Photos from Sextreme Ball 2010 – at the rialto theatre in tucson have been posted. CLICK HERE to see the gallery. For now just the 2D photos are posted, however be on the lookout for 3D anaglyphic photos and also videos to be posted! The show was overall a GREAT success and shows that Praga Khan still has what it takes!
If you spend any time looking through the gallery on my site, you’ve probably noticed that several of the galleries contain 3D photos. They are anaglyphic 3D meaning you’ll need the oldschool red/cyan 3D glasses to get the effect. A few of the galleries only have the anaglyphic photos, but I’ve decided that for the sake of those who have not gotten a pair of 3D glasses or don’t have any laying around, from now on I’ll be uploading the 2D as well as 3D photos. There will also be some 3D video posted from time to time. You will be able to find the 3D videos here on my site as well as on my youtube channel.
The photos from Power Surge 3 (the rave at stratus in Phoenix) are now posted in the gallery (there are 2D and 3D versions!!!)
For now… here’s a video of Showtek and the Power Surge 3 audience in 3D
So stuff has been really busy lately and everything is coming at me a mile a minute. The trip to Ohio was awesome. Candy Kids was a lot of fun, and the vibe was massive. The ohio scene seems to be just now getting back on it’s feet, and it definitely has an innocence about it that has yet to be corrupted. The sound and lights were a little minimal compared to what Arizona has going on most weekends, but it was enough to get the point across. It was very nifty to see the kids jammin out with my toys… a lot of kids commented on having never seen anything like them in ohio.. that warmed my heart. So, get out your red/cyan 3D glasses because all the photos I took at Candy Kids were in anaglyphic 3D!!! Maybe I’ll get around to separating them and posting the 2D images too… maybe… Major thanks to Eklyps for having us out and being such an awesome host/promoter. I really look forward to working with you again man… You’ve got great things going out there… Maybe we can collaborate on an event sometime!
The daw was more or less boring. This town sucks if you’re not sleeping all day and waking up just before the party. It reminds me kinda of Nogales just a lil less seedy. It dont feel very european. We did go bowling at a kinda neeto lil bowling alley where the pins are hung up on strings.. and I managed to break it somehow… got some video of that I’ll post soon.
Aside from a sweet interview for the DVD, not a whole lot to report… mostly as Im running out of time at the internet cafe 
I’ll be home monday night for any of you who are following this and wanted to know. I miss all of you! Click here for pictures of day four. Oh yeah, Robbie Long’s set was stunning! I will be bringing that man back to the US for another show, so keep your eyes peeled!
Day 3 was a bit less eventful. We did a lot of walking around.. had some kinda yummy food.. and then jammed out. The party was less crowded than I’d expected excpet for during Gammer’s set and Darren Styles’s set. Still had a good time and our bartender was still treating me nicely. I gave her one of the shirts with lucky on it and she totally dug it! Day 3 was her 25th bday as it happens too, so happy birthday to her!

Day 2 in Spain is now behind us. The second day consisted of some weird breakfast food including a donut that looked kinda like a piece of poop. The second day of the party was pretty ok downstairs but the real excitement was upstairs in area 2. It was project USA day. Ian K, Sparrow, Milo, Starr and Rize tore it up for us and I was up there dancing almost all night long. I was wearing my American flag pants which made me slightly unpopular, but tons of people continued taking photos with me none the less. More photos and stories after the break –
For those of you in too much of a rush to look at pictures:
A trip to spain:
Sunday morning saw us on the way to Sky Harbor airport to begin the first leg of our journey. Many thanks to Lindsey for taking us so early in the morning when I know you were a sleepy girl after Transformers. The boarding was quick and uneventful outside of security freaking out over all the LEDs and batteries in my carry-on. We zipped from Phoenix to Chicago to Philadelphia and I had a hard time staying awake for more than an hour on any of the flights. From Philly we flew into Barcelona. On the bus to customs we met up with some Seattle ravers who would become a recurring theme in our trip. Once through customs we met up with Sparrow and Jess, hopped a series of trains and a bus and were in Lloret de Mar. The rest of the story and more pictures after the jump.

Hey guys, the photos from heaven vs hell and starman have been posted in the gallery. Sorry it took me a long time to get done, I was going crazy with peep this and all the other related stuff. More updates including a review of peep this coming soon.
Bubble bobble is 2 weeks behind us, and I’m just now getting around to my review. This is typical of my style, as I like to give things a while to set in and make sure I don’t miss anything. For those of you who are interested mostly in the photos, they are up in The Bubble Bobble Image Gallery (click for pix.)

Sorry again about the dearth of updates, but I’ve been workin my butt off on making Bubble Bobble go off! If you haven’t already, go to http://www.bubblebobbledsi.com and make sure you note that you’re going to be there!
So Infectious Audio, despite a very slow start, turned out to be a pretty darned good party. The music on the main stage was a lil slow for my taste.. DubStep is for going to sleep, not for main stage dancing. Many people pointed out that the main stage was poppin for a lil while, and accounted for it by assuming it was the music the kids were in to. My view however, is that it was raining outside and they were forced inside. In any case, the photos are up in the infectious audio gallery.
I also added a new animated gif of the dj Judo Ch0p! to the animated gif gallery.
Make sure to stay tuned for more updates on bubble bobble — phoenix’s first foam party rave
I’m a little bit of a bad blogger I guess… Life happened and so I got a lil behind. Anyways… the photos are up for
I wish I could go more in depth with reviews, but I’ve forgotten a lot about a bunch of the parties… the pictures kinda tell the tale. Anyways… more and more events are being added to the upcoming raves in phoenix calendar, so if you’d like your event added, please use the contact form at the top of the page. Also, new rave animated gifs are coming soon!!!
Photos from Industrial and Magic – Click here for Photos
Industrial Light and Magic went off wonderfully. The venue was lit up in a way that the 5th ave warehouse never has been. The music was all incredible, and all the djs/performers were absolutely amazing. There was a great response to WidgetPhreak’s set this time around. I’m seriously amazed that more Phoenix promoters haven’t been booking him. Mike Saga tore it up with the industrial that the Phoenix ravers have come to totally love him for! If you take a look at Sesso’s myspace videos you can catch some of WidgetPhreak and Mindbender as well as a few others.
This is just a peek at some of what ClixBagofTricks can pull of with a party. more to come!!!
The Trick or Beatz Gallery and Grave Infekted Gallery have been added. The pictures from these raves are up. I was a little on the busy side during the parties so I didnt get to do TOO much photo taking, but there are a few up.
Trick or Beatz was a GREAT party with way higher attendance than I expdected. The lasers by laserwizardy were amazing and the crowd jammed the whole night through.
Grave: Infekted was not quite as successful as most people assumed it would be. With a final turnout of about 200 or so, it was a dismal situation. The sound on the main stage left a little something to be desired, but the acts pulled through. I felt a lil sorry for Illectrolab playing to a crowd of 12 or so.
I’d be lying if I said I wasnt a little nervous for Industrial Light and Magic iss gonna be like, but you guys know me and I have YET to disappoint… so in short… it’s gonna rock the casbah!!!
Blackout 2008 was simply massive. The sound in the main room was totally solid. Sadly since it was so busy I didn’t get to leave the table much but I did get to take a few photos which are up in the gallery (click to view the photos). Congratulations to Mando on a party well done and many thanks to Jillian for making things run smoothly even while under the weather.
If you take a look in the gallery you’ll find the Euphoria and Diablo 2 pictures posted. Click either name to see the respective gallery. When the fellas came to me about Euphoria, I won’t lie, I was a little skeptical. They’d never thrown a party and wanted some advice on how to do so. Before Kindergarten Rave, I was in their same shoes though, so I decided to extend what advice I had, and they did it up and did it right. The party was AMAZING and I had a blast. Jimni Cricket as always played a bomb set (and gave me my sugar glider costume!!!) and DJ Spunky was a blast to listen to and hang out with. The gem of the evening was Serl with an amazing hardcore set that left nothing to desire.
Diablo 2 was the following evening. It was the first party back at the IceHouse in many moons. Helen Hestenes, the owner of the Ice House hadn’t filled in Citrik on the number of permit requirements she’d managed to fail in keeping up to date, so he had to jump through a number of hoops to get the party to go off. Aside from the capacity issues the party was astounding. It sucked that they were only allowed 300 people between the silver room and patio which kept a HUGE line to get into the silver room, and the security gaurd working the door to maintain occupancy flow was RUDE as could be. This party ended up as an awesome followup to the diablo of 2 years ago and I can’t wait to see what Outside World has up its sleeves for the future of phoenix arizona’s rave scene.
Bloodfest 4, 2008 was an AMAZING party. Matt Dunn and the rest of team rave really hit it out of the park on this one!!! The setup was amazing, the lineup was incredible and really the whole thing just rocked. Most of my help team wasn’t there so I didn’t get to wander around too much. I spent most of my time workin the table and it was NUTS sales. One of the greatest parts of the night was when Matt Dunn slayed Helen of the Icehouse. It was a very gwar-esque moment.
matt kills helen
Lenny Dee dropped an absolutely KILLER set and it was pretty cool to meet the legend himself near the end of the show. Wheelz really did a bang up job as well and kept the crowd pumped. From most estimates there were > 2,000 people there which really says something about Matt’s ability to promote a rave. Images from the event are posted in the bloodfest gallery.
So the photos have been up for a while, but I forgot to mention it. Bounce in tucson and Mindcontrol in phoenix have been posted. They were both pretty dope parties. Rave photos are usually up before I write about them so check the gallery often.
Earthdance this year was a blast. The event was originally supposed to be held at Schnepf Farms in QueenCreek AZ. The city of QC enacted what amounted to extortion demanding an additional $15,000 the day of the event in cash. With all other options exhuasted, Boo and Malcolm swooped in to the rescue providing their facility and getting the permits in order, and the day was saved. Despite not being held at its original venue, the party was AMAZING. Photos are up in the gallery. I have to thank Jillian a million times over for helping out so much with keeping things running as smoothly as they could at the table. Not all Earthdances are raves around the world, but phoenix and tucson have a history of a rave-oriented earthdance and this one turned out awesome.
Watch the Prayer for Peace:
If you’re looking for photos of Just the Beginning 5 by Flock Productions, they are now available in the gallery. The weekend was a good time and I actually enjoyed camping out for once. The only thing I didnt 100% agree with was the 6 hours of straight dubstep on saturday afternoon. Was that REALLY needed? I dont mind dub, don’t get me wrong, but 6 hours straight? No thanks. But the idea of a weekend-long campout rave in the woods? PERFECT!!!
