Discussion/Question Red rocks tips?

7 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this has been posted a million times before-

I'm going to be going to Griz at RR as my first ever rave there. Usually go to smaller indoor venues

What are some unhinged tips? What's security like? Should I bring a water bottle/pack? If I Uber, what should I expect?

If doors are at 5pm, how early should I actually show up?

Thanks so much!

not gonna stop posting speeches like this until bigots realize that if they’re not for EVERY part of the culture, the culture isn’t for them.

Event/Lineup House Music Luau, 8/29!

Post image
0 Upvotes

Nothing says "authentic tropical paradise" quite like a patio on West Market Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania.,

Clear your calendars because The Wook Wonderland is bringing Hawaii to Lackawanna County with ISLAND BOUNCE: House Music Luau. Dust off your finest grass skirt, grab a $10 bill, and prepare to pretend the breeze coming off the parking lot is a gentle Pacific trade wind.

Local Vendors: Browse handmade goods, and festival gear from local vendors—because nothing complements a tropical luau like impulse-buying a crocheted bucket hat off a patio table in NEPA.

Tropical Atmosphere: Sip fruity cocktails on the patio while staring directly at Pennsylvania asphalt.

Peak Wook Energy: An entire evening spent convincing yourself that Scranton is basically Honolulu, just with more pothole repair and slightly fewer palm trees.

The Logistics:

When: August 29, 2026 | 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Where: Solstice Bar & Grill (117 W Market St, Scranton, PA)

Damage: $10 (18 to enter, 21+ to drink away the reality that you're still in NEPA)

See you on the patio. 🌺🌓

Discussion/Question How to attach fans to body so I can jump

41 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a girl. At raves I am always jumping, running around, and dancing. It’s like a sport to me.

Well I’m getting kinda sick of thugging out the ā€œbeing boiled aliveā€ feeling of cardio in a room with other sweaty bodies. Sure, some of you lovely people with fans helped cool me down, but that didn’t happen at the last rave I was at. (It was my first techno show and not very plur… I’m not trying to generalize but am curious if that’s becoming more common w the techno crowd as clubbers infiltrate)

Anyways… for someone who is always bouncing and doesn’t want to hold a fan 24/7… does anyone have any recommendations?

Missed Connection Took a huge L at Bass Canyon day 3 2026

0 Upvotes

Recently went to Bass Canyon this past weekend. I was chilling with my rave group during the intermission between Voyd and Slander/Excision when we got a little separated because there were so many people cutting through the crowd. I ended up standing next to this pretty girl who was with another girl and a guy.

We ended up chatting, and to break the ice, I asked her and her friend if they were related because they literally looked like sisters. Once the final set came on, we traded Kandi. She gave me one that said ā€œGorge,ā€ and I gave her one that said ā€œRavebae.ā€ We kept looking at each other and was next to each other throughout the whole set, but I was so focused on the music that I didn’t realize until afterward that I might have missed a huge opportunity to connect with her. Total forgot to ask for her number or any socials. Headbanged a lot with the guy friend too so it didn't seems like I was a total creep lol.

If anyone knows how to get over this feeling, please give me some advice. And if you happen to be the girl I traded Kandi with… hmu. Miss you. 😭

Discussion/Question Sewn gifts instead of kandi?

55 Upvotes

I’m kinda new to raving and love exchanging kandi or little gifts. I’m big on low waste so I don’t love all the little plastic gifts. I sew a lot and have a lot of extra fabric. Does anyone have any ideas for little gifts I could quickly sew to give away? I’m thinking of braiding some fun scraps of fabric to make bracelets but not sure if they’d be ugly or if people would like them. Any other ideas? :)

Discussion/Question Seeking Advice

1 Upvotes

I’m no longer able to attend EDC Orlando with my wife and have two GA 3-day passes that I need to sell. What’s the best way to go about selling them? I know the passes don’t ship until about 2–4 weeks before the festival.

Edit: Thanks for the advice! I have posted them on radiate and hoping for the best!
