Best Experience at a rave...OR WORST??

[trick12]

So i'm sure about everyone here has been to a rave...my best was hanging out at the booth with Djs such as Sharam and James Zabiella, like standing in there next to them overlooking all the people,,,Zabiella was crazy,,I mean this guy was 100 percent into his job...my worst was getting invited to an afterparty at a warehouse that ended up being a dopehouse,,,with junkies sticking needles in their arms and stuff...i left after 1 minute and the guy at the door wouldnt let me leave he though i would rat them out or sth....I said screw this man,,,just let me leave and i'll forget all about it...and when i finally convinced him i look back and my freind was gone somewhere inside...i went to look for him and he was scoring some from a huge black dude,,,i mean my freind is not into drugs but the guy walked up to him and said wannna get some dope...he just got scared to tell the guy that he didnt want any and was like yeah what you got...But finally we got out safe.... screw this....

Illegal warehouse party, a soundsystem, some lights and usually illicit narcotics.
Guess it was and is a UK and US thing, I reckon raves started in the UK, cause
they didn't surfaced on the west coast in cali till about 89 or 90.

Here is what Wikipedia had to say

For other uses, see Rave (disambiguation).
A rave (or rave party) is an all-night dance event where DJs and other performers play rave music and other types of electronic dance music for dancers, with the accompaniment of colored lights, projected images, and laser effects. Popular rave dance styles include breakdancing, popping and locking, glowsticking, liquid dancing, and poi. Rave parties are often associatated with the use of "club drugs" such as ecstasy, methamphetamine, and ketamine

Charming how the drugs refs had to be thrown in at the end. but the link below brings
up the page on wikipedia referring to the history of the parties for those truly interested
and not just attempting to be cheeky.

any time i say i'm going to see some djs people ask me "what is that, a rave?", i say no it's a club night/event.

but hey, i have been to some sketched out events before that i would definetly consider as raves.

i can't really say that i've had a bad time at anything as long as the music was good...i just go with at least two other friends so no matter how sketched out things get you at least have some people you know with you.

a threesome with 2 super models from Spain and Greece in some deejays dressing room, the 10 capsules of E and a couple cases of whippets were fun too...it ended up back at their hotel for a couple more days. Oh, I miss Miami Beach in the winter during Fashion Model week.

I only went to them in 2001 and by then the 'raves' were legal. Still held in warehouses, with lights, soundsystems, DJs, but ticketed events. There were smaller ones that were really illegal, but they were rare.

Then the warehouse locations got superseded by indoor stadiums and those slowly degenerated into a circus for underaged white trash. There used to be this delineation between 'ravers' and 'clubbers.'

Too many good moments, but one that stood out was in the forest early in the morning when the Orb was playing. It began to drizzle very lightly and I was flipping and every raindrop was a sparkling emerald gem in the air.

Not entirely bad but I was pretty fucked: Spending a few hours in a tent staring up at the shadows, stepping out into what I thought was a circus dome (WTF did these cars come from, and why were they in a circus?!) only to realize the night sky had joined with the skyline and I was in a volcanic crater. And then walking around seeing these grasses grow out of the vocalnic rock and thinking I was walking on the seabed. Walking to the edge of the crowd and looking up to see some hugeass topless dude blowing hugeass a horn on a stage and I couldn't decide if I was seeing things until somebody told me Juno Reactor was playing.
