I can't remember the last time I was this stoked for an event. 1 more day of work...then Vacation and John B is getting that ball a-rollin.

I think everyone will be there. EVERYONE.

Giver there buddy! I did say this had to be painful. Drop your 12" and your stacks of wax.

Sounds like she's not moving to NDG. Its unsure if she's even coming to Montreal at all. You have to appreciate that the Federal Gov is going to spend lots of money and resources on protecting this fucking cunt. Misplaced priorities.

Of course if she does move here it is our responsibility as Humans to end her as painfully as possible.

Man, looks like you're gonna have prime weather tomorrow! Cheers!

I'm learning how to ride a horse western-style. Also, how to self-sustain off the land SAS-style!

The alternative sources are a great concept, but getting western civ into these fuels is like getting a heroin addict to drop H for methodone. Humans are creatures of habit, and sometimes they'd rather kill themselves than change their lifestyle.

Hydrogen cell technology is just out of reach (hydrogen needed to combust in an engine will only produce water as a byproduct, but our containment technology is not there yet. In order to keep H2 in a liquid fuel form you need to keep it at a temp of -250C, which isn't going to happen off a 9V battery. The other option is to keep it in gas form, but then you run the risk of pulling a Hindenburg (Boom).

I've seen some alternative fuel cells that work, like magnesium plates in salt water. A lunch box sized unit could power your stereo and hotplates for a picnic. A unit the size of a stove could power your house for a long weekend. It recharges itself when not in use and the only byproduct is milk of magnesia which is not only drinkable, it's good for your stomach. No noise, not heat, no waste. But it's still in development with only working prototypes right now.

If someone comes up with a solution to this, they'd literally save the world.

I don't know...I think the oil reserve depletion is a debatable point. Some of my college buddies are geological engineers (minerals and mining) and my alma mater (Queen's) has a solid rep as a geology and mining school. They maintain that oil wells are very hard to drain and that oil production in the earth is kind of like sweat glands on a person: It keeps sweating the black shit out. Geothermic pressure squeezes sedimentary organic compounds (not just dinosaurs!) eventually turning them into crude fossil fuel so the whole "running out" scenario is an illusioin created by those big bad oil companies. Adding water to the crude to get the last 1/3 of oil is actually very cheap as oil and water cannot physically mix, and oil rises to the top.

Of course, I have no other support for their point of view, so let's just assume they're wrong and we are depleting our oil supply at the rate described above.

Personally, I couldn't care less if we ran out of juice and Western Civ collapsed. Frankly, we deserve it for our virus-like consumption of everything.

I have my eye on the global climate. If we keep on this course, the Earth will change the terms of our lease and evict our asses by making this planet uninhabitable for homo sapiens. It's already started, and it will be far more serious than simply having our soccer moms running out of gas on the way to Loblaws. Look at the global weather. In the last year we have seen a rise in natural disasters that, had this happened 2500 years ago, would have made the Old Testament. El Nino was like the small cough that leads into full-blown pnemonia due to AIDS; it's a symptom of a larger disease.

The beautiful thing is that Earth will go on without us and life will return. This planet has had the life knocked out of it by asteroids, volcanic super-erruptions, and global earthquakes more than a few times before, and Life continued. Ironically I suspect that our major urban centres will be new oil fields in a few million years.

There's more at stake than simply money.

I'm DnB...every time I try to get out...THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!

As long as that's different from Jungle. Jungle got played out in 99.

this is murdock rock hijacking the atrix account...

i don't know whats grosser...

the picture of randy or the thought of a topless neoform?

regardless...

sweaty men should remain shirted.

there is nothing grosser than accidently rubbing up against a sweaty shirtless man...

now PURPOSELY rubbing up against sweaty men...

THATS a whole different story!!

imma get a good ol fashioned wife beater tan for the ladies this summer though..

and then they can play topless soccer with my bawlz!!

Fucking cool. Just straight money-shoht fucking cool.

All eyes will indeed be on MTL this summer.

My experience has been that the AfterHours is similar to the club "meat market" scene, only after closing and with different intoxicants. More speed and more coke.

The rave scene is all over (E, MDMA, speed, 2CT2, adderol, etc...) but seems to be a lot younger than the after hours. Ravers seem like the "locals" and AHers seem like tourists. AHers have more money to burn, ravers usually can't afford too much.

In some ways the AH is a bit less philosophical about music and intoxication, but I've met chill people at AH and raves. I've met cock-sucking selfish cunts at both as well.

It's too easy to classify people. The reality is way too hard for the average human brain to compute. I don't think it's a shock that being a stupid dick is not a notional, racial, or religious characteristic. It's a trait of an individual.

I have friends from every walk of life and I've met fucking idiots from every walk of life.

A certain percentage of people are sperms that really should not have been the first in line for their mommy's egg. And, really, isn't that God's fault?

But anyone who claims ownership of any piece of land is missing the big picture. Even if you paid for it, you're still just renting your time here.

Respect to the skills of the hardsteppers. Not just hardworkers. Quality baby! Keep it going. Murdock told me it sounds tighter than a gymnist's twat! Can't wait to hear.

G-Grime: Of COURSE you do! Your IDJ with Mr. Brown brought me back in touch with Tom after 5 years! Small planet.

I've heard of Caro! Some peoples day jobs here blow me away. There are some smart peeps who enjoy the party!

One of my buds from undergrad who is now a DnB DJ in Toronto (Krusada) used to do research for Merck-Frost as a biochemist and another friend of mine who is an affiliate of the Hullabaloo Goodfellas just started med school at Queen's. Keep your eye open for EtOH...the smallest and drunkest (and ONLY) DnB DJ in all of Kingston! ;)

It blows my mind sometimes.

Keep up the good work!

If you want a Lamborghini it'll cost. For 100 per hour you could maybe get a Ferrari. And yellow is rare. Most people who have the money to spend on an exotic of that callibre go with something safe like black or red. If you got enough money to buy a bannana-looking exotic car, I don't think they'll see $100 as compensation. They'll see it as a waste of time/money.

That is the price you must pay for having such elegant tastes Zed.

What about car-jacking? There will be a few Lambs out during grand prix owned by some eurotrash elite. Bust a cap in their dome, speed off knowing no cop could ever catch up, and clean the upholstry later @ The Wolf's flat.

Kill Bush, you'll have Dick Cheney in charge and while Bush may be dumb as a Texas Tittyfuck, Cheney is Capital Evil like Hitler, Stalin, or Rumsfeld.

In all honesty, keep the Devil we know in power, let him fck things up as per usual, and let the americans reap the shitstorm they elected. After they get stung by China, or some nutjob group bearing North Koreas arms, the ensuing civil war between the red and blue states will provide us with millions of US refugees. We'll probably have to kill most of them cuz they have the right to bear arms and most of them believe Canada is their birthright as the 51st to 63rd states so they'll come up here with...exectations.

As long as Hollywood gets destroyed I'm happy. Seriously, entertainment blows in George Bush's America.

Sign me up.

Inuktitut? I know a little about that inuit language. Is it the same one? And by little, I mean I know the Kaluunaak means "Big Bushy Eyebrows" or "White People" cuz the first whites to make it north were the manly-man whalers. Theres a few transplants from Nunavut on this site. Their take would be interesting.

Does anyone here know the inuit word for "Create"? Their alphabet looks cool.

Bad news for Kylie. While I thought her last album was a little flavourless, uninspired, and pulp-pop, nobody can deny her influence on pop music. And it's sad if anyone gets such a disease. Hopefully breast cancer organizations will have a positive spokesperson in Kylie, and I hope she pulls through.

Repent Tokyo: Where do you work in Pharm? It's my background too! (Well, academically...not personally!) My girlfriend is about to start her marketing externship at Pfeizer.

You gotta address the plasticity of language, how language changes, adapts, and morphs with a culture. Look at "gay". In the 1890's it meant "happy". Now it means "homo", or Trance DJ.

Most philosophy is lost in the symantics of language. People will get lost in language.

Good luck wit them apps! UBC is way hot.

Total jokes like Zeev sez. If you notcie the BBC banner says "BBC Fake Edition".

We're not at throwing people/midgets to the lions YET. But I know FOX is looking into it.

too bad i got flat white boy booty :(

funny

Murdock. Welcome. I really can't think of anything to say. I'll talk some smack later.

I can't see that as shameless self-promotion. It's a thank-you to the people who made it make it on the list. Plus I think it's a point to be proud of.

Besides, if YOU won't promote for yourself, who will?

And the Top 3 are bollocks for the sheep who can't tell their ear from their arsehole but got $100 to spend. Cream deserves to be carpet bombed or sprayed with anthrax.

Good work! The whole HAF series has some great promotion going on, and they bring a quality night out. Props.

But techno isn't music. Its a symptom of excessive drug use. :P

Reg is like [ rave.ca ] version of Francis Begbie from Trainspotting. You know, the hard cunt who throws down for any reason, or just for his own fun.

I think it is phenomenal.

Technically, the jews aren't supposed to get the promised land back until the real messiah brings them there, so many hardliners refuse to acknowledge the Israel that was given by the US/UK after WW2.

No land belongs to anyone. You belong to the little 6'x2' plot of land your rotting carcass will one day occupy. We're all temps. You own nothing.

I saw the Midsummer Nights Rave film and it sucked balls. One of the worst adaptations I'd ever seen of anything.

I'm filming another party-based series this summer. We'll be needing lots of extras, which will likely take the form of a shooting party (film, not guns) at the end of the summer. It's going to be hot and I'll post the details as they come up!

Welsh's Ecstacy is a great story, but the stories are so short! The only rave-based story (The Undefeated) is a pretty predictable story and a really plain romance. I don't know if there'd be enough substance on its own so I'm really curious to hear how your friend worked it. The corporate drug romance (Fortune's Always Hiding) would probably work really well if it were amped up and fleshed out a bit more. That story is fucking brilliant. Soccer-thug gangster falls in love with a grown-up flipper-baby and plots vengeance on the coporate pigs who approved the drug that disfigured her. The sex scenes would be really fucked up. A love story for the new century, but it does nothing for raves.

I'd love to talk to your friend too Insomniak! Its a hella good initiative.

Septima: Are you talking about a more immersionist approach to theatre? Cuz a rave would be really bad as theatre. Too loud to talk, too many people too high to say anything that is actually profound. There isn't nearly enough substance to it. But if you planted some immersionist actors in a rave setting and had them perform unbeknownst to the crowd, then you'd have the kind of guerilla theatre that could turn heads.

Tones: I'm not serious in raggin on TO at all! You just respond like such a Teedotter it's pretty amusing to me. My fam owns enough of that city, so I have no probs with TO. I've only lived in MTL for 2 years now so I'm a little more Toronto than you, sad to say. Hell, you hadn't even started puberty when you left toronto so don't even be playin like you're local, you 905 poseur! My old place was in an apartment on Bay at Dundas and I had a girlfriend that lived in the beaches, a very sweet place to live, close to downtown, but not in it, and SO much cheaper than an apt downtown. Just sucks that Lake Ontario has such high bacteria counts every year. I still keep an apartment there for crashing after masive DnB events.

Tones sounds like he works for the Toronto Commission of Tourism (SARS Damage-control Unit).
You a fan of Train 48 AND Much Music as well?

The only people who don't really "get" MTL are torontoonians. But they have their heads up their asses, hence the creation of shows like Train 48. Only Torontoonians think the rest of Canada gives a shit about their daily commute to work.

They try so hard, yet are so bland.

Course, I still go there once a month or I go into withdrawl so I'm mostly full of shit. It's just fun to hate on the Teedot.

I moved here from TO. My uncle Dave is the Pres/CEO of the Toronto Hydro Corporation so your dad pays him for electricity. I have more than a working knowledge of the GTA. It's all Starbucks baby! And the girls there are SO GAP/Le Chateau.

Seriously, Toronto blows.

And taco bell is made from chihuahua feces.

Toronto blows my left nut. It's sad how every corner has a Pizza Pizza and a Starbucks in a repeating pattern and NOTHING else. It's even sadder how hard TO tries to be NYC, and how badly it fails.

Sorry to hear you moved there. Sucks to be you!

At this point, I just gotta say this is gay.

Quit embarassing yourselves.

Only little dogs bark all day. The biggest dogs don't bark at all cuz it scares away their food and big dogs gotta eat.

Reg, theres way too much work to be done to even consider this bollocks. Ian, I believe you have better things to occupy your time too. Sounds like you have enough on your plate.

Everyone else: I know. You're bored. We'll wake you up again when theres something good going on. You can keep this thread going to while the time away.

Fuck the Americans and their Missile Defense. Be productive. Learn how to speak Chinese.

Lone Star: I gots the ride! We shall hook up cuz we have a great crew to hit Goodfellas Jams with: The Goodfellas!

G-Rock: MC ED is MC Everybodies Daddy. He's not really anyones actual daddy. Not that we know for sure. IT'd be scary

Yo MC Everybodies Daddy! When we gonna party again?! Will you be in TO this summer? Final Hulla?

I personally can't believe LaFLeche has a career at all. It still baffles me that anyone would listen to him, well except for all those drugs. Lafleche fans are so high they'd get off to a laundry machine. Hell, I'd throw ninja stars at his face just to make him stop playing records if the 514 ass-bandits hadn't confiscated them.
So set fire to a 514 party just to rinse the gene pool a little. Nobody will care. Go on...

This decade is the 2k's (as Lucky put it). It's pronounced "tookays". If you don't like it, go back to Texas where the decade is already being called "Jesustime".
