Rules for Ravers
Number 1. Buy your tickets early. Even if you decide not to go in the end, sell it to a friend or someone here on the board.
Number 2. Don't try to purchase, sell or exchange drugs or other illicit substances on a public board. Common sense. Number 3. Plur is dead. Still... doesn't mean you have to be an ass to others. Number 4. lineups. We hate them, but the last thing we need is for some guy to go around pushing a crowd to try to get to the front of the line quicker. Mayhem comes outta this. Number 5. Coatchecks. If it looks shotty, aka writing a number on your hand. Don't bother. Keep your belongings with you. Better you flail it then someone else taking it. Number 6. Support the scene. It's fragile now more the ever. Number 7. I know it's hard to think when you're high. so keep it in your head before. "Should I smoke inside a college?" Number 8. When you're going home. Drive safely. It's bad enough for people who went the entire night sober already. Think about driving for half an hour when you've exhausted yourself and your body is disgustingly rejecting everything the morning has to give you. Number 9. Respect the promoters. If the party did not go well, or if somethign was bugging you. Please dont' blame the promoters. They're the ones trying to organize this event for each and every one of you to enjoy. Number 10 Avoide going alone when ever possible (unless meeting people there).........simply on the grounds of personnal saftey Number 11 : Don't bring weapons to a party. Number 12. Don't share water. Ravers are sick and gross and you'll get the plague. Number 13: Dont eat any drugs u find. You never know. Number 14: When u decide to rave extremly hard.. stretch before u rave. Number 15: Keep an eye out on ure stuff at all times, and if u decide to shove it somewhere and hide it for the nite, tell a friend so you would remember to get it at the end of the nite. Number 16: Book the next day off work... no one wants to see half dead you the next day. Number 17: Never leave your water alone. Don't drink out of a bottle that isn't yours or hasn't been given to you by a friend. Number 18: Bring ur own god damn smokes. Last edited by Anjew; May 12, 04 at 03:28 PM.

the "scene" is hardly dead or fragile, it's just moving indoors to clubs.

Do not look e-Tards directly in the eye. This can cause severe pain.

Okay. For everybody complaining about PLUR being dead.
If PLUR was ever alive, it still is today. The scene is exactly the same as it was when pretty much most of you younguns started. So if PLUR is dead today, then you weren't around when it was, and as such I wouldn't really trust you as an authority. I dunno if it was ever "alive" myself. It was a cool concept that is about 14 years outdated. Christ, almighty. If people clung to the Merry Pranksters this long then the whole rave thing probably never would have happened. Let's move on kids. PLUR, dead or alive, is over. Why not try something new for crying out loud?

1) The newbies will forever be looked down on last week's newbies. Those people will be looked upon as the newbies as "bitter jaded oldschoolers" or reasonable facsimile. Most actual oldschoolers I know aren't that bitter and jaded. They just don't want to party with 15-year-olds whacked out on meth. But I digress. This has been happening even since I was a newbie (I think I can say I'm middle school now, can't I?). Being more oldschool than someone else doesn't make them in any way a better person, but the people who have been around longer have been able to see the trends and the similar behaviour patterns that have remained constant from generation to generation. Heeding to their words rather than being defensive about it would be my recommendation. Just remember that all this intra-scene bickering has been happening for a long time, and it will continue to happen for a long time, even long after you've personally decided that the scene is dead.
2) Go to a party sober. In fact, do it often. If you find you're not having as much fun at parties sober as you are ripped on drugs, it's probably a good sign that you should stop going to parties and just do your drugs in the comfort of your own home. If you don't, however, start to find your own fun sans drugs, I can pretty much guarantee that you will be trying to kick a meth addiction in somewhere between 8 months to a year's time. It's not fun, for you or anybody else around you. Take my word for it. 3) No two E caps are ever guaranteed to be alike unless you yourself made the caps or pressed the tabs. So PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop spamming boards with posts like "What is the best E" or "What are Green Chanels with Red Dots like?" As soon as word hits the pressers of what the new "in" tab is, they start pressing a whole bunch of cheap-shit stuff with whatever used to be "good E". Sadly, pill testing is still illegal in Vancouver. There used to be a group on the Island that did it, but I dunno if they still do (Island Kidz still around?). But, more than anything, if you decide to do a drug, know what its consequences are. That doesn't mean asking a bunch of ravers what the drug is like. It means going out and doing your own research. Erowid, Dancesafe, and google are all excellent resources. Please, for the love of god, use them. 4) Understand that a lot of different people see a lot of different ways of "supporting" your scene. Ultimately, the best way to do it is to go out and throw your own party. But it's a lot easier said than done. Work with people who do know what they're doing. Alienating yourself from the scene can and has in the past led to sketchy parties, flailing promoters, intrascene politic we can do without, and even death threats in various forms. Just remember that there's a whole scene out there of help. There are also a strong presence of "Cartel" promoters. Best not to piss them off, but that doesn't mean you have to be their bitch. My personal opinion is that overpriced indoor legal parties where Security seems to exist only to make sure that the only activities that are occurring are drug inducing and dancing, in my opinion, aren't very "vibey", and you'll find a lot of agreeance amongst the people who have been kicking around for a while. 5) For the love of god, these are supposed to be mass expressions of hedonism. So don't run screaming bloody murder just because someone is trying to do something different. Especially if it's of a sexual nature. Remember that all this rave shit started with the Gay Club Scene (the term "House" music comes directly from a Chicago post-disco gay club called The Warehouse). So if someone runs up and hugs you randomly and you've never seen them before, go with it. It's not every day that we get to see this kind of unbridled celebration of existence. Any questions?

Great tips!
Rule 1 is especially important. The more sales a promoter finds himself with. The more they usually put into the party production wise
