 Coolness: 509535 | Let's start off with a joke. How many ravers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
1,000: One to screw in the light bulb, and 999 to whine about how much better the old bulb was. Ok, so now you're entertained, or not, you're probably complaining about how the old rave jokes were so much better.. in any case, I'd appreciate any and all information any of you might have come by concerning throwing the most legal and safe possible raves. thank you sprungfield!! |

| Coolness: 509535 | I found the following on [ taz4.hyperreal.org ]
buuuuut your response was dumbfounding, I didn't described anything at all in my original post :\ and for the sake of getting something useful out of this thread, I am referring to an all night event. Contemporary definition of "rave" as a social event In simplest terms, a rave is a social event, a phenomenon of modern youth culture. In most cases a rave is a dance party in which the participants experience a sense of community and elevated consciousness through the hearing of music and the respond ing to music through (1) free physical motion or dance, (2) a positive change of mood, and (3) both spoken & unspoken interaction with other participants. Although this is not an exhaustive list, it can generally be said that raves today tend to include the following dominant elements: * a venue which may be a warehouse, open field, dance club, or other exotic location * at least one large amplified stereo sound system * skilled disc jockeys (DJs) who provide a continuous mix of dance oriented electronic music, usually "techno," "house," or "jungle" music * colorful moving lights, lasers and/or strobes * nighttime hours, usually from 10pm or 11pm until sunrise * attendance of at least 50 people (varies widely from region to region around the world; some European cities routinely attract over 10,000. American raves average 500 to 1,500, with exceptions) * use of recreational drugs among a percentage of the participants (varies widely from rave to rave; some raves are substance-free) * non-use of alcohol (varies from rave to rave) * vending of non-alcoholic "smart drinks", t-shirts, and DJ mix tapes * retro and "little kid" fashions * "chill out" areas or rooms featuring ambient music When Is A Rave Not A Rave? A rave is a subjective experience. It is possible that a dance party which fits the above criteria may not be considered a rave by those who participated in it or by experienced ravers (people who sometimes attend raves) who hear about the event before or after it takes place. Some ravers feel that only raves which they enjoyed were actually raves. Some even feel that only raves which were held without permission from the venue owner were 'real.' Ravers also tend to use their own criteri a for determining if a dance party that is billed and/or promoted as a rave is actually deserving of the name. These criteria are usually based on expectations formed from previous experiences at raves, so what has happened over time is that raves have c ome to be comprised of similar elements in order to appeal to people's expectations, as well as being a by-product of those expectations. There is also the issue of the word "rave" itself. For various reasons there are negative connotations associated with the word, so many ravers choose not to say it. They may say "party" or "event," or they may refer to the rave by the name given by its promoters. Whether or not the kinds of parties that happen today are "raves" is open for debate. For purposes of discussion here, we'll say that they are in fact "raves." |

| Coolness: 158710 | ... FOR ME i suppose that what you are describing could have been any type of nyc or elsewhere 60-70 events..
why the word rave have been created is not to just be put on a event where you pay, dance all night... it was the public space used by THE people. l'apropriation du lieu public par le peuple par l'art de la musique electronique, d'une maniere apolitique et pacifique ... you know manchester .. what you giving me up there is a mainstream commercial description of what is a rave. |

 Coolness: 86830 | Don't get me started bro, it was all a long time ago now, not many of the people here have ever seen the real deal.
I lOvE tHe PaSt.. but it's 2008, and things change. Most of the BIG BIG name Dj's I know have contracts and booking agents that won't let them play any event that might be a "rave" you can't even use the word in Toronto or you'll have one hell of a time getting a venue for an "All Ages Multimedia Event".. |

 Coolness: 43435 | For rave-related laws, it's kind simple- there aren't any.
The most prudent thing you can do when your planing on throw a party is to double-check things yourself and look at local BY-LAWS. Verdun isn't the same as downtown and NDG is not Ville St Laurent. Do your homework and know what your getting into is the best advice I could give anyone who's looking to throw a good party. |

Hahahaha this joke made my day. I don't wanna turn this into another "the rave sence is dieeeing" thread, but i will say one thing. Sure, the scene does change. But chances are, if you're whining about how things suck compare to the way they used to be, its most likely that *YOU* have changed far more than the scene has. |

WOW!!! + 1000000000 Je crois que tu as mit le doigt sur un des bobos la! Quand tu commences quelque chose, c'est l'inconnue, le nouveau, la peur qui rend le tout plus impressionnant! C'est comme pour la neige, quand on dit " ya pu de grosse neige comme quand j'était enfant" C'est sur!!! quand tu fait 3 pommes et demis, la pluspart des trucs son plus haut que toi et ton souvenir les rends IMMENSE!!! Avec les temps, tout cela s'estompe, et même si on n'as pas l'impression que c'est nous qui changent mais le reste du monde, je crois que c'est faux. Même si vous vous retrouviez dans EXACTMENT le même event, mais avec votre expérience et maturité acquise, cela n'aurais jamais plus la magie de vos premiers... (et je me compte la dedans, même si je ne comprenais pas dans quoi je me retrouvais il y a 7-8 ans parce que je ne connaissait pas ni la scène ni la musique électronique, j'avais tellement de plaisir!) Oui ce n'est plus comme il y a quelques années, mais ce n'est pas aussi noir que nos cerveau d'adulte (et non plus d'ado...) le voit! / end of serious quote about the dieing of the since :P Et sérieusement :P Mettons que tout sa est devenue trop dramatique a mon gout :P Ce sont Des PARTY pour ce faire du FUN et DÉCOUVRIR des nouveaux DJ, Sons etc... Faudrait arrêter de prendre tout sa aussi sérieusement et recommencer a juste avoir du PLAISIR!!!
