Hello back, my buddy Thomas :-)
I wrote another mail just now about what I got up to (not much!) and
for the rest of SA? According the the local news, it was a more
sedate and quiet New Year than most. It seems most people were
content to stay home with their families.
There was a big 'do' on Robben Island - former political prison
island - which had a lot of TV coverage.
Many of my friends are currently still at a 4-day outdoor trance
event (not my cuppa chai) held in farmlands about an hour's drive
out of the city (Cape Town). I'm sure I'll hear all about that when
the come back - lots of Big Names in the trance genre were slated
to play.
Also, Juno Reactor were playing the annual Synergy party which
this year was headed by Danny Rampling. Last year it attracted
17,000 ravers (I was one of them!) but I was struck by the
commercialism of the event, backed by Benson & Hedges, whose
logo towered mightly everywhere.
PS : so you DID play "The End' :-))) I thought you were pulling my
leg. Shame on you for being so negative ... let's have something
more UPLIFTING, eh? Maybe I should have gone to Danny
Rampling after all ... ha ha.
