in case you missed it
philtronic put up this gallery and had these words
'"there's a silent rave in union square tonight. it starts at 6:15" my friend said. "what's a silent rave?" i asked. skeptical about having a good time dancing to my personal cd player (yea, that's right, cd player) with a bunch of people who i didn't know and who weren't even listening to the same thing i was, but thinking the event would make for some decent pictures, i went. i was right (well, at least i think i was right) about the latter, but i was wrong about the former. it was fun. really, really, fun. once your headphones were on, everyone might as well have been listening to the same thing you were. the different music had the same effect: loads and loads of positive energy. people laughing and dancing with strangers in public. to courious onlookers, (and there were quite a few of them) it might have seemed as if these kids were celebrating some pagan ritual worshipping the glowstick laden pineapple which was frequently hoisted above the crowd and greeted by shouts of appreciation. ...when, of course, it wasn't too busy leading conga lines or owning others at limbo. what was the deal with that fucking fruit? perhaps it's better left unquestioned. regardless of the reason, the bottom line is, it made a lot of people smile. and after all, isn't that what's important?'
