I tend to agree with this guy, tread very carefully, we want to inform NOT proslitize. Ravers will get turned off real quick if you come on as something they MUST do. Offer information, answer questions and most of all be considerate of the fact that many people DONT know about the net or e-mail and that there may be some initial distrust from young ravers who don't know who you are because of your age, (and older guy wantin me to type some stuff into a computer? Humf, smells like DEA to me!) So go easy on folks at these things. You might want to find someone who is heavy into the Scene to go with you the first couple of times, to smooth the acceptance factor. Currently I'm way to busy with other aspects of the Scene to do this, you might want to contact some people on: sfraves@soda.berkeley.edu who regularly deploy VRAVE (an IRC like program for the international rave community) at raves in the Bay Area. To subscribe send a message to sfraves-request@soda.berkeley.edu, I've cross posted some of your mail so they are well aware of what you want to do. sfraves has been around for about a year, they are an integral and trusted part of the House Family, you might want to co-ordinate with them before you start a major campaign. I know they are working on getting the average raver signed onto e-mail. Hope this helps. ----- Begin Included Message -----
