Merry Christmas from me to FnK
3 or 4 years ago, I walked into my first rave. It was truly an experience. I was surrounded by strangers that i could comfortably call friends. At a rave, the line up was where i could leave my worldly problems at rest for 8 or 9 hours until I decided i was ready to handle them once again in the morning. I've always wanted a place where it always felt like Christmas, and through Raves and Parties (or whatever you want to all it) I found a place where I could easily find a hug through someone I barely know. But, I was always sure that between me and the almost stranger that I currently had my arms wrapped around, I knew that between the both of us, that hug meant more than anything in the world.
3 or 4 years ago, I discovered LoungeX and TeamHardCore. An online community that i could captivate myself within and keep in contact with all of my strangers and see if i would meet them yet again in our playground of darkness, eager to say hi and hug. Through these online communities, we stayed in contact with these strangers even if we individually decided to stop partying all together. Now that loungex and their people have evolved into fnk'ers, and now that another year is upon us, there has been a lot of change, but in the same breath i can easily say that there has been no change at all.
Yes, ticket prices have sky rocketted, but people are still cracking the same old pacman joke, the jaded ravers still exist and are still dictating to the "newbies" how to party, and regardless of how hard promoters try to either donate back to the scene or swindle a quick buck off of the "party kids" by bringing down world class dj's, it'll never be enough to get past the name "mc rave" or "just another party". Yes, it is still the same old rave scene. But that's why i love it so much.
My Point? 4 years ago, i can't really say i started a journey in the rave scene, but instead I found a home within it. And i can no longer say that you, the people of form-kaos.com, are strangers. I cannot say that you are just friends; You have been my family since the first time I realized i could just leave my problems at the door.
Guys & Girls, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays. Thank you for providing me with what i could not provide myself. Thank you for being the perfect family to my friends who do not know what a real family feels like. We might not always make ends meet, but why should things always be perfect like that? Thank you for staying with the rave scene (even if just by posting) and keeping it alive for one more year. I'm sorry that i can't remember everyone's name, that it takes a little time for me to remember what your face looks like, or where i last saw you, but believe me when i honestly say that I keep on partying because of you, and i hope to party long enough to be able to remember at first glance.
Form & Kaos, Merry Christmas.
