Emma: Yo, revolutionary warriors out there! I hope you know the drill by now. Don't try looking us up in the phone book. And if Mr. Kincaid answers the phone, don't say anything about our eBay auctions. Is that cool?
Sam: Listen, Emma, can you come here a sec?
Emma: Sure, Sam, what's up?
Sam: You're all wrapped up with Harold on this super-secret project of his, I just wanna know a little more about why we're raising cash.
Emma: Listen Sam, if I tell you, then I'm gonna have to tell Mark and Jonah. Once Jonah finds out, it's all over, he'd never believe what's going on, and he'd stop helping.
Sam: Oh please. He's hardly sold anything anyway. He's too busy (a) chasing that stupid Rollergirl and (b) stealing 70's porn from the store for his own private collection. You know, someone stole half the porn tapes we used to have even before those guys starting selling the movies!
Emma: I know, I think it was Stanley. Look, just trust me, okay? You'll find out soon enough, 'cuz we're really gonna need your help then.
Sam: Okay, you wanna see my latest flyer lot?
Emma: Most def! People sure dig those flyers.
Sam: Well, I've been saving them religiously for like, five years, and I traded a bunch one summer with some older ravers who started going to parties long before I did, so that's a whole decade worth of flyers! Here's a couple from 1996, Feelgood headlined one and Micro & Vicious Vic rocked the other.
Emma: Wow. There's a lot of DJ's on this flyer.
Sam: Unity was held on the summer solstice of 1999 somewhere in West Virginia. There was an outrageous lineup at that party. DJ's like Frankie Bones, Dan, Bad Boy Bill, Gavin Hardkiss, Feelgood, Dieselboy, Trace, Onionz, and the Atomic Babies.
Emma: I like this one just because it's got a four-armed goddess showing off some serious girl power.
Sam: Yeah, she's pretty fly.
Sam: Oh, Cosmic Bounce! I remember this nightmare party. Scheduled to happen in two different cities over three nights, and instead ended up being a one-night, one location, most headliners not showing up kinda deal. Yet another in a long line of infamous parties that are poorly planned, or phantom booked, or don't go off correctly for whatever reason and leave a bunch of too-trusting partykids feeling ripped off.
Emma: This one's really cool. It's shaped like a laser beam explosion.
Sam: Yeah, and see, the beam's turning the cute partykid into an alien, that one's from '95, it was called Transformation!
Emma: Oh wow, check out this chick, she's blowing bubbles. And the party's called "Blowin Up."
Sam: Look at the name of the party, it's written on necklace beads. All the DJ's names are like that, too! And this one stands up by itself, it's real unusual.
Emma: Wow. Some of these are from like, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, the UK. Check out Sam going global!
Sam: It's so weird, it's like, in some places, they've actually passed anti-raving laws, curfews, etc., and there's less parties being thrown. In other areas, it's bigger than ever, and I see more and more flyers every week!
Emma: Cops are like that, Sam. See some kids having a good time, and the first thing they do is start scheming how to shut things down.
Sam: It's just so stupid. Most ravers I know are over 21 anyway, or at least over 18. They ought to be able to make choices for themselves about how to have fun.
Emma: Wake up and smell the system, girlfriend. What's this, you got magazines in here, too?
Sam: Yeah, some of the flyers in this lot are actually 2-page ads in full-color underground magazines like Lotus, published in Los Angeles, and The People Have Spoken (TPHS), from Toronto. Then there's 3 issues of the Rave Community Flyer, a schedule of dozens of parties distributed across the Southeast.
Emma: So people get flyers, free mags, cool. Ravers need to read more, anyway!
Sam: Peeps! Mad props going out once again to all those who bid on my flyers! Yay! To show my thanx, I've got another, totally different flyer lot for ya, this one definitely rarer than my first three! There's 75 total here, and they're from as far back as 1993. To keep things straight, this is Lot "D" of my flyers. The first three I've auctioned off to date were Lots "A," "B," and "C," all of them different, 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. 75 flyers, all different, all of them mega-cool and crazy collectible. So start bidding! Peace!
