 "How long did you queue for?" Seemed to be the
question of the night. In all fairness to WDO,
no-one was to blame for the security's coach
breaking down and I understand a full explanation
and apology will be given in the press. "Nuf
whining".
When I eventually got in, the vibe was already alive
and kickin' yer nuts. After being told on the flyer
about "...a record breaking 72 VL5 Vari-lights" it
was nice to find out what one was. I won't try to
describe them here, but keep looking up for them in
future, as always, a very impressive light show with
smart video mixing courtesy of Dr Devious to
complement. A few I spoke to complained that the
sound was nowhere near 100k, but who knows what 100k
really sound like?
Some bright spark had the idea of pinning a board to
the entrance to the main hall so we could tell who
was on when. Best on the night would have to be than
man Mickey Finn (again). If you stood still and
listen to what he was doing you could hear why. On
at 6am, last track well after 8.15am. Although
originally I intended an early bedtime, he offered
to fill in for Ellis Dee who hadn't managed to get
there - same coach company as the security? To say
he was sorely missed was an understatement, he had
been been put down for the final hour and as it got
closer and closer to 7am the crowd were worked to
boiling point. There I was, ripping for a piss, not
daring to head off for fear of missing somethin. I
don't know. Thanks to Mickey Finn for keeping us
going.
   "If you go down to the chill-out today, be sure of a
big surprise..." Cute. I had seen on the flyer some
thing about a meditation zone, but didn't expect the
Kirshnna's that were there, at that time of the
morning I messing my head up quite enough on my own
without any help from anyone else, thank you. Sure
the toe-bells and jos sticks were nice, but the rest
most of use didn't need. What next, The National
Front? I left wide-eyed and supposedly enlightened,
holding a free book which I could hardly refuse
seeing as how it only cost me 50p. I had to listen
to what one of them had to say and politely declined
his invitation to join him to "dance from my soul",
deciding to do it back in the main hanger. All this
and I only wanted a poxy cup of tea.
The atmosphere was such that people were dancing to
ANYTHING. Anthem twax, happy chewn, dark drum 'n'
bass, there were even some dancing to an advert for
a future event....Good to see some real dancers
allowed up on stage. Cheers Paul. Unrehearsed and
unplanned but 'avin it large rush the Bear and I
would like to thank all who went for making it a fun
night. Camber Cru - thanks to you x

World Dance Replies.....
The WDO would like to apologies to anyone involved
in the excessive queuing for the event at the Lydd
Airport on 31/07/93. This was due to the breakdown
of the security coach just outside London and
therefore Shepway district council and the Kent
County Constabulary not allowing the site to open
until their arrival. Once again we would like to
apologise for any inconvenience caused
