Max and the Silent Rave
So, did anyone hear about the silent rave craze? They just had one in Union Square, NYC a few weeks back. Max attended a silent rave a few weeks ago too. The video is below.
Just in case you are unfamiliar with this past-time, a silent rave is where a group of people gather to dance using their iPods, MP3 players and other portable music players. They play music through their headphones/earphones...to be clear, the single user can hear the music through their earphones, no one else. The result is a large gathering of people dancing to music only they can hear. So, in this large gathering you will view folks dancing to a variety of beats...and to the passerby, the group is dancing in silence and most definitely NOT in unison! Quite interesting people watching to be sure.
To get back to Max, he went to an Earth Day event that his cousin Ursula invited him to attend. I made up the silent rave part of the event Max attended. What really happened is Mark took video of him using his blackberry and the silly thing broke on him so you can't hear the audio. The video below is of him dancing silently...but he didn't attend a silent rave. It was an outdoor concert...just a broken phone with poor video quality and no sound. It is very funny, check it out below!
