i go back to my first party in 1992 in calgary.

it was house of unity's second party, and it started the skater/punk/raver crossover in calgary. quite a neat experience for a young kid like me back then. all hardcore, with one house set. way different the the punk and hip-hop i was used to.

nobody had ever heard of those stupid candy kids or junglists idiots, there was just ravers. also, maybe only 25% of the people at them back then, did drugs. to bad it all went to hell.

if anyone from calgary is on here, they would remember the good old parties at the bank, and at the royal stag. even the ogden warehouse for silver and so phat one. i miss house of unity.

haha! now a gigantic pile of rubble... I remember the first really big party there (Dynasty 2, i think there'd been one other by that time but nowhere near as large), i was booked to play in the chill room, and i was there with my gf who's dad was a cop. we'd spent most of the early part of the evening making out in the bleachers, and started making our way through the 4-5000 strong crowd to make it to the other side of the arena in time for my set. So as we're nearing the chill room, who do we run into but my girl's dad! Luckily we were on our best behavior that night (no drugs), so no problems, but he tells us right there that we should get our stuff and head for the door quick as the police are just moments from evacuating the building due to a bomb threat! So needless to say we grabbed our shit & bolted, just in time to miss the evacuation of 5000 panicked ravers. i've never been so happy to see a cop, before or since.
