My experiences in Ibiza 1998.
Where to start ??? Firstly, I'm going to try and sort out some photos - so we can all remember what we look like
- just not sure when they'll be ready !Click here to check the ones I've sorted
out already ......
Right - there was the two of us that went over this year with a mission to work. Myself and young Bob Forisky.
We got there at the begining of July, which was a bit late, but was cool as we hit the ground running - all of
the clubs had opened up their doors, and the promoters were in town.
I've decided to add the best bits as they come back to me - short term memory loss - me - naaah ???!!!
The first person to flyer us for Manumission was Geordie Kev at Cala Gracio. We had a chat about jobs, and Kev
said he'd have a chat with Elliot - which he did (cheers Kev). From then on in, things were looking good for jobs
with Manumission - one of the main reasons for coming to work in Ibiza. We were soon on the Manumission Entertainments
team lead by Dorian and it was around here that all the fun started ! Every single person in the team was completely
sound, our boss was completely sound, his bosses were completely sound and their bosses were completely sound -
how many people do you know who loved their jobs as much as us ??!!! With out a doubt, I met some of the safest
people in the world through working with Manumission.
It wasn't long before Jason (the famous man in the suitcase - go on son !) asked me and Bob to move from our one
bedroom hole into Mambo Mansions. We moved in with Jason, Brian (the paranoid android) and Nicky (the sleeping
beauty !). There was no stopping the fun.
Respect - Bobski - my fellow traveller, partner in the tightest DJ'ing click around, wearer of many dresses, talker of mucho bollocks and all around good egg. We done it man - and boy was it good !!! Roll on '99 hombre !!!!
Respect - Elle for coming on a magic double dropping mission which - as far as I can remember - was a continuation of Manumission from Monday - I think we were still gurning around sometime on Wednesday afternoon, then thought about getting a bus into Ibiza town before we came up !!!!!! Hola - Bondage !
Respect - Jason for that unforgettable three day bender - Manumission, Space, Bora Bora, Moneypennies, New Star, Some Cafe, 2 litres of Vodka and Red Bull - many, many fucked up gurns and things happening - Jim, get down from there !!!! Cheers son for being cool - we had many good times - JAZZ !!!
Respect - Helen (Maidens) for being such a lovely person, always there for a chat - and always able to come up with some of the best gurns seem by man - you were on top form in Brighton the other week honey !!!
Respect - Brian the paranoid android for never failing to add a deep and meaningful insight into the hierarchy at Manumission, or Mixmag, or micro-phallic Neo Nazis's - a true cainer of the highest degree !!
Respect - Nicci 'Does my Bum look big in this' - of course it does love, it wouldn't be right if it didn't. Looking forward to our next bender - New Year's Eve ??? Si - Mucho Drogas !!!!
Respect - Zoe 'Little Bear' - one of the first people we met who went through everything with us, the lows - and THE HIGHS !! Without a doubt, you're one of the best - Love you LOADS.
Respect - Clare Bear aka Brook the Babbler. Coming up on the bridge, getting busted by undercover while still on one, the freaks come out, the magical journeys - and the good times we had at Kaoos (NOT !) - bing bang bong !!!!
Respect - Andy, Dave, West End Rob and the Junior Rush for too many funny stories and times - seeing spiderman crawling around on top of Mambo Mansions, cheers for leaving what you found at Km5 with us Rob - we took too much and started melting into the floor !!!!
Respect - Mad Kate - How I need you baby, how I need you deer. Hearts fly, but God knows, How I need you deer - we love you Kate - you are one of the greatest people alive, Ibiza would not have been half as good without you - can't wait to see you again.
Respect - Maryellen for having such a good time all the time with certain people....no names - just you and Dahlarge - more happy people in the morning ??!!
Respect - Natalie & Hannah for making working at Kaoos seem like fun - I've never met two more beautiful girls who take so much pride in their gurning powers !!!!
Respect - Rachel, you helped make my summer the best - pity shit happened - oh well, it was good while it lasted !!
Respect - Matt from Wolverhampton - how much can you cain and still be able to fall over into the sea like a professional ??? Top marks mate - I wish I had a video of that - seeing the whole of Mambo's as confused as fuck - nice one !!!
Respect - Amber for being as cool as cucumber 24 hours a day. I'll always remember the many nights outside La Quinta - Life - Oh life - Ooooh liiiife !!
Respect - Matt & Lekky for being without a doubt, not only the two most funky Trannies with Altitude in the world, but two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Keep up the good work boys. - visit their homepage - Click HERE
