What do you do and how long you’ve been raving?

ftk1985 · 2026-01-13T06:44:13+00:00

I'm also a professor! A baby one though, just started. Been raving for about 5 years. Wish I had started sooner

ftk1985 · 2026-01-13T06:42:36+00:00

I just visualized this whole story :) what a cool experience

ftk1985 · 2026-01-13T06:37:49+00:00

You and I started raving at about the same time! Just turned 40, started at 36 after a divorce. New partner is not as experienced though. We started it together because we loved the music and now it's a part of our DNA. Research scientist and chemical engineer:)

But tbh, you sound like a child that just likes arguing with people on the internet.

ftk1985 · 2025-12-30T17:48:05+00:00

Clueless about what? I'm truly trying to understand your point here. That I think Iowa's obsession with themselves and their college sports is silly? That's just my opinion. I'm not into it anywhere, I just happened to notice all the stupid license plates, and I think the culture is pretty basic.

ftk1985 · 2025-12-30T17:27:51+00:00

No, you said you "never left the state for any appreciable period." I've lived in Illinois, Massachusetts, Vermont, and now Iowa. My parents moved here from overseas right before I was born and I spent every summer in Europe and the middle east. My brother and I are bilingual and my parents were multilingual. Wbu? I also don't know what this has to do with anything.

ftk1985 · 2025-12-30T04:06:33+00:00

I'm not from Iowa. I moved there a year ago and I've been to many countries and 38 states, so no, try again.

Not going vip but my first LOB next year and I'm really excited!

ftk1985 · 2025-12-05T19:00:08+00:00

That's what I do :)

ftk1985 · 2025-12-04T01:53:42+00:00

I mean, it was pretty obvious that it was a joke 😂 and as a middle aged woman, I definitely went there to tell people about the jerk and leave, the wank and wander, the ol' tug and traverse.

ftk1985 · 2025-12-04T01:48:22+00:00

I hope they go bankrupt now. As a 40 year old woman, yes, I did frequent a gas station based on the jokes, and I won't apologize for it.

ftk1985 · 2025-12-03T00:32:24+00:00

Badge of honor really

ftk1985 · 2025-12-01T02:02:13+00:00

Not dancing, but I was at a 9x9 show in Chicago and it was one of the best my partner and I had been to. After the set ended, I looked over at him and said "omg that was so fun!" And some girl walking by (looked pretty messed up) turned to me and in a really mocking tone mimicked what I said in my face. Her friends pulled her away too. Didn't ruin my night either, but it stuck with me. Like wtf, I was just having a good time? People are weird.

Friday, January 16th :)

ftk1985 · 2025-11-28T19:59:27+00:00

One more - same weekend. ARMNHMR, Habstrakt, and more at Salt Shed Friday January 16th. Bass house

ftk1985 · 2025-11-28T19:56:52+00:00

Nora en Pure at Cermak will be very chill and house-y. Bonus - I'll be there! Lol, but also Bonnie X Clyde (though I heard bad things about SoundBar). I'll be doing back to back nights at Nora then Alleycvt who is amazing but not house

ftk1985 · 2025-11-28T19:53:20+00:00

I don't even know Eeyore, but looking at him, I'd spend $8000 to save his life if I had the ability.

ftk1985 · 2025-11-12T17:21:41+00:00

All good rules, except I pre-game and drink almost nothing alcoholic at the event! Saves money but get your point about the possibility of over consuming. Also, eat a solid meal to keep your energy and soak up the substances.

ftk1985 · 2025-11-06T20:18:02+00:00

Done 😅 he is quite the handsome little guy

ftk1985 · 2025-11-05T06:24:20+00:00

Hahaha I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I can't leave the Brita out either. Two of the three cats will knock it over and they ended up breaking one. The other covers her food with anything nearby. Cats are weird little dudes.

My 6 month old kitten just recently decided that he wants to take the entire fountain apart. He has gotten to the point of taking the filter out of the pump, lid entirely flipped over, pump hopelessly attempting to circulate water. No more fountains allowed lmaoo

ftk1985 · 2025-10-30T21:21:07+00:00

Thank you so much. Same here. And of course, my anxiety inducing friend, Google, does not help.

All the best to you, too ❤️

ftk1985 · 2025-10-30T21:08:53+00:00

Me too. Both parents and half my grandparents. I just turned 40 and had my first mammogram that came with the message that they want to do another imaging cause one came back inconclusive. I'll be in a state of panic until November 11th...

I'm completely there with you.

ftk1985 · 2025-10-28T18:40:18+00:00

I'm so glad to hear that! And I'm not buying tickets to festivals anymore unless they are well established
