Wow.. What an amazing night I had last night. We ended up arriving super early and decided to explore the forest service roads a bit more, we found a huge canyon with about 3 smashed cars in the bottom of it that most likely flew off the road late at night by drunk drivers (it was in a red neck area.) After a while we went back down to where the venue was supposed to be and ended up bumping into the event organizers.
We talked to them for a bit just to find out that the event is moving locations due to a group of 30 or so men having a ping pong tournament in the middle of the woods... it was kind of strange haha. So we ended up helping them move all the wood frames for the stage and drove up to the other location they have used in the past. We helped them set up a bit more then went back to my car to chill a bit before the show.
I dosed around 10pm and chilled in my car with my friends for a few minutes then we went out to the stage, we started a fire about 50 feet from the stage and chilled there as the first DJ came on around 11pm. From about 11pm-3am I just stayed at the front of the stage dancing like a mad man with 40 other strangers that soon became my good friends for the night. By 4am I was pretty much sober but that didn't stop me, I kept on dancing till about 5:15 until I was just too exhausted to even attempt to dance anymore. I went and chilled by the fire for a bit and eventually made my way back to my car around 6am to pass out on the air mattress in the back.
Throughout the night I was talking to the first DJ who played that night about DJing and what not and he offered me a time slot for the next forest rave in late September so I guess I got my first actual legit show in around a month... Time to start practicing and getting together songs for a set, I was thinking maybe go for a trance or hardstyle set... The other DJ's were playing more funky house tunes and one spun some dubstep, I figured Trance or Hardstyle would be a nice change.
Sorry for the long post but it was a great night.
