Yeah, I’m a genius for not posting events listings this week, but it’s been a bit hectic. I just got back from a great loft party at Classon Ave and Myrtle where none other than Scottie B was DJing! Great time, unforunately I had found out about it this very evening otherwise it would have been great to let you all know about it. So with that in mind, I’m making a promise to make sure I report at least every Friday with better event listings.
And on that note, here’s one for fun on a Sunday afternoon. The Silent Rave is back! We posted about this a few months ago and this one’s going to be bigger and better by what the organizers say.
If you’re not familiar with the Silent Rave, is organized by MindSpace, the same folks that do the huge Pillowfight, Light Saber battles, and bubble-battles in Union Square and in Canada.
So at 5:25pm be at Union Square with one of our SELEKTOR mixes or BEMF Live Sets and dance your booty off!
Fore more info check out the Facebook event page! Here are some basic info they have listed for the Silent Rave:
This set of instructions should comprise answers to most people’s questions:
The basic premise is thousands of people turn up in a public place, plug in their own ipods, listen to their own music and dance and rave for hours!
The prospect of raving like you really don’t care about what other people think, with thousands of fellow dancers, is a bloody brilliant one I think you’ll agree!
The OFFICIAL start time to the event is 5:28pm! IGNORE WHAT THE FACEBOOK TIME SAYS (it doesn’t let you put minutes like 28 in.) Please control your dancing urges until this exact time!
- NO THE MUSIC WILL NOT BE SYNCED FOR EVERYONE. The main point of Silent Raves is that people have freedom to listen to whatever they want, plus this way we get people from all backgrounds, and don’t lose people who wouldn’t like the music we’d play.
- HOWEVER, you are very welcome to coordinate something with your mates/make playlists/set up FM transmitters, but that’ll all be via your own efforts. The official Silent Rave stance is people listen to anything they like.
- There will be a huge countdown started by your’s truly, please no raving before this time! Then its time to go crazy.
- Please respect the other people dancing around you, and also the park! No-one wants a load of litter and bollocks to clean up afterwards, so just use common sense and don’t be a muppet.
- Dress up in whatever you want to, your fellow ravers won’t judge you!
- Show people they should be dancing in the streets, not in their rooms!
Silent Raves are supposed to be entirely non-destructive activities. As far as I know, no rave-related arrests were made back in April at the first, so let’s keep it that way this time too!
I love this city more than any place I’ve ever lived, and I’d quite like to be able to come back in the future, so please be responsible ravers so I don’t get sent to Guantanamo!
