heterophobic with good reason!

Anyways, the party was a blast. Calling the party queer positive/anti-sexist seemed to work really well, for one because there was one hot dude wearing a pretty pink slip, and 2nd cuz there weren't any drunk jocks and the whole night went off without a hitch, besides one slightly sloppy k-hole.
The music was great. Ohio Spiko Wio started out and were playing a nice ambient jam, then Marcello put together a solid set of minimal house. DJ Luv played a longish set of house that got nice and hard here and there, followed finally by Phreeduh, who used that incredible sound system better than anyone else all night. She played ambience/noise, and with those quality of speakers (merci NTK!), the room was filled with beautiful and nasty soundscapes. And meek played a final set of braindance, which he obviously worked really well, since there were actually ravers and hardtek punks dancing to abstract music! Attention promoters: [ ] is the next trance, so get with it!
The decor was really nice too. If people know the basement of le Local, you know it's kind of low and cave-like already, but then moohk and meek covered the ceiling and walls with a giant white tarp that made it look like an arctic cave. For me, it made the whole place feel cozy and intimate, a nice safe setting.
Seemed like people were enjoying themselves, and even though there was no admission cost, there was a bar to cover the minimal costs. Free parties! Free parties!
L'equipe de Neurotik c'etait tres gentils aussi tout le soir. Elles/ils ont aider beaucoups avec le set-up, et sont sympathique a les concepts du "free party", techno a les peuples, et le batiment de la communaute. BIG UPS!

Coolness: 146425	is there a second edition being planned ? what do you call "braindance" ? if this is IDM, i really don't know why you seem to consider it as a new kind of trance...?

i was thinking more in terms of presence at parties, hoping that something a little more dynamic might replace trance, which i find way too formulaic, no matter how you spin it. I mean, hardtrance i can get down with, but you should have seen the people who were actually dancing weird abstract dance music, which, yes, i refer to as braindance. It seems like a better name to me than "intelligent dance music", which i find pretty pretentious.
2nd party, yes, for sure, since february hasn't even started yet.

Pour moi, le queer, c'est d'abord politique. Politique a
ne pas confondre avec la politique ou le milieu gai.
Une perspective contre l'elite economique
majoritairement male occidentale qui impose un
systeme libral capitaliste patriarcal individualiste et
ou domine un modele blanc homogene reproducteur
qui perpetue dans l'abrutissement des valeurs
racistes, sexistes, materialistes. Je pense qu'un sens
critique, qu'un inconfort ou qu'une forme de
rsistance a ce systeme dominant peut facilement se
retrouver dans le queer. Ayant la notion de
transgression des standards tablis notamment au
niveau du genre, la prise de conscience et l'utilisation
de son genre, de son identification et de sa sexualite
peuvent etre des outils contrant cette homogeneite
imposee. Selon moi, le queer est avant tout une idee
anti-capitaliste et anti-patriarcal qui peut s'epanouir
dans bien des aspects. Le festival, a l'automne
prochain, veut rassembler les gens dans une prise
d'espace permettant un meilleur echange et
apprentissage des expriences et des performances
artistiques concernant une manipulation sans
contrainte du genre et de l'identification. Un
rassemblement a la fois festif et politique, tout comme
l'est l'idee queer.

(Version plus franaise en bas)

I would like to get together, monday the 13th, anyone
interested in having and/or collaborating in any ways
to put together a Queer Festival next autumn. It
would be a kind of workshopish during the day, big
meal and stuff, movie/film projections or performances

in any ways, then bands and then djs from thursday
to sunday or so. If you like the idea, there's need
for
people to join and split the work. But it's worth it
and
the more we are, the lighter the work load is and the
more specific to what you like it can be. The idea is
to
keep it simple, get people together, learn, work a
bit,
exchange, le rsultat peut tre vraiment enrichissant
pour tout le monde. So, monday in 2 weeks (13th)
anytime after 8h, at the Elegant Stink Horn House,
1849, Delorimier, south of Ontario mtro Papineau.
Mostly just to talk about it, see who's up for what in
all
kind of aspects. Please feel free also to post this
add
anywhere it can be pertinent

Ellie

Je voudrais voir, lundi le 13 Fvrier, qui est
intress
avoir ou monter ou collaborer de quelconque
faons un Festival Queer l'automne prochain. a
serait probablement du type ateliers le jour, grosse
bouffe et trucs, performances ou projections films/
vidos aprs des bands aprs des djs, du jeudi au
dimanche. Si l'ide t'intresse, on a besoin de gens
qui veulent se joindre au projet et aussi en diviser
le
travail. Mais a vaut la peine et plus on est, plus il
est
possible que chacun fasse ce qu'il aime faire et plus
lgers sont les efforts. L'ide est de garder a
simple,
de rassembler les gens, d'apprendre, de travailler un
peu, d'changer, a peut etre vraiment enrichissant
pour tout le monde. Donc, lundi dans 2 semaines (le
13 fv.), aprs 8h, the Elegant Stink Horn
House,1849, Delorimier, Sud d'Ontario mtro
Papineau. Surtout pour en parler et voir qui est prt

quoi. Soyez bien l'aise de prsenter cette annonce

Coolness: 146425	yaurait rien avant l'automne prochain ? et "lundi dans 2 semaines (le 13 février)"...? le 13 février c'était aujourd'hui... ça veut dire que c'est lundi 27 ? ou alors c'est trop tard ?
