Get Rave

By Chris Milbourn

Published on April 26, 2007

Ever heard of fishing for ravers? It's when you hook a glow stick to the line of a fishing pole, cast it into a crowd of unsuspecting, hippy-flipping rave kids and reel it in when one of 'em reaches for the fluorescent bait. Then you watch the bug-eyed social butterflies give chase. Converted clubbers can get even more post-PLUR nostalgia from the flier for Get Rave, which depicts an assortment of multicolored mock-Ecstasy pills. It says something about the former local rave scene when a one-night renaissance is promoted as a parody. "It's more of a way for people to get together to laugh and say, åI can't believe we used to wear that stuff!'" says DJ Konsept, one of the hosts. (The others are Iggy Baby and Thunderous Olympian.) "But a lot of good music came out of that era, also," he adds. Get your glow sticks at the door.
