Over here in Finland, there are plenty of illegal parties. In the summer, the hippies have their forest parties (with extremely weird finnish psychedelic trance..) on just about any weekend, but you have to know people to find them There are also a couple of illegal allnight indoor parties in Helsinki, these are usually entry with a flyer only (because then the organizers can say its not a public happening and if no alcohol is sold, the police usually just tell people to turn the volume down).

The drug use is a bit higher than in legal club events, but the fact that these go on all night might have something to do with it too.. I dont consider it all that extreme, I dont think most people do generally more than 3-4 pills a weekend..

I'm surprised how many havent gone to one, but I guess it's different all over the world.

I've been to about 6 since 1999, and they rule!
Or at least the ones in South Africa did.
Top notch line-ups, incredible venues and no less than 12 hours of Trance House/Hard House/Funky House bliss.
Whatever your flavour, they could cater

Ive been to well over 100 since i started in 98'. I have been to tons of illeagle warehouse partys but the majority of the raves in vancouver have MASSIVE DJ lineups, legal permits, insane light shows, and hundreds of thousands of dollars invested into each party.

Anyone who says that if somthing is legal isnt a rave needs to get with the times. With the expansion of the electronic music scene so expands the "Rave" scene. Shit is diffrent now then it was 10 years ago....deal with it

hhhmmm yeah seems most people are into clubbing here, i figure to each his own,the two,clubbing and raving,are two very different experiences,clubs tend to catch more high class dj's have more alcohol,less every ones a friend attitude and more pick up attitude rave tend to more every ones your pal,multiple room,every one take e and drink water attitude i happen to like them both but i suggest every one going to at least one to see what you think hehe
besides you havnt lived till youve seen all us kandi kids and cyber kids running around

If you count the parties with the legal permits, I went to a rave last month - 12 hrs outdoors. It was fun, defintely younger and friendlier than some clubs. I was proud of myself because I had a great time and did not take any drugs.

well, there are two kinds of parties here in calgary, legal parties, and the illegal ones

the illegal ones are fun
