Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/22 18:52Obviously such places are haven for drug users & ravers, and must be shut down...it isn`t conducive for the Kristian Kapitalism Klan at all. I think I shall start a petition that this place be shut down at once, and EVERYONE arrested...promoters, attendees, DJs, Hare Krishnas, visitors, etc. Soooo, all you lovely unique people, I hope you had a wonderful weekend like I did! ~Matthias "My mind is glowing..."
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/22 20:55Oh, did I mention the weather was fantastic? A lite drizzle of rain Saturday night, and some REALLY great/trippy fog....ooohhhhhhh! And Sunday morning was all sunny & beautiful. Ahhh, thank you God. ~Matthias "My mind is glowing..."

Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/24 05:07done some really cool stuff with Laga. I used to hang out there back in college when it was itty-bitty and they turned it into quite the club. Anybody know the story? Metropolis`s still kickin`, right?
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/24 05:32The Pittsburgh scene is good? Ha! I mean, it`s not as bad as it could be, I suppose, but there was like 1 rave in July in the area, if I`m not mistaken. Philly is better, but sometimes I hear the scene is getting a little dirty there...not speaking from first-hand though. ~Matthias
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/24 15:13From what I know of it, Laga moved them out because the liquor sales weren`t high enough. I can double-check on that though. Metropol wasn`t doing anything for a while, but Groove just got moved there, so... To be honest, I wasn`t going to Groove anyway...maybe I should have. It sounded nice, but I just never got around to it...and the times I actually wanted to go (some DJ that I liked was playing, etc.), something friggin` always came up. Maybe I`ll try to go a few times this summer. ~Matthias "My mind is glowing..."
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/24 18:20Oops, someone had to say it (sorry, I just have an extreme dislike for PA- never once have I been to a good event there after countless attempts...seriously disappointing if you ask me ) Blech. Say no to PA. Erika RollerGirl
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/25 02:59How many raves in PA have you been to? When & where? Just wondering! BTW, I kinda have to agree with your sentiments. ~Matthias
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/25 18:59What about them sucked, from your prespective? Bad crowd? Too many people drugged out? No one dancing? Bad production? What? ~Matthias
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/25 23:29while the parties weren`t huge or anything, they well captured the sense of unity more than the parties I see today. I actually had a really interesting conversation with an African-American raver who basically said to me, "Y`know the best thing about this scene? If we met on the street, we wouldn`t even make eye contact." True, true. That and Integral (my first Richie party) remains one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Living in smalltown Indiana, I miss Pittsburgh quite a bit.
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/26 06:03expected to recall each event and what in particular I disliked about them? You`re nuts. In general, when I say an event sucks it means that it was not up to par with my expectations. Furthermore, I have been to enough events to know when an event is good and when an event sucks, so why do I need to justify my opinion? I have had many crappy experiences in PA but April Foolz 2 definitely took the cake there. Nothing has even come close to how bad a party that was. Go search the archives if you want more details.
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/26 08:31Geez Erika, I`m not "questioning" you or trying to make you justify your statements, I`m curious as to why you thought the PA parties were bad. Was it the same something with all the parties? Was it the people? The vibe? The production? Not enough people? DJs sucked? Security was rude? No need to get touchy about this, there were no subversive intentions. ~Matthias "My mind is glowing..."
Re:Ahhhhhh....west & wewaxation - 2006/06/26 15:38go back 10 years and think of why exactly they all sucked specifically. Generally when I believe an event sucks its cuz of poor production, bad djs, bad sound, bad vibes, and inconsiderate (non-PLURy) people. Does that help? ~Erika RollerGirl
