well, fuck. the same thing that got me into the scene is slowly driving me away. i first fell in love with the scene because i wasnt having fun anymore just rolling with my friends..it got boring and i would get mad e-pression...then i discovered the scene and the love was spectacular...then i met some blooliters, and it was even better...but now things are becoming standard again..its not new or fresh. i need help. i love the scene, yet i am feeling disillusioned from it. what can i do to keep things fresh. i tried raving sober, which was kewl even tho the party sucked...anyone else have any ideas?

What exactly are you referring to when you say the "scene"?
------------------
If you can't change it - get over it. If you can - do!
 
well.. 1st of all, stop rollin for a while so u wont get the post-e-depression
then, stop ravin for a coupla months, and then go to a rave
u'll be amazed how fun it is
and besides,
anythin will make you bored if u keep doin it
 
by scene, i mean the whole rave/ecstacy scene.
and i cant stop going to parties, or i would go insane. its all i have left anymore it seems. i cant just hang out and do nothing..and my fratenity really isnt holding my interest anymore... going to partys is the only thing i have left to meet new people... i am very confused... ack!!!

but how do i know what a "better event" is. honestly, i dont know who the "good" dj's are, cept of course for the huge names... but then i see names like paulina taylor (who i couldnt see last night cause the floor was too crowded) or theo or huggy or darky or thomas micheal, who i just never seem to catch. i dont know any DJ's or promotors, nor do i know how to meet them... how do i figure out was is good and what is bad?

I feel ya on getting tired of the scene. I'm on the alcohol kick right now, but when I first rolled, that's all I would do every weekend. After a while, you go broke and become immune to the shit. I tend to run things in the ground and then after a while, I move on the something else. I haven't rolled since New Years and now I'm holding out until my big New York trip next weekend to do it again.
 
Raves are great... but after doing it for 3 years, on a fairly regular basis, yeah it got old... what saved it for me (just recently) was you Bluelighters...
That, and bringing some new friends into the scene, and watching them open their eyes.
I don't know what to say... but it sounds to me like you need to re-introduce yourself to reality. God knows I do.... but I just don't know how.

Hey spencer!
Well, we need to hit the more underground parties I think... these "McRaves" that we hit at the dome / fox are getting kind of old, and I'd love to hit something a little less massive. Some party that doesn't have a budget to print shiny fliers and shit. Unfortunately, it's, well, under ground... and here we are above ground... So I suggest you find something underground that we can go to.

I disagree with w33. I think you should definitely party like a rockstar. or just take a break from it. Go to the movies or do something else instead of going to parties for a while. then when you start to party again you'll have more cash and can party like a rockstar again. well thats just my advice.
 
All I can say is pick your parties! Don't go to every single one... As you have found they have lost their charm...
What I am trying to do is try out new things when I am rolling or at a party... Don't do the same ol' things. Be creative... Make things that will amuse you... bring new friends and share your knowledge....
What I am going to try is to go for a while, and not stay out all night... I don't like to stay just for the fact of staying at the party...
I don't know if this helps, but it did help me a little.
 
Cut back on parties for a bit
Don't overdose on Bluelight
Get in touch with nature / go for a drive. Just do a few things u have never done before.
Oh and go and get really pissed. It will help you appreciate rollin again.

WOOHOO!!!!!!! people are starting to use my new PHRASE
smile.gif
i agree with Motab- fuck McRAVES- (i should copyright that word
smile.gif
) take it to the underground-
I can count how many times i've been to the Fox and Masterdome on my right hand.
I'd be bored with the scene too, if these places are the only places you've been partying... theres no REAL vibe at these venues- these are MONEY MAKING venues- the vibe is so non-exsistant at these venues-
i tryed to inform you kidz of other events (DYNAGROOVE on sat. LittleLouieVega and Doc. on sunday-in the meetup page) but no1 seemed to be interested in the info.
oh BTY - Dynagroove went the fuck off!
FUCK McRAVES-keep it underground, kidz- you'll be much happier you did!
my e-mail is [email protected] if your interested in BETTER QUALITY events (in LosAngeles) than feel free to drop me a line-

SPENCER!!! We've talked about this...! No more McRaves!
I know EXACTLY how you feel.
Please listen to me next time...I like to think I know what the good parties are.....not to sound like a know-it-all or anything....but I CAN help you!
Ask Motab

Spence-
Sounds kinda funny. Ive been going through the same thing. I came to the conclusion after many a bad evenings out with friends that going out wasnt really that fun anymore. I didnt get that much sleep, it was wearing off on me. I wanted to feel like the freshman in high school who lied to her mom and said she was staying at her best friends house and then went out and partied for the first time. I wanted to be that young and naive girl who didn't know what "hooking up" with guys was and I wanted to be that fresh girl who didn't hook up with the guys. So, now, im efforts to regain my sanity, my outlook and my fun i have stopped going out. Ive become more like the mystery chick. People would see me out all the time. and when i do go out..i have an excellent time. I get to drink a few less beers..take a few less hits..and i still get as screweed up as i did before. It's worth it. Take a break :-)
love Always
Miss Yem
ps--weekapaug...I LOVE IT! it took me forever to figure out what it was..but its such a great name!! thats my fave jam!!
 
no offence to you week, but i havent exactly gotten the best vibes from you, being as how i a a kandy kid and all..and in general, the vibe ive gotten from the underground is that they dont especially like kandy kids....so y would i want t o go underground...please, if im wrong tell me, cause i love the small events...they are so much more intimate then the big parties...ironically enuf, the party that got me hooked on raves was a tiny ass party at the masterdome called haunted..it fucking rawked...
thats what i am looking for. a small party where everyone loves each other reagrdless of who they are...

"Never never never never never never let me me go" she says
"Hold me like ths for a hundred thousand million days"
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
"why do you cry? what did i say?"
"but its just rain" i smile
brushing my tears away...

It seems like the "shelf-life" of ravers is geting shorter by the year. I see people come and go from the scene all the time- and the people who dont leave the scene after 2 or 3 years tend to migrate to either the underground or the club scene. (or both) Personally i feel people get tired of going to the "same old party"... and that party is going on EVERY WEEKEND in LA. Kids are going to the same fuckin McRave every weekend! theres only so many times you can see the same movie>
Spencer- i'm not a candy-kid basher> i dont care what "label" people want to place on themselves- to each his own! personaly i dont party to be "candy as can be" i party to have fun> if you have fun being candy than GO FOR IT! ok...enough with the labels>
You've been in the scene for how long now, and your already bored with it! just slow down on parties- start to PICK and CHOOZE your parties wisely. go to a party for a certain dj or because you trust the produtcion company.

I've been tired of the whole scene for a while now just because it's so "cookie-cut" now. They're all commercialized like hell, the people are whatever, and there's no vibe anymore. I've since gone to a few underground parties and they've rocked! I want to go to a MT party soon cuz I have heard dope shit about 'em. I think that underground or not, if u party too often/too much, it becomes routine and the pleasure that you get out of it decreases so moderation is the key (as with anything in life).

DUDE! whether or not you realize it you have some serious depression kickin. i would take some serious time off...from even going to parties. a few months would help alot and more if you can commit to it. make it a treat to yourself to go to parties and party hard, don't do it every weekend otherwise your headed for disaster eventually. you might not like it at first but you will come to realize there are many more things to life than partying! good luck!

yeah I agree take some time off from the entire scene. Try listening to some other kinds of music too, starve your mind from anything related to the scene. I'm in my third week off and I can't wait to go to the next party now. Oh and try thinking of some really creative things to do at a party to enhance the scene yourself. We made clothes out of newspapers(sounds strange I know!) a while back and it was soo much fun.
