A brief word on raving

I could say a lot about raving in Japan, about how it’s still pure, how it still nurtures a lot of the innocence that built the PLUR movement over fifteen years ago. But I have a fever of 102 right now and I’m buried in my own work for society so I can’t go into details. Instead, I’ll let a picture say it better than I could ever describe. This is Yoyogi Park, my liberal, open air backyard, where nearly every Sunday there is a free party set up by someone who just loves spinning and seeing people having a good time.

Young and old, affluent and impoverished, peace, love, unity, and respect are for everyone.

    Yeah, he shows up dancing at actually a good number of the parties in Yoyogi Park. He’s got to be one of the nicest people in the world, he’s always smiling like that, but so shy usually if you come up to him. I gave him some of my wine a couple weeks ago. ^^;;

    He’s not the only guy though. Some of the homeless people that live around the park come too. Last weekend I was dancing next to a scruffy old oyaji, he was having a great time.
