Our Loss of Clint...

[Mr Ektion]

So here we are, at home designing during the late hours of the night designing like we always do, when Ben from Shy Brothers icq's me and asks me if i've heard about clint.

For those of you who don't know who clint is, He is not a Father of the Vancouver Rave Scene. but, he is definately a guardian and an icon. But, more importantly, and definately tragically, Clint is now a was.

If you visit his website most prestigiously known as www.teamhardcore.com (a web calender listing most of the raves that happen in British Columbia), there is now an online memorial of his very recent death. After Imix, his life was taken by a drunk driver.

for those of you who DO know clint, you know that he's a very whole hearted person who really dances to the music played. He stuck with the scene in it's ups and downs, and we are definately in a current down due to our loss of this dear friend. Now is a time for mourning, and remembering all of the times we've shared with him, or stories we've heard of him. Feel free to post your thoughts and what not. i'm sure there are many of them to express at this point.

Rest In Peace Clint.

i really hope this is an April Fools joke, and if not my heart goes out to the guy. He's put countless hours into the scene and expected nothing in return.

Regardless of the matter

Respect

hmm.... april fools day.
i dunno, remember the "this site has been closed by the government as part of their effort to ban raves" or something like that, prank him and al from lx did?
i really hope it's not true, clint has done so much for the vancouver scene.

[*baby*nat*]

....? ...... that wasn't funny.

[Dj_K2]

I cant believe people actually fell for that shit. Clint does stupid shit evrey year.

[SPK]

Not saying I fell for it, just saying it was pretty tasteless, given how many kids have died in car wrecks lately.

[Anjew]

yeah it's very tasteless.... made me sick to the stomach.... but for some odd reason osme ppl found it funny so yeah...

[e_vilosity]

yes
that was very tasteless

not funny b/c that easily could have happened

[*baby*nat*]

Iono - I never read the thing on TH but reading this from lawrence - was this part of the joke? or a reply to what you read, thinking it was true?

if it was part of it - tasteless.

[deja]

so this was a joke then right???

that's whut u call cruel and inhumane...

[Mr Ektion]

Hey guys,

We only found out that it was a joke after Azim told me on April 3rd. I found out from Ben at ShyBrothers who stumbled upon teamhardcore the night of april 1st. I was not tryign to play along with it. i also found it very tasteless and sick. I'm just glad that nothing really happened to him. blah, i feel like an idiot for posting all that sappy stuff memory of the guy. ugh.

glad he's alive.
sorry for scaring anyone.
