ALEJ!!! Wassup bro?!?! Heh heh, damns you missed out on an awesome campout. Seriously, it totally rocked da spot! Heh heh... The location was awesome. We were in a redwood forest, with a little brook, a river, and uhhh... some trees. Heh heh. It was seriously the perfect place to just go and relax for a weekend and unwind. The ground where most of the tents ended up was a little rocky but by the time I passed out on both nights, I was so tired I didn't even notice. Everyone there was really cool. This is probably the first party I've ever been to where EVERYONE was hangin' out with everyone. That was probably the coolest thing about the party... everyone was just chillaxin (gotta give Rose credit for that word), hangin' out, kickin' back, and just plain enjoyin' themselves.
Saturday, during the day, most people were either sittin' around the main clearing, talking to each other, eating, or walkin' around the river. The mood was definitely mellow during the day. They had some CDs and tapes playin' for most of the daylight hours. It seemed like there was a lot of bad luck with some of the technical stuff. First, a couple of the generators ended up either dying, or bein' pretty sketchy. So some things (like the hot tub) couldn't be turned on, or had to be turned on and off. On top of that, they had a lot of problems getting the sound to work properly. Not sure if the rain had anything to do with it... But man, I gotta give 'em credit. They were workin' on that thing for hours, and would NOT give up. Also... while the sound was down, it was dope that there weren't any complaints from anyone. I think everyone was just enjoyin' themselves kickin' back... Finally, they got some decent sound comin' out of the boxes... WAAHOO!!! The DJs finally started jumpin' on the decks around 10PM (I think). It was cool because the campground was so quiet, that you could hear the music pretty clearly, no matter where you went. Everyone's sets were bumpin'... and they definitely kept me groovin' for a long time. I gotta say though, Paul Grogan... never heard of him, first time hearing him spin... DAMNS!!!! He tore it up! He dropped some really slick tracks...His set was pretty freakin' amazing. We gotta book him at more Bay Area parties... **WARNING: GRATUITOUS ASS-KISSING**(MMmmmmmmm.... aaaassssss... heh heh) Denise closed out the night with an awesome set. She had a different groove goin' than what you usually hear her spin at parties... Didn't really hear any NRG comin' out of this set (at least, I don't REMEMBER hearing any NRG...) I think I heard a few tracks from the "Howe House" and "Deeper" (cough)freeplug(cough) It was really cool seein' her mix things up... she definitely got my booty movin' and groovin'. Yo DENISE! Heh heh... "Excellent. Excellent." You get two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Most importantly though, I have to give my respect and my gratitude to Thomas Trouble for putting the whole thing together. It was obvious that Thomas put a lot of time and effort into getting the whole shin-dig ready... On top of that, he was workin' pretty much non-stop to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Talkin' to the guy, I could tell he just really wanted to see everyone there have a good time...and it totally paid off because everyone was havin' a blast out there. I know what it's like to throw a party...it aint easy and there's a lot of stress involved. But damns, he put together a kick-ass, 3-day event at an awesome location, with a bumpin' line-up, got the right mix of people there, was sellin' pretty decent food (at reasonable prices), AND he took all of the unexpected challenges in stride. Thomas is the man! Heh heh. Sheez, I didn't realize that I ended up writin' so much... Shiz, I guess I just had a kick-ass time. That is all. Carry on! bChoi! -----Original Message----- From: ***Alej *** [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 2:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [D] How was the campout? hmmmm.. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ___________________________________________________________________ The D mailing list http://www.djdenise.com/ ___________________________________________________________________ The D mailing list http://www.djdenise.com/
