Man I wish the rave scene didn't die... I was looking around for some good ones coming up and they're all in some venue I never heard of with a buncha local kids for dj's that I've also never heard of... Long gone are the days of 10 headliners

they should definitely bring back the old school warehouse parties....... how sick would that b !! considering i have never really been to any of the warehouse parties in NY, it would b coo to experience it

At Countdown 2003, I was at the 21+ room listening to a DJ named Old Dirty Frank. He played something called Acid Drum and Bass I think. After his set, I eagerly asked him for a cd. When he was about to hand it to me, he looked at my eyes, laughed, gave me a smirk, and signed in the cd box "hope your ups and downs are in bed - Frank"

haha thats fuckin awesome lol...

yeah i agree they should bring back the parties i had so much fun goin to those events.. the ones thrown by sympty werent really 'warehouse' parties though bc it was in a 'venue' the warehouse parties im talkin about were the really really underground ones that only 50-60 people attended (if you've ever seen the movie groove, thats the type of party im talkin about) where you had to go into a record store and strike up a convo with one of the guys which led to talkin about parties, he would then lead u to one of the managers, that would lead you to a flyer w/ no address on it, and maybe a cell phone number.. you'd call that number and someone would meet you somewhere and slip you directions like it was freakin drugs or somethin haha then at night you'd make your way across the railroad tracks, hop a few fences, listen closely for bass drums around you and finally reach your destination.. i've only been to two parties like that and its insane.. theres people doin graffiti on the cement walls, people dancin.. it doesnt compare to any club experience.. back in those days the promoters were anti-club...

damn

.... i come for the music.

It's practically like that now. Like the psy-trance parties these days, you have to be on some secret mailing list from some shaman and have to be verified before you see the party listing. A psy-trance dj I spoke to at a tsunami party told me about it.
I agree though, the atmosphere at raves are truly different that normal clubs. People talk about vibes, and it is the vibe that make or break a rave party (i.e. how people act). The plur thing might sound kinda gay, and sometimes it is, but it also enriches the party atmosphere. These days I love Armin, etc, but I get pushed around a lot when dancing. Doesn't happen at raves or least people apologizes

hahahaha yeah i know what youre sayin the vibes are often great.. i bumped into a few people at a rave while dancin and they just smiled at me and put their hand out to high five me w/ a crazy grin on their face haha everone was lovin it even though we were all steppin on eachothers feet.. if you ever bump into someon at spirit, or crobar, or avalon, you'll get an elbow to the eye or some shit like that haha..

It'll be a question long pondered... Why do people get mad when you bump into them at the club... It's like going to a water park, and then getting pissed cuz you got wet on a ride. If somebody bumps into me, I fuckin laugh and smile and figure they're whilin' out as much as I am and havin a blast. BLEH. damn getmadwhenyoubumpintothem'ers
