The space was a 10-acre airplane graveyard in Tucson, but 2 acres of it was kind of fenced in for the event, so that kids wouldn't be running around playing on the planes and stuff. There were planes, all types, surrounding the area...and one at the far end held the DJ booth. It's cockpit was cut out, and a platform was built in its place. The DJs had to climb into the plane's body, up a ladder to the upper level (where we think people used to sky-dive out of...or maybe it was a bomber, we couldn't figure it out), and walk through the body through a bunch of old rubble to the cockpit to spin. The lights were held above the dance floor (dirt, actually, since it was outdoors) by a crane, so that they shot down on everyone below. The first DJ, Mikail (phx), played...hmmm...I'm not sure...some kind of techno that I can't come up with a name for heehee. Inertia (phx) played from 10-midnight, ranging from funky house to funky breakbeat to progressive to trance. Thee-O (LA) played an hour of hard trance. Ron D. Core (LA) played his usual hardcore for 2 hours, but I before half of it was over (not into that, plus I was sick =). While I was gone, Sandra Collins (LA) and D-Black (a 15-yr old from Dallas) played, wrapping up the event at around 6am. I didn't get any numbers from the promoters, but from my usually inaccurate =) guestimation of people, I'd say there were around....oh...700-800 people there, which is *really* good for AZ. Keep in mind, we're not too big =). And most of these people were there by 11 o'clock. The promoters, whose names escape me, were definitely not out to make money...tickets were only $10 presale, and if you just imagine what it costs to insure an airplane graveyard.......I doubt they even broke even =) But they were happy, and so was I. It was a very refreshing change to our usual events, and the vibe was happy =) happy =) happy =) I think that's all... ********* ********* ************ Sarah ************ *************** Gianetto *************** ******************* ******************* ********************** o o ********************** ********************** \ / ********************** ********************** \ / ********************* ********************* . ~ . ******************** ******************** : : ******************* ***************** . . **************** ************ ~~~ ************ (. .) *** (. .) *** ******** (. .) ********* ************ (. .) ************* ***************** ( ) ****************** ****************** \./ ******************* ***************** ***************** ************* ************* ******** ******** *** ***
