Most fun I've had in 2006!

Not a chill party in its purest sense, but maybe we've learned that a PURELY chill party would be boring, and that people just *need* to dance harder during those peak hours.

I think we also learned that doing a “freeform” rotation of DJs just leads to confusion and setup nightmares.  From now on we'll stick with concrete DJ schedules.

Thanks to Dan, our host, and to everyone who pitched in and did their specialized bit.

SIDE BITCHY NOTE : Would have liked to see less litter.  It always amazes me how, invariably, there's a gazillion full water bottles lying around, barely touched.  People need to be better about disposing their beer empties and food waste, too.  Friggin' gross.

Most amazing community response I have seen at any Chilluminati event. If you need any proof that this is now a full-fledged tribe, just think about Bioluminescence.

Friday night setup there were over eight people, many who stayed until 1:30 in the morning. Enormous setup of the venue was completed before Saturday setup even began.

Saturday setup we had over 20 people helping. It is inconceivable that we could have finished deco in time without them.

Thank you to Chilluminati partygoers who responded to the call. Thank you for all the art contributions. Thanks in particular to Allen for the tapestry he brought after recolorizing it just for the event theme; thanks also to Varun for many tapestries brought.

I want to also thank some particular people by name but I don't want to slight anyone so I will give more thought to that one before posting.

Thanks to all the DJs, to VJ Reuben, to Magic Ben (lasers), to Dan Simborg and Transamoeba, to Jeff Z, John, Sarah, Dan, and Airyck of Iowa, to Allen, Crazy Ivan, Pauldo and Julie, Glenda, to all the Chillum'uddin who showed to help create the space (many more whom I will name in a subsequent post), for making this what is for me my true spiritual home in spacetime. Thank you.

I know I risk this turning into one of those endless thank you threads but I was really happy that Julie and Troy manned the door all night, and that Shai brought the famous Lauryn to one of our events. I will think of more people to thank when my brain clears.

Beautiful through and through… you all never dissapoint.  Thanks for another amazing party!  🙂

True. Maybe in a bar or lounge it's much easier to keep relaxed atmosphere … but once You see sweating, little stinky gnome bouncing around, it's hard to not speed up 🙂

I thought I was the biggest complainer here. Now we have a new champion 🙂 🙂

>And when did Lew2/Elchill perform?

hey.. I went on early 9:30-10 something…
true dat on the dj scheduling/equipment switching etc.

to anyone who missed you can of course check out live sets at 
http://www.elchill.com/ioio –>dig around

awesome party..
my favorite ever for the people, vibe, decoration, artwork, visualz…
a non stop adventure through sonic spaces..
I've got a much better feel for the chill vibes and have been inspired
to remix/remold some of my materials…

also .. much fun with the drummers
the piano in the corner,
the gigantic blue ball..

great chance to get back into my own head.
and discuss wild topics such as anti-gravity devices..

Yeah, I felt bad about the scheduling thing. Nice idea, but tough to implement with that many performers.  Works better for 3-4 djs I think, but I am sure you are aware of that problem. Hope that Lewtwo gets another slot to play someday 😀

That aside, everything else was pretty perfect. Probably the best deco I have ever seen at an event.  Was honored to be able to help.  The night got a little crowded, curious if there are final numbers. I thought about 200. Not bad for a word of mouth type thing 😀 The music flow was outstanding, felt very organic and the bpm was raised at the right times I thought, definately a unique spin on a downtempo event but I think it worked great felt very natural.

Was nice to meet Lauryn and move her from my list of people I need to meet on my tribe profile  😉  Great to see so many people I had seen across the midwest at various events, noticed a lot of faces I had not seen since the last further. Good to know us old ravers are still chasing the beat.

Lots of incredible dancing with free expression going on. Definately some great vibes. If that is how 2006 is gonna go, hecka yeah! I didn't talk much during the event, got kinda in the within self mode due to the crowd so hope no one was offended!
