This post starts with a BIG congratulations to Harmony and Matt. They did a bang-up job on this party and again raised the bar for promoters in Phoenix, Arizona. It was refreshing to be in a new venue for the first time in a while, and I’ve gotta say the only downside was the insect life. The warmth combined with all the water in the ponds etc made for an icky amount of them. The setup and theming were 100% on par and the tunes were bangin.

I was a little saddened to see the stage that I was setup near shut down a little early for noise, but it was amusing when they played hulaish island music at a lower level until they let a few of the djs go on with reduced volume.

It was a good night of hangin out, jammin a lil bit, but mostly just hanging out. My helpers for the night spent most of the night disappeared or wandering around so I didnt really get to check out the other stages, but I still managed to have a bit of fun.

I know Harmony was freakin out at the beginning because of the size and implications this party carried, but it turned out great! If you got yelled at like a few people including myself did, I’m sure it was no big deal, just a case of nerves. Thanks to Patch, Metro, and Bones for stoppin by and keeping me company from time to time!

I brought out a couple of new toys this weekend, and a couple of old ones. The new ones were the cool foam led bonker toys, and the old ones included the ghengis khan wands which play music and sing “I’m with ghengis khan, we’ve been workin on his car” or something along those lines.

I started my friday hanging out with the INCREDIBLY attractive Marissa. I gave her the couple of early birthday presents I got for her (one of which is indescribably attractive when put in conjunction with her) and we went and grabbed some chai and rock and roll fingers. She wasn’t sure about going to ubertoast, and neither were we, but thankfully in the end, we all decided to!

Ubertoast ended up being a pretty great outdoors party. The bugs werent horrible YET and the weather was great. Im going to have to start remembering to bring citronella candles or something in the near future. There was something just a little off for me that night, but all in all I had a good time. I got to meet Bon3s for the first time which was kinda interesting. I’d somehow heard that she wasn’t very fond of me, which seemed silly since we’d never spoke, but she ended up being pretty awesome, so here’s to having more new buddies! For most of the night the music wasn’t doing much for me, but Rize’s set really got me moving and Im not much of a happy hardcore guy.

The highlight of my night was probably when Rize played that “Now you’re gone” track but from where we were sitting I kept hearing “Metro’s Balls” so we chanted that the rest of the night. I think it may be time to look into doing a “metro’s balls” remix of that track… apparently he and patch already threw together some lyrics.

We packed up only about 30 minutes before the party was over, which was good cuz we beat traffic coming out of the desert. I grabbed an energy drink and headed home, stopping for breakfast at Dennys and falling asleep at the table a time or two. We did have a very pretty waitress though who I wish I would have stayed awake a little better so I could have a more clear memory of her attractiveness.

How quickly the tides rise and fall. It seems so recently it was beginning, yet while in the middle of it all it seemed like it had always been. I guess these are the ways things go when you’re the one living it rather than one observing it. So… I violated 3 rules with this girl.. Let me run over them really quick. (Only continue if you want to read about personal non-rave stuff)

Read the complete Post.

The party this past weekend was called Secret.  And apparently that’s just what it was.  Attendance was rather meager and left something to be desired, but it wasn’t a BAD party… just nothing special either.  Skittles made another decent attempt but fell just a little short.  For being a secret party, it was at a well known venue, but that’s ok too.  The night had it’s fair share of problems for me, but none of them were anything having to do with the party itself.  Some people have heard what was going on, or made assumptions etc.  If you wouldn’t mind, for my sake… just kinda pretend like you never heard anything, and it would help the comfort of all involved if it wasn’t mentioned or talked about.   Because of the weirdness surrounding the evenings events, I regret I have no photos to post.  I’ll be back in the swing of things next weekend.  Also, I’ve been looking into some new types of battery operated tampons… so stay on the lookout!
