- This was a tough one to film. I like to keep my channel a really positive space, but I did want to share one bad experience I had while raving because not every show is going to be a good one. I hope that you guys are careful out there!

Rave crew rule number 1 never leave each other . Glad she was okay though
Thank you for sharing this story, its important. I love the PLUR vibes of the edm scene but there are predators always out there who exploit these good vibes. Cant put your guard down even when we all are having the time of our lives.
if i seen someone at a rave drugging someone without their consent the person who does that would absolutely lose a kneecap at a minimum and be dragged by thier nutsack to the closest police officer and turned in...i have 0 patience for that behavior..i lost someone to the mixture of ghb and liquor because they didnt know the drink was spiked. the pain from that loss is what sticks in memory way more than the happiness of the festival.
So horrible sending prayers 🙏🏽💗💗
The pickpocket community makes it bad too. When I got my phone stolen out of my pocket I didnt even wanna rave anymore but it jus made me more 10x more secure with my stuff.
I'm glad you guys got home safely! My bf went to a rave a couple years ago and shared a drink with a (female) friend but ended up drinking pretty much all of it coz she didn't like it. Cut to - he wakes up in our driveway. Someone tried to roofie our female friend! Luckily my bf went there with a different friend who drove him home n layed him in our car (I lock the door at night and our friend couldn't find his house key) In a way he could of saved our lady friend from something horrible!
Katie Smith wow that’s insane!! You never know when it could happen
Yeah, I'm so grateful for the people and friends we trust. And it just makes me want to spread plur and good vibes even more ✌💖👪✊
Wow
Always trust your gut! You're such a good friend I appreciate women like you!! We need that in this scene because things can go really wrong really fast.
No makeup? You look like you’re wearing makeup. You’re so beautiful with and without it! ♥️
i'm pretty sure she's wearing makeup just not face makeup in terms of foundation and concealer stuff lol
Thank you!! 🤗
bethany lin exactly haha
Lol she’s deff wearing makeup
Although your channel aims to be positive and informative about the EDM/rave community, I think it is a good story to share even though it was a scary situation. Positing about show/event/rave safety is a topic that would make a great addition to your channel and something you can cover well! What I took away from this story is to stick together, be mindful of surroundings and the people you meet. I agree, going to shows and events brings out good people and positive vibes, but safety is most important. I have been to events and seen people, even myself and friends in my own crew, who clearly over did it. Also, read articles later about the show on how many people were sick, arrested or unfortunately, died. We are constantly reminded by the event organizers to look out for each other at all times and get help for anyone who looks like they need it. Have fun, be positive, responsible, and SAFE! 🙂
That's really sad. Good lesson from the story- always have your drink on you and never accept drinks from strangers.
You’re 27?? I thought you were like 22. I’m 27 as well.
Cool?
I’m so glad she’s ok!
Man that sucks. Always gotta be careful. There was this dude at Illenium last week that was being SUPER sus and me and my buddy were Sitting there watching him talk to all these girls and we're just like "this guy is killin our vibes". We literally just kept an eye on the dude the whole night. Just saying even if its a random stranger you dont know, be on the lookout for people who might need help.
Adam Suvalskas seriously thank you for doing that, we all need to look out for each other 👏🏼💕
Thanks for sharing this story! I’m going to EDC this year with out my group of girl friends, and we obviously watch out for each other. I’ll be with my closest guy friends but guys don’t watch out for you like I know the girls would. Now I need to remember to be on my toes.
That is kinda sad, you must have known alot of shitty dudes in your life. This was an old ass comment, hope you've found men that actually watch out for the ladies in their lives.
This is very helpful. I read vibes as well. I make it a big deal to always be together. I know you try to be positive but this is very important.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Don't ever worry about having to be positive 100% of the time, that's part of life :)
That's so scary! So glad nothing worse happened!
Thank you, Emma for sharing this! You cover such important talks in the rave community and I appreciate it
Thank you for creating a safer community🤙👽. People need to hear the shady stuff that goes on at raves! Raves should be enjoyed by all, with no fear! #hippiesquad #ifykyk
I'm really happy you told people about this because concerts and festivals are the best experiences in the entire world but you always have to make sure your on guard and coherent enough to take care of yourself and your friends/fam. Thank you for this!!
It would have been lovely to have information like this back in '97- when I started.
Coooliooo channel sistah!
That's so scary glad you were able to be there for your friend. It's so true that this could happen to anyone anywhere. My co worker was at Fridays having some food and drinks before going to a haunted house and she was roofied. She was with her boyfriend and some friends. Such a messed up place out there
Okay just a little bit of info... might be applicable, might be useful, although the whole thing about being careful as possible is absolutely vital. Unfortunately, people never tell anyone this, but PARTICULARLY with women because of how the brain and senses are wired, drinking any kinds of alcoholic FIZZY drinks THROUGH STRAWS or a straw, can end up having the exact same effect because the alcohol is concentrated in gas bubbles and enters the stomach wall really quickly and easily and hits the muscle/nerve control centers really hard then. You may not have been slipped anything and yet the effect 'can' be somewhat similar.
Why haven’t you talked about rolling? Your channel is based towards new ravers some of theses people don’t know what they are taking when I first rolled I didn’t know about tests, I’m not sure if you can/want to talk about that but just a suggestion. Love your vids going to edc for my first time I went to escape last year then hard summer then escape again this year ❤️
Nick Rios thanks for your suggestion! Will definitely see if I can turn this into a safety video
Omg I'm glad I wasn't the only person paranoid and covering my drink..
i shared water with some girl at edc day 2 and the first thing she asked was “ there’s nothing in this right ? bc yesterday a guy gave me water and it had me tripping” i really just can’t believe ppl
Sorangeliz Reyes oh wowwww
This happened to me to. I broke my leg and don’t remember anything that happened that night. I don’t think I’ll ever drink again at a rave because of this. It sucks.
very scary 😯and glad she's ok❤ #P.L.U.R
That sux, that was around the time there was a sort of rash of that happening. Like 2017-18 I think it was it was a problem, from my undrestanding it has gotten better, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. That is terrifying. It is nuts too cuz the majority of people are good, but the few here and there have to ruin things. I had an ex that was a photographer and worked at events around that time and they were being warned it was an issue :/ Thanks for sharing, PLUR.
I guess I'm a dad lol I can't have a good time unless I know everyone is safe. I am glad your friend is safe. And things weren't worst thanks for sharing. Ps. No make up required. Beautiful soul works
Keep rolling crazy rave generation
I’m a rave mom type as well haha
Thank god all ended ok, so scary. Keep safe girls, watch out for each other xx
Youre a really good friend I can see the emotion aww
Dunno if you’re trying to blame that dude that was trying to hookup with her earlier then called you on the phone, but I’ve been out and came across girls that we’re GONE, like wasted, went up to her and asked, who are you here with? What’s you’re friends’ name? What is she wearing?
She told me a name and dress colour and style of her friend ( it was a gay/drag Halloween night, we know and we remember these things lol, also her friend was hot af) and I ran inside and found her friends, told them she needed their help and asked the security guy just inside the door to keep an eye on her for a sec.
They seemed annoyed but went out and met her and got in a cab together and took her home.
Pretty sure if that guy called you AFTER your friend was alone with him, had pure intentions and was looking out for your friend.
I go to a lot of events in my city and one thing that seems to be ramping up and getting reported on the fb pages more and more often are girls getting drugged. Often having never left their drink unattended so bartenders are doing this shit too.
If that guy had bad intentions you would t have heard from your friend until at least the next day.
She is a lucky girl. Be safe and look after each other. And not just your friends, look out for strangers too. Don’t let animals get away with this shit. See something say something. Imagine you see someone trying to take advantage of a vulnerable person you don’t know or care about. And then you let it slide and ignore it.
Well you need to ask yourself a question, how would you feel if it was your best friend or sister that war about to be drugged or taken advantage of. Because next time it might be. If we all put in a little effort to look after each other we will ALL be much better off. Don’t ignore people acting a fool. We need to put trash in the trash can. Then the rest of us can rest a little easier and not have to worry about this shit so much.
If you see and know about this stuff happening and you do and say nothing about it and let other people be victimized, you are just as shitty and guilty as the person commuting the act.
I tend to agree, it can be hard to tell for sure tho because people get so nuts, but I've helped a decent few people out over the years as well.
IDK whether to "like" this video or "dislike" it, so I'm just gonna say that I'm really sorry you guys had to go through that kind of bullshit!... That's one reason that I don't EVER go to ANY show in any kind of "fucked-up", "high", or drunk state, as some people do, because I like to stay fully aware of everything around me too, fully enjoy the music and artist or DJ playing, AND actually *remember* exactly how awesome the experience was!
I guess it's also a very good reason to always stay very positive and of a "high spirit" and vibe at ALL times, because for the most part, you tend to "attract" like minded and spirited people to you wherever you go, so always being of a "higher level spirit" and keeping a very uplifting and positive "aura" around you at all times, will help deter any more "negative" thinking people that may come around you so they usually tend to just turn around and "go the other way" sooner than later because they subconsciously can't feel the same good vibes as you do... Anyway, I'm getting a little bit too "philosophical" now, but maybe you understand what I mean here... Just always say your positive energy "protection mantrum" with help from the "highest possible source" (i.e. your "guardian angel(s)", etc.), to help keep you safe in any circumstance... That and always trusting your "gut instincts" about something will help you out forevermore throughout your life!
I have been to too many raves to even count over the decades that I've been going to them, and to date I can only remember TWO events where there was ANY kind of a problem, neither of which had anything to do with or affected me personally, so I guess I've been quite lucky!
One of the first few big events that I ever went to was where I actually saw a guy get SO fucked up and was overdosing on X, I suppose, that he was having a seisure and was foaming at the mouth, and as a result he had to go to the hospital in an ambulance! (That's why I've never been interested in trying ANY of the drugs that sometimes get passed around at raves!... Luckily that doesn't actually happen as much or as often as some people might think!... Actually I'm happy to notice a general trend now of more and more people just going to raves to simply have fun dancing, hanging out with their friends, and really enjoying the music and the positivity and love itself, which is really great, because I've always been a "clean raver" myself too!)
The only one other event that I remember or knew about anything bad happening was one also MANY years ago, prob. around 2005 or 2010 or so, where there was some gangster thug out in the *parking lot* , (not even inside the venue building itself), that was causing trouble because he was apparently drunk and was fighting with someone and the cops got called, and then of course the entire event got shut down right in the middle of an awesome DJ set inside the building!... A case where "one dumbass ruins it for everyone!"
That was around about the time when the local cops started looking for ANY reason to shut down an all night rave, so oh well... downhill from there I guess, into what the local NM "rave scene" is today... ALL entirely inside controlled venue very small clubs which close early every night. :/
Big words my man, I had never gone to a rave before my first one was E-zoo in NY and I can say that I had one of the best time of my life without using any kind of drugs.
When you’re sober you enjoy more the music and you’re also more aware of your surrounding. It’s sad to see all those people laying down on the floor without knowing where they are and what are they doing.
Never really thought of this happening, thanks for making me aware of it.
Thanks for sharing your story as rise up the awareness for girls.
Why tf did they let the guy go
Sounds like avant- Gardner or the mirage 🧐 glad everyone’s okay!!
jon hanlon it was actually neither of those!

This happened to me about 2 weeks ago at a bar in Huntington Beach CA. Scary scary scary
One time my friend had a seizure, i was with a hole lsd in my mind. it was the worst
I'm really sorry to hear that this happened and I'm glad you guys got to her. What a scum bag(s). So as a guy one of my worst fears/irritations is being labeled a possible creep or bad guy so I don't really socialize at public events.
It is something I keep in mind too, but I socialize still. I just be sure to be very aware of peoples vibes/body language ect and if I get the slightest hint that someone is getting a creep vibe I wish them well and be on my way. But I've also been raving for 20+ years, and I normally am not really trying to find a girl at a rave.
@@joshuagomez3600 I agree with most of everything you said. Seriously when I've gone solo I do try to stay to myself. In fact people have creeped me out. XD Both girls and guys. I learned just be happy and positive, don't go looking to assist others but if there's a need, ask to help, make sure they ain't being weird besides just being high.
The problem and good is everyone's on look out for bad people so you can't fully relax and hang out.
You're friend got spun. Damn, that is some really fucked up shit. How is she holding up? My heart goes out to your friend, nobody deserves to be treated that way and those guys are some vile, repugnant worms for what they did.
So incredibly scary!
i agree that can happen to any one anywhere
me and a group of friends went out to eat for my birthday
and two of my friends who only had 2 drinks and a shot were what we think was roofied
they were gone and they didn't have much to drink i felt so bad but im glad it was a group of us to watch over them and take them home
please guys be careful with your drinks
Look my best advice the min you get the drink handed by the bartender drink it right there don’t walk around with your drink chill out and finish your drink if someone is buying you a drink don’t let them touch the drink you grab your own drink .
Dj Deru true, just sucks that that’s the only option instead of being able to enjoy a drink slowly like everyone else 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly it’s sad ya know . Like to even have to worry about these things
Is your Chinese zodiac sign a rat? I feel energy left and right at festivals lol
I literally keep my bottles water in my knee high stripper socks while I headbang, nobody's gonna fuck w/my shit
What kind of job do you have?
this happen to me at the Electrkic Daisey Carinval and my anus was bleeding
If that’s one of the worst days n your life you ain’t seen NOTHING consider yourself EXTREMELY blessed that’s a regular Saturday in Berlin
No disrespect but I believe the guy have good intentions. I would ask who the person is with and contact that person group as well if I come across a person who is mess up. Maybe your friends was down to drink a lot with him at the bar while talking to him? who knows and maybe she got mess up so bad that he have to call you guys to make sure you girls know your friend is safe and where she is at? Like if I was to be mess up and couldn’t find my group after being parted for a couple minute, I would like someone to help me contact my group of friends as well. - I’m just saying- and speaking facts. I believe you worries to much that you over thinking it and make the situation where it’s doesn’t need to be at. It’s good to look out for one another, but don’t over think it and over do it where it can ruin the night. If you feel unsafe all the time, then stay home.
Odd flex but ok.
