Escape from Wonderland: Psycho Circus was my first ever Halloween rave. Me and my #BigLittleBrother Alex love halloween and began planning our outfits and costumes the month before. We slowly pieced together everything up until the last minute. I personally LOVE Halloween. It is my favorite Holiday. I widely use social media (Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat) to keep in touch with all my raver friends and make new ones. I get the opportunity to meet new people and connect with them through our common interest in raving. One person who I really wanted to meet after talking on Instagram for about a week before the venue was Chris (riding on my shoulders in the pic below). He had attended other events I went to and I had come across his IG. So I initiated the conversation and said basically ill trade you Kandi. Little did I know the dialogue would continue further. I talked to Chris the remainder of the week leading up to Escape. As Halloween was getting closer and closer Alex and I made our plans with our newest friend who we call the baby, Jayden (teen wolf looking werewolf). We had happened to all like the idea of being Werewolves for the first day of the rave. So we did and me and Alex matched while Jayden took more of the Teen Wolf look. Well he was younger of course. Day one was a blast. I got to meet up again with Adam and Cael for a minute and rage together with them, as well as give them the Kandi Cuffs I made for them. I got to enjoy Dash Berlin, Benny Benassi, and Flux Pavilion (to end the night). I got to enjoy it all. Meet new friends and trade a bunch of Kandi with people. Some of those new friends included Dree (top right picture), Charli, Ryan, and Vic. Raver friends of Jayden that he introduced to Alex and I. We all just got along really well from the start and just raged the night away together. I even showed them my bag of tricks. The vibes they gave off all were positive. I could tell right away they were genuine people. That just goes to show the type of person Jayden is, a person that surrounds himself with great hearted people. So we ended our night said our goodbyes and traded information so we could hangout again.
Day two comes around and it was unfortunate that Ryan and vic were not able to come and only Charli and Dree were able to come rage again. But they all stopped by the hotel before the event. During the day since I was unable to find my San Diego Boys and LA Boys i texted the two of them and decided to go to lunch with them to give them their Kandi. Missed those guys Jesse (pictured below the werewolf and native american woman) and Justin. I go back after Lunch and start to get ready for the next days Festivities. I was a Dark Angel for the most part. Everyone was getting all ready to rage and in costume since after all it was HALLOWEEN. As it gets closer to the time we leave we get more and more excited and just can't wait to rage. Jayden, Charli, Alex, and I leave for Escape around 5:30pm to arrive by 6:30. Just in time to meet up with some people to receive Kandi and trade it too. I found most of the people I wanted to meet up with, especially Chris who I got to spend most of the night with. I met up with Chris and gave him the 3D cuff I had made for him. It was different when we met. I was nervous and shy, something that normally doesn't happen often. I met up with him early on and got a text from Alex saying to come find him. So I left Chris for the moment and gave Alex his stuff I was carrying. After that I had to go run off and find Jesse and Justin so they could give me the Kandi they made me. I loved both pieces and it made me super happy. Missed those guys. But yet again I was on the move and headed to go find Chris because I had this urge to go and rage with him. I was with him most of this night. For some reason I just didn't want to leave. But I had to get him to myself so we could just rage on without having to worry about other people. We got a second free and ran into my group of friends. It was perfect timing. We met up with them for 10 minutes before Markus Schulz set came on and I had to go. I told Alex I have to see Markus Schulz so I ran off with Chris and enjoyed that whole set while he went to Laid-back Luke. I had a blast. Markus Schulz is a trance DJ that I had missed a Beyond Wonderland-Bay Area. So we split up again. Until EPHWURD came on and I left Chris for a minute to go and grab Alex and the group and bring them toward Chris in the middle of the crowd up until the point Martin Garrix closed out the night. As it continued on and Martin Garrix's set came on I happened to Glimpse Jesse and Justin in the corner of my eye and ran over to them without thinking. Said hello and then got fixated on dancing to the music. I realized Chris wasn't next to me so I went to go get him and introduce him to Jesse and his #bae (Jorge). I gave Jorge my first epic cuff I ever made. It was a sentimental moment because Jesse is a really good friend although he lives far away. The same with Justin. I live for moments like those. Being around good vibes and good people. Closed the night out at Martin Garrix dancing and having a blast. Great way to spend my Halloween weekend.
