ParadeLove
Berlin
invoked world tour guide 6
Starting off the tour is a true adventure:
a march built of love, good vibes, and
loud music through the streets of Berlin.
Every year, throngs of people come together in the streets
in costumes, body paint or normal clothes to follow floats
and moving DJ booths as they journey through Germany’s
re-emerging capital city. The parade flows past dozens of
important and famous monuments and there is enough
time to linger as the crowd passes.
The parade ends at Brandenburg Gate where the music
shifts to an indoor arena and partiers revel in the famous
DJs that play the crowd in raised booths. Massive video
screens in the sky play animations and psychedllia as the
energy of the party reaches its peak.
city of Berlin
invoked world tour guide 7
historyThe Love Parade began its yearly quest in 1989, four
months before the Berlin wall was torn down, when Mat-
thias Roeingh (Dr. Motte), a German DJ, decided to slowly
drive through Ku’damm playing loud acid-house. 150
people followed. The number of participants increased an-
nually coming together in celebration of electronic music,
re-unification and the human spirit.
Progressive house, techno, and schranz music are featured
styles on the floats that proceed through the crowds.
Gabber and hardcore were also featured until the mid-90s
when they were moved to a counter-demonstration.
In 1996, due to overcrowding on Ku’damm, the parade
was moved to Straße des 17. Juni. It was cancelled in
2004, but promises to come back strong in 2005.
Environmentalists are concerned about the impact the
Love Parade has on the streets of Berlin; therefore, we
encourage you to treat the city as your own.

hotelAlexander Plaza Hotel Berlin
A four-star hotel located between the Alexander Platz and
Hackescher Markt, is where you will be staying while in
Berlin. Plenty of museums and historical buildings are with-
in walking distance. The hotel itself is a historical building,
built in the 19th century, but has been remodelled with a
modern interior for your utmost comfort.
suggested off-day outingsThough most of Berlin was destroyed during the war,
there is still a lot of history to explore. Check out muse-
ums, architecturally renowned buildings, and quieter spots
like cemeteries and gardens.
Berlin’s art scene is rich and should definitely be explored,
and for those of you looking for night time distractions,
there are plenty of bars and clubs to check out.

This is our second stop on the tour.
Get ready for a crazy night on the
party island, with big-name DJs and plenty of sweaty bod-
ies full of energy.
Happening every Wednesday night during the summer,
annually, at club Amensia, Cream has become one of the
most famous parties in the world.
DJs like Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Oakenfold and Armin Van
Buuren spun at Cream in 2004 and are sure to return in
2005 to take Amnesia by storm.
With a capacity for 10,000 friendly and outspoken people,
and two rooms – one with the resident DJ and one with a
guest – you’re sure to have an unforgettable night!
Cream Ibiza05island of Ibiza
invoked world tour guide 11
historyCream Ibiza has been happening since 1999. Originally a
club in Liverpool, Cream began operations at Amnesia in
Ibiza because of the island’s party history.
The party is mainly trance and house music Two DJs spin in
the main room; one being the year’s resident DJ, the other
being a guest. The DJ booth is placed high above every-
one’s heads, but a mirror sits above so the crowd can still
watch the artist.
A dry ice canon shoots mists of cold onto the dancers
periodically throughout the night, often punctuating the
climax of incredible trance tunes as the crowd goes wild.
People mostly dress for the heat, wearing anything from
stylish combat clothes to as little as they can get away with
(girls and guys included).

hotelThe El Corsario hotel, a palace built in the 17th century, is
located in the old quarter and overlooks Ibiza’s port. A 10
minute walk up a steep hill is definitely worth the views
you get from your room.
Elegant and peaceful, invoking the history of the town, it
is the perfect resting spot for before and after the party.
suggested off-day outingsIbiza is an island rich with cultural history; museums are
a great place to start learning about the culture. Fiestas
celebrating saints occurr throughout the year – be sure to
check out at least one of those.
Definitely take advantage of the various beaches offering
such diversions as scuba diving, boat rentals, swimming
schools and more.
For night time excursions, there are plenty of other clubs
and bars to explore in Ibiza town.

Koh Pha Ngan
Next stop: Thailand! The Full Moon Party occurs on one of
Thailand’s islands – that of Koh Pha Ngan (Koh is Thai for
island). About twelve restaurants and bars that line the is-
land’s Haad Rin beach turn their sound systems to face out
onto the beach for the night of the Full Moon Party. The
entire length of sand is turned into a massive, soft dance
floor with people meeting, getting drunk and dancing the
entire night. By the time the sun rises, people have passed
out on the beach; sometimes on their towels, sometimes
on nothing but the sand.
Talented DJs play to the crowds of 15,000 - 20,000 tour-
ists and Thais alike that attend these parties. An incredible
night will surely ensue - just leave your valuables in the
hotel and wear closed shoes!
invoked world tour guide 15
historyParadise Bungalows is the venue where Full Moon Parties
started back in the early 90s, and still throws the biggest
parties. Big-name DJs always stop by this venue to spin for
the crowds at Full Moon Parties.
A range of electronic music styles is played all along the
beach: psy-trance, techno, drum ‘n bass, trance, funk,
house and hip hop. Certain bars specialize is certain styles,
so ask around when you’re there if you’re interested in a
particular one, or you can let the soundwaves take you on
a journey along the beach and see what you discover.
People are all really friendly on the beach, but it’s safest to
stay with a group you know. However, it is a great place
to meet people and hang out for a night.
As at most of the other parties, you can wear as little
as your swimsuit or body paint. Everything is fair game,
though people don’t tend to wear interesting costumes.

hotel boasts Thai hospitality and excellent dining.
When you arrive at Koh Pha Ngan, you will check into
Neptune’s Villa. It is close to Haad Rin, but far enough
away to allow adequate silence for resting purposes the
day after the party.
suggested off-day outingsThailand has a rich culture to explore. Be sure to check out
temples, public gardens and other cultural spots of signifi-
cance. The shopping is good in Bangkok – you can find a
wide variety of goods for low prices.
Thai dining is definitely something to explore, and there
is plenty of nightlife in Bangkok to keep you entertained
before and after Koh Pha Ngan.

Burning Nevada Man
invoked world tour guide 18
state of NevadaYour final destination is a week-long, art-based rave culmi-
nating in the burning of a massive, man-shaped structure.
Burning Man takes place annually in a temporary city –
that of Black Rock – in the desert. Art and play structures
are erected all over the area, allowing for week-long,
temporal experimental expressions and experiences. The
attendees are the perpetrators of these structures, and we
will spend some of the down time of our trip designing
our own to be erected upon arrival in Black Rock City.
Everyone must participate for the community to form and
then operate successfully. As a result, spirit and strength
are tested, and lasting relationships are built. The ultimate
life-changing experience to end Invoked World Tour!
invoked world tour guide 19
historyThe first Burning Man took place in 1986 to celebrate the summer solstice. It took place on Baker Beach in San Fran-cisco, when Larry Harvey and Jerry James lit the fire that burned the first man in the series. Twenty people were witness to that event.
Ever since then, the man has grown up to 40 ft tall and, in recent years, placed on top of tower and temple-like struc-tures to make his presence even higher. Attendees now number over 30,000. Children, teens and adults all attend, making for a party that spans generations and brings ev-eryone together to celebrate life, energy and spirit.
The music is a backdrop for this event; it is mostly psy-trance, but hardcore, breaks, drum ‘n bass, trance and house are also played by the artists that attend.
As with the other parties, wear whatever you like. Every-thing from complete nudity to outrageous costumes is
invited at Burning Man. You are free to express yourself!
