Plan-- 3 friends (J, L, M) and myself were headed to a club (Soma), to see AK1200. No one had any drugs, just planned on going with the flow. Except I had a small sized cap and some shakey stems left over from the 1/8+ of mushrooms I had on July 4.
With this small amount, I had not planned on any extreme experience, just a slight enhancement of the lights and music. Well, I was in for a big surprise.
12am--We arrive at Soma. I quickly munch the cap and stems on the walk from the car to the club. Once we get in, we get a drink at the bar, chat for a minute, then head downstairs to the show.
12:30am--AK had begun. I feel sort of relieved because it is not very crowded, and there seems to be plenty of space around the floor. (Its a small club)
J finds a nice spot on the risers along the side of the main floor. I follow, but at this time I am starting to feel a buzz in my legs, and decide I need to be closer to the music. I work my way up to the center of the floor, in front of the DJ. At this time, I am noticing the lights beginning to have an effect on me. As I look around, faces become photographs in my mind...each one captured, then quickly erased to allow for the next one. I really start to mesh with the crowd as the energy begins to bounce around between all of us. I am smiling, and happy to be there.
Then, some drunk morons start slam dancing around me. These cats are continuously crashing into me, as well as others and they are all over the place. I am trying to ignore them, but at this time it is very difficult, as the mushies are really causing me to focus on them, and not the music. I start thinking how this was a bad idea, and that I should not have eaten mushies to come here. The chaotic movements of the crowd was surrounding me, the crowd looked like worms who were coming out of their holes for the first time, squirming and twitching in a very disorderly manner. I was finding it difficult to find my groove, so I went outside to smoke a cigarette.
I sat down, away from everyone, and began to tune in to all of the conversations going on around me, I was enjoying my effortless observations of all of the little groups. At this time, a guy walks up and sits down right next to me, and says "how are you?" It seems like it took an eternity for me to answer, because numerous thoughts flooded into my mind..."who is he, why is he talking to ME, oh he must be rolling, he seems ok, I dig the glasses, wow Im feelin these mushies, I don't want to talk, but screw it..." All I said was "hi", smiling brightly, struggling to create a sensible vocal reaction out of the nonsense thoughts crowding my mind. I am not sure of the exact conversation, but I remember feeling a delay between what he said and what I said...as if someone pressed pause after my thoughts, then play, just long enough for me to blurt out some nonsense. This bugged me out a bit, so I quickly said "have a good one" and went back in.
Once I got back inside I discovered an empty area to the left of the sound wall. "This", I thought, "is my hole, my sweet spot" I remember just grooving there for a minute, and feeling the bass vibrating my pantlegs, and felt warm rushes run from my feet to my head and then back down again, all in tune with the bass. This got me excited, and pleased at what I had decided to do.
AK started dropping some incredibly bassey, evil tracks, and this is where my trip actully began. I felt the need to close my eyes, as if they were window shades being pulled down to block out the clutter that existed around me. I felt the bass gently pulling my shoulders toward the floor, all while feeling an energy center in my torso and legs becoming light as air.
With each passing moment, the music consumed me more, creating movements that were effortless and automatic. Eyes still closed, I suddenly saw myself surrounded by a halo of purple and pink light, distant and faceless, but familiar enough to know it was me. Every movement became guided, programmed by this vision. I felt flawless, like I had never felt before. I felt alive, happy, content, just me and my music. I could see the music, like a brighter light, moving around my body, like a little fireball, swirling inside this halo. This is so hard to put into words.
When I opened my eyes for the first time, I had this warm relaxed sensation encasing my body, like the vision had actually become physical. This continued on for about 45 minutes, where every now and then I would open my eyes, just to be sure of what was around me.
This trip was incredible. I felt good, damn good, considering the small amount of mushrooms I had ingested. I needed this night, to reawaken my spirit, and I am utterly thankful for this experience. Especially considering my last experience before this one. It wasn't terribly deep, but it refreshed my soul, enough to carry me through and remind me of all of the good things in my life.
