I don't like dragging people outside, calling the paramedics, or cleaning up vomit (from drink). i'll trade a frat boy for crack head anyday![at least the frat boy will dance] i have no personal problems with drug use, but if it means no party-fuck dat. it's about music the MAIN reason that we were searching people so heavy was for MARKERS. this was an active bingo hall and the next bingo was 12noon the next day! we couldnn't afford one bit of graffitto(keep in mind that the O.I. is largly made up of old people). still one fucker got in and wrote on the wall and the floor& chairs the following quotes of genius:"fuck you" "will work for acid" "zowie" "white power" "no niggers" "[anarchy symbol]" it is also apparent that the same fucker slashed up about ten chairs which we had to pay for....one extremely stupid and fucked up bigot out of 700 isn't bad. but enough bitching the video projections were GREAT! the bingo hall was state of the art with a computerized bingo system(BINGO 2000) it had nine 25" color televisions all linked together(for showing the balls). Jason Twelve, the video guy, broadcasted on the network... he recorded his live video mixing with the sound track of Kimball Collins live! On SVHS. i guess wally didn't hear kimball long enough... he started out slow, but after the first half hour he destroyed everyone with an hour of progressive florida trance:) for harry and i he was well worth the price. the after party was outside and due to the cold weather it was cancelled, so we kept going until seven am. we would especially like to thank those twenty or so people who helped us clean up the next morning... peace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ dj quest FLUX christopher michael widman info 816.822.4798 c667403@showme.missouri.edu ruffer than ruffer than ruff i represent that crew with that voodoo, whatcha gonna do when we come through,for you... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
