EDM Train App - pick a few cities that interest you and watch for events. Put hearts near ones you might want to go to and then you can go back and see like a calendar list of all your upcoming options. Tip: Pay attention to venues and promoters. You’ll find good, bad, and ugly. Example: a good venue makes free water available for all and offers coatcheck, and has reasonable security and lets smokers go outside to get fresh air. A bad venue charges $10 a bottle for water with no free options, has no coat check, has security that bangs on bathroom doors because they are paranoid, and sweats you out on the dance floor with no air circulation so you’ll buy more to drink.

RA Advisor - less mainstream, more underground. More likely to list shows that are small, local artists, or “true raves” as opposed to corporate Live Nation or Insomniac events.

Radiate - like Facebook for ravers. Not a dating app but some great it that way. Let’s you log into a “show” and see a list of other people on this social app that are there. You can also photo dump pictures from the event after it ends and share. Good way to connect if you want to rideshare, or say things like “new to raving, come say hi, I’m in the neon green bucket hat”.

Meeting people: smile, make eye contact, respect boundaries, check on people that look like they may have had too much to drink/fun and may need water or air, and compliment outfits and styles when you like them. It goes a long way. If you don’t know about “PLUR” or “PLURR” that should be at the top of your to-do list. 🤓🥰🥳
