hi people,
for me... it was one of the best nights out i've ever had, a complete revelation, like i’d discovered the perfect drug/scene for me...
happened with three friends in a techno club (complete with flouro images around the place, uv lights, people with glo-sticks, fluorescent face paint etc... very “tribal”, most people rolling).
got to the club at about 12, after pub closing. friend gave me a mitsi. i was nervous somehow, and took it bit by bit over about an hour... was afraid of having an allergic reaction or something... wasn’t at all sure what to expect. i was already into trance & techno, so was having fun anyway, but i remember i’d been dancing and nothing had happened for a half hour or so since consuming the last of the pill, so i went off to find my friends, to ask if they knew why it hadn’t hit me...
and then...
WHOOSH!... as i ran up the stairs (the club was on different levels!), i noticed these *amazing* sensations “shooting” or “rushing” through me. “g*d damn” i recall saying “that’s not bad at all. infact that’s a-mazing!”. told my friends how cool i felt, went back to the dance floor and danced my arse off. i’ve taken e 5 or 6 times since, but this was by far the most intense and special e-xperience i’ve had. it was like i’d made this amazing discovery of how much pleasure i could experience, and (naff as this may sound) entered this “special place” where everyone was so cool with each other... and bear in mind I was 100% happy with my life before this first e-xperience.
big smile on my face, was really friendly with everyone, and everyone was really friendly back, had amazing conversations, hugged people, the lights looked amazing, the chill-out room was incredible. (naff as this must sound) lots of people playing playstation, drawing stuff with crayons, cool conversations. i kept telling people how beautiful i felt and how this was my first time on e. my friends were really happy (& amused) to see me so happy.
after an hour or so, i found a friend of mine and said something like “man! i never want this to stop”, so he gave me another mitsi, which i popped whole (no more inhibitions)… the next 4+ hours were sooo awesome... i described it at the time as a continuous semi-orgasmic feeling... was dancing like a mad man, jumping around the place, trying to make everyone else fell as good and happy as i was, felt that the whole world should try e!
the dj who played the last set was fab, he kept smiling at the crowd which seemed to lift me up soooo high. one of the most memorable moments was near the very end, when he cut the bass off of the track (cruel man!), and had everyone almost on their knees begging him to bring it back, and then maybe 32 bars later when he let the bass rip “OHHH-MY-GOD!!!”... as it kicked back in... “WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM”... I thought I was in heaven with the bass exploding through my body, and when his set (and the club) finally finished at about 6 or 7 i was sooo high, screaming and begging the dj, along with a hundred other e-heads, for “ONE-MORE-CHOOON!”... hehehe
best,
sam
