Slammin' Vinyl
3rd-Sep-1999
Well, this was my first ever rave and so I was pretty nervous at first. The actual reason I decided to go was because Justin persuaded me! In the end he didn't even turn up sooo.....never mind.
It all started at about 3 o clock when I went to meet Peter. We basically met up and then went to Kev's where everyone else was to go later on. It was weird being there with people I had spoken to on the computer yet hadn't seen before! Pretty daunting for me actually! I was very quiet and just kept meself to meself.
At about 8ish we set off for Kings Cross to meet some more people I didn't know!! It was quite funny actually cos I didn't know anyone but people were really nice and so I started to feel more relaxed.
I did actually know Maxim and Jesta so it wasn't assss bad but as I say, I got to know a lot of people.
We eventually got to Bagleys at about 10ish I think....where we were greeted by a nice long queue which extended allll the way round the building which was just great! We must have been queuing a while cos when we got in there it was past 11...
It was my first ever rave and so I was pretty amazed at all the people and all that was going on. It wasn't like anything I'd been to before. Im from Jersey where nothing much happens and so it was really cool to be there, that night....at Slammin' Vinyl. I think I'm probably one of very few from Jersey to have actually been to something like that!
Anyway, yeah I took a look around and went into the hardcore arena which was pretty cool. I had a peek in the others too but hardcore was my favourite.
A lot of people were just chilling outside and so I spent sometime sitting outside in the freeezziinngggg cold but it was good to get to know people.
There was a "downstairs" room which was hard house and that was pretty groovy too, there wasn't as many people down there so it was a good place to go for a bit of a break from all those lovely sweaty bodies upstairs!! There was also the chill out area where some people looked like they needed to go!!
Overall, I had a top nite and would definitely recommend it anyone who hasn't been to a rave before. I mean, I had never been before and was really nervous about going but in the end it was definitely worth it. Everyone was soo nice to me and I had the best time ever. Thanks to everyone for making my nite one to remember!!!
