It was so cool to see how many of you came to our Silent Rave Planning Meeting and Brainstorming session on how to make it as "loud" a statement we can make!!
I must say that when I first announced the Rave in my classes, the kids were snickering at the idea...and I felt since I DID live the early Rave scene personally it is my duty to make sure you UNDERSTAND that the birth of the Rave Party, like any worthy shift in society, was deeply rooted in the ANTI-GLOBALIZATION MOVEMENT...and NOT anything else but a response the the "man". The wheels of Globalization began to churn in the 70's guys....long before any of you were even an idea in any ones head....and now we are living it. When I was at the American University in Rome I lived off Via Cavour, and was woken up much and often by demonstrators raising cane under my window. When I asked Marco (the room mate at the time) what all the hub bub was all about...he said that it was an Anti-Globalization demonstration.

In response to the feelings of having to live silly rules because of bar and club owners rules about hours and who DJ's and all the money driven decision making (it is the bottom line that matters for any business) we took our parties underground. Simply because we wanted the freedom to play the music we wanted and to have fun...at least that is how we lived it...in good clean FUN!!! Nothing more, nothing less....sheer adrenalin flowing crazy dancing...House music was what they played before it shifted later years into techno....and now I am so old I doubt that I would actually like the music they play at them things today!! LOL (admittedly aging...changes tastes...really...rotfl!!)
Anywhoo.....so I think I needed to set it straight....Rave like any other YOUTH movement was a good thing...so let's make this community SILENT RAVE next Friday the most coolest thing that S - E has EVER EXPERIENCED!!
It is your generation that has to teach the rest of us to GO GREEN...so lets Reuse, Reduce and Recycle....and Boogie down in Silence....
