[DC related]

My guess is you'll find raves wherever there are no black people.

That must be a mid west thing.


From the first rave I went to in the early 90's (In the UK & Toronto) to the last one I ever went to in the late 90's there were always plenty of people of all colours.

We did the sound for a ton of parties through out those days. I'd always get a kick outta hot gurls showing up, but when they left at 10 in the morning, they all looked like zombies!
 
RI at least.

Srly tho, I would say raves for me is somewhat of a Midwest thing -- Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin -- lots of people "raved". One time, after Deep Dish a event in Milwaukee and I saw a chick with orange camouflage pants -- cheese camo, it was crazy. Detroit, Michigan raved, too, but not sure if that is still considered Midwest.
 
Cause i am so sick of em. And the people who play at them, post the flyers for them, etc.

Elise,

I would have thought this type of thing would be just up your aisle. Go to one before you start being judgmental!!! Don't front. Nobody fronts on your hipster loft party lifestyle. Anyway, I go every Saturday to raves. PLUR for life.

still ravin' in Richmond.
this is actually one of their better flyers.
 
Whatever, in 10 years (probably less) someone will collect a bunch of these flyers and put out a boutique book chronicling yet another oft-ridiculed and currently unappreciated medium.
 
man i wish i went to some raves back in the day

in chicago raves were in warehouses and were not just white ppl X_X
 
One time I was at a rave a few blocks from Comisky Park. DJ Hyperactive was playing. In the corner of the warehouse was a giant pile of inflatable Enegizer Bunnies, it was crazy.

You and your crazy pictographs.

Dude, I think you ought to know whats being hatted on here... you know how cornball over 99% of "raves" ever have been, and you know that shit deserves to be ridiculed. I know dance music has always been taken more seriously in Chi, but if they called them raves back in the day too thats too bad, cuz the term has some seriously negative connotations.
