My friend reached out too, and he's started organizing bigger and bigger forest raves. Once the pandemic is over he wants to bring me on as head of security, since concert security has been my job. I'd be able to pick my own team and everything; been thinking about how much consciousness could be built in an environment where the mood is fluid and electric, most people are on psychadellics, and the entire security crew is friendly communists.
Honestly as leftists we should be going after the small/medium festival crowd way more. The vast majority of these people are comrades, even if they don't know it.
That sounds really neat! How do you get involved with stuff like that? I was really peripherally involved with underground punk stuff in college but I haven't found an in since then. I'm not on social media and I tend to only make fairly normal friends via meet-cutes.
I kind of lucked into both circles through high school friends, but it seems like the best way to get tapped into the local fests otherwise is through small artists and DJs on social media (usually instagram) whose work has shroomy vibes. This next part no longer applies to those of us in the Plague Zone, but local art shows, especially ones with augmented reality stuff, are also generally full of chill people. You could also six-degrees it, and figure out which of your normal friend's friends have friends, etc.
