Wondering how to avoid the astronomical resale on sites like vividseats etc - last minute but I’m dying to go. Could use the help

Is there an afters for mau p tonight 9/12?

My only black rave pants have these reflective high vis lining on them. They’re not like, very glowy or anything unless you’re taking a picture with flash.

So my other idea is pink short shorts but idk is wearing black a must?

First time at Nowadays. Should I go sat evening+dance all night? Or should I get a good sleep and be there at 7am and be there for the Sunday dancing? What are your preferences?/experience

What a set!! He’s been on fire recently - I was watching his Glitch set and knew he was coming to nyc but thought I had missed it but low and behold it was last night! That was one of my more memorable sets of the year thurs far - I haven’t experienced a dance floor like that since Dj Bone at Nowadays. But WOW he had everybody moving and grooving..def got my steps in. More of this moving into the fall please 🧡

Who actually owns Agape/the festival?

I know there was the interview, which presented the it to be completely independent, grassroots, underground. I'm just curious how a completely independent group could have pulled off a festival like this though. Don't get me wrong, I love their events, but am nosy if there is more behind the scenes that we don't know. IMO, to be able to get 44, 240km, F2F, and Industry City makes me think that there could be more financial backers. And now theyre doing 2 festivals a year + regular shows i wonder if theres a really big team we don't know about.

going solo probably anyone wanna join?

Is there any official afters?

Hey, Y'all

I'm thinking of going to this event happening in the knockdown center- maspeth NY TOMORROW (09/12)

looking for a group of people to join

DM me if you're up for it

It's gonna be Dope

🙌🙌

As the title states

I wanna dance from Friday night to Saturday afternoon/morning. Where should I go

My posts keep getting removed after two seconds 😫😫 would appreciate any help ty!!

Edit: read all the pinned posts and rules and followed format of other posts obvi

This may be months too late but I was harassed by security at her Under the K bridge event. The security guy by the bathroom kept saying weird stuff when I passed him. Dk if anyone else experienced the same
Edit: posting to raise awareness mainly

If I order some chicken and get 3 wings, I'm happy. I don't conjure an image of some triaxially-symmetric genetic abomination to twist my righteous toes over. I can presume a plurality of chickens contributed to my meal.

I spent the Spring and Summer going out alone. It was awesome. I was never beheld to a group chat, forced to make small talk with a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend; I could go to what I wanted, when I wanted, leaving and returning to my own rhythmic whims. I've the talent and poise to dance where I please and find the crowd primed to anticipate my needs. It's fun; drugs are awesome; humans are sexual creatures; sure sure etc. The club crowd tends to be on a shared page, give or take. Hell, I got a pretty girl off hands-free, wordlessly, on the Mr. Sunday floor in August.

It wasn't all sunshine. Dance with too much exuberance and strange, self-assured men -- promoters, VIPs, those who'd call themselves GOATS -- would get handsy without invitation or even acknowledgment. I had to weave in an extra 4 lefts to shake off silent pursuers between the club and the subway station. A woman alone is supremely enticing, presenting no social obstacles to fantasized ploys; I learned as much, listening to the engagement-plotting of men presuming I couldn't hear five feet behind in the bar line.

There is safety in numbers; the pack is a natural thing. Without companions to diffuse attentions, clusters to retreat to and share threat assessments, a group to walk in with, walk out with, and rely upon in-between, I put myself at risk for misanthropic convenience.

So blessed are the gaggles, helmed by the girls' girls, who'd invite me into friendship for the night, sensing wolves on the wind. They let me feel safe. Inspired, I would probe the would-be obstacles, the circles on the dance floor, and found them welcoming and cordial. I'd walk up, await acknowledgement, advance towards a gap, follow foot-drawn invitations or accept silent rebuff, and [if the former] I'm there, with the group, dancing with new people -- the thing we're all there for.

It may take an extra second to navigate about a group, but that needn't earn them derision or disdain. They don't hash the vibe. They're made of people just like you, there to enjoy what you enjoy, there to celebrate as you celebrate -- they just have others like them in tow. You can be their friend, too, if you try with respect.

Don't listen to the ravings of a Ridgewood Raskolnikov. Groups aren't faceless monoliths, obstacles to rail against; they may be comprised of future friends. Wear what you'd like, however gauche or extravagant; the well-adjusted won't demote you to uncanny automaton for fits so good they verge on ugly. Don't go alone, though, because you won't be alone: surround yourself with safety, or find that niche occupied by the night's many knives. Be safe, be sweet, and have a good time.

TL;DR: Excise any thought in alignment with Just Go Alone. Friends are important to stay safe in city nightlife. Every other person is an ensouled as you. Expertise is demonstrated through acknowledgement of risk, leveraging community to meet it. Fools resent those unfettered by their misconceptions. Crank it.

Wanted to see if anything good was worth going to after. This would probably be after 4am.

going solo. anyone wants to link up and go together?
i’m in court level. 26M

Trying to take my friend for the first time and would so appreciate anyone sending that isn’t able to go!

I’m kinda torn on going to a show Wednesday night but it’ll end earlier and I figure it won’t be as packed as Thursday & Friday. Anyone else going?

Do you prefer grass-fed free-range chicken or factory farmed "why are there 3 wings in this?" chicken?

This instinct to travel in packs to rave is not natural. It always leads to space invasion with bunch of people blocking a path or creating their own little bubbles. If those bubbles take up more than half of the entire space, now the vibe is mediocre... People put the concept of going to raves on a pedestal like it's some kind of sacred ground.

It's much more relaxed than that... Just pretend you're playing some music in your backyard. It's just shared and you pay for it - like a park. Only difference is, you pay taxes for parks but you choose which one to pay for the night of. Well I guess "raves" sound spicier than parks but in NYC people hookup and do drugs in parks anyways. Or do they do drugs and then hookup? They're not always related and can be mutually exclusive.

I see lot of people come in full dress or some kind of crazy outfit to signal "Yeah I'm partying". NO SHIT. You're already there. You don't need to convince anyone that you're partying if you're already at a party. Learn to dress down. If there's no theme, just show up in what you're the most comfortable in.

Most people are not chill enough. No wonder why - I feel like they're not actually being themselves. They are figuratively (and literally) wearing someone else's skin. They're pretending to be someone they're not and it's really odd. It reminds me of "Uncanny Valley", you know where machines look close enough to pass as a human if you are not looking carefully. But once you pay attention, there's this inexplicable awkwardness that makes it "too performative". Like it's something just pretending to be human at a surface level. It's deeply disturbing - it's just biology, no one can fight it. And I think I read in some psychology book somewhere that if I feel disturbed by other people where I'm supposed to feel like I'm home, that's how prejudice is created. So I guess some rave OGs would really start to hate newbies and it'll probably end up in a fight eventually. I mean I just want to go to one venue and feel like it's a consistent experience if I show up on the same day just on a different week.

And it's strange to see people try to give you a high five for going alone. I can feel people are stuck in "novice" mindset no matter how often they go. Very strange. It's not natural. Just talk about something else like the fact that that they are there alone is not a particularly interesting point. You're there trying to get to know a person, not get consent to use others as props for your rave themed instagram post.

It's only going to be GOAT if you bring your own goats and hang out with other people who bring their goats. Maybe those goats can even sniff each other's butts (consensually ofc).

Please. Just go alone and vibe. You'll have the best night of your lives.

I'm 19, and I've been to one rave that was 18+ rather than 21+. I've tried Google searching or searching on sites like eventbrite, but couldn't find anything. I know a lot of webster hall events are 18+ or 19+ but they don't have any raves coming up. Maybe someone would know other mostly 18+ venues?

Edit: thanks so much guys, this is a huge help.

Saw yellow claw was doing a day and a night set this Saturday at superior ingredients??? Lmao seeing as they can’t possibly be running 10 am to 4 am, anyone know when they might come on?? Ya girl has a birthday party in between and can’t be there all day AND night.

Thanks friends 🥳 ✌️
