<3

[spazmunkee]

Oh yeah, by the way.

I raved my ASS OFF (short of lights, drugs, vicks, candy ETC) and dont care what anyone thinks.

so yeah, quote it~

[triggerscold]

I had a great time!! The lighting was great, the choonz were most definately there and the vibe was right~ I especially enjoyed the animal recreation station !!!__!!! Everyone was super friendly & seemed to be having a blast. Sharkey was super cheerful, energetic, and rocked the mic & decks and was not up his own ass wich was awesome to see from such a badass~ sucked crackerjack couldn't come but the party kept on rollin. it was great to see the HHC scene suported by bringing such great uk TALENT. Thanks to everyone who supports hardcore and everyone who was there who helped make it happen! BIG ups to zodiac 9 for a very memorable show!!!

[A.J.]

Great party. Security was a bit much, they kept yelling at people all night in the smoking section instead of talking to people like humans. But thats just the way motor is.

Moving on:

Everyone spinning was killing it last night.

Remember when certain people in the seattle scene said Seattle kids don't like hardcore? Oh how things have changed...

[Stereo Heathen]

Basically. Awesome.
I danced until I could no more.
So amazing, so worth it even with work at 6am.

[Raichu]

wow i had a preeetttyy great time haha. i convinced a few people it was my first rave...so if that was you...haha sorry XD


anyways, it was fun though! i like one room parties at motor a LOT. especially when its HARDCORE :D
bummer abolut crackerjack, but good job on replacing him with 2 of seattles hardcore bad boys! :)

muchee did so awesome! happy birthday! ^__^
i especially liked his remixes of "time of my life" and "day n night"
:D we need to book muchee WAY more!!! his hardcore production is the shit!

ian k and sharkey's sets are what killed me though. just too much rocking out to the hardcore and now my body hates me XD

anyways, i had a great time and ill be posting the pics i took within a few days on my flicker:

www.flickr.com/pickles1987 keep checking this thread for updates

[Stereo Heathen]

Any pictures of me? (Suspenders and pink glowsticks ;] )

[Catalysto]

I dont even know where to begin,

Hearing the bad news that Crackerjack did make me bummed a little, but immediatly i got on the floor and Muchee was dropping hot tracks one right after the other, especially that remix of Day n Night.

Big Ups to heavyweight and ritalin for replacing crackerjack, shit was bangin.

Ian K w/ Sharkey over top was fucking incredible and then of course.. the infamous SHARKEY.

Sharkey would not let me stop dancing, he kept going and going, w/ Here We Go, Todays The Day, (Posse) I Need You on The Floor, etc, i fucking loved it

Everything about this show was awesome,

please dont forget, SEATTLE LOVES HARDCORE.

P.S.
Hope the guy that passed out is good to go

PLUR

Another Amazing Show by TJ my review is going to be blunt...


AMAZING!!!!!

everything was epic... even though Crackerjack Couldn't make it.

That party just kept getting better and better

oh and YOUR WELCOME BOBBY!!!

[envy]

will keep this short and sweet!

Lovely party, great vibes, great people! Had a fun time taking photos, all the sets were spot on, the dancefloor never looked bored! My friends and I left about a half hour after Dummy started, but everyone, ALL THE DJs were spot-on last night. The Seattle community fuckin LOVES hardcore, we need more parties like this!

TJ you did a great job, I already told ya but it's the truth!

Happy 21st birthday to Muchee, I didn't see you much after your set but I know you had a great birthday, hope your hangover isn't too bad!

My photos will be up on TiggerLovesYou soon, and my Flickr (flickr.com/photos/lesamoureux) even sooner!

[dj heavyweight]

tj, thank you so much for allowing myself and bobby at play at your party. I had a great time playing and the crowd was HAVING it. much love and respect to zodiac 9!

great party. great vibe. sharkey is a great mc....i dont get too much into free form but i was feelin about 50% of his set. it was truly a moment in history to have sharkey in seattle. and you made it happen tj!
respect

[nekomonster]

I love going to parties, and I absolutely love having a hand in production... But this was one of the best experiences I have had as a VJ. I have a lot of respect for TJ and Zodiac 9, and I had a VERY good experience working on/at the show. Thanks to everyone who gave a hand with the hauling of the gear, especially Kat and Domino. Haha, you guys made my night MUCH easier and I'm extremely appreciative! I was incredibly excited about the 1 room setup. I think the 3 projectors and 1 LCD screen setup was a great idea!! Go TJ GO! It makes the wheels in my head go round and round! WEEEEEE! Er, anyway, back to the matter at hand... The talent was ON TOP OF IT last night! While I was dissappointed that Crackerjack wasn unable to make it, I must admit that I LOVED Mark and Bobby's set! The boys brought it!!!!!! Ian dropped some fantastic new tracks and had great energy, as always. Sharkey, as an MC and as a DJ, was just amazing. It made me happy to see a headliner that plays music I'm in to! Dummy was great, although by the time he got up to play I was feeling a little burnt out from so much awesome hardcore lol. X_X Bouncy had that dancefloor rocking even though it was the end of a long night of BANGING hard beats. NIIICE! The vibe was incredible and I only heard good things from patrons.

TJ, you're awesome. Motor crew, I love you. DJs, sweeeeeeeeet. Everyone else that helped out was on top of it. Ravers ROCKED THE NIGHT! Much love!

[Zodiac9]

First off, i want to say...

Thank you.

Thank you to those that came out to support our local hardcore scene

Thank you to Brian and Joe Motor for letting me use thier venue and trying something a bit new

Thank you to Sharkey for making such a historic appearance. Your talent and skills were a fresh breathe of air and will never be forgotten. I know i'm not alone in saying Seattle can't wait to have you back again soon! "Get off the floor, what are you doing?! You're at a RAVE!"

Thank you to Bobby and Mark for stepping up to the bat when Crackerjack wasn't able to be there and hitting a grand slam... I'm forever in your debt in too many ways to list.

Thank you Ashley for the mind blowing visuals and your support and enthusiasm!

Thank you to Ian K, good luck in spain and know we're supporting you and proud of your accomplishments

Thank you to Dummy for all your hard work, without you this event would not have been possible

Thank you to Muchee for rocking the opening floor and getting the party started off right. Happy birthday my friend and welcome to the 21+ world!

Thank you to Bouncy for keeping a full dance floor rockin till the moment the lights had to be turned on. Working with you is always a pleasure and Zodiac 9 is proud to have your support.

Thank you to Tap Tap and his crew of photographers and street team for every second of hard work in helping me promote this event

Thank you to Nikki Mouse and her crew for thier hard work in the Animal Mutation Station!

Thank you to Anika for coming to vend her clothing. Always a pleasure to have our own hardcore princess with us in town. Glad you could make it!

Thank you to Stay Safe Seattle for all the good things they provide to the community!

Thank you to Katelynn, Tara, Valorie, and Alex for working the front door all night like champs!

Thank you to all tthat showed up to help setup and get the doors open on time! All your help is greatly appreciated and remembered!

Thank you to each and every raver that came out last night to show support and to just have a good time! It made my heart swell to see such a large crowd of happy people just enjoying thier night and being carefree. Those smiling faces are what keeps me going.


_________________

So, to finish off... despite many setbacks and speed bumps, I am happy that the show turned out to be such a success! Everything came together after alot of hard work on everyone's part and the results were nothing short of amazing! Even with missing a headliner, multiple booths not being able to make it, and all of our decorations not showing up, this event proved that it's about the music and the vibe and not the glitz and glitter! The energy was high all night and it's a joy to be a part of it. A better show I could not have asked for. It was a night that will stay with me forever!

My sincerest apologies about missing out on Heaven'y Glo's vending, the face painters, and the kandi making center! Last minute cancelations are hard to accomodate and I hate that I was not able to provide thier services last night. Look for them to pop up at other events however! They WILL be here :)

I can't wait to see everyone at Makin Waves 2 on the Islander yacht in August and at Escape to Neverland in October to welcome in S3RL! Thank you so much to anyone that I missed in my above list. I didn't forget you! :)

Much love and respect to Seattle and it's people!

[Sativacyborgsyn]

Thank you Tj and everyone involved with throwing this party.
I had an amazing time.
the security were friendly
water was cheap only 1 dorra!
aside from my bf losing his wallet
(which we know wasnt found cuz someone tried to use his debit card at 711 and only spent 20$ like a retard)
everything went great.
I especially liked bobby and heavyweights set.
and muchee as well
and i really like the podiums for people to dance on those were super sweet
but yeah had a great time
cant wait for the next zodiac 9 party

haha, well, it was the end of the night, you were being polite, and the only thing that really bothers me is when people dance and jump up and down RIGHT NEXT to my projectors or try to sexually abuse my screens... other than that i don't care.

Remember when certain people in the seattle scene said Seattle kids don't like hardcore? Oh how things have changed...




It's kinda hard to talk to somebody when there are hundreds of people at a show with loud music and that is not counting if they have consumed anything that night or not. take the yelling with a grain of salt.

Your a great man.

[spk cerius]

Thank you everybody for the awesome rave and a great night.
To all who said the loved my back tattoo I appreciate the comments and the love for the art.
To all who I gave a light show to with my orbitals( the lights the spin really fast if you didn't know) please let me know how I did I never really had the opportunity to give light shows properly. Thanks for letting me give you all a great time if you enjoyed the lights.
Hope to see ya all next time.

Hit me up if ya know of any other hardcore raves soon.

[Raichu]

Your a great man.

:0 why thank you!

[Raichu]

Haha dang. Well that was short and heavy.

That has the kind of sound to it like something you'd say to someone if they came back from war, organized an important grassroots movement, or cured cancer.

"You are a great man"

You don't even need to say anything else, because of the enormity of the thing they did. That's why this phrase is usually only used for those occasions.

I'm sure they said that to Benjamin Franklin after he invented electricity, lol.

haha alfredo. XD

[A.J.]

It's kinda hard to talk to somebody when there are hundreds of people at a show with loud music and that is not counting if they have consumed anything that night or not. take the yelling with a grain of salt.

Well its not just that. They seemed to have a thing for touching people when its uncalled for. I think the venue's security needs to be retrained. I'm just not terribly impressed. They act like a weird hybrid between rocker security gaurds and the TSA. Pretty much the worst of both worlds.

Good show though.


Seatlte loves hardcore.

I wouldnt say that they are that bad. i mean you have to realize that they use the megaphone and yell becuase more than half the people they are talking too are high out of their minds and cant pay attention to whats going on around them. I found the security guards to be rather nice compared to In Search Of Boom.

I mean shit, when they let everyone smoke out front because of the OD kid in the back, Dana let everyone inside without searching them because it would have been too big of a hastle to line up a 150 high kids. plus they would have 86'd half the people that attend these parties lol. I would say that was a BIG kudos on security that night.

[-Forgotten-]

the big guy that guards the bar does seem kind of grumpy tho :(

[Sativacyborgsyn]

Did i mention that Tj is fucking awesome and i love him?
if not i'd just like to
re-itterate

Security was bomb, as they usually are at motor, i was sober, but i can understand the loud speaker, and they do some things to get shit done, all in all i was very happy with it, especially letting everyone smoke out front.

[BobbyRitalin]

the big guy that guards the bar does seem kind of grumpy tho :(

he isn't. he's a super nice guy. don't assume just because he looks grumpy that he is, just go and meet him, he's a super nice guy :)

[-Forgotten-]

he isn't. he's a super nice guy. don't assume just because he looks grumpy that he is, just go and meet him, he's a super nice guy :)

i know, but ill admit i was high at electric sunshine, to the point where i wasnt having fun anymore. then i started feeling better towards the end. it was at the end when i was getting my picture with bouncy that he was trying to get me out when he was kind of grumpy with me, but he could probably tell i did some things, it probably wasnt hard to tell. you were kickass tho bobby, i still had a great time regardless. think im gonna keep sober for a while tho. :)

[BobbyRitalin]

sheeeeit anyone that has to work a rave as security just wants to go home by 4am ;)

[-Forgotten-]

yeah thats true, i thought it was funny when dana yelled over the megaphone "everyone get out!, some people dont get to start partying until 4am."

i thought that was great :)

scarfs are important....

[PeaceLuvMusic]

WOW. All I can say is that was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Definitely my favorite party of the year so far. Every set was abosolutely AWESOME. I got there in time to catch most of Muchee's set, and I absolutely LOVED it!! When I heard Crackerjack wasn't going to show up, I was of course sad I'd miss his set, but I knew TJ would find an awesome solution - I was just hoping it would be Bobby or Heavyweight. I was SO happy to see them both on the decks!!!! :D Their set was phenominal, and then IAN K!!!!!!! OMG IAN K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Sharkey was SO rad!!!! I just couldn't stop dancing!!!!! And he was so fun to talk to in the bar - super cool guy!! Even though I had been dancing for hours, Dummy kept me moving even though I should've been asleep - and it was so awesome to end the night singing along to Bouncy's happy grooves with a whole crowd of smiling ravers!! :)

The vibe was absolutely fantastic - it was so great to see everyone, and holy cow, did I meet a lot of new ravers and people I've never met before!!! I don't think I've ever danced so hard in my life...THANK YOU SO MUCH TJ FOR BRINGING THE HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!! :D This party definitely lived up to what it was supposed to be - I had an absolutely excellent time!!! Can't wait for the next one!!! :)

<3's and PLURR :)

Thanks~ yeah upfront hardcore is amazing-- I always try to do new things when I write my tunes and mix it up with the latest tracks from my favorite producers during a set to keep it fresh~

And LOL WTF hahaha I don't even own a scarf-- and don't remember any of that! LOL! No more blacking out for meee! Lol !!! X_x
