Re: raves..

i don't like raves anymore. i have gone in the past but nowadays i tray to stay away from it like a plague. ugh. its annoying now. i guess 'cause i'm older but whatever. i don't like the candy kids at all. wtf look at yourselves. yeah i've gone mangled quite a few times at raves but i never carried a backpack, wore candy anything, or had a pacifier in my mouth or wore those redicuously huge white micky mouse gloves. ugh look at yourselves.

annoying candygirl: omg omg hiya! why are you guys walking?!?!?!?
me and my friend: going to get a drink.
annoyingcandygirl : you should be dancing and having fun and stuff blah blah blah. here have a sticker and smile and dance and stuff!!!! (the sticker was the Dell E logo).
my friend: go look at yourself in the mirror.
me: LMAO!

then we walked away. cruel yes but still funny. raves were fun when i was young. when cracked out those raver girls are sooo yummy. lol aah good times.

Re: raves..

Yeah this old wharehouse used to be my second home on the weekends for a few years, that place and the once in awhile massives that would happen outdoors in tents and huge mainstages. Raves were somthing i had a passion for...cause ive always been into the music, and then when i found out that theres "concerts" that play my kind of music i went nuts, those few years were the funnest times of my life so far. But now there are no raves here in town...so its now just bars and house party get together things....oh well..one day i'll go to europe and see how it's really done.

Re: raves..

of course I used to go. usually that was the only time you could see bid time dj's in their real enviornment. actually, its too basd cause now that we dont have them, alot of dj's dont have very many venues to play at.

Re: raves..

I can't believe I completely forgot to mention the Storm Raves that Frankie started up in Brooklyn which is one of the originators of the scene.... man, they were held in such random places from behind a supermarket to under a bridge!

[nbpgt]

yeah ive been before as did everyone else.. i dont miss em much through... the waits in lines, seeing kids qhacked, heat, overcrowding, & i dont do anyhting any more.. i would prefer goign to a club & jam out.. the 1 thing i do miss is the energy some people brought to their sets, & the amount of sound they had.. we dont have any / many systems in dallas that have world class sound..

also miss the anything goes thinkin of some events

Re: raves..

used to go until the place near me shut down some months back for a variety of code violations...

man there was ALWAYS some wack $hit there though...but seeing kids all cracked out in the corner was pretty disturbing too..and then the ones acting like they knew it all when it was probably only their 2nd rave they've ever been too

these days also up in NE every lineup looks the same half the time no matter who's throwing the party...so why go sometimes? :?

nothing says a good time like pools of cracked out 13 year olds.

Re: raves..

Went to two this summer. They are pretty lame. The drugs pretty much rules the scene. Artificial feeling of euphoria is not what electronic music is about.

Re: raves..

Not sure you would call them raves but we have free outdoor parties every summer around Brighton, either on the Downs or on the Beach. The DJs who put them on are excellent, nice crowd, usually around 100. They are very skilled in avoiding the police, always clear up etc etc.

It is so nice to party outdoors and they are a welcome change from the corporate clubbing scene and all it entails!

Re: raves..

I've been to some really good raves in the past years, and seen some awesome talent, but haven't been to hardly any since around 2000. Nowadays its a once-a-year event, Peloquin, myself and crew head up to Seattle for Freaknight on halloween weekend. But after a while, you just get too burned out on it all.

Good times, and usually good music, though. Truly the best environemnt to roll. :ROFLMAO:

Plus, who can deny the energy in an environment such as this:

Re: raves..

I?ve been to a few raves in germany years ago.

Sometimes i remeber the energy floating when 30000 people are crying....

Re: raves..

In Holland, raves have never really gone away.

Obviously depending on what you understand is a 'rave'. In summertime we can choose between a few raves per weekend. Some have managed to stay undergound, the larger part has commercialised and it's questionnable whether they can still be called 'rave'...

At the commercialised ones, you can see all sorts of people: old and young, hippie and skinhead, drugged and drunken....

In clubs in Holland there's probably a higher % on drugs... Personally, I love the big events. Mainly because of the atmosphere and the line up is normally quite good (last year on 1 event: Sasha, Digweed, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Matthew Dekay, Markus Schulz.....)

Try to beat that in a clubnight!
