Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test 12/29/2001

I love looking through rave archives, I mean, you can see the now rare flyers being passed out and in abundance and ravers with such awesome style. But this rave was more as it was really interesting to read about, as they based the rave on a book! The Electric Kool-Aid Test by Tom Wolfe recounts his time with Ken Kesey and the early LSD tests from the government.

Just wow, looking through these raves is so ---. Yes, that's the word for it, I mean 26C gated half a shopping center for this event, had a Pikachu bounce house, and it took place at a Bowling Alley / Arcade. Modern day is like Rave N Busters or or Bounce Factory in LA. Sadly been to neither, but an event like this would be awesome, especially with a group of ravers like this!

I have gotten my hands on 5/7 of the pictured Ravers Digest; however, there's more out there... I'm searching for the rest! Ravers Digest served as a time capsule of the early rave movement, coming out in 2001 in SoCal. It captured the feelings and memories of these early ravers by printing them! Not only were rave stories and memories preserved, but the feelings can be felt through these pages! This is why I create not to be the most famous, not to be the most wealthy, but to preserve the moment zines like this have inspired me so much in the creation of Groove Generation, and to know that now our memories and our moments are preserved on paper and maybe 20 years from now someone picks up my zine and feels the same way I feel holding these. Thank you, Ravers Digest.
