Re: Best Experience at a rave...OR WORST??
Believe it or not, my best experience at a rave was when Paul van Dyk was behind the decks. It was Zuloo 3 or 4 during Mardis Gras in New Orleans in 1999 I think. I've never experienced the feeling I had that night. It was the first time I, and what seemed like everyone else in the audience, had heard his sound. It was amazing, I didn't know music like that existed at that time. Everyone was standing up on the seat of their chairs just flipping out. Not one person there wasn't in awe at the performance he put on that night. Imagine, when trance wasn't just god awful, hearing For an Angel and his mix of Binary Finary's 1998 while trolling your balls off. Also there's something about the venue we were in, The State Palace, that's just extraordinary. I miss that place so much. I have chill bumps right now just thinking about that night.
And right behind that is when Sasha and Digweed played at the House of Blues in NOLA during their Delta Heavy tour. Their encore was so awesome, everyone on the dance took their shoes off and held them above their heads. Disco Donnie started it and everyone else followed along. I was too cool and too funny at the same time.
Worst experience was also at the State Palace. Can't remember which party it was, and I know it wasn't the DJ's or the music that was bad. I had just taken so much acid, I couldn't piss. I literally held my dick for 30 mins just trying to pee. I was so shaken up, I actually went and talked to one of the meds to see if there was a private bathroom. He looked at me, well like I was on drugs
. My buddies that were there with me that night, will never let me forget about that. So I decided to go and dance my ass off so I'd sweat it out. It worked and ended up having a blast.

First time I went to a rave was in montreal , Dave Seaman , Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish were playing , 25000 people , and it was my first time taking the magic X pills, got lost and found myself hanging out with people I didn't know , was fun but nothing special, I'll take a small itimate club with a big DJ playing over any rave.Leave a comment:

[quote=AntonyM;523438]yup. man, that's an event i will never forget.
it was the first time i ever saw all of those acts ever. i believe Underworld started, then the Chems, then Orbital, and finally The Orb.
dam, just remembering that night brings back chills.
yeah, they were playing "cities in dust" and i was totally groovin' to it, until i realized that all these gothees were staring at me. i still laugh at how stupid i was on 'e'.

I have only been to 3 and they were all at the same place in Boston. And I must say they were all positive. In the south of Boston, Chinatown... There was an abandoned building with a Chinese restaurant on the first floor and all empty apartments above. On the top floor there was a loft space throwing monthly parties. Only lasted 8 months, it was torn apart to fix up. Good timesLeave a comment:

^^ Ha ha! That was pretty much the same as mine...did my fist bean aged 13, and doing my paperound at 5 in the morning cos I was still buzzing. I had no idea what was happening but loved every second of it.
Worst rave ever was Homelands a couple of years back - too many mushrooms + gangs of scallies wandering round robbing people + losing all my mates + the most fucked guy i've ever seem pretending to be a photographer and taking endless pictures of me with his hands =

My first rave was Evolution at the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes. Djs like Dougal, Sy, Hype, Slipmatt etc. All banging happy hardcore and did one of my first gurners there when was about 15. We were all tops off and glo sticks with luminous builders jackets on. lol. It was hilarious looking back and loved it but when I hear happy hardcore now it literally makes me sick..!Leave a comment:

My first rave probably wasn't even a rave at all, considering that the city of Naples suts everything down at around 2...Anyways, it was seeing Dj Keoki and Jimmy Van M at the Florida Sports Park here in Naples.....My brother took me, he wouldn't allow me to take part in anything illegal at the time..But it was fun...At the time I had no clue who Van M was, I was just excited that something fun came to my town..Looking back on it, pretty cool to have seen Van M back in the day, and it was a good night.Leave a comment:

my first rave was at Organic 1996 with Orbital, Orb, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Meat Beat Manifest, & Loop Guru.
i've been spoiled ever since.
Wasn't that at snow summit up in Big Bear, it was a pretty sick event.
That was probably one of the first large rave since the early 90's when
LA county put the lid on after hour parties. My first rave was probably
Grape Ape or that dodgy one at raging waters. Weird times indeed.Leave a comment:

Re: Best Experience at a rave...OR WORST??
all have been good for the exception of one.
ate WAY too much acid and ended up not understanding where or who i was for many hours. it was so bad that after it hit me all i could see were colors "blending" and geometric shapes/patterns everywhere. peoples voices didn't seem like anything i had ever heard before and had no idea where i was or who i was with due to not being able to focus on ANYTHING!! many hours later when i finally came down i was home alone. i had no idea how i got there or who drove me. dont even remember being in a car for the 3 hour ride home.
come to think of it, may have not even been to a rave that night.
sad thing is that i always made fun of "those guys" who seem to party too hard and make a complete ass of themselves in a public place. my friends said at no point did i "freak out" they did say that i looked like i was scared to death the whole evening and didnt say anything the entire time.
hey who was that asking if they should take acid?Leave a comment:

Re: Best Experience at a rave...OR WORST??
oh but so on topic of best or worst.
So anyways, the story is, there's my roommate, his girlfriend, and 3 other guys all trying to pack in to her toyota celica which is like the tiniest car ever (in US terms). So this one guy J, who is a bit odd, says "I'll just ride in the trunk." So they start driving and he squeezes into the trunk of the car. This was back in college so not everyone had a car. But my current roommate and 3 friends desparately wanted to go (I was not invited I guess?). So he gets his girlfriend at the time to drive them all there (and party with them.. but even today he is always having his girlfriend drive him around for some reason)... SO they are all pumped as they get closer, and partying in the car. They get there, and all get out, and go into the warehouse and dance for like 2 hours, then one of them goes "Holy shit, we forgot to let J out of the trunk!" They just ran out to the rave and were so excited they forgot he was in there....
So they go back to the car, and I guess he snuck out of the car somehow after a bit.....Leave a comment:
