Designed rarity: about 14% of takers
You can be on the floor at three with a glass of water, having a better night than most of the room. Some of that may have been a choice and some of it not, and either way you stopped explaining it long ago. You hear the mix, the room turning, the moment a set finds its idea, with nothing between you and it. You leave when it stops being good, and you are usually the first to notice.
You plan your night around the music: the lineup, the system, the set worth staying for. You find the spot where the sound is best and stay focused for hours, often on the floor longer than you expected. You get yourself home on your own terms, and the next day you remember the whole night accurately, including the parts that were not great.
