Comparing Dynagroove to How Sweet It Is is like comparing Mini Coopers  to 
Hum-V's ~ IMPOSSIBLE!!!  Anyone who intended on going to HSII should  have been 
aware that they were attending a rave.  That's what it was in  the 90's and 
that's what it is still today, a full-blown RAVE!!!    Just as in the past, HSII 
included massive crowds of intoxicated individuals,  candied-out kids, huge 
stages, ellaborate lazers and banging dj sets. Nothing  about the party has 
changed, just you the party-goers.  So, if you went  and had a bad experience, 
it's because your expectations were not  realistic.   

Perhaps with the passing of time, your memories  of the good ol rave days 
have become a little skewed or murky.  Now that  you have evolved into a more 
mature and knowledgeable House Snob, you've  chosen to forget about the fuzzy 
pants and mikey mouse gloves that hide in the  bottom of your closet.  Well let 
me remind you, since day one, my friends  at B3 put their hearts and souls into 
each and every one of their  events.  They provided wonderous environments 
where you could immerse  yourself in the music and the vibe.  They were 
responsible for bringing  you together with thousands of other passionate party-goers 
to experience  something the rest of the world would never understand.  They 
took you to  places and on journeys that were yet to be imagined.  Can anyone 
honestly  dispute that?  I didn't think so!

I attended How Sweet It Is, and  quite frankly, I enjoyed myself!  Once I got 
past the initial moment when  I felt ancient and decrepit, I was able to get 
into the spirit of the  party.  I walked through the crowd in amazement 
thinking, "Wow, there  really are still candy kids out there".  I was amused to see 
that the  ravers of the 21st century came equipped with teched- out party 
props like  blinking pacifiers and motorized light shows.  I was tickled to watch 
the  youngens "make some noise" on Donald Glaude's command.  I found joy in  
telling some newbie the rockin dj was non other than Sneak.  All in all,  the 
experiences today's ravers are seeking closely mimic those I was having  almost 
10 years ago.  In reality, it doesn't seem like so long ago that I  was one 
of those colorful kids sitting in a circle of strangers sharing my bag  of 
candy.  I know for a fact that I shared those experiences with many of  you out 
there in dynaland.  I met some of my oldest party friends in the  midst
of all
the craziness at those raves.  I wouldn't trade  that for anything in the 
world!    


I'll admit, I won't  be attending another massive for quite some time.  I too 
have moved on to  appreciate the intimacy that I find in the dark warehouse 
parties.   However, I will not turn my back on my past or condemn those who are 
still  able to enjoy the madness of the massives.  

Many thanks and much  love goes out to B3!
