I loved my first acid experience!
It was on the night the ABC interviewed me and gave me free tickets to Tranc.ition at POW in St.Kilda.
During the day (after the interview) I went and bought a vile of acid for a friend, and when I made the purchase, the rather generous person I was buying off noticed that in the tin they'd kept the acid in, one (or two, or three, god knows how many!) had leaked in the bottom. I asked if it would work, and they said, "dunno, have it and find out..." I said cool, I might try it tonite and find out.
Cut a long story short, I didn't really want to take it (I've always told myself I'd try it either in the bush or on the beach - somewhere VERY far away from the city) so I went and bought an MD cap for Tranc.ition.
Dropped the cap at 12 after the interviews and camerashots for the documentary were done, and the camera crew had pissed off. Come 2am when the full peak started to *SLIGHTLY* wear off (you know when you don't want it to end - you just want to be off forever!) I grabbed the guy I was with and headed back to the car. When I opened the tin, all the liquid had dried up, so I swished a bit of water from my waterbottle inside the tin. We shared 1/2 each and then proceeded to smoke a joint standing out of the sunroof right out the front of the Esplanade Hotel - cops drove past and didn't even care - that was pretty funny!
Headed straight back inside, 1/2 an hour later we realised we weren't in Kansas anymore! We were absofuckinlutely trashed! I only first noticed when I was in the toilet washing my hands, and I looked over a a guy drying his hands. He was chewing his gum pretty darn hard, and all of a sudden he started chewing the rest of his face - up to his eyes. That was it, I lost it right there. I was laughing so hard I was very close to puking.
The rest of the night was sick - I fell in love with psy, and with DJ Shingo - he looked like an alien, and when he came on to the dancefloor at 7am, I nearly lost my mind.... for the 17th time
Seeing him one minute on the decks, the next minute dancing next 2 me!
Anyhow, we left at close, which was about 7:30. We really didn't realise how trashed we were until we walked outside. Going from a trippy environment with insane visual set-up, to the real world was just too much. All we could do was piss ourselves laughing. So hard I think we crawled most of the way from POW to the car!
Sitting in the car was hilarious, then we decided to walk over the overpass that goes over the boulevard opp. the Espy. I was crawling over that, pissing myself lauging at the bridge, the cars going underneath, and the people walking their dogs past me.
At about 7:50, we realised that we were parked in an area which required a ticket. Seeing I've got pinched before in St.Kilda for not having a ticket, I got really paranoid. Mind you, I still couldn't stop laughing whenever I looked at the buildings and the sky!
Seeing neither myself or my friend were in a state to drive, I started calling friends to come down to St.Kilda to pick us up. The ABC gave me 2 cabcharges to get to the rave, but I drove instead, so I still had 2 cabcharges in my pocket. I wanted my friends to get a cab to St.Kilda and drive us home - I wasn't going to get a cab anywhere, coz there was no way I was leaving the new car to get towed!
Anyway, come 8:30, there was no way any of our friends were coming to get us, so I managed to straighten myself out and drive the length of Punt/Hoddle St back to Clifton Hill.
A truly excellent experience!
