Pokeball December! Gotta Catch 'Em All!!

Another weekend another awesome rave! This one a little different from the last with a lot of familiar faces! This event took place in a spot that I don't think has a name, you wouldn't even recognize it as a party going on if you were just walking by the place. It was a bit smaller compared to a warehouse, you actually had to walk up two flights of stairs to get into the spot. Once upstairs the party was raging! There were probably around 500 people at the height of the party, but it felt like a lot more due to the size.

You had two rooms, the main room and one behind it. This was actually a twelve hour party! So in that time you had 24 DJs spinning some dubstep, trance, and a whole lot of hardstyle. I'm not too much a fan of hardstyle, but it got pretty crazy at some points. To add to the atmosphere you had a kandi making table (that pretty much became a couch by the middle of the party), face painting by Pixel and his crew, Kevin Carpet, and a whole lot of lasers/projectors/lights illuminating both rooms. Aside from the two rooms there was also a rooftop you could go out onto to get some fresh air or a smoke. It was freezing outside, but that didn't stop many people from going out there to hang out.

For me, this was an awesome party to glove at. I met some sick glovers from 666 Lights, Liquid Emotions, and of course Emazinglights. This was a Pokemon themed party (duh), so I got into my blue suit and dressed up like Poliwhirl! At one point of the night, I was in the second room where the DJ was dropped some sick dubstep mixed with rap. I was giving one kid a show and three more gathered around to enjoy the lights. When the beat dropped it was almost as if my hands were moving the party and everyone started jumping, the vibes in the room were so tight everything was flowing!

Also at the party was a good friend and extremely talented glover SupaNova. I had the opportunity to watch him give a personal show to this one girl like I've never seen before. He incorporated her whole body into it, using her hands as tools to expand his show. Without sounding too corny, it was like watching his hands make love to hers. I've never seen anything like this, I was blown away by how in sync he was with the music and the connection he was having with the show. If you ever catch SupaNova at an event, you need to say hi and watch him do his thing, it's something else.

I gloved for hours on end, gave a kid his first show ever, did a couple doubles with SupaNova, and learned some new moves from the other glovers there. Practice really pays off, and being able to do it live is a totally different experience from practicing in front of a mirror.

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!

Almost done!!

The Final Painted Laser Shooting 30 Foot Tall Megazord!

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!
