sorry da, but...

TIMMEY!!

those people make me angry. like to the point that i wanna punch the fucking plur outta them!

I, for one can care less about what you wanna wear to a party, be it an angel, glitter girls, a guy dressed up like a chick or vice versa whatever you want. That's what made the rave scene what it was. The only issue I have is control. If you wanna do 'subtances' at a party, go ahead. But control yourself! The key is CONTROL!!! You can do your stuff, but dont be flopped out on the floor waiting for the next guy with glow sticks to come by and blow you up. Things can get way out of hand and that's where the problems arise. The stuff I saw in San Francisco reminded me of the days back here in Miami; 1999-2001. Things were getting out of control, so that's why you don't see such things here anymore. Unfortunately this also gives the music played at these parties a bad name. You tell someone "I listen to trance" and they automatically affiliate it with drug use and raves and scenes from those pictures. That is one of the reasons why here in Miami you don't have too many 'trance' parties anymore. Associate 'trance' music (or techno music for the un-educated ) and drugs and you have a recipe for problems. So they don't want to deal with those problems anymore and basically not have it anymore. The only exceptions are the big name DJ's like PVD, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, about once every 2-3 months, and rarely with the local legends Edgar V and George Acosta. On my trip to Amsterdam for Trance Energy, you knew people were doing stuff. The big difference was "CONTROL"! Controling your actions but at the same time having a good time.

My 2 cents....

Well said, bro.

oh man those pics are crazy. I didn't know ppl still dress like that thought that was over with.

+1 about the control part.
pff In NYC the bouncers barely let you have any glowticks/photons out and come after you to put them away

+1! The clothes didn't bother me, it's how they acted GEEZ...so it made what they were wearing worse...their actions + clothing made them look like absolute

In memory of DarkAngel 1976 - 2009

these pictures are like what i thought of back in the day before i had any clue of what was going on at these types of parties... this is like, how i imagined "ravers" to dress when i was like 12 years old and heard stories about "raves" and whatnot... i still cant believe these pictures were taken in 2006

i love these pix!
4 u old pro's this is not what EDM is about but being that my hubby is a light lover (it started w/ glow sticks) - i enjoy their unique expression and LMAO when one day their own kids see these pictures.

The Scene in SF is so much better then what you saw at The Skills event.
Skills events bring out those people.
If you went to a club event you would see something totaly diffent. The E-tards hang out in the back of the club and not in your way.
