Love this article. I came up in the scene in the late 90's and early 2000's in a glowsticking crew called Vegas Style in the ILR "I Love Raving" days. We would attend all of the Insomniac parties (Nocturnal, EDC, Together As One, Monster Massive) as well as local parties thrown by Awol religiously to trance dance & glowstick/glowstring. Being one of the originators of glowstringing & meeting other freehanders like Yosho and others from ILR in LA & other events in Socal it was a very deep experience that has shaped my love for this whole culture. I went to prison for about 9 years and then returned to Vegas my home where my home away from home (EDC) is now held. Im 32 now & my love for it has been reawakened by my 22 year old gf's passion for it nowadays attending all of the Dreamstate events. Like fine wine my love for the whole culture has only gotten better with age.

Thank you for this article & the trip down memory lane.

With Peace, Love, Unity & Respect,
