glad you got home good chris - we got home fine - 24 hour dash back to lpool ....Yea dude... I was a little worried, but tis all my fault for thinking Perpignon was nearer than Carcassone. Anyway...alls well that ends well!!! Glad you made it back in such good time too....At one point, it looked like it may take a little longer to clear the site! peas, N

What a week! The party was absolutely fantastic! thoroughly enjoyed myself from start to finish. The tunes where top, well done all djs/artists, kept me dancin til i could dance no longer. The place looked superb, alot of effort had gone into the decor well done guys! The weather was perfect i havnt felt heat like that for a long time. so yeah, everyone who organised and helped with that party, and a mega thank you to Chris, Lorraine and Geoff who drove me there and back. In fact, the only thing there is to grumble about was the wasps which were everywhere and couldnt be helped and those pesky kids who had a few destructive tricks up their sleeves.. I especially loved the psychedelic trek into the forest to the rock pool, even if we did get lost up the mountain!!! Hello to everyone i met! All in all i had a superb time everyone who didnt come, ya missed out, Roll on France Trance 3 Nate

Wow!! What an amazing party! Endless praise going to claire and paul for putting this one together and to everyone else who helped out. The location was so lush, and yeh, the mission to the rock pool a real treat. The Djs were spot on through out, and the vibe as friendly as it gets. To all the new people i met, it was brilliant to spend time with you, and the ones i already had, great to catch up again. Roll on 2008 for sure! ;D

Well... I really don't know where to start here. Firstly... a MASSIVE thanks to Paul & Clare for inviting me along to and putting on the best party I have ever been to.... I honestly cannot get over it. There are so many moments I will never or would never want to forget. Big Love & Respect. It was great to experience a Messmedia party out of the UK and dance with some local french party animals... alez!! alez!! There were so many moments that just could never happen in the UK... does anyone remember the accapella acoustic rave during Xavier Morrell's set?! Anyone who was there will remember it I am sure.... do you think you could ever experience anything like that in the UK?!! [chuckles] Massive credit too should be given to everyone who helped set this up.... you know who you are, the place looked astonishing. Also, loads of credit should be given to every DJ / producer who helped keep the music going... I heard some wonderful stuff throughout this party. Last, but definately not least.... thanks to everyone who came along and partied.... you are all true stars!! See you all very soon, Peace, Love, Unity & Respect. Lloyd the + P.S. Oh, and must not forget - a HUGE thanks to the young french girl that kidnapped me on Friday morning, took me around the entire region, cooked me a meal, took me swimming and returned me to the site safely in time for Jack's amazing opening set which kicked ASS!!! Nice one!!

You guys well and truelly rule. James IND.Street: James....respect goes out to you for your commitment and persistance in gaining the best sounding soundsystem. CONSISTANTLY.

Your hospitality was wonderous. Andrew and Wies.....Thankyou for getting me back to the airport, and for the days worth of entertainment, food and hospitality inbetween. Id never dreampt the party would end with such a magical mystery tour of the whole area, hot spring and waterfalls included......AND a night in a mountainside cabin. THANKYOU! Thanks Lorrainne.....for understanding PROG not taking the p**s everytime i slowed it down, and for being my partner in Tequila fuelled crime :-) your set was awesome, and keeps getting more refined and better everytime i hear it! Chooops and the chai crew....Good effort guys. Your brews saved me more than once!..well organised and super smily vibes...WELL IN!!! Apart from that...ALL the djs deserve a mention.

Lastly, but not least(ly? haha)....much thanks and respect to all the locals, without whom, this never would have happened in such a magical location. (Runs away in a giggling euphoric hysteria) One Love all. N ps- Nice to put a few new faces to names.

The whole thing was a visual , auditory and sensational treat - far out fantastic We cant say thanx enough to James of Industry St. fame, you were incredable, arriving asap , working like a Trojan!, sorting out the rig and the lights and moitoring it throughout the weekend.

Bonjour tout le monde !! Hooray, I'm registered at last........ It is with great pleasure that my first input to any forum will be one of HUGE THANKS to the Mess Media crew (Clare, Paul, Jack and all), for what I would say has been one of the best parties I've ever had the pleasure of going to. You made me feel extremely welcome Thank you for the lifts around town to get to the bank and supermarket.......Lionel, Phil, Rui !! The weather was fantastic, a real uplift after the English summer, everyone was on a natural high. The music was 2nd to none which is what I've come to expect from these guys; and the effort put into the decor really shone through. Nice vibes all round, I can't wait 'till the next one ( I'll have to I know...) A big 'thankyouman' to my special mates Captain Kevman and Charmaine (morning ) for a great week. Big love to all Jim'll MiXit

we had a cheese box like that on the way home in the back of a very hot ambulance..... we were only allowed to remove the lid if life depended on it as it would oooze cheese juice and stench comtaminating anything or any one that came into contact with it!! it had to be contained in a larger box with locking lid incase of fatal cheese spillage!!........the contents tased lush though
