OVERDOSING ON NOTHING

"I am trippin... I keep thinking that everyone here is a DJ I know, like: that is RAW."

"That is RAW." says G-String, also know as "Mike."

"Really? No fucking way! That is some krazy shit!" But there is no way that other dude was Jayvon, and hey, that's not Hazen over there, is it? No, it's not, you see, I was trippin, but I wasn't. Rockstar + Vodka + one little puff of wacky tobbaccy? That can't be enough to make me trip out.

It was the womb like atmosphere that triggered the frying sensation, and it seemed so suddenly clear to me the deepest connection with raving, and yes, this was a rave. No Drug Dealers, no Permits, no Lasers, no Promoters handing out fliers, no too much of much. 90 people, an LCD projector, DJs and minimal techno in a small dark box. Pulsating rhythms, mothers blood pumping, heart beating, lungs breathing. The warm, dark atmosphere. No wonder it makes you feel so close to those around you.

I actually started to howl like a wolf. But why? Well, I was tripped out by all that prenatal stuff, of course. It was overwhelming, really, it was. But was it really? What was so overwhelming? The simple music? The low budget visuals? The Go-Go dancer that was often motionless? Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe. Boop, Be-Doo-Dupe, Do Do Dupe.

There was barely enough to dance to, and yet I injured my left elbow from moving too suddenly too many times. Too bad, that was my new move.

People cheered and screamed at the DJs, everyone was just so into the music, and there was just so little there. You could imagine only a keyboard and drum set making up the records, and it was that simplicity that made it so provocative. Pure, Beautiful, Modern - Art.
