I love going to raves. The first rave that I went to was with my friend Tim along with his friend from high school. I spontaneously bought a ticket to Foam Wonderland. I bought the ticket so that I could go see my number 1 favorite DJ and producer, 3LAU. This was during my sophomore year of college. I remember going to the concert in Tim’s car. And we were blasting songs from 3LAU. At that time, there were so many unreleased songs that I wished to hear at the concert. So, I played the a few of unreleased songs on the Aux cord. I got a hold of the unreleased songs from Soundcloud because of other people uploading them from the other 3LAU concerts that they went to. I also remember that this was during the time when passing the aux cord was a serious thing. Now, everyone just connects their phones to the car’s Bluetooth system to play their songs on Spotify. Oh yeah, this is the era where everyone is using Spotify as their main source of music. Back to the main story. When we got to the concert, it was really early. So not a whole lot of people were there. There were food concession stands, but we all ate before we came. The opening DJ’s were alright. We danced and jumped casually. But right before 3LAU came on stage, I took my phone out to record the concert. I’m laughing at myself for being THAT GUY that everyone keeps rolling their eyes at. I was so into 3LAU. I wanted to be able to have a way to relive the concert after it was finished. So, I ended up recording a majority of the 2 hr long concert. Everyone rolls their eyes at you if you record the whole thing because they just want everyone to be in the moment and have a good time. Plus, phone cameras can sometimes block their view of the stage, depending on how and what angle the person is holding it. Anyways, since the concert was called Foam Wonderland, there were people on stage towards the sides on the left and right to shoot out foam from the foam canons towards the crowd. I was all covered in bubbles and foam multiple times because I was standing in the middle section of the concert grounds.  After a while, I began to feel cold and shook my body like crazy. At raves, it’s really crowded, like shoulder to shoulder crowded. So, in order to stay with your friends and not get lost, it’s typical to see friends holding each other’s hands and “train chaining” through the crowd to get to different places. Well, I remember seeing a my friend Kathy’s shirt which was a UTA FSA shirt. I was like “Hey they’re from UTA!” Kathy was “train chaining” along with Emily and some other friends. That’s when I first met them. And then, I saw my other friend Dianne, who was completely mentally out of it. I think she was drunk. For the ending song, 3LAU played his cool remix of The Chainsmoker's song "Don't Let Me Down". And as he was playing the song, fireworks were booming up in the sky all around. I thew my hands up and swayed to the slow, but punchy drum song. It was a really vibey feeling and cool scenery at the same time. After the concert, I was walking towards the exit with Tim and his friend. But then, I found yet another friend, Angelina and chatted with her for a little bit. We laughed at how stupid and fun we acted during the concert. Then we took a picture together.
