so there is this other list and this is a thread that has been going on
for about as long as this one:

fyi, flagging is sort of like glowsticking but you use giant
folklorico-dress like pieces of fabric and much more space.

Well here's another 40 year old still going and
enjoying every minute of it. I really enjoy the
music and now enjoy doing flagging. It's all about
your friends and what exactly you are expecting.

I plan on being just like the granny in Studio 54 and
dancing till I can't dance any more! Now it's fun to
just sit back and watch all the events happen on the
dance floor and I always say if I only had known about
the circuit when I was 20!
