Raving Buddies

Just curious guys and gals (and hermaphrodites) to find out how many REAL friends you've made through the rave scene - eg. you went to a rave, met a stranger and became good friends.

Also keen to know how many friends you've LOST through the rave scene for one reason or another.

Share your experiences!

Cheers

nice poll... but ony 10+

BTW what did you click?

I'd say i've made 5 friendships, mainly because i'm very new to the scene. What I have found however is that current friendships are now stronger because of the scene.

There's a group of about 10 of us that go to these events and we're all "closer" for it.


Hrmm wonder if i can ammend the poll to include more choices

made many many friends by simply keep bumping into them every time i go out.

but as for close friends that i associate outside of clubbing, 5

well im pretty new to the whole scene as well, but i got a nice group of freinds with whom i have a crank with. but going out u meet a meet a lot of great people, everyone is just chilled and out to party. it good stuff!

yeah raving with ur mates can really bring u close together as well, infact... thats like us indEcisive?, isint it? Love ya work scotty, im already looking forward to our next rave!

Too many of the friends I made years ago have all gotten old LOL

Luckily I just keep making new ones at every party

I've made heaps. Some I still keep in contact with and others not so much. But definitely made a lot of friends through Heaven.

i have no friends HAHA

i've lot count over the years. many friends have dropped out of the rave scene as they've gotten older, neverthless, I stil lmanage to maintain a pretty huge mix of fellow raver buddies!

Yeah Ive made a few .. most of them I met through Heaven as well! Pretty important people in my life too!

Ive made so many friends in the last year its not funny. Even caught up with new ones i havent seen in years.

and the best thing about anthems is catching up with them again.. everyone seems to be at anthems.. I love it!

that's so true. Heaps of them seem to be at anthems. anthems is an institution.

...an institution for all us crazy anthems lovers.

I too have made many friends thru the rave scene, many of which i still catch up with often. There would be at least 15 of us that still enjoy raving but none of us do it as often as we used too.

The most significant being my lovely fiancee i met at a Ultraworld at St. Pauls, with which ive been for three years and have a beutiful daughter with, so raving for me has brought me complete and utter happines.

And the fact we met in St. Pauls makes every rave their a special one for us.

I made quite a lot of friends through my days at Heaven...

I also still keep in contact with most of my friends that I used to hang out with at the Big Ticket etc.

Obviously though people change and people grow apart which is reality!

Miss quite a few people though!

Holding...back...tears

That's an awesome story dude, very cool.

Guys take note - look for the woman to bare your children at the next rave you go to!

Cheers mate.

I cant say ive made a heap of new friends out in the scene, but its definately brought me closer to the small group of friends which surround me!

However attending raves has allowed me to catch up and socialise with mates that i cant say i would have been able to do if i didnt enjoy the raving scene.

Yay for friends!
Yay for raves!
Yay for anthems!

I've made loads of friends through raving, but way more overseas than in Australia. They just seem to be much more friendly and willing to chat over there.

That line from the Street's tune "What 's your name, where you from, what you on?" is almost a mantra out in the London clubs - and of course it helps having an Aussie accent, they ALL want to hear about our beautiful country!

Raving in Australia has enhanced many existing friendships for me, as being absorbed in our favourite music is such an overwhelming and emotional experience for most of us, sharing that with someone is really a very special thing.

Chucksta - you also brought a tear to my eye, nice to know that music has brought such fulfilment to all aspects of your life

a few... quite a few... but thats beside the point...
How many of these do we see outside of raves?

Pretty much everyone i know these days i have met by going to raves and clubs.. Everyone is always so friendly its amazing what wonderful people and life long friends u can make. big hugs to everyone u all know who u are.. mwah xxx
