history of RAVES!
Frankie Bones introduced raves (in the underground party sense) to the east coast by throwing a series of big underground partys. they were known as the Storm Raves. many promotors give mr.bones credit as the founding father of raves in america. It was at one of these Storm Raves that mr. bones gave a very important speech after one of his very powerful sets. he explained what the scene was about and why he had brought it to NY: peace, love, unity, and respect. when he finished everybody in the ware house waved their hands in the air in complete unity. for many it was the most beautiful speech anyone has ever heard.
The meaning of PLUR
Peace:
the calmness you find with those around you, and also inside of yourself. it's tough, we often have to work at it but when you're at peace with others, with ourselves and with our planet only good can come of it.
Love:
the caring you feel for friends, for strangers, for those in need and also for caring you show for yourself. it's symbiotic, it's about sharing whatever energy you put into something will be returned to you!
Unity:
this means we all share alot of common things, regardless of our age, gender, race, orientation, whatevah! we are all human beings, we all need other people, & we're all in this for the happiness experienced being around others. though we may have differences, we all arise from the same source.
Respect:
this may mean respect for others, their ideas, their music, & their lives. it's also respect for one's self: one's body and the needs that it has. educating yourself on the substances you ingest shows love and respect for your body; passing on the knowledge to others shows respect and love for your fellow person.
and we like to add and extra R to the End of PLUR
Responsibility:
Know your limits and be responsible. Not only with yourself but with everyone around you. If you see some on in truble, help them out. Thats what raving is all about...............
