I think a great idea would be have an event that starts at midnight or even later and ends at noon. But cycle thru genres and build energy with a single stage. Downtempo to breaks, to prog to psy, with the psy not coming on untill around 4am. By that time the crowds should be amped and waiting for it, and still have the energy to go strong into the morning..........
thats a great idea paradigm.... hmm that sounds like a good idea for a single night event where you can go into the afternoon../..
the friday night curse will always be, where everyone just worked all week and drove all day to get to the event, by the middle of the night even with "Help" its hard to power thru.. we have this problem a lot being far away from just about everywhere....
either that or the saturday night curse, where everyeone raged on friday and then feelin all wore out on saturday night, missing all the action after a night and day of raging, and gettin a little sleep before the big day sunday which usually involves drivin home and goin back to work on monday.
oof.
and yeah, whether its a rave or not, some people dance, some not. its not as disrespect, its just about everyone doing thier thing. to me, thats what raving was about and its the same thing tranceparties are about too. tho i think psy festivals are one or 42 rungs up the ladder from raves, at least in peoples mindset and evolution....
and yeah deco takes a long time... i know all about it. spandex, ladders, blah blah. oof. building and hanging the zome at SEOA kicked my ass.
and yeah djin' takes a long time to make connections, develop a style, prep/pick out rockers, and lots of mental energy to hold all those bindis in place,
and for me i cant dj without dancing, and we all know how much energy that takes! my set in the afternoon heat at SEOA kicked my ass.
and then one of the zome models fell down, more work on deco. yay!
before anyone can bitch about one or the other, try doing both at the same time.... we all have our roles, and we choose them. some of us like having our ass kicked more than others....
as far as sacred spaces go, you dont need "STUFF" to do that. its all in mindset. spandex, lights, crystals, geometric stuff, theyre just eye candy right? or are they... i do believe that, like yantra, sacred geometry and vivid colors represent divine energetic balance that our subconscious mind can feed on and align with. but it can be done in the forest, desert or on the beach or anywhere else theres no blacklights. its funny though, humans and thier talismans...so is it worth all the work? i would think not sometimes, though i wouldnt have spent days of my life working crazy deco hours for almost every single one of our parties, if i didnt beleive it was NECESSARY. nothin like a gemini for some contrasting statements.
but what counts is that youre all doing it.
doing it up.
doing it well.
its all trial and error.
lessons learned.
and experiences had at the last party are not the same at the next.
same goes for the learning.... its an evolutionary process.
or at least as someone sometime said, "doing the same thing over and over again is either insanity, or rhythm."
or something like that.
i love hearing that you guys had a safe, well attended, fun event.
i love hearing how well everyone played and knowing all the smiles were there
i missed you guys, snif*
see you next time for sure.
boom.
