R.I.P - James M

James M was a character, a legend in the making, within the Adelaide Rave Scene
He was one of the original mischief makers on this board in its heyday - and was someone that would always speak his mind.

No matter who you were James M left his impression on you. I remember selling him his first set of decks @ dance arena, and how excited he was.

Although he has passed - these impressions will live on through the many ppl that he touched.

Fuck! I am stunned! This is such awful news!

James was a great mate, I gave him a ticket to his first dance party at St Pauls.

This is such a sad day :-(

Goa heads make my day

I remember meeting him at the ITM party in February 2003... running around dragging him behind me to introduce him to all the ITMers I knew...

I remember many funny moments with James and the techno crew at Wind Up @ Minke back in the day...

I remember his hilarious posts here... this one time he was discussing something that happened to him @ the supermarket and mentioned how the checkout chick must have talked about him later on the 'Foodland Forum' LOL...

*sigh*

Although we didn't keep in contact much over the last couple of years, he was still a friend I never forgot and thought about when remembering some of my best days of clubbing/raving...

RIP dude...

I only spoke to him a few times, longest conversation I had was when I asked him how he was and he said was just starting a new job in insurance, it was the same week I left my insurance career and sharing the same name we had a lame little chuckle. From first impression he was a massive character.. sad to see someone so young who creates positive energy leave the world so soon.

3 days and it still doesn't feel real. I met James through this very forum.

Extremely devastated, it was only 8 weeks ago I bumped into him at Gabrielle's room and he was being a twat firstly playfully pulling my hair and giving me a big hug.

No one had a greater spirit for life and the people around them.

Behold, they're coming back!

Haven't been on here in freakin ages, couldn't think of a worse possible scenario to return to the boards in. I met James a while back with Cloud9 (Nath) and embarked on some of the best times of my life with those lads. I know Nath will agree with me when I say the scene wont be the same without him and hope his folks and rellies are coping well with this shitty situation.

Mr S, I think James wouldve wanted only one thing this weekend.... Lost In Love. Thumb :thumb:

Take care gang, keep it real.
Mike.

It was really a touching moment and a few of us fell apart after that.. it was a fitting tribute and I was really astounded with the whole main stage crowd participating in it and showing massive respect Thumb :thumb:

Wow, it has been a bloody long time. Too bad I wasn't at Enchanted, but my love goes out to that guy. Terribly cliche, but I hope he finds happiness and peace

Like Power Raver it's been a long time since I've been on here but I just wanted to add to the chorus of tributes to JamesM. He was there for some of the best times I've ever had and I'll never forget his lust for life! Awesome to hear the respect that was shown on the weekend.

Rest in Peace.
