This ain't no Hakuna Matata shit...
Soo....er... the old Berkeley space is out for throwing the party.
We start walking down the fire trail and I immediately feel uncomfortable. "Um.. funny.. I don't remember it being this dark and spooky when we first threw the rave here.."
A few minutes into it and there's rustling in the bushes behind us. I mean... seriousrustling. Not "I'm an innocent little squirrel searching for berries" kind of branch cracking, bush shaking noises...
We stop, check with the flashlights, Tina sees a quick glance of something, but after investigating for a few minutes we move on, figuring it was our over-active imaginations.
But then, still right behind us, we heard it again.
And again.
"Uh... let's head back."
So we start briskly walking, hearts thumping, and then we hear it, stopping us dead in our tracks. "Stop. Listen. What. Is. That."
I listen...
..."Sounds like an airplane overhead," I offer.
"Uh. No. That's definitely not an airplane."
We wait, ears strained, blood rushing, as it grows louder and closer.
And then clear as day, there was no mistaking it, cutting through the darkness-
"That's a hyena."
At that point it was every man for himself. We sprinted back as the hyena continued to growl and howl behind us.
We made it safely back, but the three of us were seriously spooked. I mean, I've heard it on TV. I've watched enough wildlife documentaries to know how creepy they sound.... but there is nothing like hearing that a few yards from you in the pitch black woods with nobody around to send a chill down to your very bone and make your heart stop midbeat. As Adam said, "Damn... that was some straight Jurassic Park shit!"
How the hell did they not bother us when we threw our first party? AND WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE NOT BETTER POSTED SIGNS WARNING YOU OF THE COMPLEX?! We didn't even notice last time until the very next morning when we stood in front of the obscurely marked sign informing us of their presence.
I don't know.. it just seems like an accident waiting to happen to have them out there in such close proximity to humans and I certainly don't feel comfortable sending a bunch of innocent raver kids down that path.
::shudder::
Those cries are haunting.
So, uh... we have some spaces in the work though. Drop me a line and Tina or I will readd you to the planners list.
