Fantazia Summertime - Review 5

Now bearing in mind i was only 17 at the time and the only over legal pay rave I had been to was the first Mythology.

Now just briefly I was really looking forward to Mythology but after all the hype it was quite disappointing sound, lights etc, especially after I was only used to putting a donation in a bucket at free raves £20 was a little pricey.

So me and me mates were in to minds whether to go to Summertime or not but after all the hype and good press from First taste and Second site we though we would go for it.

If I remember me and three mates drove in to Oxford Cowley road and bought tickets from Manic Hedgehog records.

In no time at all the day of Fantazia was here, me and my mates had to go and see the local pharmacist and we got some clear caps and some wizz for good measure and we hit the road. The tunes were thumping in the car and the whether was wicked for May with all the good vibes we got a little carried away with are supplies because after a while we are all nutted driving down the motorway having a wicked time saying how Fantazia was running things in the rave scene and how good it was gone be on the coast.

Now we must have been well of are heads because we had drove well to far round the roads because are driver suddenly come down with a fump and said we had driven way past Bournemouth and we were lost (gutted) .

We all had to sort are heads out and ask a service station were the hell we were and how to get back on track for Bournmouth. Ha ha.  I could tell the worker in the services was having a good laugh at us 4 nutted raves trying to find Bournemouth.

Still we were sent of in the right direction and in no time at all we were hitting a small tale back which didn't take to long to get to the site of Fantazia as it was quite late we parked up and joined a smallish queue, we could here the tunes coming from inside the arena and here the mc going for it but at this time we were quite low due to getting lost we needed a good pick me up so as soon as we was searched and let in we started looking for some E's which didn't take long and with in an hour I was proper mashed and for most of the night i was sat around the edge with eyes rolling etc I didn't see much of my mates as they were older than me and had been in to it longer they were of dancing and coming back to check on me a few times. Were I was sat I had a good view of the lasers lights and stage which was one of the best set ups I've ever seen they were not to big not to small,  perfect to create a good atmosphere.

As the sun came up I could see every one seemed to be covered in sand that was being kicked up but no one cared or even realised which made me giggle.

We stayed right to the end heard the last dj and left knowing we had experienced a wicked night, we found the car and a lot of people was talking of going to the beach.

Wicked plan so that's were we ended up all day I can remember walking round Bournemouth beach and the town thinking every one i saw was at the party the night before.

I just wish we new how lucky we were at the time with the music and the hole scene I took it for granted, I thought the dance scene would be like that for ever but no (gutted) Oh well nothing lasts for ever.
