I’ll remember Saturday night as the night where I let myself be free. I can’t begin to explain how kissing so many beautiful people in a foggy-colourfully-lit room (courtesy of J), made my heart almost jump out of my body.

Or maybe that was just the K trying to play games with me? Hmmm.

What I do know is that SoundCon 2024 truly was a moment we won’t be able to replicate. You had to be there to feel what all my girls, S, F, D, C, R, A, T and I felt.

As we got to Impact Lounge Tony Hawk's child (I didn’t realize this till it was the talk of my friend's conversation) was finishing their set. The nepo baby to electronic music pipeline should be studied a bit. Are there any others in that category?

The name was Gupi? I don’t remember if I have to check the poster again. From the three minutes I caught from their set, it wasn’t that bad. Their sound from what I heard reminded me of 100 gecs. Like I wouldn’t even be able to describe what they look like, but I did catch a glimpse of long pinkish hair.

However, you know what I was happy to hear…Von Dutch by Charli XCX during the UMRU's set!!!! I’m not an XCX cock sucker like a lot of others may be, but she laced that track with the finest crack. The feeling of hearing that high off k, a room filled with fog and a sexy lad holding you from behind is such an out-of-body experience I’ve been lucky enough to feel twice now! Just watching A dance like the star that she is in the middle of the dance floor made me smile. If you’ve seen her just let loose and dance you’d know what I’m talking about…A STAR!

There was a picture that was taken by Kirk Lisaj at Pep Rally earlier in the year of A on the stage in this pose that reminded me of 90s Pamela Anderson.

At one point, in the bathroom my girls, I had to converse, touch up and help our sister C out. She took a bump of J’s k and it was her first time trying it. I think she was already drunk so the mixture for the first time might not have been the best. However, she was still smiling through it all and I gave her a kiss…I think she was brought back to life a bit. This was the first time C had been out in a while and it made me smile to see them have fun and just be out with me. We’ve known each other since grade 9 and I don’t really like them, but we eventually became friends and grew closer later on.

They’ve been my best friend for a couple of years now and I wouldn’t want to be here in this world without them. They mean so much to me and It took me back to a time when we used to go out a bit more together...I love you C.

My friends were all there but 2 people I’ve been seeing (if you can call it that), were in attendance too. T came and I felt like a kid in middle school when their crush would walk past them. When I like someone, I love seeing them in an atmosphere where I’m the most authentic and rawest form I reach.

They get to see a vulnerable side of me; where my guard isn’t put up like a big barbed wire fence in some random rural area. I had seen them at Money is Tight the night before and had spent that same day with them hours before. T just makes me feel so happy and when they hold me I just light up like a brightest star in the deepest hours of the night. The boy I kissed at Dancing 4 Heaven in the summer located at one of those venues on Geary was in attendance.

Ughhhh S why did you have to be at SoundCon? We had gone on a date in October of last year and had been keeping in touch through Instagram, but I didn’t expect to see him. Naturally, I made out with him…no duh! He’s hot and at one point we even got a little frisky in the corner couch area. I would have given him myself right there but that would have been un-ladylike of me. He did take a few sniffs of my poppers.

On that topic of poppers, I gave them over to J during their set and tell me why the bottle got passed around by 9 people. I had to yell “y’all are milking me dry!!”. Like I love passing it around (it’s like a good party favour), but hold on now.

All the DJ sets had my tail twitching uncontrollably. UMRU was first on and as I said before when Von Dutch came on it was over for me. Petal Supply had the best set of the night in my opinion. The energy was just different from the rest…such an amazing DJ and a sweetheart. A and J always gives me what I need and they have us shaking ass up and down. This lineup was truly that cherry on top of the best root beer float money could buy.

Every weekend I feel like I’m taken away from Earth and brought to another plant for 4 or 5 hours. While I’m physically on Earth but mentally I’m taken to a place only I know and it’s an escape for me. For however many hours an event is on, Saturday or Friday night, all my problems are left here on Earth. Then, I find myself in a state of happiness somewhere else in the universe—no worries in the world, just drugs, loved ones, sexy men and amazing music. I can shake my black ass too.

Did I mention my third ever musical orgasm happened…ye that was amazing.
