Hello Party People!!!! *:0)

We at UMR created a monster of an event. You added to the beauty and love of it, by your patience in the queue, your love for each other and your kind words since, and for that we thank you!

There are many people who helped create PLUR, and a thanks as big as the one you are about to recieve is well and truely deserved.

Firstly to the people of the UMR-Party List, who jointly flyered, stickered and generally promoted this event to the ends of the earth:
Alex Buell - For his advice on the night name and stickering and buying a ticket! "Look out for a four-eyed dork with a dodgy haircut and a UMR T-shirt!"
Tuna - For stickers and flyering
Andy Harkin from Sleepless -"I forgot, most people aren't as tolerant as I am." So thanks for being tolerant!
Andy P - Thanks for sorting the upfront Drome cash, and for forwarding on mails when it went wrong.
Barclay Lane - For the Psy-Trance Room,
Bart - For his continued efforts with flyering, no one does it like he does.
Been Pole - For his car!

Susan Humphrey - For the door rostas, the rig in the Trance room and for posting this gem about Stelvio. "I don't fuckin' play techno and I don't fuckin' like techno." :) Made me laugh. Thanks Stelvio.

Tristan White - For his shirt, and his work in the cybercafe and organising the meetings rostas.
*Ting* from Poleshift - For bouncing around the queue giving out party poppers, and for her set, for being event manager, for sorting out the passes, and for being the fittest bird around. Dare you to say otherwise!... *;0)

Then of course there are the 200 or so people who put the party together on the night itself. Each room was a journey into that part of wonderland and no red pill on this earth could recreate the emotions and feelings that you got when you walked into each and every arch way in the Drome that night. Even the gods were pleased, you could tell, they were the ones having it large. Oh yeah that's all of us isn't it!!! *vbg*

More thanks go out to Amin, who put together and held it together there in the chill out room, lost we were, found us did Amin. Mmm yes. Arranged the tea he did, yes..... :) Good call, them stalls. To the stall holders themselves and that lovely guy who gave me free tea at the end. :)
To the collective of dancers - Zoe, Debbie, Claire, Sarah, etc.. To the stilt walkers, puppeteers, dj's, artists, and bands. to the decor stars - Mashed Up, Aura Orange, Inna?State etc... my god did it look good., to the Sound system crews - Chimera, Undertow, Junction 10, etc.., + Chad, what a fucking noise you created in HH. Geeez! :) Big thanks though to Johnny Void, who let the HH room be what it was meant to be and not letting his own pride get in the way.. what a lad!!

To the Drome crew and security staff who although made us wait and tried to rip us off, at the end of the day, it still all happened and that's the second time it has for me at the Drome and you gotta admit, the venue is wicked!

To Databac for providing the crew passes, which everyone will be keeping. To Julz especially for the very large quantity of soft furnishings, and fluro shite in the chillout room.
To the boys who created the cybercafe - Richard, Andy, Steven, John, Chris, Tristan, Andre, etc.. I'm still impressed that that ever got off the ground, and you really made it happen through one tiny 56k modem. Hats off!

Very Special thanks to those that still worked for a portion of the night even though they had bought tickets!!! Caz, Steve, Judith, Steve Evans,, + countless others, you really didn't have to, but we're bloody glad you did! To the clean up crew, the rig up crew, To Phil J and all the others that may have dared to do/be something different. To the Sportal crew for buying nearly 80 tickets alone!

To all the rest of the rigs, crews, single enterties and energies that I may have missed. I'm sorry if I did, but please be assured that we are truely grateful to you all. BIG HUGS AND KISSES!!!

And lastly to my mum and dad, and everyone elses parents for accepting us for who we are and who we want to be and to 1988 when it all kicked off, I can only hope that this new bread of internet ravers can help to co-create 10,000 person raves (and the rest) which will surpase those of the good ol' days.

BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you at the next one, 'aving it, 'aving it, 'aving it, LARGE!!! Yes Mate!

Love and Light
