I'm writing these in the wrong order because my brain doesn't work. I also may have told this story before

Hmm I spent a weekend unsupervised in Kelvedon Hatch once... you can tell it was a very long time ago as I'm wearing a cradle of filth t-shirt and look 12 (also, we're playing doom and using Winamp).

I still haven't found a sensible way of explaining that I think they're two very different things.

I look at the reports from Defcon, and the thing looks like a cross between 'Ibiza uncovered' and some form of 'Nerds gone wild' DVD. Las Vegas also gives me the Fear. I'd like to visit the place when the Rat-pack and the Mob were running the show(s), but absent time-travel I'm stuffed.

Hxx/CCC events are, I dunno, more or less the exact opposite of that. It's all the self-organising, co-operative, anarchist, mind(set)-altering good stuff that makes me quietly despair about my alleged real life, but also be intensely glad that it happened and that I was part of it.
