She didn't even ask anyone or anything.

in all honesty, yeah, for someone with altered senses you look fine imo. i have friends who act worse in public, even sober. and it has nothing to do with the propaganda, i've just never found the sense in all that. why do it? is the moment your living so boring that you have to use? i dont know, i have better things to do, really :S and obviously i couldnt hang out with a person like that either, it would make me feel really uncomfortable.

also, i have nothing against the Sonic costume, i actually like it :p impressive the effort you put into it, and you look nice in it too :)

but yeah, sorry that i shattered your e-world :x as i said, to each its own.

why i do it?

i do it for the experience. i do a lot of things for the experience. i travel, i skydive, i make the first move, i go out, i create, i ride rollercoasters, i open myself up to criticism... all for the experience. more experiences = more perspective, more understanding of things (people, the world, life, etc!), more stories to share and memories to look back on fondly. as they say, you rarely regret things u do; u more often regret things you dont do.

ive found that (while some people cant) i can use drugs responsibly (as in, ive never been sick off of them or in any serious danger) and i do use them, not because 'oh my life is so boring i'll get high' but because they (well, acid especially..my favorite) can enhance the experiences i seek to enjoy. a week at burning man sober will change your life and give you more to think about and more stories to tell than a year of regular life. a night at burning man tripping on acid is that much more special. its not a matter of 'having something better to do' its a matter of occasionally enhancing the already great thing you're experiencing, to make it that much better.

^^this is all a 'why i do it' and definitely not a 'why you should do it.' i more than understand why people are uncomfortable with drugs, seeing as i definitely used to be that way too.

I need to go to more raves. By which I mean, a rave...

They're a whole lot of fun but I haven't been to one since the college days. Usually go to festivals and clubs nowadays. infinityjinx gave me a link to a message board with all events in the northeast, though I don't have the link handy at the moment.

You got any rave tips for folks in L.A? Anywhere that would play shit like Infected Mushroom, Sheep on Drugs or even Pendulum.

oh man, LA/west coast is definitely the place to be for parties. we in NY envy you guys.

insomniac events hosts big parties in hollywood/socal that both pendulum and infected mushroom have played at in the past year...however, i dont think theres anything with them coming up.

http://www.insomniacevents.com/

upon looking at their web site, it looks like u just missed IM last week in hollywood, and dj dara (if u like pendulum...) last week as well! =(

u should sign up for their email list though, it looks like they throw the kinds of parties you'd be interested in.

You ****in' pimp! Thanks for that. Been looking for some decent raves since I got here. If you\re ever in London and want some tips, I got some old knowledge I can dust off and share with ye.

Thats right. You missed Monster massive last october Boutournist. Armin van Buren and Paul van dyk at the same party. Numbers 1 and 2 at the same ****ing joint. I missed it too :(, but thats because i crossed out drugs out of my life and im not going to rave on alcohol.

I once raved in the Brixton Fridge to Sheep on Drugs till 6am on water and a shot of that weird Guarana crap. No drugs or booze. Felt amazing too. Though if I had something extra I'm sure it would've enhanced the evening.

Gutted I missed Van Dyk. Gabriel and Dresden too. And Infected 'Shroom :(
 
Since a couple EDM fans have hijacked this thread... got a little question - any of you going to Miami for the Ultra Music Festival this year?

That event looks like the kindergarten equivalent in terms of electronic music.

This was confirmed by listening to that track you provided.

Hardcore?

*cackles*

Yeah I don't get The Cure being there either... can't imagine all the goths coming out in the hot Miami heat to see them :lol I guess every year they have one or two "mainstream" groups with slight ties to electronic music just to expand things a bit. I'm mostly interested in seeing some of the middle-tier DJs and artists who I might not normally get to see. Last year I was pretty excited to get the chance to see Grayarea, Infusion, Sub-Focus, Infected Mushroom, Carl Cox, Misstress Barbara, DJ Rap (who had like maybe one or two people watch her play), and Donald Glaude. And of course the usual faves like Danny Howells and Sander K.

Last year it got a bit too crowded towards the end of the night, especially during Prodigy and PVD's sets. During the daytime it was fine, and some of the tents were actually pretty deserted. I'm hoping by them splitting the festival up into 2 days, it won't be nearly as crowded, and I hope they get the VIP situation straightened out this year so that VIPs will actually have better viewing spots for some of the bigger DJs.

Not really into happy hardcore, although some freeform is OK... that guy Fight For Freeform is a big fan of the stuff. Sadly, there aren't too many people into electronic music in general on this board, and those who are are usually bickering with each other about music tastes.

boutrosinit - It's March 23 to 25 in Miami.

no, its not hardcore punk.

not sure what you're familiar with, but in terms of EDM (electronic dance music..) genres i guess i should have been more specific - UK hardcore.

and then there's rotterdam hardcore - promo and the likes, thunderdome parties etc... i dig that too. (actually went to a hardstyle party in amsterdam in november - qlimax. holy shit.)

either way, hardcore til i die in the sun is going to be awesomely fun. def not for people who take life or music super seriously- its for the party kids =)

yeah, i shouldnt even bother calling it happy hardcore, cause thats not really what it is anymore. as for all those other artists, i much prefer to see them individually when they come around to ny, as they ALL do (have seen IM a bunch of times, prodigy, donald glaude, carl cox, etc).

that being said, if someone offered me a free trip to WMC/ultra i sure as hell wouldnt turn it down. im sure its really fun, just not something i want to dish out a lot of money on right now. more interested in going to spain to hear the stuff thats really underrepresented in the states.
