Moonlight Party weekend!

We have another 3 day weekend this month AND it's a full moon one!! It means it's time to go to outdoor parties!

There are three big parties around the Kansai area and each one has its own features. If you are a genki Israelie psy-trance lover, go for SKYNET. For those who want to enjoy both trance and 'free style' sound, why not boogie on down to THROB. If you don't mind traveling a bit farther, Planetary Nation in Gifu is a sure bet with a DJs/artists line-up out of this world.

Since this may be the last chance to go partying outside this year, choose carefully and enjoy!
