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.
