Back in the good old days of Rave (1991 - 1996), I was Storm Trooper, Caffeine Addict, NASA Space Cadet, into Mental Unity, TWR, Layaway, Park Rave Maddness & everything else in between from the New York's Underground representing Brooklyn & Long Island and then traveling pretty much anywhere North and South of New York feeling the vibe from other states on the East Coast. In the early 90's, it was about the scene & Everyday People looking to escape the 9-5 Grind but hated the played out club scene. Thank god for Frankie Bones bringing back the Rave Vibe from the UK after just one trip of spinning for 10,000 people. Then the Brooklyn & Long Island Underground Rave scene was born (my opinion is this was the start of the whole Underground Rave Scene for the rest of United States which is still going strong today). After a few of Frankie Bones parties before they turned into Storm Rave, I became hooked & loved the scene so much that I'd joined forces with Dennis the Menace of Joint Ventures to help spread the word of Rave. It was great being a Promoter, going to parties anywhere on the East Coast, meeting new people along the way & had the best time from 1991 to 1996.
Now it's many years later and we still go out once in a while in Phoenix which has a nice old school vibe. Met some new people but it's nothing like the good old days.
Most of my time is about my family & enjoying every bit of life that comes our way. I have a great job with a Telecom/IT company & had become Foster Parents for about 2 years. Arizona has a major problem with Crystal Meth & 90% of the children within the system come from homes & parents that are addicted to it. Our goal was to give these children a better home and a clear insight of what life should be instead of the life their parents had created for them.
It was just heart breaking to watch these children leave our home just to end up back in the system after a few months because of the Next to Kin Family failed in what ever they did to help them. So because of that, we stopped Fostering due to the System isn't really helping the Children. It's just helping their Parent's peace of mind instead of the well being of the children.
Anyway, that's me and my Family in a nut shell. Thanks, CuriousG. Layaway & Caffeine Reunion Party. Bringing back the crew who started it all for Brooklyn's & Long Island's scene. Complements of Kimmy. And Complements of CuriousGeorge.
