Re: It's your friends that make your world

i'm in the process of copying everything off steve's computer onto my external drive. he recorded the whole night of our last Jelly event, which was on halloween. that was his last public set that he played. he also played one of his infamous marathon sets at the afterparty, but i'm not sure if that got recorded or not. i'm sure we'll be posting these things up in the coming days.

[quote=scifi pi;675089]We are working on doing a Memorial event over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend on Pensacola Beach at JELLY which Steve played at quite a bit for the past couple years. [/quote] this is true. here's what i posted on our local board today:

In light of recent events, we have decided to dedicate the Thanksgiving Jelly to Steve James. It will be a chance for us to come together and give thanks for Steve's life ... for all the joy, laughs, music, inspiration, and warmth he brought to OUR lives. And to give thanks for all the family and friends we have to support us - through the good, and bad. We are gonna give thanks the way that Steve would want us to ... through music.

The original line-up that we had in mind will be postponed for a later date. Providing the beats for this event will be some of Steve's closest Pensacola friends.

Times are very tough for all of us right now, but we want this party to be a celebration. A celebration of Steve, a celebration of life, and a celebration of friendship.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I did not know Jibs personally but this man I didn't know made me laugh my ass off with his every post and picture on here. his avatar!:lol: i just thought the other day about missing his posts. i believe it's true that we don't experience the great joys of life without also feeling the great pain and emptiness. my thoughts and prayers go out to all those who's lives were touched by steve. I pray that he's at peace now and no longer suffering. it's never easy for those who are left behind and it's also truly wonderful to hear about the joy and good times shared with him. RIP Steve God Bless :(:(:(:(:(

Re: It's your friends that make your world

So gutted right now! I have no idea what to say... I ripped those Chris Fortier tapes just for him, even though I uploaded them to the whole forum I did those just for him. We had quite a few PM's talking about Chris. We were going to meet up one night and I was going to give him the rest of the tapes that I never did, but something came up and we couldn't do it. From what I knew of him he was a classy guy and funny. This is very sad news and hard to take all at once.

R.I.P brother! :(

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I cannot comprehend how those of you who knew him must be feeling. I can't stop crying, I keep thinking of a line in a track on Sanders 2001 Em. "It's quiet now".

Re: It's your friends that make your world

damn, i'm really sorry to hear this, thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family. Steve James was always one of the realest posters here, an internet legend imo.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

what the fuck?

this is crazy talk.... i have known steve for years, bugged him all of the time about new sets etc, just an awesome guy. am so sad that i never met him but he was one of the MS'ers which i had planned on meeting one day or another.

what the fuck......

i am seriously gutted... sick feeling in my stomach.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I serioulsy can't believe im reading this. I grew up with Steve. He introduced me to electronic music, and I fell in love with it, listening to him and mark spin marathon sets at Uncle Toms Cabin in Tampa. I feel like I have let him down. What happened. damn it I hate being so far from home! WTF. If anyone that knows more about this please PM me. I have no good way of contacting my brother and friends who all grew up together with steve. I am totally distraught right now. Steve, I love you like a brother man. I really wish I would have known what has been going on. I m going to miss ya man!
Rest in Peace and thank you for introducing me to the music man!

Re: It's your friends that make your world

well, i was waiting for someone else to post what happened, but i think everyone is probably waiting on someone else to do it?

so i hope it's ok that i just go ahead and tell everyone.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

"and by the way you have no reason to explain yourself and fuckbag to me. i get protective when i see a dipshit around people i care for, even if that person i care for just came in my life a couple hours ago. any ms'r has a certain place reserved in my heart especially the women who venture to foreign lands alone. i just get protective, thats all, thats just me. i've been in enough clubs and cities in my life to learn how to shrug off attitude from fuckbag meatheads and didn't feel threatened so plz dont worry about my feelings, i was just concerned about your well being. i'm glad you had fun and made it back to your room safely. can't wait to hang with you again someday when i dont have a head full of acid restraining me from normal conversation but wmc brings out the party animal in me as you should well know by now."

Just to show what a stand up guy he was. Being protective of me and barely knowing me!!

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Were there signs of any problems? I mean why!! why! A really good friend died 2 years ago but there was nothing he could of done except wear his seat belt.. this on the other hand really sucks! why!? He seemed very charismatic, lively, his quotes; the way he talked, I just dont get it.

still shocked ! :(

#1117577Post 110 of 359

Re: It's your friends that make your world

knowing him personally for a long time, he did battle depression. to make your point, he WAS very charismatic and very very lively and never alluded to doing something of this magnitude. so i sincerely do NOT think that this is something anybody could have done anything about. all i can say is that he chose his path and chose to do it quietly, but always remember that he made everyone around him feel good and that's what everybody should be focusing on. he was the best of friends when i needed one and the man is in a better place.

#1117578Post 111 of 359

Re: It's your friends that make your world

We portray a certain image of ourselves, because we care what people think of us and/or we don't want them to see the pain we have because it hurts them. That is why he was the character that he was. He loved everyone too much to burden them with his pain. So instead, he made us laugh, and dance.

Steve was like that. His problems were never pawned off on anyone because he didn't want people to worry about his problems. He was a proud person, and a bit stubborn at the same time. He listened to advice, but I could tell that he was going to do it his way anyway. I respect that.

Rest his soul, but I am very relieved that he chose to go the way he did. don't misunderstand me though, I never ever wanted to see any of this go down, but out of all the ways, this was a very peaceful way. It was not malicious of him, meaning, this was the most "humane" way to be found.....Imagine the impact this would have had if he cut his wrists, shot himself, or even hanged himself...We should be happy to have known him and also have some respect for the way he carried it out. RIP.

#1117580Post 113 of 359

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I haven't been able to get his face out of my head all day. He was such a riot in P-cola and the backbone of the party. I'm glad I got a chance to meet him and hangout for a few days. Even if I hadn't, the impact he has made on me while I've been on ms is indescribable and unforgetable. I went to bed last night with him in my mind and woke up first this morning thinking of him. We will all miss him so much. I'm still in shock and will be for some time to come. There won't be one day I'm on this board that he will not cross my mind. May God be with him, his family, his friends and fellow ms'ers.

his post on my profile: "when i think about you, i disturb my rectal ceremonies and delve deep into the anal sanctuary that was once a peaceful landscape, but is now a fruitful playground for the deceptive idealists that were once abnormal dropping swappers."

^^ look at that damnit, it's fucking hilarious... how the fuck...

RIP Jibbs

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I know for a fact that the music and Mercury server were the wonderful postive light in Steve's life. As many of you have experienced first hand, Steve was a giving, kind, stand-up person. And I think that is why it is so hard to comprehend on why and how this has happened. On a recent and local level, myself and many others in Pensacola took him in with open arms and knew he had some past issues with his living arrangements in Tampa. After the Mercury Server reunion weekend here and his long drive back with Steve Graham, he realized that when he got back that he had no one in his own hometown to share the great experience he had just had. And it was a repeat from previous times coming back from Pensacola on the many occassions he came here to visit and play. No intention on discounting anyone in Tampa or anywhere else, for some reason he felt more connected and rewarded if started anew in Pensacola. I was one of the many that convinced him to come here so that he could focus on his new job/career with Walgreens and on his music. Possibly get into producing with our local progressive house head studio artist, Kevin Rockwell. I even made many efforts to get him booked once he moved. Within a week or two of him arriving, I had booked him at Pensacola's biggest EDM monthly and got him and Hafid a monthly residency at Pensacola's newest lounge. IMHO things were looking great for Steve James. After finding out on Sunday that he missed worked and had not contacted anyone, Hafid and I spent most of the day and evening looking for him. I personally and Mindy drove around Pensacola at every hotel and every Walgreens I passed by. Repeating three times just to hopefully run into him, but with no luck.

For many of us, we now know that its been a privilege and honor of knowing the better side of Steve James. That is how he should be remembered and honored. The music was his light and lifeline. It is unfortunate that it wasn't enough. I only wished he was here in Pensacola a bit longer so that he could have experienced the great love and comadrie that we have and had for him.

If anything, we need take this negative and turn to a positive. Cherish and honor your experiences and memories of him. Share those with others. Take the time to mend, fix and make peace for those that you love but are in turmoil. Show the people you love and care for with more fervor. Hug them twice. Kiss them longer. Offer your hand when not expected with even a stranger. Ever little bit counts, more than you know. Treat them like Steve treated you. Doing that would be the best honor for him and everyone he touched.

Transpire to inspire....thats what he did for me and I shall do the same.

this is so true scifi. while i am terribly sad, every new memory that pops into my head has me smirking and smiling. just ot think of the impact he had here, i wish i could have counted him as a personal friend in the capacity of being able to hang with him weekly. i got along well with him, talking often. and he ALWAYS found a way to get me laughing. and when i was in a good mood, he made me even better. his posts, his messages, god.. we lost a good one i hope he is finally happy.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

i'm trying to feel solace in knowing that he could read your comments and know how much everyone cared about him... but i am not. this is proving to be a lot more difficult than i thought. not trying to be a downer but i don't know what to do.

ditto.

i knew him since the Audio Galaxy days. we chatted almost every week, either on soulseek or through aim. he would always come out of leftfield with an anus joke somewhere... and it would always be funny. no matter how many anus jokes he can tell... he would always put a new and interesting spin on it.

it wasnt until this year that he wasnt on more than he usually was. last i spoke with him was about a month or two ago. he told me he has been in Pensacola and met a beautiful girl.... i congratulated him and told him that i was sincerely happy for him. saddens me that it had to end like this. :(

i have no doubt that the CD or mp3 he had playing as he went to sleep was Digweed. no doubt in my mind.
