<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just in case you were all wonderin' where
NO-I-TU-LOVE has been this past few months (practically this whole past year,
huh!?)...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We've been hibernating... reflecting on what the
next step is... allowing God to come in and take over...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Heh... seriously... it's been a crazy year, as I
think you all know. Many of us have gone through lay-off's this year... in
lieu of all the craziness going on lately in the world, some of us more than
once... I know that a lot of people who are in the tech industry, who are
also into our whole dance and love community, have taken some hits... it's been
a very interesting and challenging time for all of us.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, where does that leave us now?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well... hopefully, stronger in a lot of ways... I
mean a lesson learned is a mistake not repeated, right?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it's important that we all really absorb
what's been going on in our lives, reflect apon those experiences, and learn
from them. I mean, we >ARE< definitely a celebratory type of crowd,
a real lot of party animals, so to speak, but it's good to give ourselves some
downtime, too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it's also important to allow our minds to
relax a little, too, because God has a plan for each and every one of us, and
it's nice to know that regardless of our circumstances, that everything always
seems to work out just the way it's supposed to and that we're never any
challenge in life that we're not capable of handling as long as we realize that,
in the end, we're not really the one's handle it...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is kind of funny... because I had literally
just planned on this being a quick plug for New Year's Eve, but it seems like
every time I want to do that, I end up writing all this stuff... I love it,
though... this whole community has definitely inspired me over the years...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And not to be *THAT GUY*, but it's worth
mentioning... we've been putting on parties since 1993 (some of you may remember
the parties we used to do under than "Next Step" nomicker... maybe some of you
remember Simple (1996), the first >AND< last all night party to ever be
held at the Discovery Zone (for kids)... hahah... it's funny now, but we rented
this place as an "all night sleepover" and brought in 3 different sound systems
and about a thousand of our closest friends... they were pulling out condoms,
candy, and all sorts of other unidentifiable objects from the little plastic
playballs thing that the kids play in well until the next day... pretty much
everybody got fired from that store and we were told that not one Discovery Zone
in the entire country is now allowed to do the "sleep over" concept
anymore. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, while that's not exactly what I'd call *funny*
at the time, because there was *NOTHING* funny about that experience... having
to clean up the place before some kids birthday party that was coming in at 10am
the next day... CAN YOU IMAGINE?! It was completely psychotic...
but THAT was a fucking party! We had people drinking excessive
amounts of this blue slurpee stuff and literally projectile vomiting blue juice
(for lack of a better word) all over the bathrooms. That shit was
DISGUSTING!!! But... still a fun night, in lieu of all of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And then, NO-I-TU-LOVE... the EGO LOSS - LOOSE YOUR
SHIT - ENERGY RELEASE - UNIVERSALLY INSPIRED - DISCOFIEDFREAKFUNK -
EXTRAVAGANZA... well... that's been fun, too...
;-) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And all of this is still fun... I'm not
even sure how that's possible... but it is... there's always an idea for the
next party that's been sitting in the back of our heads somewhere that's
begging for it's chance to be 'the one'... kind of like a factory of clubs yet
to be made begging to get their chance to show you how they can make you shake
it harder than the last.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, without further adieu... I would like to
mention at some point, THE point of this whole rambling...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We're having our <STRONG>FIFTH </STRONG>(that's
right, FIFTH!) annual <STRONG>"FRESH START"</STRONG> <STRONG>New Year's Eve
extravaganza</STRONG>... all of your favorite heads will (of course) be there...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This year we're bringing it all full circle and
back to basics, yet better than ever before, based upon previous learned
experience... libations flowing all night... HEAPS OF FUN... and it's an all
night disco boogie, come ready to burn right through the bottom of your
shoes!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope you've got your New Year's best picked out
and ready to go... because we're ready to do this!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>More info will be flowin' very
soon...</FONT> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, as always, we'll be sending out invitations
via snail mail and email, but if you're not any either of those lists and you'd
like to get a physical invitation, you're more than welcome to email me with
your mailing invitation and we'll get something out to you.</FONT></DIV>
