^^^^ Well said there Cint-ho..I've had everything happen to me from needles falling off...to the power going out...to the stage i was on colapsing. <<< that hurt...a lot. We do our best to put on the best show, preformance, entertainment we can. some times it's great...sometimes it's not so great... but the effort is made for the love of what we do and the music we play.

Rule: No matter how good you are at light shows never cut in on someone who is in the middle of giving one........however feel free to help but stay to the sides of the persons head

Anjew · #53 (**permalink**) May 26, 04

light shows are funny.

next rule:
the nammers aren't THAT scary.
the people that have partied with them will know.
they actually have more fun than some of you that hate on the new ravers.

but i'm sure the majority of you are being sarcastic.

the TA rule (for those that have partied long enough to hate the newbs):

or somtimes you are feeling sick, like having the flu and wanna just hurl on the mixer and pass out and die, so you arent doing that great of a job, at least you are still their and doing your best!

so forgive whenever some one makes a mistake, everyone out there is just there to have fun

rule number ??? dont frown at parties, whats the point of going unless you are gonna smile... lighten up and have a blast!!!

if you see some one OD then tell the promoter so that he can walk them a few blocks away and get them some freash air and call the ambulance and not mess up cool little venues...
nothing specific, dont take it the wrong way, it has just happend to alot of small places

Jen-E-03 · #60 (**permalink**) May 28, 04

RULE XX: NO PUKING ON THE FLOOR, BE CREATIVE ENOUGH TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO IT

RULE XX+1: Watch your friends. Don't let them go dropping like flies due to heat exhaustion, or do anything stupid they wouldn't normally do. Make sure they are safe and they will do the same for you. You are responsible for your friends. Don't like it? Don't party with dumb-asses.

RULE XX+2: Don't use "Did you drop tonight?" as a conversation starter. It makes you look like you are one of those people who can only have fun high.

RULE XX+3: DON'T HATE!!! Newbs are kewl too. They bring new stuff to the scene all the time. So what if you've been raving for years and years, newbs probably would have beeen to, they were just never introduced to it until recently, and soon enough they will be old school. Time flies. *** A word to the newbs. Don't go bitching about not having ID, no one who does cares. When you are of age and have ID, there will be times when you don't want to be hanging around with 16 year olds too. And last and MOST IMPORTANT!!!Have a little respect (This goes for everyone!!).

AWOL · #63 (**permalink**) May 30, 04

Don't ask the DJ when the NEXT DJ is coming on or if he can play some trance because what he's playing sucks.

yeah, if the person ODing lives long enough to be walked a few blocks away from the venue.

*gorgeous* · #65 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 04

seriously who would eat something they found on the floor... if you cant even share your water what would make you think you can eat something you found on the floor??? SOme people...

Anjew · #66 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 04

^^
I think when you are fawked up.... you're not thinking right
you figure hey free drug... i wanna get more high

it's kinda just like seeing a guy leave 10 bucks for coat check...
or people paying 2 hundread dollars for water...
not really thinking.

*gorgeous* · #67 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 04

i have more common sense then to eat some cap i found on the floor... in a baggy or not... i would sell it... that would be the best plan...

FireCrotch · #68 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 04

Watch your drug consumption. The worst thing in the world is when u just hit your peak and the parties over cause some Nooby doesn't know how much they can handle and start to convulse. EX. GROOVe

Anjew · #69 (**permalink**) Nov 28, 04

Rule Number 1 looks pretty good eh?

Mr Ektion · #70 (**permalink**) Nov 28, 04

#19: Wash your hands. The sinks handles can't be THAT dirty because EVERYONE's afraid to use the sink at a rave. So they gotta be ~practically untouched! After you piss, give your paws a scrub. Use the clean paper towels to ensure your cleanliness. You don't wanna go around touching things, people, cigarettes/joints, waterbottles, glowsticks, faces/other people's hands... with pee hands. It's just gross, and being clean just feels better.

#20: Don't be a snob. Listen fuckers. When you're walking down an empty hallway with about 2 others walking in the opposite direction, smile or say hi. Atleast make eye contact or SOMETHING. What's the point of avoiding contact? Are you some sort of asshole or superior being?! You're BOUND to run into those people again, if not at the party, than some other time in your life. Be a fucking person, and keep your eyes to the people. not the floor. Posers are losers in denial.

#21: Speak Positively. When you slander anything, or talk in a negative way, you don't know who you're offending. 'i don't like trance' could get you into an hour long talk. Instead, be like 'I'm more into breaks'. Shut your god damned mouth instead of shit slandering people. And if you're going to shit talk, assume responsibility for the things you say. The world doesn't need to know who you don't like and why. Be Nice.

#22: YOU ARE NOT THE SHIT. Who you know, and how important you are doesn't matter. One day you'll find yoruself at the door to a rave with a noob security guard who doesn't give a shit who you are. And if you're not level-headed about it, you're going to look like an ass. If you've heard the term 'don't bite off more than you can chew' well, make some sorta parallel that you can follow when it comes to the crap that comes out of your mouth. In regards to reputation, honesty in the rave scene is hard to point out, but it goes a long way. A helluva lot further than lying atleast. Your reputation will not cover up for your lies.

#23: If you're going to start promoting, ask other promoters for tips of advice. Don't do a show on your own. You might lure some unsuspecting noobs to your party and your show might suck. And they might never come back to another rave. All of the bigger promoters in the city are usually supportive of other smaller companies who take the time to actually DO a party. So, ask them what you're doing wrong, before you do it. No harm in asking, only humility. And if you can't get past that, good luck flyering.

plur is not dead - plur shall live on. its stereotypical people that dont think its what it used to be (which it isnt), and just because of that everything is dead in their eyes, pessimistic.

plur shall live on. and live on it shall.

Heh, although you've certainly got the right idea, if I do this it's because I'm feeling shy, awkward, and/or high, not because I feel superior. I'd definitely be open to conversation or whatever (I always am), I just feel too self-conscious to really do anything about it. It's a horrible catch-22, but it happens. I'm sure there are others like me, although non-extroverted ravers are certainly in the minority.

Sniper · #74 (**permalink**) Nov 28, 04

^I'm the smae sometimes at raves.....though ussually I'm prettyu open and easy to talk to or start a convo with........if for some reason I'm not I'm probably either too high, in a rush to catch a dj set or coming down and not in the mood to talk to anyone (I ussually justy like to sit and listen to the music when I start to harsh come down)

agreed,

If you see a nammer death circle dont be afraid to join in, They are always happy to have another for the team

if you ever get the opportunity to meet the Fan Man, let him fan you down, what do you got to loose? Nothing beats an Invisible tug-o-war with Him...man that guy is strong for his age
