He definetely wore that costume Friday night.  As for the whistle blowers, there were none, but plenty of glow sticks.  I'll talk to the lady about Baltimore.  Hopefully, she doesnt have to start Thanksgiving dinner that night.

i'm assuming youre kidding,  the parties were called "Whistle" (and then whistle 2, whistle 3 etc)  people werent blowing whistles.
 
   i'm guessing you never actually went to a "rave".

actually, i wasn't kidding.  back in the day they had "whistle raves" where everyone was encouraged to bring a whistle.  preferred musical genre was happy hardcore.  never went to one but heard the stories... ugh.  glad to hear the philly "whistle" parties weren't of this genre.
 
 i've been to a few straight-up raves in my early partying days (96-97) in the toronto area, but transitioned over to psytrance soon after.  i went to WEMF'98 and spent the entire weekend in the psytrance tent, don't think i spent more than 15 minutes at any other stage/tent.  i'll spare this board the etymological debate on the differences between "raves" and "psytrance parties", to the casual observer i suspect they're the same anyways (biggest difference being the smell    ).

i think those whistle raves you heard of were either really sparsely attended or somewhat of a one time thing cause i never heard of one happening and i used to trapse from Toronto to Miami , but it DOES sound annoying.
 
   i wont get into discussing raves/psytrance either cause yeah, most ppl would be bored...but this IS the rabbit in the moon thread.
 
   can i just say that between 1993 and 2000 when i was going to parties/raves/clubs every weekend, there was MAYBE 5% of the people who wore fuzzy clothes and had pacifiers and maybe 10% used glowsticks.  those numbers dropped in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Chicago  but doubled in New York, North Carolina, Detroit and Florida.

threadjack!
 
 so what are the chances i asked you for a light at industry?  for its first two years, i was part of the furniture there...  funny, i was wearing my industry "shut-down party" t-shirt at my send-off party the other weekend (white rabbit & cribs soiree).

i used to go to a lot of freebase parties in New Orleans, before Disco Donnie got shut down.  the average "raver" there tended to wear regular clothes.  Maybe 20 percent were of the Candy Raver variety.

you were partying in T.O. in the second half of the ninties and never heard of industry nightclub?  it was on king west, past bathurst.  for a while it was "the" nightclub as far as clubbing and house music went.  flew in national and international DJs every saturday.  for me (and many others), it was my personal studio 54 - fabulous people, rampant hedonism, great music, weekly meet-ups with friends... it was the right place at the right time.  they did a reunion party in 2003 which was fun.
