another great party but i'll probably remember it more for
what happened afterwards than anything else. after hitting
nocturnal the week before and being sucked into the black
hole of raverism,i consulted my handy dandy so-cal rave
calender and saw that Richard D. James AKA aphex twin was
playin this organic thing and thus demanded my presence. i
waffled a bit since my friend who promised to go flaked at
the last minute but then in typical fashion i took destiny
into my own hands and ripped down the 91 freeway towards
the citrus pavilion.
ok the party was fun despite an odd mix of about 2/3
ravers and 1/3 concertgoers. anyway. it didn't really
matter cause RDJ and his dancing bears kicked serious booty
and the DJ's in the other rooms did it for me the rest of
the night too. not quite as transcedental as nocturnal but
still fun.
now the bad/most fun part. heading home the left side of
my car met the friendly camoflauged bump of mister center
divider island. it basically ended up popping both the
tires and shredded the rims on the left side. ouch. i ended
up limping into a carpet store parking lot and then guess
who came rolling in. mr. highway patrol officer. haha. i
thought i was doomed. luckily seeing the state of my rims
and probably thinking that was lesson enough, the cop was
cool and helpful, asking if i needed any assistance. i
whipped out my AAA card and said no...but thanks and he
left. as the sun broke on the mountains of downtown San
Bernadino i trekked over to a jack in the box to call AAA
and get a towtruck. long night...7 hours later or so i was
back home, my car stuck at Pep Boys in San Bernadino. it
could have been a lot worse though, and it was quite an
instructional experience.
