I just wanted to comment that I went to the party on May 27th 2002.  It was my 2nd party
and I was travelling with my brother from the USA.  I really love Ko Phangan and tell
everyone I know what a mind blowing time  Thailand can be.  But after sunrise around 7am
my brother and I were both viciously knocked down in the sand right in front of the
Vinylclub.  Four to five guys who decided rolling in the sand is some sort of Olympic
sport.  Anyway these assholes continued hassling people after I left and cleaned myself
up about an hour later. They obviously didn't care about the music, the party, and
reminded me of jocks back in America who I try to avoid by travelling the The Full Moon
Party.  Luckily I wasn't injured even though I returned home to find out I have a hernia
and need surgery next week.
