there are some things i miss, and i may start a thread about those, but right now i feel compelled to list some of the reasons why i'm glad to be a part of club life now and not rave life . 1. not leaving the party feeling sticky. my clothes were always unbelievably dirty; how'd they get that way? where did that rave slime come from? i can answer part of it in number 2: 2. having places to sit. it's true, they're often taken, but it's the thought that counts. and when a seat is free and i've been dancing for a while, it's absolute bliss . at raves, everyone's relegated to the floor. 3. having toilet paper in the bathrooms, even at the end of the night. i used to bring packages of tissues with me to every party, 'cause the bathrooms would always run out. 4. not being treated like an animal. ravers are abused. i was, and they still are. kept on lines for a ridiculous amount of time even when holding tickets (though i hear some people stand for shit like that even as they get older ), only to get into a party that ends a few hours too early. 5. not being treated like as much of a criminal, at any rate. some of those searches were way too invasive, if you know what i mean . at least now they're not as rough, it seems to me. anyone else have anything to add ?
