a year or two ago, i asked myself how i would explain to my kids what being at a rave was like. what the people were like, and what they felt. how could i explain the eye candy, and even harder, how could i explain "a vibe"? is there something written, something visual, that could explain it? i have searched, and found such a book. it is Portrait of a Generation : The Love Parade Family Book. a snapshot, with timestamp, and a short quote giving a peek into what that person was feeling at that moment, at the greatest outdoor event in Germany! i really enjoyed this book. while this book is mostly of europeans, the style and comments of these Love Paraders feel familiar. this is definately a portrait of a segment of our generation that might have otherwise been forgotten. rave on.
