That Thing was an underground rave held on September 14, 1996 in Pittsburgh, PA, presented by Holsome Productions. The event featured a massive sound and lighting setup — the Main Room boasted 30,000 watts with a 'Moonbounce/Sky Blue' lighting rig, while the Other Room featured 10,000 watts of intelligent lighting including thunder and lightning effects. Admission was $8 in advance with a flyer or $20 at the door without one. The flyer promoted a strict 'no bad attitudes, no alcohol, no weapons, no markers' policy, encouraging attendees to bring 'smiles, energy, and good shoes.' Regional promotion and info lines were listed for Pennsylvania, DC, Maryland, Delaware, and New York contacts, including crews and promoters such as Spawntaneous, Psychoactive, The Turkeyz, UPG Inc., Special K, Judo Bro, and Scott the Bunkin' Guy, reflecting the widespread East Coast rave network of the era.
