Editors' Take
If you've ever been struck with the urge to start a silent conga line or do the YMCA without musical accompaniment, then Boston's own Silent Rave is for you. Bring your iPod, put on your favorite song, then dance your face off along with hundreds of other silent ravers.
Boston Common, northwest corner @ Beacon St & Charles St
Friday, May 16
7:19-11:19pm
In the last several months, people in cities around the world (most
recently in NY on 4/18) have gathered for silent raves, dancing
into the hours of the night to the music of their choice on their
personal music players.
A Silent Rave, or Mobile Club, or Silent Disco, is a simple
concept. Hundreds, hopefully thousands, of people from any
background of life turn up in a public place at a pre-arranged
time, turn on their Walkmans, CD players, and iPods and dance
freely to whatever music they choose to listen to!

Imagine the pure liberation at dancing however you want to, to
whatever music your heart desires from Ozzy Osbourne to Justice,
and not caring what anyone else thinks!
It's time for Boston to have a dance party of its own.
Check out the pics from Silent Rave New York on Facebook and
YouTube.
There's some great ones posted from recent Mobile Clubs at the Tate
Modern Gallery and St Paul's Cathedral, London for you to enjoy!
Please invite literally everyone you know in order that we can
spread this and make it not only happen, but the first of many of
these fantastic events! This will only get off the ground with your
help, so please do whatever you can to bring enjoyment to this
great city!
