old ravers
I think it's funny that a 27-year-old is worrying about being too old to go out. When I was 27 those were some of my best clubbing years! I think the age issue matters more in certain places than others. I've been going out for many years, mostly in Berlin, and I don't think that most people even notice that I'm not the youngest in the crowd. Even if they figure out that me and my crew are older, it really doesn't matter. The older you get, the less you care about what other people think. Many of the DJs/producers/artists that I enjoy listening to are well into their thirties, and showing no signs of stopping. (OK, it's slightly different if you're making your living from the club scene, but I hope you see my point). Very often, I find that it's the people who are 30 and older who really know how to party, since they're old pros at it! I've been to many club events where I've noticed the older clubbers really letting go, having fun, spending cash, and not being as self-conscious as the younger folks. Also, dance music is enjoyed most when it's heard in the environment that it was made for. If you don't go where that music is being played, then you're missing out on the whole experience!
