What have we learnt after the New Year period?
|
 Our experience seeing in the New Year certainly was nothing short of interesting and eventful, to say the very least.
New Years Day saw us heading off to the Atlantic Southwharf & Sheds down at the Melbourne Docklands for "(not so much) Sunshine People" to conduct some "serious" and "important" media business regarding the event.
Within the first hour, we had managed to learn some valuable life lessons, and within the first three, we'd decided that something needed to be done about raving as a whole. Here are some of the slightly hazy things we managed to learn over the New Year period, after our frightening experience at Sunshine People, then at a plush afterparty, followed by our somewhat memorable drive home...
- Placing your mobile phone on top of the toilet is only a good idea if you plan on remembering to take it out with you again.
- There are still some decent human beings in the world who hand lost phones over to security instead of keeping them.
- Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby" sounds as good now as it did all those years ago.
- Raving should seriously be outlawed.
- Phat Pants are actually getting more offensive as time goes by.
- Kernkraft 400 is a brilliant man: he played Divine's "Native Love".
- Blackstrobe and Richie Hawtin are gods.
- Having your VIP/Media Pass confiscated off you by security for not believing it was actually yours, is one bonafide way of ensuring the final published review of the party which you write up is going to make the whole event look like it were run by Neo Nazi's.
- Madonna's "Confessions On A Dancefloor" somehow manages to sound EVEN BETTER after consuming a cocktail of drugs.
- Pretending to be Madonna in the "Hung Up" clip, with it blaring from the car stereo whilst driving down a highway, going about 100km per hour can result in possible mayhem on the roads.
- Hearing "My Humps" on hallucinogenics is about 600 times more hilarious than it is hearing it straight.
So as you can imagine, we're feeling pretty damn sorry for ourselves at the moment. Which can only mean that somewhere in between complaining and screaming at security guards, we had a bit of fun.
We certainly hope you had fun too, whatever it is you got up to.
x IAR.

Summadayze was disappointing.
John Course was horrendous - how hard is it to hit play on one of about 86 Ministry Cds he has mixed, instead he did not play a single song anyone had ever heard.
Bodyrockers proved they really do only have one song and Tall Pall didnt play Precious Heart. Fat Boy Slim was ok, but hardly awe-inspiring.
Indeed, if it were not for Roger Sanchez and The Glimmers the music would have been as lame as the Paris Wannabe's wearing 2 band-aids, a cork and a Supre cowboy hat in 18degree torrential rain.

summadayze was indeed disappointing... with the only redeeming artist being Roger Sanchez. Also, the fact that to get in under the bowl itself you had to jump the fence because of the nazi green-jacketed security guards was frustrating (not to mention embarrassing for one who landed flat on her back).
IAR - i've always called them happy pants... however whatever the name, they are equally offensive.
