You could always rent out a dozen midgets or so, and keep them in a cage
behind the dj. During the peak hour you could set them free to go ballistic.
If you could rent out Mishu the world's smallest man, you could put him
on a turntable to spin around and around in front of the dj..(He only
weighs 16 pounds)
What about renting the world's fattest man, and then dressing him up like
Jabba the Hut.
I also thought it would be cool to have an mc on helium.
and so on........
I also like raves that had an out of control freak show like atmosphere..
some highlights of raves I have been to:
dj's on hydrolic scaffolds going up and down in the air
S and M cage acts
a guy dangling from a rope 40 feet above the whole rave
a guy up in the rafters above the rave
nude dancers in dayglo body paint
maze to get in the rave, then a slide into the entrance.....
Some lame ideas that have gone on at raves:
"DJ Unknown" the masked dj who reveals his identity at the end of his
set... ( I was expecting King Kong Bundy or Macho Man, this is not the WWF)
Free Breakfast- Nice Idea, but I now I am not in the mood for Bacon and
Eggs after a hard night of raving.
