I dunno, man. I will hang around listening to music not even REMOTELY to my usual tastes as long as I get to stare into bright colorful lights.

…and don’t even get me STARTED on the number of December nights I’ve spent wandering around looking for Christmas lights.

(Historical Notes: Oh yeah, I almost forgot that this was the first convention where I descended one ring further into Social Media Hell and started posting on tumblr as well.  Also, Past Me is once again leaving out just how sparsely attended these wannabe raves were.  I mean, there was NOBODY sticking around for this stuff.  One of the DJs who set up outside had this, like, party posse with branded t-shirts and everything, and they were all just sitting around because there was barely anybody else even listening, let alone dancing.  I have absolutely zero empathy for any human being who actually enjoys EDM, but this nearly made ME feel bad.)
