We met at midnight at The Mansion but the place was fairly empty so we just hung back and discussed a battle plan for the evening as people were still turning up. One by one we each got up to energy trance dance or make our way through the crowd. It was interesting to watch the crowed. They either gave the members of the group a lot of space or came up really close. Several interesting things happened.
Some individuals relate their experiences below.
But Rick and I broke away and left everyone doing his or her stuff there at about 1.30 and headed to The Berlin Bar the hole in the wall. The atmosphere at the Berlin was better, in that it was more crowded and easier to split up and move through the crowed, upstairs and down, quietly and quickly hitting as many as possible with energy. The age of this crowd was more varied and it was easier to find the sadness and pain. These people soaked up the heart energy like a sponge and were quite content to have a total stranger stand silently beside them with their hand on their back or shoulder. Rick and I eventually met back near the main entrance as a couple of the others arrived.
