One of my favorite moments was at Decadence last year. We had just got back from Miami, and I was stoked to see Burridge again and see what he'd do in that room. Also to see Howells, who I've always loved but up till that point had NEVER seen (or I may have a few years ago but I don't remember).
So after Lee's set I went up to him and thanked him and told him how awesome I thought he was, blahblah...and that Burridge Barrage was my favorite party of WMC. So we chit chatted for a bit and I said, "You know, I ing love this guy (pointing up at Howells), but can you believe this is only my FIRST time seeing him??"
So Lee was all like, "No ?" And I was like, "Yeah!" So I asked Lee if he could pass the message along to Danny, tell him how much I loved him and how excited I was or some , and that I'd be down in the crowd, right up front representing.
So I go down front and look up and see Lee whispering in Danny's ear, then pointing to me in the crowd. Then Danny looks out at me, waves, and blows me a huge kiss!
I felt like such a stupid super-fan dweeb, but that moment really made my night, second only to the tunes those guys were laying down. :D |

I think I met Nick once about 2 years ago at a jam at Guv. There is a pic of a bunch of us chilling at the Patio in the morning. Stand up Guy if it's the same one I'm thinking of.
Sweet story JennY. That party rocked! |

It wasn't a crazy night or anything - but a really really fun night was the Dubfire night with all the black & white feather boas...
They were hanging from the ceiling all night and as the crowd thinned out I decided that I wanted to wear one for the remainder of the party.
First I figured I'd just jump up and grab one - but seeing as they were probably 8 feet in the air I was SOL. My next thought was to lift Margaret up on my shoulders - but considering it was "early morning" the attempt almost ended up with a disaster and for a moment she almost convinced me to let her lift me up on her shoulders...
My fixated state started to turn as I was coming to terms with the fact the boa would elude me.
Brilliance hit when I realized I could out-source my attempts! I looked around for the most athletic looking dude and found some tall and lean b-boy type with his shirt off near the center podium.
I asked him if he could do me a favor and jump up and pull the feather boa down so I could wear it and that I was unable to due to my 5'6" stature. Getting this boa was of major importance to me at the time and I let him know that having this would make or break the remaining 3 hours of the party. The guy was obviously confused as to why I was demanding his assistance - but he was game and jumped up and pulled one down. I got him to grab another for Margaret and the "night of the feather boa" had begun.
After dancing around the main room flapping the boas around and making a scene, we must have roused some major interest in the boas since when we got back to the front stage and looked back it appeared as if half the room was trying to jump up and grab them. Teams of twos and threes were working together to rip them down and no more than 30 minutes later it was boa-fest to Dubfire's 7 AM madness. |

I forget the specific event (it might have even been feather-boa night @ Guv) but here is the tale of G-Man and The Wheelchair...
It's just past 11:00 PM in main room and I'm leaning up against the front speaker stack that is stage left (on the right side of the dance floor when looking at the booth) and notice a guy up on the podium looking a little... dizzy to say the least.
The guy wobbles around atop the podium, slowly becoming more and more unbalanced, slumping, then perking up, stumbling back and forth, closely coming to the edge many times.
I bring this to the attention of those immediately around me and we continue to watch G-Man nearly trip himself and then finally in one massive crescendo of a move - fall, flat on his back off the podium and on to the floor. Easily a 3.5-4 foot drop.
At this point I realize he's in trouble and run to get the bouncers who come and try to rouse him. He's clearly unconscious (probably was before he hit the floor) and the bouncers radio for help.
Shortly thereafter a bouncer rolls up a wheelchair and the bouncers lift the unconscious guy into the seat and position him for a trip to the Guv infirmary.
The wheelchair trip lasts a whole 3 feet before G-Man becomes alert, pops to attention, pushes himself up out of the wheelchair and continues to dance as if nothing had happened.
His fists pumping in the air and feet stepping to the beat the bouncers try to restrain G-Man who politely resists so that he can continue to dance. Finally they get him back into the wheelchair and wheel him off.
And all this before 11:30 PM! |
