Eh.
If you want a rave, go to a real rave.  They are more like hyperactive dances with con-folk.

what time do the start and end at usually?

Post by: Tuplica on March 15, 2006, 06:25:23 PM
There's usually 3, I think.  With an extra theme-oriented one on Thursday possible for people who pre-regged.  I don't know when they start or end, but they're long.  Long meaning several hours.

The closest thing will probably be the dance nights, which are pretty much every night from 10 to 2, I believe.

I wouldn't really consider it a real rave...>_> (Thats good, right? Real raves usually = Ecstacy and we don't need that cause we all know you can get those fun hallucinations  from just staying up all weekend during the Con, right? ;P And no, I'm not suggesting staying up the entire duration of the convention. Sleep is your friend).


Anyway...it's a dance. >.> And just a bunch of people waving cool glowy sticks around :3 Glowsticks are shiny.


I like shiny.

[EDIT]: PLEASE, don't make that dance in the huge room again! That sucked. I liked it better in the smaller rooms. >.> lyk srsly ya kno!!!1one. Much better. Big space = no.

It's definitely being moved.  I don't know what room they're putting it in, but another thread noted that the arcade was being moved to the room the dance was in this year.  Which is just fine by me.  The dance nearly seems cursed roomwise- everything's either way too small or way too gigantic (I prefer gigantic) but hopefully this year'll be an improvement on all fronts!

Yes, the dance is being moved to a smaller room this year. Which one exactly escapes my mind at the moment. I *think* the room is bigger than C, which was where it was in 04.

A lot of things are going to be put into exhibit hall 1 (artists row, demo stuff, among others) and 3 (arcade and others), so it's not like we'll be dumping events in a large space like the dance last year.... and feel all... small, for lack of a better word.

Aren't the dances limited to only people who pre-registered?

Might be an off-topic question, but since the thread is about dances, it might fit.
Title: raves at fanime?
Post by: Tuplica on March 25, 2006, 08:07:49 PM
No.

There was a dance on Thursday last year that was reserved for those who pre-regged- but that made sense, since aside from the staff, pre-reg people were the only ones there.  (You can pick up pre-regged badges on Thursdays if you want)

The other dances are open to anybody who registered.

This rave has to be better than the one in Denver. I think at the last one my friends described to me people reaching in the air looking for an invisible rope..  There weren't even any drugs... :shock:

Title: the dance hall
Post by: Saffy on April 23, 2006, 11:52:51 PM
yeah last year the dance room was already quite oversized
nothing wrong with a little shrinkage for proportion
although the air was stuffy already, wonder what a smaller room will be like?

you can keep your ex, I've got PEZ to keep me sugar hyped for the night!
Title: Dances are funnn
Post by: Punkre on April 24, 2006, 12:08:26 AM
Yea i had fun at last years dance, no it wasnt a rave but considering that most of the dances i used to go to where School held i consider this to be much better than any of those,(just by the fact i got kicked off the stage when i requsted Techno and they wouldnt play it says enofe) Yea i think one of my firends was one of the guys dancing without a shirt on(hes not coming this year :) the dances uselly run from 10-um i dont think they technically stop, its more like everyone is exhausted and the DJ realises no one is left on the dance floor. Also the Dance floor wasw way to huge last year, seriously it was like the size of the dealers room. Anyways its fun every year except could we pls when we get in to a big circle eventually go back to all dancing.

I really liked the music there at the con when I went to the Friday night dance. Breakbeats and anime remixes would've also been pretty cool, too. I wanted to ask some requests but I was thinking of what the con-folk like so I just let it be.

Thank you for considdering the other peoples choice of music zeta. we Djs are up there doing our job, and our job is to play music people like so leave the tracklists up to the djs. i cant tell you how annoyed we get when people try to talk to us during our sets to tell us to play songs we dont even have. some guy stoped me and asked me to play some e40. this might be a news flash but im a bloody trance dj.

Cheers,
Stormy (Dave S)

I liked the "raves" other than the BO from some of the dancers, and some of the songs, it was fun.

The dances saturday and sunday were great!  I wanted to go Friday too, but when I looked in there were only like 10 people on the floor so I decided to skip it.  I felt very left out not having any glowsticks though, next year I'll have to bring some.
The big break dance circles on Sunday were fun, but I think somebody should have told the guy who kept trying to do handstands and then almost hitting the crowd when he fell (every single time I might add) to stop trying to do handstands...
To the two girls who danced with me Sunday, thanks you made my night (even though I only danced with the first one for a couple of minutes, and I never caught the second girls name...)
Also to the parents who brought in their two children, yah, NO!  Seriously what the crap were you thinking!?  It was like 11:30 at night, children should not be up that late, much less up that late at a rave  :evil:
Also big props to the DJ's even with the tech difficulties on Sunday.  You guys rocked!
PS
What was the last song you played on Sunday, well I guess technically it was Monday?  I think it was a remix of the Neon Genisis Evangelion theme but I'm not sure...

I believe ur right about the last song. The size of the room was perfect for the rave. Went on Friday - not much happening. Went Sunday night/Monday morning and it was awesome, the DJs were great.

Note to self: for 2007 get a glowstick dammit
