Full Moon of the First Fruits, 1999
Hello again. It seems along time since we last wrote
a letter to you back in the late spring. Many parties and much partying as
well as an Eclipse have all occurred in the interval. Old father time has
marched on and been the bringer of change. The success of the parties this
year and the great nights we have shared have been felt far and wide. As the
summer season ebbs and flows into the autumn's current new adventures beckon
to us. Are you up for them, the Pankster asks? We know he has a large bag
of tricks(& treats) in store . The build up towards the millennium is underway.
And after that? Who knows. As the great sage Yoda once said 'difficult to
see is the dark side'.
A big thanks to all those Panksters who came in their hundreds to a small, but perfectly formed, field in a beautiful part of Rutland. First Fruits had a lot to live up to as its 1997 predecessor was a storming night. It didn't disappoint. There were lots of new faces there, lots of old faces (many of whom were back to relive the 97 night) and loads of our regulars. It was great night for us to let our hair down and actually party with some of you, and also to get to know some of you better and some of you for the first time. It was striking how many people when asked if it was the first Hanky Panky said, 'nah, its my third' or 'fourth'. It's hard to keep track of faces with so many new smiling additions. It sounds like everyone has some great anecdotes or funny tales to tell from the night. For example, the nosey farmer in the morning going back and forth for an hour in his tractor; the rumour that there was a police helicopter watching from above which was actually the planet Venus (well it was a night for 'seeing' things), and the punter who decided he wanted to be free and stripped down to his lovely tight underpants and said, 'Sing, fucking laaaa!'. Let us know your stories we'd love to hear about them.
In the meantime there is partying to be done. The next installment
of the Generate saga unfolds in the leafy surrounds of the Phorpres club on
Saturday 11th September. Get ready for lift off the climb up the Millennium
Mountain is starting with a balloon ride. Up, Up & Awayyyy
