Traincore

Well, here it is, Traincore. I had wanted to go to the original traincore years back, but it just didn't eventuate, and I always felt a bit of regret at that. I had been to a number of Earthcore events and always had a lot of fun, they always seemed to know how to make a party special.

Add to that the recent parties I'd been to by the Lectro crew, parties that all managed to have that element of craziness, that glitz and glamour that just made the party shine, and the friendly atmosphere that makes it feel safe to be yourself, judgement free.

So when you take an antique train, restored to all it's glory, 600 happy ravers, partygoers willing to present the right attitude, willing to leave their dull and dreary lives behind and go out of their way to have fun, you add in the Earhtcore tried-and-true party team at one end, the Lectro shenanigans at the other end, then you have yourself a party.

There's something about dancing on a train and trying to add the motion from the rails into your dancing style. Something about being on an antique train and seeing an art-deco dining car turned into a Psy trance dance floor, including lasers and light up 70's style dance floor. Something to the look of the local when 600 munted kids show up at the local pub for some insane Goa and punjab trance. Something very special about being crammed into box cars like cattle and being surrounded by smiling people as the Lectro grinds its way out of the sound system all the way back to the station.

Fucking awesome, truly one of the great parties of all time.
