When did this happen or has it always been this way? b/c it seemed like back when we used to have interferance parties @ system everyone came together and supported the DJ's and had a lot of fun together. For the most part we all were friends or atleast friendly. I really miss that. |
I really miss it too.
TOTA became too big too quickly for me. Although I love meeting new people I just found that the sense of community became lost. I don't post much here anymore, perhaps I should though.
Some of you asked what happened to PLUR. It still exists, just not as much around here. Lots of people seem to be jaded, and this isn't just in the party scene. I think it's also sign of the times. Why is popularity so important to so many people? And why do these people cut others down to make themselves feel better? The 'rave' scene used to be a place where people could feel safe being themselves. Then it grew too big, changed into a more club scene, and the sense of community changed. Recently I've found more joy from spending time with good people rocking it out to talented locals than waitng for a big rockstar headliner. For those of you who seek PLUR, lead by example and you all get a big hug from me. For those of you who choose to leave PLUR behind, I suggest you start thinking about karma. PLUR isn't about plastic beads or candy kids, PLUR is about a set of values. In the past few months I've lost my cellphone 3 times, and had it returned to me from people I didn't know each time. Last night I lost my wallet at the docks. By the time I realized this, my wallet was already at the front booth. I want to thanks whoever it was that returned my wallet.
PLUR still exists for those who believe in it. And please, treat others as you would like to be treated.
