well, saturday i went to monster massive, a rave with a crazy lineup: kevin saunderson, felix da housecat, judge jules, dj irene, matt hardwick, anne savage, derrick may, dj funk, and many more. you can check it all out at www.monstermassive.com my omniscient friend had us guestlisted by judge jules (!) which would've been really cool, had the person with the guestlist shown up to the party . we did eventually get in free, and vip, but we stood out in the cold for an hour while people who bought tix walked right in. and i feel bad for the peeps who paid for vip, 'cause all they got was an area with couches and some free unripe fruit. the artists didn't "hang out" there, as promised, and there was no overhead view of the stage/party. my friend wanted to stay in the main (trance/progressive) room the whole night, but i was interested in some house, too. unfortunately, the house area was outside, which was cold, and very brightly lit. those two factors led to a very dead vibe, so i couldn't even stay there, even for the music. i was dresssed as my friend for halloween, wearing shorts, and i was too cold . but it was there that i ran into lostin310 and his broken foot ! i did take pix that night, but they're all so crappy that i didn't bother putting them on a cd. sorry, folks! and judge jules looks like he's on some serious crack . somewhere in the middle of the night, my friend lost his cell phone . it totally brought us down, and led us on a wild-goose-chase till the end of the party, which we wouldn't've stayed to the end of, most likely, had he not lost the phone. my friend thought he might find the phone when the lights came on. no such luck. so, our party didn't end, 'cause we had to make it happy again, after it had gotten so absolutely sad. we went to pick up my friend's pal, who works a night job, and we hung out with him all morning and afternoon, till things were all good again . and that's why my column and i have been absent the past 3 days. sorry - i just had to recover from an insane time! and i wasn't exactly full o' wisdom ... anycrap, i'm back with my nonsense, in full effect !
