NEXT OFFENSIVE SOUND STAGE
:::TEKNIVAL:::JULY 11-13, 2003:::
Absoloutely wicked party... Respect to all the soundstages that came together to make this party happen, at times it was less of a party and more of an adventure...
To everyone who was there, thank you for contributing to such a fantastic vibe. Thank you for being so responsible with the way you partied and for cleaning up after yourselves.
Just to let everyone know, the park officials came by on monday morning just to check that we had cleaned the place up and had nothing but good things to say about how responsible and organized this party was. They also said that we are welcome back to use the crown land any time we like! All the DJs spun quality music and kept the party kicking the whole weekend. Special thanks from the Next Offensive sound system goes out to all the DJs who trekked through the wilderness to spin at our stage (especially MC Stylez from Washington who walked for 3 1/2 hours along the forest access road because his ride couldn't make it down the bumpy path)
To those of you who missed this party: you should be kicking yourselves. Just look @ the pictures.
Hope to see everyone back (and more) next year...and way to MaKe SOme fUcKInG noISe!!
