"Backstage, under age, adolescent
How ya doin', “Fine,” she replied
I sighed, “I like to do the wild thing”
Action took place
Kinda wet, don't forget
The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, y'all
I need a body bag"

What's up,

I said on twitter that I'd release the first Amnesia 10 year anniversary performance artist at 4:45pm. Christmas came early (like that Tic?).

Starting from Scratch is a bad bad man.

Jason Chambers is a bad bad man.

And me? Yeah. A bad bad man.

For 10 years. 10 years.

For 10 years, we have provided individually, and as part of a team, some of the most memorable, historical events ever - because we're fans. And we get off on watching you get off. You may have seen us on stage bussing a running man, or singing "All Cried Out", or rapping along to any of the countless hip hop artists that have graced the Amnesia stage.

For this, our 10 year anniversary celebration - the 10 year anniversary celebration of Toronto's favorite party - the movement known as Amnesia, we proudly present the 1ST - THE FIRST of MANY SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMANCES.

We generally keep them a secret... although we often slip and leak them cause we can't keep it a secret.

You've seen MAESTRO FRESH WES & BAG-A-TRIX, GREG NICE [NICE & SMOOTH], MICHEE MEE & MAESTRO FRESH WES, DO DAT DANCE AGENCY, TEN CITY [BYRON STINGLEY] & SPECIAL ED, TDOT ALLSTARS (SAUKRATES, KARDI, CHOCLAIR, RO DOLLA, SOLITAIRE], CECE PENISTON & CL SMOOTH... MC LYTE & CHUBB ROCK with special guests GREG NICE & SPECIAL ED, LISA LISA & THE CULT JAM & DREAM WARRIORS, NAUGHTY BY NATURE & SHANNON.

It's our 10 year anniversary. And we wanted to do something EPIC. Something that would make you swear.

We spent months and months hitting our heads against the wall to figure out how we could take your breathe away. And for a while, we couldn't think of anything. For a moment, I THOUGHT IT WAS ME that would be performing at the Amnesia 10 year anniversary. Then out of no where Scratch called and said wouldn't it be DOPE if we just took Amnesia to another level and played ABOVE THE RIM?

Jason was like, what are you thinking? LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. Scratch was like... it's our 10 year anniversary, let's just finish the city.

4 days away from history, I proudly announce that the first artist at Amnesia 10 year anniversary is...

keep scrolling

isn't this fun?

the single biggest artist ever to appear at an Amnesia, in terms of historical significance....

as members of one of the single most - if not, the most successful male groups of all time....

due to their group success, but their individual success without...

BOBBY BROWN....

RALPH TRESVANT....

or JOHNNY GILL.

The first special guest for Amnesia 10 year Anniversary is none other than...

RICKY BELL

MICHAEL BIVINS

RONNIE DEVOE

better known as...

BELL BIV DEVOE.

And that's just 1 of the acts. 1 of the R&B acts. I love teasing. Wait til you see our... oh.

Tune into Scratch at 5 and get hype. Get your tickets now... There are STILL NEARLY 500 $25 tickets citywide - the next set of tickets are $35 and then the event is within SELL OUT RANGE...

A small number of tickets will be held for the door.

GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY. Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend.

Let's the guessing begin... Any MORE ideas for 10 years ???????????????????????????????????????

Until next time,

I remain,

Yours sincerely,

IAN ANDRE ESPINET

RE:VISION

In September 1999, we revolutionized the way you viewed events with Amnesia. Since then, we have listened to you, our patrons and friends, and changed to suit your lifestyle. In the orchestration of our flagship event, Amnesia, we have stayed true to our goals. In the creation of other signature events such as Soul Kitchen, Big People Fete, B-Boy Document, X-Factor, ICON, re:connect, Socaholics, The ONE, Music Cafe etc, we have continued the mission.

With more than 2/3 of the urban nightlife scene attending Amnesia and/or one of the our signature events in the past 9 years, we continue to prove that success takes more than VISION. It takes RE:VISION. Stay tuned as we hone our online presence - www.amnesia.ca coming soon...
