Stanley: Okay fiends, you know the score. Don't look us up in the phone book, don't try the Internet People Finder, and for chrissakes, if Mr. Kincaid answers the phone, don't say anything about our eBay auctions!
Jonah: Look, dude, I'm not having this shit much longer! This girl is totally fucking with us!
Stanley: Would you chill? Keep your eye on the sparrow, and keep it together. C'mon, Kit, you can do it. K-I-T. Repeat after me.
Jonah: I'm saying, she's laughing at us! We're over here busting our humps trying to rob this place of all its best movies, providing untold deals to the video-hungry on-line masses, and she's straight selling worthless pieces of paper for real milk money!
Stanley: Samantha's a raver, right? What do you want her to sell? Her used pacifier collection? I'm starting to think she knows what's up. Say what you will, but the loochies is a-flowing.
Jonah: Yeah, well I haven't yet begun to get this war going. Kincaid's spent years stocking this place with crazy rare shit of all stripes, and with the right tools, I can have it dismantled and sold in a week.
Stanley: How you gonna do that?
Jonah: Procure a phat sack for Bill and Ted, to start, and lock 'em in the back here some weeknight when I'm on duty out front. Slide one match under the door for every video they manage to list.
Stanley: That's some stoner Survivor shit. You're crazy.
Jonah: No, man, I'm gonna sell this idea to Endemol, the company that's making mad cash off all these programs - Big Brother, The Mole, Who Wants To Live Up My Ass, etc. They got new ones coming out - one totally like the Running Man, swear to God. It's called "Tracker," or something like that. Good 'ol boys from coast to coast able to get in on the action helping ex-cops and bounty hunters chase down poor slobs who volunteer as contestants, to win dough.
Stanley: Talk about some fascist shit. How long before the "volunteers" start getting picked off some death row somewhere, and the contestants become the bounty hunters, who only win once they've shot to kill. Man, this country's going to hell.
Jonah: They need to make up something simple, like, that requires no skill. Maybe they could have mugs opening up briefcases full of different amounts of money, sight unseen, or something. Gambling each one contains more than the last. Y'know, a blatant remake of Let's Make A Deal.
Stanley: I'm sure at some point it would be the biggest thing in TV land...for about six months, until the next mindless craze comes along.
(Sam enters the break room)
Sam: Okay, guys, time's up. Have you confused my bidders enough? We wouldn't want 'em to think we were actually selling rave flyers, or anything.
Jonah: Lemme see some of these. This one's got some horny penguins on it.
Sam: Icey's Wonderland, from 1996. A party with DJ Icey, one of Baby Anne's first appearances, and Andy Hughes. It was a CD release party for one of Icey's first full-length CD's.
Stanley: Or this one, with Mork's egg about to land on some alien landscape. Is that supposed to be Ork?
Sam: You mean the flyer from the very first Beyond, this super-cool series of massive parties they've been throwing in North Carolina since 1996. It all started with this flyer and an awesome lineup featuring Rabbit In The Moon, Keoki, Feelgood, and Scott Hardkiss. For the first few years, Beyonds were held in an awesome venue that used to be a federal courthouse, with catacombs you could explore in the basement where prisoners were once kept in holding cells!
Jonah: What's up with this one, Sam, is it a sheet I could put on my bed? It's so big!
Sam: The exact dimensions are 13" X 32", for a three-day festival, and yeah, that's a big damn flyer. Global 2000. It's also infamous, because it was the joke of summer 2000! Huge fiasco of a party that went down in SC, promoted by chumps who weren't even from there and were so cheap they used to sell their own glowsticks at the parties they threw. Telltale sign of uncontrollable greed.
Stanley: What happened?
Sam: They billed Global 2000 as the largest party ever to hit the East Coast, claiming names were gonna be there like Anthony Pappa, Adam Freeland, Noel Sanger, all three Hardkiss Brothers, Nigel Richards, The Light, Skylab 2000, Simply Jeff, Dave Trance, Craze, Slacker, Dieselboy, I could go on and on. Instead it became the biggest rave scam ever attempted in the Southeast. Kicked out of one festival grounds after another after they tried to pull the wool over local cops' eyes about how many people they were expecting, never making proper security or EMT arrangements, etc. It moved from NC to two separate locations in SC before finally ending up with a lineup of all locals at a strip club in Myrtle Beach in front of 500 suckers who had paid $50 for tickets.
Jonah: Can you say, huh?
Sam: But the biggest flyer in this lot, area-wise, is from Cosmic Era's Waterfront Music Festival, held in Brooklyn, NY in July 1999. This is what's known as a four page - it unfolds to poster size, 18" X 24", and there's an awesome tripped-out hallucinogenic design in the background! And my favorite graphics are on this one, from another party in 1999 that Pleazure threw in Atlanta, GA, called The Final Stop Along The Pathway To Enlightenment, with Roger Sanchez, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, and Craze vs. Infamous.
Stanley: Nice.
Sam: The cover's got a partygirl dancing, printed in silver ink, and it says "Live, Love, Learn, Grow Together." Then it opens up and you see this fantastic futuristic city suspended in the clouds!
Stanley: Look, girl, no matter what jealous over here sez, I dig what you're doing. These flyers are alright. I like this one, with the half-naked chick riding the rocket, about to get swallowed up by Godzilla, who's holding a huge martini glass. Now that's class! Where’s this from, New Orleans?
Sam: Yeah, you'd like this one, too, from the Freebass Society, it's the pre-flyer for their Psychedelic Pimp-Daddy Land Freakfest 2000 party.
Stanley: Word!
Jonah: Couldn't they get more original than this? Here's a total bite off Nirvana's album cover.
Sam: You dingy, that's Atlantis, a super-rare flyer from like, '92 or '93, with Lenny Dee, Onionz, Micro and Osheen. Look on the back, this one went down in Rhode Island, at some yacht club or YMCA. It says, "Beyond the volcanic dance floors, the Aquadome, a multi-image light show and heated pool, caverns of chill chambers, saunas, hot tubs, & steam rooms."
Jonah: Sounds like a great 70's porno!
Sam: Go now, guys. C-ya! Okay peeps, big ups going out once again to all those who bid on my flyers! Yay! To show my thanx, I've got yet another, totally different flyer lot for ya, this one even rarer than my first two! Check out this teaser from Raveland, one of the first massives, from 1993. Or these several different flyers from Buzzlife and Freebass Society parties, who between them have put on some of the best events D.C. & New Orleans have ever seen! Don't forget the 1996 flyer from the very first Beyond, the longest running massive between Atlanta and D.C., they're up to Beyond 12 now, and I threw that one in too! There's 70 total here, and they're from as far back as 1993, some might actually be from '92. That's like, almost at the dawn of the US rave scene! To keep things straight, this is Lot "C" of my flyers. The first two I've auctioned off to date were Lots "A" and "B," which you don't even have to worry about unless you were previously high bidder on a lot, want to bid again, and want to make sure you're not bidding on any duplicate flyers. I know you'll enjoy these flyers as much as I have. 70 flyers, all different, all of them super-cool and crazy collectible. So start bidding! Peace!
