Memoirs of a club kid

One of my favorite gatherings that friends and I put together was called "Future Primitive". We called our selves as a group L.U.V. acronyms for local underground vibe. It was around one hundred fifty or so people that were there, we decided not to make it too large because as Alicia said, if the rave gets too large it looses a sense of intimacy and community. This gathering/rave was more than a party, it was an adventure full of love and community. It was held at the top of the mountain in Ewa where camp Timberline is. The rave was for the weekend. On Friday the music went till 2am. and on Saturday the music went to dawn. It was during the weekend of a full moon and all the dj sounds were out doors in the large open field underneath the beautiful night sky. As music played and was dj'd by Dan mainly, and others, the full moon rose right before us on that mountain top. And as I danced I felt somehow like people have done this, dancing under the full moon, all through out time. It was connecting to the Earth and one another in a very special and true way. We had built all kinds of tents for fun and pleasure. A tent of black light. A tent for body painting (run by me). A massage tent. Art pieces for prayers, you could write your prayer on flags and it would wave in the wind. You could even walk through the forest for we had put up christmas lights in the forest and it was enchanting indeed. It is very hard to describe in words all of the events and emotions that this night evoked in me. It is truly an awesome feeling to be a part of a group and community that comes together for a purpose and accomplishes it for one, and for two makes it a memorable evening for a lifetime. But let me just say that the credit must go to the entire coordinator and instigator, Alicia. She was from New York, and a couple years after Future Primitive she moved to San Francisco. Maybe I'll tell you a little more of what happened at this party or somewhere else next time. Until then... X
