scratchapella Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I'm at home in lovely Chicago for spring break y'all. I chose to go to this rave, Live on the Decks 4, (instead of Adam Beyer/Christian Smith at a local club). WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?First of all, it's at some bunk convention center in bumblefuck w/ $11 parking. Second, policemen up the ass, w/ full body searches and the attitude to go w/ it. Next, I tried to wade my way through all the e-tarded fools lying on the floor. I finally made it to the main decks w/ Armand Van Helden spinning (decent set), it was like a fuckin concert. No one was dancing except for me and the few devoted. Surrounded by unmoved, sullen hoochie mama teeny boppers and their entourages. WTF? People kept pushing, cursing at each other, starting fights, whatever happened to PLUR? I'm glad I finally got to see Rabbit in the Moon live (crazy sick show, everyone must go see it at least once in their life ) But definately not worth all the shit I saw the rest of the night. It's been a year since I've been to a rave, A LOT has changed. WTF happened? [sniff, sniff] I think that was my last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramadas Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I stay away from the massive raves coz they are not really raves. There is no PLUR, they are a bunch of thugs, teeny-boppers only intent on getting high, drug-dealers, and 3000 DJs so there's no real concept of a "set". There are still a few cool (illegals) thrown in the NYC area but I don't know any more than that.Twilo is now the answer for me - a nice mix between a club and a rave (what a rave used to be).------------------"I would believe only in a god who could dance."Nietzche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
