    There’s a massive ‘secret warehouse’ partay tomorrow. 4 (!) very serious sound systems… but it’s word of mouth and I haven’t spoken to my raver buddies since 2020.

    So here you are, well into your 30’s trying to remember how to get secret illegal partay location like the old days.

        In my 40s and first thing I would ask, is there free parking within walking distance?

                Tell me about it! I was commenting this morning about how I would love to start work much later and finish later, but even my post-work commitments start early evening. I’m a night owl and found the goth life after realising how much I cherish midnight compared to midday. Why can’t life suit us nocternal lovers?

                Ohhh I think I’ve seen a flyer for this at my friend’s place (also a 40s raver, I’m sure you two probably have mutual friends) kinda cool this stuff still happens.

            Running water on site? Fire extinguishers definitely (assuming smoking is allowed)?

        The funny thing is that the people who build these rigs and throw these partays are probably in their 40/50s+. It’s extreme dedication. This is one (1!) of the rigs.

        The police will break this up for sure unless it’s somewhere pretty remote.

      I feel I missed a trick by never attending a secret warehouse rave. Granted a good portion of my youth was spent in the country, so I’d have to steal myself away to Melbourne when I could, which meant drinking in pubs and what not. A few clubs… but yeah, were I younger and not so concerned about getting enough sleep, I’d definitely want to learn the secret handshake to get in :)

        If I were going for broke (which I rarely ever did) I woulda done a bush doof. You know what they say about sex whilst camping.

          No, do enlighten me hahah

          The most we ever did go to various people’s properties and have massive bonfires. Melted my blundstones one night before I fell asleep too close to the fire and woke up wonder why my foot felt so hot.

            Apparently, it’s fucking-in-tents. Used to love a bonfire in a paddock back in the day.

        No this one is called ‘Breach the peace’. It’s sound system culture so dub, reggae dnb etc.

        It isn’t a ticketed event just a 10 buck donation on the night which goes towards peace in west papua.
