Always wanted to go… But I think now more than ever, I value my health - certainly more than I have ever done. I know that if I was to go it would be the session to end all sessions.
I also appreciate the Music more than ever, which was often of secondary importance, back when I was a human ricochet. So thats why I’d still like to go… but truthfully, the other side of things would be pretty alien to me now.
BBC3 should start showing Highlights.
I’d press the Red Button.

San An, a big group of arab looking guys started causing problems with me and my friend. Tried to fight us, then we told them to fck off and walked away, only to then realise our wallets and mobile phones had been pickpocketed from us.
Luckily they didn’t get my wallet or camera, only my phone, but my friend lost everything.
He was a worker there and told me sht like that happens all the time, it’s the arab and lucky lucky men and women you want to watch out for.
Pretty wnak that is really man! I mean, its obvious it goes on just i have never come across it. The lucky lucky men are funny lol!
i’m there 11th august for 10 days. 3rd return to the island for me 
i’m planning to go for a few days in the first week of October to go amnesia and dc10 closing. Both parties last year were immense
Ibizan authorities have announced that clubs are to have a fallow year in 2011, with blanket closures across all island venues. Following years of supposed conflict between island residents and ravers, and continued rumours of club closures – the revelation comes as a disappointment, but perhaps not a surprise.
The announcement comes as a response to claims that, after over 20 years of continued rave traffic, the island needs a break to rest and regenerate – not only for its residents, wildlife and natural surroundings, but also its clubs.
The idea is not only to give local residents a break from the tourist traffic, but allow club owners the opportunity to redecorate and update venues that have been in constant use, and abuse, for over two decades.
“Ibiza is an iconic tourist destination, and important for global music culture,” said a spokesperson for the Ibizan local government. “We’ve realised that the best way to deal with this culture is not to fight it, but to embrace it. It is as important to Ibiza as it is to the world. As such we will take this year to ensure Ibiza’s clubbing infrastructure – bars, hotels, clubs, drugs – is up to the highest standard.”
If this news comes as a major disappointment though, fear not, you’ll still be able to get to white island next year, as part of the Ibizan authorities’ ‘Rave up, clean up’ campaign.
Party-goers are being invited to come for week’s holidays where they can aid the clean-up operation of the island’s beaches and other natural areas, picking up the cans, used condoms and other rubbish that have proved a danger to local flora and fauna. “After so many years with many thousands of people coming to our island, that is a great many people who have pissed in the sea at Bora Bora,” said one Ibizan resident. “This fish need a break, man! This is a chance for people to give something back.”
Details on the ‘Rave up, clean up’ campaign will be made available over this summer.

hahaha i never thought they’d be up for getting their drugs up to the highest standard. Maybe they’re deciding to go down the Amsterdam way of thinking.
Not that I condone the use of or even do any myself… just saying. Each to their own.
Red bull, chewing gum, water and the odd JD & Coke for me, hopefully they’ll drop the prices (although im not holding my breath), €15 for one drink is a joke.
[quote]roben (29/06/2010)[hr]Anyone going this year?
I was supposed to be going in August but now the plans have changed to September, i’m worried as hell because last year i went in Aug and Sept and by Sept, Zoo Project was closed, it’s such an awesome party!!
