Wow, the first on this page! Anyone who missed Industria, missed a great party.
Good music! Good Lighting! Greg B. your my favourite DJ! Loved it, and had fun.
The Insider - Tue May 2 21:11:47 2000
EC..(just another thought) To put it simply.It should go without saying that David Wilkins as sole selector for Hand In Hand should at least pay the curtesy of asking Dj's to express an interest rather than the current situation of closed shop where he chooses the Dj's he is friends with.That my dear put simply is called good manners!!!!!
The Insider - Tue May 2 21:27:30 2000
Good Manners ????? Something this community sadly lacks
Tue May 2 21:28:55 2000
yeah Richard !
This is the onion of the poster - Tue May 2 23:09:26 2000
To all of you that seem to be unhappy with Inquisition..... I don't understand why you want to kick an awesome party!!! The crowd was obviously having a great time as the majority stayed til close...... so I think there is more bad comments just coming from those who don't know how to run a party!!! and are scared of good organisers and production companies. Just do a good job with your own parties please. Congratulations Leather Pride you obviously do know how to run a party!! Congratulations to Norwest for Sound, Steven Hales, Camellian and Oracle for Lighting and Lasers!! Congratulations to David (Baby Bear), Kate, Paul and Mandy for there mix of DJ talent!!
Disapointed at some of his fellow community members attitudes - Tue May 2 23:36:21 2000
You know a party is really kicking arse when you are riveted to the dance floor. At Inquisition, most people on the dancefloor were looking bored, chatting to each other, waiting for a better track... making the best of a bad situation. Thank god for good drugs is all I can say.
Wed May 3 8:46:04 2000
This is the opinion of the poster.
and did you notice how sparse the dance floor was by 7am, and how busy it was outside?
Wed May 3 8:58:34 2000
This is the opinion of the poster.
That simply isn't true. I stayed till the end. The floor was full, people were dancing, having sex, having fun, having a great time. It was a good party.
Inquisition lover - Wed May 3 9:21:30 2000
the dance floor was full at 7am. thankyou mandy rollins
Wed May 3 10:03:39 2000
The Insider: for your information the Hand in Hand Working Group is convened by a Board member of ACON and has two other Board members on the group so ACON has an active part in David Wilkin's decisions re the party
The Convenor - Wed May 3 11:05:55 2000
You onviously did not check out the back of the dancefloor, near the DJ box, which was quite empty by 6.30am. I also noticed how busy it was outside and could not get a seat in any of the stalls.

Well it's quiet obvious that the motives of some of the posters on this board are to deter boys who didn't make it to Inquisition 8 from going to Inquisition 9 next year. I guess they think it's easier to undermine other parties than compete in a professional manner. Just some food for thought.... and congratulations to all involved in Inquisition 8 once again. Anyone who was there knows that the crowd was fabulous nearly 100% gay. The room showed thought and creativity and effort now somewhat rarely seen.
Disappointed at some of his fellow community members. - Wed May 3 12:40:46 2000
Offensive comment deleted.
Leave Paul alone he is a very nice straight closet gay man whom as a DJ has done nothing but nice kind caring and sharing things for the gay community over the last 16 years he has been a spinning.
He has given us some fantastic parties thanks so much Pauly. Long live DJ King Paul. My hero who saved my night with the anthem 'master and servant'. Now that was in extreme good taste such a gay anthem that only a True GAY at heart DJ would play. So Wilma, Paul may be straight in private with you but his music is so gay we can only love him for his/your commitment to the gay community. Thanks for being the campest straight’s I know.
Wed May 3 13:28:52 2000
The personal attacks on DJs and others here is quite sickening. Grow up and play the ball not the man (or woman or person of indeterminate gender). What does someone's sexual orientation have to do with the music they play?

I enjoyed Inquisition and agree that the crowd was hot, gay and friendly. Were you wingers at the same party? Sex was going on in the middle of the dance floor and i had a great night and so did nearly everyone else as the Hordern was still packed at the end. Can't wait til next year.

Stop hiring bloody Kate Monroe! As a dj she is utter C * R * A * P!That is the opinion of this poster- don't you other ppl have ears?
I couldn't possibly say - Wed May 3 22:41:18 2000
c'mon, that DJ line up for Foot in Mouth is a joke, isnnit ? the previous posts reguarding the DJs being chums of the person that decides the line up is spot on ! oh well, at least Jamie Sciban is some new talent. cant say that about the rest. c'mon A.L.S.O. you gotta give me something good to do for queens b-day.
Nu Yawk Sity Boi - Wed May 3 23:14:52 2000
I really think people just have to realise that there are DJ's that get hired for these parties becuase they are known. That was the way Inquisition chose DJ's. They didn't seek tapes, they just chose names. This is not a bitch because everyone knew the method. If a party doesn't call for tapes, then it doesn't matter. I don't like the DJ line up for Hand in Hand, and it will be something to consider when I decide whether or not to go this year. I didn't like it last year and didn't go. It doesn't matter the method or the eventual line up: if you don't like 'em DJ's, just stay at home.
dave - Thu May 4 2:17:35 2000
Has anyone heard Jamie Sciban play? Just wondering what style of music he usually plays. Also, does anyone know if the Hand in Hand DJ's will play in the order they are listed? Be great to finish with Alex!

Thu May 4 7:30:41 2000
Well done to Sydney Leather Pride for a great effort (Inquistion). It was great to see a well planned smooth running event. No it did not suffer from it's move to the Horden. Special mention must be given, I think to Paul Goodyears set...He rocked! It was brillant listening to his opening track & seeing people stunned thinking this could not be Paul. 11 out of 10 for the dirty/sexy music. Kate & Mandy thumbs up also. The only people who are sure to complain ...are those who couldn't remember the night because of excess amyl intake & scuffed knees....admit it you had a ball or maybe 2 P.S. Great lighting design Timber Bear Brisbane
Thu May 4 9:37:54 2000
Paul didn't rock, but he did sink like a rock! I felt like I was at a cheesy version of Hand in Hand. His choice in music was inappropriate and fluffy! Mandy however did rock along with Baby Bear, it was just unfortunate that their good two sets had to be interuppted by two bad ones.
Thu May 4 10:36:58 2000
mandy rollins rocks my world
Thu May 4 10:42:04 2000
So it seems that some people had a great Inquisition, some people had an awful Inqusition. Depends on what you like I guess - at least there should be acceptance that there can be opposing views. This was the first year in a new venue and there will always be something to be learned from that - here's hoping that next year the Refectory can be a darker, more intimate space - maybe a separate area within the Hordern and that DJ choices cater for all styles -would be interesting to see what would happen if you took one of the regular Redemption DJ's (eg Queen Martine)and slotted them into the schedule. Agree that despite the need for some fixes that it was a great effort from Leather Pride and some of the concepts were really good (eg the Chapel and Hordern decoration and lighting). Nothing, no matter how well it works, should escape continuous improvement. But don't bag people who had a different experience.
lovin' it - Thu May 4 10:46:05 2000
Just what was Paul Goodyear's music inappropriate for? After 7 Inquisitions - I thought that his set was fine and I was bored by Mandy Rollins set - not saying that it was a bad set, just wasn't my style. Stop bagging anything that doesn't suit yourself.
lovin' it - Thu May 4 10:48:40 2000
What was Paul Goodyear's music inappropriate for? A Bar mitzvah, a wedding, a Leather party!, a party, a dance floor...

Hand In Hand DJ's how unusual.Did someone earlier say jobs for the boys in the selection process ? How very very very True.

didn't ask for tapes but thay did ask for resume's from dj's interested. So what's
the differnce, you tell me. Thu May 4 14:52:02 2000

Opinions of a poster re Inquisition: Mandy Rollins played one of the best sets
I have ever heard at the Hordern, Dome etc. I was in dance floor heaven from 5
til 8am. She turned an OK party into a great one (glad she played the last set).
I agree that her music was perfect for a leather party. That girl is gonna go
places. Otherwise, Baby Bear played a good opener and it was a pity he didn't
play til 1am; Kate was just what I expected her to be (boring) so I wasn't dissappointed
(although "9-5" was an unbearable dance floor moment); Paul G was a little better
than I expected; the crowd was very gay and lesbian, very sexy and very appropriately
dressed; and the Hordern looked superb (loved the cross in the middle and the
banners around the edges). Inquisition is still my favourite party of the year.
PS Mandy and Mark at Bombed on Saturday - woo-hoo! Nat (better late than never) - Thu May 4 15:02:51 2000
Tapes for inquisition: what's the difference?: I'm not saying that Inquisition should have chosen the DJ's any other way - as organisers the way they chose DJ's was their perogative. The difference, however, is that I know at least one DJ who put in a submission, isn't known in Sydney, has played a major dance party, plays music similar to Mandy, but wasn't asked for a tape, presumably because they're unknown. Please note this is not a bitch, if I was organising a dance party I doubt very much if I would chose an unknown DJ. The comment was simply that Inquisition chose to go with names and didn't risk no names by calling for tapes. The end point was that this is how parties work - known DJ's help pull numbers, and that's fine. If this means that a punter does not like the resultant music/line up, then it is up to the punter to decide not to go. Hopefully there will always be the samller venues and parties willing to provide a particular music policy. I don't think Inquisition is one of those parties, and I stress again that I don't think of this as a critisism.
dave - Thu May 4 15:24:58 2000
My my dave, you sound like a budding DJ ... ;-) EC - Thu May 4 16:52:17 2000
Geezus stop bitching everyone! Who bloody cares how the DJ's were picked or if they are 'names'. What do you expect - unknown DJ's being selected for huge parties like Hand In Hand or Inquisition? When you are catering for thousands of people you can't risk someone whose tape 'simply sounded good'. They must have a proven reputation. If you don't like the music then don't go - support the lesser known DJ's you do know so they become better known! Also - what's with the constant complaining about every party? I always manage to have a lot of fun at every party/club I go to. It seems some of you will never be satisfied with anything. Mardi Gras Party sucked, Industria sucked, Inquisition sucked, Frisky sucked. Oh and we know Hand in Hand will suck, Sleaze will suck, and New Years Eve will suck!! We already know they will suck so why don't we all just stay at home!?

Your all infested maggots waiting to hatch! Into lovely creatures with something
positive to say and love in your heart. umm just like the topic of the last few
days the dance party DJ remix king you should all learn from his example, say
nice things and don't put others down. Get back what you give 3 fold!!!!! Revelation - Thu May 4 17:19:41 2000
No thanks Paul - Thu May 4 14:47:26 2000 Bite your tounge! you're not suggesting that Paul is fleecing the gay community like Arq, are you? Just because he works there I'm sure he doesn't share their beliefs, or sterotypes.
Thu May 4 17:22:16 2000
To all those peole that keep trying to say who should be playing at parties please keep this little thing in mind D.J's that don't submit an expression of interest to play at a party are not going to be chosen hence Annabelle Gasper and Bill Cotsis could who dod not submit did not get chosen to play. Dave the D.J's were not as you suggest chosen just because of a name, all D.J's were asked to inform the party committee where they were playing currently so as that they could be heard in person not just on a tape/cd that could have been produced and mixed over several hours not a true indication of how they play live, and further to that D.j's that were not playing regularly or locally were advised to submit a tape/cd to the committee so that an idea of there style could be given. So come on guys don't pretend to be experts on a subject you know nothing what so ever about all you manage to do is cause unecessary agro and make yourselves look very very stupid.
tierd of the Inq8 bagging - Thu May 4 17:31:51 2000
Having fun wherever he goes - You must be one of the only person/s on this board
that has said something true. Partys are not there to make your fun, neither are
the presents, the drugs, nore the spin the bottle games or pass the parcle. We
as individuals have to make the best of what has been given by the promoters.
I had more fun at the old parties in the 80's than these recent ones. No smart
wizz bang lighting just simple lighting, and fantastic company, shit sound, great
conversation, and no drugs. It's not the parties that have changed for the worse
it's the huge number of inner city drug pigs that need rehab. Thu May 4 17:36:00 2000

Black ! I hear a rumour that there would be no more Black parties ? Oh well... that's great news, loved the last Black and will be at this one :-) As for Inquisition.......had a good time there too !!! Well done to everyone who put in so much effort.
Thu May 4 18:36:03 2000
Actually, tierd of the bagging, EC was right - I sound like a budding DJ. I put in the application for Inquisition, haven't played in this state, and was never advised or asked to put in a tape. Again I say I'm not complaining about this - I probably wouldn't have asked me in the same position. I was merely trying to say "stop complaining about Kate, she has a reputation that is known and applied for the gig, and therefore deserved to get picked". For the record, I also haven't comlained about the party once, had a great time, and think it was probably the best I've been to for a while (perhaps with the exception of the ICE recovery after Mardi).
dave - Thu May 4 18:37:55 2000
what is the dj line up for black party?
need to know - Thu May 4 18:58:04 2000
To all you Paul Goodyear haters (there are probably only one of you really) get over it, your attitude is so pathetic and so damn wrong. Paul is a part of this community because he is passionate about his music and provides us with one of the best forms of fun that we all share here. you on the other hand show the community only negativity by choosing to bitch about his sexual orientation. you are really boring.
tom tom - Thu May 4 21:06:23 2000
Re: Having fun wherever he goes: So your trying to tell me the dj's who play at alternative party's are not known??? No, not like that. DJ's who play at alternative parties to alternative people are known by those people. However, for big parties such as those held in a venue such as Hordern, they need to cater for the huge amount of people - hence alternative DJ's don't tend to play, otherwise they would no longer be 'alternative' would they (but then we could start bitching about them couldn't we!?). Dj's playing at alternative parties may be well known. The point of my post was for people to try to have fun wherever they go - the music may not be all your choice but it's very possible to still have fun. If you decide to go to a party then have fun and let loose. If you dislike the DJ's or think the music that DJ plays is crap then stay at home! Everyone is saying how crap Hand in Hand will be - but no doubt there will be thousands there. If you're one who hates the party or the DJ's then don't go and let the ones who enjoy it enjoy it! Inquisition is not my thing so I didn't go - it really wasn't such a hard thing to do.

The Sydney Star Observer have a lot to answer for. Where was the coverage on Leather Pride Party? Not one word! How can the SSO call itself a community newspaper when it ignores a major community event! Whether the SSO had access to the party or not (Read here that maybe they weren't made welcome), surely, a story could have been produced from the reports of the many, many PCMs at the party. Shame SSO Shame! Marcus O'Donnell should be hauled over the coals by the Board on this one - stuff editorial independence, this was just plain political crap at its worst.
Fri May 5 15:21:11 2000
what's a PCM?
Fri May 5 15:42:45 2000
Yes that was a pathetic effort by the SSO but at least they're consistent. And
the best bet for this weekend? Bombed@77. Fri May 5 16:40:28 2000
The SSO did have one piece on Inquisition - "Gossip" commented favourably about
Kate playing "9 to 5"! The lack of photos was quite extraordinary. Where were
you Mazz? Hey puppy - I think most of the postings about Inquisition have been
fairly positive. See ya'll at Bombed. Nat - Fri May 5 17:09:20 2000

Give me a break - there was advertising dollars involved in all of that. Reporting news is still important and that awesome party was certainly news - especially to other party organisers who tend to ignore simple things like 'what the party goer' actually wants!
Fri May 5 20:07:41 2000
I personally didn't have the bestest time at Inquisition (which is just my own issue to deal with) just because it has dramatically changed from the Inquisition parties that used to be and I guess I am mourning the loss of a party that will clearly now, never be like that again...but for all those who went for the first time and had a hoot, that is fantastic. They just aren't aware of what it used to be like and what they have missed out on. Saw the ad for Black the other day and was over the moon!!! This will be my Inquisition...this will be the down and dirty freakshow party that I seriously want to lose myself in...Thank you Black..went to one last year and had the best time. I am seriously hoping that all the filthy subculture types who stayed away from Inquisition will come out from under their rocks for this one. And did anybody notice that Capital Q also had nothing on Inquisition???What gives?? Were their cameras kept out of the party and if so, is this payback time from both newspapers??
Johnny Bravo - Fri May 5 20:45:04 2000
The papers were told to stay outside to take photos. Aand that included the guys trying to take there own digital cameras into the party

Its such a shame the anticipated planetary allignment of 5/5/2000 did not cause the the end of the world as predicted.A few of the people who make postings in here would have quite enjoyed burning in hell after some of the most ridiculous and mean spirited comments i have seen on this board in a long long time.

Sunday May 7,2000 Channel 7 Evening News.News Report on Drug Bust and Raid At DCM Nightclub at 4am sunday morning 7/5/00. Media were tipped off,the club was shut down and two arrests for dealing were made.What was disconcerting was the interview with the Officer in charge of the Bust who made an open handed warning to All venues on Oxford street that this behaviour "would not be tolerated and other venues can expect the same treatment if necessary in the near future". How scarry !!!!!
Sun May 7 19:27:11 2000

i didnt go to bombed,so i gather it bombed out
Mon May 8 9:45:28 2000
And who are you that makes your presence at a party so vital to it's success?
Get over yourself. Bombed was very good. Very busy, great music, very mixed crowd.
It looks like they have found a venue that works for it (unlike the Shoebox) and
we can look forward to many more. Nat - Mon May 8 14:10:55 2000
no need for arson at ARQ the owners keep burning their bridges. I noticed that GAS are a sponsor for hand in hand, ARQ on the other hand seem to have no interest in supporting organisations that in turn provide something for the community.
well done guys... *w*a*n*k*e*r*s* - Mon May 8 16:23:34 2000
where was bombed held?
Mon May 8 17:08:21 2000
Now that DCM has ben raided please please please tell me that they won't come up and make the crowd at Arq even worse and even straighter than it already is
Mon May 8 18:53:32 2000
Well just ring the cops and tell them that there is dealing at arq and then they can bust them there too.
round and round we go - Mon May 8 21:27:29 2000
this is all good and well, but who are the DJs for WinterDaze ?
Electric Boy - Mon May 8 23:08:05 2000
Had an absolute ball at Inquisition - thank you to all. To the poster who made a statement about Steven Hales lighting being boring, wait until you see what Alan purl Parkinson (Sydney's most over worked lighting designer) scraps together for you at Hand In Hand. By the sound of it there will be a DJ lineup to match.
what will they expect next? - Mon May 8 23:17:56 2000
More straight lines, moving trusses with Varilites (boring!) on them, poorly operated laser (maybe 2, if you're lucky) - it will be a miracle if they can match Inquisition! Not that they will even try!

Well since the lasers are operating mostly by Oracle themselves for Pearl's jobs, it shows you have no idea about the use of lasers! Witness the RHI at Sleaze compared to Inquisition. RHI - laser dances and keeps pulling out amazing tricks. Inquisition - last goes on laser goes off (on mostly), laser goes up, laser goes down, laser goes from side and side, laser does nothing with colour. RHI had 4 lasers, Inq had two.
Get It Right!!! - Tue May 9 11:54:56 2000
SH has no idea about colour or movement!
Tue May 9 11:57:48 2000
To: Inquisition in Need of an Overhaul - Mon May 1 11:43:08 2000 - basically - you haven't got a clue, you're just bitter and twisted and unable to be pleased. Your comment that Steven Hales is the "most overrated lighting designer" was so off the mark, that it angered me to write. I imagine you weren't at Mardi Gras in 1996 when Steven put together the "Freedom Rings" as that was the best lighting rig I, and many others, have had the joy to witness. Put your head back in the bucket of sand you're so happily inhabiting!
Ms Moo - Tue May 9 12:04:44 2000
I had the pleasure of working in the RHI for the 1996 Mardi Gras party.While lighting isnt my "thing" let me say that I fully endorse the previous poster "Ms Moo" (what a camp name) about the Steven Hales designed freedom rings.For a boy who doesnt have much to do with lighting this rig made me sit up and pay attention.You wont see or hear me ever complain about Steven Hales work cause I think its very kool indeed.The highlight of that night was when Steven at one stage used every blue light on every rig and varylight and washed the whole RHI in a sea of blue.It was very kool,but then again I'm a sucker for that Vary light Indigo/blue colour,its my favourite !!! There you have it,a positive constructive comment on pinkboard,quite a rarity these days.
Every Shade of Blue - Tue May 9 13:21:23 2000
I think we have some very talented people in lighting, Alan P, Stephen Hales, Brad Wright are among the best I have seen in the entertainment industry. A little competition can go a long way but this communities ability to bitch and degrade people is downright f*u*c*k*ing pathetic..... get over yourselves and grow up there are much better ways to encourage the talents of your prefered lighting gurus.
tom tom - Tue May 9 13:38:40 2000
So now the failed DJs have been joined by failed lighting designers. If you're not good enough to get these jobs, maybe it's because you're too busy backstabbing and trying to undermine talented people who are actually getting jobs to put your back into getting a break for yourself. Think about it.
Tue May 9 13:44:14 2000
Speaking of lighting people, what does Geoffrey Rose do these days? His lighting in the Hordern Mardi Gras 96 (I think) was one of my all time favourites. It too, used the rainbow colours to amazing effect.
Nat - Tue May 9 13:46:44 2000
What with Inquisition I forgot to mention Pete Wardman at Storm on the Friday night before. Hideous! A smallish crowd of about 70% "girlies", 20% gay men and 10% girlies' boyfriends. And to make it even worse, Wardman's music sucked. I know he can play much harder (as I've experienced at Trade in London)but for some reason he chose to play ordinary, boring vocal house music. Luke Leal's set before him was much better. Now I know never to go back to ARQ.
Nat - Tue May 9 13:56:15 2000
Ooohh I love blue..... Brad Loves Purple, Simian Loves Blue.
:-) - Tue May 9 13:56:46 2000
"Nat"...To answer to your last question re Geoffrey Rose.His last major job was Industria at the Metro in April,I thought you would have known that.And as For Geoffrey Rose,did anybody see him on Sale of the Century last year when he won the car,it was very funny.

Does this board have any worthwile value except to bitch about dj's and lighting guys. You are a bunch of @#!*& who obviously have nothing better or meaningful in your life.
@#!& - means no words to describe you. - Tue May 9 16:29:59 2000
I don't think anyone has questioned Steven Hales' ability to put together a very nice rig with some great hardware. The claims are that he is weak at operating and programming. None of the lighting gurus mentioned in the last few days are good at all of design, programming and colour. Pearl is the master of programming and colour, Brad for programming and Steven for design. It would be great to see a big party take advantage of all these strengths and weaknesses in one hall.
Tue May 9 16:32:50 2000
If we're going to name fab-o lighting designers, you cannot omit the oh-so-creative Robert Lake. Anyone who attended M G parties in the 80s would know of this lighting legend. He is also the lighting designer for all of the HomoEclectus parties and works occassionally at the Oxford and Arq. His videos are also legendary.
the screaming dick who barfed - Tue May 9 17:09:41 2000
Inquisition 8 - Just bewdiful mate! Just bewdiful! Fantastic DJ's, gobsmaking lighting, and decorations that gave me a permanent hard-on. (Jesus, it was difficult to walk!) To those knockers who tried to throw crap at the various ingredients to this event, did that party make you look small! From the poster to the Mandy Rawlins finish, I wished it would never end. Leather Pride, take a well-earned bow. Stop importing small minded people, (who does this Pat Califia think she is. This town does not need such foreigners to divide our community and try to intellectualise our sexual behaviour), stick to parties, which you do well, leading Pride, Mardi-Gras, and Acon who all should take lessons from your party-people. Whoever came up with this "education by import" kick at Leather Pride, should be thrown out, or worse, kept well away from the Gay and Lesbian community. Can't wait for the next Inquisition Party. How about two a year.

maybe the people who think gay=handbag are the small minded ones? ZX - Tue May 9 19:22:10 2000
gay = handbag. Intersting. Gay "roots" (pardon the pun) from the late 70's and early 80's musically speaking was female vocal disco which in todays language Does indeed translate to handbag. If handbag aint your thing thats fine,but dont ever forget where "we" originated from musically.
Tue May 9 19:31:34 2000
I wonder whether talking live to each other might not be such a great idea. I'm trying to picture some Tuesday after a big party, you know ...
EC - Tue May 9 20:21:35 2000
Oh my God! The lighting at the last party wasn't as good as the party before!! [Insert name here] isn't as good a lighting whatchamacallit as [insert name here]. I think I will bitch about this forever on pinkboard. Puhlease - sure lighting is one of the elements of a good party but it is not *that* important that it would EVER ruin my time at an otherwise good party. I can't believe how many people complain about bloody lights! Honestly when I'm out - so long as the music and my company is good I really don't notice the lights. As long as they are pretty and nice who really gives a damn - are you that pathetic that you can't have a good time unless the party lights are being done by someone who you endorse? Can't you just go out and have fun without analysing all the enjoyment out of things?

Tue May 9 22:44:31 2000
To Tue May 9 16:32:50 2000 from what I have heard about Pearl he actually doesnt program nor does Steven but they pay others to do it for them. I agree with you that pearl is the master of colour and movement but when he does a Mardi Gras style event the guys from the lighitng company normally program for him - he just tells them what he wants. Steven is the same when doing Frisky he used to tell Brad what he wanted and he would put it in with some of his stuff. At ARQ Brad and another guy...Gavin..?? Did all the programming. This can be confirmed with Brad, who unfortunately doesnt read this board any more due to scathing comments made against him a while ago.

well? Wed May 10 14:29:17 2000
TW, it's the thought of the Gay & Prouds that makes me shiver. Oneupmanship (or personship) can be entertaining for awhile, but eventually the constant sparring gets tedious, which is why I gave up chatrooms long ago. Still, it could be interesting. I wonder whether Panther needs the extra headache though?

To all those bitching about Inquisition lighting well at least the mirrors stayed on the rig .... dont really think you can ask for to much more than that.

really low IQ - Thu May 11 17:56:28 2000
Excuse us? Sheena Easton is from the UK, as are the Trouser Snakes, and if you have a look at any moment what's on the top 40 charts in England you'll see it's a contest between the Teletubbies, the Smurfs and some boy band or other. Australians have the worst taste? I don't think so hunny.

Carl - Thu May 11 21:23:02 2000
Get this from today's SSO: 'Wilkins has also set down some music guidelines for the DJs: in the Hordern, he says, punters will be able to hear "music with lyrics". "The trend for a while has been very fast music that sounds like it has a lot of crickets and clicks and bells going off in it," he says. "That's fine for a while, and we certainly want energetic music, but we must have some emotion as well. That doesn't mean you're going to hear 'I Am What I Am' or anything like that, but the odd vocal can really affect a crowd and make it more celebratory." That says it all to me. I'm off to Mephisto to get my ticket for Black first thing tomorrow! It's time for Dave Wilkins get with it or get out.
TW - Thu May 11 23:28:25 2000
Go Carl! I'm right with you. I love the DJ line up for Hand in Hand (I'm sure you all know by now that Alex nearly always takes me to an alternative reality!!). My only question mark is with Kate - but you know what? I reckon it's gonna be a fantastic party anyway. Everyone knows what to expect re the music. You either like it or you don't. For those who like it....Hand in Hand is gonna go off!!!! For those who are into something else, seems to me that there's a few great alternatives happening that weekend. Whatever you're into, I hope you have as good a time as I'm very sure I'm gonna be having at Hand in Hand!! "Give me a podium to dance on, and Alex, and my world will shake to its foundations". Now there's a mantra worth embracing : ) For me anyway! Happy partying everyone.

When is Manny Lehman playing at Arq ?
Fri May 12 10:47:02 2000
Seems Kate has gone past her used by date for Dance Parties and plays for herself and not the dance floor. Arrive late for Hand in Hand would be recommended unless your a Dolly Parton/retro fan. No offence there Kate but really it surprises me after 15 yrs of parties how they don't realise that the -majority - of Party goers are used to the current music on radio and that anyone interested in Retro / Underground go to those Parties that advertise the fact. Inquisition crowd certainly are not into Dolly Parton and they only reason they don't move off the dance floor is the hope the next song will be better.
Fri May 12 11:12:13 2000
At the time, I wasn't in a state to move off the dance floor!
Nat - Fri May 12 12:27:41 2000

Mr Panties - Fri May 12 13:12:04 2000
Mr Panties....I so disagree !!! Or maybe I agree ??? Actually its a bit of both. I do agree with you about 2nd rate party circuit dj's from overseas.Both David Knapp and Pete Wardman were ****Complete Flops**** at Arq.We dont need any more of those Losers thanks.Where I disagree is the statement about the local dj's.I think Australian Dj's at this point in time are better than ***Anything*** than the UK or the USA can dish up. So Mr panties,given that statement that Aussie DJ's are the best in the world at the moment,where does that leave you ??? I have a theory : Why dont you pop yourself into the starship Voyager, blow yourself 70,000 light years across to the other side of the galaxy and explore other planets.Maybe you might find something to your liking in the delta quadrant.And while you are over there we subsequently wont have to hear your whining about oversaes *AnD* local dj's being no good.
A>D - Fri May 12 13:37:28 2000
Which DJ's, who haven't yet played at ARQ, would people like to see there?
Fri May 12 13:57:08 2000
Local DJs, that is.
Fri May 12 13:58:25 2000
Dear knockers! If you all remember correctly, the dolly song was immediately before the Show. The campness it engendered in the crowd with Leather Boys and others alike all with the hands in the air was, no doubt, totally intended, and what's more, it bloody well worked, getting everyone ready for Paul's show.
Gee guys, understand the structure of a party as well as individual songs and DJs. It's an overall production, not individual segments. Learn about the business of 'showbusiness' and understand why things are done, or please refrain from ignorant ramblings.

the place sux. moving to another dimension - Fri May 12 16:31:55 2000
Nat, dearest! Why don't you introduce yourself to a few of the promoters you love to criticise. You're the one with no idea sweetheart. Your moronic ramblings of the last 6 months or so only show your ignorance, not ours. By the way, dear gNat, what do you actually do for a living? You are not a DJs Queen or a Trolley Dolly, are you? Please, do tell us all - we are all waiting for your expertise on dance parties to be shown by your profession!
Sorry to insult DJs Queen and Our Ladies of The Skies!

Potentially libelous message deleted.
That's right guys just keep on bitching.... like the drawn out series Melrose this wall will soon reach its used by date. You should start writing more about the DJ's you love and why you love them. ARQ is a top club for it's lighting and it's sound and it also has some great and had some great DJ's playing there. All you need to do is look back through party history and see that everything goes around in cycles and the best nights out are not often relived by hashing out the same stuff week in week out. Hopefully ARQ will realise this and not fall vitim to the rut that a lot of other clubs pubs have. For a lot of us it is all about the music and for the rest, they just follow us.
Tom Tom - Fri May 12 17:59:36 2000

When is the next ice.... It's what we need this winter. Fri May 12 18:08:24 2000
I heard that Kate had finished her set at Inquisition and was told to play one more song before the show came on. She didn't have much left and just threw on Dolly and said "f**k it!" I walked off the dance floor at the time and remember seeing other people walking off as well as lots of other people enjoying it!
Fri May 12 19:20:46 2000
Re the poster above - Oh my god, it's a revolution - someone on this wall has actually realised that people have different opinions. This is like a small step to self discovery. I'm OK. Your OK. This wall isn't. (PS Mr Panties - if you are in space, I didn't see you on tonight's repeat of Next Generation, but I guess they are repeats. I'm sure that I heard Vicki Sue Robertson in the background though)
lovin' it - Fri May 12 20:03:37 2000
Next ICE is 27 May. According to Cap Q the last one till after Winter, which matches
the story in last month's Star that the promoters are going overseas for winter.
Boohoo! Well we still have Bombed and maybe Maggott over winter, but please come
back soon Ice! Fri May 12 20:51:35 2000
Those bloody ICE guys never spend a winter in Sydney! :) Fri May 12 21:39:26 2000
Maggott- great people.great music.Mandy Rollins you ROCK . Sat May 13 14:02:57 2000
A>D, you read me slightly wrong. I didnt say that all local DJs are crap, just a few of them and we dont need to import any more lacklustre DJs. I know that Australia has a huge amount of talent for such a small dance music scene and "mainstream" gay clubs have to start to use a bit of imagination or this town is gonna get really dull. I dont want to name names on who should or shouldnt get work. I dont think I need to :-)
Mr Panties - Sat May 13 14:29:07 2000

Anyone go to Maggot, or heard anything about the party? Rumour has it that it
was the last party at Angel Place. Mon May 15 8:12:47 2000
No, I'm not sure what he/she is talking about either (the nameless one at Fri May 12 16:42:11 2000). It sounds like I've been criticising promoters all over the board, however, I can't recall having done so recently. I think that most promoters have been doing an excellent job over the last 12 months. As for Maggot - great night. And apparently it is likely that it will be the last queer party there as the venue is to be sold.
(G)Nat - Mon May 15 11:28:55 2000
Maggot was better than your average so-so Friday night. It is (the venue) being
sold soon. Line up change happenning @ Phoenix soon - should be worth a beer.
Mon May 15 14:37:51 2000
Ah yes there many a sci fi geek among us.. some you dont even know about..... assimilation is an unpleasant experience.
Mon May 15 16:22:09 2000
Yes, its amazing how many sci fi geeks are exposed during conversations at Maggott
parties! Maggott was fab, very friendly most gay crowd, RR Fierce was brilliant.
Another example of a UK import working well, as they usually do for the alternative
parties. Well done Mark ! Hopefully the new owners of Angel Place will keep it
as a venue for hire, put in a new sound system and a dance floor. Dancing on concrete
that afst is back breaking! Mon May 15 17:02:11 2000
Nat, you failed to answer the fundamental question. Where do your qualifications come from to comment so specifically on parties? And yes, by stripping parties apart you are first criticsing the promoter. Thinking otherwise only adds to the confirmation of your ignorance about how parties are run.
So, what do you do, apart from bitching and screaming on Pinkboard????????
Mon May 15 19:45:23 2000
Here we go! Now the opinion writers are copping criticism. Mind you, with the comments on Pinkboard lately, this may not be a bad thing. May shut a few of the wankers up! Would be nice if a few of the writers who wish to have a go so well identify themselves, or at least justify the comments with some experience.
Mon May 15 19:50:32 2000
I will N'E'V'E'R assimilate ! the conversations in here are kinda boring. how many days until Sleaze ? Madonna is doing the 1am show.

Your both such losers, Don't you both get it! Your recent actions only say that you must be scrapping the bottom of the barrel to try and get at me! Haha the laugh is on you sweetheart!
I know you read this wall heaps, I also know when you are online, I also know you’re the main person behind the slander against me on this wall. Your childish behavior is vile slanderous crap and your just jealous. Of what you ask?
I have style, sophistication, I have done all the things that I have, with out having to suck up to you and your pathetic nonsense. As for your future ventures may they fail just like your schemes to effect and get at me or my clan.

I am a regular dance party punter. That is my qualification. This wall is here so that the likes of me can voice an opinion and provide feedback. If you don't like it, then you should stay away. What I do for a living is completely irrelevant.
Nat - Tue May 16 13:54:31 2000
rampantly paranoid, I don't think! Get your hand off it! Was the message meant for you! NO! So go back to SciFi lala land and stick to the things your qualified at. Which is nothing I guess. Just like the crew of Galaxy Questlost with out a clue.

It is someone that lives beyond his/her means. They steal to get the next fix and they back stab to hide the truth.
Sound familiar?
I see some serious self-projection mate. You need to stop this crap or a lawsuit will land on your doormat. I will make sure that everybody knows what you have done, by taking you to the cleaners and ridding Oxford Street of the likes of you and your ugly partner. Your both Cardassian parisites and not worth any more energy.

I don't know why the anonymous person is hassling Nat who could hardly be accused of 'bitching and screaming'. In fact, the anonymous one seems to be the one 'bitching and screaming'. Making comment on what you hope for at a party or what you enjoyed or disliked about one is hardly a crime. That's what this board is for. There are plenty of other people who never sign a name who are very nasty and destructive, and I stand by my belief that most of those are failed or jealous promoters and unemployed DJs.

Take me to Heaven - Wed May 17 13:24:36 2000
Just think Take Me To Heaven, if everyone liked the cool and groovy music that you like, then you wouldn't be able to like it anymore because it wouldn't be cool and groovy ... so get down on your knees and praise the Lord for boys and girls with glowsticks.
Wed May 17 15:59:20 2000
EC. Does this mean that you will admit to who you really are? Given the continuity of your comments, it would seem that you have, or at least had, once upon a time, some professional involvements in parties. Is this true
The comments regarding Nat are justified. Surely EC, you have been the victim of naive and ignorant ravings about this and that at a party. Didn't it hurt? Ever?
Wed May 17 17:16:52 2000
Surely Take me to Heaven - Wed May 17 13:24:36 2000 was being sarcastic?? please please pleeeease let it be scarcasam.
Wed May 17 17:30:34 2000
But why are you singling out Nat? What's your agenda here? Sounds like you are a promoter yourself. Did Nat say something "naive and ignorant" about one of your parties?
TW - Wed May 17 22:55:22 2000
I'm with TW here.This turd bagging Nat should have all his posts erased,his not creating any conversation here but just being an idiot.I dont know who he is,what his agenda is,or what the hell he is talking about,but frankly i find it offensive and very very childish

pffft. you can stick that sci-fi stuff up ya bum. I'm going to bed.

Go on Mr Panties,off to bed with ya head between ya tail.Of ya go,impulse engines only.

No Warp Drive for Mr Panties,he prefers to travel by road !

wow the hype for Hand in Hand is pretty intense. I wonder if Dot will actually put a stereo PA in the halls ? he usually only gets mono.

This is the opinion of the poster.
Sounds like EC, Nat, TW, and A>D may well all be in the same bed. Shame it is the bed of bitterness and not knowledge.

Thu May 18 12:30:09 2000
And I quite like my bedfellows thank you. Now, could we move on from talking about me and get some buzz going about the next ICE party (time to forgive TW)? The last couple have been great fun. Perhaps the laser at the next one will be so big it'll vapourise everyone on the dance floor. And before anyone says it, no, I'm not an ICE promoter.
Nat - Thu May 18 13:28:04 2000
Nope to the anonymous one. I can honestly say that I have never had any involvement other than as a punter in any Sydney parties. As for being in the same bed as Nat and Technowarrior, nope, I've never even met them, though I hope I might some day.
EC - Thu May 18 14:58:57 2000
I love the sound of the Bed of Bitterness - never been there, but have experienced the Futon of Fear, which was directed at a boyfriend's ex. Fabulous.
lovin' it - Thu May 18 15:32:01 2000
The last big laser took up 1/3 of the dancefloor! If they put any more lasers
in there it will blow the whole Sydney power grid! Thu May 18 17:16:08 2000
Perhaps someone from Arq could let us know if tickets are being pre-sold for Wayne G on Sat night. I have called twice only to get an answering machine.

Your mother - Thu May 18 19:27:11 2000
Alan Parkinson has done Lighting on Frisky and Run? Don't think so! Wish the promoter could get the info right. No wonder we get the shits with disinformation on this wall.
Thu May 18 19:33:35 2000
Wonder if Alan looks as good as Steven in underwear??
Yummy - Thu May 18 19:35:20 2000
Wayne G tickets are on sale in the Vortex each evening
Thu May 18 19:38:51 2000
Magnitude Promoters - get your facts straight. To my knowledge Steven Hales has been the lighting designer for the Melbourne 'Run' and Sydney 'Frisky' parties since they began. Run is up to 9 or 10 years this year Frisky 4. Give credit where it is due. I couldn't imagine how Alan Parkinson would have involvement in these events?
Are you sure????? - Thu May 18 20:51:50 2000
I have just read though hundreds of comments slagging DJs and party organisers for their poor judgement and lack of artistic credibility. Volunteer to be part of the committees that stage these events and actively participate in the politics of dance if you believe that your opinions are of such value. You also can vote with your feet and not attend. Be proactive if you believe that your thought are of any value, otherwise, shut the F**K up! I'm sick of your whinging and bitching and taking cheap shots at people for doing one thing more than any of you ever did, get off your fat arses and participated in their community by taking ownership of their lives and dance parties!
Shut The F**k Up! - Thu May 18 21:11:29 2000
john portelli is so boring !!!!!!!!!
melb resident - Thu May 18 22:34:39 2000
That's right. Let's have a party wall where people are forbidden from discussing parties, DJs or promoters unless they have something postive to say. Get real. You also forgot to mention that you read through hundreds more comments saying postive things about parties, DJs, promoters etc. Try balancing your point pal. Also realise that this wall is an opportunity for punters as well as people involved in the dance scene to have their say and give feedback - both positive and negative. I've given my balanced share of both and I will continue to do so until this wall is taken down. If people like you don't like it, don't come here. PS Speaking of beds before, how about "The mattress of malice" ;)

No Kate did not have to thrown on one more song. She played it for a friend of hers really into Dolly. She waived to him and he went wild when the song played. Unfortunately the majority hated it so that'll teach her to take requests.
Fri May 19 14:04:12 2000
Dear Shut the F......its a pretty well closed group who organise the parties and it seems to people thats its now how good you are but who you know. How can you vote with your feet if the DJ line seems OK but its not till your on the floor you get assaulted by Dolly Parton. Not all the comments are negative , there are just as many positive comments. You pay $60 or more you have a right to comment ( not slander or visciously attack ). Free speech darlin'. It does seem to me though that some party organisers are stuck in a time warp and refuse to use new upcoming talent. 80's DJ's are mostly that ( no offence there as they are still Retro parties where they are extremely popular or chill out areas ) but todays party goers tend to be younger or started going out in the 90's and if you listen to the music on the current dance stations, it ain't for the 70/80's. I think you should be attacking the organisers and not the DJ's. P.
Fri May 19 14:13:49 2000
Hopefully Melbourne will like Paul Goodyear so much he won't come back to Sydney!
Fri May 19 17:16:01 2000
A>D, why do you keep mentioning Mr Panties and space ? we dont understand what you're trying to say. is it an "in joke" for the science fiction fans ? I'm confused.
Monkey - Fri May 19 18:12:21 2000

DateRape Victim - Sun May 21 2:00:43 2000
Did the ARQ thing last night with Wayne G. was good to get out and have a wiggle. Music on the whole was good, there were a few slowish patches but I was dancing up on the front of the stage for about 4 hrs so it can't have been too bad. Crowd was ok but not very cruisy. All in all I give it an 8 out of 10
