I have worn many hats in my life, but I can't just be satisfied with just one. Most things in life are worth the struggle, and no one will help me or hold my hand, so I (mostly) do it all. Will fight engineers and users for change. (ง'̀-'́)ง

YendorNG goes to a Rave

Posted by YendorNG - September 9th, 2023


iu_1072742_10429544.webpSo earlier in the month I got a text from an old rave friend who wanted me to come out and go Raving. I was very hesitant to do so --being a bit of recluse and all. But I went and boy was impressed.

The event was a reunion/birthday party for DJ Hartshorn. 2 DJ I used to hang out with were also there: JustRob, Genki, and one half of Donk Squad, DJ Dink-E.


Just Rob was estatic to see me. Since he left the navy, he now works for Microsoft and is living his best life. Look at him bang on this tiny tambourine! :F

Dink-E was so happy to see me and he recently has some surgery done and he is doing better then ever, hes also pretty happy I found a better place to express myself creatively on NewGrounds (me on the right reppin' the tank)

DJ Hartshorn did a little dance.

I forgot to take Genki's picture (as I was too busy having fun. The venue was a Karaoke bar with karaoke rooms in the back like you'd see in Asian countries like Japan. The common areas though is where I was mostly at.

I also realized how much I've changed physically since I went to work for Amazon. It felt amazing to be complimented on how awesome I looked. Some other people also noticed the NG logo and fondly spoke of NG when they were younger back in the day. I told them we are still here and kicking.


What a wonderful time it was. And I wanna do it again! Maybe @vividlance and I can come up with something. Lol!


Take care out there!

I love Raves and nightclubs.

Good to know the practice of wearing the NG shirt, getting people saying they loved NG as a kid, and reminding them that NG is still around is something other people experience LOL.

Did you see a submarine and a pirate parrot

I want that NG shirt

that's cool in my imagination a rave was a place where there was the music and the colorful lights on and off on and off on and off on and off, then everyone high on acid, lsd, michael douglas, etc

Unfortunately Raves get bad rap because of the drug use. People are not wrong, a lot of warehouse and basement type ones I went to prior to covid did have lots of it going on.

Cartoon parodies like the Rick and Morty ones are common, but often don't reflect reality. It did feed back into the rave culture though because we think that stuff is funny and we throw themed parties around those parodies. :p

Drugs are a choice. I chose not to because I've seen people do really stupid things.

That's dope! Looks like you had a great time!

It was amazing!

@YendorNG Goddamn! That's expensive from where i live (Indonesia) but im gonna save this incase if i needed

damn! i wish there could be raves like those here in Chile!

I'm sure they exist. Just gotta get to be an adult first and look through the internet or look at flyers.
