Save Our Dance Nation!

 Coolness: 48300 | I found this online and I think it is definately worth reading.
"State of the Nation" Recently, our dance movement has been under a fiercly competitive attack from all sides. The once loving family of united party people have apparently begun to faction off into many small groups of promoters/ dj's/ and social scenes. We can't have this! The never ending search for money, success, and prestige can drive nearly anyone down to an all time low. Promoters skip town without paying for services rendered. Cliquish groups of people snub those around them. Innocent party people drive long distances and pay large amounts of money only to find an empty warehouse, or dj's that weren't that were never on the flyer to begin with. Promoters give interviews to the press about our scene in order to turn a higher profit. All of these things and more are going on around us all the time. Obviously this kind of information is a sure fire bummer, but it's these kinds of problems that will eventually destroy our dance nation forever! Many of us believe that this movement is a meaningful one, full of love and good people, NOT a money-making business venture. We have the potential to come together from all walks of life (regardless of race, creed, religion, or sexuality) and unite in mind, body, and spirit. It's up to us to make this happen; without our collective participation, love, trust, and support, we are nothing. Here are some suggestions from your friends: Do question the cover charge you pay and where that money goes Do question the intentions of a party larger than 500 people Do question your support of negative people, dj's, and promoters Do question your association with people who only seem to talk about money and/or drugs Do support a variety of dj's and parties Do know your promoters and who they are involved with Do know if your promotor pays thier dj's and staff Do educate yourself and your friends about the drugs you take and all the precautions necessary to protect yourself from harm Do know your sources well Do remember to eat, sleep, and drink a lot of water Do take good care of yourself and your loved ones Do make at least one new friend every party you go to Do love and remember Do forgive and forget Do remember that if someone tells you something about someone else that isn't very nice, that same person is probably saying something that isn't very nice about you when you're not around Do question people who take sides and gossip Do smile often and go out of your way to accept everyone around you Do share (your love, your thoughts, and your drugs) Do remember that you are the power of example to everyone around you We realize that these suggestions may not apply to all situations, however, it is our belief that information can only make us stronger and is yours to take or leave as you like. please feel free to photocopy and distribute this flyer |

| Coolness: 178730 | Bah, I think it's good.
I mean, okay it's an IDEAL. Of course there's always gonna be an asshole who only wants money and power. BUT if we can get the scene a little more united, I don't know what could go wrong... |

 Coolness: 91775 | Wouldn't you rather show up at a party and feel generally good vibes, see people enjoying themselves and being friendly, or show up and feel like the party was just a half-hearted attempt to make cash, with everyone keeping within their own cliques?
Whether your dispotition is to embrace or scorn raver idealism, this post is just common sense. In other words, if you enjoy raves more than the average mainstream club (and if you don't, it would puzzle me why you'd visit this site) then it only makes sense to help keep raves different from mainstream parties by supporting those promoters that aren't just out to make a quick cash grab. |

| Coolness: 299410 | i just think the part where you should wonder where the rave money goes to... IT GOES TO COMPENSATE FOR THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THE PROMOTER LOST ON HIS EVENTÉ |

| Coolness: 178730 | Well most of the time it's true, but some of them are just too expensive...
Like the Bal en Blanc or any 3000+ rave... |

| Coolness: 71520 | here is somethign that dawned upon me at breakfast:
THE FATAL FLAW of the rave movement is to seek transcendental knowledge through sensual experience. As impressive and seemingly divine an experience can be, it is still drawn from sensual gratification. The contrast between an ecstacy trip, or whatever drug one may prefer, and that of "normal" consciousness only points to the possibility of enlightenment. In reality, the drug trip is simply a bizarre extension of "normal" consciousness. To actually transcend this level of existence, one would require the influence of a "master soul." The music also is but a reflection of that which can be attained through transcendence. In fact, the music of transcendence is beyond the physical realm. Once one reaches awareness, and operates on transcendental levels, all is bathed in celestial sound and light. But to seek transcendence in this physical realm, to seek it from a physical manifestation is to set one's self up for deception. comments, complaints, criticisms? |
