*incoming transmission*

A campfire under the stars flickers in the dead desert wind. An old man hunches over and whispers conspiratorially "so many people are lost souls, running on empty. They end up here in search of... transmission fluid."

Indeed. They also go to Pharmacy vs Magic City 'Transmission' @ Metro. Take a thousand ravers, add chemicals, pumping hard dance and glow sticks and you pretty much have this event nailed.

There were three stages per se, with the top floor being uplifting dance, the middle glass room having everything from Prodigy-remixes to D&B, and the main floor being a bastion of all that is bassy, hardcore and flamey. I say flamey because when there werent 3 shaven-head German DJ's pumping up the crowd with Nazi-esque hand movements, there were dancer-girls with hoola-hoops ablaze, doing their thang as it were. Needless to say it was pretty groovy.

We're not evil - we're happy damnit!

Generally at these kinds of things you get up, go crazy and dance, get massages, give them, meet randoms, rinse and repeat. That seemed to be the recipe of the night. Unfortunately there didnt seem to be that many 'nice' people, with a few having a distinctly off-putting vibe, but we live in our own reality where nothing affects us anyways.

Dancing to this stuff made me realise I should do it more often, so I encourage everyone to grab a ticket and join in the bright-coloured fun of the next event. Just dont focus on trudging home, icky and cold, at 9am the next morning. No, never focus on that!

We may rave but we're not crazy - smoking is baaad mmkay?

Short and sweet, just how I like em. I agree that the vibe sucked at that event, but let's not give up I'm sure we will find the rainbow!

Do you want to do a mini-rave sometime at 3d or the likes? Maybe the ppl will be cooler there, although I can't be certain these days:(
