      Hey, i’m a third year uni student and my dissertation is on rave music and the culture surrounding it (i still can’t believe i managed to convince them to let me do it either!) and basically i need some first hand accounts and stories of people’s experiences of rave when they first got into it, and how the scene is now. if anyone would like to help i’d love to hear their stories, opinions, general rants about the rave scene and you’d be helping me loads! i will be using them for my second chapter and they will be totally annonymous apart from your partyvibe name, so if you aren’t ok with that just leave it, but if you don’t mind and have any stories or opinions you want to get off your chest i’d really appreciate hearing them. thanks in advance to anyone who responds to this. come on…it’s your chance to tell all those mental rave stories we all have and love to tell people about!

            well obviously it isn’t my intention to make people feel like lab rats, but if thats how you feel then ignore me. i’m just interested in what other people think.

            i’ve been raving for quite a few years now and am just really chuffed that i’m being allowed to work on something that i’m interested in and feel passionate about, which is also why i want to be able to do my project justice and show a broad spectrum of ideas and opinions which i can back up with first-hand research that doesn’t just come from my mates! i’m not trying to analyse anyone, just trying to properly represent the raving community, which i think is more diverse in terms of people, ideas and opinions than any other i have ever experienced. some people don’t like to be referred to as part of a ‘scene’ or community and think that to define it as such is to label it which is often percieved as a negative thing. i disagree. i have never experienced such a communal spirit as it exists within the rave scene, and to deny its existence is to deny what makes it so damn special.

            anyway, if you want to help me out by contributing then do so, if not then don’t. i appreciate your comment anyway.

                  If someone wants to be totally anonymous they can send their account to me and I will forward it to Ketamina with a note identifying it as not being mine :groucho:but from a pv user [anonymous].

                  I assure you I will not pass on your identity to her.

                    ‘Farmer Barnrave’ blog taken from my myspace account. A light hearted approach, hopefully it might help. Feel free to edit and make any necessary changes if you decide to. Regards, Holeydel

                    AAARRRR!! Hold up a mo, let me put you up to date. My sis was down this weekend along with her fella Bongo which really only meant one thing, a rave was on the cards. Only question was where in fuck will we end up this time? It was another one of those ‘phone this number after midnight and we’ll let you know’ type raves. Read my ‘Road Rave’ blog and you’ll get an idea. So began the pre-rave ritual: First to an off licence to buy a crate, next was pull out an atlas to help with directions, put on a pair of old trainers (bloody forgot that one didn’t I) and finally, make sure I was wearing a rave hat. Phoned the rave number and the next stop was Swindon, some 75 miles away and the closest I’ve ever intentionally been to Wales. Better bring my packed lunch then. Turns out we’re heading off into the sticks somewhere to rave it up in some poor farmers barn. After then driving at 30 miles an hour through all these narrow country roads for what seemed like an eternity we finally arrived into the barn sometime after 4am and was ready to bounce around in all the mud, amongst other shite. Walking towards the barn dodging between the cars I finally gave up cursing to myself after stepping in the fifth cow pat. Before we met the barn entrance we had to get past ankle deep rivers of shite by crossing an obstacle course made up of beams of wood, sheet metal, planks, not to mention doing it without bumping into other ravers crossing. Proper Crystal Maze stuff it was, half of me was expecting to go arse over tit whilst the other half expected a baldy fucker at the end of the course handing me a crystal telling me I have an extra 5 seconds in the Crystal Dome.

                    More worryingly though, I had the distinct feeling I’d be falling in that shit river later in the morning.

                    There we were then, raving in a barn for the next few hours meeting fellow techno freaks, exchanging stories of other parties, finding out how far everyone had travelled from etc etc. And then came the idea of having some laughing gas…

                    Feeling myself blacking out I still had enough sense to think to myself ‘I will NOT be falling in that shit river!’ and used all of whatever conscious energy I had left to run to what was probably only half clean area of the farm. A quick blackout and mini-fit later I’ve jumped back on my feet with a worrying look coming from my sister and Bongo in hysterics wishing he’d caught the fall on camera. And they say balloons are for children. They never taught me that trick at the Ronald McDonald parties.

                    Taking a break from the raving we crashed out in a great big pile of animal feed which was so soft if you weren’t careful you’d soon sink down and be swallowed underneath. There are probably a couple of passed out ravers still under there as I write this. Poor farm animals will get a shock when their farmer accidentally gives them a couple of bodies to feed on.

                    Waking up from my slumber at 7 in the evening on the Sunday and feeling more wrecked than a porn star breaking some sort of record, I opened my eyes to reveal that I’d somehow managed to take half the farm with me when I returned home. There was mud and compost all over the floor, I had animal feed stuck to my back which was a right bastard to get off, and there was a distinct ‘moooo’ sound coming from my closet – but I daren’t not look. I went back to bed again at 2am and, for now, I’m feeling good. Until the next one at least….
