raves..

[san]

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? :?

it looks the same cause 10 to one its a stuck on earth party,
local 13 been throwin some good partys...

SOE sucks. they always have been shady and has sucked. i always have been weary of their parties and its come to truition everytime. they can go fuck themselves everytime. whistle 4. lmfao! hope you have fun in one of the MANY e-puddles. thats what the guv sees and its sad.

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..

[nbpgt]

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!

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..

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..

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..

its the opposite here. more raves less clubs

Re: raves..

Nothing these days can ever compare to the raves that occurred in the early to mid 90s. I used to be big in the Baltimore/DC/Philly rave scene and was always at the Thursday night FEVER parties which Scott Henry & Feelgood started too. All the Ultraworld, Sonic Soul and Fusion raves were great memories. I miss the Tripotronic warehouse parties which Modern Music used to hold as well.

Re: raves..

Yah, i used to be a big party (rave) kid. would go more, but have not been around decent parties the last few years. Philly scene used to be phat in the mid-late 90's. I'm goin to WHISTLE too, I'm psyched as hell, it's gonna be madness (which is what i miss about that scene, just all sorts of crazyness ) Hopefully i'll see alot of philly heads I ain't seen in years. Disko- are/were you a philly party kid? Def lookin forward to tha philly massive

Re: raves..

I used to go quite a bit when I was in my mid 20s. I was fortunate enough to experience a few underground parties in Brooklyn back in the early 90s when it first came to the states. Like everyone else who was at one time a raver, I burned out. Plus the scene in the NYC area really became dominated by drugs-- seeing a bunch of 16 year olds in K holes turned me off. BUT, it led me to this point, so it is all good.

i actually got into raves after i got into music, digweed is what brought me into the scene believe it or not ( most ppl tend to mature, or evlove into prog) a lot of old school ravers bug out when i play heavan scent in my car ( its an "old" rave song)
ther are still fuck heads getting fucked up, but not as much anymore,
most of them keep it under control..
but evemn the rave scene now is more commercial then it was... its not as underground, and whenit is.. its not as fun... ravers are SHADY mother fuckers...
i just like to go to these partys with friends and bug out like crazy...
i was surprised to hear the best electro set ever @ a rave, absolut mix @ demara nyc, keoie, was spinnign, at first half the ravers looked soo freakin confused, then they got into it,
i was shcoked when he spun, fleix the house cat, watching cars go by ( sahsa)
i got into raves by my x-boyfriends...
