4 cans of beer for refreshments with a couple of spliffs to tide you over betweeen 9:00pm & 12:00ish until you go for the last bus, walking down the road towards the bus terminus at midnight full of life & just now ready to go out. The anticipation rising in you as you are sitting on the bus waiting for it to pull out getting another spliff together or two between three or four of ya's.
Bus pulls out & you are the only ones on it, reason being you are on your way into the city where as everyone else that hasnt discovered the Rave & Ecstasy are already mid way or at an end to their night (what a waste of time you feel).
Travelling down through rathmines & the butterflys are doing overtime in your stomach as you are half way into town & you know it wont be more than a half hour until you are there as you watch all the garglers fall around rathmines stuffing kebabs into them.
Time to swallow a dove we reckons:pac:
Just passing over portobello bridge & one dove chewed with that extremely bitter taste that you would be disgusted with if it was any food you put in your mouth is telling you the Doves are good:cool:
Passing by the old haunt (the OLYMPIC) you never thought you would ever find anything in the world that could compare to but now glance up plesants street at the Queue & say to yourself (your wasting your time, the ASYLUM is where its at). Same as you pass SIDES which you only frequented & couple of times after the OLYMPIC until you heard about the ASYLUM.
Hop off at Trinity about 10-15 mins later & that walk across O'Connell bridge! Only slighty feeling any effects of the dove but beginning to come up you float across the bridge like a homing instinct has just been triggered in you, then you turn the corner to see how many people are outside & hear the bassline:D Holy sh.it - here we go:)
You approach the bouncer gerry you were given the heads up to from the first time you were there, He will let 4 of you in the emergency doors straight into the Skag room (second floor at ground level) for £30 which is a little less each than the tenner a head they are looking.
He pulls up the shutters & bang:eek:, the heat, the humidity, the smell of hash, Olbas oil, vicks & the pounding bassline & beat!!!!!
OH FUC.KIN YE!!!!
Down the lenght of the skag room with your jacket being taken off as you walk, heads everywhere absolutley mad out of it, temperature soaring you walk down the back stairs to put yer jacket in in the cloakroom at the end of the hall behind the DJ box, you can feel the coolness almost outside the emergency door onto middle abbey street & you just want to get your jacket in as you look back down the short hallway to the entrance to the bottom floor where its banging out proper pounding tracks.
Jacket in & straight into the strobes, lasers, smoke machine & 8 foot speakers at your back, the dove is almost if not fully up now & you do a quick walk around the bottom floor to check the place out, just hitting after 1:00am & the place is fuc.king rocking to some seriously good hard trance.
Fully up on the dove & loving the tunes sure time to do another one to overlap the first. Man the feeling hitting you as you stand up the front with the tunes pulsating out of the huge speakers, the bassline complimenting every beat & surging the ecstasy up through your very being, Ecstasy, the very meaning of the word is being experienced right now, then a break in the music, you dont know the name of the tune but you find out later in the week its called 'Two full moons & a trout' , the break send a wave of adrenaling rising up in the entire crowd, the lack of motion in your body allows you really feel how the Doves are taking effect, but that break/build up is absolutley unbeleivable!! You feel every octave of the girls voice as it resonates around the Rave producing adrenalin in your body as the build seems to last an eternity.
All around you the crowd are jumping, hopping, shouting with enthusiasm for the beat & that bassline to tear into the place again, slowly it builds & builds until eventually it is literally unleashed on the place & the whole Rave erupts!!!!!
This is why it was given the title Rave music, the uncontrollable energy, ecstasy, joy, life created by the combination of it all coming together is profound to say the least, this is something that touches your very being with Joy & elevates you to a place that is not attainable in everyday existence.
6 hours of this amazing feeling & its hitting 7:00am & the doors to the outside world are open on the second floor, no way you are leaving until the very last tune has stopped as this is the ASYLUM (A safe sanctuary for the insane), far from feeling insane you feel like this is a new discovery that will stay with you forever.
Eventually long after the music has stopped you do have to leave the place 8:00am or after & out onto sackville place sunday morning, line of Taxi's outside as this is the only place open with about 1000 people in it & back to greenhills to flake with a few spliffs & wait for the offo to open.
Cant forget that feeling when 'Two full moons & a trout' built up to unleash the Ecstasy on the place a few hours before & now just time to wind down until the coming week of work & nothing but thoughts of the ASYLUM on your mind for the entirety of it.
I truly beleive that experiences such as this have only occured twice in the history of music, the genuine feeling of love & unity at woodstock shaped a generation that had knock on effects for the entire world as in terms of how we have evolved mentally with our perceptions of each other. The experience that was generated in the rave i have described i would argue just eclipsed woodstock & was the most profound influence on how any generation has ever chaged their view of the world & each other for the better. I certainly have become the person i am because of it a feel it was without doubt the most positive influence in my life to make me the person i am.
Peace, Love, Unity, Harmony, Respect to you all.

Two stories come to mind about bouncers.
I was in the Ormond one night for 4th Dimension. Only in the place 10 minutes and I went to the toilet when a load of bouncers kicked in the toilet door of a cubicle and some poor bloke was rolling a j sitting down on the jacks (lid was closed). He was dragged out like an animal. With that he dropped hash on the ground outside the toilet as he was being pulled out. Naturally I said mmmmmmmm to myself. I picked up enough for two joints and asked two people for skins to wrap the stuff in and with that four bouncers took me outside, they must have thought I was dealing or something. One on each arm and one on each leg. Well they threw me up into the air and I landed on my back on the kirb right outside the front door, where it was wet and manky dirty and I was mad out of it and my mates were inside. I thought at first they done real damage to me. This was in front of about 50 people. The b@stards, they were actually bragging about the ammount of people they threw out that night. When I went back for my jacket later at closing time I was ran from the place and threatened by them. Never got the jacket either.
Another one was when I was in the Q for the Temple Theatre when it was only open a wet day and the bouncers were having a bit of banter with people in the Q. They asked who used to go to the Asylum and to put your hand up .
There was about 30/40 people in the Q and about half of these and I naively put our hands up. "Right, you'se are'nt gettin in here", was the response from the bouncers. Thats a fact. And half the Q trickled away straight into a Garda search in front of the Temple. That was enough to turn me off that place. I would never class the Temple as one of Dublins original Dance Clubs.
I cannot remember for sure maybe someone who reads this can confirm but I think one of the bouncers was the small baldy git with the pony tail that was on the door of the Olympic, he was a smart arse.
I am sure these stories are mild compared to others but just thought I'd throw a couple out.
3 nights come to mind. 1 night I went into the jacks in the Ormonde to remove my pills from my socks and bomb one. As I was leaving, I stopped to tie my laces and a bouncer walked in and grabbed a hold of me. He was dragging me out for a search and I managed to get my last pill out of my pocket and drop it. This was on the steep slope down to the jacks. Brought somewhere, searched found nothing so let back in to get on with my night. Straight away ran to where I dropped my dove. Lo and behold there she was. you could almost hear the religious tune "hallelujah" playing in the background., Picked her up, stuck her back in the pocket. Dropped it an hour later and had a grand oul night
Another night, NYE in fact, the baldy tosser of a bar manager caught me with pills and marched me up the steps. Brought me over to Brian who would've been the head bouncer and who I get on with great. The bar manager left us, Brian stood there pills in hand. Looked at me, called me a f'n eejit and slapped me hand. I opened up me hand and there were me 2 pills. Go back down but keep out of my way for the rest of the night he said
Another night I was caught with enough for a spliff and f'ked out, no questions asked. Just turfed out the door.:mad:0 -
