Wow, I so feel you on that post Fizz. Especially on the rape thing. I think about that a lot seeing all these chicks dressed in practically nothing stumbling around hanging on anyone and everyone. Very very very sad. Huge parties like that, that are not well organized kinda scare me.
I wouldnt feel too bad (well, I would honestly, but not AS bad for them) if they were like drug whore types. and there are plenty of those (both sexes). but a lot of people I met seemed genuinely really sweet and kind... just too intoxicated for their own good. i dont know if its a lack of good judgment, or education, just too fucking much at once or what. I didn't even bother to keep track of the wasted girls that wandered into our camp (god only knows why, but hey, anyone nonviolent is welcome) and were not able to really leave under their own power (worrisome, to say the least.), can't find their friends, don't even know their names half the time, where they are camped, etc, etc. but it was a lot. that kind of stuff worries me a great deal. i can't watch out for fookin everyone, but then I feel really bad if I don't, because fuck knows what could happen until they return to earth. i just dont like having it on my conscience either way.
some people are probably deliberately seeking attention i guess. but i dont think it was that many in this particular case.
sometimes its funny, like this chick that wandered in needing help lighting her cigarette, which she was clearly hallucinating, and kept trying to smoke it unsuccessfully. haha.
but anyway, id rather be in a place where that kind of stuff doesn't really happen. and if it does, you can be damn sure there are like 10 experienced people keeping and eye on whomever it is.
raves lost the plur about a decade ago I think, plus the music is just awful. it seems like the niche stuff is all thats worth messing with anymore (psy, glitch, dub etc)
