 |
| after a late pickup, a taxi
ride to the dock under the illumination of the full moon, a toxic
ride on the no name (never take the no name speedboat!) speedboat
in the darkness, we finally arrived at the
full moon party,
a stretch of musical madness on the beach with 10,000 people from all
over the world.
|
|
 |
| yep, full moon alright. there
was actually a lunar eclipse that night as well! me: "hey, where
the hell did the moon go?". |
|
 |
| easily the best music within
walking distance. blacklights, glowing mushrooms, fireworks, it was pretty
insane. |
|
 |
| this girl in the red probably
sweated off 30 lbs of water that night. it was hooooooooot!!! |
|
 |
| anne getting things started with
some body paint on her arm. she asked for a band and got random flowers
instead. it was coooool under the black light.
|
|
 |
| more people who probably aren't
from the us. |
|
 |
| chin on stage with blue glowstix.
these camera settings didn't quite work. |
|
 |
| jason tripping mumbles out. |
|
 |
| and now displaying his silky smooth
glowsticking style. his vast assortment of moves boggles the mind. |
|
 |
| the camera seeing things from
the perspective of most of the people at the party. they supposedly sold
shroom shakes at the vending stands like they were thai icea teas! |
|
 |
| seasoned ravers anne and jason.
among other things in 2000, they hit
edc,
nocturnal,
and cyberfest! *sigh*
i'm jealous!
|
|
 |
| a scary sunburned woman gazing
over at what were probably fireworks exploding on the beach in the
middle of a large crowd. that was a bit
ridiculous. |
|
 |
| jason's glowsticking madness. i busted out
my patented airplane runway move that night. i know people were secretly
impressed! ho ho ho . . . |
|
 |
| anne warming up and getting ready
to bust out the siiiiick liquid! she's all shy about it too. hehe... |
|
 |
| do they look like they're
from the us? no. |
|
 |
| dancing on the sand wasn't as
bad as i thought it would be. |
|
 |
| ask him to do "the throw" sometime. that move is tiiiight! i only saw
it once all night though. |
|
 |
| me doing something other than
the patented airplane runway move. would you like to use it too? email me
if so. hehe..
|
|
 |
| we had big signs attached to our
head that read "we're from the us!". and for jason, anne, and i, "hello!
we're from calfornia!". |
|
 |
| chin shortly before disappearing
for four hours or whatever it was. |
|
 |
| more moves. dodging all the
drunk people while glowsticking added to the level of difficulty all
night. |
|
 |
| i'm waiting for liquid . . . |
|
 |
| still waiting . . . |
|
 |
| i should print this sequence
out and put it in one of those little books where you flip the pages
and you see an animated sequence. |
|
 |
| patrick (from orlando) and
jason. |
|
 |
| mystery. get it? i watch far
too many movies. you do too if you get the
reference. |
|
 |
| does this look like the face of
a sober person? |
|
 |
| two of the few thai people at
the party. these girls seemed to follow us everywhere. trance area, d&b
area, etc. |
|
 |
| jlee81, again. try finding
him in soda hall sometime. yeah right! |
|
 |
| anne in a dancing trance. |
|
 |
| chin on the receiving end of
yet another kick ass lightshow. |
|
 |
| some of the few who weren't
either dancing, staggering, or passed out. |
|
 |
| the stage near the trance/house
area. |
|
 |
| the beach suffered major abuse that
night. luckily we didn't stick around to see what it looked like when the sun
came up. |
|
 |
| heading back to the our original
spot. |
|
 |
| anne with thoughts of rinsing
some of that nasty koh phangan sand off her feet in the cool waters
of the err... atlantic ocean? i only know two oceans. pacific. atlantic.
damn you grade school geography teachers! |
|
 |
| the guy standing about 20
feet away from us peeing in the water changed her mind though. |
|
|
 |
| some of the action down the beach. |
|
 |
| his shirt isn't normally this
color. that's sweat!! |
|
 |
| more random euro people. |
|
 |
| anne and her glow in the dark
bubbles! |
|
 |
| jason busting out david
copperfield type madness keeping a bubble suspended for like 10 minutes
with a glowstick. ok, maybe not that long. |
|
 |
| patrick's friend who i think
i met. can't recall his name though. |
|
 |
| our highly protected area! far
too many times that night this annoying as hell drunk person almost stepped
on our stuff! |
|
 |
| runway? no, something else. |
|
 |
| by day, uc berkeley
architecture student. by night, ... |
|
 |
| patrick in action. |
|
 |
| we were probably the only people
from the us rave scene here. |
|
 |
| the anteater wearing his space
outfit. |
|
 |
| just the essentials. |
|
 |
| anteater, again. |
|
 |
| jason @ around 5am. ok, you're
right, it wasn't timo maas. but ubik was right! i think the song is
called the dance or something. do i still get my 5 points? |
|
 |
| anne, no doubt covered completely
with deet. deet is great! |
|
 |
| multiply by about 10000. |
|
 |
| chin dancing by himself. |
|
 |
| as usual. |
|
 |
| anne admiring her camera. |
|
 |
| patrick, jason, and anne. |
|
 |
| "i flew all the way from london just for tonight."
you're tuned into perfecto radio. take me away . . . |
|
 |
| she probably didn't think i'd
post this, but . . . |
|
 |
| overpriced glow items. |
|
 |
| lil' mushroom things. |
|
 |
| everyone who looks at this picture
thinks i took it because of this guy sleeping under the pounding beats of
140 db of music. i just thought the blinky lights looked cool. |
|
 |
| the dj. who raaaaaawked! |
|
 |
| 5:30am. |
|
 |
| me, busting out the ultra
hi's! |
|
 |
| i have no moves. |
|
 |
| what the hell is this? hehe... |
|
 |
| patrick tearing it up. |
|
 |
| and more. |
|
 |
| i don't know how the hell he does
this, but it looks pretty cool. |
|
 |
| however, it takes a lot of
energy to do it appparently. |
|
 |
| so patrick took over for a
while. |
|
 |
| look closely, it looks like
he has two pairs of hands. sort of like what's her face in mortal
kombat the annihilation!! |
|
 |
| wooooosh!! |
|
 |
| near the end. we should
have done some synchronized norditracking for this picture!
muahahahah.... |
|
 |
| show's over. |
|
 |
| after waiting around for over
an hour for the no name boat; getting eaten alive by mosquitos, ants,
and who knows what else, we finally boarded! |
|
 |
| and here we are! |
|
 |
| other no namers. |
|
 |
| oh the poor people who had to
wait around until 9am for the next boat. |
|
 |
| and suffer through all
the disorganization. |
|
 |
| her eyeballs looks like they're
about to pop out of their sockets. sort of reminds me of that scene in
who framed roger rabbit when back the the future guy who plays that evil
toon reveals his true self and his eyes pop out. too many movies! |
|
 |
| cruising back to koh samui and
two whole hours of sleep in my bungalo. |
|
 |
| 7 something am. insanity. |
|
 |
| the end. tune in next week when our
cast visits . . . |
