I love Hornfans more than I love my luggage, so im going to not go into bad stuff concerning illegal drug use, though it will be tough. Here are mine...
Some house over by the old Pharmaco between Manor and 32nd street. Im not sure the exact year, but I would have to say around 97'-99'. I remember they had this big tall pole in the backyard and there were xmas lights hanging from it so it looked like a circus tent. Bands played and there was a trampoline in a neighbor's yard that I was doing back flips on.
Pearl Street Coop in the Spring of 92'. Joe Rockhead played, and I didnt even really like them, but I remember they were jamming some song and I was standing about 150 feet from the stage. The singer was looking right at me and singing to me, or at least I thought he was, and I was seeing all these colors and shapes. We were rolling cue balls from the pool table down those long hallways and it was pitch black so we couldn't see the end. I rolled one really hard and it seemed like 5 minutes later it would hit the wall.
Rio House apartments, 1993. I loved this party so much I moved into the complex not long afterwards. There were these things called mini-thins that were over the counter effedrin (sp) and everyone had taken a bunch of them. It was weird because I couldn't pee from them. Once I moved there we would have parties for absolutely no reason. My band Powersquid played one and the music got shut down, but we did play this 14 minute song before it got busted. Great, great time.
The Chaos party. It was in some apartment around 25th and San Gabriel. Everyone chipped in 3 bucks a piece and these dudes rolled a bunch of cigarette thingys and at the count of 3, we all yelled "CHAOS" and the entire party lit them. It was crazy getting all these cigarettes passed to you by 4-8 people.
Crash Worship in a field out in Dripping Springs around 94'. It was sort of like a burning man type thing and you had to pay to get in, but it wasnt so much a show or a festival. Quintron the Amazing Spellcaster opened up and Crash Worship didnt start playing until about 3:30 am. Right when they started, it began to rain so hard it was like a monsoon. They played until the sun came up.
There were so many awesome parties... Austin is a great town for a zillion reasons, but in the 90's, the parties were unbelievable. The Deke house had great parties, empty warehouses, block parties.... every weekend there was something awesome going on. Heck, I even played at this gay bath house with the Fuckemos to celebrate the birthday of this 500 lb transvestite named Laura that used to own the Blue Flamingo. I miss those good times.
