our road trip to renton washington

A few of my friends and I decided to get out of Portland for a night and do something fun and random. There happened to be an rave that night in Renton, Washington. It sounded interesting and funny, a good chance to check in on the new generation of ravers.
We should have know what we were in for since the party was called “Slave to the Rave” and held in a skate park located deep in a suburb of Seattle.
The music was extremely hard, hard house to jump step, DJ’s with costumes and hundreds of kids under sixteen. We met some nice people, a lot of scary people and went to an extremely sketchy after party in Tacoma.
Along the way we handed out a lot of stickers, saw way too many fourteen year olds covered in candy and glow sticks and remembered everything wonderful and terrible about the suburban rave scene.
Here are the pictures.
