THE TEN+ COMMANDMENTS OF RAVE
*Thou shalt not kill the atmosphere with overt sex on the dancefloor.
*Thou shalt not holdest a 40 while dancing, for the other ravers shall not hold him guiltless, who wields a Colt 45 on the dance-floor.
*Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors glowstick, niether his nitrous balloon, nor his ecstasy, nor his spot on the dancefloor.
*Thou shalt not holdest thy cigarette while catching a groove on the dance floor. For the other ravers might suffer burning flesh wounds or ruined rave gear.
*Thou shalt smile at the gentleman or lady moving to the beat nearest thou.
*Thou shalt not upset the holy Technics by jumping near or on the DJ.
*Thou shalt not play gabber in the chill room.
*Thou shalt wear extra deoderant so as not to offend thy neighbors nose.
*Thou shalt use smoke so as to better envelope thy fellow ravers.
*Thou shall announce all disc jockeys prior to their appearance.
*Thou shall provide free fruit so as to replenish the thirst and appetites of thy bretheren ravers.
*Thou shall open some door so as to allow the winds of freshness to cool thy congregation.
*Thou shalt offer gum, candy, and most importantly WATER to those raving maniacs with whom thou cometh in contact.
*Thou shalt not touch thine mouth to thine neighbor's water bottle, as plague and virus thus spread rapidly throughout the community.
*Thou shalt not grimace nor act angry when bumped by a passer-by, but smile and say: "no problemo."
*Thou shalt blow thy party whistle and wave thine hands in the air when the music lifts thine spirit.
*Thou shalt not pass out chemical concoctions of thine own invention to fellow ravers. Only those tried and true chemical combinations that have been accepted by ravers since time immemorial shalt thou pass out.
*Thou shalt not scam thy fellow raver.

10 Rules of Raving
1. Knowledge is power in all scenes, so don't be afraid to ask the "old schoolers" questions, no matter how stupid you may think they (the questions, not the "old schoolers") are.
2. The scene is based on the music, not the drugs, if you can't have fun at a party sober then you shouldn't be going at all.
3. If you do choose to do the drugs PLEASE do so responsibly. If you go to the gas station the morning after a party and the clerk can tell that you are on drugs then you have done too much. And never buy from someone you do not know-- if you do then eventually you will get ripped off and/or you may put something into your body that you can't handle.
4. If you choose to do drugs be discrete about it. Drugs ARE illegal! They are what gives the scene a bad name, so be smart about it, it only takes one arrest/OD/bltantly obvious drug user to shut down an entire party.
5. VERY IMPORTANT-----Know your promoters. Ask around before attending an event thrown by a promoter that you have never heard of. This could save you a night of stress and $$$$$.
6. Know the music. If you can tell the difference between glass and crank, but don't know the difference between Ambient and Happy Hardcore then maybe you need to re-evaluate your priorities.
7. Practice PLUR......Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. If this is a bit too much for you to do all at once then at least start out with Respect, for EVERYONE.
8. Try to steer away from forming cliques, this isn't high school.
9. Have fun and DANCE, that's what it's all about. It doesn't matter if you can dance or not. If you are contributing to the positive energy of the party then that's all that counts.
10. Years from now (or even now) remember what it was like to be a newbie to the scene and treat the newbies you meet the way that you want to be treated now. Educate them; don't look down upon them, they are the only way that the scene will continue to thrive.
