We promote very aggressively; that is the only way we have been able to grow as quickly as we have. Too many psy fanatics are in isolated areas of the midwest and have no contact with “others of their kind” so word-of-mouth is not very effective. Before 2005 the biggest Chicago psy events had many 20 people attending.

There was no such a thing like psytrance party in Chicago BEFORE 2005  ;D ;D

Sure there was. You remember the 2003 Liar's Club events? Derby does. (that was before my time)

I do. Also I remember Dan EFX's [email protected] Lounge. If You consider 10-15 people a scene then You are right – there was a psytrance scene in Chicago before 2005  😛

With the reputation chi town has for being a CRAPPY place to travel to for parties, it's no wonder the scene sucked. I've personally dont the trip 27 times in last 12 years and had the promoters or the township screw us over at least 20 of those times. With all due respect to IL artists, wisconsin and minnesota are just more trustworthy and safer.

Shady promoters are everywhere I think 🙂
There were no parties during last 5 years (or maybe longer) at all. That's it  ;D

Yeah, I wrote off Chicago around 2000 since 4 parties in a row had either been shut down or none of headliners could mysteriously make their slots. Actually, Metatronic1 was my first time going out there for an event since then.  But Chilluminati is not your average Chicago promoters 🙂

Consider The Chilluminati the Jedi Council of the Wisconsin/Illinois terrirtory.

…With TheFixer as Yoda, Derby as Obi Wan, Kaiser Soze as Mace Windu and Underfoot as the loveable, tentacle-headed Kit Fisto.

Psymbolic are, like, Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, taking care of baby Luke (our seedling psytrance community). 

Oh, and S.O.T.'s Chewbacca.  Yeah, you heard me.  You're a wookie.  Deal.  Be thankful I didn't make you JarJar Binks. 

Everyone else…um…you're ewoks.  And Jawas.  Jawas are neutral.

Now Shai is going to be sad because you did not cast her in your geek Star Wars fantasy.  :'(

I actually see SOT more as Boba Fett – can hear his voice in “he's no good to me dead.”

Derby is clearly Luke, not Obiwan! So that means Julee and Troy are his ma and pa. Tattooine is very much like their native Texas. Unfortunately Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen eventually die a horrible death at the hands of stormtroopers  ::) so Julee and Troy watch out for men approaching you wearing white plastic fetish gear.

Shai, is, of course, Leia Organa.  I thought that would go without saying.

[HARDKORNATE]

Theres no way I am an Ewok.

See you friday night on the dancefloor at about 2 am and we'll see if the drak side of the force can crush the jedi council.

[thefixer]

Theres no way I am an Ewok.

Why did you include picture of an Ewok in your last post?

[HARDKORNATE]

My girlfriend is NOT an ewok.

[Eklypz]

I think I fit Anakin pretty well 🙂 Especially after all my umm comments while really out there to Igor last weekend at Together 😉
