So it's been nearly 10 years since I left the rave scene and settled down to a much more mellow, conventional, drug-free lifestyle. Every now and then though I hear some great new electronic music or see some video clips of a spectacular recent dance event and I get cold shivers down my spine that makes me wish to god I was there. Holy crap it would be great to get amongst just once or twice more again!
Any way.
So all the party people I used to know have gone their separate ways and suddenly it hits me that I don't have a group of like-minded mates to go to an event with....something you take for granted back in your late teens/early 20's. What is a rave if you aren't heading off to one giddy with excitement with a bunch of good friends... later coming up together, jumping around together, and talking shit together?!
Have any of you ever faced something resembling this situation? I'm sure my 20 year old self would have confidently strode off to the next rave with or without said group of friends, knowing that he'd quickly make some early in the night and have a bloomin' great time. Somehow this 31 year old isn't so sure... :-/
Maybe I should forget friends and just track down a seriously great looking party (a quick search on google shows up some pretty amazing looking events like Tomorrowland), get myself there, and see where the night takes me! Whaddaya think?
...thoughts?
