Definately amped to check out THE HORRORIST.

It's on!

Dude, sleep between the parties.

To see Luna-C twice, because it's a (50/50) synergy party and Le D did a cool job for Raves R Us that a bunch of the Ottawa crew was at too, and to have a kickass weekend both Friday and Saturday night?

Hell, I know a couple of Montreal kids who are coming down to Ottawa the night before for just the same reason. (Although Blizzard Boys/DJ Mad are playing in Ottawa instead of Endo - Definately interested in checking out his set)

Nice!

I want to win.

Fuck yeah!

Massif line-up!

Check out the toggle list on xvi: [ xvi.com ]

Already at 200, and there's over a month 'til the party.

Insane!

Looks like there's going to be a huge number of people from Ottawa coming. Niiice. I'm thinking big things for this party!

Go Sicatrix!

This looks so badass. Saturday night for sure. I've had terrible luck trying to catch Enduser for around the past two years. It's time. Iszoloscope too? Icing on the cake.

Hype!

We won't be providing pill testing services at any party we're present at due to the sensitive legal liability of them - but we will be explaining the benefits of having them for personal use.

Also going on that weekend: [ www.ultramusicfestival.com ]

This is going to be one long/awesome trip.

I hurt myself to feel alive!!

Haha, nice.

Wicked.

Initiation program = Must involve blind folds, cult robes, and paddles.

Neat!

I like that countdown.!

^^ Wikkid! ^^

Thanks for the support everyone. :)

|copy/paste from XVI|:

SOAP is having an open-to-the-public meeting to talk about some of the adjustments we're making to the group to improve on everything that we're doing so far.

Anybody is welcome so long as they remain focused and are interested in providing helpful input.

Issues that we are going to be addressing in particular:

-Content for narcotics
Adjusting it to be more presentable/easier to read/immediately informative, design
-Planning our website.
Layout, forums(?), guestbook, content, Q&A, links to useful sites, etc
-Special plans for the next show we're doing (Here We Go)
Fruit, water for special cases, hand sanitizer, booth set up, etc.
-Fundraising

And many other topics.

We will be at Chapters on the 2nd level above the starbucks at Rideau and Sussex this upcoming Saturday from 4pm until 8pm.

Next time!




I like the sounds of that. :) I've heard good things about this series of parties, and I love the breakbeat world. It'd be nice to check out sometime.

Actually I might be able to pull something together. That'd be interesting.

I want to catch you play, but your timeslot is too early! If I were to bus to Montreal straight from work here in Ottawa I would still miss your set entirely.

Success (for both events)!

We are having an open-to-the-public meeting in the weekend coming up to discus further modifications, and goals for the next party we're hitting (which is going to be much larger - Here We Go [ xvi.com ] ). I will post details of it on [ .ca ] as soon as we confirm everything.

Hmmmm!

Free party!

Thanks!

We're going to be at the next Ottawa massive party, Here We Go, which is going to have an underground flavour. (They even put us on the flyer)

After we posted this information up on the Ottawa night life board, we got an offer to set up a booth for Illuminatrix, a big 16+ psytrance party in one of Ottawa's clubs (Backstage), which is happening the night after Emotion. Interesting!

Hopefully we will be able to make it out to most of Ottawa's upcoming ravestyle events, and maybe help make a positive change for some people..

I love some of LRGs stuff.

NormL stocks some of their gear in Ottawa, occasionally I've gotten a badass T-shirt or two there.

Hm.. About 200 Techno Church 2 ones left.
And probably about 50 of the other ones left.

If you're looking for a bunch, I can just mail you a dozen of each or something?

S.O.A.P.
Safe Ottawa Area Partying

We're going to be launching our first ever appearance at a party called Emotion, at club saw this Friday. [ xvi.com ]

We have a bit of a first aid kid in case anyone gets a minor injury at the party (ie. something tape, gauss, and hydrogen peroxide would solve).

We have fancy yellow ear plugs (for sale, 50 cents a pop or extra if you want to make a donation..) that cut out 32 decibels of sound. These ones especially cut down on the high-note frequencies, so your ears won't hurt as much in the morning/after leaving the party if you happen to like hanging around the speakers.

We will have staff on site with pamphlets of information about various narcotics, talking about the real effects of drugs on your body and mind. We're trying to take special consideration into how to reduce the amount of harm people cause themselves by taking whatever substances. The staff will be able to answer basic questions as well.

Also, thanks to the Planned Parenthood centre, we will have safe-sex gear available as well, in the form of lube and condoms.

Keep in mind this is our first event, so we're very open to any feedback. We will have a donation tin should anyone feel like supporting a good cause.

Hope to see you out there, and remember; SOAP - Stay Clean!

!!

This looks pretty badass. I saw the flyer for it at Raves R Us.

I can give you a bunch of flyers from events I've been associated with. I have a handful of leftovers from the following:

[ www.udent.ca ]
[ xvi.com ]
[ xvi.com ]
[ xvi.com ]

If you're going to take a shit at a rave, make sure you don't flop beforehand.

This is going to be one to remember!

I'm going to be wiring my mic into a korg kaos pad 2 straight into the mixing board. Get ready for twisted robotic vocals with a breakbeat/electrobass/oldschool rhythmns to back it.

Massif hype!

Hey Endo, meet up with Drixel and I if we end up making it like we're planning on here.

It'll be our little "pre-party" for the week after up here, haha.

Holy shit!!

Miami... eh....?

Might be pulling together some people from Ottawa to drive down.

Or if not, flying.. I want to go.

Well done!

Great vibe.

You montreal cats who dress to an extreme are good with your outfits!!

This party is going to be pretty big. In the Ottawa web board there are about 200 people toggled to go to it. The venue is Backstage Nightclub, which is 137 Besserer.

Venue!!!

To get there you take the 50, exit at Chemin de Masson, and take a right at the T junction, later this road becomes Avenue de Buckingham Go up to Maclaren, and hook a left. Take a right at Donaldson, and the venue is the big church at the top of the hill.

Techno Church 2 is being held at 45 Donaldson, Buckingham Quebec. This might also be recognised as the same venue as the original Techno Church was held.

The same venue indeed had a 2nd room in the back that was never used for anything other than storage. It is smaller, and chill sized. This is not the red light room to clarify, that is an entirely separate room that will also be up and running tomorrow.

Party is by advanced invite only. Invites are still available in limited quantities at NormL clothing (41.5 William) and Vertigo Records (193 Rideau). We will be making one last restock run in the both of those outlets tomorrow at noon. Other than that the last available spot to pick up an invite is on the shuttle bus itself, which is leaves at the corner of Rideau and Cumberland. (and costs 5$ for the round trip)

Map:

[ maps.google.com ]

To get onto the 20$ invite list for out of towners, message me here on [ rave.ca ] or e-mail me at Robvblack@hotmail.com BEFORE NOON ON SATURDAY. Otherwise your only real option is to find someone with my cell number and to get them to txt message me your full names.

Yeah, it's at like 250 now, with another 20-25 here, 10 or so on purerave. I haven't seen an Ottawa event receive this much support ever. I've had people at my work asking me if I've heard about "this church party" once some of them heard I was into the underground stuff. It's been mentioned in University classes, discussed from students to profs. I've even had a local newspaper company contact me for an interview for their arts section. (Stay tuned, I will try to post it on [ rave.ca ] after the article is published next week)

It's becoming clear that this event will sell out.

The only way to assure enterence if you're coming in from out of town is to message me with your name so that I can add you onto the invite list (20$ for out of town). If you're from in town, the only way is to buy an invite from the outlets (20$), or to message me to get onto the invite list (25$ for in town).

There will be no door sales for people who are not on the invite list.

Thanks again for the support everyone. :)

It definately was. I will try to bring some people from my part of town to your next show if it looks anything similar in terms of line-up/style.
