Rock or Rave t-shirt winners
We were inundated by rockers and ravers all dying to get their hands on our amazing t-shirts. We asked you which you preferred and why: rock or rave. Here are the winners’ responses, firstly those who said ROCK:
‘Because Rock rhymes with sock, and some socks are really coool like the ones with sheep on. But Rave rhymes with cave and caves are dark and scary, and even make dragons cry; dragon tears.’ Lewis Terry
‘Because if I hadn’t been rocking quite as much at the Killers performance I wouldn't have fallen flat on my back in the mud but wouldn't have had such a memorable yet muddy time at Glastonbury!’ Amanda Graham
‘Cos there’s nothing like a good mosh in a seriously muddy pit...and let’s face it, without Rock, Paper and Scissors would be lonely.’ Lara Groves
And the RAVERS:
‘Because raving’s so much more fun in the mud with wellies on! (Ref: Dance Tents, Glasto 2007).’ Philip Auger
‘Glowsticks are carbon-free lighting!’ A green energy solution from Octavia Young
And there is this response from Lucy Tate. Cheers Lucy, interesting train of thought there…
‘I have tried to fill this in about 5 times now and every time I start writing about how I like one, I change my mind as I think of a better reason to like the other. how am I supposed to choose? I have been pondering for quite a while now however, and I have decided to settle on RAVE... although I love rock, I just think im a raver. (by the way, if I make a spelling mistake does that inhibit my chances, because i do have trouble with spelling)... well, as i was saying, rave is my choice. i think the word 'RAVE' just generally gives very positive connotations, gives a sense of energy. and togetherness. like everyone is raving together. and i think that's a good way to go through life... together and with energy. and i know its really stereotypical and offensive but when people say the word 'ROCK' to me, i get a picture in my mind of fat, middle aged bikers, with tattoos and long hair who swear alot and have BO problms. but when you say 'RAVE' to me i think of parties and fun and colour and flashing lights, like the bit out of 'The Matrix Reloaded' when they're all in the caves having a good time and that generally is much more appealling. (if whoever is reading this hasn't seen the matrix reloaded before, don't bother watching it cos its really boring and wierd. i only watched it cos my brother was and i had nothing better to do) i wonder if anyone else has written as much as i have. i feel like im going off the piont a bit. my point is, that to rave is really fun and laidback and easygoing but can be quite intense and hardcore, and dancing is good exercise and good fun. Anyway, i think the person reading this will probably be bored by now so ill stop, and whoever is reading this, have a nice day!! Thanks x x’
