Well, I am about to break out the cheese on this one, but for some reason I feel this overwhealming urge to post this...
I have been Raving for a LONG time, (especialy as far as this little city of mine is concerned) and I am the oldest of the old skool here, and the scene has drasticly changed since when I was new. Not only that, but I have found that I have long since drifed from many (almost all) of my friends, who have moved away, or drifted entirely too far into drugs, and left raving (and PLUR, and everything that I stand for) behind.
I was ready to give up, ready to stop raving... and maybe even stop rolling.
Then my friend Eve, pointed me to this Board (which she herself just found). and I found this new, and wonderful community that is the Bluelight. Now, let me get to the point...
I feel like my experience, and knowledge of the scene, and everything involved in it, actualy MEAN something... I feel, useful... posts like Ashke's beautifly poetic post about the types of ravers, and hearing all of you talk about your experiences... I feel that as long as I KNOW that there are good people out there, like all of you, just waiting to be found, that there is still reason to my being there. You have all renewed my sence of PLUR in the rave scene. You make me WANT to go to another rave... you make me WANT to go out, and meet people at raves... because one of THEM just MIGHT be one of you.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you, even if you don't know what you have done for me.
Maybe some day I'll be able to get out to T.O. (maybe sooner than you think) or some other big city, and meet up with some of you.
It is all of YOU who make the rave scene what it is. YOU create, and sustain the PLUR that flows, like a river, through it. You ARE the party, and you take it with you wherever you go, and share it, with whoever you you meet.
The rave scene IS alive, in all of you, even if everyone at the raves doesn't understand what PLUR means.
Thank you all again, and keep it up!
but most of all most of all,
PLUR!!!
