Description: RT: Ok, I know for a fact, there are guys on here that were at this one, many were meant to make it to the first Utopia but ended up at this one instead when the directions for Utopia were stuffed up. While I chose to go to Carmageddon I am interested to hear from anyone who ended up there due to the stuff up with Utopia. What are your thoughts and having to share fire space with crusty ferals and having your ears tested by banging hard techno and twisted acid trance. Did some of you like me end up becoming a fully fledged member of the fledging doof culture ? or did you stick with your rave roots and put it down to a one off experience ? Whether you liked that night or not, you were part of doof history if you were there. In my almost 20 years of going to parties I have never seen any thing as over the top as Carmageddon. So many names on that flyer that I was yet to discover. I was too dicombobulated that night to comprehend what was going on around me, it all seemed chaotic ! Had I been a bit more coherant I would have checked out a lot more of the artists!
