Ok, this was my first rave in three years and it was definitely a better experience than my first. Nevermind that the bus took FOREVER to pick us up... we didn't get to the venue till about 11:30. I did think that since the venue was at a boys and girls club that it brought out a high school dance vibe.
I thought the trance was kinda flat all night. I spent a good amount of time in each room--loved what I heard in the D&B room, not so much digging the trance. I would come out of the D&B room after about 20-30 minutes and would swear they were playing the exact same trance from when I left. I wish I could have danced more in the D&B room but the floor was so wet in there I kept slipping and sliding. Plus, I'd say it was a good 5-8 degrees cooler in the trance room (which isn't saying much).
Found some pills around 12:30 and dropped then. Wasn't my best roll, but it defiantly lifted my spirits and made me feel less self conscious. Had fun meeting Nigee, Drifter and Bambi. Loved and appreciated every light show I received, it helped my roll a lot.
I actually enjoyed the walk back to the cars. Gave me a chance to cool off. It also brought me back to when I first starting rolling and my friends and I would just go on long ass walks, listen to iPods and smoke cigarettes. Met some cool people on the walk back too.
All in all, I had fun. I wish I could go to another one soon, but I'm moving to Colorado for the summer. When I come back to the bay in October, I definitely want to go to another rave.
