Rave In The Cave.

It does make me chuckle when people have preconceptions of each other that are later proved false. In this particular situation I am of course referring to the fact that many people were shocked to find out that I was to be attending Rave In The Cave last Friday. People who really know me know that I could have hours of fun in a rave if only the right music were played... Yes I am still grieving that not one Pendulum song was played.

Anyway, it was quite a bit of fun. Going with Lauren and Gemma was always going to make it a hyper event made all the worse by the fact that we all bought Relentless right before. I happened to drink mine just a little too fast and so I spewed in a toilet. Fun fun.

I would like to comment on Gemma's outrageous outfit and I commend her for being brave enough to be so bold and daring. Also, the look on people's faces was pretty priceless. Sort of like "What? She came to a rave dressed in bright colours! That is shocking." It's not really if you think about it.

The queue outside was very unorganised if I do say so myself although you should not really listen to my critical analysis as I am a person of many lists. Many lists. In fact, I'm so organised that this blog has an order to it. Anyway, considering there were only a few hundred people it was quite shameful that it took them over an hour to let us in. Speaking of unorganised it was also tragic that there was no toilet roll in the toilets.

Walking through the underground tunnels of Fort Amherst was pretty awesome. You could hear the music pounding through the tunnels and it was dark and people were running around and you get my point. Then you walk into the tiny room where the rave is and it was sort of like 'Okaaay..." but we found the even smaller upstairs room where the bands were playing so it was all good.

This is the point where I say I don't need to go into too much detail. There were drunk people staggering around, people blatantly stoned and just generally people getting up to ALL sorts of innappropriate stuff. Yes, I am against alcohol and drugs.

There were some pretty good unknown bands there. We got in a few mosh pits, lost some glow sticks, did some headbanging, fell over, got some high fives off the band members. Stuff like that. It was all just good fun.

I have still to make up my mind about the rave downstairs though. Lauren and I went down to see what it was like and they played a few decent songs but it wasn't dark enough, not crowded enough and they played radio songs. Who does that? Still we got in a few photos and my hips were pretty darn sore by the end of it.

The last band on were the best there from what I saw. I somehow managed to bend my ankle at the strangest angle, mess my right leg up, bash my elbow and hit my head on a solid floor in about five seconds. Woop woop, got a couple of decent bruises.

Overall, it was a good night.
