Twitterive Experience - Dayglow 2012 Festival Pier in Penns Landing
Urban Dictionary defines "Dayglow"
" The world's largest paint party! A rave-like dance with neon paint, loud techno music, flashing lights, and usually a lot of college kids... Attendants wear white and prepare to be blasted with neon paint, dance like an idiot for 5 hours, and probably be groped by someone..."

At the time that I wrote this I didn't exactly realize why. When I first went back and reread all of my tweets I considered this one to be bland and boring, but it really captures who I am when I looked at it closer. I hate being in enclosed spaces, buses for one are a little too small for me, so since the bus ride was rowdy, I was without a doubt uncomfortable. Not knowing people didn't help either. I had a few friends with me, but all the other people on the bus clearly knew who everyone was.

I really enjoyed that at an event like the one I went to, Dayglow, everyone is on the same level in a couple ways. Everyone disregards everything for awhile and just gets together to have a unique, crazy and creative experience. My favorite form of our unity is that everyone wears white, and our unity just gets added too by the bursts of paint and color throughout the night.

The rain pounded the pavement, that didn't stop the music from pounding throughout the event space or our feet pounding on the floor while we danced. The experience was just better. The rain made us laugh, slip and fall and the contrast between our sweaty bodies from dancing and the cold rain felt like pure joy.
Rain rain please don't stop
