4. Didn't get to meet as many people.
5. Not making out with anyone.
6. 20 dollars for parking
7. Fuckers scalping tickets (die you capitalistic whores!)

Good.

1. The music wasn't cheesy anymore...at least from yesteryears raves
2. ATB had a solid set
3. THREE DRIVES ON A VINYL FTW
4. Meeting chill people at the bar
5. Having people complement me on my white argyle sweater and socks.
6. Not stepping over thizzin ravers when dancing.

Considering the amount of asians I saw at How Sweet It Is, it must be making a come back. lawl (btw im asian :P)

Quote of the night: "Oh shit, it's Dr. Mario."

yeah i really missed having drinking fountains. skills in SF always finds a venue with one. hell...most SF crews use venues with one. but 3$ water isnt bad at all. i only spent 5 on a redbull...got free water from people the whole night and the barman gave me a free orange juice at one point.

why did you pay 20 dollars for parking?
and why do people bitch about that? of course they overpay for parking. i parked 2 blocks away, FO FREE! i always drive and never pay for parking...even if i park 5 blocks away.
1, 4, & 5 on the negatives are pretty much personal downsides.

sorry to be so....against your list. i really am full of but i just woke up...

YOU GO TO THESE EVENTS TO APPRECIATE THE MUSIC AND DANCE

YOU FUCKING CONTRIBUTED TO THE PUDDLES OF PEOPLE ON THE DANCE FLOOR

SECURITY WAS TRYING TO GET YOU UP CUZ THEY CAN'T HAVE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PERSON LYING DOWN ON THE FLOOR

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T LINEARLY COLLECT MY THOUGHTS


i have absolutely nothing against drug use, at all. i fucking love them. but i mean come ON, you know what you did? not only did you take up room with your retardedness, you also WASTED A FUCKING TICKET that could have went to someone WHO WOULD HAVE PUT IT TO BETTER USE.

fucking sdgE%&W$%^&W$TUYDSFGJWERTJXFGm

i love you rogue.

side of room = emergency escape paths too.

but regardless....

homeboy never mentioned how well the dj's performed. he just pulled criticisms out everywhere he could.

and I don't think there was ever supposed to be more than 3 rooms.

GTFO of the trance room, then it's mad easy to enjoy a massive sober.

CUT. no 4th stage. and the house stage? you gotta be kidding me......ive seen orion underground parties with a better setup. it was literally a fucking fold out table with decks plopped on top and some cabs next to it.

all that shit aside, the 2 rooms where the majority of the shows budget went to looked pretty good. im surprised that dnb looked way better then their main room. i loved the tent setup and sound was good. main room looked like itd of been a side room or somethin. the lazer in the ball effect was awesome and i loved the blue laser =O. music in all 3 rooms was decent but house at the end of the night had the most fun music...sorry glaude =P

now of course.....the biggest thing i noticed....

ALL THE FUCKING ETARDS! holy christ. 80% of the party was sitting or laying down on the dance floors and concrete outside. it looked like someone had dropped nerve gas on the party n killed everyone. why would you pay 60-400 dollars to lay on a floor n shove vicks up your ass. that just doesnt sound like a good time to me. i dont know whats up with this shit but its gotta stop. they shouldve had security beating peoples asses cuz it shouldnt take 10 fucking minutes to cross the damn room just cuz some turds are laying on the fucking floor blocking any possible path or walkway. not only is it annoying and disgraceful to see, but its also dangerous as people get stepped on and hurt like that. some people WERE dancing....course those are all the people that got meth bombs and were tweaking balls . i enjoyed watching some tweaked out kid make the most rediculous faces for 10 mins. finally he caught me laughing and stopped lol

yeah the music at the "third area" was really good...but wasn't loud at all due to the lame set-up. screw them for putting the awesome house/jungle beats outside. the bass was still really good though.

all the budget went to the venue and the talent. im getting pissed off when crews advertise a great theme and don't pull it off. other than the DJ booths...nothing nature.

this rave made me realize how FUCKIN LAME ECSTASY IS. not worth it for the people who cant handle it, feel like shit afterwards, or dont remember half the night. there are several people i know that use it well and for the enhancements. they also have experience with it so they know all that other crap with regards to taking it and don't have a bad comedown or dont feel shitty the next day. and they can be on 4 pills BUT THEY DONT LIE DOWN ON THE FLOOR!

in the last hour, while dancing in front of the speakers for glaude, some guy was passed the fuck out against the giant pillar....stepped on his leg, he looked up, and then passed out again.

hooray for rowdy rolling his baaaaaalllls off but still dancing and eating and being alive in the morning. and having the prettiest pupil/iris ratio when the sun rose.

i danced on some cuddle puddles btw...oops.

why do you care how people spend their money. i specifically sat against the walls so that people could dance in the middle.

guess what, i go to enjoy the music and the people, i don't want to dance for 6 hours, not everyone does. don't hate on people having a different idea of fun.

faggots.

we're not saying dont sit against the SIDES; you know we prefer when people sit on the side.

but where do people flock when there is an emergency? the doors. where do the excess of people go when going through the doors is slow? the sides and along the wall underneath the overhang.

either way...with 7,000+ people in a venue....that many people sitting is dangerous.

normally im all for moving the people too inebriated to dance to the sides like you said, but at this venue the sides just happen to be the walkways and fire exits and they were being completly congested and blocked by dumbasses.i couldnt even cross the damn room in under 10 mins because of all the bodies. whats gonna happen if the roof is collapsing or an explosion happens? everyones going to die. this may be an extreme case in your opinion but the massive amount of people that died at the white snake show in new jersey would beg to difer with you.

as for this lovely statement:

'$45 is nothing to me, maybe more to you I guess.'

thats great that its nothing to you, but i dont want to pay 60 dollars to watch you overdosing in front of me. if i wanted to have blatant drug abuse shoved in my face id go down to echo park and kick it with the crackdealers and bums. i came to dance to the music i love, and enjoy myself and i shouldnt have to be babysitting your dumbass whos layin on the floor unable to control himself. by babysitting of course i mean holding back stepping all over your face cuz your completly blocking the dance floor that i payed 60 dollars to dance on.

i dont give a fuck what drugs you decide to take, afterall its a public party. but learn to handle your shit enough that i dont have to watch you make a complete ass of yourself

this is a much more articulate and detailed response then mine. i need to start getting more sleep. hey tofu...can we get a thread to be stickied about informing people on things such like this?

everything from rave basics to technicalities of fire marshals?

this forums biggest asset is its education to noobs(hell, look how far ive come along), but i feel like half of it is lost in the different threads.

it wasn't crowded at all. in terms of actual people, it was the perfect amount.

it got squished during ATBs set, of course, but in the middle-back there was good room. and upstairs there was tons of room to dance, you just couldn't see the stage if you weren't pressed against the railing.

my only complaint on the amount of people was at the end when everyone in front was just standing there. If i were a DJ....id want the crazy, energetic dancers right up front, so i can know how well my mix is. not the people just swaying or bobbing their heads. especially to funky house. that shit is music made for jumping.

nah, house room is the best sober.

cause thats where you will find the other sober people. or the people who can dance.

example: addicted electro-house room

[jimichunga]

My grievances:

• Too many guys
• Too many drugged out creepers
• Too many asians
• Why the fuck wasn't the other room open from last year?

Hahaha were they really charging $30-$40 for parking? jesus christ, street parking ftw.

I was pleasantly surprised by the line situation, expecting winterfresh/Together As One-esque multiple hour endeavor, but rather had a wait of maybe 3 or 4 people on the street side lines.

The place was crowded, but all in all, except for atb's set, there was at least a little distance between people to move around. however, the constant motion of dazed druggies running into/pushing past me and mine was getting fucking ridiculous as the night progressed. I see you're fucked up beyond comprehension and in a dazed drug stare, but come on have some fucking common courtesy (or keep catching my elbows to your abdomen).

Dear guys: do you think everyone in the party is rolled out of there mind? Making it ok to try to kiss and/or molest any girl that catches your fancy? granted there was an extreme surplus of cock at the party, but get some game ffs... your never goin to catch a girl by coming up and humping her leg in an attempt at 'dancing'

dnb was pretty tight, cept when they got too hip hoppy.

the laser set up in both rooms was pretty freakin sweet. good idea bouncing them off the mini disco balls.

green velvet wasn't as rockin as i expected, but still pretty good nonetheless. he kinda blew it with some of his track selection imho.

atb sucked bawls... i recalled a much more enjoyable set last year, but maybe it was just the ecstasy crush i had with me at that party.



The end of the nite was rather comical, starting with them stopping entrance to the main room from outside around 330....under the presupposition that it was 'over capacity.' hahah there were like 3000+ more people in there for atb's set.

anyway we head over to dnb, here a couple from Rush & Optical, the mc's build up for ONE LAST SONG.......then 3 minutes later they come back and say nevermind. hahahh.

one thing i love about being sober at a rave: when i mention that to girls, they immediately feel more comfortable around me.

green velvet sucked compared to their hype...but then again the hype was huge. i think people who weren't rolling balls noticed this better. maybe it just didnt match my dancing...but i felt like the tempo was off....was stuck between good BPM speeds.

and ATB was great listening music...didnt get me pumped at all.

I actually think other than glaudes set my favorite DJ was the one spinning in the main room at 9, the DnB room at 10, and the outside area at 11.

closing that pathway at 3 30 was BULLSHIT.

thank god i was inside the main room. my friends wanted to go to DnB and me being a good sport(nothing against DnB, my legs just cant take it at 3 30 am) went with them, but the second we got there they closed the path in front of us.

the venue people got pretty damn anxious to close it exactly at 4 AM.

Klover, reinventing new ways to pick up chicks one rave at a time.

[kilowatt88]

I had a blast! This event was perfect.
Met so many people and got a lot of pictures! I found a dimesack of weed on the floor and some girls license. Also I saw some thirteen year old kid who looked like he was ten years old.
