Peanut Butter PLUR: Power Ravers

Raves are an amazing thing, and this past weekend was one of the most amazing raves I've ever been to in Brooklyn, NY. December 3, 2011, Electric Warehouse AKA The Lab was where this historic night of epicness went down. It was a Power Ranger themed party, complete with two floors, VIP booths, UV body painting, full bar, gogo dancers (like their page!), light shows (like woah), a 30 foot Megazord, not to mention the #1 Beatboxer in America, Jflo!!

This rave was no joke, there were easily 800+ people there. Now I personally went there a little early to help set the place up. I asked around to see who needed help with what, and I met up with Andrew, AKA StoryTime and built the aforementioned Megazord, it took five hours to piece that baby together! But it was totally worth the time and effort. It was sick, we're talking lasers shooting out of his eyes. The coolest part is, Andrew put this baby together but measuring a Megazord he had on a sweatshirt and scaling it up! Mad props on that!

Once the doors opened up and the music started playing everyone was hitting the dance floor! By Midnight the entire place was packed with people. To describe the atmosphere in one word, euphoric. The thing about raves like this are that no matter who you are, what you do, how you dance...you are accepted into the scene. There are so many people that are real, others are there to just party, but in the end it's all about the vibes.

Quick shout-out to RACIST BUNNY W@X and Jake Dukes for putting on some Skrillex for me! Made my night guys, sick set, my glasses flew off my face, I lost them, and didn't even care!!

There were a ton of glovers there too. I met up with StoryTime, Daiki, Tails, Betsley, Supa Nova, Cookie Monster, Sarcastic...just to name a few. The thing with gloving is that you need to go out and actually do it. When you get to glove with other glovers you get to learn some new technique and critique each other. It's a growing experience, but you still need to practice technique at home all the time. Slow, fast, new stuff, new angles, switch it up...you grow like crazy and fast if you practice.

Of course there were also orbits, glow sticks, poi, and even fire poi happening! It's all so sick, and these cats know how to throw their lights!

The Peanut Butter family threw an amazing party, the DJs killed it, and it was the most unreal feeling to be surrounded by such positive feelings. Check out some pictures that already went up!
