 Coolness: 91805 | objectively, i'd say the party was good but not great. a bit too mainstream, not all the music was that great, and of course the lineup.
subjectively, it was among the most amazing nights i've have partying, because of the incredible amount of amazing people i met, as well as the drugs i took (shrooms and mdma for the first time). so this review will be highly personalized and even a bit of a trip report. i got to the party late, around 2am, as i wanted to see my friend jimmy spin a hardcore set in some house party. luckily i saw steve halfway in the line and he let me join his group (thanks!) so I had to wait 2 hours rather than 4 or 5. in retrospect, i'm actually happy for the lineup because i got into several great conversations with people. by the end of the lineup, i could sense people were starting to get really pissed. i kept anticipating a riot breaking out, which never happened, which proves once and for all that punks are FAR superior to ravers when it comes to things like setting cars on fire. and i wouldn't have minded a little destruction at that point. after getting ditched in the lineup by jeff (u bastard =) the security had such sympathy for me that they let me in right after (HA!). which was incredibly lucky cuz the mush i took kicked in right after i entered the place. i would NOT want to be tripping in that line. so i got in right in the middle of astral projection's set, which was among the best trance sets i have ever heard. hard, melodic, euphoric, it was simply awesome. the energy of the room became my energy, and i danced like crazy. and the smoke and lasers, on mush, were fucking incredible. after astral projection, i went upstairs to the hardcore room (but not before taking my mdma). some people had amazing, ghoulish costumes, which created a great atmostphere for hardcore. neophyte's set was very good, and i went crazy inches from the speakers, feeling the vibrations shake and rattle me every which way. it was VERY hot in this room, and at this point i was peaking on mush, and for a short time i started badtripping, afraid i was overheating. fortunately i was able to calm myself down, and then the mdma kicked in, which obviously ended any negative thoughts. i started walking down the stairs back to the trance room, and as i looked over at the sea of people dancing crazily, i froze. i was beginning to peak on mdma, and still tripping from the mush, and the combined experience overwhelmed me with an intense euphoria unlike which i have ever experienced. i felt the wonder of having seen a rave for the first time, and i felt gifted to be able to be a part of this movement, which only came into being some 15-20 years ago and will someday exist no more. it was an incredibly ecstatic experience, and i felt near-ego loss: I was no longer just me, i was everyone. every breath filled me with the combined ecstasy of everyone in the party, and for several minutes i just stood there, awestruck. the next two hours is a bit of a blur. sometimes i would be dancing, sometimes just standing amongst the crowd, lost in deep thoughts and intense emotion. very abruptly, i suddenly realized that the best of the experience was over, and i was just above baseline. at this point, i felt enourmous gratefullness for what had taken place. physically, mentally, and emotionally i was drained, raw, and vulnerable. i felt happiness but in a very tender way, as though i could not contain my emotions within me. this feeling continued untill i left the party, at about 11. on st catherines outside the party i ran into cathou and her friends, who i was happy to see. the party drained me so much that i actually passed out on the sidewalk as cathou panned for alcohol change, and she had to shake me to wake me up. it wasn't the direct effects of the drugs that caused me to pass out, as those had long passed, but the sheer intensity of the experience. on the way home (which also happened to be in the direction of the afterparty) i met the dalmation guy, his girlfriend, and someone else, who were amazing people, and i was happy to invite them home to listen to some music and veg. as soon as they left (around 2ish) i fell asleep for a good 5 hours. i was amazed that night at how many people i saw that i knew, how many people i met for the first time, as well as how many i know that i DIDNT see simply because the party was enormous. to everyone i saw, THANK YOU, because you made the night incredible. oh yeah, and the drugs too. speaking of which, here the technicalities: 1-1.5g of good mush (i had to eyeball it, no scale) followed about 1.5h later by one mdma. the spacing of the two drugs apart allowed me to experience each one's peak individually, while the other one would be either coming up/down, which in my opinion is the best way to do it. the combination is excellent: the mush amplifies the empathy and euphoria of the mdma 1000 times, while the mdma enhances the mush in ways that i can't explain. i wasn't just in love with all the people around me, i was in love with their SOULS. however i would not recommend you do this combination unless you are fairly experienced with both drugs, as it is very intense, and can be dangerous as the mush completely alters your sense of time, making it even more difficult to drink a proper amount of water. wear a watch, time yourself, and make sure to drink aprox 500ml of water for every hour of dancing. and oh yeah, if you've actually read all of this, i am SINCERELY IMPRESSED.

 Coolness: 49785 | OH man that drumming guy was awesome!
I could look around and people would be pointing at him and laughing. There was a few others off near the back of the hardcore room too. DONT DRUM IN A HARDCORE ROOM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A) Using a water bottle B) Off Beat C) Incomprehensively high |

| Coolness: 52545 | i waited in line for 6 hours! i got in line before midnight, and did not get inside until 6am..
I'm pretty pissed becuase i wanted to see a bunch of the headliners, and wasn't able to even though i paid to. But, at least i got to see neophyte :) that made it worth it. despite the long line i had a fun time. the atmosphere was nice, people were really friendly. got to talk to some cool people during the wait. but the guy that was in front of me for hours got his ticket taken from the security guard, same guy you guys are talking about most likely. the hardcore room was soo hot, and that was where i planned to stay the most yet i was sweating so much within 10 minutes of giong in i took off my costume, and spent most of the time in the dnb room. neophtye had a great set though..even if it was short :) |

 Coolness: 72515 | All I have to say is... HOLY FUCK! What a night to remember for a long time! so many people! i've never had more fun then ever !! danced on and off all night long!
It's too bad that Neophyte was running late from Quebec City, however, Props to Sickness for spinning around 4 or 5 hours. When Neophyte finally did arrive, I was just about to sit down to rest when he came on! I got right back up and danced untill he was done to rest again :P You have to admit it was EXTREAMLY HOT in there, hell, it was soo hot, that when you ran the cold water it was steaming! :D I think i lost 15lbs ... loll What a night I wont forget! |

| Coolness: 72515 | Wanna know something else i found strange was, the people who already had their ticket, had to wait in such a HUGE line... and the people who did not have a ticket, got in to buy the ticket and get in right away ... i'm glad i bought at the door for this one :P
P.S: The person in the bride gound with the flowers was scary ... |

Hehe I was a rave flyer. Too bad no one in the party got to see me. I waited till I got to the front of the line and then saw them doing the bullshit bouncer random draw game and freaked out. I refused to pay money to be treated like a fucking shmoe, especially since I'd already missed Nostrum and Astral. |

 Coolness: 74095 | I really had fun. I came in almost without waiting in the line-up (THANKS GOD!) and the e was so hard on me that i can't remember all my night. I know that I danced and danced. I did not find that it was really too hot, compared to others partys.
I liked the venue, it was like a "in your face" to the rest of the city... I saw a few people that i know, it was great and well I don't know how i did to roll my joints but I should have rolled a lot unless i lost a part of it... Finally I left at 10 and go to swim with the people i came with (i did not spend a lot of time with you guys during the night, sorry!) It was so great. Have a nap and party again. I like my life!
