My con-raves experiences

OTAKON 2009 - SATURDAY NIGHT

Everyone knows this story - those who don't, on with it. Bertina and Oniel didn't want to go to the rave on saturday night so me and David went. Mind you, I know that it's a rave so of course stuff are going to happen. To start, a group of people were dancing behind me and a guy bumped me from behind, then a really big black guy bumped me in the shoulder, I bumped into a guy's really sweaty arm, and someone stepped on my toe. I turned around to see two chicks looking at me. I didn't know whether they were eying me and David or just staring me at me trying not to laugh at my terrible, unenthusiastic dancing. I looked between them and a guy had the same expression as they did. Finally, there was a couple making out with each other and moving around the place grinding on each other. They moved around aimlessly and almost bumped into me. I moved out the way and they crash into David, and they started to grind on him without even knowing. He felt violated that night.

KATSUCON 2010 - FRIDAY NIGHT

Brittany, Jordan, Stephanie, Christiana and Kate were really tired so they didn't want to go to the rave, and entering an elevator I met Glenden that Brittany and the others met. Because of their exhaustion, they kicked us out of their room and I tagged along with Glen, meeting DJ ASU, Se7en, the vocalist of The Villains 21, and Min, who told me to be myself at the rave. At the rave was this big circle where people were dancing in and I was nervous to jump in. Suddenly I felt Glen grabbed the back of my shirt and shoved me in. The circle got bigger and I started breakdancing. I only did helicopters and six-steps and some people cheered. That until a kid shows me up. Before that, there was a light-skinned guy in a fishnet shirt who kept dancing in the circle. I don't know his name so I'm just gonna call him Fishnet. Next this was this big, light-skinned guy in a white t-shirt dancing and I don't know his name either so let's just with T-Shirt.

I once again end up in the circle and ended up dancing against T-Shirt, who gave me a nod and a look that remind me of Otakon's incident. It wasn't really a battle, though. I just jumped into the circle on my own. Later on, two girls jumped in and started popping their butts and a few more start coming in. Fishnet comes in and does the same thing. Too well, to be exact since he did it a lot faster than they did. A while later, I see a really short guy grinding up on T-Shirt. T-Shirt was the same guy I danced/battled against. A while later, a guy gets on all fours in another circle and Fishnet gets behind him. A guy with spiky, black hair gets in front of the guy who's on the ground and he and Fishnet start thrusting forward as if they're...you get the idea.

KATSUCON 2010 - SATURDAY NIGHT

I tagged along with Glenden again and his friend Kristina after Brittany and the others were at the masquerade. I came across Christiana again who wanted to get some food and head back to the hotel. Roaming around in the game room, I call Glen to meet up with him and Kris on the 12th floor. Not to waste time I'm racing up the stairs and searching for an elevator. Hopping into an elevator with a dozen other people, I hit the 12th floor and they're already sitting outside of the elevator. A while later we met Dylan, one of the security guards at Katsucon.

We missed the dance-off while waiting at Elevation Burger because our food took too long. Upon heading to the convention, we had to wait in line for the rave, and met Cornelia and Matt. Hitting the rave, everything was the usual from friday night. Except that everything was more pumped. Glen danced his krumping-hardstyle-raving and somehow got me and Kris to dance in the circle. As Kris did her ballet-styled raving, I did my horrible robotic-tutting-popping raving. The three of us took turns freeze-tag raving in the circle and before I knew it, the rave ended. At 5 AM in the morning. We planned to crash in the atrium but we couldn't, so we ended up crashing in the hallway by the window on the 12th floor. It was a hectic night, and it wasn't fun waking up to the scenery outside the window.

That next morning we all parted ways and went home, but we're all probably gonna meet at Otakon.
This weekend was epic.
