***BEWARE EXTRA LONG REVIEW***
1 week and a few days later, my review of the Stilldream 9 Year Gathering.
Sorry
I haven't written early everyone, I immediately got called into work,
so no days off this year after the big event and have been working very
long hours every day which has left me drained of energy. I still
haven't even unpacked my car if that says anything.
Anyways what can be said about the Stilldream 9 Year?
First
off Holy Shit! What an amazing event! Here's a short list of thank
you's, (please forgive me if I forgot to mention ya I'm doing my best
to remember all the details).
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
Thanks you's:
Big
props go out to Felix, Rizin, Robyn & Dustin, Nick, Jay & Alex,
Heather, Steve Swami for all of their hard work that starts every year
in November and keeps going throughout the year until a week or two
after Stilldream when we get a little bit of vacation. To Ben &
Midnite, Adam Ant & Love Allstars, Alex and Adam with Viral Vibes,
Kelly and Tao from Whole Earth, Jon E. Qwest & Other Promotions,
Sosa, Dave & Matt with Exile Events and Night Droppin out in Utah,
thank you guys for all of your hard work and your time dedicated in
helping spread the message of Stilldream with our Warm Up Events all
over California, Nevada and now Utah (Look out Oregon your next).
Enough can't be said about all the people who put in that extra time
and energy into the dream, and help make it happen.
To our extended family and volunteer staff:
Tennyson
& all of Tribe Vibe (fire performers) Caley (Robyn's Cousin), Crazy
Carl, John Moon, Stuart, Mike Creature & Beth, Genny, Andrew and
Julie, Christafari, Mr. Rogers, JT, Elbereth and Brian, Marjorie and
Walter (Glass Blowers), Victoria, Jeff Thompson, Rodney from Funky Baby
and Balifornia, Wally, Paul and Joe from Operation Camp and everyone
else who I might be forgetting with my Swiss cheese memory. Thank you
guys! I can't say it enough but thank you, thank you, thank you!
For the guys who bring the Boom, Boom and those lights that make you go wow:
Tim
Manas & Lite Brite Sound, Matthew with Resonance Sound & Atom
ONE with National Entity. These three crews have become a staple of
Stilldream and our production. These guys really put it out there to
bring everyone the highest quality sound and lighting to remote
settings in and around California. Spread the love, if you have an
event coming up and need some help call on these guys they know how to
do it. Long haul weekends of 3 days plus set up and breakdown can
prepare you for almost anything, they are ready for everything and if
you don't know how to get a hold of them feel free to ask us, we'll be
glad to point you in the right direction.

Onto my review.
8
months of Planning, promoting, late nights, poor diets, lack of sleep,
tons of driving, meeting people from all over the country come to
fruition in one weekend. That was the Stilldream 9 Year. Lots of people
see Stilldream for one weekend a year but for us in the Collective its
hours upon hours and months upon months of hard work. Then it all comes
to a head and at some point you realize that things are in motion that
are way bigger then yourself. One might call it a leap of faith.
This
year’s Stilldream was by far the best event we have ever put together.
So many people and so many projects coming to light.
Travel back in time for a moment:
During
the planning of the 4 year Anniversary (now years ago, wow!) we decided
that we were going to push Stilldream towards bigger things then just a
party in the woods. Boy oh boy has it grown since then. Lots of hard
work are finally seeing Stilldream become what we had hoped and planned
for! Its really something to see years of growth finally coming
together to be what you were hoping for and becoming things you hadn't
even dreamed of when you made those first steps.
NOW:
The People:
Now
more people than ever are still dreaming about that wonderful weekend
in the woods where everyone can come and be themselves, express
themselves and make new friends from all different parts of the US.
That really has to be the most fulfilling part of doing this event is
seeing how many new friendships are forged at Stilldream.
Stilldream
doesn't pull from one region or crowd but has a very diverse group of
individuals from all walks of life. Everything from Burners, Ravers,
Hippies, Urban types to people who are just outdoor enthusiasts and
love a good event, and the thing that unites us all is that love for
music and community in a natural setting where we can share our culture
and expand our consciousness.
This year was nothing but
exemplary! Thank you to all who came to this year’s anniversary. I
personally thought that besides a few hiccups that this year’s vibe was
even more amazing and vibrant then any year previously! I cannot wait
to see what next year will be like. I'm already excited about next
June!!!!
The music:
Wow! What else can be said! This
year saw the biggest acts to ever grace Stilldream and diversity was at
its core. There was House, Techno, Trance, Dubstep, Breaks, Jungle,
Dub, Reggae, just about everything that resonates with the outdoors was
represented this year.
Though I didn't catch a ton of the
music, that which I did was honestly some of the best music I have ever
heard! Uberzone vs. Bassbin Twins destroyed it Friday night, followed
up by Doc who I heard nothing but amazing reviews from. Due to a miscue
between Stilldream and Vibesquads agent Vibesquad had to switch his
slot to Friday night. We apologize for any inconvenience to anyone. He
still rocked it from all accounts but unfortunately I was unable to
catch any of his set due to event duties.
Saturday was the
most active day I have ever seen at Stilldream, there was so many
people out and about, playing Frisbee, meditating, resting in the shade
of the Bamboo Pagoda, dancing under our new shade structure and misting
system. Stilldream was alive this year and I think it also helped with
the music break on Saturday Morning leaving people with more energy.
Hypnotech's opening Downtempo set Saturday morning could not have
opened the day any better. I was in awe and it was honestly the only
set that I got to listen to in almost its entirety. Just amazing! The
rest of the day was kept going strong with acts like Atom ONE, Kelly
D., Carlos Alfonzo, Adam Ant, Aleks, Jon E. Qwest and a few more. Thank
you guys you kept the dance floor moving and grooving all day long.
Saturday
night as far as production and time slots things went a little awry.
When dealing with so many live acts there’s a lot to be accounted
for... well to keep it short, We are still learning. It’s quite a
process to deal with and every year we get better at it. Thank you for
your patience and we apologize to everyone about the timeslots getting
moved around.
Saturday nights acts were amazing from everything
I saw from The Collab Project, Medicine Drum, Heavyweight Dub Champion
and PitchBlack! Jupiter destroyed the dance floor and expect to see
more of these acts gracing our events. Seriously mind blowing!!!
I
personally didn't catch any of Dresdens set but have heard mixed
reviews from he was their favorite to he was a giant pain in the butt.
I'm really bummed I didn't get to meet him or hear any of his set but
it so happened to coincide with the 3 hours of sleep that I got on
Sunday morning.
The music was turned down for a short time
Sunday morning unfortunately during our psytrance block of artists. I
have no idea what happened there but will be looking into it guys.
We'll make it up to all of ya that that happened to. Promise! Thank you
for your understanding!
The music kept on strong through Sunday
and I was so happy to see so many people sticking around on Sunday to
enjoy it. All the way up till the closing of the main stage around 4pm
people were dancing on the main green, and enjoying themselves and the
wonderful setting. It was an amazing site and am so happy to see people
embracing the extra day of enjoyment.
The Chilldream:
Once
again Swami managed to bring us tons of great and amazing talent from
some of Northern Californias best locals (Muti, Ooze System, Addictech,
Full Melt to name a few) and with great joy some of Southern
California's best as well (Kether, Dat Girl, Heavenly Father)! What can
be said that hasn't already. I didn't catch everyone's sets but caught
bits and pieces and alls I can say is "Fuckin A! Well done people!!"
That was some of the best and most original music I have ever heard.
Thank you to all the came out. Without you and your influence
Stilldream wouldn't be the same.
Remembering a dreamer - Ian Dice aka DJ Dice:
Also
on a sad note a long time friend and family member of Stilldream, A
person who along side SeventhSwami helped the Chilldream Stage grow
into what it is today passed away that Saturday morning June 20th,
2009. Ian Dice aka Dj Dice has helped for the last few years bring the
extras that made the Chilldream space warm, inviting and functional and
after a long battle with Melanoma left our world that Saturday morning.
He was ready to go to Stilldream even under the stress of being sick
but alas could not make it. Thank you Ian for all of your hard work
with Stilldream, Chilldream and your own company Straylight. You will
be missed, and will not be forgotten my friend.
Back to the review -
SUNDAY NIGHT:
Sunday
night definitely did not go according to plan or our contract. We
apologize to all of our DJs who were supposed to play on the Chilldream
Stage Sunday night and did not get to. We would also like to apologize
to any of our loyal Stilldreamer’s that were asked to pack up and head
home a day early. It was an unfortunate situation but we did our best
to manage and contain it. Thank you to all that were on staff and
volunteers that stuck it out with us, helped clean up the property and
pack up.
What happened?
The owners of Toney's
Mountain Golf broke contract with Stilldream and forced us to close the
event on Sunday afternoon / evening. No need to go into all the details
but if you had any issues with Toney's Mountain Golf Staff or Owners
please let us know (info@stilldream.org). We want to document all
instances and make sure that nothing like that happens again.
Toney's
Mountain Golf is a beautiful venue with tons of awesome amenities, but
because of the actions of the owners, Stilldream will NOT be
returning there. It’s for the best, for the safety of our guests, staff
and patrons. We had two beautiful and wonderful years there. Let’s
remember the good times that we had there and move on to the future!
Production:
This
year’s production was bigger and better than any previous year at
Stilldream. Thanks in part to Lite Brite, Resonance and National Entity
but a lot of the extra stuff you saw there was brought to you by
Stilldreamers Crazy Jay and Alex and their families. Tons of hard work
and energy were poured into all of this year’s decorations, actually so
much that we ran out of time putting everything up and some things will
have to wait till next year’s anniversary to be fully unveiled. Also
big ups to Dustin for turning the Mandela from this year’s Stilldream
Flier into a reality and the party center piece. Amazing job people!
Just amazing. I think you managed to blow everyone's minds this year
and we can't thank you enough for all the months of hard work and
dedication you put into this event.
The Concha Dome:
A
dream come to reality is all I can say. Heather has been working on
this all year along with our 2nd Saturday Art Shows. She has gone the
extra mile on every turn to make sure that Stilldream is more than just
a party, she has finally given a home for all the Stilldream Art,
Meditation, Energy Workshops, Yoga and now even Guest Speakers. This
year I saw the Domes always bustling with people it was truly a dream
come to reality and we can't thank Heather and all of the Concha Dome
guides and volunteers for all of their hard work to bring that little
bit of something extra for all Stilldreamers to enjoy. THANKYOU! Also
big thanks to Christafari and Crazy Carl for the Domes. Providing The
Concha Dome and the Stilldream Art Gallery a place for people to
gather, share and expand their knowledge.
Also a huge thanks
to Marjorie and Walter who were doing the Glass Blowing demonstrations
this year. They went well and above the call of duty to help make sure
Stilldream ran as smoothly as possible. You guys are family now!
Operation Camp:
Big
thanks to Wally, Punk Rock Paul and Joe for restoring the Burning Man
legend back into working order and finding a new home for it at
Stilldream. It was so amazing to see everyone playing it all night
long. Operation Camp lives on now at Stilldream. thank you guys you did
a great job and peoples laughs, screams of joy while being shocked were
proof of it! Can't wait til next year!
About the Fire:
All right here's a little rumor control for everyone.
Facts:
Yes there was a fire on a nearby property. Luckily it was reported in
time and was put out by a bunch of people from Toney's Mountain Golf
and some Stilldreamer Volunteers and staff. This fire was no joke. I
later went down to the site where it happened. The location of the fire
was between 1/2 a mile and a mile down a trail leading off the
property. There was 1500 sq feet of burnt and the fire nearly reached
the tree canopies.
It is unclear who started this fire,
whether it was by accident or planned, or even if it was a person, the
previous night there was tons of Dry Lightning lighting up the skies
all around the property, maybe it was some residual of that. We have no
idea and most likely never will.
The Owner who had finished
putting out the fire with luck of having a water truck on site was
convinced that it was one the Stilldream Attendee's and wanted nothing
more than an apology from the person who started the fire. Citing that
if no one stepped forward he would shut down the event. Once everyone
was informed it was quite an amazing site. Immediately we were
approached by over 20 people who each said that they had started it and
were willing to step up and face the music. Whether any of the
individuals actually did start it or not I personally doubt it but have
no way of proving one way or another.
The person who
apologized to the owner took full blame and honestly it was one of the
most honorable things I have ever seen go down in my life. I was
brought to tears by the sheer guts that he had.
For those
spreading rumors, we at Stilldream not once ever encouraged anyone to
take the rap for this unfortunate event, this was a pure act of faith
by one individual who I now hold in my deepest regards. They have
earned my trust fully.
Regardless if the fire was started by an
individual or an act of nature this is a great lesson to be learned
that if you smoke, cigarettes or weed or whatever, it’s VERY important
to know where you are ashing and to be constantly aware of your
surroundings. Once again a bad situation brought the best out of people
and we saw some real team work come together to manage and put that
fire out.
Please be aware and respect the fire rules when you attend events or even just camp in the forest. NUFF SAID!
Wrapping it up:
Stilldream
every year brings forth unique challenges that you can only due your
best to prepare for. Every year is a bit different and has its own new
set of challenges but with that being said I think we saw our most
succesful and positive Stilldream to date even with a few of the
hiccups. This year brought people from far and wide. We even had people
in attendance from as far as New York and as far north as Alaska.
Every
year we aim to bring you the best music, production and vibe.
Stilldream is a forum to express yourself and every year we see more
and more people getting hands on involved. Its truly becoming an asset
to the community for expression. We are always looking for more good
people who would love to help out and bring something extra to the
event. If you would like to get involved shoot us an email
(info@stilldream.org). We fully believe in if there's a will there's a
way. We want to see your dreams come to reality.
This years
Stilldream was a huge success in many different avenues, Its truly
amazing to see how people band together in times of need to help each
other out and keep the dream alive. Every year we continue to grow,
expand and spread the message that no matter what is happening within
our lives, that we have a place to join together and become a giant
family.
We look forward now to the future. The 10 year
Anniversary is on the Horizon. We are on the hunt for a new venue with
a few locations already in mind. If you have leads we can always use a
helping hand. Let us know!
More from Stilldream:
Expect
more from Stilldream. Look for us every 2nd Saturday in Midtown

up quick. Check it out: BLVD w/ MC Souleye comes to Sacramento Friday

dream and trusting us with your visions. We love you all!

Current mood:  inspired
A friend of mine wrote me asking:
What's the most exhilerating set you've ever played?
After writing the response to her I thought this might be something fun to share. So being that it was written to her some of the grammar might seem kind of weird but here's my response that I wanted to share.
I've been waiting to respond to this to make sure i had enough time to put some thoughts into it.
I guess you could say that there is different forms of exhileration. I'll list the ones that come to mind right off the bat in no particualar order.
1. Tropicana - If there was one that would take the cake this would be it. I argued with the venue owners for an hour to let the party go til 2. They were lied to, so was Andy by Toney from Stoney's skate park. After all the deliberation they agreed to let it go til 2. Luckily my set was from 1-2. I got on and premiered Phokus' and my first track together "Blackhole Burnout". The vibe couldn't have been better. That was a truly definining set musically. I really felt like I hammered the crowd, our track almost tore the roof of the building and on top of all this girl that I was crushing on Pebbles tore of all of her clothes during the peak while dancing on the subs right in front of me during the last 15 mins of my set. We ended up kissing over the decks in front of the whole crowd while the whole place was screaming their heads of. It was truly epic. I'm not usually into girls getting naked at events, djs doing this or that blah blah blah, but it all happened perfectly.
2. The Velour Lounge (chico) - Small place fits 100+ a little more. Played a set there a few years ago that was another defining set as they go. They gave 2 hours and 45 mins to do what I wanted. I dropped some of freshest progressive and dirty breaks that were out and it was this amazing experience. It was a smaller crowd but the place was packed the setting couldn't have been duplicated. Lacey told me after that set that she literally left her body while dancing and felt as if she was floating above it. I think that pretty much sums up the whole place. I later came home and was so inspired that I recorded, "Broken Brown" (http://www.stilldream.org/gamma/music/brokenbrown.mp3), so if you're curious what it sounded like without being there listen to that mix.
3. Blackout - Just one of those sets where I had my finger on the button. I could do know wrong. After a full night of straight bangin techno, I was closing the party from 2-3. Decided to instead of straight keeping with the theme I would end it with some tech trance. I figured people would appreciate the breakdowns and build ups, as well as the melodies after hearing so much full on bangin music. Played some stuff from John 00 Fleming and other artists and literally killed it. It definitely had one of those feelings where the crowd was surging forward during the peeks then hammering them back with the drops. It was this wave effect between my energy, theirs and the music.
4. Bumpin Jumpin Jetrock - Last summer 2008 hadn't played in SF for awhile came back with a new sound, a mixture of techno, breaks and electro where they were all smashed into one. Was playing in the breaks room was supposed to do a tag set with Phokus but he couldn't make it so had the hour to myself. Straight destroyed the place, people didn't know what hit them. Reviews came from a lot of well respected bay area djs with questions like, "What the fuck were you playing, I don't know what its called but I call it Awesome!". Its one thing to have reviews from the fans, and attendees, but when you can turn the heads of seasoned DJs your stepping in the right direction. That night then inspired the mix, "the ebb and glow" (http://www.djgamma.com/sound/gamma_ebb_and_glow.mp3) and has honestly opened the doors to where I'm at now where I just mix whatever the fuck I want these days. Techno, Electro, Breaks, Tech funk, Dubstep you name it. Sometimes I call the sound "Warble Techno", looking to produce some of the stuff so I can pinpoint the sound.
5. Burning Man - Camp IGS - This was just one of the most random sets ever. I had some friends who were supposed to play this gig out at Burning Man out on the Esplanade. I got there, didn't know anyone, introduced myself, they were like oh sure rock it man, gave me free will on the decks. It was a freezing night so the crowds were smaller but the moment was there. I'm not one who parties their ass off out at Burning Man, I'm pretty conservative when it comes to getting fucked up especially while playing but the stars aligned that night. People were coming up while I was playing and dropping beans and m*#hrooms on the decks all night long. IGS camp kept my full sized water glass filled with Gin and Juice who knows how many of those i drank but most likely 10+ and I ended up playing a 5-6 hour set it was intense! Here's what really made it special. During my set this guy comes up and says, "hey man mind if plug in they told me I could play with you, but it was up to you". I was pretty apprehensive about the whole thing especially because I was playing some pretty bangin techno and what was this guy going to plug in? A mic cord that lead to his Harmonica! I reluctantly agreed. I think me and that guy played for like 2 hours straight. He was older frumpy looking dude but boy could he jam. He ran his harmonica through an effects processor on his belt then into the mixer and he knew how to play. It was amazing! who would have ever fuckin guessed. We were just playing like it was nobody's business. We kept in touch for awhile but haven't talked in sometime. Last I heard he was touring Ibiza!
Guy is phenomenal, check out some of his videos.
http://www.hyperharp.com/
Also a part of the group Astro Beat Circus:
http://www.astrobeatcircus.com/
Add that to in the morning when I was walking my tricycle back to camp around 7 or 8am, I stopped at the Porto Potties. Coming out, I ran into Wednesday and met her friend for the first time. Lacey. As dazed and confused as I was from that night we didn't talk much but later bumped into her again November and started dating immediately after. Who knew it was going to turn into a 4 year relationship? We always kind of considered Burning Man to be our anniversary, even though we didn't start dating til a few months later.
There's 5 events with 5 different exhilirating points to each. There's more there as well but those are the first that come to mind.
Fuck I feel all weird from reliving all those situations and the energy that is associated with them.
:)
Good times. Sorry for writing a book but I wanted to convey these correctly.
~Paul

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------October 28, 2008 Dear Brody / Movement Now, Please extend our thanks and appreciation to everyone involved in the Nowloween Food Drive for their participation and generous support. We are very grateful for your tremendous effort and the resulting donation of 702 pounds of food to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. This donation has a net worth of $1,186.38. Contributions from food drives like yours of high-quality food items help us feed more than 65,000 people in northern Nevada annually who are hungry, including children, the elderly and the working poor. In addition to individual donations of food, food drives conducted by concerned citizens, organizations and businesses bring in about 200,000 pounds annually of food for hungry people who depend on food from emergency food pantries. About 15 to 20 percent of all food distributed by the Food Bank is collected from food drives and donations. Food drives and donations of food items are particularly valuable to our local food pantries since contributions from national sources through the Americaʼs Second Harvest network of food banks have diminished in recent years. Many products we receive from national manufacturers are non-food items, ranging from diapers and personal care items to laundry detergent, snack foods and beverages. While these products are valuable and can be used by shelters and rehabilitation or other programs, we still must budget about $250,000 to purchase in basic food products each year to supply our agency partners, now numbering about 110 non-profit organizations and church pantries. Every pound of nutritious food that is donated helps stretch the Food Bank dollar farther. We and our agencies who receive donated food can also save money for needed expenses such as staffing and services to our clients.

TOTALLY SLAMMIN'!

Current mood: hopeful
Well shit.... I'm having a hard time coming up with words to describe what exactly all happened last weekend but I'm going to try my best here.
Last weekend was a perfect example of how this community is not about a certain person or company, but a conglomeration of people, ideas and energy. With a very limited time for promotions (2.5 weeks) the word spread like wild fire. Thanks to all that helped out with that in the community, I've never seen anything like it.
One of the main focus' of this event has always been to bring people a top notch event where you can literally be transported out of this world and forget your normal life for a few hours. Be someone else in a costume or be yourself it doesn't matter. We accept all that are positive. I think once again we proved our point.
One of the nicest compliments was hearing how when Travis T. came in and almost didn't even recognize his own club!
Nowloween was more then a party, It was more then a rave.... It was a gathering of individuals, a place where we all became united for something bigger then ourselves. I felt like there was an energy vortex spiraling up into the sky from Bliss that night. It was rediculous! I can still feel it today... resonating.
It really couldn't have happened without the help of every single person who put forth their energy. I could sit here and name names for all the thank yous that should be passed around, but the fact of the matter is... everyone who helped knows who they are. It was amazing how everyone just came together to help make this event happen. I'm still in awe.
All the DJ's were on top form. From Twitch openining to the Bing Bongs closing, to the special late, late, afterhours set by Travis T. and Mephisto Odyssey. An amazing journey from start to finish. I couldn't have imagined the flow and the music to go better together. Thank you to all the DJs for taking their time to give us the sound track to such a wonderful night.
Thank you to Travis T, James Graciano and the wonderful staff at Bliss for working with us on this event especially given the short amount of time we had to prepare.
One last thing, big thanks to Serch. Without him this event really wouldn't have been possible. At one point I really just didn't see this event happening this year as much as I wanted it to, it seemed like the cards were stacked against it. He pushed me to do it and not care how big or small it was, just to make sure that it happened.
On a side note it:
Carlos the Roach returning home 1.5 weeks before the event was a clear sign that this event was going to be something special. After being "borrowed" at Nowloween 2 he was found in a basement bar in Midtown Sacramento a few weeks shy of 2 years. That night he came home and was assigned a special body guard staff to make sure that he wouldn't be leaving us again. Though we are still looking for his long lost brother. Rumor has it that Kayleigh might know where he is at. Maybe they will be reunited for Nowloween 5.
Yes thats right.... Nowloween 5. We're going to take it to the next level. Mark your calendars October 24th, 2009!
I can't thank everyone enough for their support, without it this event wouldn't have been possible.
and remember...
We're Back!

We can't thank everyone enough for their hard work in helping make this event happen. Whether you were a planner or a volunteer, a dj or a promoter, a first timer or a veteran, this event wouldn't have been the same without you. This by far was the best Stilldream. It seems that every year just gets better and better.
The future looks bright. We stand awake and ready for the next Dream.
XTRA BIG thanks to everyone who volunteered their time this year we really couldn't have done it without you!!
On to planning the 9 Year!
If you have any ideas, suggestions or would like to help out please send me an email we'd love to hear from you:
