what's your pre-rave getting ready ritual with your crew?

[u/Old-Diamond-5828]

my group has this whole thing where we all get ready at one apartment, someone's making kandi, someone's stressing over their fit, and there's always one specific playlist that gets us hyped before we even leave. honestly the getting ready part is half the fun for me. what does your rave fam do before you head out?

My wife and I give our senior cat his insulin, then take a quick 3-4 hour power nap sleep while Bob Ross plays. Wake up and pregame with our Ensure shakes. Being old is super fun.

This is wholesome, i hope I rave till im this old and have my spouse rocking it with me the whole way

Oh thanks! Ditching the booze helps, we take snacks now instead. Gotta take care of yourself :)

Yay for disco naps! I have been known to take naps AT raves. Gotta be up for sunrise set!

Pop a couple Aleve before you leave and pound a pint of water as well. These are my peeps.

Yes to naproxen sodium! lasts longer than ibuprofen. It got me thru a fractured tibia last February.

I usually solo travel 3-4 hours listening to songs nothing like what I am going to hear - usually chill songs. It’s almost always right after work, so I am conserving my energy to rage.

I take a nap and wonder how I'm going to stay awake long enough to make it to the headliner.

[u/anteatersaredope → u/youseenofilter]

I'm not telling you to take drugs but most people do it by taking drugs.

[u/youseenofilter → u/anteatersaredope]

You underestimate my ability to nap while on drugs

Being from Berlin, where parties go for several days, I simply don’t go out at night anymore. I get up in the morning, have some bubbly and go to the club around midday. I might then stay another night, but I never go out at night.

[u/WFH12 → u/revelling_]

I would love that. There's actually a club doing something similar in Brussels starting tonight and running through Sunday night. I definitely would have gone during the day today if it was connected to last night, but I'm not up for partying during the day on a Sunday.. need that for recovery.

[u/Miliaa]

We text about how much we hate packing while struggling to pack, go over essentials, share any extra relevant info regarding the fest that may have just come in… I stress out for hours and hours as I pack, which is my Achilles heel. Don’t sleep. The actual magic begins once my plane lands.

Roll doobs consume tootski and forget something

The fact that I understand this is hilarious

Caffeine and vitamins.
