Darkrave is the closest thing to a rave I have encountered in a 19+ environment.
Isn't the TAZ ethos part of raving?
I did find that the lack of predictability in comforts (venue, washrooms) got tired very quickly for me. I'm not trying to change people's lives, just want to have a good time on the weekend.
That said, there's something fresh and exciting about a true rave. |

that just contributes to the blatant misrepresentation of the word.
there is no "rave music". there are no "rave clubs". there were "raves", and if there still are raves, they're over-commercialized (which dilutes the actual rave-aspect) because they don't have the draw they did in the past, due to the development of the club scene.
raves were underground, and the locations were rarely publicly announced. very exciting, could be broken up at any second, and you had to run for fear of getting arrested. you knew shouldn't have been there, but you knew that you were a part of something revolutionary.
any city that has a scene probably had raves in the past, and anyone that went to those raves still feels the itch to get out to clubs, because they were a part of what many people still don't understand today.
watch "Groove" if you want a good idea of what a rave is. |

They still happen in wharehouses around the city. I havent been to any recently, but Michelle (LittlePoonzgirl) has. At least 3 or 4 times since Jan too I am sure.
One was broken up by the cops... so it switched locations. The one she was just at 2 weekends ago never got broken up, which was fantastic she said.
You're right, they're not really publically announced. You have to know where to look or who to talk to often find out about them. |

DarkRave used to be so much better when it was at the Big Bop. We used to go every month religiously, now we go once in a while, if that. Funhaus is too small for the amount of people Darkrave brings in. |
