A Survival Guide To The Brooklyn Rave Scene

5. The keys to a great rave experience - Bring a small bag. Be sure you can carry it over your shoulder and only bring the essentials. Theft is very high at these places so don't screw yourself over by leaving your big bag around. - Be aware of your surroundings. Stay away from anyone that's too drunk, creepy, or high. You don't want to get thrown up on or be put in a dangerous situation. I know it's hard, but don't do something stupid. - Hydrate. You're going to be sweating out all the toxins you're probably taking in, so make sure your bag fits a bottle of water. - Pee before you leave home. These places usually don't have bathrooms, and if they do, they're gross. There will usually be an outdoor area where you can go if you really have to. If that's the case, bring Charmin-to-go, you'll be glad you did. Whatever you do, do not pee on the street. You're going to get a ticket and if you're over 18, you'll be registered as a pedophile.
