Original Blog Text:
I was in a chat room last night, and a very interesting young lady popped in. She announced, “I’m on acid.” Moments later, I received a Private Message room from her. (see the PrintScreens below)
As you can see, I’ve obscured her name, but I thought you might like to know something about her, thus I obtained this information from her profile:
She is a very pretty New Member (with 349 friends already!), 19 Years Old, from Australia (The City and Province have been omitted to prevent you from making a successful search. I want to protect her anonymity.)
About me: i wish i was a fairy that live under toadstools and smoked fairy dust all day long
Passions: Dooooofing And Getting Off My Head
Hobbies: Smoking The Chronic, Tripping, Laughing, Singing
Sense of Humor: I am the life of the party
Fashion: Minimal (I wear as little as I can)
Music: Psytrance
With two separate references to “doofing,” I was compelled to google the word. Wikipedia provided the definition:
A doof or bush doof is a type of outdoor dance party in Australia, generally held in a remote country area or just outside big cities in surrounding bush or rainforests and similar to raves or teknivals, but with a different, more empathetic atmosphere. Doofs generally have live electronic artists and DJs playing a range of electronic music, commonly Goa and psychedelic trance. Doof is also a slang term for food.
The attendees of doof party events tend to be an 'alternative crowd', though the hippie subculture is quite involved with these events. Piercings, dreadlocks and brightly coloured hair were at one stage trademark dress styles within the doof crowd, though other areas of rave culture have begun to bleed through into the doof culture.
Doof parties/festivals commonly go under the radar of most people as they are usually advertised by word of mouth in the doof communities.
She provided three separate YouTube videos of this “doofing” activity:
I've also included an image taken from her Picture Gallery. It was labelled "For Trippers And Only Trippers."
You meet very interesting people in WireClub!

StuckInTheSixties: Doof's are only similar to Pink Floyd concerts in the similarity of the chemical amusements. That reference was to the the overblown display of emots. I often pop into "stoner" rooms, drop the emot bomb, say, "Looks almost like a Pink Floyd concert," and pop out again. My most often perpetrated WireClub prank!
