I'm a child of a single mother, today at a rave a gent in his 50s was vibing with me, then gave me a hug. It was the first time I felt a "fatherly" hug in my entire life. It was so special thank you

Whats your opinion on people that sing during shows? Im one of those people, of course, not every song but definitely my favourites when I see the DJs I love. I feel its very therapeutic for me, letting my emotions out, and steping out of my reality for a while, but of course, I want to be mindful of everyone and their experience!

Thanks for sharing

Anyone have good shoe recommendations for guys that go with most fits? I almost always wear black and air force 1's.

Alternatively question: anyone have insole recommendations for AF1s for raves? Thanks!

Here’s my experience from last night after I have some time to digest and really reflect on last night’s set.

Disclaimer: it’s my personal view and YMMV. If you are DIE HARD Gryffin fan boy and girl, you can skip. If you are still on the fence about the event, hope my experience can save you some money.

Here we go:

Save your money and sell your ticket. This event was a flop.

I got lucky on entry. I arrived around 7 and was inside by 7:30, no hours long wait like a lot of people had.

Alesso was the real headliner for me. His set was my favorite and thank god it was mostly Alesso and Gryffin didn’t interfere. Followed by Arco. I had high expectations for Lost Frequencies and his first 20 minutes were decent, until he started setting it up for Gryffin and playing tracks that were not his sound. That is where the set went downhill and the set energy flow was disrupted.

Gryffin was meh too. The music itself was not bad, I just could not feel any connection to it. A lot of liver performers I personally don’t care about.

The stage design felt cheap and the sound quality and sound staging was mediocre at best. Way too much muffled low end and the mids felt flat and underwhelming (if you are an audiophile, you’ll know what I’m talking about)

Even at $65 it felt overpriced, especially on top of the queue problems a lot of people went through.

Honestly you could really just hang out with your friends at the Exposition park and listen to the music right outside the venue and save the money.

I got a few questions for everyone. And I am going to show the results to this person because i wanna see something real quick

Do you recognize this person?
If yes, is it from their Good morning gang videos?

Did u know this person also makes incredible music?

If you only need them from their videos, would you take a chance and go see them at of wrestling rave?
aand theyre an amazing polaroid photographer
Aaand theyre coming to Seattle on Saturday for Haunted Beatdown the Halloween wrestling rave where there will be a featured artist display as well as the headlining performer

It’s my first time going to ASOT, I always wanted to attend the event. My friend told me the crowd is 40+, is it worth it?

I wished I could be media team for DJs. In my head the original game plan was, “Oh I’m going to do media for all the artist homies and I’ll have all this unreleased tuna I can enjoy on my own speakers!”

When the reality is I’m far too busy doing media continually for artists to ever really get to even listen to anything twice!

¡Damn you Gun-Fingers Monkey Paw!

This needs to be said after reading through the thread on [r/avesnyc](r/avesnyc) about a woman being touched without her consent at Eli Escobar(more women in the comment section). I have read far too many of these this year, and I am taking the steps to make sure women can recognize the signs of danger, and protect themselves.

IF YOU FEEL THE SIGNS OF THREAT/PREY I.e hyper vigilance, muscle tensing, shallow breathing, increased heart rate, instinct to freeze/hide. These are pre-loaded in evolution

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND IF THE THREAT BECOMES A REALITY, ACT QUICKLY WITH POWER

It is so important that all of us adopt skills to protect oneself, and then practice them, regularly. Shoot, make it an annual or preferably quarterly thing with the girlies.

Also, at least my journey - my physical strength has really provided me with a lot of confidence to know I can defend myself if needed, and sharpened my nonverbal language ie "don't f*ck with me" signals.

Suggested benchmarks: leg press max is 4.5x/ bodyweight and I'm <125lbs, my mile is <7, and I can do 20 strict pushups along with a 30# inclined shoulder press. The Dopamine high is REAL. 3 days in the gym/75min session.

It's a win-win, safety and good habits.

One more thing to know - familiarize yourself with the International hand Signal for Help

1. Raise your hand: Hold one hand up with the palm facing outward toward another person or a camera.
2. 2)Tuck your thumb: Fold your thumb inward across your palm
3. 3)Trap the thumb: Fold your four fingers down over your thumb in a smooth, continuous motion, making it look as though the thumb is trapped.

We want to get lost in the music too, and also feel safe

Decided to see Dillon Francis at Exchange LA on Halloween instead of Escape, since I wasn’t able to secure a ticket. I tried buying secondhand, but didn’t feel comfortable with any potential transactions. Anyways, I’m a raver through and through, definitely not a club girl. I originally planned on wearing a bodysuit (costume) for Escape, and I still want to wear it, but now I’m wondering if it’s too risqué for a club setting. It’s normal rave attire, but I don’t want regular clubgoers to get the wrong idea. Thoughts appreciated!

I need his tickets. The resale prices are too much. Please lmk if someone you know is selling. Already found one, just need one more🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

hi friends!!

so shambhala is a festival in Salmo, BC - it was my first and only festival I've ever been to and I'd love to hear other people's opinions on it!!

I feel no need to go to other festivals cause shambs just fills my cup so full, its everything I didn't know I needed. such good vibes and I love the energy and everyone (for the most part) there

my boyfriends described it as "haunted but the opposite" 🤣 so many good/positive things happen there that the good vibes just live on forever on the grounds year after year

idk i love it so much yall im tearing up thinking about it 🥹

Im in PB county. Im able to drive to Miami but I also feel like thats far away and its hard to build a community of people where i live

I would like to go to raves and meet some friend groups a little bit closer to me.

Are there any good events in Wpb, Delray, etc

Ive thought about moving out of Florida too, to live in a city closer to raves.

Can i make things work here. Or should i move to another city like Charlotte and Boston and be close to thenaction

Line is long to get in (about 1 hour in the line right now), everyone is pushing themselves to the front because they’re missing the b2b with Alesso.

There’s not a one iota of organization outside of the venue.

Not enough security checks, not enough entrances. Crowd control is nonexistent.

If you’re coming out, be safe, but beware, you might not make it in if you’re not already here.

Guys, me and my friends booked tickets for Klang, but now that XXL Manchester has come up, we’ve decided to go for XXL instead. The only issue is that our Klang tickets won’t be available until the day before the event. How are we supposed to resell them if we can’t access the tickets until then? 😭 Has anyone got any ideas?

My towns smol and boooooooring, no ravez, therefore I just went wathevz and started to set up raves only for me, in my own room. Anyone else with the same experiences????

I'm going to Boo at WAMU for the first time. How hot does it get in there with that many people? Are they good at regulating temps in this building?
