I was activated in 1998 and still going strong, infact I throw electronic events now. Keep it real, keep it love, keep it underground.

Namaste' and Eugene love,

I'm still raving (since '92). Not nearly as much as before and in a different capacity. The scene has indeed changed so much. So I do my best to keep the spirit of the rave alive by working more "behind the scenes" than out on it. Years of abusing my body has taken it's toll. I no longer am able to dance all night without worry. But my spirit stays strong. I use my talents to bring that joy to others.

I would go to more if I could, its hard to find a fun vibe these days without being witness to crackhead city. I'm going to Karma at the end of June up in the sunshine coast. I thought of going to Shambala, but I really dont like parties with more than a couple thousand people. too much of a scene, not enough of a vibe. But who knows, I'm into trance, house and breaks, a combination that is not always easy to find these days. I dont like listening to the same beat all night, this is problem here in B.C. as most parties here seem to cater to just one form of music without mixing it up. That sucks and is borng to me. But do I still rave? You know it! my living room is my favorite dance floor these days....

Yea, Yea, I've been Raving since '92. With a few years gap in the late 90's. I don't drug any more either. I would love to go to Ibiza this summer, ooo I love that minimal and electro sound, fuck Techno has even been revampt. I get all my music from beatport.com, fuck prog. house even still kicks ass. I am telling ya, I think '06 was a great renasaunce for techno, every johnra besides psytrance and Jungle got revampt, so the Europian Festivals this summer are gonna kick ass! Ok, Detriot and Miami will always kick ass, the Detriot festival is happening right now! Techno forever!

But of course! Started in 91and still goin'... PLUR!

first rave in '94. Started djing in '95.

I dropped out of the Kandy scene when I noticed everyone was mostly raving to take drugs and the attendees were 16 - 25, so i felt a lil out of place . Plus, i didn't like prog trance which pretty much dominated in the late 90's.. Imma house -techno nut.
So, started going to Burning Man.

Now burning man is getting so cliquey. I wanna start going back to raves and getting more rave type gigs.

Winterfresh in coming in Dec!! (L.A.)

Since 91' Been in the scene in California (north and south), Utah (yes utah, Some of the best ever) and South Florida.

been doing it since 91 and my heart is still in it. do it still go? well that is up to what you define as a "rave". when i started, the word "rave" wasn't popular. back then they were called "undergrounds" or just plain "parties" so in those terms, yes i still go. do i attend what one defines as a "rave" with glow sticks plastic beads and those GOD DAMN PACIFIERS!!!! then no, i don't go to them anymore. in fact, those three reasons (and there are more i can't think of, but there are many) i mentioned were reasons my friends and i got out of the scene. the scene became what you see as a joke on TV. what ppl that have never been to a "rave" make fun of. do i blame them? hell no! i'm making fun of the scene with them. the uniform that includes beads and glowsticks is so fucking ridiculous, that an old school head like myself would shun the scene. i don't want to, but i can't help it. and i don't stand alone in this either. all my peeps that were there back in the day HATE what the "kandy Kids" made it, and whats that you might ask? A FUCKING JOKE!!! yes, you look/looked like a fucking idiot wearing that outfit. however, as i said in the opening of this conversation, my heart is still in it. i know i will die with it in my heart. i owe my closet friends that i still have today to the scene. i had the best years of my life during those crazy and blurry years. god bless all of you that started way back when and are still doing it. keep the scene alive, but for god sacks, take that fucking pacifier out of your mouth!!!!!!!!! because ppl are making fun of you for a good reason... you look like a fucking FOOL!!!!!!!!!

I began raving in 1999, and went strong until about 2001, then I moved to Portland, kinda dropped out of the scene, for various reasons, and now am looking to jump back in and reconnect with old faces, and make new friends! :D I don't really know anyone in Portland, but would love to meet peepz and make friends here. :) Just hit me up! :D
