The Doof Thread

^^ I think the main thing to remember is that you don't have to take drugs to enjoy a doof!! You can just drink or do nothing at all. When I went to see Azax Syndrom at Psyfari I was completely straight and it was fucking awesome! So if you're worried about having a bad trip because the last few times wasn't that good for you, then......don't trip :)

Getting a set at a doof is probably a matter of going to a doof, meeting some of the DJs or promoters, organise to send them a demo CD or something, then just take it from there.

Some of the DJs trip when they play (difficulty level +++!), some of them are just drunk or stoned, and some are straighty-180.

The only time I have ever heard of anyone getting lost at a doof was a story some random dude told me at a doof a few weeks ago. He and his mates were tripping balls and these motorcross/dirtbikers came through the property that the party was on (NOT doofers at all), and offered one of this guy's mates a motorbike ride through the bush. The guy (stupidly) accepted, they rode him out in to the absolute MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and left him there, tripping.
The guys back at the party never saw him again until they got back in to town 2 days later. It turns out the guy stumbled his way through the bush throughout the night and managed to get back to the main road in the early morning, where a passer-by gave him a lift in to the next town.

Fucking creepy huh!!!!!!

But in all my doofing years that is the one and only story I have heard about any mishaps at a doof.

For anyone in the Sydney doof crew, this happened at a Colo party last year, you know how there are heaps of dirtbike riders out there?

Anyway. The moral of the story is don't accept a dirtbike ride with a random bogan.
 
Holy hell, that's so horrible n3o.. I can't imagine having a friend go missing like that, on the back of a motorbike! :(

My Mum (of all people!) told me about a friend of hers who went missing at a bush-party when she was younger. They couldn't find him the next day, and afaik he's still missing to this day. :|

Just goes to show, at the end of the day you're in the bush and should take proper precautions just like any other time you're enjoying nature.

Make sure you tell someone where you are, and where you are going as well as an expected return time. Never go off unattended - always bring a friend. Dress for night time, when it can get very cold, even if you're not planning on being there until night falls. Bring enough food and water to last for at least another day.

Be safe everyone. <3
 
Yeah that was the Fractal Storm party Neo.

I didn't go either but it was at the old Psyfari site and held without the owners permission and he wasn't too happy when he found them there...I wouldn't be too surprised if the bikers weren't mates of his or something....

Either way, the guy was found and freaked out enough to be taken to the police station to give a report on what happened.

We won't be going back to that site though....from what i was told, the owner was illegally dumping and burning medical waste in such vast quantities it was picked up on satellite images by the EPA..... 8o

People do wig out from time to time but they're generally looked after by their friends or in one rare case at a party not long ago, help is sought by others to sedate them for their own safety...plugging benzo's is easier when they're already naked ;)

Click to expand...

No way!!!
Glad you told me because now I won't be going back there either...

Such a shame because that is one of my favourite properties :(
 
Don't worry, I don't think any of the crews will be holding anything there anymore so you won't miss out on any parties.

The only time I went there the property wasn't looking so great - funny thing is, the dam looked so dirty and manky we were referring to it as a toxic waste pool, now it seems like we weren't too far off the mark 8)

You'll have to come back and explore the new Psyfari site next time - it's pretty awesome looking and the owner is an awesome, awesome guy
 
It absolutely pays to be so very careful when out bush; whether under the influence of anything or not. Those of you who were around bluelight at the time would remember the passing of ~bill in 2002. He died while at a bush party (Arcadia), and it devastated the entire community. It also served as a harrowing reminder that we all need to look out for ourselves and each other. <3

RIP ~bill
 
^Such a sad thing :(

Man that's terrible about that poor guy being dumped out in no where tripping balls... some people in this world are so damn nasty and cruel :! I have been at doofs where bogan bikers have arrived and came over to chill with us. Lucky they were kinda cool, but still if they offered to take me for a ride there is NO WAY i would go. I never go off with complete strangers like that ... you just don't know who you're dealing with :|

With doofs i feel you should go with people you trust... so therefore if anything happens you know you will be taken care of until things get better again. I have experienced both feelings.. of feeling safe with the people i was with, and also unsafe....these days i generally just go with my husband now unless i know the people well and know they would be there for me as much as i would be for them.

And as far as not needing drugs to enjoy a doof - i totally agree!!!! You can have just as much fun totally straight, or just having a few drinks. When you're out amongst the awesome vibe and music and good friends, that can be enough!

Psytrance tends to give me a natural buzz :D
 
At rainbow serpent this year, we had a guy who was camping next to us and he joined us for beers and what not. Long story short..he had a heap of acid and wandered off somewhere and got so confused/psychotic he had an ambulance called to take him to a psych ward nearby. He told us he had no idea wtf was going on and an hour or 2 after arriving in the psych ward, he came through!

Got returned to the festival in the morning..and proceeded to take more acid.

Moral of the story: Don't take a huge amount of drugs at these things..and if you have a bad experience, then leave that shit alone or you can expect some bullshit like this to happen!

This guy was a bit of a junkie i think :O!
 
^What the.....

That's fucked up :\ Fuckin hell..

Yeah i will say that while i enjoy getting wasted, i still make sure i have a decent grip on reality when doofing. I like to remember the experience, personally. You don't need to completely fuck yourself up to have a good time.

For example - i LOVE k holes, but there is no way in HELL i would want to experience that at a doof. There is a time and a place. I don't feel a doof is the right place to lose your shit. Well not for me anyways.

It's all about pacing yourself when you're in the bush.

A good crew and a comfortable camp are essential. Plenty of people will wig out but if you are surrounded by smart people you can trust then most people will pull through. After all psych's in particular are only temporary.

Having a good tent away from the music is the key. We always bring foam mattresses and "super doona", which allows us a chill out area when things get confusing. Ipod speakers with chilled music (after hours of fucking psy I often retreat back to Johnny Cash or some reggae) is useful in creating a calm environment. It amazes me the number of people who attend doofs with nothing more than their car and a pocketful of drugs, then wonder why 5 hours later when they are cold and confused that things are not too rosie. Even simple things like cold water and juice or some fresh fruit can reset a frazzled mindset.

We went to a doof last year during the dust storms and I have to admit that stretched a few doofers minds. It looked more and more like the end of the world as the Sun was consumed by dust. Not only did it make it harder to breath, it was a mental challenge not to think about the possibility of radioactive particles we were ingesting.

Winter Solstice Doof this weekend with a lunar eclipse thrown in for good measure. I'm currently praying to the Doof gods for clear skies and large campfires.
 
Also praying for good weather at Winter Solstice :) There's always people that over indulge but that's why you should always go with a group, have had a few experiences with people eating too many psychs and you always wonder if a benzo or just riding it out is the best option. Bring on the weekend weeeeeeeeeeeee!
 
Ummm, I have never seen anyone wig out at a doof. Perhaps I turn a blind eye to it, or perhaps I'm just always off in my own little world (likely ;)) Our little doof crew, i.e. me, my boyfriend and his best mate, are very responsible and know our limits. We never push it further than we think is necessary. None of us have ever come close to getting overwhelmed or freaking out or anything like that....

Just be sensible kids :)


Have an awesome time at Winter Solstice guys!!!! Can't wait to see photos! <3
 
Not sure if it's hugely relevant but I figured it couldn't hurt to remind everyone to also be very careful if you intend to hitchhike to/from events, and never do it alone. I lost a friend in highschool hitchhiking in North Eastern NSW :( Australia may be one of the safest countries on Earth but there are still some fucked up and evil people out there.
 
^I don't believe in hitchhiking.... so sorry about your friend man that's terrible. <3

There certainly are some maniac sickos out there.... it's just not worth the risk.
 
Hi guys bit of a lurker here, thought I might start showing up :)

Looking for a good doof to go to sometime soon. I was having a look at Australiens but I have no idea which ones are good/appropriate. I havn't been to a doof before and probably won't go all guns a blazin' so any real suggestions you guys have would be awesome!

(Not sure what questions are appropriate, I'll have to have another read of the forum rules I guess.)
 
^^ Hi there!
Firstly, what state/city are you in? And have you got a group of friends to bring to a doof with you?
Basically any of the outdoor parties listed on Australiens are good/appropriate.
Also, you can ask any questions on here as long as it doesn't involve anything about obtaining, selling or possessing drugs, i.e. nothing illegal ;)
 
I'm in Sydney and travel by car isn't really an issue :)

Oh awesome! Is the cold an issue usually? Apparently in some parts its dipping below freezing... brrrrrr!!!
 
Hey BebopCola! Cool nickname man - and welcome :)

If you wanna know of some good sites to look up doofs etc send me a PM.
Otherwise, hang around and you'll see some good ones being posted on here.
 
Hey BeBop, check out the NSW section of Australiens, there's a few good parties coming up.
If transport isn't an issue for you and you don't have mates interested in going with you, you could always post up on Australiens offering lifts to others if you're comfortable with that. It's a good way to meet people and get into the party spirit on the drive out there.

It can get freakin cold and considering the next party is out west, it's likely to be freezing but i guess it depends on how the cold affects you. Just take lotsa warm clothes and if it gets too cold, dance harder!
Or seek out the Village, we always have a big fire cranking.
