...is gayyyeeeeee

I'll be going to see the movie Tuesday at 9:15. If people are interested in coming, let me know sometime before then.

i think the cops were at idj around 3

is this supposed to be a comedy?

I'm thinking of seeing "Morven Callar" sometime this week (tuesday?) at cinema du parc. since this movie is somewhat rave-related, i'm wondering if anyone wants to join me or make this a bigger gettogether. even if you dont know me, if your interested in seeing this movie then come along! here is the review from hour:

Life of the party

Director Lynne Ramsay takes Samantha Morton through the rave looking glass in the brilliant Morvern Callar

Dimitri Katadotis

RAMSAY: LISTENING TO HER INSTINCTS

You may not have heard of it yet, but there's a reason why Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar made it onto many American critics' top 10 lists in 2002. This film, which seems to come from nowhere, is like a lightning flash, confirming the arrival of a great director.

Ramsay, who hails from Scotland, first garnered attention with her 1999 debut Ratcatcher, a period piece set in Glasgow in 1973 during a garbage strike, the kids playing along a fetid canal that snakes through a council development. The film, though, was more than another dreary British kitchen-sink drama. It vividly evoked the sounds and smells of youth, crawling into the subjectivity of one little boy on the cusp of puberty. It was different, unique, in ways that were hard to calculate. Ramsay could still be described as a provincial filmmaker, but there was the suspicion - the hope? - she was onto something bigger.

Morvern Callar is bigger. With this movie, Ramsay's experiments with subjectivity have come to full, stunning fruition. She takes us way out there - or rather deep inside her main character, a small-town Scottish lass who finds her lover dead, assumes his identity and goes on a tear that takes her from the honeycomb superhotels of coastal Spain to the middle of nowhere. Morvern Callar is sociological, offering a portrait of contemporary British youth caught up in the cycle of dead-end jobs and weekend hard partying, the dole and Ecstasy binges. But it's also - to use a nearly debased term - existential, shifting with the moods of its almost pathological protagonist. It's something to see.

OOO

In person, Ramsay is plump, sexy and stylishly turned out, speaking very quickly in a thick Scottish brogue. She looks like a one-time club hopper, which she in fact is. It may be modesty, but she's still surprised by the reactions her film has solicited.

It turns out that preparation for Morvern Callar, which was adapted from a novel by Alan Warner, began before Ramsay had done Ratcatcher. "I'd been thinking about a film about a woman who's a compulsive liar for a while," she says. "Somebody over at [the production company] Film Four said I should read this book. I didn't go 'wow' when I read it. I liked the beginning of it, the character that was created and the end of it. But they asked me to try my hand at it."

Having started production on Ratcatcher at this time, Ramsay solicited the help of a director she admired, Liana Dognini, to write the script. "We didn't fight too much," she says. "It ended up being a good process; Liana is quite analytical and I'm intuitive, so it kicked my arse to get things moving."

All along, Ramsay's pointed intention was to get at how the eponymous Morvern "feels," what she was "going through." The film, you see, doesn't so much slip into the mind of the character as slip into her skin. Throughout, Morvern's motivations remain hidden, unexplained, our access to her limited to her sensorial reactions to the world around her.

Ramsay accomplishes this feat through a sophisticated syncopation of image and sound. Morvern is never without her Walkman headset, listening to a compilation tape mixed by her boyfriend as a gift before he committed suicide. The soundtrack, which runs the gamut from Aphex Twin to Ween, from The Velvet Underground to Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, is integral to the film's coloration. But Ramsay has also ingeniously played with effects, notably letting us hear what Morvern hears on her headphones only to phase out to natural sound.

"I'm really interested in film being almost three-dimensional," she says. "To me, sound is the other picture, and a lot of people ignore it. Often you're bombarded by it. In Morvern Callar, a lot of the time the sound is more important than the picture; it gets you into an atmosphere, an emotion. The music allowed me to get inside [the character]."

To carry the central role, however, Ramsay needed more than an actor - she needed a medium. Which is exactly what she found in Samantha Morton. As Morvern, Morton barely speaks, communicating directly through her rounded, moon face, her body language. It's not for nothing Woody Allen cast the Oscar nominated performer as a mute in Sweet and Lowdown - she has the incandescence of a silent-era siren.

"When I met [Morton] it was as if she had been transported from another planet and was capable of anything. She was capable of burying her boyfriend [which is literally what Morvern does].

"Samantha's a chameleon," Ramsay continues, not able to stem her enthusiasm. "You don't recognize her from movie to movie. For all the other parts I used non-professionals, but she fits in. It's not a movie star thing with her. When she's on screen she's being, not acting."

OOO

The extreme disconnect between what Morvern does and how she feels is not just a character trait. Through her, the movie explores a specific culture - that of the so-called rave generation, or rather that of the kids that are still playing out the same charade of lumpen debauchery. To Ramsay there's nothing revolutionary or new about this phenomenon. It's just kids dropping E and dancing instead of hoisting pints in the local pub. "It's about 'jobber' culture, which is really big in Britain," she says. "You get as trashed as you can and then go back to your normal job. It's not a political thing, like in the '60s when it was linked to the counterculture, it's just a 'let's have fun' sort of thing, very hedonistic."

Ramsay, though, is careful to distance Morvern Callar from the stream of rave flicks that have come out of the U.K. over the past few years. "I hate those on the whole," she says. "I spent a lot of time in the club scene when I was in my 20s taking photos. I never thought it was lots of people waving their hands in the air. I feel my film is a truer representation of what it's like being in a club - kinda on your own planet, isolated. That hasn't been captured in those other films."

To a certain extent, Morvern Callar is about one woman's disenchantment with this scene, her growing awareness of her separateness. It's in Spain that Morvern breaks away, faced with the absurdity of the mammoth tourist hotel she ends up in, which seems like a colonized version of Scotland. She's after something else, something more. Hers is almost a spiritual journey, the light of backcountry Spain becoming a sort of benediction. By the film's finale, Morvern has arrived somewhere, though it's not clear where. She truly has become someone else, pulling us, the audience, in her slipstream.

At film festivals Ramsay has been asked to do question-and-answer sessions after screenings of her movie. Though she'll oblige she doesn't like to do it. "I want people to have their headspace for 10 or 15 minutes afterward," she says. "I don't want to be yakking away telling people what to think. Film is a powerful medium and I want to create a response. By the end you should be, like, 'I need a drink.'"

strap some glowsticks across your belt and tell people if they dont change the law, you will explode yourself and cover the city in flurosecent green nuclear waste

i think that there should be both big, occasional, "event" parties as well as small, regular parties that, for me at least, are a much appreciated substitute for going to clubs

my opinion: shakespeare and rave should never, ever be uttered in the same sentence

Rave, the musical

by RAF KATIGBAK

If you've been following the news lately, you know that soon there will be very important decisions to be made, decisions that may change the world forever. I'm talking, of course, about Oscar night. Who will win best picture? What about best supporting actress? And most importantly, what will they be wearing?

Last week I had the good fortune of checking out the film with the most nominations this year, Chicago. It was dope. I mean really dope. Then suddenly it dawned on me, why doesn't someone make a Broadway musical about raves? Hollywood has already recognized the value of the rave dollar with such masterpieces as Groove and Human Traffic, so why doesn't Broadway wake up and smell the Vicks Vaporub? At home, I quickly Googled "rave musical" and clicked on the first page I saw. What I found was much more than I bargained for. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… Rave Macbeth!

Shot in Munich, this full-length feature film is touted as "Shakespeare's Macbeth goes rave" - check the trailers at [ www.2k-film.de ] Through various channels of questionable repute, I recently got my hands on a bootleg copy and watched it. If you want an idea of what this film is like, first picture your average Shakespeare play, complete with turbulent historical backdrop and clever dialogue, then take the "turbulent historical backdrop" and replace that with "rave" and replace "clever dialogue" with lines like "It had all been a bad dream. She and I had broken all the rules, the only rules - peace, love, unity and respect." Add to that the worst-acted characters of all time (e.g. the three party sluts in the role of the three witches) and you're halfway there. In the end, it was not so much a true "rave musical" as it was a bad rave movie underscored by "heavy techno and house beats" (which is too bad because I was hoping for a real heart-wrenching grand finale performance of "Goodbye Serotonin").

Although the film left me feeling sicker than last week's bag of "mystery powder" that turned out to be some kind of dried food preservative, I was left with the hope that someone, somewhere will make this rave musical dream of mine come true. Until then, let's all keep reaching for the stars - the rave stars!

Anyone else thinking about going to this?

hahahah fred that was great!!

get a second hand college textbook of some subject that doesnt interest you..

i'll garuntee that'll put you to sleep

i cant wait for this..

dammit they wouldnt honor my pass :(

actually, for former alcoholics, even one beer can restart a downward spiral

ecstasy is by no means a harmless drug

to keep things in perspective, the chance of sudden death is about 1 in 50,000

people will use drugs no matter what. by utlizing harm reduction methods (such as contained in this post) the risks can be minimized

yah seriously!!
that weekend has:
- sonar
- another dimension
- hullabaloo
- revelation

next weekend has:
- nothing

SOOO CUTE!!!

anyone else notice how its hard to click on this thread?

ITS TONIGHT!!!

sorry its such a nice flyer that i feel like posting it..

who cares about freedom when you can have freedom fries instead??

i'm downtown right now.

screw you, i like your signature: "some of u prefer illusions to despair"

its sooo true. i think when someone is confronted with a reality that they cannot handle emotionally, their brain (as a form of defence mechanism) creates an alternate version of reality that is more palpable..

i think cronenberg's new movie 'spider' explored this issue very well

An Order of Fries, Please, but Do Hold the French
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

ASHINGTON, March 11 — The French may have Champagne, Brie, croissants and even kisses. Americans, at least in the cafeterias of the House of Representatives, now have freedom fries and freedom toast.

With frustration rising in the Capitol over French opposition to President Bush's policy on Iraq, Representative Bob Ney, the Ohio Republican who is chairman of the House Administration Committee, which is responsible for House operations, ordered the word "French" stricken from all House menus. The action was unilateral. No vote was required.

"It's a symbolic gesture," said Mr. Ney, who is of French descent and speaks French fluently. "Not to slap the French around, but people are not hot on the French government right now. This is just to send a message to the troops to say that here in the Capitol, we are not happy."

But one man's symbolism can be another man's silliness. In a city where the prospect of war looms like a foreboding cloud, where lawmakers keep "go bags" packed in their offices in case of biological or chemical attack — and where Democrats and Republicans find little to agree on in any event — some in the minority party were quick to condemn Mr. Ney's action as, well, small potatoes.

"Making Congress look even sillier than it sometimes looks would not be high on my priority list," said Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts.

"There's a potential war going on. There's a lot of debate about is Congress being actively involved in foreign policy. It's bad enough not to be able to do anything, but I think self-caricature is a poor substitute for thoughtful discussion."

Of Russia, China and France, the three nations threatening to veto a United Nations resolution urging war with Iraq, France has been the most unequivocal in its opposition, which is why the French have aroused the ire of House Republicans.

"They have isolated themselves pretty well," said Representative Tom DeLay, Republican of Texas and the majority leader.

But as the great French fry debate raged in the House, Senator Robert C. Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat who has long bemoaned his colleagues' lack of serious debate on the war, took to the Senate floor. Through a spokesman, Mr. Byrd declined to comment on the French fry/freedom fry uproar. But his speech made clear he did not view a fight with the French, over fries or otherwise, as sound foreign policy.

"The day after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America, the French newspaper Le Monde proclaimed, `We are all Americans!' " he said. "Eighteen months later, the United States and France are hurling insults at each other, and the French are leading the opposition to the war against Iraq. In country after country, the United States has seen the outpouring of compassion and support that followed Sept. 11 dissolve into anger and resentment at this administration's heavy-handed attempts to railroad the world into supporting a questionable war with Iraq."

By the time Mr. Byrd delivered his speech, the lunchtime offerings on the House side of the Capitol complex had already been changed. A sign in the food court in the House Longworth Office Building — which, for the record, also serves tacos, vegetable lasagna, Greek salad and Chinese lo mein — announced: "Update: Now serving in all House office buildings. Freedom fries."

A highly unscientific survey of cafeteria patrons found opinion to be either neutral, or anti-French. "There ain't a whole lot of need for the French," said Roger Todd, an official with the Albany, Ga., chapter of the Communications Workers of America, who was in town on a lobbying trip. "I would just as soon call them freedom fries, even though I'm a Democrat."

Noting that French fries originated in Belgium, a French Embassy spokeswoman did not seem amused. "I wonder if it's worth a comment," the spokeswoman, Nathalie Loiseau, said. "Honestly. We are working these days on very, very serious issues of war and peace, life or death. We are not working on potatoes."
There is, apparently, some historical precedent for the switch, which was proposed by Representative Walter B. Jones, Republican of North Carolina. Mr. Jones, whose district includes three military bases, was inspired by Cubbie's, a restaurant in Beaufort, N.C. Neal Rowland, the owner of Cubbie's, said he began serving freedom fries after a local history teacher reminded him that during World War I, anti-German sentiment prompted Americans to begin calling sauerkraut liberty cabbage and frankfurters hot dogs.

"We bought little stickers, stuck it over French and put a couple of posters in the window," Mr. Rowland said. "Next thing you know, we were receiving phone calls from London, Ireland, Australia and all over the continental United States."

By this afternoon, some calls were being directed to Mr. Jones, who said he did not eat fries, no matter what they were called. (At 60, he is watching his cholesterol.) He did a string of interviews, two with British television. "I thanked Tony Blair on both," he said of the British prime minister, a firm ally of Mr. Bush.

While Mr. Jones said he viewed the name change as a "lighthearted gesture," some in Congress wondered what would come next.

"If China vetoes it," Mr. Frank said of the United Nations resolution, "what are we going to call Chinese checkers?"

yeah but it's a last minute party!!

alex: i just happened to notice in your profile you list concord dawn among your favorite producers...

so why get all worked up about what this who did that?? bottom line for me is that anyone who can throw parties with big name producers deserves respect. especially knowing that galaksy is involved, who puts his heart and soul into this scene

nice flyer :)

i hope those colors turn out just as bright on the printed version...i guess glossy paper would be the best but that would be expensive

nope lee that is defintely not just you :)

Based on the studies done so far, the one mental problem associated with ecstasy is depression due to serontonin depletion (which will gradually build up once the person stops taking ecstasy). That is why its best to use occasionaly, so the brain has time to restore its levels of serontonin. 5-htp, the direct precusor to serontonin, can also help reduce ecstasy depression by reducing the time it takes to restore normal serontonin levels. Ecstasy can cause lots of problems if you dont take proper precations or act stupidly (bad drug combos, use every week, etc) but it also can be used safely.

is anyone possibly considering making this the weekend after? i think you'll have better attendance that way

i got to find one of those flyers!

The subtle art of nutritional supplements.

You may not be a health food nut, but there are some very handy things on the shelf of your local granola-and-tofu store. Some supplements can reduce side effects, help the hangover, and even keep you safe.

Antioxidants

We've all seen oxidation. It's what rusts metal. It's what turns a slice of apple or banana brown if left exposed to the air. Oxidation is what's happening when laundry bleach ruins your clothes, or hydrogen peroxide lightens your hair. (Chemically, "oxidation" means electrical charge is being pulled off a molecule/atom.)

Why dose this matter to you and me? Because oxidation is also something that's constantly going on in our bodies. Virtually all of our metabolic processes produce oxidizing chemicals (like hydrogen peroxide.) As our metabolism and demands on our body go up, more of these oxidizing chemicals are produced. When we take a drug, our body's breakdown of the drug creates even more oxidative stress on our cells and tissues. (Visit Neurotoxicity for more information about this process.)

In fact, it's this process of producing oxidizing chemicals while drugs are being broken down that can cause liver damage from many drugs such as alcohol. In the case of amphetamine-type drugs (including MDMA) this has a special significance, since these drugs are drawn into your brain and broken down in there as well as in the body, which can lead to neurotoxicity (damage to brain cells) in extreme cases.

The good news is, your body knows exactly how to deal with such things. First, it has enzymes that break down these oxidizers as they are being produced. Second, your body has a lot of antioxidants floating around in it. An antioxidant is a chemical that neutralizes oxidizers (but is used up in the process.) As a result, unusual demands on your metabolism (such as smoking, drinking, or using MDMA) tend to drop the levels of antioxidants (because they use them up.)

What does this mean for you, the responsible drug user? Well, it means that taking some antioxidants before and after your drug use can help prevent damage to your cells. Sound like a good idea? You bet! Here are some popular antioxidants:

• Vitamin C: Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is found in large amounts in citrus fruits like limes, oranges, and grapefruit. Besides being an antioxidant, vitamin C is important to the immune system. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, so it mainly stays in the blood and other water-rich parts of cells like the cytoplasm.

• Vitamin E: Nutritionally important, this vitamin is also a good antioxidant. Vitamin E is lipid (fat) soluble, which allows it to penetrate deeply into fatty tissues (including the brain) and even get inside of cell walls. In one experiment, mice fed a severely vitamin E deficient diet suffered serious neurotoxicity when given a large dose of MDMA, while mice on a normal diet were unharmed!

• Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): ALA is an interesting antioxidant because it is both lipid-soluble and water-soluble, allowing it to get virtually anywhere in the body. As a downside, ALA is more irritating to the stomach than E and C, limiting the amount that can be comfortably taken. ALA may also be broken down very quickly in the body.

• Melatonin: Traditionally sold as a sleep aid, melatonin is a very effective antioxidant on a per-weight basis, but at the doses recommended (as little as 0.25 mg) would be fairly ineffective to use simply as an antioxidant. Since I don't know what the consequences of high doses (100 mg or more) would be, I don't recommend melatonin for this purpose.

• Green Tea, Grape Skin Extract, etc.: These substances have significant antioxidant properties, but are relatively unresearched.

What should I take? How much?

For antioxidants, I suggest Vitamin C and E, simply because they are generally well-tolerated, inexpensive, readily available, and fairly well researched (in the context of both general health and MDMA use.) Vitamin C and E are also two of the body's main normal antioxidants and work well together. Try 1-3 tablets/capsules of each over the course of the day before and/or the day of MDMA use. A little more the day after can't hurt either. If you don't want to be bothered with elaborate plans, a capsule each of C and E several hours before use should still be beneficial.

Is taking antioxidants necessary?

Not at all. But, it's such an easy and cheap way to help your body deal with stress and recover that it seems perverse not to.

A word on the benefits of antioxidants: There isn't a magic or 'special' antioxidant that you need. Any antioxidant at all should be helpful, and taking many different ones isn't necessarily better than taking one or two. They also aren't a cure-all. Antioxidants can give you a larger safety margin, but do not guarantee that nothing bad can happen. Take all the usual precautions (avoiding prolonged dancing in hot environments, get moderate (but not excessive) water intake, and don't mix drugs.


What the heck is 5-HTP?



5-HTP is the chemical your brain uses to make more serotonin. Since MDMA use depletes serotonin, 5-HTP is a quite useful tool for recovering after use. Taking a little 5-HTP can prevent the more notorious possible aftereffects of MDMA use, such as depression and anxiety for a day or two (which is mostly due to low serotonin levels.)

For the curious, the full biological pathway for serotonin production is:

1. The amino acid tryptophan is digested from protein in your food.

2. The tryptophan is turned in 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) by an enzyme in your brain called Tryptophan Hydroxylase.

3. The 5-HTP is converted in 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, better known as "serotonin") by another enzyme called Aromatic Amino Acid Decarboxylase.

As a practical matter, most of the tryptophan and 5-HTP are broken down by the decarboxylase enzyme long before they get to the brain, but the brain doesn't need much. So, it's Food --> Tryptophan --> 5-HTP --> serotonin. 5-HTP is particularly useful because it's the last link in the chain, making it the most effective way to enhance serotonin production with a supplement.

5-HTP has traditionally be taken as a sleep aid, natural antidepressant, and weight loss aid (all of which are the result of it's enhancement of serotonin levels.) It has become much more popular with the realization of how it could benefit MDMA users.



How should I use 5-HTP?

In the context of using MDMA, I'd suggest one capsule two hours before taking the MDMA (entirely optional), another capsule when you come down, and one a day for several days afterwards. If you feel irritable or depressed, take one more capsule as needed.

Can taking a bunch of 5-HTP before using MDMA make the high more intense/last longer?

To some extent, yes. By increasing the amount of serotonin available to be released, 5-HTP can help MDMA work. However, doing so introduces a new unknown factor. If you try this, take one or two capsules two hours before taking the MDMA. The effect isn't likely to be dramatic, but can help ensure that you get the full effect of the MDMA.

Could I get high just from taking 5-HTP?

Sort of. If being slightly cheerful and giddy for 10-15 minutes is worth a day of feeling sick (severe gas, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) One of the things that has constantly amazed me is the adventurousness of drug users: If you can think of it, somebody has probably tried it. Massive doses of 5-HTP have been tried, and the results were less than encouraging if you want to get high.

Where do you get 5-HTP?

Health food stores and drug stores/pharmacies often carry 5-HTP, or you can order some online. Mail order can be much less expensive.



Other Supplements



• Zinc: Many users report that taking zinc supplements greatly reduces the tendency to clench your teeth while on MDMA. I haven't tried it myself, but the idea really makes sense. (Zinc ions are involved in controlling nerve firing.) Zinc may also prevent the 'eye wiggles' side effect sometimes seen with MDMA, although that one doesn't seem to actually bother anybody.)

• Calcium and potassium: No known benefit, and may make jaw clenching, etc. worse. (These small metal ions promote nerve firing.)

• L-DOPA, Tyrosine, and Alanine: These are precursors to dopamine, just as tryptophan and 5-HTP are precursors to serotonin. L-DOPA is normally prescription-only, and should be considered as dangerous. Tyrosine is considerably less potent at producing dopamine, alanine is the least effective of all. Both are sometimes used to enhance the MDMA high by supporting dopamine production. I regard this practice as being of questionable safety: Dopamine appears to be the main contributor to heatstroke and death in animal overdose and neurotoxicity experiments. While the risks probably aren't terribly great, I cannot recommend this practice in the absence of further research. Besides, if you can't enjoy MDMA for what it is, perhaps it's time to give it up.

yeah Tipsy's set was the closest i'll ever get to liking cheesy hhc while sober :)

maryjane i love reading your posts...your positivity rawks!!

well to sorta answer the question...

i'd love to have a family eventually. EVENTUALLY.

Someone asked, why cant you live freely even after you've found someone you want to be together with? Well in rare cases maybe you can. But generally speaking the party/hedonistic lifestyle is all about doing whatever gives you instant gratification, and is basically self centered. Being in a longterm relationship, on the other hand, is about self imposing limits and boundaries on your own behaviour because you feel it is worth it to be with that person, which means, in a sense, giving up absolute freedom.

Spooky, I completely agree with you that every lifestyle eventually becomes routine. Unless your someone who wants to reinvent themselves constantly (which I admit is personnally tempting), then routine is inevitable.

I agree with Clown that people today are alot more concerned with self than society, or to put it another way, more concerned with whats good for them than the greater good. But at the same time, one must ask themself, is the concept of 'society' worth conforming to, or is it just an idea in one's head? Is there even such a thing as the greater good? No easy answers.

I totally know what kafwin means about wanting to experience a little of everything. but I think I've gradually coming to terms with the fact that by always wondering what else i COULD be doing at any given time, i'm forgetting to enjoy what i AM doing right now. theres an incredibly amount of things i want to be able to do in my life, whether i'll ever get the chance is another story. but the bottom line is the most i can hope for is to find a lifestyle that makes me happy and be able to sustain it.

tipsy, where ya going?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!! i'm laughing so hard i'm CRYING

out of curiousity, what exactly did mindset play?
