Raver Tip


Okay, it's Memorial day, so pretty much every store has american flags for sale. And that's your raver tip. At outdoor venues, officials ease up on you quite a bit when you're under Old Glory. Not sure why, but it you've ever left a busted rave and gone by off-roaders to get home, that's part of the reason. Something about a flag-waving, gun-toting freak that makes cops and BLM run like scared children. This was the biggest tip we got when throwing Burning Woman (an event still held up by the BLM as a perfectly run event). Granted, the potties and medical tent helped a bit, but copious and obvious placement of flags started their visit out on the right track.

SO.... try getting one of those flags you slip over your antenna. If you can't get that one, get one you roll up in a window. Either way, toss it into the back window ledge and forget about it until you hit that first turn-off for the next party. Then, pull it out and 'proudly' display it. Frequently, flagged cars are waved right through drunk tests, and right by the drug sniffing dogs.

It probably wouldn't hurt to have a little copy of the constitution on the dash either... :)
