A-Kon 2009 Dallas Texas - Dance Rave Acon A-Con AKON 20

[Angel28Fierro]

wow this is the shittiest rave ive ever seen, bunch of retards, ill just stick to edc, best rave in the U.S. to bad its only once a year. fuckin worth it to wait.

[ThePhreakzKururu]

Whats the song playing? Great video, looks like a fun night =P

[Inubito]

Wow, who is that DJ. lol <3

[maxcool123456789]

now is the closest the to a real rave i seen so far......in dallas!

[tquinlan5]

Fags

[Kandikid00]

The one's who deal with A-KON said they don't host raves, and never will actually. Thhey say people just call it a rave because it has the vibe of one. So, this is not real rave. Just letting you know.

[SarahhhBearahh]

Watching those people try and dance is laughable. Js

[AdidaSdark]

I hate how anybody with a lap top and serato can show up and call themselves a fucking Dj. I understand that everything is going digital, and even touch screen.I would choose not to use any programs and jus go by ear, old school.

[lovedachargers]

WTF??? THiiS AiiNT NO RAVE. IVE SEEN WAYYYY BETTER RAVES THEN THiiS...

HAHA

[14EvilKilla]

what is this? summer camp? LOL

[iDanyXoxo]

@14EvilKilla lmfao!

[ultimatlykoolgirl]

For everyone who's saying who raves with the lights on, read the description. It was a sound check.

[n3dleNthr3d]

oh my frills! I recognize soo many people in this! XD

[LilVamp25]

@fatcat2021 Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'll be sure to take that to heart ^-^

[LilVamp25]

if I want to enjoy something, I'm really not into the idea of using drugs like ex to do it. But, I still want to have a good time and get a feel for what's it like, you know? ^_~

So, from the stand-point of somebody sober, what's it like?

[fatcat2021]

@LilVamp25 i feel ya bro! just jump in! i dont do drugs for alot of reasons but the music and dance is what gets me high. just dont hold back!!

[LilVamp25]

Oooh I can't wait to go this year!!! Haven't been able to go since A-Kon 13 and I was like 10 lol so I missed out on so much of the real convention! When and how does this all happen? I've never been to a rave before. My bro loves to rave and goes to Afterlife all the time and loves to spin poi but ive never talked about raving itself with him. I mean, I get the whole PLUR mindset and think it's pretty cool but (and I'm just speaking for myself, no judging) if I want to enjoy something, I'm rea

[n3dleNthr3d]

@LilVamp25 its just as cool to go sober as it is under the influence. you CAN say NO! XD

So long as your there to have fun, enjoy, and get close to possible new friends, your golden! don't be afraid to talk to people and learn some new dance moves! we all come from different walks of life and you'd be surprised what you learn from others. just have fun and keep with your comfort level. you'll be fine and someone tells you other wise...well, F* them, their not worth your time!

[LilVamp25]

@n3dleNthr3d LOL! I never planned on saying yes but I get what you're saying ^_^

That sounds great! I plan on taking the opportunity to meet all sorts of people anyway and I'm sure the rave is another place to do it. I always love talking to people and hearing about their different lives and, come on, who couldn't stand to learn some more dance moves?? And that last line is a motto to live by! Thanks for the reply!

[Mk200114]

Uh, this looks like prom more than a rave.

[troublesomedreams]

O.o

[smokengunz1]

so glad i didnt go to this

[swedenisthebest02]

u call this a rave? grow up. and turn off the lights.

[3lilcutties]

YAYYYYYAAYYY!!!! TURN OFFF THA LIGHTTT!!!! 1:03!!!! FUCK YAH THEIRS RAVE BITCHESSSS

[springbreak203]

Who raves with the lights on?

[ecboy4lif3]

sorry guys but this is no rave this is more like a school dance lol !!!

[RainbowzItUp]

I don't really like the raves at Akon and stuff. There's too many kids that don't know what they're doing. :/ It kind of annoys me.

[bigez954]

What is the name of the song?Nice rave

[saturnia85]

that looks so much fun

[deidra2115]

MY SCHOOL IS HAVING A RAVE THIS YEAR I HOPE IT IS GOOD IF ITS LAME IM LEAVING

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

[JamesB0nd124]

This is how fat bitches work out LMFAO! That was the only thing i hated about raves is that there were millions of fat chicks

[EffinLillie]

I was in the middle of it. And then this dude was like "Aint you a little to young to be raving?" I said "Aint you a little to old?"

[itgmaster098]

WHY IS THERE LIGHT !!!!!

[olide07]

Damnn the dances ive been to one but i mean the raves fuck yeah xD

[sparks1dallas]

@scottccc hell yeah edc is gonna be huge!!!!!! spread the word!!

[aloteck]

@sparks1dallas lol hell yea

[SailorBarsoom]

@scottccc

I couldn't go very often, but yeah, a few raves between A-KONs could be good for me.

[SailorBarsoom]

@scottccc

It's alright; sometimes I'm not the best at expressing myself and people get the wrong idea.

I'm from right here in the Dallas area. Instead of paying for a hotel room at A-KON, I come back home Friday night. Saturday night I just stay up and don't sleep.

That's how I discovered raving: I needed something to do for a couple of hours and discovered hey! this is a lot of fun!

[nintendork9876]

Imma go as a black Yugi and Tear this place apart

[LainyyMikkay]

kinda sounds like Pazo and Zany 99.9 lol

[SailorBarsoom]

@scottccc

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You've got me all wrong. I'm all for raving and raves and ravers. I may be new to it all, but I had a BLAST at last year's A-KON rave and I plan to have a BLAST this year. Everybody was so nice and you could FEEL the joy in the air.

PLUR is one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time. As far as E goes, I think it should be legalized.

I was only asking about "gravers."

[rohawkcc]

im excited, ill be going this year!!!

[zninja141]

im totally going to the rave this year and i am gonna WRECK THAT SHIT UP!!!...word

[JohnRater]

hahaha kicking people out for being under the influence at a fucking rave are you joking?

[1gwenfan]

No way! Theres also a rave there??!??!?!? OMG! HAVE to go this year!!!

[edwardluvr9]

im totally going to the rave this year

[ToxicXRaver]

this topped all the anime convetion raves!!! and their were more people raveing and daceing then running around acting retarded and makeing stupid ass dance circles...

[mariska214]

haha the transformation from light to ravers night

[herecomesjeffy]

Oh I remember this... I had to literally carry my friend back to the west end hotel because of that faggot who drugged the water.

[armor452]

That would be fun stoned

[Foxxy14]

Wow, that looks so fun! I wish I could've been there, though I was at A-kon last year and the year before. I was a sexxy Kyuubi lol! But luckily since I now have a license, I can stay for the freaking raves!!! YAY!!! Lol!

[RockJay2NayMe]

D TOWN!!!!!!

[AbstractComfortKX]

do people at anime convention raves only jump? just something i noticed.

[LatinaVixen91]

No there are mosh circles, grinding, shuffling, conga lines, break dancing areas for dance battles etc.

[HeartOfMedusa]

I cannot wait to go to Akon 21. I'm gonna go as Rikku from FFX2 and rave all weekend :)

[roguepenguin1994]

This was so great. I fucking LOVE living in dallas.

[WhatTheChip]

lol sad...i live in cali, one of the states that has a major stereotype that we party and have raves all the time, and closest thing to a rave i've been to is chuck e cheese for my 4 year old cuzzins birthday party..

[polarbearfromlife]

r u saying theres stereotypes in dallas or cali? i say theres stereotypes everywhere

[beark27]

this makes me sad.. nothing like a seattle warehouse party..

[TheRaveVirus]

cool im down for it come next year im planning to party all weekend long.........long leave Trance and keep the RAVE going poeplessssssss!!!!!!!

[SailorBarsoom]

P_eace

L_ove

U_nity

R_espect

Sort of the raver code of conduct. Not that different from the peace, love and understanding maxim of the hippies, nor is it that different from the teachings of Jesus and several other religious founders.

If you have peace, love, unity and respect, how can you wrong another?

[TheCherryAddict]

Omg this is awsummm~

I wish Anime Boston did shit like this. -_-

[four20gurlie]

where was this at? what venue??

[LatinaVixen91]

at A-KON in Dallas, at the Sheraton Hotel, Grand Hotel Ballroom

[TheRaveVirus]

shit damn miss thiis event

[LatinaVixen91]

It comes every year next one is on June 4-6 2010 $35 for adults, $15 for kids

[cupofmoo]

omg are candy kids and bright colors back instyle at party if so im so happy i hate gravers

[SailorBarsoom]

Gravers?

[cupofmoo]

ya like emo candy kids = gravers

[SailorBarsoom]

Are these the kids who dress all in black and never smile, just to make sure we all understand how terribly serious they are?

If so, then yeah, I'd rather see happy and bright myself.

[LillithBax]

I WAS THERE!

But I was in the back.

Lol.

[iheartneji13]

Gaaah... I didn't go to the rave -.-

It look fun though(:

[liisrandom]

[punkiegoth23]

I was in this!! I'm the one in the white corset the black skirt, long black socks and black and white Fedora! in the front stomping with the girl in the green. woot for youtubeness!

[Tevlek]

Yeah...I was one of the people who lost their friend and ended up standing there watching other people dance. xD It was fun though, the energy kept me upbeat and some people's moves were just amazing!

[HGASHDJHG]

when will they have another of these cause im from fort worth and i shuffle iand i have been looking every where for something like this

[ikijah]

dude this is akon. they have it once a year

[ForeverToNever]

Yeah, Like ikijah said.. This is A-kon.. It's an anime convention that happens in dallas every year... Totally badassery :D The next one is June 4-6, 2010 And if you buy your pass now its like 30 bucks I think. Oh man... Can't wait x.x

[cloudndh91]

i wish i could get the music. it was just too cool. i can not wait for next year. look for beatuljus thats going to be me

[Xundrin666]

that was a fun night. if anyone remembers a kid that had a akamaru (dog) backpack on and looked like a neon sign, that was me. i had about 100 glowsticks on me or more, and the looked like chains.

[cheezychimp]

Lol there were people havin sex in there way in the back where i had set my stuff down.

[xFilthInTheBeautyx]

Did you see the Johnny Depp cosplaying guy grinding on this other chick up at the front? They were basically dry humping like hardcore .__.

[cheezychimp]

No i can't say I did. I was in the back.

[cheezychimp]

If any1 saw the short kid with the horns who was popping and waving then that was me.

[xFilthInTheBeautyx]

MyAcidPinkLemonade is right;

The water saturday night got spiked by someone. xD That's why it took them awhile to pass it out to people for a period of time. they had to get fresh water.

[DJomgPLUR]

I was staff at the event you are both wrong, a few people were kicked out for being under the influence of drugs and blamed it on the water being spiked to cover their ass for being fukd up.

[daraksta]

Where was this?

[xFilthInTheBeautyx]

Ahh okay. That makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up (:

Of course they would blame it on the water >.>

[prop8ntballa23131]

do these raves happen alot i wanna go to one

[keiichi000]

This particular 'rave' happens once a year at the Project A-kon Anime Convention in Dallas, TX. But, the DJs from this particular night spin at other venues throughout the year.

[LatinaVixen91]

Ah so that is what happened? o.O wow

[rsvcivic]

@DJomgPLUR thats gay. mdma is a + for these events! lol

[fafinaf]

@DJomgPLUR i didn't expect there to be ravers at an Akon concert. crazy. a lot of people rollin there?

[MyAcidPinkLemonade]

[sandra18097]

[MyAcidPinkLemonade]

[BloodThirstWolf]

Ohhhh..they were yelling turn off the lights XD

But man Dx

I missed the Friday night rave :(

The Saturday night rave was crazy though....I just wanna know what the gothic dressed people on stage were called. I only remember some lyrics..."dirty girls make some noise for the dirty boys" er...something like that ^^'

[Alavistaven2012]

I was there, it was SOOOOOOOO much fun. lol.

[rainbowxXxpanda]

i was there, and it was awesome!!!

[kathyshakedown]

lol omg! its looks so fun!

i'll actually be going to one tomorrow

[KazekageTobiLover]

i can see my frends who went one of them got groped at this rave

[Mag1kM1k3]

Why do anime cons always hire terrible DJ's =(

I have to admit the music in this video is pretty decent. The night I was there the music and the mixing was just awful.

And the nightlife at A-Kon was fine. It just depended where you were, and who you were with.

[catiebabii1991]

this is why afterlife sucked that weekend lol :(

[7123Tre]

DAMNN!

[Deneteus]

LOL Turn Off the Lights!! It was hot as hell in there!!

[PrinceoftheNight666]

[LatinaVixen91]

[HarliquinGirl07]

........WHAT?!?

[ChibiChibiKai]

By the way, the DJs were DJ Keiichi, Spunky Da Bunny, and DJ Eddo.

[RyuzakiRaito13]

Aw, I missed this! D: My best friend was my only ride, and she was tired! D:< So we had to leave. And that was my first A-Kon!

[Grant112988]

Hahahaha. Of course you were busy, Keiichi!

[keiichi000]

[HarliquinGirl07]

[genericwit]

OH MY GOD! Were you at the front of the concert cuz I think I remember you! Hahaha!

[HarliquinGirl07]

Not sure if we were in front but we were pretty damn close. LOL. We were like right there when there was a circle of solo dancing.

[Grant112988]

[Grant112988]

No way! I'm all about PLUR in my every day life, so naturally it'll be on even more at a rave.

[SailorBarsoom]

I'm new to raving, and a bit old for it. But PLUR is something that really appeals to me. I don't always live up to it, but I'm trying to more often.

[suki3275]

agh!!! i cant believe i didnt go!! *facepalm*

[Brutestone]

I was SO TOTALLY THERE! But at that time I was way in the back watching the people with the Light rods..it looked trippy in the dark HAHA..also I walked around...DId anyone see a dude that was wearing a black NOBODY cosplay jacket wearing a Steampunk mask..yea that was me ^_^

[sakuraharuko]

Oh man, that rave was fun. (:

I didn't get there until later though.

[ghstenor]

What a fun rave. The first DJ was awesome.

[Grant112988]

Peace. Love. Unity. Respect. All of this and more were on display at the rave. The best of times.

[midnightbloodlust15]

I was there... it was absolutely amazing

[gaveZexionMyHeart]

[How2Rave]

WOW!!! that looks like one KICK ASS RAVE. nive vid

[DJomgPLUR]

[Digitholly]

I was there...i was in the group that kept yelling WHAT? and A-KON!!! over and over again throughout the rave

[Grant112988]

This was the highlight of the weekend, for sure. The Friday night rave was amazing! If any of you saw me, I was the guy in the bear hat and glasses. Haha.

[HackerEd]

The first 5 minutes or so was our sound check but they did not clear the room. Once it sounded good we had them shut them off. I was in the blue on the stage.

[lon3lyaznikka]

why were the lights on?
