SEPT. 24 - THE 20 YEAR REGATHERING OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID ** My friends! This Saturday night, September 24th, is the regathering of the legendary Flammable Liquid, which was the 1st of L.A.'s underground after hours parties durning the early 1990s. Read more about my experiences from those early years below. But first: ----> If you'd like to get on a special list that was created by for me by the producers which will get you in for half price, please send an email to twanslist at flammableliquid.com and say that Twan sent you and that you'd like to be added to the discount list A little history about Flammable Liquid: The Past: Flam was born in early 1991 during the nascent L.A. underground party scene. Being an insider from the starting gate, I was fortunate to have been able to contribute to the formation of the local underground scene in some small way (which ultimately ended up leading me to become the L.A. Burning Man regional director years later). The experience was extraordinary and changed my life forever. In those early years, being part of the underground was kind of like being a member of a secret society. Not many people knew about it, but enough to ensure that there were enough bodies to make it fantastic. The underground was the only place where you could find the kind of electronic dance and house music which is now ubiquitous and seemingly inescapable. There was no electronic dance music available at the record stores. You couldn't find it on any radio station. It's as though it didn't exist Except it did. Big time. But only within this hidden, secret world. If felt incredibly special and unique to be involved in this vibrant, exciting, hedonistic underworld, raging right under the noses of an unsuspecting mainstream, commercialized world. In discovering this world, I had found my people... Of all the events in those early years that I was either directly or indirectly involved with, or simply a party-goer, Flammable Liquid was one of the most memorable. It started at 3:00am on Sunday morning and went until people left, sometimes well into Sunday afternoon. It was epic. People were tribal dancing with streams of tears running down their faces. Total catharsis on the dance floor and good, good vibes. Always held in a new location almost every Sunday. Usually totally illegal. No permits. No authorization. Complete renegade party production. Living on the edge and living large. It was a good way to live. Flammable Liquid went on from early in 1991, and ended in September 1992. Years that I will never forget. The Future: Now, flash-forward 20 years.... Baba Lou (who is the founder of Flammable, who was only 20 years old when he started it) and co-founder DJ Doc Martin, have gotten back together with their old colleagues to have one more raging one-off. The so-called regathering of Flammable Liquid. The same DJs who tore up the dance floor back then will be doing it again this Saturday, Sept. 24. Doc Martin, Mark Lewis, Sean Perry, Barry Weaver, Steve Loria, EliStar, Electric Skychurch, Fido ReyRey, and more. If you're not familiar with these names, don't fret. Trust me. You will be shaking your ass, fo sho! To reiterate: if you'd like to get on the 1/2 price list, write to twanslist at flammableliquid.com, and say that Twan sent you. It's not a cheap event. You'll get in for $30, which isn't bad considering that pre-sales tickets are $50, which goes up to $60 at the door. The price of admission includes an open no-cost bar, which will continue serving drinks until 1:30am. I hope to see you all there!
