest of the Ta/ITM crew including Lethal, (we took up our front row gurning position perfectly buddy :) ) Beemer (thank you soo much for helping me find my hotel room, without you I probably would have passed out in one of the Canberra gutters !lol) Oztiesto and djway. Highlight of my night definately had to be ATRC. All the folks mentioned aboved singing at the top of our lungs "As the rush comes" was simply unreal and a moment I shall never forget. Agnelli and nelson - El nino also hit the mark for me really well.
What can I say ? awesome trance with soooo many awesome people ! thanks again people... hope to see you soon :) |

Tell me about it, i was worried like a father the whole time she was around the cage. She was doing somethings in there I don't think it's EVER seen!
lethal:- I told you near the end of the night didn't i :) (RE the back room). MY GOD did Mikah kill it, with WIKKID prog and sampling. (Webby, do you remember me SMSing u during PQM - While you were sleeping?). Lish, my god AGAIN, 2 mins before each mix, I don't think he knows records are 7mins+ in length....
DJ Happy was strugling, agreed, sometimes it wasn't his fault tho. A few times the needle skipped on him, due 2 the lighting (and I use that term loosly) guy, smacking the desk enough to cause the needle 2 skip 1/2 the track.....
Full Review tonight/Tomorrow.

Wow that was just an amazing weekend!!!! Canberra venue was a bit weird, sorta like Jacksons on George if anyone knows that venue (which I wouldn't admit to anyway!! :D)
Aside from that though, the vibe, the people and the tunes all came together for a brilliant night! Sooooo much tunage it just wasn't funny... a lot of munted fun, and yes As the Rush Comes was definitely the highlight!! Gav you da man hahaha
Massive respect to helen, eddie, alli, sid, leigh, lisa & rach for the trip :D, gav, wade, diggsy, morro, marlo, mike, MAB (sorry dude forgot your name) and anyone else that I might've forgotten!! The whole family out in force!! :D Poor Canberra probably doesn't know what hit it hahahaha
And to those that know what I'm talking about, the tune that was in my head the entire weekend was Lange - Follow Me :D:D Not a bad soundtrack to the weekend!!!
Strong contender for the funniest moment of the weekend is the ridiculously stupid MC .. right during the breakdown of Veracocha - Carte Blanche, he starts shouting some about "grooving to the funky beats of DJ Happy" .. I kid you not!! Happy was busting out an absolute epic set of classics (Binary Finary - 1998, For An Angel, Gouryella - Gouryella, El Nino, Moonman - Don't Be Afraid, Transa - Enervate, Out of the Blue etc) and this guy's going "groove to the funky beats" :rolleyes: :eek: :stongue: What an absolute tool!!!
But thankfully he just STFU'd most of the time :D
Can't wait for the next Halcyon on August 1 .. it's gunna be a huuuge night :D |
