I agree with Marnie – I used to come to toronto every weekend from the states and I would do anything to be able to feel that type of connection and acceptance and just pure happiness again. It felt so exciting and amazing to be a part of the birth of a scene unlike anything ever before. Most of my tapes from that era got played so much that they are worn thru and I didn’t have a way to convert them so if anyone knows any sites that have old sets for download please let me know – I would also be dying for any video footage because as we all know this scene was before everyone had a cell phone let alone video recorders. I miss those days so much and still get butterflies in my stomach when I hear tracks from that time

The good thing about memories is that we can make new ones as we please. Yes, ‘back in the day’ things were better and more exciting in the scene but we still have some excellent parties! Cherry Beach Sundays courtesy of Promise; Harvest Festival, etc. Get out there and make new memories!

Lots of truth Marnie. Things don’t seem as good now as they did back then.
It’s a bittersweet feeling reading these, those were good times.

Yes!!! I can officially say I was there for the “good old days” :^) The Golden Age mark is very fitting for the era; i believe that those who witnessed it can say that there was something extraordinary about the time, the city and the people that provided a context for the phenomenon we experienced. I feel very privileged to have been among the ranks of those who saw the light.
