I grew up in the fort Lee area, so the city was literally right there and staring us in the face every day. I dont know where in Jersey youre from, but being that close leaves you with no desire to seek out many other venues besides NYC venues. Sure there were lots of house parties etc. around my way and to be truthful, I never really knew any ravers in my hood(Englewood Cliffs-Union City) The closest thing to a rave i ever went to was a party thrown in a wharehouse in Paterson. The crowd was your general mix from that area wich covered the spectrum, but no glowsticks or trance music.
