No, no secret at all Ms Mixie.

It's Marvs' anniversary at her work - so we have a free night @ Sofitel, including dinner and breakfast... woo-hoo!!!

Hoping to head in and see A-Sides and Co. after some dinner and drinks, very exciting for us folk who don't venture out much these days..

A good night in is a good night indeed Mixie - have fun!

Look at it... a young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times, you know, and she, uh, uh, owes money all over town, including to known pornographers, and that's cool... that's, that's cool, I'm, I'm saying, she needs money, man. And of course they're going to say that they didn't get it, because... she wants more, man! She's got to feed the monkey, I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?

[tangent][flow]So why is it then that in the beginning something something but always at the end it is assumed there will be nothing. Why the predujice against the end. It was after all the greatest skateboarding movie ever made. When they light that bus stop on fire. Holy Moley. And that mole, on that dudes face, was it really the Holy? Capital H on that or nadda? [/tangent][/flow]

[annoying]
I really am very confused about the up and down of the globe. I actually did my head in thinking about everything the other way up. Makes me mind actually boggle (don't even try to think about that one). The universe is not up or down, surely it in concave or convex though, makes me think of those grids, laid out on black, and transposed onto the universe and it would not lead anyone to think of up or down, but more bent or straight. But here we are, fixed to the ground by gravity, in a seemingly flat existence, when in actual fact (as apposed to a non-actual fact) we are as bent as Mary Jane on her 18th. And here we are thinking about everything in terms on up and down, upside and downside, positive and negative, when there is every likelihood that we should be thinking of everything in much curve-ier turns. I wonder how much more creative we would be if we thought of everything as curved rather than in the plain old straight up and straight down parameters we seem to have fixed the masses. [/annoyed]

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:00 pm

curvier eh.

so how would we express that. instead of saying stand up do we say "everybody please progress from 19 0 to 55 0". Perhaps we could just say "yo bitches get curvier". That might be misinterpreted though. Maybe all the skinny young ladies would run out and start eating cheesburgers. Not so bad actually, there would be more booty where there was no booty before, and I'm always in favour of booty. Plus it would be a real boon for the cheeseburger industry. Or maybe everyone would just bend. Perhaps even go on benders. Aha I just got that futurama joke. The robots named Bender, and he drinks a lot. Dynamite.

Well DBoy, it really depends which 3-manifold you think the Universe is...

Most options are hyperbolic, under which geometry there are infinite families of non-parallel lines, so everything is curvier:

Haha, I'm not sure I could let you do it GK!!

Google image 'hyperbolic plane' and see if there's anything you fancy. The disc model is circular so would likely work pretty well... Could prolly even chuck in some arrows......

You know you'd have to sit through a lengthy lecture about what it means though

(For now, try Wiki.)

I have a dream that one day this city will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all Fridays are created equal.

I have a dream that one day on the streets and in the clubs of Melbourne the sons of former Raves and the sons of former Rave owners will join together to rebuild our hope of a brighter Friday.

I have a dream that one day even in Toorak, a suburb sweltering with the heat of musical oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of Rave and Lasers.

I have a dream that my friends will one day experience a Friday where they will not be judged by their preferred genre but by the content of their bags. I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, here in Melbourne, with its vicious ageing rockers, with its out of touch Mayor having his lips dripping with the words of musical interposition and nullification; one day right in Melbourne all boys and girls will be able to join hands with DJ’s and Producers as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every rave shall be exalted, and every genre and style shall be made accessible, the rough systems will be made sweet, and the bad accoustics will be made better, and the glory of Friday shall be revealed and all the City shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the Friday that I will go back to into my next week with. With this Friday we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope and promise. With this Friday we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our lives into a beautiful symphony of excess and decadence. With this Friday we will be able to go to after work drinks together, to eat dinner together, to get supplies together, to get ready together, to stand in line for the door together, knowing that we will be free to Rave this day. And this will be the day, this will be the day when all of Fridays children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My Friday 'tis my fave, sweet sweet land of Rave, of thee I sing. Land where my forebears danced, land of Techno, Breaks and Trance, from every venue, let Rave ring!" And if Friday is to be a great day, this must become true.

And so let Rave ring -- from the main floor of Brown Alley.

Let Rave ring -- from the doors of Billboards onto Russel St.

Let Rave ring -- from the heart of Revolver.

Let Rave ring – from the downstairs room of La Di Da.

But not only that.

Let Rave ring -- from the Lounges balcony on Swanston.

Let Rave ring -- from the rolled down windows of V8’s on chapel st.

Let Rave ring -- from every alley and tiny club of the CBD, from every heart, let Rave ring!

And when this happens, when we allow Rave to ring, when we let it ring from every bedroom and every warehouse, from every suburb and every street, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Fridays children, Northside and Southside, ITM & MB.C, Techno and Electro, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old PLUR spiritual,

Free to Rave, free to Rave.
Thank Friday Almighty, we are free to Rave

Once more unto the weekend, dear friends, once more;
Or immerse the city up with our number.
In Friday there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest intentions and quiet plans:
But when the blast of rave blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the shuffler;
Stiffen the phat pants, summon up the bag,
Disguise fair nature with hardened peaking;
Then lend the eye a dilated aspect;

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 9:33 am

Almost 2 decades ago our forebears brought forth on this Friday a new purpose, conceived in our hearts and dedicated to the proposition that all raves are created equal. Now we are engaged in a time of great trial, testing whether this Friday or any Friday so
conceived and so dedicated can long endure.

Today we are met on yet another Friday. We have come to dedicate a portion of this Friday as a final resting-place for those who here gave their time that our Friday might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men and women, DJ’s, punters, promoters who have struggled upon this Friday have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. Melbourne will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the people rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who have sacrificed themselves to Friday have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored souls we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these pioneers shall not have toiled in vain, that this city under rave shall have a new birth of Friday, and that a Friday of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from this Earth.
