Full moon gatherings

     Other events that I used to be a part of were full moon gatherings on the beach. Every other full moon or so, we would coordinate a party/rave on a secluded beach. After we had been throwing parties there for over a year, other promoters and people started learning about our secret spot, so, needless to say, it is now no longer secret. You would drive past sandy 's beach and keep driving till you saw a little entrance between some bushed onto the beach. You could drive your car through those bushes and then keep driving, on the beach, parallel to the ocean, about another five minutes or so until you were closer to the dance area and park. Once parked there was still about a ten minute walk or so to the party. Try carrying speakers ten minutes while walking in the sand, and wire and other sound equipment, it was a lot of work, but in the end, it was so-very worth it. :)
     Some nights I can remember there were so magical. The full moon would be shining upon the ocean in shimmering opal and iridescent tips of the waves. There would be a d.j. station, which was the only place covered in case of rain, of course. But surprisingly, I hardly remember it ever raining, most nights were gorgeous. We all would dance in front of the d.j.s in a make shift dance floor. I will never forget that dancing on sand was way harder to do than dancing on a hard surface, it makes for fond memories. D.j.s would spin until dawn and that was usually when I stayed till and then after clean up, go to a friends house and crash.
   Towards the end, I heard other people and other promoters throwing their own parties there. I think they ruined it for us, because immediately after they started throwing their parties, the police became aware of our spot. One time, the police chased us out before we had unloaded the gear for the d.j. equipment. We left and then came back twenty minutes later. No one the wiser. Cheers and happy full moons!
