Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

Planet Angel opened its pearly gates for the first time at this amazing event,
in the Meta Conceptual Art Gallery. This was the time to find out if the entire
concept worked and all concerned were in a state of trepidation!

Hanging from the walls were the Evolving Dream Mosaics, with all the art materials on hand.

Spacegirl, the Magical Poetess, erected her warm, inviting poetry tent, draped with rich fabrics. Inside were dozens of carefully placed candles, an enormous beanbag, and an area for poets to take the throne with a microphone to indulge in their literary love.

Pete, the audio-visual mad professor, lurked in a dark corner, surrounded by cables and contraptions, visible only through wisps of solder smoke, adding the finishing touches to his sound-to light-network. He was trying something very special and new for this event - Light Emitting Diodes as the primary source of coloured light. He placed two of his blue LED clusters on each side of the entrance, and stood back to contemplate the effects of this strange display.

We were introduced for the first time to Richard, who DJ's under the name U-4-IC and happened to have all his equipment with him, including a very cool selection of tunes. He promptly moved into the booth and made himself comfortable for the next twenty or so hours!

Then The Warp opened its doors, and Planet Angel rapidly filled up. Before we knew it, people were sitting in the lounge area, staring at the light display, dancing to the tunes, picking a poem from Spacegirl's menu... People were just being.

There was a constant sea of bodies in front of the canvasses, all adding their signature. One guy created a huge beautiful pink heart with handprints. Hours later another guy filled the centre of the heart with a beautiful poem. Many people decided to paint each other - or themselves.

After a few hours there were so many people it was hard to move. Sitting, talking eating, drinking, painting, listening, dancing, sharing, caring. A little girl on her dad's shoulders, staring at the tiny blue sun on each side of the entrance, pumping to the chilled tunes. Both were transfixed. In another corner a girl danced, wrapped in the delicate purple-and-white silk cloth that demarked Planet Angel's space.

Outside the Space, the atmosphere was amazing. People had come together in the name of expression and transformed this car park into a mind-bending crazy maze of human fantasy.

At some hour of the morning, we turned down the tunes, and Spacegirl took the microphone. She delicately recited her poem 'When will someone love me?' to a packed crowd and mesmerised them. We all know what the early hours can be like, come-down, come-up, f**k-up, frustration, exhaustion, exhilaration, but this was amazing, it was like a cool calm breeze, brain fodder, head massage and more.

To be able to indulge a crowd like that proves how powerful the Planet Angel concept is. There is something happening here, something big and beautiful.
