rave
I went to a rave called "" with kousu , winged_spirit , j2, and thewizard . It was super classy (and my first rave) :) Since it was a bring everything you need type underground rave I started off going to get water & f00d type stuff from sobeyes for the win, where I made a few less than stellar purchasing decissions (I think I bough a bag of pretezels and a bag of some form of salted nuts whithout thinking that the salt would result in thirst). I also got a bunch of gatoraid and water for the win. Headed back to nick's place to eat pasta and put stuff in the freezer. We swung by the csc so thewizard could get his bag, and to pick up j2. Turnkey people, as always proved to be awesome selling both greyhound tickets and ear plugs (which weren't needed after all). We then headed down to the bus stop for the win, and nick ran back to grab his belt barely missing the bus for the lose. Fortunately, the #8 was along shortly and much classiness. Exchanging of cell phone #s encase stuff went sideways. We hung around in the bus terminal waiting for the greyhound, and I ate some of the leftover pasta from earlier.
We also met up with a raver who was going to the same rave (although I didn't see them later on, its possible he stayed at the first party he was going to). On the bus down I sat next to j2 and in between naps and eating way too many Swedish berries talked about various applications of AI. winged_spirit had a deck of cards of things to do while still a teenager (which at that point she had 2 days left to do them in), some of which were most classy. Once we got into toronto we met up with becky and headed down to the checkpoint (7-11) for the rave.
The location was kind of sketchy, there was not much in the way of lighting for the path (glowsticks here & there). j2 apparently closed the door on thewizard for the lose. Once we got inside though the music was super classy and most the people there were awesome. It took me awhile to adjust to the different sort of crowd, but it was a lot of fun. At two different points in the evening everyone had to be quite because there were cops walking around, but for some reason most people didn't seem to want to quite down. I had brought a bunch of candy with me, so the first time they turned of the music I started to give it out to people (including the semi-stressed out organizer guy) who seemed happy to have candy :) kousu had lent me his most stylish set of plastic star type things which were chained together and were stylish. A few hours in to the rave I gave up on my thoroughly soaked t-shirt and went bare back for the win. I had brought some water guns with me, which I attempted to shoot myself with (to cool down), but didn't manage to succeed (somehow winged_spirit got one of them to work). Much glowsticks for the win. I don't think I can really describe what the rave was like, but everyone there was getting into the music and it was super fun (compared to other non-raves but music things I've been too where people seem afraid to dance). We stayed until about 4am (I think) at which point we headed out in the quest to find a coffee place or something open 24 hours.
kousu had brought some trippy 3-d glasses type things with him that everyone enjoyed greatly while wandering. We eventually ended up at a 24 hour McDs where the washrooms were a substantial improvement over the rave ones (running water, light , etc.). Since the TTC doesn't run early on Sunday mornings and becky needed to get to work so we all huddled around the bus stop (in group hug fashion, except for j2 who seemed to need the fresh air). Afterwards I attempted to piggy-back winged_spirit since her foot was hurting, but failed after about a block. We then hung around the greyhound terminal in toronto and gaelen and I both had some really nasty coffee before getting on the bus. I recall being really pumped when getting on the bus and falling asleep a few minutes later for the win. Arrived in waterloo, obtained bus tickets, did the group hug thing once again to stay warm while waiting for GRT, arrived back at university and promptly passed out.
I'm sure I've left out tons of stuff, but hey whatever.
