Back in those days I used to go around with Vick's inhalers giving people facial massages to the music. It was my specialty and it blew so many people away. My girlfriend at the time used to give lightshows (best glowsticker I know to this day) and I'd give glove/hand shows. I guess this was way back when I was much more friendlier, now I just go and dance.
This was Oasis 2000.
Here's a picture of me on the left and the guy you're probably talking about on the right. It was taken in 2000 on a night before heading over to Sona. We look kind of retarded so I guess I'm going to get flamed :).
"I agree with Epicurus and want to add that it was the first club that I went that was very liberal, in dress code, attitude, ha! Restrooms! space, etc."
One of the things about Sona was that the only other club downtown was Stereo which had more of a gay clientele thus turning off many straight people, to this day some people are like that. Sona had a semi-circle line system where they'd pick who they let in based on security and management choices. People could be in line for three hours and finally get in or some people got flat out denied. I would have to say the clientele in Sona was probably more on the good-looking side, or at least not butt ugly. :) Sona was the elite club. I remember countless times when people got rejected how they'd freak out and/or exclaim "Let's ing go to Redlite (or insert Stereo) then!" ... Sona was the place to be... |

"Question to Kendo: I used to be a regular at Sona back in 99-2000, and I always used to see an Asian guy, sometimes sitting on top of the speakers towards the back and to the right, with white gloves on and a red ball that he'd be playing with constantly, either popping it into his mouth or making it dissappear and reappear. Anyway, the guy had big time skills, although I know my description does him no justice. Anyway, was that you (kinda looked like you), or perhaps someone you knew???"
Was the ball a small photon? If so it was my best friend Mike. He got me into raving in 99, we're both originally from Vancouver where liquid (using white gloves) style of dancing was quite popular back in '99. He retired from partying by 2001, Sona was the only real afterhours he went to although we went to various 2000-2001 raves together.
The right side of Sona in the 99-2001 years was well known as the "glowstick" side and was also where all us Asians hung out. Him and I started that trend back in '99. He is an amazing liquider and was the reason I started to liquid too. I still can't bend my fingers like he can and my style is way more catored to House now. I also haven't worn white gloves since October of 2004, I still get bugged about that everytime I go to Stereo :0.
I'm bringing them out for Sanchez @ Stereo though... |
If by photon, you mean it glew in the dark and projected light, then yes, thats exactly what I'm talking about. I can't tell from the pic you posted whether it was him or not, but I remember sitting there and watching him play with it for hours, completely mesmerized :stongue:
And I actually remember one night when I was with my buddies Zak and Omar (who you used to always wear a San Antonio jersey when we'd go, so you might remember him), staring at this one Asian while being completely miffed as to what he was doing to this other guy's face. We thought he was either gay, high, or both, and couldn't stop laughing :stongue:. I guess that was you :p
EDIT:/ Although I now know that you're not gay, and were probably not high either, just being friendly :p |

THAT WAS ME GIVING THE FACIAL MASSAGE!!! OMG HAHAH. Yes, with me blowing through the vick's inhalers it almost looks like I might be kissing the guy. It DOES look very gay. Haha. Honestly, I went through various phases in raving, Phase 2 being super friendly. In my next Phase, what I call " OFF", I stopped giving those massages and generally got fed up with the constant amount of people coming up and asking me for them. They'd even harass my girlfriend, which made her proud for some odd reason, for me to give them facial massages. The weird thing is lots of people would bring their friends to have it done too. :)

I don't see how that could be, I don't even know you by face :). Unless Louis says I'm nice but to be honest I don't really know him that well, he's a cool cat though. I'm more standofish at afterhours now because I like to just dance instead of talking. Lots of people gather the courage to come talk to me and usually they say (especially girls) that they were too shy to say hello or when I first started going to Circus people would tell me they always saw me @ Stereo and asked me why I was at Circus... or sometimes people come up to me and tell me they saw me @ Circus last week, Aria the week before and thus they decided to talk to me.
I do go out every week, sometimes twice, I did so during my school years in Mcgill, working @ a LAN center and now a 9-5 job. :) I love the scene and I love to dance.
What I'd love to do is meet more TA people... I see some people around, noticeable people like Monica but I never bother to say Hello... like I said, I love to dance. |

| Not in the past 2 months, but before that I was going to Aria every single week, almost every Friday for Preach. Plus summer 2004 I was @ Aria 4 times a month.. it's really hard to miss me due to how crazy I dance. |
