Only back from London,what can i say :eek: fuc*ing amazing Rave,the best ive been to in years without doubt,why can't we put on nites like that here.

Met up with some English mates of mine for a few pre rave beers,queue was massive we had to queue for 40 mins(4,000+ there) but once inside even as early as 10.45 the place was heaving,6 arenas,main arena Old Skool Hardcore,Jungle Arena,Jenkins Lane (Old Skool House/Acid House) Breaks arena,Nu Skool Hardcore arena and the mad hatters Hard House arena so spoilt for choice,not to mention stalls selling records,glowsticks/horns all that stuff and laughing gas deadly i done 4 of them at a pound a go you get some rush from it

The atmosphere was amazing and there wasn't one fight at all which is brilliant when you consider there were about 4,000 there,frienfly security,spliff up no problem if you want,no shortage of chemicals on the nite either;) yours truly was as high as a kite on MDMA crystal,fu*k those skanky pills this stuff is the real deal if you can get it (dont confuse it with MDMA powder this is like brown sugar and has to be bonged in a rizzla ) the music was quality i was in all the arenas but the Jenkins lane musically for me ranked as the best house classic after classic played,amazing,the old skool arena was the business as well Krome and Time http://www.discogs.com/artist/Krome+%26+Time played a deadly PA as did Demolition Cru earlier on in the nite,i even enjoyed the hard house arena for a while the place was rocking as was the hardcore arena,the jungle arena was awesome as well,the whole nite was the business so so much different from your usual club this is a proper rave,no stupid dress code,security sound,the crowd up for it bigf time,light show/lazers top notch,well worth the 18 sterling,jaysus you pay €20 into some place like spirit and it's full of wan**rs and the atmosphere hasn't a patch on this,honestly cant wait for the next one on April 29th i think it is,this was the biggest nite in London on Saturday there were people trying to get in @ 3am just goes to show you how popular Raindance still are which i think is amazing considering they were formed in 1989 and are still going but only put on about 3 events a year but they are not to be missed.

I took some photos and amazingly i shot about 20 videos on my digital camera/camcorder (on a mad one lol) ranging from 30 seconds to 3 1/2 mins and they look the business,here's a little taster anyway (Real Player only) if anyone wants ill upload more of the videos but check this for now and let me know what you think,RAINDANCE = RESPECT

heh, i'd usually just dab away at it.
tis ****ing mental stuff altogether, a couple of tiny dabs would have me mashed for the night:p

sounds like a quality night out, would be tempted to go to london for a proper clubbing weekend some time

Scubadevils

would love to have got over to that, maybe one day when we can get a babysitter

as for the other stuff, have yet to have the pleasure...sick of being told it can be got and then it cant

Yeah you can dab it as well but the taste is vile,im amazed i done a gram of it in one nite as it lasts for ages but i was hammered, amazingly this was only second ever time to take it but absolutely amazing stuff,really clean and such a euphoric high just like pills back in the day,no comedown either yesterday i left the Raindance afterparty @ 10.30 sunday morning and(somehow) got a tube back to me hotel and slept until that nite people should seriously consider going to the next Raindance ill definitely be going,atmosphere was amazing,it was a quality quality nite,whatcha think of the video?;)
