This is totally a cheesy topic, but a fun one never the less, and I am always interested in other people stories and experiences. I often am amazed by what others consider amazing or what others have experienced, that i have missed on my vacation. So in lieu of that, i propose this topic, where you write out your favorite or most memorable or powerful Ibiza memory. I'll start.
My memory is from 2004, it was the first year that I had gone to Ibiza. The whole process of going to Ibiza came about after a session that 3 friends and I had at the gym earlier that day. We had gone to the gym at 7pm and ended up at my house at some time around 10:30pm, ordered a pizza and began chatting. Somewhere along the way we began joking about how during school we had always talked about going to Ibiza and how mental it looked on the internet and in magazines. All of a sudden one of us spoke up and said "why don't we just do it then".
This may seem like a small undertaking, but if you live in Canada, its not at all. Airfare to Europe is about $1000.00 and then we had to take care of all out other transport and accommodation.
Anyway, that's enough of the details, my most powerful memory comes from my first entry to Amnesia. It was our second week on the island (we spent 3 weeks there) and I had sort of become accustomed to the island in a way. We had already been to Pacha, but Pacha wasn't really my thing. Some of my friends loved it, but the whole glamour, status, spend money until everyone likes you thing, isn't my bag. When we entered Amnesia, it was for Cream, and it was one of the famed nights where Tiesto and PVD play back to back. I remember walking into the club and having my ears filled with James Holden - Nothing (93 Returning Mix). One of my favorite trance songs. Tiesto was on the decks and despite my opinion that he is not a brillinat DJ, he was actually doing a good job warming up for PVD. I remember stopping and staring over the whole crowd, lasers and all, thinking "so this is what dance music is all about". Never having been to anything like that in North America before. It was sublime, and then i proceeded to go mental and have the best clubbing night of my entire night. It has never been matched before.
Alright, most people probably didn't read that, but go crazy, show me what you've got!
