[Dynagroove] monster massive- you should all know

[Tim Brady]

I've been going to massives since 96 and have been to at least 5 or 6  
monsters massives, have come early and late, but never waited 3 hours  
to get in. Usually I get in faster to the massives than the smaller  
parties and find security has been fairly quick minus the cavity  
search.  We even got in quickly to nocturnal 98 when they oversold the  
party and the cops started to spray tear gas into the crowd! Luckily  
we were waiting at the VIP gate and the security gaurds ran to  
help,about 30 guys forced down the gate and we all made a mad dash to  
the party! I remember security gaurds tackling guys and me hurtiling  
over them in my rediculous large kik wear:) those were the days! One  
of the best parties too System 7 killed it...I always felt a good  
local DJ outside in the line was a great idea especially for all the  
kids that ate their bombs in the car before they left to come in...
