I would say go for it... but make sure to take earplugs and shades if you have sensory overloads from bright lights and loud music, and make sure you've got a way out if you do get overloaded. Don't let the naysayers scare you away, though. Every rave I've ever been to or worked at over the years was a very positive, happy and enlightening experience for me (without using any mood or mind altering substances).

Only go if it's a rave with decent people, not some typical Friday night night-club full of drunken hooligans.

Take ear plugs and shades with you, then don't get stuck in the middle of it all so you can easily leave when you feel like it. And eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies for a couple of days before you go. Good nutrition boosts my tolerance like nothing else.


Vegetables are not nutritious. Vegetables are useless garbage.

Eat plenty of meat before you go, for strength.

I love you. :D

Should be the funnest time you'll have with a group of people. You'll need to wander off by yourself at times. Try to take lots of drugs, that makes things more intense. :)

Go for it.. You won't find out unless you try.

It's quite normal to be abnormal at a rave, so don't worry about not fitting in..

They never should have said "God was a DJ" the high water mark was around the early naughties, coincidentally ties in with another water mark gaming noobism. Sadly every man and his dog got on to that one as well , every game these days is ridiculously easy, hard is more an after thought looks in the direction of COD World at war. (veteran) :evil:

When I see self righteous white people shaking their booty to last gen graphics i say| Thats whats wrong with the world, thankfully the Pee will be a museum relic in the next 5 or so years.



Theirs no accounting for good taste.

Well yes I even saw a tv host (Good Game) recently remark ah the 90's, so it must be true.(and he was only in his mid 20's)

I could even buy a house at 3 times 'average earnings" back than. (good luck with that one)

It was sarcasm. Everything thinks things were best when they were in their prime. Raves today are the same as raves throughout history.

Go for it!! Never doubt you can change over the years due to experiencing things, a rave should be no different. I now cope FAR better with life than before I went out into the world and started doing things.
