Hey, anyone remember the morning of "ARGON ONE?"

A micro story: Winged Keys had to be 'eaten' - security warnings at the door, huge crowd for a WAREHOUSE RAVE, I think it was one of Brisbane's first. Talking 'head' at the enterence and full body check, spun people out...as that 'type' of security did not exist in 1992, got in everytihng 'melded'.........party on, lightless 'porta - loos' bad on Keys but also FUNNY, danced walked around....??????? ummmm.....went to friend's unit, had a glowing sand - witch, fell off chairs, took a taxi back o the morning of ARGON ONE again, past cemetery - ghosts rise out of graves.......and fake bodies hug taxi.........reached 'sanity' - only to hear 'mikes' being BANGED and CRUNCHED and screamed through..........danced some more..........and talked..........(at that time in 'RAVE HISTORY' persons felt 'it was like a SYDNEY RAVE.......had some easter eggs and chilled with SATAN........

a few spraci posts I found on my old hard drive. I didn't save the urls though - so will look for these ..
they seem to be from 1999

+ some html bookmarks from 1999 (& previous years)

I went to Stratus from 1987-1989 though I'm not sure of the exact opening / closing dates. we possibly even went towards the end of 1986 though I can't recall for sure. we were in grade 12 in 1987 and one of my friends had a car so we would go there Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday nights. sometimes even Thursdays. Tuesdays we'd generally catch the train in to go to Terminus in the Valley (it was opposite the train station on Brunswick St back then). looking back now the music was quite commercial as many of the songs were also in the Australian charts in the late '80s and didn't have the dark, bassy, acid sounds that I was to hear at parties later, but it was part of my progression through the clubs and music.

there's PLENTY of old dance party flyer in the photo sections of these facebook groups
