      Hey Ataraxians,

      My name is Michael. I came to be in contact with your race through your human ambassador, Arwin. You guys sure know how to party. Hahaha....
      I live in San Jose. Since we're talking about food...I would love someone to go and pick me up some Cluck U Chicken...Atomic 18 piece wingers and a nice cold drink please.

      hi, my name is josh and I'm an ataraxian. my favorite passtimes are making music, frisbee golf, spinning records, camping, and all kinds of outdoorsy stuff. I moved up to Humboldt county a few months back to smoke pot and become a tree...and that hasn't been going well so i think i'm gonna get my degree in communications and stay human a little longer. I'm also trying to record an album right now (an album that would probably be much more marketable if I just turned it into a tree) .

        Well, I was born in Far Eastern Russia and my mommy put me through some vigorous phisycal training so when I came to America I could dance my ass off. That worked and now I'm here to be an obnoxious RPM-style dude and bug the hell out of everybody I meet at the party. "wanna hear a joke?"-- is my motto.
        oh, almost forgot- I love to stay till the end of the parties so I can help those cracked-out organizers to put their shitte back in a vans and clean up afterwards.
        At least that's what I think.

        WHAT the FUCK is FRISBEE GOLF?
        • Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

          Thu, August 25, 2005 - 9:05 AM
          its' golf with a frisbee. duh.

          just kidding, the way it works is you go to a frisbee golf course which is usually in the woods, get really high, then you take a bunch of weird looking heavy frisbees of different sizes and try and fling them into the "holes" which are just baskets on the sides of trees.

          it's a great sport for stoner guys. most girls don't really understand the attraction. :)

            all you need is weed, beer, a frisbee, and baskets on poles; and the will to smoke weed, drink beer, and throw a frisbee into a basket. it's really fun.
            --don't want to go off topic here, but i'm Vinny. I'm an overmedicated epileptic pervert who just happens to love the deep, dark, and hard (mainly psytrance). I've known Arwin since our days of looking for rocks on carpets, going to gay bars (good music), and hanging in the k-hole (good times!). those days are over now since you ataraxians were created.

        NO shit, you WERE there!! I didn't see you. how in the hell did that happen? I guess it just means that we were all too preoccupied with being there and having a fucking blast (as i hope you were). Shoot i think it'll be happeneing agin very soon. -take it ease, josh

          Pablo. Uhhh, I know Matt and Arwen. And Michael Liu. And a bunch of others.

          Just go to Secret Psychedelica sometime and see me playing pool or working at the door. (subtle plug...thank me later, Michael)

          And I hate to sound ignant, but hey Josh, how do you pronounce skedache?
          • Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

            Wed, August 24, 2005 - 6:44 PM
            i pronounce it skay-dah-chi . the name didn't have any specific meaning when i came up with it...i guess it just had a sort of indigenous and playful ring to it. then my good friend yusuke told me that in the japanese language there is a similar term that sounds like the way i pronounce skedache and it means to be the helping hand in a battle thats already underway (or something like that). Arwin thinks that it sounds like the name of some kind of foot ointment.

      Heya...

      I'm Greg, dj/producer/drunkass... I live in Monterey, but am moving to San Francisco in January. I've known Arwin and the heads for a couple of years now, and am looking forward to hanging out a bit more now that I will be closer. I had a blast playing the beach party guys! Thanks for a great show.

    I am a far away supporter in Iowa. I have met a couple of you when I visited California last year. Have known Arwin for about 8 years before he became a cool psy promoter/dj and was just a raver :)

    Anyways, I used to live in the bay area before I moved back to Iowa. Plan to visit sometime soon again to hopefully coincide with a nice event or two.

      I'm mike and no, I don't really look like Powdered toast man.

      When not too altered, I sometimes help Arwin and the gang move heavy objects.

            Hey, I'm Erik. Large and somewhat frightening, I come off as a completely different person than I really am. I am a giant freak inside, and the only reason to hide anything from me is if you don't want to share. I am usually innapropriate, mostly harmless, and usually confused or preoccupied, or what ever I am calling ADD this time.

                Alrighty, my Name is Ian, but loads of people know me as either DJ Dice or simply DICE!!! Yes with the exclimation marks, I get kinda spacy at times so peeps have to yell it at me to get me to pay attention. But yeah I'v been DJing for like 10 years or so, I started the Straylight Productions crew, used to do a radio show called "The Sounds of the Underground" if you lived in the Monterey bay area maybe you heard it? So yeah I spin funky breaks now, but along the way, I'v spun NRG, various forms of trance & techno, heck given the right circumstances, I'll spin just about aything with a beat, so long as it moves the crowd. Well thats enought blathering about me for now, if you wanna know more ask me...
                Peace
                Ian

    Im Andy. My favorite way to spend a weekend is dancing in the woods, preferably to psytrance. I got to do quite a bit of that this weekend at Symbiosis, and intend to do more of it next weekend at Goa Gil's birthday party.

    My love of dancing came from many years of going to Grateful Dead shows. I connected with the rave scene in 1993 in my quest for more dancing, and eventually found my way to the psytrance side of the house, because psytrancers dance more than anybody.
