Subject: thanksgiving thanks (saturn5)
Sender: sfraves-owner@hyperreal.com
Precedence: bulk


I wanted to thank everyone who came out to Thanksgiving this past
Thursday night. It really sucks that we were busted, but being the
only party in town meant we were the only thing for the cops to
harrass. Oh well! :) We eventually moved to Berkeley, and despite
the fact that the visuals didn't come with us, we still had a rockin'
time!!! :) We had great music, wonderful people, and lots of Chai!

This was the first party by saturn5, and it's certainly not the last!
Furture saturn5 parties will continue to have more of an emphasis on
multimedia and visual art, looking at raving as eye candy for a
cyber-culture. Also, we're looking into having permitted parties in
San Francisco, so we can avoid all of this police nonsense. :) We'll
be working with a local space owner to bring their warehouse up to
safety and legal standards for permitting. 

There are other exciting plans (shhh!) for the next party(s), so keep
your ears and eyes open for future saturn5 events! I also wanted thank
the following people for all of their hard work, and for putting up
with the aggravation of getting busted:

- Randy Cone from Dionysus Dreams for the excellent visuals and lighting
- Greg Sandler from Harmony for his techno-riffic intellibeams
- Crystal from Dimension 7 for her impromptu video mixing
- Gateway Systems for top notch sound (as always!)
- Dave from Insite Lighting for last minute blacklights
- Nub Chai Circus for coming up to serve the elixir of life
- Jon Logan, John Carel, Mystr-E, Anna (Anon), and Warren Parker for
  spinning some bad-ass sets! :)

and thanks to the rest of the crew who helped out (couldn't have
done it without ya!). AND especially to David Lowe and Sarah
for putting up with me! :) You guys *rock*.

I hope everyone enjoyed the dinner as much as I did. :) Even though
Raw could not cater due to scheduling conlicts, the all-vegan buffet
dinner really kicked ass! Hopefully, we'll continue to serve more
yummy organic food in the future. :)

Again, thanks for coming out and supporting saturn5, and we'll see you
at the next event!

Steve

Hey everybody and O ma gawd! WoooooooWoooooo! Detroit is in the mutha-phuckin' House!

So r u wondering if matter is going to say this was the best par-tay, yet [agin]? Mai 
oui, mon amis. "The best phuckin' par-tay, yet!" Here's the synapsis... uh, synopsis ;)

Connected at Pizza Papalis in Greektown [around 10:40p Detroit time]. BTW, this used to 
be a really great place for 'za and good service. Sadly, is no longer the case. I 
wouldn't recommend it agin, unless new mgmt or sumthin' changes. Meeting for dinner (I 
do the best I can here, pleez slap me): MikeyD, Gage, Tom, Ed, Kevin and Amy (dam, I 
gotta learn some of those name-tricks, cuz I know I'm forgetting several ppl). Great 2 
meet u new friends/see you all agin! Musta been around 12:00a, by the time we cut 
out...

Arrived at the space shortly from greektown. We parked and mosied our way to the 
entrance. While waiting in line, I noticed a strange (yet familiar) hissing sound. 
Hmmm, someone must have a leak in a tire or something ;). Now, the weather was fair 
(slight rain misting) and not too cold, but the line was moving way slow and it must 
have taken us 1.5 hours to get to the door. Upon entering we we're told that this 
par-tay which had been "hyped" as being a $5 event was now going to cost $10. Hmmmm, 
with all due respect to Poorboy in Detroit -> you can't do that! Plain and simple: that 
is just wrong. To change the advertised price of the par-tay at the door is not kewl. 
Especially with all of the emphasis which was placed on it being a $5 ("not a typo") 
event. Whatever... When they asked me for $10, I jus' told 'em all I had was $5 and I 
came from Chicago and "u can't do that". They were kewl about it and after a 
trouble-free search, I was in! ;) IMHO -> some ppl have gripes about security and such, 
I think it's all good, don't want to take the chance on some moron bringin' a gun or 
something into the place...

Da Shit itself: I know I always say this was the best one yet! ;) Honestly, It's nice 
that I made it to Blessings last Wednesday in Chicago, 'cause otherwise Detroit woulda 
put Chicago to shame (Blessing was the first really vibey Chicago par-tay I have 
experienced in years). I'm just talking vibe...not music, here. Detroit has the shit 
going on! :D Very simple lighting, nothing fancy: a few strobes, some green floods. 
Nice sound. The booty room coulda been a bit bigger, but oh well...

The people were so damn nice and friendly! :D Lots of hugs and love flowing all around! 
;) I don't know what 2 say, what else is there. I had a great time at this one and send 
out big love to all of the ppl who were involved w/ this one! :D I wish I could do a 
better job revu-ing the DJs, however, I will simply say they were all dam good and 
innovative. There was one guy, (I think) Derrick who provided some great techno (ahh).  
The thing went until 7:00a or so. Nice. ;)

Besides the ppl already mentioned from the pre-par-tay net.meet, I also gotta say it 
was kewl meeting Micheal, Dianna, "Troyee" and everyone else I am forgetting (duh). 

Here's a little something this par-tay inspired in me:

As we move closer, we grow.
So much is said without words,
Perhaps we have met before.
In another time, another place.
We can remember all that we have forgotten.
Regenerating the good that exists within all,
Bound by reality and dimension.
Our understanding of our world becomes clearer,
As we open up to ways of thought
Not so unlike our own.

PLUR -> Rage,
  matter

Hi everyone! :) I just thought I should share my experience with you guys..

The place had a lot of people and a lot of NEGATIVE attitudes. It was scary...
yet...I was on two hits of E and some shrooms so I was having a blast! ;) which
reminds me... People, NEVER smoke cigarretes when you are shrooming as hard
I was..
I had a bad trip :( and I guess I couldn't get out of it cause the energy was
not Positive at all... :(

I did have fun and I did not think I wasted $25 :) in fact, I take pride of
everysingle
penny I spent! :P 

Anyhow... who else was there anyway?
luv to allz
Pab

PS: G'nite ;) just got home, I'm not waking up 'till monday morning ;)

 Does anyone here have any experience with the Roland TR-626 drum
machine? I was in a music store that had used musical instruments,
and they have one for $99 ( no manual or cables, I assume ). I want
to know whether the sounds compare to TR-808 / TR-909 persussion
sounds.

 Too bad we don't have the names of the folks in "CR Power" - it's easy
to change organizational names and keep the same bunch of scamsters...

Your right Pablo.

  The place was swarming with negativity.
  After four hours of that ravE. I couldn't even crack a smile no more.
  
To much industrial house.

 I had a blast though. Things could of been worse, I guess. I mean, I could
of actually gave a shit what negative people thought about me, or
something. Besides. I rather enjoy the feeling of being back in high school
on occasion.

it was a good party to go to.  I had a lot of fun walking arround smiling
all night long, playing with my glowsticks, tripping the clubbies out with
the way I dance. :-)  I didn't like the negative vibes coming from the
enviornment as a whole, you know what I mean?  Well anyway, we were the
first people in the line, my friends and I until they moved the guys to one
side and the girls to another to get searched.  Which was funny because I
was able to sneak 3 bottles of water into the party.  The front room was
really cool with all the visuals going on the back wall.  I really didn't
like the way people would tag the back wall, there is no purpose for doing
that, execpt make a space now longer available.  I met a lot of new friends
last night, but that seems always to be the case at any party I go to. 
After the whole Ubiquitous event last night was just unbelivable, which is
scarry because it was lacking the rave vibe ;-(  Anyway, I think I will
just stick to the underground parties from now on, you know what I mean? 
Well I am going to go back to bed now.
Rave on brothers and sisters,
Eric

Hello people!

Saturn5's thanksgiving party was a success, despite all setbacks and
difficulties (our boys in blue again!)  I had a wonderful time, myself -
and everyone I spoke to had an equally wonderful time.  It's safe to say
this was my best thanksgiving ever. 

Working, early on, with Randy, Greg, Steve and company, was a blast.  Once
again, I got to feel like I was a part of creating the atmosphere of the
party - transforming a big square room into a beautiful dance floor.  The
crew was pretty small, so there was a lot of work to do, but everyone was
really together and focused, so by the time I left for the map point the
space was already looking great.

The only real bummer of the night for me is that because I was at the
map point until the bust, I never got to see the party in full swing at
150 folsom.  I've been told the visuals were really phenomenal, and I
really wish I'd had the chance to see them.  By the time I got to the
warehouse, most of the equipment had already been torn down.

Over in Berkeley, when the party got re-started, it was great.  Minimal
lighting, Nub Chai, a cozy fire, fantastic music (Mystr-E with a
familiarly great set, Anna with her beautiful goa, and Warren Parker, the
surprise of the morning, keeping the floor moving until 7:30 with a great
set) and great company.  It was really cool, really cozy and intimate...
my favourite kind of party.

Cleanup, pancakes, then sleep.  I'm happy to have been a part of a
wonderful thanksgiving that brought smiles to so many peoples' faces -
especially my own.  Thanks Steve!

See you all next time...

At last, I caught the AMP on MTV last night.  Many of the groups
deserve commendation for creating the computer graphics on some dazzling
videos. Despite what criticism people may say about commercialization of
the 'scene', if it inspires more people to create and share beauty with
the world, I'm all for it.  Saying that MTV kids don't have good taste in
music is like comparing beer at frat parties to E at raves.  There's
always more crap when we get something in plentitude(sp?) for cheap.  
It would be awesome if MTV played good stuff all the time, but the
mainstream will always be a potluck of everything good and bad.  Our
energies can be better directed at improving the music in our scene. I'd
like to see some open evaluations of groups and DJ's mixing styles.  So
far my vocabulary consists of phat, smooth (transition), dope, and
cerebral.  Some edumacation would be good.

I was wondering, if there are any non-techno bands or groups you like 
which you think share similar qualities to electronic music. I am a big 
fan of repetitive beats and find myself drawn to 'drone' bands who use 
repetition as a focal point in their music. Some of my favorites are: 
Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Spectrum, Stereolab, The Velevet Underground,  
My Bloody Valentine and Tortoise. 

What kinds of music do you think complement your love for electronica??

I'd have to say the Swans also fit the bill. Their intense droning
textured style often remind me of layered ambient synthesis.

I'd say Slowdive fall into this category, The Verve had some good ones
along this line, as well.  And don't forget Stone Roses' "Fool's Gold".

there's a Herbie Hancock album called "Head Hunters" which was released in
the 1970s... it was some of the earliest "fusion" or "acid" jazz... there's
a track on there called "vein melter" which i would love to hear in an
ambient room... it's one of the best pieces of stoner/trip music i have
ever heard.

love,

brian

 Thank you SAmi!! I was trying to think of some groups and I couldn't
until now. I haven't listened to Slowdive since high school ('93) but a
friend introduced them to me and I really enjoyed their music. Have they
come out with any new music lately?

  U2, U2, and more U2 ;)  One of my secret fantasies is to hijack the
turntables at the conclusion of a great rave, and end the party with their
song 'Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around the World'  (since it's a song
written about coming home after a rave, when you're too blissed out to do
anything but smile)
  Ahhh, how I wish turntable-seizing was socially acceptable! :)
   
best,

Hmm, I'm a big fan of industrial actually, einsturzende neubauten and 
the like.  
very noisy, but they do share the repetition and slow growth of 
rythmic patterns 
that I like in techno.

oh i don't know ... since all the other groups i like use electronics to 
a large extent :)  but non-techno-yet-hypnosis-inducing for me includes 
some Spiritualized, Pink Floyd (of course!), Enya, Alan Parsons Project 
(yes!  and i'm not even blushing!), Cocteau Twins, Vivaldi, Mozart, and 
lots of early medieval madrigals and chamber music.  i'm a HUGE fan of 
thick, rich, juicy strings :)

	This was a pretty shittey post.  I'm sorry to see that you think
	E is the only way to have fun.  At least now I know where people
	like Leeza (and her crew) get the idea that raving is only about
	DRUGS!!!!!!!!!

	I  went sober with all my friends and we had lots of fun.  I'm
	sorry to see that you feel the need to be so dependent on E
	to have a good time   :(

	I went with my friends and we had lots of fun.  Yes it was hot and there
	were lots of people, but that's part of raving.

	Did anyone else hear the phat mix of Basco into that hard Skint beat.
	It kicked ass!!!!!

	I'm sorry to say though, DJ DAN's set was sorta disapointing.  It was
	kinda hard and angry....theories why:
	1) his boyfriend broke with him
	2) his boyfriend cheated on him
	3) he had a bad day
	4) he thought it was too hot and stuffy in that tiny room
	5) he's been out of the US too long
	6) he's practicing for Germany Dec. 14th

	At least there was that phat set in the room next door
	right before Dan went on.  Anyone know who that was?

hello all-

[disclaimer: if you don't like lovey-dovey posts, go away now!  otherwise,
you have no right to bitch at me for my nrr posts!
just wanted to say hello from wherever i happen to be right now (it changes
far too quick for even me to keep track of!)

i had a wonderful thanksgiving break (though i did miss my girl while she
traveled) and i wanted to spread some of that wonderful feeling i have to
you!!!!!!!!

so here goes!

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE!!!


ok, now that i've got that out of my system, i can return to my normal
quantum flux!

i love you all-

matt


p.s. - kudos to steve s for putting together a killer party: here's my
description of the inagural saturn5: "if you took the essense of raving (the
people, the music, the dancing) stuffed it, yourself, and 50 of your closest
friends, into a little box, while some giant outside picked up the box and
shook it wildly above his head for a few hours, you'd have saturn5!"

good job steve!

love, once again-

matt

                 HOW TO SPOT A RAVER......................

           Ravers can perfectly understand and have amazing conversations
  with anyone under the age of ten.
           Ravers know where all the best toy stores are.
           Ravers get the most mileage out of their shoes. The toes and heels
  always curl up because they're so worn down.
           Ravers always wish the dj would spin that OC Transpo track that
  they keep hearing on the bus ride home.
           Ravers are the only people who don't have their age calculated in
  months, yet still wear and use pacifiers.
           Ravers always consider every new place they go to as a possible
  location for a party.
           Ravers hug EVERYONE.
           Ravers can DANCE.
           Ravers can be found dancing everywhere EXCEPT the main dance
floor.
           Ravers understand the art of the bathroom conversation.
           Ravers choose their clothes by texture, colour, and size.
           Ravers love homemade clothes because they've seen the price tag on
  a pair of Lithiums.
           Ravers get the most enjoyment out of gino/guit  stories.
           Ravers always order water when they go out to clubs.
           Ravers realize that "Evian" spells "naivE" backwards.
           Ravers notice that the doors near the Mackenzie King Bridge have
  an "e" on the handle.
           Ravers always know the most likely spot to find other ravers
  within a one-hundred foot radius.
           Ravers don't bother planning to meet their friends ahead of time,
  their friends are always already there.
           Ravers don't say "Nice shoes, wanna fu@k?"
           Ravers give the best hugs and massages.
           Ravers have a one track mind. It goes "thump thump      tweet
thump tweet thump".
           Ravers constantly point out the trippy visuals in everyday life.
           Ravers helped Adidas through the "lean" years.
           Ravers never know the name of their favorite tracks.
           Ravers know how to SMILE.
           Ravers always choose "e" on multiple choice questions.
           Ravers are good at playing "guess what he's on".
           Ravers will say "hi" to those people they don't know, yet always
  see on the bus.
           Ravers can't watch Electric Circus without it being muted.
           Ravers define the style of music they listen to as "good".
            Ravers know what to do with a dead glowstick !

I saw a Slowdive 12" in Mod Lang, Berkeley today, as a matter of fact.  I
can't remember the name nor how old it was, but there are still releases
floating around at least.

Dear SFRavefriends,

	I happened to still have this message that was sent out before the
event (I saved it because I thought I'd go -- glad I didn't.)  It lists
several promoter groups as being involved (with a nod to Jake's claim that
Ghostribe actually was not), and the sender is Ivan Vasquez, with copies
going to the other . Can you shed some light for us Ivan? 

Much love,

has anyone heard the aphex remix of curve?

how about the oval remixes of Tortoise?

if you're into music of this vein check out the latest release from
Nonplace Urban Field ("Goldenstar" on Incoming!) which has the highest
production quality i've heard in months... squarepusher meets hawtin
meets pork recordings... it's fucking mad! i tell you...

>The place had a lot of people and a lot of NEGATIVE attitudes. It was
scary...

Way too many people mostly standing around...I fault part of that to the
sets being played...nothing uplifting, straight "trancy" material but flavored
for the most part near the industrial realms of oppresive vibes...but
mostly to
the environment and people there....not to mention that damn yellow light
on the Butterfly murial that was blasting into everyone's eyes and
generally preventing that cozy feeling from forming.

>From: "Eric Vandenbroek" <eric1488@pacbell.net>
>I didn't like the negative vibes coming from the

A lot of non-friendly vibes and gangsta' types seem drawn to the various 
massive parties I've been to at the HomeBase site...

Sorry to come across so negative, but after the fiasco with UBIQUITOUS the
night before, I was really in the mood for an uplifting party.  A friend went
with us last night...anxious to participate in the event (his first)...and
after
his experience at BE HERE NOW, I'm sad to say he'll probably never join again.

As I pull on my flame-retardent rave-wear, I'd also like to say that way too
many "kids" have been entering the scene...I'm not saying that I don't
appreciate the things that the majority of this part of the crowd can bring
to a good party,
but when I start routinely running into a bunch of 12 year olds with their
parents
and the topic of conversation when meeting new people is the arithmetic
assignment due the next day in Junior High School, I question If I've made
it to the right party.

How about advertising events with a general idea of the age of the attendants.
Like:  All ages, 18 and older, or 21+....seems most of the parties I've
been to
lately indicate nothing and end up "glorified" after-school dance parties.
And maybe allow those of us that are of legal age to enjoy an alcholic
drink from time-to-time the opportunity to do so, and ban the practice of
no re-entry.

Just my thoughts....

Before I got into techno I was listening to a lot of old groove tunes by
artists like Booker T. and the MGs and the Bar-Kays... those old grooves
have teh same kind of steady rhythm, but have the funked out organ leads
and stuff...  I would highly reccommend checking this stuff out if you
haven't before 
:)

You know, I have been thinking about the roll of the DJ a lot lately.  As
I watch a lot of people jumping into the world of DJing, i see a lot of
people with different views of what the DJ is.  Now, the way I see it,
the sj is really there to help the vibe along.  The vibe is not created by
the DJ, or by the DJs music.  It is created by the people grooving.  The
DJ has to help it keep going.  The DJ is _not_ just a beatmatching tool.
Shit, we have machines that do that.  The DJ is not even required by
definition to spin 'techno' or whatnot.  The discussion of non-electronic
music made me think of that even more.  I remember on one mixtape that I
did, I put a non-beatmatched  song called "Do You Know What I Mean" by one
of the greatest keyboardists ever, Lee Michaels.  My friends called up and
said, What's with that rock song at the end?  But soon, folks were saying
that they had really started digging that tune.  It worked with the vibe.  
Just random thoughts...

I was wondering if anybody knows any online house music record ordering 
services where you can actually hear the music online.  I like DJTRAXX 
except I don't want to pay $12 for a $5 record.

hello all,

not being a participater in the E taking I was wondering how other non-drug 
people manage to stay up so long.  I usually find myself winding down around 
4:00 and after that cannot usually be revived unless there is some really 
kick-ass music going.  Being tired beyond the point of exhaustion usually ruins 
my night so I leave when I start to feel it set in.  I would like to be able to 
stay up longer but the after effects (and during effects) of stuff to keep you 
up longer does not interest me at all.  So...how do you do it? 

wish me luck for my admissions interview at FIDM tommorow, please,

later everyone,

Megan      Czefir

Regarding how to keep going sober...

	When I go sober I drink lots of water and juice.  I also never sit
down for too long, that way I can get up again.
	Also, we all know that E dialates the pupils.  Does anyone know
why, or what this may be doing to one's eyesight when the eye is so over
exposed to light.  What about other ramifications of E besides just a
hangover.  Anyone?

my friends joke that i'm always eating at raves...which is pretty much
true. i constantly snack on dried fruit/cereal/granola/whatever to keep
my energy up (and quiet my growing stomach). bananas have lotsa
potassium...good for lots of dancing. another (pretty obvious) solution
is to take a "disco nap" just before you go out. you know, get out of
work/school in the early afternoon, crash for a few hours (a little goes
a long way), then get up and party your brains out. problem is, just
before a party that you know is gonna be great, that pre-party
anticipation usually keeps you from sleeping. saturday parties are
usually easier to plan for...just stay up REALLY late friday night (i
don't work weekends, so this isn't a prob for me), then sleep in
saturday. be sure to rest enough on sunday night!
oh, and drink lots of water, even if you don't drop E. helps keep the
colds away.

crazee mad flava props to ya for raving sober!
(no, i don't REALLY talk like that!)

About Scott's idea to maybe have an age limit:  I personally hate
discriminating altogether, but it might be an ok idea, within certain
parameters.  Like Scott suggested, parties could be advertized as 18+.  I
don't think we'd have to check IDs at the door or anything, but that in
itself may weed out some of the pre-pubescents some of us are more
concerned about by virtue of the fact that they wouldn't even try to go
since they wouldn't think they'd "be able to get in".  The seventeen
year-olds and such might be more confident, but they're closer to the
more comfortable age spectrum anyway.  I mean, I hate to babysit, but at
the same time, I think we need to remember that there are certain
liabilities in everything we do.  So in at least one sense, it's not that
the young'uns are being attacked by the "older elite", but that we are
just trying to protect ourselves from <underline>our</underline> "older
elite".  Dunno, don't care.  Haven't been to  a party in over two months.
 Things just get kinda hazy when I don't dance.  Just thought I'd throw
that out at Scott on the off-chance it help a bit.  TTFN.  PLUR! : )

P.S. I'll hopefully be hitting Karma this saturday.  Gonna Dance... gotta
dance!  Hope to see a lot of smiles there! :D

TranceMission and The Rocking Horse People (Both bands share the same 
players + or - 1 or 2) are a local band with some albums out on City of 
Tribes Records, very ethnic with a modern twist. Very hypnotic.

	For your information, in that post it was stated that the only
	way anyone was going to have phun was if they took some drugs.
	I'm sorry to see your so dependent on drugs to depict your
	feelings for a certain space in the time of your now
	getting shorter (compliments of these wonderful drugs) life.

	And about the "Adidas wearing ganstas"   GET OFF IT
	I wore all Adidas down to my sports bra and socks and am I a gangsta?
	1) I didn't harrass anyone
	2) sold no drugs
	3) didn't steal anything from anyone
	4) had lots of phun dancing with my SOBER friends
	5) gave lots of hugs
	6) and SM:)ED a lot

Well obviously there is an art to sober raving, and to keep up with all 
those who are 'not' sober can sometimes be a challenge ;)

But there are tons of ways to stay alive throughout the night.  
*	Firstly and most importantly is **BAD-ASS** music (without i almost 
	always die)

*	Then Id say people and their vibes are number two...

---> but from here the rest is up to yooooou!  & theres lots of options

*	ok, theres 'Vivarin' & NoDoze, they're great for some mild tweaking,
	haha, just kidding, but they DO keep you 'UP'.  Then again they
	are very hard on your stomache, so never take too much.  It isnt
	something you should take for a long time...  theres other the ways!

*	now theres 'herbal power' stuff.  i have recently begun experiment
	ing with this and it's great!  a medium sized bottle of red ginseng
	right before a party TOTALLY energized me!  im looking further 
	into other herbal 'upers'.  SOMETHING NOT TO TRY: MaHuang
	Its as addictive as speed, and quite harmful.  DONT GO THERE :!

*	and then there are many *smart* things to do.
	- resting before partying
	- eating high protein food, some good carbos too!
	- like someone said before, lots of water & juice (ESSENTIAL)
	- take something to munch on. i remember once when i took a couple
	  of pb&j sandwiches, and i ate them when i tought i was pooped.
	  those little badboys perked me up like mad!  Try it!

*	and finally there are "energy boosters" that are available. i dont
	know much about the products that are out there, like at GNC, but
	i sell nutritional products that are sponsored by the US Olympic 
	Licensee comitee, and about 20 olympic atheletes, not to mention 
	ive tried their energy booster, its great!  cheaper than a hit 
	of E, better for you than "psuedo-amphedamines", and works well.

	e-mail me if you want more info on this, they have many other 
	awsome supplements as well. (its worth looking into if youre
		---sick'n'tired of being SICK & TIRED---- haha

Sender: sfraves-owner@hyperreal.com
Precedence: bulk

I've been reading all the postings on UBIQUITOUS and you know the good old
saying "if it's too good to be true, than it probably is" here is one
example where those one of those unwritten laws of life apply.

If you were a promoter, would you dish out $15,000 to throw a party for the
people? or would it be a scam to: 1/GET $$$ NOW or 2/GET $$$ LATER  , I
think it was both. You have to remember that money runs this world, and
even if you want to keep the "vibe" alive you will not give a crap about it
if you saw 2000 people in line with $20 bills in their hands. True there
are a lot of people in the scene who WILL keep the "vibe" going ,but
they're going to have to try very hard not to sell out, especially in the
next couple of years when MTV will be doing a live video shoot at Funky
Techno Tribe featuring DJ Dan/Bassbin twins.
It will happen eventually, If something is appealing to the young
generation,big companies will market,advertise,shrink-wrap and offer
mail-in rebates on it.

If you have been going to raves for a while, treasure the moments and  the
people you've met because you will be telling your kids about it, just like
our parents can tell us about the 60's. Any way or other, I think raves
have made our future generation better, more open-minded, understanding and
positive.

tell me what you think...I though about this

Hi all,

I want to thank everybody who voted for their favorite day.  Here are the
totals:

Thursday: 21
Sunday:   13

no preference:  2

voting twice: 1 (Shame on you, Adam!  ;>)

Thursday it is.  We are now working on confirming a date, and details like
age policy (we want to have it open to everybody, but the final decision
will not be ours to make).  It will be at Cesar's Latin Palace, so there
should be room for everybody (and then some!).

Expect a great vibe, with free vegitarian food.

More updates as they happen.

Peace and love and a full belly,
Kerry

So I guess that everyone who wears Adidas is a gangsta. 
And does alot of drugs.
And disses people who don't seem to be cool enough.
Or something. 
So does that mean that I'm a gangsta when I decide to wear an Adidas 
jacket or shirt? And all my H20 polo player and swimmer friends who wear 
the Adidas sandals or have Adidas shit, they're all druggie gangstas 
too?

Clothes don't make the person, the *person* does. At the risk of quoting 
an increasingly pathetic advertisement, as the Sprite commercial goes, 
"Image is nothing, thirst is everything, obey your thirst." What people 
look like or dress like is NOTHING. 
I've been in a "shitty space filled with a bunch of "A***** wearin 
gangstas" (and OTHER rude types) and it isn't drugs that can save your 
mood, it's your attitude. I mean you can be on DRUGS in a bad scene and 
have an even WORSE time. It's all in how you approach the whole night. 
If you go into a huge place with bad vibes you can say (soberly *or* 
high) "this sucks, I'm gonna have a shitty time, this fucking sucks! I'm 
gonna pop a few pills/tabs" and bitch and moan about it all night and 
have a bad time, or you can say "yea, the vibe's pretty nasty here, but 
i think i can pretty much ignore it and appreciate the music and 
whatever positive people there are around me" and have a not-so-bad if 
not great time. I heard alot of people saying "yea the vibe was shitty 
at _be here now_ but i had a GREAT time." It's all in the attitude, it's 
not in the drug. Raving *can* be appreciated sober. Hell some of the 
most dedicated ravers I know are straightedge! 


So if the vibe isn't all that great, try to focus on the music. And if 
you're hungry for an rEfrEshmEnt, go for it. But if you're taking it to 
avoid the bad vibes, you might end up having a worse time than you would 
have if you were sober. I kinda know from experience (can we say ground 
zero?). It's a personal choice. Stop slammin Adidas, i, and many others 
have been wearing it since they were kiddies, or since they started a 
sport, or just because they think it's a pretty dope label. I mean come 
on, it's a timeless classic. I love it..
But then, that's just me...

Smiles..

Wow. This is really lame. 

I'm tired of messages like this. So what if someone likes raves AND Phish at the same time (yes, they do 
have a lot in common, If one cannot see that then so be it, but thats your opinion, and it's not an opinion 
that calls for the e-mail equivalent of yelling and screaming).  So what if its "NRR"? It's not like this 
is a business mailing list or something A lot of "ravers" are also Phish fans, and the vibe is the same in 
a lot of cases.
 I deal with enough complaints on the job.  And I get paid to deal with those.  It's really depressing when 
on my own time I have to see crap like this.  This is a fucking mailing list about parties. So why are so 
many people on this list so pissed off at each other? I can understand the anger when it's used towards 
something like corrupt cops at a party, or other issues that affect us in that way, but when it's used 
towards someone who is just looking for fellow Phish fans who also happen to like to go to raves, or when 
someone is horribly inconvenienced for 4 seconds because there is that god-awful heathen of a NRR message 
in which someone forgot to state that in the subject field, it just seems really backwards.  
Anyway, enough of my complaining, i've unsubscribed.

Hello hello, and happy Monday everybody.....

Well here's my recap on the weekend (mind you, the weekend includes
Thursday as well...)

__Thanksgiving__   Not to overkill the positivity of Saturn 5's event I
want to express the highlights. 
Dimension 7: The lights were amazing...  Very intimate crowd and
positivity factor was the highest this weekend.
Berkeley: Getting the fire started.  The effort of a bunch of ravers
anticipating the party ready to go off (again) and putting that energy
to do something constructive.  After getting the fire going in the
fireplace we all broke off into really nice conversation until the
speaker setup got us gruuving.   
All in all Great Job!!! It was all that and cornstarch!

__Ubiquitous__  Maybe more appropriately called "whothrewthis?".  
When there is a police presence @ the map point you know it's gonna be a
bust.  I do give small props to the novelty of the location.  (I cracked
a smile thinking that when the "suits" arrive on Monday they'll have no
ider that a party was thrown there... )
The music was very east coastish from my perspective.   Lotsa breakbeat
(w/ the exception of that Eurithmetcs tune).  But this seems to be the
style that will keep techno alive, for better or worse.  Had a great
time getting to that techno level and busting a move or two.
The move busting broke @ 2AM. when the party ended.. err, uhh.  I felt
for allthose that came down from "Sacatomatos" to get the boot and
wonder what else to do...  
Highest and Lowest points: Getting caught in a breakers circle(+) and
pulling, tearing, or causing some horrible damage to my left knee(-) in
that circle... (ouch)

__Hi Fi__  Saturday night. My brother was spinning some old skool
hip-hop and despite having my knee in an Ace bandage and using a cane, I
did manage to hit the dance floor for 1-2 hrs.  The club was bumping and
it's nice to view different mixing with different a style of music.
Can't get over that alcohol consumption rate.  Man, people really need
excuses to get "loose" in this world sometimes.  Drunk people sure do
get bold!!!  But, listening to some old school hip hop was pretty dope
(remember EPMD, and the "Humpdy Dance" everyone???).

Sunday was spent mixing at home (for 3+hrs.) and resting my leg / knee
for the upcoming weekend.  

Perfecting that "Gansta lean"

Ok, I figured I was going to the Capital of Rave city...(whatever that is) I
thought i was going to check out some sick party in the Warehouse
district(wherever that is), i thought this is going to be a trip of a
lifetime!!!!=) I went completley clueless, i didn't know anything about
anything, so I figured I would just figure shit out as I went along. 

       The second day i was there, I found a piece of paper that said
Ministry of Sound...Bingo! Except the date was 9/12/96 a little to late....
:( Oh well. But there was a list of record stores where to buy pre-sale
tickets so i figured wherever there are record stores there are flyers.. I
also looked through the phonebook and every label you could imagine had n
office there, there where about 300 + record stores listed so I just went to
this place called Soho and went travelling around, I assumed that it would be
cheaper to but domestics here, because they are imports here.. But the
exchange rate was 2 bucks to 1 buck (around) in there favour, so i really
didn't do to well! ;( I did score a TON of flyers though. When I asked where
the break-beat was they guy said try stickn' your ear downstairs and listn'.

       I went downstairs at reckless records and hear some SICK jungle...
There was a huge crowd down there and this guy was in the middle of a mix...
absoulutley amazing!!! I have a lot of respect for jungle Dj's cause that
shit is hard to mix! Well there idea of breakbeat was jungle so I was on my
own. I went to some used record stores and scored some ORB on vinyl and
Vapourspace, and some classics. You can't listen to the records so i ended up
with some shit too! :(  I didn't get to check out the rave scene because I
was with my mum and pap and my brother and sister....:( but I got a glimse of
what it was like at the record stores. I have a lot of extra flyers and I can
spare some if people want some... just e-mail me and we can work something
out. Overall I froze my little arse off and had to sight see all day, but I
had a great time!

Jonathan

P.S. wasn't that really boring!!!!!!=)

Gee what would you think if someone said that about raves?!

I think you're quite confused....your giving Phish a
       bad name comparing it to a rave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember not everyone on this list cares about things others talk about, 
I for one don't care to get a run down on DJ Dan's personal life and how 
it relates to why his set wasn't up to par...but I don't go a flaming thar!

peace and love 
drenalin

I for one like Phish a lot, they have great talent, only wish I had known 
they were playing live...somebody let me know next time.

hello all-

very rarely do i publicly blast someone, but this message made me sick:
>

madame mercury, this message was entirely innapropriate.

you have no right to tell someone else that their definition of raving is
wrong.  we each have our own definitions, and if you don't agree, either
a)accept that other people have their own definitions and co-exist happily,
b)keep going and successfully make it into everone's kill file (you're in
many, already!), or c)go away.

i am making this message public, not as a public blast of madame mercury (i
could more easily do that privately where my language would not be so
checked) but as a message to all: (and this is matt preaching)

YOUR DEFINITION OF RAVING IS PROBABLY DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSES!  WE
CAN EITHER BLAST EACH OTHER FOR THEIR DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS, OR WE CAN
ACCEPT THEIR DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS AND CO-EXIST PEACEFULLY!

thank you.  madame mercury, i appologize for the public confrontation, but i
was so struck by your message that i had to respond.  no offense meant to
your personally, just your message.

love to you all, goddamnit!

love-

matt

....I guess you would have to call this the art of relatively sober 
raving....not quite clean but hey no after effects the next day (although afterglow
 can sometimes be better than the original ;)

One thing that stumped me about the party was that when i got in (about 1 
am) all four rooms had the same music spinning...ok maybe thats a 
bit prejudiced....maybe not exactly the same, there was house
hard ass house, local house and really really hard house (i know 
i seem to lack the proper names)
....but it wasnt until 4AM that i first heard some breaks

i think this saved the night for me.

Regarding how to keep going when sober:

Here is an easy solution, that is well-known by anyone who has spent an 
all-nighter at a casino 
in Vegas or Reno or who has been to "discos" in many European cities:

Pump out a shot of oxygen every 20 minutes. It works!!

I don't know what tanks of oxygen cost, but I don't think they're that 
expensive. It would seem that 
they could be integrated into the fog machines pretty easily. 

Just an idea for promoters. I for one would be willing to pay a little extra to 
gain the natural, 
healty and legal energy-boosting benefits of oxygen. Because  I often have to 
work on weekends,
only at about 1/3 of the raves I go to can I be "assistEd" by things.

guys/gals:

just got back from st. louis, missouri where i feasted on you-know-what.
saw all my family, which was great, and managed to get some serious
farm-style relaxation in (sat around and watched the lake).

but here's a story that may support the "mainstreaming of techno" theory...

my cousin richie is a die-hard electric guitarist, and he and all of his
friends are traditional rock junkies.  last christmas i introduced him and
his friends to "beautiful people" (if you recall, it's the band that dubbed
jimi hendrix last year) and it went over so-so.  i thought it would fly
because of jimi, right?  but they kept switching back to soundgarden.  right.

so this thanksgiving i go back and guess what?  richie says to me, "you
gotta hear this cd, man!  i looked for it on your x-radio site and i
couldn't find it, but we all had a mega party a few weeks back and went
crusing around in our limo with this up full blast and it ROCKED!"

it was the CHEMICAL BROTHERS.

say no more?

There's no doubt that techno is about to hit in the U.S., but do you
recall which song of theirs was used in that Microsoft commercial?  There
was no way the ad people for that one would have chosen some driving,
four-on-the-floor thing -- it would have been too much of a statement, too
obviously electronic, and too "this is techno, we're hip".  The song used
in that commercial sounds very similar to garage.  The riff was some
heavily distorted loop and the beat was definitely pulled from a rock
track of some kind.

Granted, I like the song, but I think it figures that the one they would
pick sounds vaguely "conventional".

     What is a drug?
     
     People seem to think caffeine, ephedrine, ginseng, pseudephrine, and 
     their over the counter relatives are not drugs just because they 
     aren't illicit...
     
     THESE ARE DRUGS (well, ginseng might not count by some definitions).
     
     People are already moving to make 'Herbal E' style ephedrine 
     supplements illegal due to some deaths associated with misuse (all 
     cases implied 4 or more times the recommended dosage or use of other 
     chemicals).
     
     Remember that misuse of drugs, not the drugs themselves, is the most 
     common reason people die from them.  Of the three drug OD fatalities I 
     have been close to, two were on 100% legal shit.  Perhaps we should 
     have a war on ignorance instead...
     
     If anybody here has ever taken many Vivarin and can claim not to feel 
     like absolute crap the next day, please step forward.  Also, using 
     caffeine to stay awake while driving is dangerous at best.  Be 
     careful.
     
     You can stay up all night at will.  Just have a good time and you'll 
     forget what time it is.  I personally advocate raving sober AND not 
     sober.  Just enjoy yourself and those around you.  Don't mope around 
     in your sobriety like it's a cross to bear or something.
     
     Oh, and you all forgot the magic elixir that got me through most of 
     Thursday night...
     
     CHAI!!!

I wish weekend was a little longer, but that is probably because I am still
tired from going out on Saturday :(.

Wed - Wish
	Fun, fun, fun - I really like going to Wish, maybe because I really
like having a drink or two (or how-ever-many I want) and dancing to good
music.  A lot of my friends were there, and after having few beers and few
pink lemonades, I made sure I met people that I haven't met before.  And
whoever always puts alcohol down at parties is damn wrong.  I feel like I
am such a good "drinker", I always meet people, I am nice and I personally
don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior (if you ever saw me
under the influence when I wasn't behaving nicely please let me know, and I
will keep it in mind).

Thursday - Thanksgiving
	After trying to get rid of my hangover (I guess that is the only
bad thing about drinking), having little turkey dinner, I was really
looking forward to going to this party (I have been looking forward to it
since I heard of it, because my B-Day was on 29th [after midnight], and Jon
Carel and MYSTR-E were spinning).  Due to whatever (supposedly it was all
my fault) my BF Marc and I got in a pretty bad fight right before we went
out :(.  I thought the fight was over and we would have fun, but little did
I know.  So, by the time we got there, things kept getting worse.  So, if
you saw me, you knew me, and you thought I was rude because I wasn't
talking to any of you, please don't be mad at me - I was basically trying
not to be too upset and trying not to think about the whole situation...
Enough about that....

	The party itself was fun - thanks Steve and others for all the
effort you guys put in.  I had fun listening to Jon Carel (and dancing a
little bit), and I just started getting into MYSTR-E's set when the party
got broken down...  It was sad, because it was my B-Day, my eyes were all
red and big from crying, MYSTR-E was spinning, and the party just got
busted (this was my first busted party as well).  I guess I just couldn't
deal with anything any more, and although we tried calling voice-mail once
(my roomate Ana really wanted to go back), three of us stayed home and fell
asleep.

Saturday - Be Here Now / Tribal Funk
	Marc, Ana, Sy and I went together (around 11pm) and although we had
pre-sale tickets, we didn't avoid the line (the VM said if you had tickets
you wouldn't have to wait in line).  The line was not as bad, so after
getting inside the only thing I kept thinking about was FTT and comparing
it (mistake, but I guess it was still fresh in my mind).  The decorations
in rooms were nowhere close to FTTs, and for some reason the music was not
as great.  I met some people from SFR that I haven't met before (hi Micron
and MHg).

Things that could have been better:
- bathrooms inside, rather than going outside in the rain and getting all
wet and cold
- Tribal Funk's room's ventilation - it was way too hot and although the
music was my favorite there, I couldn't stay there for too long
- DJ Dan's set - FTTs was way better
- Tony spinning early *again*
- wet, dirty floors

I did have fun, but I guess not as much as at FTT.  Maybe Gathering will be
better.

Time to go to lunch - see ya,
*B*

Hmm, pure oxygen...  Isn't that, like, flammable or something?
I think the flammability factor would go down when dispersed, but a
concentrated amount coming out of a fogger???
just pondering...

opinion, and it's not an opinion 

you know, i was introduced to PHISH by a fellow raver. 

i have never had the chance to go to a phish show but have been a part of
the grateful dead scene for longer than the rave scene. 
i know i will probably be flamed for bringing up the dead, but oh well. 

you know, both the grateful dead and phish scenes have attracted a number of
ravers.  
the scenes both give you the great vibe, loving family feel that raving
inspires as well. 

rather than rehashing the view of how that was such a harsh response, i
would rather like to say that it's too bad that you have never taken the
time to enjoy something considered non rave related.  there is a whole world
of music out there of really cool things that once inspired house, techno,
jungle musicians which took their music to another level. (some of these
influnces were even sampled into the music you enjoy!) 

when i responded to the first person who posted about phish, i was invited
to a mini party in the parking lot where they would be spinning some
tunes.(thank you for the invite, i am sorry i missed it!)  in the past, dj's
we all have seen posted here, have spun in the parking lots of grateful dead
shows.

although you will never find jungle music at a phish show, you are
guaranteed to catch some really funky beats! i am sure, since many heads are
also into the phish, you are sure to enjoy some killer drum circles and
great people to dance the night away with!

you know, there are things posted that i maybe do not have interest in or
knowledge in, but i would never think to flame them for my lack of interest.
you know, i live with my boyfriend, who happens to be an electronic musician
(courtney).   i do not have the knowledge to even understand what all goes
into his music but i have had the pleasure to be at a rave where his music
has been played, and just love the end result with all the others!  there
are posts here on musical instruments that i know nothing about, i just hit
delete, no big deal. 
i strayed, i know.  point is, if your into it, go with it.  if your not or
do not choose to be a part of it, leave it out. 

just my $.02.  this was not meant to anger anyone, rather my goal is to show
you all how everything is intertwind. 

peace, 
shannon

I almost forgot to tell you guys about this:

Okay, back after the "Wrinkle in Time" party, I put up a post telling
everyone the results of having a VR set at the party. In it I mentioned
that if anyone wanted to say "Thank You" to my friend who let me barrow
the equipment, just send him email.

Welllll....

I didn't see my friend at work untill the end of that week on Fri. I
went up and asked him if he got any thank you emails from people about
the VR set.

"Yea" he said "I got so many damn emails about that I had to stop
replying!!" He got something like 30 emails!!! Even though he was a bit
overwhelmed, he was actually very gratious for everyones appreciation!!
:D

That right there shows the power of this thing we call SFRaves...

And thank you so much to everyone who sent my friend Jeff a Thank You
letter!! <<<HUGS>>>  :) <--Note the smiley.

        I will be going to the lovely state of Florida from Dec.28th to
Jan.11th and was wondering what there was to do in the Miami and Keys
areas in the way of trance/techno/jungle/etc.- friendly clubs and upcoming
parties. If anyone out there can send me some info.; I'd really appreciate
it!:). Also, is there a raves mailing list for Florida?

	We're never going to solve this, folks. On the one hand, Phish has
very little to do with the rave scene. Sure lots of phisheads like raving,
and that's cool, but it's also true that a spam of posts about a concert
with no 'NRR' tags on it is going to invite flames.

On the other hand, we'd hate to constrain this list and lose all the
extraneous, but interesting conversations we have about raver
culture..which is much larger than raves themselves. 

My two cents? If you want to see if anyone else is going to the show, then
post a message with NRR in the subject...Perhaps replies should be made in
private and not forwarded to the list. I have nothing against the band
personally, but I think a lot of fans take it personally when someone
flames them. So let's try to view both sides before posting NRR material,
and likewise do the same beofore flaming people for posting info you might
not be interested in.

-peace out-

Actually that is the issue - I think you're completely missing the point,
Matt.  If you want to talk about the effects of language then you should
consider all of them, not just those that satisify some psychological need
to believe in progress or that everything's okay.

Like I said, I'm not aware of a single case of anything like genocide
except among language-bearing humans.  I don't understand your sentence
about domesticated animals, and if I were you I wouldn't be so certain that
anyone would agree without some serious convincing from you (which remains
to be seen).  I'm open to having mind changed...but you'll have to work
harder than this.
>  And language skills are essential to _avoid_ the problems you

Correction:  Language skills MAY help to avoid such problems, though of
course history is replete with examples to the contrary.  And the problems
themselves don't arise in the first place without language and the societal
structures it engenders.  My point isn't that language is all bad...just
that there's much more to it than terms like "advancement" and moving
"higher" suggest.  I doubt whether we should ascribe something like
"progress" to linguistic-conceptual development any more than we do to
phylogenetic development.  There is change, and over time a tendency toward
more complexity.

Nice quote...of course it's about communication, not about the effects of
language on consciousness.  And language is merely one form of
communication among many.

Just wanted to update y'all on the Cabin Music Tapes.

I'm having a friend check for me on Prices for tape duplications (he's 
got 'connections').  So I should have a total price by tomorrow.  

I'll keep you all informed.

So far I've got about 30 orders for tapes.  If there is anybody else in 
SFR land that wants tapes, please send me a Mail letting me know.

peace

-M

        Killer, I got the job I wanted in Oakland. It's supposed to be kinda
hard. 
NO PROB!

        I'll be working full time and going to school, fun fun fun. . . Wish
me luck!

        Now at least, I can fix my truck the way I want it, and I can get my
bike that's been on hold for like 4 months. I'm gonna just ride, snowboard,
and dance my brains out (on the weekends). And I'll actually have
money<----WHOA!!!

        Thanks fer your support, hope I can keep up with the list n all. . . 

        No MAD for me tonight, I don't wanna go to work all dead looking.

SMILE:)

And your 37 line signature that is appended to the bottom of each and every
one of your one-line replies you make to messages does?

Come on! There are nearly 450 people on this list that have to download and
read your HUGE signature from each and every one of your posts!

I found an ad in BAM for tape duplicating. I have no idea if this place is
reasonable or what, but I figured I would throw it out.

Northwestern Incorporated

demo package
-mastering
-on-cassette imprint
-c-30 digital bin pr real time
-duplication on TDK cobalt tape
-norelco clear case

100 - $1.65 each
200 - $1.45 each.

Maybe they can give you a quote on 50? :-)

Oh, come on.  This is getting a bit rediculous.  If you are going to 
flame people for the sig not being Rave Related, you might as well flame 
them for signing their name.  Peoples names have nothing to do with 
Raves.  

People, dont sign your name to your SFR posts anymore, thats not Rave 
Related.

geez.

Is everybody having a good Moday??

oops, sorry, thats not rave related.

[ to sfraves ]

 I just wanted to confirm if Astal Matrix is doing a live set in
Santa Cruz this Thursday ( Dec. 5th ). Will it be at this weekly
event? If so, what's the start/stop times? :

Ascendance - house, techno, trance w/DJs guest DJs weekly.
1133 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. ( "Palookaville" club )
408.429.2330
12.5 - Astral Matrix, Greg, Kamia 

 It might be worth driving over the hills for... and I can do 
some pre-show Christmas shopping too!

[if you don't like this post, flame me _privately_. public flaming will
automatically get you added to my ever-growing kill file.]

ok, folks, let's take a deep breath and look in the virtual mirror.

we're on a mailing list. not everything that's posted to sfraves is stuff
we all want to read.

i, for one, _read_ 90% of mail marked NRR, where as i _delete_ a good 70%
of the stuff that's not, without a second glance. this is not so much
because i prefer reading NRR material, it's because all the stupid fools
(flames invited here;) who post shit i don't want to read always forget to
put NRR in the title...

but i delete a lot of rave-related material too. generally, i hear about
the good parties from my friends, not from sfraves. and i've really grown
tired of reading weekend reviews, with some exceptions. but i don't
begrudge those who want to post this stuff.

there are filtering mechanisms for those who want to avoid some mail.
because of all the fuck-ups :) who don't use "NRR", that one's of little
use, but they still can be helpful. i have filters set up to automatically
trash anything with "overpriced", "gangsta", "coolworld", "massive", or
"adidas" in the subject header, as well as filters for a few individuals
whose names i won't mention.

if you need help with filtering, please ask.

finally, many of our bandwidth/nrr issues could be resolved if we could
please _flame people PRIVATELY_. if anyone on this list actually likes
reading other people's flames, i'd love to hear about it.

so let's all chill out and respect each other, and make this mailing list a
plurrier place for all.

love (even to those i just insulted the hell out of),

brian

Well I'm an Environmental Engineer and so maybe this is something I could 
get into? I could set up a company to dispose of all drug related waste.  
all those Speed and E manufaturers could send me their remains.  You 
could even send me you resin from all the pipes and bongs in Cali.  I 
could even set up a plant here in San Luis Obisbo since the majority of 
the crank labs have been reported to be in this area.  All 
those "lawabiding" lab owners will send me their waste in exchage for a 
cleaner tommorrow.  This might drive up the price of your drugs but 
atleast we won't have hazerdouse chemicals in our groundwater.
Life is good.

Well I'm just playin' but in acctuallity it will never happen.  Its a sad 
thing but bad things happen all the time to the environment.  What about all 
those leagal companies who dump thier waste in the ground, streams, rivers,
 lakes and such with out your knoledge just to save a buck and we all suffer. 
 Maybe some day everyone will realize what we have and we should all take care
 of what we got left.

Most likely it is, in concentrated blasts.   But casinos have been pumping 
oxygen into their gambling for years, and smoking is allowed there.  Many a 
good 36-hour stint was pulled at the tables back in the good ole days of 
college thanks to the oxygen pumps. According to one dealer, they start pumping 
it up around 1 am and continue increasing it until the morning.  

Anyone from Reno on the list, to say how to set up an oxygen system?

       Isn't it funny though that the vibe is sometimes (if not always) 
affected by the non-sober folks? Both in healthy and unhealthy ways.

 Sorry but I don't consider these "non-drugs" just because they are 
legal. If anyone does you should suspect that your brain has been washed.

 Same point here. These are drug bearing plants. Which then I guess leads 
us to the chemical vs. "natrual" drug debate.
 If you talk to most homepaths and nutrtionists they will tell you that 
ANY stimulant is essientially not "good" for you.

 Ryan, I think your intentions are good here but you can't spaek for 
everyone. Each bio-system is unique and can potentially have very 
different reactions then what you (and others) have experienced. The best 
bet (IMO) is to learn to listen to your own body rather than taking the 
advice of others (ravers, doctors, whomever) blindly.

 These methods have worked really well for me also. Don't forget them 
bannanas!!

Cool World is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a Rave Production.
They are are a PARTY Production. They may talk about raves and Peac and
all that, but I do not recomend going to any Cool World PARTY (I
emphasize the party part) unless you enjoy, getting pushed, shoved,
stepped on, talked down to, getting a fist full of bad vibes thrown at
you, spit on, maybe even raped, you bag stolen, them taking away your
glitter, highlighter, water, and anything else that makes a rave not a
rave, because Cool World doesn't through raves they throw parties. And
anyone who saids Otherwise I have onE thing to say to them.

 This is pretty funny knowing of ARYCK's usual anti-drug position. I took 
his post to mean that the party sucked so bad that you would only enjoy 
it if completly gonzoed on whatever. As I recall ARYCK usually decries 
the anti-realness of E. And a lot of his posts are tongue-in-cheek.

hmmm, a bit sensitive and insecure maybe?

 Except here at SFraves whenever someone posts something you don't like. You 
tend to sound a bit shrill rather than trying to discuss issues. (IMO)

It would be nice to see that smile more often.

Why do I rave?
	Over time, the reason has changed as much as I have changed. 
Originally, it was the first really open environment I had found where I
didn't feel pressured to act a certain way and a place where what I did
spoke for itself and wasn't overanalysised. E in that time was a tool I
used to dig into that jar in the back of my head that made me a horrible
person and work through those things - either realizing that the things
were not so bad or that they really were, but I would look at how bad they
made me feel, feel how heavy that imprint was, and realize what was so bad
about it and then be able to "correct" my actions before I get into a
situation or made a decision that I would regret later. Also, I got over
the a of making mistakes that I had had, and realized that they were
inevitable. In essence, I moved from looking at things as "why does this
always happen to me" to "ooops, I fucked up, I will avoid that in the
future". 

	Then I moved to Stirling, Scotland for a while. Along with 
sorting a bunch of shit out there, I found something I had never 
witnessed in SF. Festis and Gabber! Somewhere along the line, raving 
transformed from what I guess people would call a healing experience to 
to an experience of the primitive energies that run through people (well, 
that's my take on it). Once I had gotten to point where I was comfortable 
with myself, raves nicely enough transformed into odd-fests where we 
pushed something further and further. Imagine the grass covered earth 
shaded by conifers, fires burning in little camps spotting the forst 
(this is scotland, you can have fires on the ground and not have to worry 
about the whole forest going up), fire jugglers, fire blowers, people 
painted blue, a procession between the sound systems lead by a piper, a 
snare drummer, and a bass drum... While this was all very silly, it was 
very tribal in a way that I cannot explain. These raves were more about 
taking the energy that gets funneled into aggression, competetiveness, or 
depression and redirecting it to a dance to fast music that pounds into one 
(not all gabber comes from LA or includes samples telling one to fuck off 
or whatever, alot of it is just fast with hard kick drums, and dark). E 
was something I might do because I liked my skin being tingly or I might 
want to go up one of the hills and chat with people - I like the way a 
little mdma can make everything have a little more weight... It was not 
necessary linked with raves.
	Back in SF, I would like to see parties that have that same edge, 
where people push as hard as in Scotland at Sativa. But maybe that has 
something to do with the weather ;)

     Anybody offended by the above, I'd be happy to accept recommendations on

     (you can never tell what's offensive anymore).  All the talk about certain 
     manners of dress and massives and MTV and mounting commercialism has really 
     gotten to me (both sides of the argument have...), so I thought it would be 
     fun to have a massive-stylee announcement for a lunch.  Everybody is 
     invited, I love you all, even if your clothes do cost more than my car.  
     Okay?  Whoever you are, be that person and stay real!!!  Have a great

Hello,

	I just thought I would post this to the list to see if there was any
interest...

	There will be a room opening up in my house most likely on Jan 1st - 5th.
It is a four bedroom house with two full bathrooms. Rent goes for $295/mo.
You would share the electric and water with three very easy going cool
roomies! We are looking for a laid back, super cool person to take over one
room. Please respond personally if you are interested... Thanks 


Peace, love and harmony to all!!!

Greg =)

Well I had a busy saturday evening.  I went to 2 parties that night and I 
kept going from Be Here Now to Tribal Funk and then back again.  I am so 
worn out and it's monday.

I'd have to say that Be Here Now was the better party.  Though i love 
hearing Utopia, Garth, Dan and Tony, the BHN rooms were more fun for me. 

I got to HOME around 11 and wow the place is huge.  I've been to Homebase 
many times but never when they had all the rooms open.  It was so crowded 
around 11 - 1 it was unreal.  Esp in the hallways.  

I'd have to say the lasers in the main room were mind melting.  Fantastic 
display of colors and patterns and with the sheets up in the middle it 
produced a better '3d' effect.  Too many lights though.  The big yellow 
light in the main room and all the "club" style intela lights in the Funk 
room were too much.  
   Favorite dj's - Hyperactive was sick!  And when Dan went on I could 
choose between them.  Dan's set was more hardcore than I've ever heard 
but I got down with a few good dancers for a good half hour before the 
heat got to me.    Mark Farina was good but I wanted to hear faster beats 
so I stayed in the small back room.  I heard some sick euro-techno back 
there but I never got the name of any of the djs.  I even spent some time 
dancing to jungle with Abstract.  I think I'm gonna pick up his tape. :)

DRC got me movin' most of her set.  i just got 1 of her tapes the other 
day and I love the crazy hard edge she has in her sets.  And then there 
was Peter Lazonby (sp?) UK.  He was calm, collected, focused, and played 
what seemed to be a well thought out set.  Slow and mellow at first to a 
bumpin' techno groove that had me still moving at the end of the night. 

  The vibe wasn't there for me in the beginning.  Negative and 
uninviting.  But as the night progressed I found the finer aspects of the 
party and stuck with my instincts.  I had a great time.  Many people did 
in their own way.  Too bad about the taging; the rave gunk got the best 
of my cloths; and there still is a free water shortage at big parties.

I wish I would have known when and were Jonah sharp, Dutch, Concious 
Labs, and Phil Smart were playing.  I wanted to check them but don't 
think I did.  I would love it if promoters would provide a play list with 
you ticket so you would know when and were a performer was spinning.  
Besides WOM how do you expect to know when your favorite dj will be playing?
My ESP doesn't work as well as most peoples' I guess.

Bye for now - off to study for finals 
Hope everyone's Thanksgiving went well!


PLUR,

       Austin

first:
a couple of weeks ago a friend came down to Santa Ana and visited for a
few days.  He left me with a book called "Illusions:  The Adventures of a
Reluctant Messiah".  Sadly, I haven't had time to read it until my lunch
hour today.  Now, at the Cabin, I found myself really tripping out on one
spoken word portion in the ambient stuff, and low and behold, reading
through this book, I find the same passages.  Strange...

second:
I have an interview for a position at Golden Gate University on Thursday
afternoon.  So what does that mean?  Weekend in the city!!  What's the
party of choice for this weekend?  It sure would be nice to spread some
happiness with you all while I have the chance!!  :)

third:
I hope everyone is having a nice start to their week and that everything
is bright and happy all around each and every one of you!  :)  PLUR

AGAIN!!  CALLING IT, RIGHT ON THE NAIL!!!   You sir, are an intelligent, 
conscious human being with some actual smarts in your head!  Very nice to 
see!!  Now if everyone could just think like this, Cool World could be a 
purely GANGSTA party (it's true intention), and we would all be happy!  
The gangstas could go to thier party, and people without guns could go to 
others!!  WOO HOO!!

Happy trails...

P.S.  And I too will tell any who say otherwise onE thing...

true story - i was eating lunch at guadalahara grill in concord
last weekend (great food) and at the table next to me this lady was
telling her friend what her daughter wanted for christmas.
"she doesn't care as long as it's adidas or fila".

the irony was lost on the mom who didn't grow up during the breakdancin 80s.

Well met _LiQuiD_

  I totally agree with you! ***BAD-ASS** music Must come first.
  if the music is right. Nothing can stop you. It's strange. Last night, I
was dancing at my friend Wayne's house, ofcourse, to BAD-ASS music. And
when we went outside to fire it up, Wayne says to me "You know Jeff. See if
they would of played more bad-ass music like that last night. You would of
been dancing like you were just now. Then you wouldn't be tripping off all
that negative shit people were filling you with all night"
  The music defonetly gives you more energy than any drug.


I think I may be of service in the herbal department though..  =]:..
Hey! I didn't say I was a sober ravEr or nothing!


You can get yourself a bottle of Rip Fuel at any GNC store.  That will Zoom
you for a few good Dj sets or so. I took two my first time, and... 
Weeeeee.........
 Weight trainers take it before working out.

 But now. There is a new bottle on that shelf. Also GNC. It's called
Thermadreen (Not sure of the spelling. Just ask for ther-ma-dreen. Energy
sup). This will defonetely get yea going! But I think it works with body
fat or something though, becouse I don't really get off much on it. But
Wayne (He works out, and stays in shape) He can cut down a full grown pine
tree in one day when he takes off on that stuff. And my friend Tim (He is
huge, and full of body fat. He is always on the stuff) He can make a ravE
dance circle, 20 yards wide in 6.4 seconds! The only place Tim ever gets
lonely is in the moshing pit at a Verbal Abuse concert. But don't take my
word for it. If you want to try something legal, that don't clog up your
head. Go down to GNC.
 
Hope you like um.
Jeff

<< Cool World is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a Rave Production.
 They are are a PARTY Production. They may talk about raves and Peac and
 all that, but I do not recomend going to any Cool World PARTY (I
 emphasize the party part) unless you enjoy, getting pushed, shoved,
 stepped on, talked down to, getting a fist full of bad vibes thrown at
 you, spit on, maybe even raped, you bag stolen, them taking away your
 glitter, highlighter, water, and anything else that makes a rave not a
 rave, because Cool World doesn't through raves they throw parties. And
 anyone who saids Otherwise I have onE thing to say to them.
 
 PLURF
 Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, Fuck You!
 -Paul
 P.S. Good Vibes and Love To All!
  >>
Dude, dont spread shit like that around! Rape, Fuck you. thats not cool.( no
pun intended) I have never gone to one of their big productions, but I can
assure that what you say is not true. This happenes every time,. people diss
them people diss Martin, people diss people for clothes whatever.... nobody
can change that, but dont say harsh words when you can't back them up with
the truth. 
Peace,
Jonathan

P.S. how can you even expect people to take you seriously with PLURF
Peace, Love, Unity, respect, and Fuck you??? You are confused my friend.

Yes, I'd love to read this paper.

Why I rave, personally, is a multi-level question, as you are well aware.
To me the rave scene [and also the underground club scene which is
inextricably entwined (I know I will get flamed for that)] is about art.
The DJs, the lighting designers, the flyers and, above all, the people, are
all individual folk artists who come together to make this modern
performance piece.  I love to go to an event early and watch the whole
thing go by.  As the whole energy picks up and peaks and dies down.  It is
such an AWESOME spectacle, which I feel is unparalled in our modern
culture.  When a good event comes together and "pops", meaning the music
and people and vibe reach that pitch that is tangible and indescribable all
at the same time, but you know when it is happening, these are truly
epiphinaic moments for me when I gain insight into myself and my relation
to the universe.  This is the truly underapreciated side of the scene and
what I love about it most.

But also, I come for the sense of fun, elation, escape.  To be someone I am
not during the rest of the week.  I lose a lot of inhibitions when I am out
dancing and having fun.  I have no hesitation going up to people and just
starting conversations [with or without E :)]. I love creating costumes and
seeing other creative people in strange, wonderful, frightening, and/or
cool get-ups.

And then there is just plain old dancing.  That innate human desire to
fling your body about to the beat of drums and melodic strains.  What a
great stress releiver!!

that's a start, at least.  good luck on your paper

Your post defonently opens some eyes, I am sure.

  But if I am going to go ride my bike in the park to "have a great time"
and enjoy things around me. And what it means to me, to be alive. If
somebody in that park keeps throwing sticks in my spokes. It don't matter
how I approched my day. I will be pissed. And I don't concider a negative
pissed off attitude, a good time.
  Anyone thats thinks that Addidas clothing is a gangsta thing. You need to
either goto LA, or stop admiring that all beatin up red tagged jail bird
gangsta, in that movie COLORS.
  Addidas was a Break Dancing thing first off. I had just about every color
addidas sweat jacket on the market in 1983. My purple one was my favorite.
  Hello. Get a clue. Gangsta's wear Raiders jackets, and tatoo there names
on the back of there necks. Duh...   }:\

  And I wouldn't blame anyone for getting sick of my complaints. But people
that whine about the mear apperance of a fellow ravEr. You ain't seen
nothing! You ever been (by a total stranger to you), had rumors spread
about you? Been called an asshole? Or a loser, tweek, or dick? How about
"Hey man. Why don't you get out of our scene"? at a ravE!! By friendly
smiling ravEr people...  "Yea right!"  And these are people I have never
talked to! The only thing they could possibly know about me....  Is that I
am not like them. I am different..... Get that. The only person shastized
for being different at a ravE. Sad, sad, sad.
  But! I still go smiling, and in love with everyone around me. Becouse I
can feel how forgiving ravErs can be. And nobody is at fualt here. People
don't feel comfertable around people they don't understand. I know if each
and everyone of them, knew how I was inside. If I didn't have so much walls
blocking there path to understanding. They would all turn around, and
welcome me for who I am. Seriously!


Just thought I would take this opportunity to vent.  =]:..
Jeff

: And disses people who don't seem to be cool enough.

: too?
: 
: Clothes don't make the person, the *person* does. At the risk of quoting

: I've been in a "shitty space filled with a bunch of "A***** wearin

: mood, it's your attitude. I mean you can be on DRUGS in a bad scene and 
: have an even WORSE time. It's all in how you approach the whole night. 
: If you go into a huge place with bad vibes you can say (soberly *or* 
: high) "this sucks, I'm gonna have a shitty time, this fucking sucks! I'm 
: gonna pop a few pills/tabs" and bitch and moan about it all night and 
: have a bad time, or you can say "yea, the vibe's pretty nasty here, but 
: i think i can pretty much ignore it and appreciate the music and 
: whatever positive people there are around me" and have a not-so-bad if 
: not great time. I heard alot of people saying "yea the vibe was shitty 
: at _be here now_ but i had a GREAT time." It's all in the attitude, it's

	For the book, I was simply telling that person that their
	PHISH stuff shouldn't be posted on sfRAVES w/out NRR...
	just like all the other people screamed @ me too when
	I asked a question not rave related.

	There NEVER would have a been a problem if people would
	just post Rave Related stuff on SFRAVES.

	So please just relax, and lets drop this STOOPID phish thing.
	I hate phish!!!!!  Not to mention, living in S.C. w/  90%
	of the phish followers does get to ones TECHNO craving heart.

Because it's not strictly true?  "Advanced", in this context, is an
entirely subjective term, so we can define ourselves to be either the
most advanced, the least advanced, or anywhere in between.  And the more
research I do into various social animals (chimpanzees, ravens, wolves,
etc.), the less I believe that we dominate even the traditional measures
of advancement (symbolic language, tool usage, complexity of
interaction, and so on).

In fact, the average human, from a biological perspective, leads a
stunningly featureless life of work->TV->sleep->repeat, with occasional
hunting for mates thrown in.  The fact that this average human uses a
lot of very complex technology to do so isn't interesting from a
sociobiological standpoint, as they had no hand in creating it and do
not understand it in the least.  A human driving a car is no more
intrinsically impressive than a seagull dropping a shell on the road so
that the same car will crack it open and let her eat the contents.

	I agree that sticks in your spokes could be annoying, and piss you off, 
but at a party, no matter what shit is talked, can't you just ignore it 
and LOSE yourself into the MUSIC, and dance your ass off?
	I know that when someone says something about you, because you're 
wearing this type of clothing or that, it's pretty fucking annoying. But 
why do you let it bother you, when you know these people are SHALLOW 
enough to even judge you based on what shirt you decided to wear that 
night? Their judgement should mean nothing to you, and you should be 
able to go on and keep dancing. It's hard, yea, and sometimes the sticks 
stop you.. And MASS props to you Jeff, for keeping yourself REAL.
	But HONESTLY, what can DRUGS do to get rid of the spokes? You could get 
high enough to pretend that the stick isn't there, but if it's so bad 
that you have to take drugs to get rid of the stick, the stick must be 
so big you can't even ride your bike.... Ya still with me on this 
analogy? I guess what I'm trying to say is that yea, there's gonna be 
people talkin shit and trying to ruin the vibe sometimes, but the night 
is what you make of it, not what drugs you take. Everyone has their 
choice whether or not to do E, I do it sometimes and sometimes I don't 
but I don't let other people's attitudes decide whether or not I'm gonna 
do drugs, I let myself decide it. 
But then again, that's just me...
Smiles,
LAra..

p.s. Madame Mercury, you will be MISSED gurl! *hugz*

[more snippage]

don't ya just love it when someone screams at you to (be mellow, feel the 
vibe, respect one another, insert your own euphimism here) and then 
expects your respect and understanding? Sorta like being the victum in an 
abusive relationship.
 It's especially encouraging when they take a provcative, aggressive and 
hostile tone and then don't wish to engage in a dialogue about the 
situation. Strikes me as insecure or deliberate muck-raking.

 On the other hand the association of what one wear's as to one's 
general "coolness" factor _is_ sloppy thinking. This is displayed by the 
"gangsta's" and the people that decry them.


peace y'all

Hi all!  =)

 Yes I know this is the second time on the list; I'm trying to catch all 
those who unsubscribed on turkey weekend. ;)

 I could use a ride from Santa Cruz to SF on friday for Mantra. I'm just 
bringing slides and lighting so there is not a whole lot of stuff. ;) I 
would like to leave around noon or so although this is negotionable. 

 Ideally a ride back would be ideal but I do have a way back if neccesary.
Gas, of course, will be covered and driver need not be concerned with any 
physical labor (although help is never refused ;).

 I can be reached here or called at the number below.

Thanks!!!!!  =)

The Grateful Dead certainly did.   I got into raving because the Dead got me
hooked on dancing.
Deadheads and ravers have a lot in common too.

Sorry about gettin so pissed of about COOL WORLD.
Didn't mean to be so mean, but i meant what i said earlier. And i don't
beleive that people get raped at every cool world. But i do know that my
friend knows a girl who got rapped by a bunch of gangas on E. As far as
all the other stuff. I can back it up any day because it happened to me.
As far as COOL WORLD as a production group, I don't know why this happens
at their parties. It just does. Maybe it is because their flyers are
magazines and are passed out at School, Malls (ie: Valley Fair,
Serramonte), And I even saw one on the ground oustide a Safeway. Now
raves are supposed to be an underground thing. They aren't anymore, but
we are suppose to try to keep it as low key as possible. That means small
flyers that don't attract the attention of people who don't understand
how to act at a rave such as Clubbers, Gangstas, Bad Vibes, whatever
people who don't know what a rave is truly about. PLUR not drugs, not
music, not Sex on E. It may not be very PLURish to say those things about
COOL WORLD, but i am only looking out for other ravers who have never
been to a COOL WORLD and may be planning to go to it this New Years. I
suggest going to one of the many other New Years raves. Lets leave COOL
WORLD to the Clubbers, Gangstas, Bad Vibes.  Don't go to a COOL WORLD,
its not worht the money.

PLUR,
Paul

P.S. For heavens sakes people, think about it. Angelina and Rough Neck
are preforming live their! They play their songs on WILD 107.7!

I don't know if it was mentioned at all, for my e-mail acct was not
receiving jack this weekend, but this last Friday has got to be one of the
most crazy daisy fuct things ever. 

Me and my friend hitchiked down to SF, it took us two hours than it
normally takes (a smaking seven hours, with another hitchiker's smelly dog
on my lap- not that this was bad b/c the dog was cute, but it just adds to
my complaining effect). We arrive in SF; we were going to meet his friend
staying in Modesto in Sac to go to Ubiquitous, but we find it is now in
SF. So his friend drives out to SF (and it is her first party, by the way,
and my friend can count the number of parties he's been to on his fingers,
he says).

The normal delays, we don't get to the venue until 12. Long line. We wait.
We wait. All hell breaks loose and the line is no longer a line but a
lateral lump of people holding their tickets in the air wanting to bust
past the security (the guy behind me pushing against the mass of people
saying 'you gotta take a risk, you gotta take a risk' repeatedly). What
the fuck? It's shutting down at 2?! 

"Are the cops gonna conveniently show up?" I say. Heh, heh, famous first
words.

So we go around to the side chill locale and beg mercy to the security
guy, and he lets us in b/c there's only a half hour left. We sprint in,
dance like crazy for the shortest duration that I have ever -paid- for. 
This is like the third or fourth time that my friend has had a shitty time
with SF parties, and I've been trying to convince him that SF has some
good to it. I had had a bad feeling about that party but it was supposed
to be free so he wanted to go, plus there would be no financial risk for
his friend if it flopped.

We stayed the night at his friend's cousin's house, ate lunch, and then
decided it wasn't worth it to try to go to another party. So we drove
home.

Just thought I'd post that my Company has some Tech Support/Engineering
jobs open. For more info check out...   ( www.insignia.com/hr/jobs.html#ts
)

It's not listed there, but we are looking for Tech engineers for Mac also.

If you don't have access to the web just let me know and I can email you
the info. The company is in Santa Clara. This company treats it's people
really good too. In fact sometimes too good. I guess that's why I like
working here. They notice you when you do good. It would take a BIG pay
increase to leave here. Everyone I work with are really great too.


Anyway, just thought I'd post it here so maybe a fellow 'raver' can get a
job if they want.  If you want to know more just ask.

o Don't eat a large meal before you rave.
o Take a "disco nap" betwen 8 pm and 11 pm before you go out
o And the most important thing is to get plenty of aerobic exercise and
  avoid animal products in your diet, many long term ravers are veggies and i think its for
  that reason, the less meat you eat the less uric and lactic acid (the things that trigger
  that tired feeling) build up you will have.

Good Luck on your interview!

While I have had my share of ExperiencEs, The majority of the parties that I have attended over
the past year or so I attended completely sober, even "back in tha day", Aerobics and a veggie diet
will beat Meth any day.

John, I really wish you would get off this "everyone is a racist" crap.
"Gangsta" is about attitude, not color.

And I do wish that many of you white males would stop using code words to 
indetify people of color.  Enough of the veiled racist bullshit that has 
invaded this list.

Enough of the not-so-veiled racism.  Enough of the "non-pc" ways of 
categorizing people just becuase you can.

Enough of you not understanding other peoples feelings.  

Enough indeed.

Late,
John

How about if we just stop talking about gangstas all together. What
happened to PLUR? Even if somebody is different they should be accepted by
the rave scene, shouldn't they. Have you ever considered that maybe the
gangstas are trying to make a change in their lives by going to raves? So
what if they still walk around looking like criminals, they still
contribute to the diversity that makes raves what they are today. I think
everybody should take a nice long 420 break and loosen up!

I was going through my desk at work and realized we are having a Company

campus from 7pm-midnight. Grilled fillet minion, grilled samon, grilled
portabella mushrooms for the main course. I don't have a thing to wear or
even a date to take. Why did I say I would go let alone plus one guest.
Business/Semi-formal Attire is not even in my wardrobe. Now I'm going to
have to buy some clothes, I guess that might be a good thing though.

 I was planning on maybe checking out Lepidoptera after my company party.
What is everyone else doing friday night????

>From the front page of this mornings chronicle.

>>>>
A counterattack against California's controversial ``medical marijuana''
law began on Capitol Hill
          yesterday, with lawmakers calling for stepped-up enforcement
of federal drug statutes to blunt the
          impact of the ballot measure. 

          A U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the law opened on
the eve of a meeting today in
          Sacramento of state Department of Justice agents, county
district attorneys, county sheriffs and
          municipal police to devise strategies for prosecuting
marijuana growers. 

          ``Candidly, we don't know what our options are right now,''
said Steve Telliano, a spokesman for
          Attorney General Dan Lungren, who called the meeting. ``The
law is so open-ended and vague,
          there are so few specifics, that police and prosecutors are
genuinely confused. Anything appears to
          be possible, but we won't have an idea of where we stand until
(the conclusion of the summit).'' 

          At the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington
yesterday, lawmakers vowed to watch the
          impact of California's medical marijuana initiative -- as well
as a similar ballot measure passed in
          Arizona -- calling them a first step in a well-orchestrated,
well-funded plan to legalize drugs in
          America. 

          ``We can't let this go without a response,'' Senator Orrin
Hatch, R-Utah, declared. 

          Senator Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., charged that Arizona voters had been
hoodwinked into supporting his
          state's measure by deceptive advertising, and he asked the
federal Drug Enforcement Administration
          to accelerate anti-drug efforts there. 

          ``I believe most of them (voters) were deceived and
deliberately so by the sponsors of this
          proposition,'' Kyl said. ``(The ballot measure) begins a road
to destruction of people's lives in this
          country.'' 

          In California, law-enforcement officials meeting today will
try to develop strategies that specifically
          address Proposition 215's vague cultivation clauses. 

          The initiative states that the seriously ill or their primary
caregivers may cultivate marijuana for the
          patient's personal use. But the term ``primary caregiver'' is
not defined, nor is the amount of pot
          specified that may be legally grown. 

          ``Everyone is up in the air about this,'' said Ed Denson,
director of the Civil Liberties Monitoring
          Project, a Humboldt County organization that keeps tabs on
police actions against local marijuana
          growers. ``There's so much about the initiative that nobody
understands. How many plants can
          patients grow? Who or what is a caregiver? Can you hire
somebody to grow for you? Can there be
          communal gardens? Nobody has the faintest idea.'' 

          Denson said it would be extremely difficult for law
enforcement agents to determine the difference
          between legal and illegal marijuana plots under Proposition
215's language. 

          RAIDING THE GARDENS 

          ``I assume that they'll continue to raid very large gardens
that they see from the air, ones that
          obviously exceed reasonable limits of the `personal use'
provisions,'' said Denson. ``But what
          happens when they come across small gardens? Especially ones
that have signs on them identifying
          them as medical marijuana?'' 

          Even Proposition 215's advocates have found themselves in two
philosophical camps about
          marijuana cultivation. 

          Dennis Peron, the co-writer of Proposition 215 and director of
a San Francisco marijuana buyer's
          club that was raided by state agents August 4, said the
passage of the initiative would generally
          ``loosen the bonds'' for pot cultivators. 

          ``You're going to see more pot and cheaper pot around,'' said
Peron. ``I suspect more people will
          grow it, for either medical (or recreational) use. What the
passage (of 215) shows is that the people
          of California want a change in legal priorities -- they're
saying armed robbery and drive-by shootings
          deserve more attention than somebody smoking a joint.'' 

          But Bill Zimmerman, campaign manager for California for
Medical Rights, the lead promotional
          organization for Proposition 215, strongly disagrees. 

          NARROW INTERPRETATION 

          ``The voters who approved Proposition 215 were not voting to
liberalize laws on the recreational
          use of marijuana,'' said Zimmerman. ``They were voting to
ensure that legitimate medical patients
          with legitimate recommendations from legitimate physicians
would have access to medical marijuana.
          We think the proposition should be interpreted narrowly to
benefit patients and only patients.'' 

          Zimmerman warned that an unregulated boom in pot cultivation
could harm the medical marijuana
          movement. 

          ``The people could take away in 1998 what they gave in 1996,''
said Zimmerman. ``If Proposition
          215 is ultimately perceived as leading to a substantial
increase in recreational marijuana smoking and
          cultivation, we could very easily see the passage of an
initiative that overturns the decriminalization of
          medical marijuana.''

Yeah, but it is perfectly acceptable to talk shit about all us evil "white
males," huh? Who is categorizing whom? 

> Enough of you not understanding other peoples feelings.  

Look in the mirror John.

A while back, I believe Larry Ching went to the trouble and did a little
survey about the use of the word "gangsta" to describe certain
individuals. The results confirmed my understanding and use of the word:
"gangsta" is about attitude and not color. 

It is only a color issue because you wish it to be one.  


                                 Just another white male
				 (and it is PC to bash us
				  so go for it!)

MHg, please don't go! I know it gets weird when people on the list
get picky about NRR and ganstas and adidas and stuff, but we're still
a big family even though we get into ridiculous squabbles about nothing. 
I didn't think it was unreasonable to ask for an NRR when posting about 
phish, so what's the big deal!? 

Hope you'll stay - I actually LIKED your cool high-bandwidth signature!

I think if you read what plur@juno.com wrote, you might consider taking 
your foot out of your mouth:

>"And i don't beleive that people get raped at every cool world. But i do know 
that my
>friend knows a girl who got raped by a bunch of gangas on E. As far as
>all the other stuff. I can back it up any day because it happened to me..."

Fist off, you (Jon"dabomb") have never even *been* to one of thier 
"parties," so where do you get off spouting off such strong opinions?  
Maybe you should get some actual *facts* to back up your mindless, 
uninformed  blabbering, huh?   I, nor others cannot see one single hint 
of a reason to defend them (Cool World) in any way - why do you?   
Everything that has been said against them is true and then some.
*Think before you speak*, and avoid unsightly, foot-in-mouth moments - 
for your own good and others.
On a final note, I again quote the wise, and informed words of 
plur@juno.com:

>P.S. For heavens sakes people, think about it. Angelina and Rough Neck
>are preforming live their! They play their songs on WILD 107.7!

Anybody that has a 107.7 preset on any piece of stereo equipment need not 
reply or comment!!!!!   Immediately disqualified!  :-)

Hello,

It looks as if I'll be spinning @ a small house/techno/ravish party in
the Oakland Hills area on Friday.  Since it is in a semi-residential
district, it looks as if it will go on till midnite-ish or so.  Methinks
that Ill be @ __Lepidoptera__ for that after party thing (granted it
might be a bit funny watching me boogie my crippled butt to techno). 

__Karma__ looks like the thing to do on Saturday.

C-U in the void,
Adam

 Sorry to have said anything, I mean everyone knows all that i say is usually
 mindless blabbering! And as for the "where do I get off spouting off such
 strong opinions?" 
 Wait a sec. Your message really angered me so I can't really reply without
 some sort of negativity so as to prevent some huge long thread from starting
 Im just going to accept whatever it is that you where trying to tell me and
 leave it at that.
 Oh and somebody told me Voltaire said" I may not agree with what you are
 saying but I will fight to my death to protect your right to say it!!" I can
 think of nothing more fitting for Sfraves than that!
 Peace,
 Jonathan

mindless blabbering! And as for the "where do I get off spouting off such
strong opinions?" 
Wait a sec. Your message really angered me so I can't really reply without
some sort of negativity so as to prevent some huge long thread from starting
Im just going to accept whatever it is that you where trying to tell me and
leave it at that.
Oh and somebody told me Voltaire said" I may not agree with what you are
saying but I will fight to my death to protect your right to say it!!" I can
think of nothing more fitting for Sfraves than that!

          I think one of the main reasons people find themselves sick
          after parties is sharing water. I know I always share my
          water with anyone around. :) And it only takes one person
          who has a cold, and doesn't have water, to infect a whole

Sir,

as much as you would have liked me to, I did NOt categorize all white 
males.  I said many white males on this list.  Many is not ALL.  Please 
re-read.  Then we can re-read the archives to see where allt his gangstah 
talk started.  I gurantee  it was not started by either Geoff or I (from 
what I know the ONLY two black males on this hokey-doke anyway).  I would 
also like to point out that this cetgorization has been leveled against 
people of color for all types of reasons.  I think your dad is an ex-cop, 
ask him how people were categorized for easy pick-up and removal.

In any case, I am categorizing the behaviour of many on this list as 
completely reprehensible and racist.  Sorry, but I like to call a spade 
a spade.  You and others would like to mask this truth by saying that 
such speech is to categorize behvaiour and not color.  Really?  And so 
plkease, educate me and others, who may  know some real gangstahs, what 
does a gangstah act like?  What is gangstah attitude?  Have you ever met 
a gangstah (traditional)?  What has been your interaction with such 
people and how did THEY get into OUR little scene?

It is only a color issue becuase it  has always been a color issue.

I will not cry for your whiteness, nor will I bash you for it.  But if 
you do like to use the term gangstah so much, I just might lable you a 
racist.  But then, white males have been labelling things for centuries.  
Let's all get in the game.

;<  this conversation sux.

So does the rampant racism on this list.  I have also understood the 
sexsim to be out of control as well.  But I can only fight one dumb 
battle at a time.  I will let my sisters do the other dirty tasks, and 
give them my 100% support.

This town needs a hihg colonic.

Out,
John

Funny how when I mentioned that "..many of you white males" used 
derrogatory code words to describe people, you were offended.  Why?  I 
mean, the list is predominantly white and male.  I of course do not 
resort to code words to describe who I am talking about, but that is not 
the point.  

The point is many on this list use the words of division to describe 
those people who are differnt than they.  We use the terms us and them, 
at first.  Then it just degrades from that point into devisive name 
calling, caode words, nonsense.

>From our history together, as party goers/ravers/list history we know 
what words will get a response.  We KNOW that we have gone round after 
round about the word gangstah, to the point where people try to re-define 
it as attitude moreso than a particular look or color.  I guess one must 
consider, before using such speech, where the words originate from 
(vocally).  Example; I as an African-American male can be in the compnay 
of my bretheren (i.e. other blakc males), and use the term n****r w/o 
fear of reprisal (pretty much).  But if I were a white male, would the 
same rules apply.  If I am a gay male and am talking to my brtheren (i.e 
other gay males), and say "Shit, I am not going to that damn party, I'm 
sick of all those f*gs."  is it the same as if I were a straight male and 
say the same words?

And that is what I mean.  Just because YOU have redfined a term does not 
mean that it has any less impact in the real world.  And in certain 
neighborhoods, talkin all that gangstah stuff will get your ass kicked.  
Just for talking noise.  I would love to drop Adder off into a veryu, 
very rough place, and have him describe to real hoodz what the term 
gangstah meant to him.  It would be like me going to Widowee, MS to 
explain my bi-racial son and present Caucasian girlfriend.  In other 
words, many aren't hearing it.

I try to be careful about people's feelings.  SOmething that has gone out 
of style.  Being PC is a very bad thing (next time LOOK at who says PC is 
a bad thing...) to many people.  To me such arguments are just arguments 
to be rude, impolite, and insensitive to others.  In the real world, 
such insensitivity can get you killed..  Or at least hurt.

I think we all should watch what we say.  I think we all should care 
about how our message is perceived.  I think we all should be sensitive 
to the likes and dislikes of others.  I think we all should try to avoid 
conflict where possible, but if it is not possible to agree to disagree, 
and strive to be respectful of each others boundaries.

Calling people names is not the answer.  For every gangstah, I will show 
you a good for nothing bridge-and-tunnel fuck.  For every nigger, a 
redneck chickshit whitebread motherfucker.  For every babe, betty, bitch, 
a stoopid hunk, dumb jock, plain dog.

When will we gorw up and stop the madness.  When can we start to realte 
to each other instead of labelling.  When will we ever celibrate the 
diversity of life, versus the current cultural war for everyone to be 
assimilated into one massive glob of, er "culture".

When will many of you, in your PLURist leanings an beliefs start to buck 
up when someone slams someone else for being different.  What is PLUR w/o 
practice and purpose.

Look, I have been to more parties than lany on this list.  I have partied 
for years and friggin years on end.  Parties were alot more fun back in 
the day when it was new, and relatively not part of the mass culture 
(which dance culture now is).  Parties used to have all kinds of 
motherfuckers in 'em.  Gay goyz w/o shirts, straight men chasing skirts, 
young girls on the move, other ladies cathchin' a groove, Gay women in 
effect, others didn't have lables yet, we all danced in fun, usually long 
after the setting sun.

Let's now get our headz out of the collective toilet.  There is no more 
room for bigotry or hatred here or anywhere else.  Stop the madness.

It starts with you.

Out & Audi from this name calling,
John

Ok, I've been sucked (or, er, suckered?) into this debate. 

What is wrong with Wyld 107?  What is wrong about the inevitable merging
with hip hop and dance (in which we call hi-energy).  This hoods, and
gansta stuff is really amusing, but at the same time disheartening.....
The sad truth is that we (i.e. people) DO look at face value, we DO
prejudge and make assumptions.  The difference is that some of us
realize this, and try to overcome.  Others just spout off, categorize,
and label.  Who's "Cool" and "Uncool"...  
I've ran with people who my "friends" disagree with, but the people I
run with @ that time are my "friends" as well.  I've hung with
skinheads, b-boys, rastas, and computer geeks.  Wandered the streets of
Haight one hour and "blunting" in EPA the next, dropping by Cupertino
and engaging in a net version of Marathon for 3 more hours, stopping by
@ Hayward kickin' it at an illegal "drag" and watching CRX's racing
against Nissans and ending up @ a rave by 12:15AM.   

Because I choose to associate with these kinds of people makes me
them... 
No.
Because I don't see people as skinheads, gangstas,nerds whatever...
I see them as people.
All I can do is hope that, "more people of the world can be like that."

So John, what you are saying is that the only people on this list
qualified to speak on the subject of "gangstahs" and not be racist are
yourself or Geoff?

In this thread, or all the recent discusssion about "ganstahs" who,
besides yourself has mentioned color in any of their comments?

No, what you are doing is attempting to silence a wide group of people by
accusing them of racism, where none exists.

Yes.

Does being jumped by 10 people displaying colors count? As far as their
attitudes displayed, I think the comments mentioned in Larry's survey
pretty much sum it up.

Odd, Larry's informal survey did not show this. Perhaps you are out of
touch with the context with which the term is used on this list.

I am ambivalant about the term, because it is not a racist term. *YOU*
have taken it as such.

So what's this about not bashing people for their whiteness?

You may label me a racist John, but who has made this a racial issue when 
their was never any mention of color? Who has made comments about a group
of people based on their color? 

Just you John, just you.

Dear SFRavefriends,

	I feel Lara's right that it's attitude, not clothing -- that's why
I try to avoid making negative judgements about people because of their
dress styles when I post. But at the same time, it needs to be said that
there can be a strong correlation between dress and behavior.  For
example, do you think a party is really going to go off if everyone has on
3-piece suits and cocktail dresses?
	I think the reason people often post about stuff like Adidas is
because this is something visible that they can point to.  Attitude and
vibe can be hard things to convey.  If someone just says that the vibe at
a party was bad, it's not as descriptive or informative as if they mention
what many people were wearing, especially if they think this contributed
to the negative energy, or that the dress style in question is frequently
associated with parties lacking vibe and that readers will understand
this.
	Admittedly it's a fine line between telling it like it is and
being needlessly judgemental and negative about other people yourself.
But I think it's useful to have as much info about an event as possible,
and if people dip into the realm of stereotyping from time to time, I
think nevertheless we can all differentiate between fact and opinion in
these posts and make up our minds for ourselves.

My computer tells me that on Sat, 1 Jun 1996, ess kay three shared:

I have been reading on this subject for a while and now I am pissed off.
 First off...ther e are some of us who have been partying for just as long
now and I am white but I don't care.  When you start saying white males...you
are categorizing...right?  Then why must you talk so much shit about
grouping....I am the least rascist person you will meet.   What I don't
understand is why is this all being called false..Don't people in terms group
themselves???Don't you remember high school?  Of course there is a reason for
everything but what I don't understand is why criticisize on the wrongdoings
of others when you jump in the boat yourself?

Scientists Stumble Onto Potential New Class of Drugs
           
 
            Researchers searching for a compound that could block the
            addictive effects of cocaine may have overturned an unwritten
            law of neurological drug design. For many years, scientists have
            assumed that drugs designed to target the brain have to contain
            nitrogen, because almost all molecules known to transmit
            signals between brain cells contain the element. Now
            neuroscientist Bertha Madras of Harvard Medical School in
            Boston and synthetic chemist Peter Meltzer of Organix Inc. in
            Woburn, Massachusetts, and their colleagues have found that
            compounds in which the traditional nitrogen is replaced with
            oxygen can bind to the same brain receptors as does
            cocaine--and the nitrogen-based prescription drugs Ritalin
            and Prozac, prescribed for hyperactivity and depression.

            The work, described in the December issue of Synapse, not only
            broadens the possibilities for finding new compounds effective
            in the brain, says Madras, but it may also help scientists better
            understand how neurotransmitters--the compounds that carry
            brain signals--bind to their targets. According to Ivy Caroll, a
            medicinal chemist at Research Triangle Institute in North
            Carolina, the finding suggests that combinatorial
            chemists--who assay thousands of compounds at once looking
            for useful drugs--should "take another look at
            non-nitrogen-containing compounds."

            Madras and Meltzer happened on their discovery while trying
            to design a compound that would bind to brain molecules called
            transporters, which absorb and recycle neurotransmitters like
            dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Cocaine binds tightly
            to the dopamine transporter, blocking the reuptake of dopamine
            and enhancing the signals it sends. A compound that bound
            more loosely, they thought, might prevent cocaine from
            blocking the transporter but still allow it to take up dopamine.
            And because the positive electric charge that nitrogen bears
            was thought to be crucial to tight binding, Madras and Meltzer
            decided to try oxygen-containing compounds. To their surprise,
            however, they found in test-tube experiments that some of
            their "nonamines" blocked the transporter even more strongly
            than did nitrogen-based counterparts.

            The finding means that the compounds won't help against
            cocaine addiction. But it may reveal a new mechanism by
            which compounds bind to neurotransmitter receptors, says
            Caroll. And it suggests, says Madras, that a whole realm of
            brain chemistry, including new classes of oxygen-containing
            neurotransmitters, may be awaiting discovery.

A Chink in the Brain's Defenses
            The blood-brain barrier, a bastion against harmful chemicals
            and microbes, may be a lot more permeable than researchers
            have thought. Scientists have found that in mice, at least, the
            barrier weakens during emotional stress.

            The blood-brain barrier is a layer of tightly packed endothelial
            cells and connective cells called astrocytes that strictly regulates
            the flow of chemicals in and out of the brain. Researchers at
            Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Israeli Defense Force's
            Medical Corps have found that a variety of chemicals penetrate
            the mouse blood-brain barrier much more readily when the
            mice are forced to tread water, a condition that induces stress.
            For instance, Evan's blue, a dye that stains the cellular protein
            albumin, penetrates the brain 10 times more efficiently in
            stressed mice than in unstressed mice. According to the report,
            in the December issue of Nature Medicine, increased blood flow
            in the stressed mice would account for only a fraction of the
            increase in permeability.

            "It's intriguing," says Rajesh Kalaria, a neurologist at Case
            Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Scientists have noted
            that the blood-brain barrier is weakened in some diseases such
            as epilepsy or in cases of dementia, he says, but the stress
            findings are novel.

            The study was spurred by findings in Gulf War veterans
            suggesting that they had suffered short-term neurological
            problems, such as insomnia and nervousness, after taking the
            anti-nerve-gas agent pyridostigmine. According to Hermona
            Soreq, the head of Hebrew University's Institute of Life
            Sciences and a study author, the mouse studies show that
            "Pyridostigmine penetrates the brain rather effectively under
            stress conditions." But Soreq says that the study was not aimed
            at probing the nature of Gulf War syndrome.

            The findings raise questions about the proper dosage of drugs
            that target the brain. "When you're under stress, drugs can
            have greater potency," says Kalaria. Stress, he says, "may
            compound the effect" of psychoactive drugs.

	Why am I getting involved in this?  I have no idea - probably bored
and work and maybe feeling quilty that I call some people gangsters...

	The post that started all of this (I don't know who wrote it)
>>> > fun at a party in a shitty space filled with a bunch of A***** wearing
>>> > gangstas :)

was just a joke (at least I think).  There is a :) at the end - people
cheer up, don't take stuff too seriously :P.

	So, here is a little background - I grew up in Croatia, where there
is only one race.  The very, very few non Caucasian people that are there
are African students (very rare), Asians are even smaller minority, and
basketball players that end up at Student Olympics :).  But we have
gangsters as well (maybe we just picked up a word and gave it a different
meaning) and none of them are black.  So, for me a word gangster has
nothing to do with race.  John, I feel bad that that's the way you feel
about it, because I know more people who are my friends who refer to
gangsters as Larry described it.  And most of those people are white :).

	So, my point is that the word is very relative, and it can have
different meanings to different people.  It is too bad that the word gets
some people upset (it has never, ever been my intention to classify it as a
racist word), while others use it as a description of somebody's style.
There are a lot of women that get upset when they are called girls or
chicks, and maybe because I am not an American (English is not my first
language) I use those words more than word women.  I don't feel like it has
any bad meaning in it, but sometimes some "women" look at me like I
shouldn't be saying that.  Sometimes I try to explain myself, but sometimes
there is no hope and I am classified and anti-feminist, should-be-a-male
blah, blah, blah...

	Maybe all of us should try to look at words (phrases etc.) from
different prospective and realize why people choose to use them, rather
than getting in flame wars.  Understanding each other is what will make us
grow stronger and become better people so why don't we give it a shot.  I
know I am willing to try.  Practising PLUR is a little bit more than just
signing the end of e-mail with it, and it seems to me that some people just
can't grasp that really well.

My 2 kuna's,

Hi all!  =)


 Just some more stuff; I've been involved in a lot of parties and the 
only time I had to throw anybody out of a party was when some gangsta's 
started a fight on the dance floor. They were really drunk and me and 
some other workers split them up. We were ready to let things slide but 
one of the more drunken ones (the one I was dealing with) just couldn't 
get it into his head to stop fighting. So I threw him and five of his 
buddy's out. (no fighting at my parties around my equipment!)

 I happily called these folks gangsta's for a couple of reason's. They 
called themselves a gang, acted as a group of thugs and all wore similar 
clothing (colours). They were also white.

There was a white label techno remix a couple months back of the
song where Enya is singing "Sail away" or something like that...

I am wondering.  Is this the group of people, one of which is a Dj that
spins at HiFi (Julius Papp)?
There all white, and they usually wear the same colors. (Desert storm
colors) They seem cool, although they don't seem to like me much when there
drunk..  =]:. ..

P.S.  RavErs.  Anyone looking for new insured SL-1200's with life time free
allignment, and life time advanced replacement insurance for a few spare
bucks.  The Good Guys in Hayward have them for alittle over five bills.
Great way to establish sum credit..

Getting to the word "Gangsta".....remember the old TV shows where you heard
the word gangster and thought of Bonnie and Clyde days, Al Caponne, tommy
guns and the Untouchables.

You take away the 'ER' and replace it with an "a" to get Gangsta. Which is
most commonly used in the term Gangsta Rap. Which is mostly sang by male
African-American.  So when people use the term "Gangsta" some may
automaticly think that African-Americans are having a finger being pointed
at them.

I think that by using the term "Gangsta", John is automaticly thinking that
people are talking about African-American's because of the labeling of what
I mentioned above. I'm just asumming these thoughts, sense I don't know
what John is thinking. These are all just thoughts, so don't take anything
personnal and if I'm wrong on these thought please let me know, I want to
understand why you are thinking the way you do.

John, please tell us how you would describe the type of people that some of
the people on the this are labeling as "Gangsta".

I would describe a "Gangsta" as...... A group of usually males, that hang
together looking all big and bad with an attidude to match. Usually has
some kind of weapon. Wearing the latest fashion to show that they may have
money and/or wear the same style of clothes in the group to show they have
the numbers and don't screw with them. They pick fights to usually show
they are big and bad and can kick anyones butt. By acting that way I guess
they think women will like them more. I could go on, but I think you get
the picture.

I didn't describe a race because I've seen many groups of people like I
mentioned that were of different races. There is no one race that fits
under that description.  There can be one person from every single race in
that group and I'd consider everyone of the a Gangsta.

Maybe if we knew what your definition of these type of people are, we can
all come to an understanding of how you feel.

I hope I can speak for most if not all the people here when I say that.
When people on this list use the term Gangsta, there not refering to
anything specific, there refering to the type of people I mentioned before.
A group of people, acting and behaving in a ruthless way to get what they
want by any means. Wearing the latest fasion or the same style of clothes
to be seperated and notice by others as people not to miss with. Big, bad
bully gun and knife carrying thugs that want to start sh%t to make them
look cool.



I hope this made sense and I didn't offend anyone. Like a always say, I
think faster then I type and sometimes it comes out wrong, but I think I
made myself clear. I hope.

Cool World Productions are exactly the type of big, "clearcutting" parties
that caused the scene to implode in late 92 and early 93. Exactly. It's all
about a really big party with the *sole* purpose of making $$$ over
creating a vibe or anything else that the scene is about.

If there are too many Cool World type parties, the scene will once again
implode, leaving a fragmented and disillusioned community to pick up the
pieces, once again. If that happens, how may years will it take for another
recovery?

Remember, if the scene implodes, it doesn't just mean the end of the big
parties. It means that the electornic music movement will once again be set
back, there will be less enthusiasm for buying music, gear, throwing
parties, etc. on all levels. That means that your favorite budding artists,
labels, stores, etc. could perish due to an industry-wide (community-wide)
backlash for "this crappy rave culture" once again.

But Cool World and their uncaring, exploitive fucked up ilk would have made
their buck, so it's obvoiusly good for them. I praise them on their
entreprenurial efforts, but it definitely shows they are about PROMOTING
their party to MAKE MONEY, and little else.

To prove my point that we're alreay heading down the slippery slope to a
recap of 1993's over-hyped and over-marketed large crappy scene destroying
party oblivion, I have but one word:

	"UBIQUITOUS"

I think we all just need to step back for a second, and stop jumping down each 
others throats.  I'm sure everyone else on this list does not appreciate the 
animosities that keep cropping up here.  We need to remember to take 
statements with a grain of salt.  People on this list come from many, many 
different backgrounds, and it is hardly fair to expect everyone else around 
you to have come to the same conclusions.  Let's all remember why we gather as 
a collective like this.  It's not just the music.  We all have mixes at home.  
It's the company that brings us together.  Recognize and celebrate our 
differences, and then realize how trivial they are. 
 
PLUR.

Hi everyone,

Thankyou to all who responded to my sober raving post.  I am taking it all into 
consideration and trying to figure out what I'll try first.  I figure eating, 
taking everything at the same time would not be the most wonderful idea.

and, to everyone who wished me luck at my FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and 
Merchandising) interview, thank you, I did get accepted and will start in July!!

Hawaii Court: Lesbian & Gay Couples Should Be Allowed To Marry

Lambda Wins Historic Ruling Against Discrimination in Civil Marriage Law

(HONOLULU & NEW YORK, December 3, 1996)   For the first time in U.S. history
a state court ruled Tuesday that civil marriage law cannot discriminate
against lesbian and gay couples. A Hawaii court ruled in the case brought by
Honolulu civil rights lawyer Dan Foley and Lambda Legal Defense and Education
Fund on behalf of three lesbian and gay couples.

"This is a historic moment for lesbians and gay men," said Lambda Marriage
Project Director Evan Wolfson, who with Foley is co-counsel in the case,
Baehr v. Miike, tried in Honolulu this fall.  "When required at our trial to
justify its discriminatory marriage law, the government couldn't do it.  The
court today agreed that there is no compelling or logical reason for
discriminating against lesbian and gay couples," Wolfson said.

Speaking from Lambda's New York headquarters, Wolfson said, "This case made a
major breakthrough toward ending second-class status for gay families. This
decision marks the beginning of the end to sex discrimination in marriage."

Lambda is spearheading a national movement to end sex discrimination in civil
marriage, and to protect lesbian and gay families.

>From Honolulu, Foley, who litigated Baehr v. Miike from its earliest stages,
said, "Judge Kevin Chang made the only decision that he could, given the
evidence in this case.  This decision is not only historic, but of vital
personal consequence to the couples who want to get married."

Foley added, "Now that the court has ruled, the state should immediately
issue civil marriage licenses to the couples in this case."

Foley, through the Hawaii Equal Rights Marriage Project, and Wolfson
presented the case for two lesbian couples and one gay male couple seeking
civil marriage licenses in Hawaii.

The three couples, Ninia Baehr and Genora Dancel, Pat Lagon and Joseph
Melillo, and Antoinette Pregil and Tammy Rodrigues were denied marriage
licenses by the state Department of Health in late 1990.  In 1991, they
jointly filed a lawsuit alleging the denial was unconstitutional and
eventually the case was appealed to the Hawaii Supreme Court.

In 1993, the state Supreme Court ruled that, under Hawaii's Constitution,
allowing civil marriage licenses only for opposite-sex couples and not for
same-sex couples is sex discrimination.  The court ordered the state to show
what "compelling" interest justifies such discrimination in civil marriage.

Judge Chang of the First Circuit Court of Hawaii heard the case at a
nine-day, bench trial, September 10-20.  Deputy state Attorney General Rich
Eichor argued on behalf of Director Lawrence Miike of the state Department of
Health, which has jurisdiction over marriage licenses.

Lambda Executive Director Kevin Cathcart said, "This victory is important
progress for the civil rights of lesbians and  men in Hawaii and throughout
the country.  Just as the legal protections and recognition that come with
civil marriage should be available to everyone regardless of race, religion,
and ethnicity, they should be available to everyone regardless of sex or
sexual orientation."

Cathcart added, "Just a generation ago, for example, courts ended state
discrimination against marriages between people of different races. Today's
ruling takes a similar step toward ending state discrimination against the
marriages of lesbian and gay couples."

Two of the plaintiffs in the landmark case, Ninia Baehr and Genora Dancel,
who now live in Baltimore, quickly stated their exuberance with the ruling.
 "Many people around the country helped break through this wall of
discrimination.  While we face much more work ahead to secure this right
nationally, Ninia and I are deeply honored to be part of today's victory,"
Dancel said.

"Our love made it possible for me and Genora to get through this long legal
fight," Baehr said.  "I'm looking forward to our love getting us to our
wedding on a mountain slope in Maui," she said.

Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn said.  "Without civil marriage, gay
couples often face painful, difficult situations, like being barred from the
hospital bedside of a partner in a medical emergency. Lesbian and gay couples
have had no access to the legal, economic, and practical protections of civil
marriage that non-gay couples can take for granted."

Other protections withheld from gay couples include access to family health
coverage, immigration, divorce, and inheritance rights.  Lesbians and gay men
also are denied protection for their children and may lose custody when their
partner dies.

Dohrn said, "Our society is structured so that hundreds of legal obligations
and protections are available only through civil marriage.  It's time the law
stopped saying  no' to those who want and need to say  I do.'  The choice of
whether or not two people get married belongs to the couple, not the state."

The prospect of ending marriage discrimination against same-sex couples has
fueled recent backlash campaigns by the religious right to promote state and
federal anti-marriage legislation like the federal Defense of Marriage Act,
Wolfson said.

He noted that DOMA does not ban marriages for gay couples but would
discriminate against legally married gay couples by allowing  federal
protections and benefits only for heterosexual married couples.

Wolfson said, "The absurdly named  Defense of Marriage' Act, like the 16
state bills passed against equal marriage rights for lesbians and gay men, is
unconstitutional and will be defeated.  State by state, court by court, we
will put an end to this illogical and cruel discrimination."

Lambda is the oldest and largest legal organization dedicated to the civil
rights of lesbians, gay men, and people with AIDS and HIV.

I don't know if this is very useful--I may just be lucky to have the right
sort of metabolism or something--but I can't help but repeat a certain
well-worn bit of advice: Just do it!  (See, sportswear *does* have
something to do with raving.)  If you're starting to fade, you can slow
down, relax a little, but focus on the music and keep moving and you *can*
break through to a second wind that will easily keep you going til morning.
Once that first hump is past, in fact, a lot of times I actually can't
sleep without a couple of hours to wind down.  Not to boast--well, ok, a
little bit to boast, but mostly just to show it can be done--but I've gone
out, raving and otherwise, for literally days at a time, stimulant-free.
Back in May there was one weekend...Friday night was Dreamtime down in
Soquel, back home in the morning to pick up supplies and a bite, then
duelling soundsystems at Panther beach all afternoon, dinner in SF then
over the bridge to Funky Tekno Tribe, Sunday hanging around Berkeley
checking out records til it's time for Sunset down at the Marina, then
finally back to SF for Spundae's Memorial Day special at 1015.  And then
there was the time I drove straight from here to New Hampshire...well,
anyway, with some effort and practice I really think you can develop your
natural stamina.  And you should give it a try...you know those cycling
bumper stickers that say "a better kind of high" and the sort of stuff you
hear about endurance athletes and endorphins and runner's high and so on?
Well, there's a lot of sanctimonious BS involved, but at root it's true:
prolonged physical exertion will get you high.  It's a lot subtler than,
say, tripping, but very real--your pupils will dilate, objects will take on
that preternatural glow and intense presence in your vision, there's
lightness, tingling, acute awareness of the body, spacy thinking.  Sleep
deprivation helps here, too.  But be careful!  You might try it and...get
HOOKED!  You could find yourself (shudder) RAVING SOBER.  Maybe we need
some public service announcements on this.

Anyway, besides all that, Geoff's remarks about eating right are good
advice--eating well but not too heavily is essential.  I hadn't thought
about the veggie connection before, but while I'm not strict about it (I
try to avoid strictness in anything, as a rule), I eat very little meat,
particularly when going out.  Carbohydrates--rice, cereal, bread--are key.
If I think of it, I sometimes take a general multivitamin beforehand.
Helps me feel prepared, if nothing else.

And if nothing seems to work, there's no rule that says you can't nap at a
party.  I've done that...the noise and otherwise less-than-ideal conditions
available usually make it difficult to sleep deeply no matter how tired I
am, but that's good--keeps me from dropping off until the guy with the
broom has to get me up.  The trick of telling yourself when you'll wake up
works better for me with the light, short sleep of a party than at home in
bed, too.  Even just dozing, half-awake, for thirty minutes or so can be
refreshing.

I feel bad when someone wants water and doesn't have the money to buy it
because raves are WAAAAAAAAAAy to expensive at the present moment. And
alos is water for that matter! I can buy 3 bottles at Safeway for the
price of one at  a rave. Whats with this bullcrap. But thats now what i
am here to say. I am saying that I had a cold this weekend at Be Here
Now/Tribal Funk (Vibeless rave at stupid Home Base) and i didn't ask for
water from anyone. I didn't have any money either. So i got like one
bottle of water for the whole night. Also, I rarely E so i was fine. I
told anyone who wanted water that I had a cold and they could have some
if they wanted, but at least I warned them. Most people at raves still
have the cold from the last rave and let people have their water without
warning them and they come home with 5 differnet colds, then you can't go
to school the next day cuz your sick and you miss school and you get
abscences and you parents yell at you and say why are you sick. 
If you have a cold, please don't drink other people's waters, and if they
want yours tell them your sick before they drink it. 
I guess the whole thing of everyone getting everyone else's cold promotes
the whole thing about Unity though. Everyone has evryone's cold. Sort of
Ironic in a way.

Okay man think about wha your saying, is Wild 107 related more to clubs?
or raves? Aha! I see Raves, your right. Are we ravers or clubbers, which
means at a rave you hear music that is rave type music.

Hip Hop Doesn't belong at a rave budy! Neither does Angelina and
Roughneck!
Who wants to hear, "I don' need you love love, I dont need your love no
more!"
and how about "Everybody wants to be somebody, everybody wants to be
somebody, everybody, who you gonna be, don't you wanna be somebody!"

Thats at  a CLUB. A CLUB. We go to RAVES. We would like to hear RAVE
MUSIC!
Such as
Deep, Acid, Proggressive, House
Jungle (sometimes)
Trance, Tribal, Industrial.
etc.

No one at a rave likes Proggressive Techno.

The day Carlos spins Angelina or Buffy is the day I stop raving.

And all that stuff about cool world, any RAVER( empahsise on RAVER part)
thats been to a Cool World,  (cyber fest, palnet new year, mega
buzz((actually was a cool world party)), and any other future cool world)
can you tell that its not a rave, its a PARTY
For PARTY People.

Raving is not a sexual experience.

Raving is a PLUR experience.

It may be hard to understand, but try to get it.

And there is nothing wrong with 107 or rap or hip hop. I listen to it
sometimes to.
But not at a RAVE.
That music belong at The Edge or Hollywodd Junction or maybe City Nights.

PLUR,
Paul

That space can suck, but all of my friends and I that went to the FTT Haloween massiv there had an awesome time. If they use all the rooms they had then, that place is absolutely huge.You want a bust-free event with great DJ's - there's not many locations that I've been to North or South that can match it. People in LA have to drive 100 minutes or more to San Bernadino to get a location half as good. I was a little leary of the infamous "gangster element" but saw no problems at all. Give it a break-the latino element is far more pronounced in LA and it's rarely a big deal either place.

I think the term "Gangsta" is African-American idenitified because it
comes out of African-American street venacular-the replacing of 'er' at
the ends of words with vowell.  I would also argue that lots of people
who use the word even when they are referring to 'gangstas' of other
races are implying a wanna-be black connotation to youth of that
subculture.   Maybe i am misperceiving people's use of that word but
that seems to me to be the implication in alot of the cases.
It is a loaded word for a lot of the behavior atrributed to youth who act
in this manner I think is attributed as having been derived from ghetto
culture.  As a person of mixed race who is black, white, and latino, i get
a lot that I am not "black" becuse I do not talk street and go to Stanford
and am not from the ghetto-funny since my family fought for civil rights
in the political arena as media-labeled "black politicians" though they
were really mixed.  Nowadays, I think racism and class issues are becoming
closer as certain behavior and subcultures (as in some cases before)
become racially identified.

For example, raving is considered by many people I know to be a
white-middle class phenomenom coming out of the white-middle
class phenomenom of the hippy in the 60's.  Bored kids with enough money
to spend on drugs and with enough societal safety nets to drop out for a
while.  Another example of a media construction but a construction as with
gangsta that all need to be aware of when communicating thought.

 I just
thought I would throw that thought out
there since Tim's point of need for definition is a valid one.

Anyone know where the best places to buy professional DJ equipment in San
Francisco
are?  I know of Zebra records (has some), but beyond that I've been unable
to find any
great stores with say Intimidation stuff, etc.  If not in the city, the Bay
Area or US mail order.

I'm about to go the UK mail-order route, but find it implausible that no
major DJ Equipment
suppliers/stores exist here in San Francisco....let alone Mail-order US
shops.....the UK Dance
mags are full of stores and the like, but none of the US mags seem to even
feature ads for Mail
order companies.... :-(

Anyone have any hints for the UK mail-order route if I end-up down that path?

Thanx,

Form what I have seen, from what I have heard, from what I know:

A ganster is:
-Someone who participates in illegal activity for profit power.
-People who band together to do the above (i.e. a group).
-A group of people, usually underprivildged, who join together to 
protect or enhance thier standing in their community by forming 
protective collectives, or gangs, to achieve such goals.
-groups of people wh have a set of laws and a way of existence that 
attempts to do the aforementioned.
-A group of pople who care little about life, liberty and the pursuit of 
anything other than their own defnination of happiness and pushing up.
-living the life of felony to get by in an organized group of people.
-More a matter of the colors one wears than a fashion sense (adidas is 
only one attribute SOME gangs have taken on...geez people).
-What many on this list have yet to see, and live about it to tell.  I am 
ONE very lucky individual indeed.

Now, can someone please tell me if they've seen a ganstah at a rave?

Here's another clue:

Gangnstah don't pay to get into shit.  They would just as well bum rush 
than pay.  Just as well gank than pay.  Just as well bust your jaw, face, 
teeth before you could take your eyes off of them.

Gangstahs ain't, i'm sorry, are not, living double lives.  They live the 
way they act.

So, please, someone tell me, have you seen a ganstah, ganster, gangsta at 
a rave?  And how did you know?

Now if you're talking bad attitude, then shit, I am a gangstah too.  When 
some silly ass nipple-neck jerkie comes up to me with a dumb-ass smile 
and tell me to "Hey man, S-M-I-L-E!", whilst his eyes are bulging out of 
his gourd, then the gangstah might come out of me and I might jump out of 
my trance and give the dirty look.  Is that it?  Or is it when I decide 
to wear my Adidias wear and stay behind the DJ booth, arms crossed, and a 
serious look on my face, or am I just listening and watching one of the 
masters rip shit up at the party?  Could it just be I decided to dress 
younger than I normally do, starter jacket and all, and just happen to 
not hug anyone, or kiss, or smile, I just came tohear music, and just 
happen to be one of the stand-offish shy, reposed black men who RARELY go 
out to these hoe-downs.  Or could it be that I'm a gangstah;
"Hey everyone, I went to this party the other night, and I accidentally 
stepped on this guys shoes.  He was all decked out in the gangstah look 
and vibed me really hard.  I wish people would leave their negative 
'tudes at the door.  especially the gangstahs.  WHy do they come to our 
party anyway?"

My reply is usually "Why did your clumsy ass step on my feet?"

What if broham had a bad toe, or maybe you were the umpteenth hucklebuck 
to do so, and your number was up.  Maybe homes got tired of getting his 
shit stepped on and don't wanna be your buddy.  Maybe homey came with his 
friends, and you ravers, or at least a small number of you, kept hitting 
on his girl, or the girls with him.  Maybe homes is checkin shit out for 
the first time, just took a hit of this white shit, and is waiting for 
something/nothing to happen.  Maybe he was just getting there when your 
smiling, stumbling, drooling shake-a-booty wanted to commune with him.  
Maybe homes wasn't down for that.  Maybe people just want to be left 
alone. 

Maybe next time you see him out, you say hello before you get all 
stoopid, lovey slap-happy.  Maybe you might want to give him a quick 
shout and say "Hey man, saw you last time.  Did you have a good time?" 
say later then jet.  Maybe some people take a long time to know.

Maybe gangstah ain't the word for people you hardly know.  Maybe we might 
want to stick to a more accurate description.  Why?  Becuase...gangsters 
don't go to raves.

That's why...

Words can be like a sword.  Often it is she that weilds them that gives 
it the true power.

That's why I can say some things you cannot.  That is why others can say 
things that are verboten from my lips.  In the end, it is about respect, 
and consideration of others.  That's what I'm all about.

Anyway, time to lock and load.  There is new years coming up.  I have 
already decided to go the limit.  One of my new years resolutions is to 
vibe anyone who might step on my new adidas.  If anyone, and I don;t care 
if your name IS Neils Mayer or Jack Diamond, anyone dares step on my 
shoes I'm a stomp a fuckin' mudhole in your ass...bitch!

"And if you step on mine It'll push the button, and I'll beat you down 
like it ain't nothin'!" US, Ice Cube, Death Certificate

Peace out all...really.  And don't worry, I won't stomp ya...as long as 
you don't diss my sneaks. ;)

Peace out,
John

many ;)'s

Hi Jeff!  =)

 ummmm, I don't know. I don't know where HiFi is and I'm not familiar 
with the Julius Papp crowd. The guys I mentioned were wearing all white.

John,
 
A gangstah is a ordinary person, any color at all.  You might not even
know it's a ganstah until he is in 6th or 7th grade.  Then differences
appear.  He is not interested in history or science in school, does not
do well in math class.  Hates many of the teachers; they respond in
kind.  In 9th grade, he finds he can fight well, really kick others kids
ass; makes him feel great.  He can't name 3 branches of government, or
show you were he lives on a map, but he can really bloody a kids nose.

By 11th grade, he has had several major run ins with police.  He hates
'pigs', funny, they seem to hate him too.  He hangs with others like
himself.  They all hate school, they hate college (and knowledge too).
By 12th grade, his future is all but sealed.  Zero possibility of UC
Berkley.  He drops out of school in frustration.

The primary mission of a gangstah is to fight.  They divide the city
they live in up into what they call 'turf'. ( I don't know how, I
suppose by Zip code, or phone exchange.)  Then the classic behavior sets
in.  There Zip code must be defended from kids who live in other Zip
codes.  I know it sounds stupid; but it is a VERY serious issue to them.
 The will kill or die in defending there Zip code.  Don't believe me ?
Check the TV news; check the Cron or SJ Merc.  That is EXACTLY what
happens.  Over and over.  Some guy from another Zip code (or whatever
boundaries they have agreed upon) sitting in THERE park; that is reason
to shoot somebody.

All classes of people want to be identified and grouped together.
Business men look like they are business men, a Catholic priest looks
like a priest, a cop wears his uniform, hippies (in order to show they
are all different) all dress the same, ravers, military men, Caltrans,
and everybody else.  You dress to show what kind of person you are;
where you 'fit in'.  On board a US Navy vessel; a US flag is flown.
This is called the 'colors'.  Displaying them is called showing your
colors.  It's not the flag that counts; or power business suite.  It's
what it stands for.  Everybody knows everybody else's colors; what good
would it do to fly colors if others did not know what they mean.  This
is common sense; and we all know and use it.  

You find a place to park on Mission St., get out of your car; its 22:00,
your parked 3/4 block from the place your going.  On one side of the
street appears a bunch of bikers getting out of there bar; on the other;
a number of ravers are gathering.  What side of the street do you walk
down to get to where you are going?  You read the colors of both camps
and conclude a much lower probability of engagement with ravers then
bikers and proceed.  You grouped; catorgized people, then acted on it. 

The ganstah are not interested in superposition or wave theory; they
don't care about the first 1 X 10 -20 Seconds after the big bang.  They
only know how to hurt people. They will never invent anything; solve any
world problems; or make the world a better place.  They will just cost
you money; as eventually they will go to jail.

But skin color; nope, that has nothing to do with it John.

FWT

I was given this idea while in Tahoe a few weekends ago.

Would anyone like to contribute to an e-book of tobacco smoking aperati?  
I've seen all kinds of beautiful pieces, and would love to showcase a 
collection online, especially homemade or customized items.

Anyone interested?  If so, send me a picture of your favorite item along 
with a brief description or anecdote.  Identities will be kept 
confidential.  Other thoughts?

peace

deeje

Okay this guys is the best example of the worst vibe in the world Read
this.

>Now, can someone please tell me if they've seen a ganstah at a rave?
Just about every single one at the Home base Warehouse. Usually, when
they have a tatoo that says "XIV" it means that they are affiliated with
the Home Brothers on the Eastern Portion of our city. Or When someone
makes a W letter with their fingers it is an indication that, the want
water?, no that they are down for the west side.

>Gangnstah don't pay to get into shit.  They would just as well bum 
>rush 
>than pay.  Just as well gank than pay.  Just as well bust your jaw, 
>face, 
>teeth before you could take your eyes off of them.

Well they payed for all the raves I have seen them at because the rent a
cops had bigger guns than they did and because a police car was there.
They are gangsters not stupid, they are not going to comit a felony in
front of so many cops.

>So, please, someone tell me, have you seen a ganstah, ganster, gangsta 
>at 
>a rave?  And how did you know?

I knew from his tatoos, the way he acted towards others, also because he
was wearing a red bandana.

>Now if you're talking bad attitude, then shit, I am a gangstah too.  
>When 
>some silly ass nipple-neck jerkie comes up to me with a dumb-ass smile 
>
>and tell me to "Hey man, S-M-I-L-E!", whilst his eyes are bulging out 
>of 
>his gourd, then the gangstah might come out of me and I might jump out 
>of 
>my trance and give the dirty look.  Is that it? 

No that could be anybody at a rave. That is a bad vibe, Most gangsters
fall into that catagorey, because, like most ravers, they never heard of
PLUR.

>Or is it when I 
>decide 
>to wear my Adidias wear and stay behind the DJ booth, arms crossed, 
>and a 
>serious look on my face, or am I just listening and watching one of 
>the

I wear adidas that doesn't mean shit! Who cares what you wear to a rave.
Maybe your tired from killing all those people during the week. Thats why
your arms are crossed.

THIS IS WHAT HE SAIDS ABOUT RAVERS
>"Hey everyone, I went to this party the other night, and I 
>accidentally 
>stepped on this guys shoes.  He was all decked out in the gangstah 
>look 
>and vibed me really hard.  I wish people would leave their negative

>My reply is usually "Why did your clumsy ass step on my feet?"

Thats because there are too many people to look where your going. And if
you waited a while the RAVER might turn around and say SORRY! What a
concept. Why would he say sorry? Because he knows what PLUR is. He might
even let you have a sticker or a hug or buy you water.

>What if broham had a bad toe, or maybe you were the umpteenth 
>hucklebuck 
>to do so, and your number was up.  Maybe homes got tired of getting 
>his 
>shit stepped on and don't wanna be your buddy.  Maybe homey came with 
>his 
>friends, 

Well, then he shouldn't go to a RAVE if he cant accept that. Better yet
maybe he shouldn't wear his best shoes to a rave!

>and you ravers, or at least a small number of you, kept 
>hitting 
>on his girl, or the girls with him.  

This is really stupid, because NO RAVER ever, ever hits on any girl/guy
at a rave, ever!
If a girl/guy hits on a RAVER, he will usually say no thankyou. He/she
doesn't like Homie girls/guys. He/She likes Ravers!

> Maybe we 
>might 
>want to stick to a more accurate description.  Why?  
>Becuase...gangsters 
>don't go to raves.
>
>That's why...

Yes they do. Maybe should look around at a rave if you have ever been to
one and count the ammount of gangster homie OGs there are.

>like it ain't nothin'!" US, Ice Cube, Death Certificate

Perfect example that he doesn't belong at a rave, because he doesn't know
what PLUR is.

I feel sorry for this guy. I can't help him at all. I don't know why he
is like this. maybe his mom beats him with a vaccum cleaner handle. Its
too bad for him.

Hi all,
  
I thought I'd jump into this thread after reading Wayne's post.  After 
some thinging I agree with Wayne here. I've been around for almost 4 
years in the scene and now can say I've seen ups and downs in this 
culture.  I can't compare what I know to the earlier days well because 
raves were so underground (from were I came from) I didn't even know 
about em'.  Shit my first party was Freedom -on the way to a ski trip and 
I saw lasers in the hills,  Went to investigate and here I am now-.  
 
  As far as I know the first party by coolworld prod was Cyberfest in 
93.  This is also Feel Good right.  I never went to a Feel good party 
because I trusted my instincts to not go.  After a few big parties I 
noticed an increase in big parties and also an increase of new faces year 
after year.  This is probably a result of the increased popularity in 
this 'alternative' culture.  Alternative to clubs, alternative to bars, 
aternative to concerts, alternative to the norm.  
   
   I found our scene through the love of music and the introduction of 
new people, races, and generations.  The unity formed by all these people 
celebrating dance, music and love drew me in and changed my outlook on 
life in many ways.  i'm grateful for the exploration of mind and culture 
I've done in these years.  Because of this I have come to a point where I 
get disappointed with crews who use this culture, and capitalize on it 
for their own benifit. Even more so, with out conributing to the scene
positively.  

    Many crews have brought positive vibes, new music, new people, and 
a higher understanding of self and society.  i don't see this in Feel 
Good and/or Cool world.

   I don't go to CW becuse I haven't any good stories about their 
parties.  I haven't heard about goodtimes had at their parties and the 
notion of getting lost in 10,000 people who don't celebrate this unity 
with each other doesn't appeal to me. 
 
   I have a big problem with FGE and CW promotion.  I bleive for the good 
of our community and the scene that raves sould stay underground.  It 
would be great if the whole world would "get it" but it won't happen in 
my lifetime.  CW promotes on the radio, at malls, shopping centers, 
schools, and anywhere to get mass people to come to their parties.  They 
promote that they are "Northern California's leading dance organization - 
5 years strong"  Sorry but everyone on this list knows this is false.  
And five years?  Cyberfest was in 93 which makes that 3 years and 1 party 
a year doesn't make you experienced or the best.

   They promote sex at their parties.  "Plus you never know you just 
might get abducted or better yet have a sexual encounter with a colorful 
alien!  Don't worry they do practice safe sex."  Ummm did someone mention 
rape.   On their flyer they don't promote drug use but they have a bar!  

    Don't forget they will be filming this event for future broadcast and 
it will be broadcast live on the internet.  Plus there is a fax number so 
the press can get a press pass.  What is this shit.  i certainly don't 
want my face plastered all over HardCopy or the SanFran Cronical the next 
morning when they print howmany Od's occured over the night.  Remember 
the last CoolWorld in Oaktown!

   I think Ray Vonnie of Fell Good is on this list but I haven't heard 
from him about this topic.  Or maybe he just subs to promote his 
"underground" parties (Spirit) and then logs off when he's finished with 
the plug.   I know there are many of you out there who dj, promote, 
contribute, and throw parties and just participate in our scene by 
spreading the positive vibe.  Those of you I love.  You are true to the 
scene.  

    You will not find me at coolworld or Feel Good (Unless I decide to 
find out for my own experience what I've been hearing is true.  And of 
course this will never happen unless I can get in for free.).  I hope 
those that go have a good time but remember Cloud Factory is also 
throwing a party, and so is Origin.  What about  F&F? (I would love to 
get to another one!)

Keep it Real!
Keep it Underground!


PLUR,

       Austin

Oh John! you just need a hug!  But you've gotta get rid of those
spoo-covered-worn-out-odor-eater-so-dookie-smellin-the-dog-won't-even-sniff-em
addidas sneaks.

Have a nice day! Take it easy! Peace! Today is the first day of the
rest of your life! And remember, love means never having to wear your sari!

Hello all u beautiful ppl.

I just have one small question for all of u.
Why is everyone, i'm sure i'm included, so damn petty on here?

When i first subscribed i was excited about this list the people and topics on here 
seemed soooo cool.  I finally had a place to talk to people about two of the things 
that i love most in this world: raves and music.  But, it seems, the longer i'm on 
here and the more i read ppl's posts the more i realize that ppl NEED to relax in 
this world.  Let ppl be, and if u must have a flame with someone, PLEASE send it 
to them privately.  I'm not trying to police the list, but some of this has gotten to me 
and made me sad about the list.  Obviously these are just my opinions, but i 
really felt like i needed to share them with everyone.

I still like the list and read about half of what's on here (down from like 90%).  I 
would just like to see it as a happier and more unified entity.  And i don't mean 
that everyone has to agree on everything to be unified.  I just think we should all 
respect each other a little more.  After all it's a BIG, CRUEL world out there and 
we should stick together.

Sorry.....i didn't mean for this to get philosophical.

Well........i'm pretty sure that was my $.02 for a while.

Thank u for listening,
Micron

Some of these are in poor taste.   I was personally was amused by items
2 and 6.  The list has been rather slow with mail today anyway, and I am
too busy at work to contribute something that is actually thought

I usually only share water with people that i know.  I bring in my own 
bottle and fill up from whatever taps are around.  I know this isn't 
foolproof, but it saves me money, and i usually know which one of my 
friends is ill :)

I used to share water indiscriminately, but being sick all the time made 
me feel that it was all right to be selfish on these occasions.  Besides, 
REAL ravers take care of their own water ;)

I have to dissagree with you Mattew; beacause, I agree 100% with MHg. I 
too get really pissed when people compare ravers to phish fans. I find it 
very insulting. I have a whole lot more in common with a bunch of trendy, 
addias wearing kids then I'll ever have with a bunch of unwashed 
PU-chewly reeking crab ranchers. What do we have in common anyway? Many 
people in both groups do drugs: so what? The whole country is on drugs. 

Sheesh all MHg asked for was a little NRR where needed. A perfectly valid 
request.

Speaking of kill files phish is definitley in mine. Gawd I love Claris 
Emailer. I think it's still free at: 
ftp://ftp.claris.com/pub/USA-Macintosh/x.Shareware-Freeware/Emailer_Seeding
/

Not only does Claris Emailer let me make kill files, it also puts all sfr 
stuff in it's own folder. Eudora Pro will do this as well, but it costs 
money. Oh yeah that address is for the MacOS version, I've no idea if 
Claris Emailer comes in any other version.

ps to MHg: please keep throwing monkey wrenches in the works; this list 
can get to be a bit of a sheep farm at times.

Wow!  I'm totally into learning about "drug-neuroscience," (for lack of a
better term), and although I really haven't been looking all that hard
(and I don't know all that much outside of what they tell me in school), I
haven't found any good *current* drug-related articles in the popular
media that are actually concerned with physical or chemical bases of
interaxn, besides the classic psychological "These are the symptoms...this
is what case studies say it's like" rhetoric.  I've always assumed that
this is because research has been slim on these things, since the drugs
involved are "illegal."  I can't imagine that it would be because the
scientific community as a whole doesn't care.  But then again, if the drug
in question were, say, illegal, physiologically nonaddictive, and
relatively harmless for the most part, there's no money in researching it,
is there?
(*sigh*; Yet again, our quest for knowledge is based on greed for wealth,
rather than the betterment of humanity.)

Anyways, the magazine, you say, is Synapse? Where can I find it?  BTW, I
would consider the article to be rave-related.  If users do ingest
psychoactives (such as E, acid, etc.), or any other drug as a
regular part of the scene, is that not justification enough to explore it
in a  rave-based newsgroup?  I would think that a lot of users would want
to know more about what they are putting into their bodies.  (I know
I would!)  Well, that's my .02, thanx for sharing, Jay!

Hey Everyone!

After digging around this town, we finally found a spot for Audio Impact.
Kinda last minute I know, but when your renegade, beggers can't be choosers!  :)

Due to the short notice, we can only do 21+  this time around. Sorry, but it
was the best we could do. Brace yourself for the 18th. We'll be getting some
guests in, do 18+ again, with a much better location!

Tomorrow, Wed. Dec 4th, 
9p - 2a
$5

Sound Specialists include:

Shoam
Hannibal Selector
Tomas
UFO

...at the VooDoo Lounge (y'know, where Headquarters is!), 601 Eddy between
Polk & Larkin, SF

Call the BASS Kru voice mail for more info:  415.332.5800 ext. 247

Got a lot to say about the state of events regarding spaces in this town
(fuckin' hell!!!). Perhaps when things slow down a bit, I'll chew your ear
off.  ;)

If there are any problems with the management, please let us know so we can
go step on their throats!

later...

Jonas J.

I just wanted to tahnk marc for the letter.  I think this 15 year old person has a 
deeper understanding than a lot of people.  While i agree that some of the views 
are simplistic, i definitely think that he is on the right track.

I wasn't sure I was going to get involved in this BULL SHIT about 
CoolWorld and all the absolutely ignorant posts.....BUT, austin draged 
me into it.   with his last post about me onlu subing to promote my 
events....Ha....Just to let you know ,  Im listening, and I have been 
around for Close to S E V E N (7) years, and I have seen and heard 
everything, More than once.  And once again here I am feeling like 
people just DON"T GET IT!!!!!

So let me try once again to shed some light on this matter so that 
everyone can have a clear understanding of what is going on.

The first thing is this:   FEEL GOOD ENTERTAINMENT  IS NOT  THE SAME AS 
COOL WORLD.    GET IT STRAIT.   This is the botom line and it is final. 
Anyone that wants to generalize and steriotype is doing just that,  And 
we all know what an ignorant act that is.

Secondly.  I see a problem arising from the rave sceen, Or atleast the 
people who consider themselves the "core" ravers, or whatever.  You are 
all geting old and are to stubern to accept the envitable change that 
takes place in everything in live.  Evolution is the foundation of our 
existance.  Nothing ever stays the same, and everything will always 
change.  get a grip on reality, and flow with it.  Enjoy the things 
while they last, and cherish the memory.
 
If you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything.  
Especialy when it comes to things that you do not agree with.

I have been around for a real long time.  I was one of the promoters 
that established Cool World.  I have nothing but pride in all things 
that I have come in contact with.  Feel Good Ent is my company, we have 
been around longer than CW, and we have worked with CW on all their 
events.  

For anyone who cares to know the truth about CW and what they are all 
about, Here it is:

It is all about bringing people together.  

CW is a multicultural music and dance festival production company.

CW believes that people are brought together by music.  It is not 
solely a rave production organization.  CW produces events, and 
parties, where ALL people can come, that want to.  It is just like it 
saids on all the flyers;  If you come with a positive atitude, a good 
time will be guaranteed.  

All I have seen is negative atitudes from about CW on this list for a 
long time, in fact for years.  CW has taken more shit from the sceen 
than anyone else, and yet the parties still get biger and better.  what 
does that tell you?!???

I am down for everybodies freedom of expression, and I beleive that no 
one can be wrong when it comes to their own opinion.  all I am asking 
for is that if you are not down for somthig, or you don't like the way 
things are changing, do somthing positive about them.  Flaming 
coolworld as a rave scapegoat for all the sceens problems is not going 
to make the problems, or coolworld go away, it just makes you out to be 
a negative person.

Coolworld has brought more first time ravers into this sceen than any 
other production company.  They have exposed thousands of people to the 
beuty of house music and introduced many people to sceen.  Cool World 
should get some apreciacion, and respect for their eforts, not anger 
and negativity.

I have a lot of pride in the rave sceen.  And I have a lot of pride in 
FGE and CW.  

The one thing that I have learned is that you cannot please everyone.  
There are always going to be those that go unhappy no matter how hard 
you try to do the best you can.  This is unfortunate, but it is the 
truth.  So for those of you who are unhapy about CW, just don't go.  
You probably won't be missed,  and the absence of your negative 
attitude will make the event more positive.

A party is what you make it.  It exists in you mind and is manifested 
by your attitude.  if you want to have a good time, you will.  If you 
didn't have a good time, then you didn't make the best of it.

Well spoken. John.  You have addressed a lot of things that have concerned
me since I joined the list.

Part of the Respect in PLUR requires that we be aware of those around us.
Even when different than us.  No.  Especially when different.  Make the
effort to be aware.  I do not doubt that many on the list may not have known
the impact of words like 'gangsta'.  I do not think anyone is really being
accused of racism of the Mark Fuhrman type.  But there are other kinds of
racism, kinds which can be found in our words and in our institutions.
Often without awareness, we can participate in it-- just by virtue of
picking up the dialect or living in this society.  With knowledge (and a
little of the Love in PLUR),  we can learn.  

Beware of other words, like 'PC', not because being 'PC' is problematic, but
because it is used, like an epithet, to cut off discussion.  And the
discussion is needed, for that is where the awareness starts.

Thank you for your bravery in taking something so controversial into
SFRaves.  You are not alone in your opinions.  Or your attitudes.

PLUR (and I mean it),
Kerry

  If you want to insult people, have fun - I hope it takes you as far in 
life as you want to go.  I guess I'm misinterpreting your post, because 
it seems like you're saying you like people based on how well they accord 
to your fashions, but I don't think people are ever this blatently 
shallow.  Please clarify.
  Well, if you want to impose your views of what a rave is on others, why 
not try these other restrictions...

"real raves don't have flyers" or 
"real raves are only held in broken-into spaces"
  CLEARLY, not everyone has the same idea about what raving is...

"House music gives the rave scene a bad name, trance is the only true 
music"
"Trance music gives the rave scene a bad name, house is the only true 
music"
  etc etc - why have such a narrow view?...

at phish concerts I have had complete strangers give me presents.  Phish 
phans have sent me dozens of tapes on the confidence that I will give 
them something in return.  Listening to music with people who are sharing 
in the groove and the appreciation of the tunes.  People dance.  Soem use 
psychedelics to heighten their experience.  How many similarities do you 
want?  I mean, I see as much difference between some raves as I do 
between raves and phish.  Compare Cool World events to, say BBQ & Beats 
or a Friends and Family party.  Quite different?  And there are soo many 
kinds of electronic music, many are very dissimilar.

  I don't get the crab ranching reference...

I don't know who said what about Feel Good being like COOL WORLD, which
is totally bogus. But thankyou Ray Vonie for proving my point about COOL
WORLD. They are not a rave production. They do many events as well.
Ravers can do what they want. I don't know what its like to ba at  a rave
from the promoters view with a fat wallet and all, but the fact that they
are so huge and every RAVER saids bad about COOL WORLD now. I have not
been raving all my life, I don't know how it was then or whatever. One
thing I do give COOL WORLD is that they don't false advertise for DJ and
anything that will go on at a COOL WORLD. The one thing that they cant
change is who goes to their PARTIES. But they can try to not attract
those types f people. Before a movie, play, production of whatever you
need to have a target audience in mind. Since there are no changes in the
way they do things on a down scale, that must mean they are happy with
who goes there. The term RAVER comes from the word RAVE. RAVERS are
essentially what make a rave, a rave. Sure whoever wants to go to a rave
can go and its hellza cool. Its jsut that every Raver i know, has been
brought into the scen by another RAVER. That mean that A Raver has
approved a person to become a possible raver. Sometime they may choose
wrong and that one person may not set out a good vibe. Don't know why. Or
They may be told. "Wanna go to a RAVE?" They have heard stories about it,
mostly lies concocted by the media.
They are never sat down and talked to about Vibes, Smiles, PLUR (most
important factor of a rave) and hugs. The things that every raver
treasures and hopes for at every rave. No it so happens, that i have had
been handed flyers for COOL WORLD from people who don't even look or act
like a raver.  They don't know who I am or if i am mean or what. I amy
say COOL, Angelina is going to be there. Then I go to a COOL WORLD, since
there aren't any good vibes or PLUR there i feel the same as before, but
have a good time and maybe get into a fight. I don't knwo what PLUR is no
told me. Yet i still went to a rave.
Thats the thing here. Every rave i know has been brought in the scene by
another rave. They have been sat down and have been told what PLUR is.
Their raver firiend has been educating them how to act at a rave.
Since COOL WORLD is so public, of course it will introduce so many people
to their first rave. But they will go for drugs, music, whatever. Not for
PLUR. Because its not on the flyer. I mean the COOL WORLD Magazine.
Thats what is wrong with COOL WORLD
PLUR
-Paul
(The Guy Who started this thread)
I have been to a COOL WORLD. I know how it is. 
I can back up everything i say
I am a RAVER
I know what PLUR is
Ravers make a rave.
Not Music, not drugs, not money, not visuals.

Whew.  Glad this got cleared up.  Guess all those bustiers, hip-huggers,
retro-thrift rayon shirts, and knit caps worn in 110 degree heat are
completely utilitarian in nature.  And I didn't know that all those
people laying on each other in the chill room came to the event as a
group who already knew each other, without exception.

Gosh!  I'm so naive sometimes.  Perhaps some day I will know enough to
be a Raver.

Like I said, you don't know any gangstahs.  They don't give a fuck about
cops. If you knew some you would know.  Cops are more afraid of gangstahs
than you would think.  But then agian you don't know any.

No, I am saying white males.  There are black males, white males, asian
males, all ,kinds of amles.  The variety I was talking about are the white
males that inhabit this country, and thus this list.  Or, as I more
accurately put it, SOME or MOST, but certainly not all.

Why didn't you pipe up when people start grouping others by using terms
such as gangstah.  Please apply your OWN laws equally and we might get to a
btter understanding.

I don't know that.  Not yet that is.

Yep, I graduated in 1981.  My group of friends consisted of whites,
jamaicans (very racially diverse), one Asian brotha who is still my serious
hometown, and many hard ass brothers.  I love and loved them all.  That is
what high school was for me.  Very, very integrated.  Group mentality
started in stoopid ass college.

And WHO particiapted in the survey.  Thank you very much sir.

As for context, perhaps it is the people on this list who are out of

No not me, your society.  And the sub-society that loves to bandy labels
around like tic tacs, then when called to task try to defend their racism
with freedom of speech, non-PC, etc.

Whatever, a memeber of your community takes offense, and you say to him,
"Shut up!, We're not talking about you!".

Whatever.  The more things change the more they remain the same.

I have labled you nothing, I know you must be disappointed by this.  I said
I MIGHT call you a racist.  After all, you and others on this list use
racist speech, and categorize people who are outside of your neat rave
domain.  Which, in my not so humble estimation, is damn near completely
white.  Much like this list, much like this country.  Just a matter of
fact.  And I have noticed a certain mena-spritiedness seep in.  Oh no my
droogies, you know me, I hardly say anything, and it didn't srat with me, I
JUST chimed in today so....  This bullshit gangstah talk has run it's
course, time for a new paradigm.  Find it, and stop the racist leanings,
racist tendencies, and racist speech.  I for one will no longer sit idly by
and allow this to continue.

I have had quite enough of the bigotry.  Time for it to go.

Late,
John

That is correct.  Since I KNOW gangsters, and Geoff has had his run-in's
with a few. other than perhaps your dad, who was in Law Enforcement, you
arte quite correct.  The fact that we are of African descent (not your dad
mind you ;) ), gives us a different perspective.

I would say however that anyone who has had dealings with those in that
underworld, are better versed than many on this list who had very
middle/upper-middle calss upbringings.  I would almost venture, by the
responses, that some have had isolated interactions with Africans or other
people of color.

Your suprise at my virtriol for coded speech is just one example of the
disconnect.

That's because Adder, gangstah is perceived by myself and others as racist
code language.  Not to mention that fact would be doing you and other a
disservice.  For then, how would you know WHY I am so angered at the use of
such verbiage.

C'mon, I've played better computer chess.

Or so you perceive.  You will see what you want to see.  The world, as I
have said many times, is a much different place than you make it to be at
times Adder.  As for a wide group of racist speech users, yes, I would
rather not hear the rubbish.  I think there are some hate groups online
that are btter suited to such discusions.

I found a cool site that gives a free emial address for life.  It's really
cool because you make up the email name and what it does is when people
send email to that address it forwards it to whatever address you have
currently.  So when you change email addresses all the time, this one
always stays the same.  

The address is www.bigfoot.com.  Hope some of you like this.

   People SHOULD take care of their own water but often don't.  One of my
friends always felt bad saying no to people in need of water, and she
didn't mind giving some to them EXCEPT for the whole cold/disease factor.
Her solution:  She invested in squirt bottles, so people could squirt the
water into their mouths, and their lips never touched the top.  She felt
happy sharing and she no longer worried about sickness.

 I agree! Why talk about anything with potential depth and meaning? I

 Yea! Really! I mean we all like to dance; we should all agree with one

 Yep! Sign up them arsonists, violent crime peoples (ya know, wife

 Although I'm probably wrong here, from what I have seen written it is 
the  "gangsta's" semi-threating/gang violence attitude that people really 
don't like. The clothing is fairly incidental (for most  ;).

 Sure! Just smoke some more euphoriant and skip/dodge the difficult 
issues in our lives and at raves. After all, it is the American way.



 I sorta apoligise for the flipness I'm exhibiting in this response. It's 
finals and my brain is doing wierd things. I personally would like to see 
more discussions on tricky, hard to resolve issues that impact the rave 
communitty but would also like to see more thought and less angry, overly 
emotional reactions (from myself as well!!).

My computer tells me that on Mon, 2 Dec 1996, The Grigsbeast shared (in

	Most of us had no hand creating the technology we use, true.  But
it was created by humans, not seagulls or chimpanzees.  It is a recent,
rapid, and unprecedented development in the history of Earth.  
	I appreciate that Grigsbeast may feel that he would be exhibiting
arrogance by calling humanity the most advanced lifeform on the planet.
At least that seems to be a common concern of humans uncomfortable with
the idea of the primacy of our species.
	But the evidence we have points to this being true; surely
speaking truth does not make one arrogant.  "Disrespecting" lower life
forms is perhaps a sign of arrogance, but recognizing that they are lower
is not.
	I believe in a healthy respect for all life, even to the extent of
being uncomfortable doing anything about the ants in my kitchen.  Yet they
are still ants, and I don't hold their lives in the same regard as that
of a creature capable of love, fear, hopes, dreams, aspirations,
appreciation of the beauty around us and abstract thought, i.e. a human
being.  
	And as for the average human leading a "stunningly featureless"
life, well, that's what we have raves for.

Advocate for humanity,

Hi all!  =)


 Some of these threads going on lately (which I've dipped into here and 
there) have brought up some issues for me that I would like to share;

1)   	I am happy to be discussing 'difficult' topics, in relation to raving, 
	on this list with people. I'm a far cry from a perfect 
	communicator (whatever that may be) and these issues and topics 
   	challenge me and my ability to communicate in a manner I like.

2) 	Unfortunanetly, as I'm not perfect (HAH! Had you all fooled!) I tend 
	to fall into patterns of communicating, that I use these 
	oppertunities (on SFraves and elsewhere) to learn to avoid. This is 
	frustrating! However, I feel that the only way to overcome my unwanted 
	methods of communicating is to communicate and take the chance of 
 	sounding like an ass again.

3)	I feel enormously grateful to the human race for coming up 
	with these oppertunities to learn how to increase our ability to 
	communicate with one another. And I am grateful for the tolerence  
	and patience shown by the majority on this list, towards  people like 
	me, who are struggling to be better at communicating.



peace and hugz for all,




Ran @ Dionysus Dreams

Okay...he's got a point here. How would a first-time partyer/raver find
a tight undergroud party? not too likely, eh?  well, it's gotta start
somewhere, and CoolWorld or Funky Tekno (or some of the other massives)
are as good a place as any!

hm.  lemme explain...
here's the World According to Me:
(each being a smaller portion of the previous category)

There's the general American public,
then there's the Partyer-Ravers in the general public,
then there's the Happy Ravers inside that group of Partyer-Ravers,
then there's the Hardcore Spiritual Ravers within that group of Happy
Ravers.

it's not too likely that you could jump categories too easily...Raving
takes some getting used to. MDMA can make the acclimation faster and
easier to understand. I mean, you're probably not going to be able to
take Average Joe Blow from Kokokomo and turn him into a Hardcore
Spiritual Raver overnight. In fact, most "Happy Ravers" couldn't handle
a Spiritual Trance Rave...so why expect that first-timers could
understand an Underground party?

So Cool World serves a purpose, and should be appreciated for that very
reason. If you don't like those types of events, don't go. It's really
that simple.

But as for things "evolving"...

> Evolution is the foundation of our 
> existance.  Nothing ever stays the same, and everything will always 
> change.  get a grip on reality, and flow with it.  Enjoy the things 
> while they last, and cherish the memory.

...I don't think that Cool-World type events are the result of
evolution. In fact, the  "parties still get biger and better" (sic)
because they have stunted their own evolution, pandering instead to the
(general American public) masses who wouldn't recognize Cultural
Evolution if it walked up to them and smacked them in the head with a
ball peen hammer. The Evolution of Raving is happening, but it's at the
other end of the spectrum.

Get real! Forget the Gravitron, the Ferris Wheel, the Ecstasy, the
cigarettes and the erotic fire-breathing dancers.

You know what's not a good cure for insomnia??  Web surfing.  There is a lot
of cool stuff that's easy to find when bandwidth is relatively free...so
here's something that's reall cool.  This morning I chanced upon the site at
www.erowid.com.  It has a lot of info of spirituality, faqs on substance
use, and links to large segments of the rave culture.  Definitely worth
checking out.

I do understand all of your points regarding "soberness" and drugs being 
legal and not legal...  anything that alters your behavior/attitude/etc 
is a "drug"...

	there grey areas inbetween these "drugs" and their effects...

Sorry, what I meant to say is that ravers dont hit on anyone AT A RAVE..
And most of the people in a chill room are people to gone on e. And they
are letting the E get the best of them and they don't care because they
love each other and are together. They may be rubbing each others necks
or whatever, but as long as they are not having sex its cool because they
are enjoying their E properly. If they are having sex at a rave they dont
have any PLUR they have SEX. Thatts not PLUR.
Ravers don't hit on anyone at a rave. They become friends with a person.
I don't know what your talking about comparing people laying on each
other in a chill room to people that have got each others number and are
going to hook up later. Thats a club! You don't hit on anyone at a rave
becuase Its looked down on. I'm sorry you didn't know that, but now you
know.

PLUR,
Paul

And I thought *I* was the lawgiver.  Sheeit lesee what we have from the
mouth of the Holy Raver:

-Sex is not cool at a rave.
-PLUR is not having sex at a rave.
-Ravers don't hit on anyone.
(But they do tend to bug the shit out of gangstahs...as the great OJ
Simpson said "Go figure.")
-Paul knows everything about what it takes to be a raver.
-If you don't know something about raves, Paul is the man to see.  Go
preach that word brotha man, preach!


What we know as well:
-Gangstahs are not welcome at raves.
-You must not show any signs of sexuality.
-E, if taken, must be PROPERLY enjoyed. (huh?)
-Hitting on people at raves is looked down on.  Just ask Paul, the lawgiver.

What we also know:
-John S. Lee is NOT a RAVER!


Yessir!

Damn, some on this list are really getting full of themselves.  Time for an
enema,let the juice flow people, let it flow.  Ahhhhhh!

Out,
John

The lunch is still on for today at 12noon-1pm or whenever you need to get
back. It will be at Pedro's and the directions are as follows

   101 S to Great America Pkwy / Bowers exit Turn left and go over
   highway.
   About the second light down there will be a Marriot on the right.
   Turn right at that light.  (I think it is Mission College or something
   like that.) Second light after that is Freedom.  Turn right.
   Its down a ways on the right.

   101 N to Great America Pkwy /Bowers exit Turn right (don't go over
   highway.)
   The rest of the directions are the same.

You can kinda see it from the hwy 101.


I beleive the reservations are under SFRaves.  Hope to see as many of you
there as possible.

Damn people...I can only wonder with all this yap about what raves are and
are not, who is deciding all of this?  IS there some sort of manifesto?
Why do many of you take your dancing sooooooo seriously?  I mean, aren't
there starving children?

Sheeit, many of you are in school using school accounts, talking about what
is and is not rave.  Probably on the public dole (i.e. student loans that
my working ass *guarantees*) in one form or another when your butts should
be studying.

And all this classification, like everyone is some type of biological
specimen.  I mean all this "Real ravers are...", and the "We don't like
gangsters...", and the "PLUR is all about..."  this is all bullshit.  In
effect it is just another form of segregation.  Yeah, PLUR as long as you
look /act /dance like me.  Yeah, much love as long as you 'follow these
rules'.  Yeah we're all inclusive and everyone is welcome except type A,
type B, type C people.  Bullshit folx.

You know, I *do* wish it were back in the old days.  Why?  We didn't spend
time yapping about who was not included or who couldn't or shouldn't
go...we were waaaay to busy catchin' a groove to pay too much attention to
the other bullshit everyone now places such great value on.

Yep, at one time there were all kinds of people going to parties.  At one
time everyone was invited and accepted.  The second things became a bit
more homogenous did the problems start to happen.

Just my not so humble opinion....back to a more diverse past.  I do miss
raving.  Too bad there aren't any happening anymore.

Later,
John

P.S.  Believe me, there are no more raves.  I don't care what the flyer says.

P.S.S.  It is just a party...can we dance now?  I thought not.

A different perspective perhaps, but *not* the only valid one. Personally,
I find it difficult to believe that some one that is obviously
intelligent could be so narrow-minded and short sighted as to believe that
*they* and one other person on the list out of 400+ members that has valid
thoughts and opinions on this subject.

I absolutely agree. But you don't know my background, do you John? You
don't know the background of most of the people on this list, do you John?
You are making blanket assumptions, that are racially based on your
perception of the constituentcy of this list. 

Also, because someone may not be as well-versed does not invalidate their
opinions, nor does it make them a racist.

I am not suprised by your vitrol John, merely disappointed that seemingly

without looking through the filter of color.

And I, and others, have gone to great lengths to demonstrate that their
use of the term is non-race specific. However, you feel that you are the
only person with a valid opinion on the subject, so everyone else be
damned, we all better stop using the word or we are racist.

And it is a much different place than you make it to be John. The "Great
White Male Bigot" is not around every corner waiting to gleefully opress
someone. There are racists in every community. Hate and ignorance are not
bound by color.

I would rather not hear your racist remarks about white males. Again, the
only one I have seen made an issue of race in this discussion is you 
John. The only one that has mentioned color in making deregatory
remarks is you John. If you wish racism to stop, start with yourself.

Is this a trick question? The people that participated in this survey were
the people on this list, the people that were using the term, and the same
people that explained that this term is not about color. So, I say again,
perhaps you are out of context with which the term is used on this list.

You're welcome.

I suppose that this would depend on whose reality we were discussing. I

your prerogative.

No one is talking about you, John. No one has been talking about you John.
No one has been using this term as a code word for people of color. 

There is nothing to defend, although explanations are warranted given your
perception of this term.

You feel that this term is racist. I, and others using this term, have
explained that nothing racial is meant by the term, and it is used to
describe attitude and not color. You reject this explanation. That is your
prerogative.

John, you made a statement that you would not bash people for their

your own?

Ah, I did not say you did, but that you may. So I am not disappointed.

race when making a deragatory remark is you John.

Paul, I have been a raver since February of '92 and I met my fiance at a
Wicked party two years ago. We didn't hook up at the party, but we did
exchange phone numbers *gasp* and got together for coffee later on that week.
The rest is history. I have a lot of close friends that I have met through
raving and I also met the man who I will be spending the rest of my life
with. I didn't go to Wicked that night with the intention of meeting someone,
but I did and it was the best thing that has ever happened. People go to
raves for a lot of different reasons and no person's reasons are better than
another's. Please don't judge people you don't know. Your email name reads
"plur" meaning peace, love, unity rave. Ravers, I thought,  are supposed to
have open minds and be accepting of new ideas and different kinds of people.
We're all at raves for many of the same reasons. We feel accepted and loved
for who we are. We don't have to prove ourselves to people (or so I thought).
We have the freedom to choose (to be sober or not). We want to experience the
music. I hope that you can practice plur for real sometime.

You asked for qualifications.  I gave you mine, repeatedly.  What are your

Please enlighten me as to your background, and your various interactions
with people of color.  Since you and others have yet to pipe up about your
interactions, I can only assume, byt the nature of yours and others posts
as to what those interactions are.  I can tell you this much, people who
have dealings with people of color on a daily basis in a peer-to-peer
scenario, are a bit more sensitive to the feelings of others.  Something
currently lacking on this list.

So far Adder you are the only one at this point who has mentioned race.
 FYI.

Using racist speech makes one suspect.  You are sitting here, along with
others telling me that a word you chose does not have racists meanings.  i
am here to disagree and tell you that it does.  A community of 400+ has and
will have a difficult time redefining a negative word used in the common
culture.  SOrry, my world is bigger than 400+ people.  The real world is a
bigger and badder place.

A very real filter indeed.  Ask Mc Duffie, Nat Turner, Malcolm X, ML King,
or Rodney King.  I am disappointed that you do not have the capcity to
understand anything other than your own view; through rose colored glasses.

Nope, just more qualified, as I have made great attempts to demonstrate.
You can have whatever opinion you want.  If a memeber of your community
takes offense you can a) ignore them, b) be sensitive and not use the
speech, c) none of the above, d) all of the above.  The choice is yours.  I
will react as appropriate to your choice.

Yes I understand this firsthand sir.  Please don't preach to me about
bigotry and hatred unless you have felt it's nasty sting.  As for racism
and bigotry here on the list., it is well documented. When you stop calling
people names, and start treating them like humans, and stop the
exclusionary bullshit, we can all move along.  If you continue to insist
you have some RIGHT to use a racially charged word, then I will continue to
see the opportunity to correct you and others, and fight the racist speech.

I don't wait for bigots to appear, nor will I hide when they raise thier
ugly faces (or feces as the case might be ;) ).

>
>I would rather not hear your racist remarks about white males.

Please cite the racism in my post.  Either cite it or shut-up.  White
males, or the use of such a term, is not inherently racist.  If you took
offense, please let me know at what, and I'll try to find a suitable code
word.

Stop playing the victimized white male.  You wouldn't know victimization if
it sat on your face.

>Again, the
>only one I have seen made an issue of race in this discussion is you
>John.

The only ones I have seen use the term gangstah are certainly not me.  So
go figure.  Who are those people who use the word gangstah, or doesn't it
matter?  Who is definging or redefining the word?  Or doesn't it matter?

Race is a part of American society, face it, or not, you're living in it,
and you use the terms of opression.  You can call it what you will, I will
not shut up about it until we stop the name calling and start looking at
people as people.  Nothing more or less.

Until then, I will continue to pipe up as long as that term is used.  Part
of free speech is MY ability to respond to things I do not like to hear.
It is a double edged sword.  Use it wisely.

> The only one that has mentioned color in making deregatory
>remarks is you John. If you wish racism to stop, start with yourself.

The only one who uses code words are you and others, stop it and I will
stop in kind.

I also did not call you a racist, but accused people of using racist
speech.  There is a difference.  Unless you know ME Adder, you should watch
who YOU call a racist.  I walk the walk buddy, I walk the walk.

F.A.Y,
John

Puhleeze Adder, you're becoming tedious.  The point was that the results of
the survey would reflect the list.  No kidding.  If people on the list
found nothing wrong with the term I guess I should go in lock-step.  I find
something wrong with it, and I didn't need no damn survey to tell me how I
should feel.  It's a code word, no matter what a damn survey says.

I would advise you not to advise me on good role models.  OJ Simpson was a

No it is a racist term, you would wish it weren't and that nobody

It is called an example.  It was not meant to be directly realted to me,

oft worngheaded) opinions of the list.

It applies to more than this dumb dicussion.

Gangst(er/a)s and Wigg(er/a)s and SFRav(er/a)s :

 First, about my "gangsta/wannabe gangsta" survey of a few weeks
ago - I didn't identify the respondents in my report, and you can see
why, from the recent heat about the topics in the last few
days. If the folks who replied to my original query post
want to email me and tell me their ethnic orientation,I'll post
a summary of that too.

 There was a very interesting article in the "Magazine" tabloid
section of the Sunday, Nov. 10th San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner.
About the attraction of the black gangster rap/hip-hop lifestyle
to non-black youth ( at least the version of that lifestyle that
is sold to non-black youth in tv shows, videos, movies, and musical
recordings ). 

 The article is can be accessed at the Chronicle/Examiner
web site www.sfgate.com -

editions search engine:

to find the Sunday, Nov. 10, 1996 issue of the San Francisco 
Examiner  :

Title: CROSSOVER     By  Venise Wagner    OF THE EXAMINER STAFF

Just two juicy quotes from a very meaty article:

"The rest of America is still deeply divided by race. So how come 
so many white suburban youths want to be black? A special report. "

".... an increasing number of white youth are finding a new sense of 
self in black street life - as portrayed in rap music. Some of them 
are kids from the suburbs who dabble and pose as gangsta 
wannabes. Others are white youths living in the ghetto, from the 
Tenderloin, Potrero Hill or Hunter's Point, forced to wear the 
Teflon stares of the streets.In the hip-hop world, they're called 
wiggers (sometimes spelled wiggas), an East Coast term coined 
for white youths who try to act black. Initially derisive, for some 
it is now a badge of honor, just as some blacks revel in calling =
themselves niggas. (Fact is, the n' word has reached color blind 
status in the hip-hop world, where whites, Filipinos, Samoans, 
Latinos and blacks freely trade it with and about each other, 
regardless of their racial identity.) "


 Goddam kids these days ...     >=(   

Larry Ching / larryc@netcom.com

PS - I first saw the term "wigger" in a satirical piece by the National
Lampoon, dated sometime in the late 70's.

PPS - So, are you an "SFRava" ? If you feel you are, please explain why
      you are...

 And most of the people in a chill room are people to gone on e. And they
 are letting the E get the best of them and they don't care because they
 love each other and are together. They may be rubbing each others necks
 or whatever, but as long as they are not having sex its cool because they
 are enjoying their E properly. If they are having sex at a rave they dont
 have any PLUR they have SEX. Thatts not PLUR.
 Ravers don't hit on anyone at a rave. They become friends with a person.
 I don't know what your talking about comparing people laying on each
 other in a chill room to people that have got each others number and are
 going to hook up later. Thats a club! You don't hit on anyone at a rave
 becuase Its looked down on. I'm sorry you didn't know that, but now you
 know. >>

I don't know about you buddy, but when i go to a rave i think about it as one
huge dating game!!! Everyone is so gone off their asses that they will say
yes to everything and before you know it you have more dates then Palm
spring.(Palm springs has a lot of date trees!)
You are writing some pretty heavy shit, I know this has been said before but
before you post about what a raver is, remember everyone has their own
OPINION on what a raver is, so please don't asssume everyone thinks like you

jonathan, you are so right!

It's really ridiculous to assume that "ravers do this" or "ravers don't do
that." I consider myself a "raver" (whatever THAT means.. =P ) and yet I
have met people who I've been VERY into at raves, and yes, I've "hit on"
them... sometimes while sober, mind you, so remeber it isn't always an "e"
thing. I don't see how we can totally seperate ourselves from our human
nature while at a party, and I see NOTHING wrong with letting someone know
you're interested in them if you are.

I don't think hitting on people is looked down upon... I think being
disrespectful is looked down upon. Often, people are considered
disrepectful when they are unnecessarily forward or one-track-minded (I've
been on the recieving end of this kind of rude behaviour, so I'm well aware
of how annoying and off-putting it can be) at parties, which I think SHOULD
be looked down upon, but if you think so-&-so is a hottie and you can
express that to him/her gracefully without being boorish or insulting, then
why impose some kind of un-enforceable rule on yourself by saying that
"ravers don't do that."



I'm not EVEN going to add to the gangsta thread... gee whiz, people, stop
snapping! when threads like this go on THIS long, I get the uncomfortable
feeling that no one really cares about the subject anymore, they just want
to get the "last word." Now THAT'S disrespectful... I mean, we've driven
sherry (mhg) off the list with this mindless complaining; shouldn't it have
ended there? she deserves a fatty apology.

take care,
-m.

I am very sorry, but I think this statement is really stupid.  Why wouldn't
ravers hit on other ravers at a rave?  For me, raves are what I do for fun,
and majority of people I meet is at raves.  And if I didn't have a
boy-friend, and if I liked somebody at the rave (and of course had guts to
do it) I would hit on people I liked....

I met my boy-friend Marc at Sunset, and we talked couple brief times at
couple Sunsets, and that's how we hooked up - after Sunset :).  That is
people's most liked day-party, so I guess it can be classified as a rave.
I also know a bunch of people who hooked up at raves in chill rooms and
ended up going out for a while.

I think what this is turning out to be is moral issue rather than "what
real ravers" do.  Also, ways people hit on other people is different.  Some
people are smart about it, and they find out if there is any potential,
while others just go for it ignoring the signs of rejection.  Some people
have hard time going out with their friends, and the idea of meeting
somebody, hitting it off, starting going out and getting to know them is
way more appealing than the other way around (this is from personal
experience).  I am not saying that I would like the atmosphere at raves to
be like it is in clubs "let's see if I can get laid" kind of thing, but if
we can't be who we are something is wrong with that.

I really hope I don't break up with Marc any time soon, because I am sure I
will be looked down on considering that if
- I am single
- I meet somebody at the rave
- I think things could work out
- I am brave
=> I will hit on that person :)

I guess that's cool - maybe I am not a "raver" - whatever that means :P.

My opinion on this,
*B*

Last year I did a research paper on LSD and was surprised to find a couple
recent articles about it.  Of course most of the experiments are on rats
and such much still very interesting work is being done with illegal drugs.


You just have to look for them.  There are a lot of neat, IMHO, science
journals out there, you just need the time to read them all and you'll run
across some very interesting stuff, amidst some other pretty boring stuff.

No, actually you have done nothing of the sort. Let's look at the question

Your qualifications are that you say you know gangsters. Does this
give you a better insight into what a "true gangsta" is? Perhaps. Does
this give you a more valid opinion on whether or not the term
"gangsta/er/ah" is racist? Nope.

John, go reread your response to my question. You absolutely and
unequivocally stated that youreslf and one other person on the list were
the only ones qualified to speak on this subject.

John, I would be more than happy to, if I thought for a minute that it
would change your mind in the least. However, no matter what my
background, no matter what the level of interaction with people of color I
have had and currently have, it would never be enough to satisfy you, and
would just be another thing for you to attempt to pick apart.

Negative word? Yes.
Used in common culture? Yes.
Racist? No.

You have done absolutely nothing to prove your point. You have done
nothing to show that the word is used in a racist context.

No, you did not ask whther or not my opinion was more valid.  Maybe you 
should re-read the question.  You asked if I was more qualified to speak 
on the subject.  I have answered that question.  You are now engaging in 
tedious argument.

And that is what you asked.  I do not think mine is the only valid 
opinion.  I do say that I and a few others are more qualified to talk 
about the subject.  Sheeit, everyone can have an opinion.  But not 
everyone is qualified.  You drew the line, not me.

You're projecting, and as usual you did not answer the 
question/challenge.  You can assume what you wish, I gave you the 
opportunity to clarify, and I can be swayed.  But as usual, you stop the 
opportunity than embrace it.  I see you just want to argue.

The point is I took offense.  I need not go any farther than that in a 
decent society, whatever that is.  I now SFRaves may not be such a place 
on the whole, but I do know there are plenty who know what the f*ck I'm 
talking about.  No matter how clueless you and others want to pretend to be.

And you have done nothing to show my racist comments.  damn you bait and 
switch alot my man.

Sorry I live in the real world, deal with real issues and people.  Have 
beena ffected by the society and see it for what it is.  However, it does 
not taint me for I go to work each day.  i still think humanity has a 
chance, and despite what you and others might think of me, I am very 
color blind.  My son and my life are a testament to this fact.  My Jewish 
heritage, albeit adopted, is furhter proff.  As I said before my friend, 
I walk the walk.

I live a pluralistic life, with people of all backgrounds and pursuaions, 
Muslims, Jews, Christians, black, white, asian, and everyone else.  I got 
friends, friends, friends, and love all of them.  Not becuase they are 
like me, but because they are idffernt than I.  I am sensitive to each of 
them, and it is hard.  But I would rather be a gentleman sesntive to 
others, than to run roughshod over thier feelings all for the sake of my 
expression.

It's called respect.  Maybe you should give some, you might get some in 
return.

Peace out,
John

Yeah there is.  Do that PLUR thing and really mean it.  I think that is a

This is indeed getting tired.

How can it be a code word, when the people that have used it have
explained that they have applied it not on the basis of color, but of
attitude, and they have applied it to whites also?

This is exactly my point. He was a great football player. I am sure
hundreds of years from now, all of society is going to be indebted to the
great sport stars in our history for their overwhelming contributions to
the cause of humanity.

I am happy to explain my use of the word to you, given your perception
that the word is racist, and mine that it is not. 

And you should know better than to make that last remark, of course I
still see racist speech.

And I reject your interpretation of the word. And if sometime in the
future I use the word on this list, I will again happily explain that I do
not apply this word based on race.

I take this as many of the white males on this list are saying racists
things.

> >> >> But then, white males have been labelling things for centuries.

What is the point of this? Just another jab at people based on their
color.

Of course this is all "matter of fact" to you, but this makes it no less
deragatory. 

The last part of your message got garbled, so not quite sure what you
said....

Really, I don't know if it makes much difference. You believe one thing, I
believe another. We are not going to agree on this.

so, John, are you saying that using the term "gansta" is a racial slur?

I just want to understand.  Your posts are filled with so much anger that 
your points aren't as clear.

 Sorry but no. Mantra is the first friday of every month (this friday

First off, I am not angry.  Not yet that is, but give me a few days.  
I'll get there.

Yessir, I am saying that using the term gangstah to describe people is 
racially charged.  Especially within the context it is often used on this 
list.

I would like it to stop.

I take great offense.  It is just like some caucasian person who tries to 
"re-define" the racially charged word n****r so that he can use it ad 
nauseam.

I just want the name calling to stop.  Either it will cease, or I will 
not shut up.  I think we can find different ways to describe people that 
do not have the "vibe", rahter than resorting to devisive name calling, 
such as gangstah.

>From all that I have read, explanation after explanation, I *do* 
understand that many mean nothing by it.  Just like the guy the other day 
who called me colored.  He meant nothing by it, it is just a term he uses 
to describe people with my melanin rich skin content (a real belssing 
IMO! :) :) ).  But I took offense and let him know it was not 
appropriate.  He did not try to explanin waht he meant, he said sorry, 
and I have yet to hear him utter the term again.  Nice, easy resolution.  
And he never resorted to using PLUR or other slogans.  He just realized 
someone was offended, offered and apology, and now watches what he says 
and is aware of the charged nature of the word.  I said nothing more to 
him of it, and I have ha plenty of conversations with him about many 
things, race not being one of them.  That is only for my close friends. ;)

All I ask is that people be considerate of others feelings.  I don't call 
women bitches or hoes.  Why?  It is disrespectful.  Are my points so 
important as to make others uncomfortable for the sake of me expressing 
my opinion in vitriol and devisive words?  No, nothing is really that 
important.  People are important, and how they feel is important, and how 
they view themselves in our world and thier place in it is of utmost 
importance.

Gangstah reduces people to object level.  Just like n****r, just like 
bi*ch, and h*e.  Why use them  I think the people on this list, with all 
thier education can come up with other words to describe people they have 
problems with.  I have always thought humans to be better than that.

But I am always disappointed.

Anyway, I am not angry.  Furious?  Maybe.  Pissed-off?  Sometimes.  But 
not angry.... :)  <- now are you seeing this...I mean this ok? (geez)

Anyway that's about it for me.

Peace out,
John

	We humans *in our complete and total objectivity* consider a high ratio
of brain size to body size and the ability to make and use tools the main 
criteria for how "advanced" a species is. 

	Strangely enough, other species have totally different criteria. 
For giraffes, it's mostly length of the neck. The marine mammals consider
the ability to hold the breath underwater for a long time quite significant.

	Many plant species feel that if you can't maintain a perfect meditative
state indefinitely while synthesizing your own food from sunlight and taking in
only what water and minerals the universe sends you, you are a troglodyte.

But that is not what you stated originally, at all. From you and Geoff as
the only people qualified to speak on the subject, we have gone to yours
is not the only valid opinion but you and a few others are more qualified.
At least that's a start. You still have not given any qualifications that
make your opinion on whether the use of the word is racist more valid than
any other persons.

John, I don't think in the same way you do. I don't view everything as
color. I don't like to, because that is not what I feel things are about.
But since you insist on me explaining my background in your paridigm I
will: 

Childhood:
 
Military brat(my father was an enlisted man, not an officer.) The military
is indeed very racially mixed, and a lot of places that I lived were
military housing, where I played with all kinds of people. My best friend
for 3 years was Damian, who was black.

We moved from Germany back to Sausalito, where I went to Martin Luther
King Junior High, a predominately black school.

My father got out of the military, and I moved to the canal district of
San Rafael, which is primarily latino and asian-pacific islanders. 
Best friends for the 2 years I was there were Benji, a black guy, and
Alecia, a white girl. 

Moved to Fairfield.  Fairly white-bred neighborhood. Went to high-school
at Fairfield high. Hung out in the Drama dept. known as the "drama freaks"
in high-school lingo. Pretty diverse group of people. Best friend for the
first couple of years was a guy named Kelvin, who happened to be asian. 
My high-school sweetheart was Debbie, who is Mexican.

Graduated high school, got a job, yadda yadda. Moved all over the place in
Sac, Davis, Dixon, S.F., and back to Fairfield, off of Deleware, where one
could softly fall asleep to the sounds of gunshots. The neighborhood is
of mixed nationality. Got to see lots of XIV crap, and the people like the
color blue.

Currently I live in a predominately Latino neighborhood in Concord.

There. Are you happy now John? 

I'm not. I *HATE* thinking in these terms John. These are not the terms
that I think or live in. I cannot express to you the intensity with which
I abhor thinking of places I have been, and people I have interacted with
in terms of color. I really would hate to be you.

I am done with this discussion. This is your chance for the last word. Go 
for it, I will not respond. 

I will continue to use whatever language I wish, you can take it whatever
way you wish, despite explanations to the contrary. What I will not do is
limit myself, or force myself to view the world in terms of peoples race
as I have been forced to do in this form. It disgusts me. You do that
John. Keep on being angry. When your done, look at some of the words you
have written that talk about unity and try applying them, *TO EVERYONE*

I understand how people use it.  I also understand that outside the list 
it is a code word.  So, how do we reconcile realities?

Or at least the neverending cause of cutlery.

I mean, that sneak attack was brilliant.  First he cut up two people 
cause he was pissed.  Next he sneaked atacked the jury by using a racist 
cop to dismantle any argument of evidence against OJ. And he sneaked 
attacked humanity cause we still talk about the shit.  And he's still free!

Straight Jackin', the way only a human can do!

Like I said, how do we reconcile realities.  This extends beyond our 
current discussion, but I think as we approach such subjects there is a 
disconnect.  What is real and valid, and what is not?  Where are the 
lines AND who draws them?

Answer this:
-Who redefined the word.  head count please larry.
-Who , in past posts, uses or has used it?  demographics someone?

I beleive I have the answer, which is why I made the statement in the 
first place.  Like I said, if I was wrong then indicate so.  I do not see 
how my citing facts as to who uses what words, and who redefines them as 
racist.  I am not the one trying to label anyone, I just would like 
poiple to stop calling people THEY DON'T KNOW names.  And perhps these 
are inappropriate names to begin with.

Who uses terms are just as important as who they're directed at.

>

I have private correspondence, citing racist lnaguage and phrases, sexit 
shenanigans, to name a few.  Cultural insensitivity abounds.  Now of 
course, you and others may not see wht I see, hear what I hear, or live 
my life.  But that does not make the circumstances any less real or invalid.

This list is a microcosm of our bay area.  The bay areas demographics 
have changed, certainly.  But those with the technology and the know how 
has not changed.  

I do not hold anyone to a litmus test.  You are who you are.  I do expect 
though that since we've all partied together at some point, at some time, 
that we would begin to see eahc other as humans, and not degrade to name 
calling or categorizations.  I have seen plenty.

When this scene was more diverse, and yes less white than it is now, 
there was not all this talk of gangsters, bad 'tude and such.  I saw all 
kinds of motherfuckers at parties.  Many of whom fit the descripotion 
that is used here; gangstah.  And you know something, I never witnessed 
an incident.

I have witnessed people jumping on decks fighting the DJ.  I have 
witnessed people so blissed out they couldn't walk.  I have heard stores 
of sexual abuse and other rubbish.  And I must say, the perpetrators do 
not fit the "gangstah" description.  They are/were regular party people, 
or so they seemed.

I see people on the list pass great judgement against others for nothing 
more than they aren't in the same headspace, and thus they must be a such 
and such.  Don't you see what you're becoming?  Is THIS is what 
raves/parties is all about?  Is it THAT important for you and others to 
classify those who do not fit your neat mold so that you can somehow feel 
better or superior to those you reject, or are different than you?

It's really not at all, that much about race, as it is respect.  respect 
for other humans whose lives might be vastly differnet than your own.  
Hell, if most of the folx on the list were paying attention to the music 
and thier feet, they wouldn't notice WHO was crossing thier arms or 
vibing.  Why pay 5-$20 to go to a party and pay attnetion to not the 
music, but who ain't dancing?  Is this  high school or something?

I dunno.  FFOr weeks I was silent as this list wne ton and on about 
gangstah this and that.  Sheeit, and the lot of you, many of you, don't 
have any basis for comparison.  You just all jump on the "we're better 
than THEY are" bandwagon and hitch a ride.  Yep, really plur, really 
rave...really whatever.

If you, or the group spent as much time getting organized and presenting 
a political or some other force, you wouldn't be gobbling for spaces, for 
money for spaces, against cops, against promoters, etc.

But no, we got plenty of time to decide who and what is gangstah and who 
is not.

Who is dancing and who is not.

Who is judging and who is not.

What we're not doing is having a good time.  We ain't dancing because:
-You hate circle dancers (sheeit, they if nobody else has kept this sorry 
ass scene alive).
-You hate people who don't hug and smile.
-You hate those that don't embrace some rave ethic even you don't follow.
-You hate them cuz they ain't like us.

The only thing I can think that most people on the list like is people 
like themselves.  So much for a viable scene, since it was built on the 
foundation of sameness in dance, not sameness of culture.  Common or 
otherwise.

The point:  It is a mtter of historical fact that white males have done a 
greta job at pigeonholing as much as they can.  Even the concept of race 
is rooted deep in european history.  Many of our modern concepts of race 
sprang from the minds of brilliant european scientist, who spend 
centuries traveling, spreading disease, and catalogging as much as they 
could.  It's not a jab, just another point at which realities cross.  As 
the forefatthers did, so do thier sons and duaghters.

Certainly not ALL are guilty, and my comments are for those who badny 
such terms and code words around.  Not everyone is guilty, which is why I 
am very careful to limit my the population to this list.

I really do like everyone, until they fuck me over.  I got friends from 
all over, and everyone that I've met in SF, to date, has been really 
cool.  The coolest thing about my experiences here is that none of my 
friends look remotely the same.  That is where I'm coming from Adder.  I 
hate nobody, and I am not a racist.  

You use speech to categorize people, I then inform you that this is in 
context with present and past european thought.  Is that racist or is 
that a fact?

You're right.  We may never agree.

that's cool Adder.  Once again, we must agree to disagree on this issue.  
Suffice it to say it has not been the first time it has happened, nor the 
last.

I do take solace though that when the moon is right, you, I, and others 
agree.  It might happen less often, but it does happen.  And I see that 
opportunity as manna from heaven.

Why?  Because, in the end, everyone on this list, really deep underneath 
the melanin fakeout, we all want the same thing.

Like I asked before...when in the next party?

Peace,
John

I stand corrected.  Anyway, as I have said before, I am qualified,  
Unless you know have met, or hung with gangstahs, you are not.  You can 
have all the opinions you want, and that is cool.  But unless they are 
based in fact, it is nothing more than a stereotype.

Oh yeah, IMO, of course.

It is how words are perceived.  And perceptions often differ to intentions.

Adder, you don't know how I think.  The only thing you know is that I 
think the word gangstah is derrogatory for racially historical reasons.

(P.S.  thanks Adder)

I did not ask you to define your friends in terms of color.  That was up 
to you.  If you were to say I had a variety of friends, that would've 
been enough.  If you were to say to me I have friends from many different 
places and backgrounds, that would have been sufficient.

As time goes on, our country will stop thinking in racial terms, we are 
not there yet.  You may be the first Homo Nova come to think of it, so 
you may very well be well ahead of the curve.  I do admire your thought 
process though and am respectful of it.  I also know others, and many in 
society do not think in such terms.  And as long as they are in power, 
they will be defining the terms.  As long as they define the terms, we 
will be left to figure or fight it out.  In the long run, the concept of 
race will not last.

As for hating to be me, I wouldn't know.  I'm having to good of a time 
being John S. Lee that I wouldn't know what it felt like to hate myself.  
My ego is too large, my ways too flamboyant, my mind to vast, to limit 
myself to such an emotion of hatred, much less for myself.

I am very glad to be me, every day I wake up and breathe (A real gift 
considering all the club abuse to my lungs).

Peace out, and next time Adder, don't be so pensive.  Talk to me for 
g_d's sake, and tell me how you really feel! ;)

Peace out my man,
John

I see.  Please do not limit yourself, I would not ask you to do so.  And 
if you're going to check out so thoroughyl from the outside view, why not 
stop using terms used by the world so couched in race.  Come up with your 
own word for an undesirable with an attitude.


> You do that
> John. Keep on being angry.

I am not angry.  That is your limited perception from your limited view 
of who I am.  You just keep on shutting out the world, create a new one, 
and limit yourself out of the one you checked out of some time ago.

I will and have and do.  Maybe you should walk the walk sometimes and get 
some sensitivity instead.

There are, after all, more worlds than your own.  Deal with it.

Out,
John

Ok, when i go to a party i find that the people (my friends) and the music
and space all are what keeps me going. Im just trying to find out why other
people are drawn to what we call Raves. I find(since i don't imbibe in drugs,
beside's pot) that I can get high of other people who are high. Wierd I know,
but if everyone Im with is on E, i tend to get happy and feel really good.
I'm not really affected much by the people. If there are hoodlums there that
doesn't bug me, and if there are a bunch of candy ravers that doesn't bug, I
just make the most of it. SO if we could just get a comment from people here
on Sfraves as to what makes the party for you, i think we could get a better
understanding of each other!!! K? Good! = )

However, given its destructive impact on the rest of the Earth (we've
already taken out about a third of the existing species on the planet),
and the consequent impact on our _own_ future ability to survive, I
don't think that we are entirely justified in calling ourselves
"higher".  Rapid, unprecedented, yes; but not "higher".

Your second sentence shows that you're assuming the truth of your
argument.  Again, we've had more _impact_ in a shorter time than any
other species we know about, but that doesn't equate to "primacy" or
being "higher".  Is a chainsaw "higher" than a beaver because it can
cause more damage in less time?

There's nothing wrong with arrogance so long as you can back it up. 
Representing a value judgment as truth, however, is not arrogance, it's
misrepresentation.

> "Disrespecting" lower life forms is perhaps a sign of arrogance, but 
> recognizing that they are lower is not.

"Lower" is a value judgement, by which you disrespect.  If I said you
were lower than I, what would be your reaction?

It's easy to say a label isn't prejudicial when you're not the one being
labelled.  Funny how this ties in with the gangsta thread.

I agree with you here.  Raves are a good start towards reclaiming our
desires and emotions for ourselves.

 Well, the pro wrestling world is full of 300 lb guys acting out
comic book caricatures of various pop cultural stereotypes - 
I'm scaring myself with the mental image of one of these monsterously
huge guys dressed in "raver" uniform, entering the ring to the
sound of a Chemical Brothers tune...

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER....... i Don't think so. Idon't call Homies,

company."

 BINGO..... You hit it right on the spot Production "COMPANY".There in it
for the money. They don't care if anyone is having fun.

                  "CW believes that people are brought together by
music."

How is this possible? All the non ravers at CW Raves excuse me, let me
rephrase myself CW carnivals are brought together by doing "E" 

	    " and yet the parties still get biger and better."  

Yeah BIGGER And WORSE

                    " Coolworld has brought more first time ravers into
this sceen"

NO sorry those "first time ravers"  1. aren't ravers. 2. Don't know the
first thing about a rave or PLUR or what should go on at a rave. 3. Don't
spread love, and ruin the vibe. 4. mac on girls/guys. 5. ASK YOU TO
DANCE. (personal experience)

	" should get some apreciacion, and respect for their eforts"

What efforts? I don't see how they are making things better. Us ravers
are always trying to prove and show others that we are not bad and all we
do is drugs and dance all night. Because that is not what we are about.
And CW shows the world that we are bad and we do drugs, have orgys, and
promott violence. These are all things I've seen at CW parties.

	"Okay...he's got a point here. How would a first-time
partyer/raver

	>massives)"
	>are as good a place as any!

That's the whole point of an underground party. Us ravers have to throw
and attend underground parties. So we can keep our scene real. And based
on our morals.

	".Raving
	takes some getting used to. .so why expect that first-timers
could
	understand an Underground party?"

My point being... The majority of first time people that attend CW
parties get the wrong idea and continue on to other parties with this
sense of not knowing anything whatsoever about PLUR.

 	" If you don't like those types of events, don't go. It's really
	that simple."

Exactly why I don't . Besides I'd rather go to a $10 - $15 RAVE and have
fun and sread love and enhance the vibe for people who care. And meet new
ravers. and dance all night long. And give and recieve candy and
stickers. 
Then go to a CW CARNIVAL, and pay $25-$35 , and  get bumpped into and
pushed with no "sorry, or excuse me" in return. Friends get bunk "E" I
for one do not do drugs or promott any at all. But I do have friends that
do. Have to worry about if I'm smilling at the wrong person and they
might want to kick my ass for it. Worry about some guy grabbing me or my
ass. Trying to watch my favorite Dj "Carlos" performe and am knocked to
the floor by some guys next to me who are fighting over god knows what.
Crowed hallways where you have to squeeze by and there is at least a 10
min wait to get by. Because people are not considerate and don't know how
to walk. Being rejected when asking for a sip of water. Circle dancing.
Other people who are  eing really hard and trying to clown you on
dancing. Naked people walking around. Girls trying to impress guys on
tucking their shirts under their bras or just wearing their bras. Friends
being called gay or a fag because he has stickers and a elmo backpack.
Vendding machines. Popcorn ???????? Jumping Dragons, amusment rides. If
wanted to hear Angelina, Ruffneck or Foxy brown , I'd rather turn on my
radio. CW is missing the whole point of what a rave is about. They just
see a bigger party means more people and then their eyes are filled
greed.

	" Evolution is the foundation of our 
 	existance.  Nothing ever stays the same, and everything will
always 
	 change.  get a grip on reality, and flow with it.  Enjoy the
things 
	 while they last, and cherish the memory."

Haven't you noticed things change for the better not for the worst so as
we think. CW is changing for the worst.

	"Get real! Forget the Gravitron, the Ferris Wheel, the Ecstasy,
the
	cigarettes and the erotic fire-breathing dancers."

How can you forget about those things their staring you right in the
face. I'm sorry I can't forget about things or not notice things that do
not belong at a Rave. So in conclusion I don't want you to think that I'm
saying that only ravers can attend a rave. I beleive that anyone can
attend a rave as long as they don't ruin the vibe and they  spread love.
Ravers would never exclude anyone. were always open to new things and
people. But all we ask is that if you do attend a rave and know nothing
of this subject. Just to respect us and the vibe. See I feel that a rave
is a place where I can express my emotions and feelings through dance. A
rave is my world and the other ravers that surround me. When I enter a
rave I leave myself at the door and enter as a new person. I feel that
everyone who attends a rave is reborn into the rave and will always
experience new things and people. So If you ever go to another country,
city, planet, and you don't anything about it, are you going to just
screw things up and disrespect the people? NO. of course not. That's all
I'm asking for non ravers to do to respect us as if we were another city,
state, planet. And get to know us in a way that is not affecting anyone
eles. Thank for your time. 
PLUR and keep the underground alive.
See you all at Freaky People Dec. 13 Harmony production 
Love always Victoria

I agree with jonathan here, that everyone has a different opinion as to 
what makes a rave. I also agree that it's incredibly easy to get high 
off of the people around you, and I know it's happened to me even if 
everyone around me (including myself) is sober! 
	There's something about everyone coming together to appreciate the 
music and the vibe, and also all the beautiful people that I just can't 
get enough of. Some people go to raves for music, some go for the 
people, some go because they're curious, some go because they want to be 
"cool," some go in search of a new type of family. Everyone has a 
different reason, but the fact is that everyone's there to enjoy 
themselves, NOT to start shit. At least I should hope this is the case. 
	Everyone has the right to go to a rave and enjoy it. They don't 
necessarily (sp?) have the right to ruin other people's nights. But how 
do you determine who's ruining the night for who? No one RUINS a rave 
unless they come up to you and start shit. "Gangstas" (or whatever they 
are, don't ask me i don't wanna get into the flamewar) dont ruin a rave 
for me by just being there. If they were to walk by me and say something 
rude, i could even ignore that. A word or two can't ruin my night. but 
if they were to start harassing me and kick my ass, i can see myself 
having a problem with that. BUT it's never happened, to me at least. 
They've respected my space and right to be at a rave, and i've respected 
theirs. 
	I've felt intimidated, yes, but it's ignorable during a phat set, or by 
being surrounded by friends, but how am I to know that *i* don't 
intimidate them for some reason or another? What makes *me* so much 
better than them? What if they're really GREAT and NICE people,  they 
just don't feel like smiling at the moment or all night? Instead of 
saying that a certian "type" of person doesn't belong at a rave, maybe 
we should try to DEAL with the fact that they are there, ignore them, or 
try to UNDERSTAND where they're coming from, and get on with life, 
instead of complaining, flaming, and getting all tense. They're not 
going to leave just because we complain.  And maybe if we show some 
understanding towards them, they won't seem as intimidating, and they 
might understand us more as well, and things won't be so "bad" anymore. 
	Remember, we're all ***individuals*** trying to live life and enjoy it.
But then again, that's just me..

	This is going to happen soon away because no factions of 
electronic music seem to be able to get along. People who like house 
complain about all the trance and techno out there. People who like 
trance seem to ONLY like trance. I like gabber but I wouldn't want to go 
to a party that played onlly gabber every weekend. I think I might do it 
now just because I cannot find any place that will allow it to be played. 
So nobody tolerates anyone who likes something different. As spaces 
become sarce, how long will it be before the groups start fighting over 
who will get to use a space? That seems silly now with all the peace and 
love people preach, but I wonder where that love will be when there is no 
place to have parties...

Were massives like the ones in '92 '93 or so like "Sharon" and "Tune Town"
looked down upon (by the underground or others) as much as the massives of
today?  I wasn't raving back then, but did go to a Sharon once.  It was at
the Concourse...totally massive.  Bouncy castles, human gyroscope thingy,
amongst other things.  The dj was raised up several feet above the croud.
It was my first massive, and I had a wonderful time.  Other people seemed
like they were into it as well, but honestly, I knew nothing of vibe back
then so I'm not really sure.   Let me know.

I don't feel that the massives were the same as they were back in 90-93.  I
went to alot of the Sharons etc., and it was a way different vibe.  People
would dress in costume and there were lots of different people around that
actually got together!  Its just not the same as it used to be.  I'm not
saying that it should be the same cause times change and so do scenes and
people!

Take care,

Since so many have asked.  Look at how the mass media uses the term.  
Look at how the police use the term, look at how seciurity guards use the 
term.  It is a term which usually denotes people of color, who through 
dress or style of dress, type of clothes worn, or colors worn, are 
supposed to signify some memebrship in a group of thugs commonly known as 
gangs.  It is often delivered arbitrarily, to any black or brown, and now 
yellow (if I may use that term, forgive me) youth who sport such 
clothing.  The attititude is usually the glue that seals the impression.

It is also a term used widely in the hip-0hop world, almost exclusively 
by those who "try" to be "real" (whatever that is).  Adopting the ways of 
violence to show that one is not a part of the mass culture, but part of 
a subculture, whose attitudes towards life is one of slef-fullfillment 
through being hard.

How about assholes, since evryone has one.  How about people with bad 
attitudes, since everyone at one time shares those.  I am sure if you put 
some thought into it, there are plenty of words other than gangsta that 
would fit the bill.

And that in itself is part of the problem.,  We don;t know who is on the 
other end.  It makes being insensitive easy, as well as being offended.
This virtual shit is no godsend.  Just a tool, that has the potential of 
providing communication.

[ to sfraves ]

 I'm going to try to get my thoughts together and write a mini-essay
about what I'm thinking about, but I'll try it out on you folks in
an abbreviated form:

1. Ravers want to feel safe at a rave ( no fag bashing, robbery, 
   fighting, ridicule, etc. ) - esp. important if on psychedelics.
2. Being mostly folks whom high school is a present reality or
   fresh memory, ravers want to avoid parties with the kind of folks
   that cause(d) them pain and trouble on and off campus.
3. 1 + 2 == "Nonravers" don't get invited to the "good" raves.  

 If anyone has any opinions on the hypotheses I've made above, please
email them to me!

 Larry Ching / larryc@netcom.com

PS - I like the daytime public park raves the best, because the public
 can watch and participate. Safety factor is higher than at night, given
the light and park rangers and police and the visiblity of everyone.

	Ok, I dress in jeans that fit with a little bit of slack and throw
on T shirts that look like they might be from the Gap or Sears, some are
actually from LL Bean or from my skating days 6 years ago (damn they still
fit) or from concerts that long ago or from ski clubs that gave free
shirts. I have half my head shaved and now the other half is dreaded. I
wear Tevas or hiking boots on my feet. I throw on woolly socks and my
North Face fleecy pullover that I put a thick cotton shirt inside of for
the hood when it gets cold. I lost my gray stove top wool from Pakistan
hat but mysteriously, a new red one appeared in my coffin after a party,
so now it is red.... 

	What does that make me? A raver? A hippie (I do not have any 
dayglow)? An average joe? A crusty (shit, I took a shower yesterday, 
scratch that one)? A saracistic bastard (now that one I might just like)?

	I do not wear glitter, do not like being stuck with stickers, 
wear a lighter around my neck with my orange whistle on it (but I hide it 
under my shirt because I do not like people knowing I have it). I do not 
always have a big grin on my face but I probably am not scowling...

	What colors do I have now?

	I dance when the music is heavy and stompy kinda like Red 3 by
Dave Clarke or Sublime by Chirstian Vogel or whatever the hell that track 
was by intimidator on 25 of twisted vynil. I dance when it is trancy but
still has more of a kick drum than a click. I pull speakers out into the
woods or around in the rain and stick a flashlight in my mouth when they
aren't working right so my hands are free. I love a kickdrum you feel
pushing through you at a speed where you are almost controrted to dance in
way that would do well to be hold a spear in one hand, a shield in the
other, and be stomping around a big bonfire - but maybe with synths in the
back to drag emotional energy into the whole thing.... 

	So does this make a raver? I don't have the baggies, my jeans fit 
too normally. I suppose the hair makes me a dj in SF, as does the lack of 
a big smile (hmmm, or was that two years ago). Basicly, it makes me a

ok people, I am wanting to meet all of you.  This weekend, I will be at
X-Files on friday night and Karma on Saturday night.  If you are going to
either or both of these parties E-Mail me so I can talk to you there.  You
may already know who I am, but don't realize that I am on the list =) 
Anyway.  Try and maintain a level of peace on here, isn't that what we are
all about, the fact that our scene is set for love of one another.  And
this whole this on sterotypes makes me sad =(  I mean people have us
(ravers) sterotyped, why should we doing it back to the opressers of our
society???  Please have a wonderful Wednesday night/Thursday/Friday day,
and party of Friday night :-)  Can't wait to meet all of you happy people.
Peace, love, and Harmony,
Eric Vandenbroek

I agree 100%. Since I had a bad trip while on shrooms (not *that* bad, 
but I was very much looking for people to make me happy and couldn't 
find any at the rave :( ) I've decided to be someone at raves that 
makes people have good trips...

I'm also afraid of leaving my stuff at raves... I feel as if people
will search through my stuff, get my water, etc. ALso depends on how
big the rave is.

Hummm.... I guess you are right on this one, the people that go to 
"good" raves I've noticed aren't like the people I've seen at "bad" raves...

I'd be very careful about defining a "raver," or defining any "type" of
person whatsoever.  It can be very devisive.  I am many, many things, but
first, and foremost, I am glad I am not only ONE thing.  That's the beauty
of being human.  Tolerance for different perspectives is very important in
life.  I know, I'm trying EVERY FUCKING day.

Just be careful about narrowly defining what is and isn't a category of
people.  Humans aren't categories, we're humans, and we come with all our
faults in tow.  But, we are also unique, so NO ONE fits into a
category.

Just comments,

I am sure that if Cool World had intentions of being a brothel they would
seize your date at the door so that they could sell you a new one once you
got inside. :-)

I think that Cool World will be a really "cool" thing to do for pre-club
aged kidz who have not yet found a real rave. If you aren't in that
category then you probably shouldn't go.

I am VERY curious to learn your views on this!

And I wish we could have gotten to this point much sooner, since I think 
this is really the rub.

BUT, instead of speculation, I'd like to propose a real research project. 
 I'm going to start a net search for the word, to see if I can collect 
some statistics on usage, etc.

peace

Okay I think many people misunderstood what I meant.
What I mean by ravers dont hit on other ravers at raves is
That at a rave i have never heard about a raver, who goes up to another
raver and says. "Hey baby, whats your sign. Can I get your number."
Thats hitting on someone.
Ravers say "Hi how are you" They converse They become friends first.
Then its not. Lets hook up I want to fuck you.
Its can i get your number and call you some time and they dont leave and
get other numbers of girls. Sex is a bad vibe at a rave. My Raver Friends
never mac on anyone at a rave. They sit down and are friendly.
Raves are for PLUR
Clubs are for getting numbers.

I am sick of people saying shit to me about how I am am go and shit in a
sarcastic manor. I like all people on this post am saying how i feel and
observer and I know.
If you don't like what i say dont flame me or whatever. There's no PLUR
in that and any person who doesn't have PLUR 24/7 can not be  a raver. It
takes a long time to be a raver and understand it totaly. I have only
been raving for 6 months. I don't know much at all. My friend has been
raving for 2 years. She is a raver. She knows. She points out stuff at a
rave. I am lucky to have been brought in to the scen by a raver. Not by
someone who went to a couple raves and though it was cool. Or got a COOL
WORLD flyer at a mall. Raving is a whole new experince for me. I feel I
completley fit in. All this talk about PLUR and not many people show that
on this site. If you don't even know what PLUR is and for what its there
for then you should shut up and not say anything and learn for
experineced people. Or wait unitl you do know. I didn't write crap to
this post for a month. I didn't talk like I was a hardcore raver ever. I
am not even close to being a total raver. I have so much shit I don't
know. But i do not what PLUR is I do know what a rave is. I do know the
diffence from a Raver and a Party Person. Don't clown me for speaking
from what I know. If you seriously take raving to heart. Then you will
keep PLUR wiht you everywhere and give it to everyone.
Thats all I need to say. I probably will get soem stupid email from
saying about how much I care about raves and by trying to make our scene
better.
PLUR,
Paul

Peace
Love
Unity
Respect

A Raver: Someone who know what PLUR is and takes it serously. Thats all
that matters to any raver. And even some people who aren't, yet respect
our territory when they come to a rave and show examples of PLUR to all.

hold up a minute.  PLUR = Peace Love Unity  Respect.  I would think that a
good sexual encounter should include all four of these things.  Sex does
not negate PLUR.  I agree that having sex in a public forum may be
inappropriate at times, and surely forcing sexual energy on someone who
does not want it is wrong, but I think you should really take a look at
your views on sexual relations if you feel that sex negates PLUR and PLUR
negates sex.  

and as far as the  'proper' use of MDMA... I knw that I for one have a
real problem with interacting physically with others.  I have taken
dancing lessons, fencing lessons and other physical stuff to try to
understand where the problem is at and get past it.  Truth is none of it
has really worked.  However, when I use MDMA, I find that physical
interaction is quite enjoyable and spending some time cuddling with a
friend (old or new) is an important part of a growth-oriented trip.
I know that these views might put me at odds with many folks, but all I
can say is, hey, I don't plan to make you get a hug if you don't want one!
:)  But you should get at least one !:)  Hug sluts, back me up!

nothing personal, just views on a few important topics.

For someone who repeatedly denies having current involvement with Cool
World, you sure are quick to defend, debunk and otherwise downplay real and
potential negative aspects of COOL WORLD's large, sellout, $$$ focused
"rave parties" which are honestly all sellout exploitive cash-fests.

If COOL WORLD was really here for the rave scene, COOL WORLD would be
throwing smaller, not larger parties. They would be free or close to free,
and, in all truth, COOL WORLD wouldn't be making THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of
dollars upon which the COOL WORLD promotion team and their ilk live.

They may say "Well, it's a lot of work to throw these parties and we
deserve to make some money to keep doing it."

And I would quickly rebut that COOL WORLD really cares about the scene,
COOL WORLD would not be throwing mega budget parties with LOTS to gain,
rather COOL WORLD would throw smaller parties that are nowhere near the
hassle or expense of larger ones. COOL WORLD's reward would not be a
suitcase full of $20's from the dissappointed masses, it would be the
personal satisfaction of throwing a good party with and for your closer
friends that would leave the guests and promoters both *spiritually*
fufilled.

But we all know the real truth about COOL WORLD -- AND THEIR DEFENDERS.

Frankly, there's a lot of shit sent in COOL WORLD's direction because we're
collectively more pissed that COOL WORLD would insult our intelligence by
attempting to make us believe that COOL WORLD is in it for the vibe and
community when we ALL know COOL WORLD is in it for the money.

So just say it. Call it like it is. Tell us COOL WORLD is really in it for
the money. It's OK that COOL WORLD makes THOUSANDS of dollars off the rave
community as long as COOL WORLD is straight up about it.

I personally like entreprenuers but I despise liars and cheats.

I have a feeling that there are more than less that would agree with me on
this point.

This may be COOL WORLD's "market" but this is our PASSION.

Look here ya cunts, both of you sticking to your own systems and not 
looking at what the other is saying, or if yer are, ye not doing anything 
about it.
	I called both of you cunts knowing full well that here in the
California, most people are going to take great offense at that right? 
Hell, when I lived in Oakland, I would have gotten my ass kicked nicely if
I walked out and looked at my neighbors and asked how all ya cunts were
off. But I go to Glasgow and do that and I will get a pint shoved in my
hand and patted on the back as a forgiener who can cross some terrioritial
barrier and not bring all my vocabulary prejudices with me, or something
like that (well, if it was the right cunts ken?).  I come back to the
States with a new word and explain and no one will hear it, it does not
have the same meaning, those rude Scots are just shovonist pigs simply
saying they have changed the meaning to imply.... 

	Ok, that was a lame attempt to kind of shed a little bit of ease 
into this conversation as it seems to have become a "no it's this way, no 
it isn't, it's this way, no......" discussion. First, we have that in 
some circles, a gangster is black - the original gangstahs were black and 
all these other types are idiots who are trying to copy the original 
hoodz and walk the walk without the background that brought about that 
walk. If you're out in Oakland were I lived with anyone and you saw some 
hot assed asian or white frat boy go by all laid back and looking like a 
hard cunt, someone who pipe up about him trying to be all gangstah like, 
I suppose that was because only a black could actually be a gangsta. And 
I assume that is because these little shits grew up down in LA with a 
million bux in the bank and thought it would be all cool to be doing the 
gangstah walk but they kind of missed out on growing up in the ghetto 
with bangs in the night and having to learn to do the walk or else you 
were meat to be eaten. How can one be a g without that? That's my take 
from the time I lived in North Oakland on 63rd and Market. It's my take 
from when I talked to the people who had been there much longer than I 
was and who weren't going anywhere else soon cuz they couldn't get out. 
And than, maybe they didn't want to get out, cuz they knew that shooting 
the shit up in the hills was shit too, just different shit.

	Well, the original gangstas it was pointed out are from New York 
running alcohol during prohibition. So the original gangstah were white, 
they ran around with guns killing each other and protececting their own. 
That sounds kind of familar. And for some reason, its the in thing to do 
now. Be all hard and run around like a hard cunt. When it comes down to 
it, what is a gangsta? And what do you call those people who think their 
all hard cunts but when the shit hits the fan, they aren't.

	So how do people communicate? We have words and people use 
different rules for the words based on their understanding of the rules 
when they learned the words. Whose rules for the word gangsta apply here? 
People don't want attitude filled assholes who think they are hard cunts 
coming to parties and standing on the walls scoping women and trying to 
start fights - is that what people mean?
	What I get from what I read of John's posts he takes offense at 
sfravers saying they do not want people of color who live in the ghetto 
and have a certain way of life coming out to parties period and that we 
are simply redefining his term so that everyone can feel good about 
themselves for not being racist. And since sfravers are all doleys up at 
univeristy (I dropped out of Berkeley a while back but still have this 
account which I use for sfraves so I am no longer a "student", don't let 
the address fool you) have no experience in the streets and no experience 
being locked into a community for life which is pretty much true of 
everyone I met at Berkeley. Am I getting this right?

	On my own note, if people are turned off by people from where 
life is a little bit more worrisome not running around with glitter and 
shit eating grins on their faces, I wonder why? Is this the mark of 
attitude? Or is there something else like the way a group of circle 
dancers kind of close themselves off from everyone that is disturbing 
everyone? And by closing off, I do not mean forming a circle cuz those 
always form as people turn around and look about, but there is something 
different like the circle becomes its own entity. Or is it something 
else....

  I am usually in the Quaker State for an hour or so. 
  Each night before I goto bed, i pop on my 808 state head set, slip a
jungle CD into the  8x, and I take out around 20 to 40 people! Using my
axe! Or else I will force the poor, helpless little nerds into suffercating
under water by using my rocket launcher to keep them from coming to the
surace! Hey.. You don't wanna drown? Fine, I am sure that internal
combustion would be alot less painfull anyways.
  You can find me on 207.48.50.5 most of the time. But if I am smoking a
cigarette, and you just happen to stroll along. You just might see some
ravEr come swingin at you on his grafling hook, swinging like freakin
Tarzan in the jungle! But you can be assured that you will die before I
have the chance to swing into your face.  =]
The rules on 207.48.50.5 are very lenient. Random weapons pop up, You can
use your grafling hook, special weapons.

  The only thing that sucks though is, my server is slow. Hooked.net lags
nStuff. So does PacBell.com. Makes my TR5/P-133/96RAM/2MEG-64bit Video card
run like a 386sx IBM Blue Lighting with 512k RAM. Sometimes. =]:..
I need an ISDN modem or Terminal card. 
We gotta get Digital!

Thank you very much. I am glad someone understand what my goal is.
I will post your link on my homepage soon. Thanks for being open minded.
My friend Victoria wrote mail about COOL WORLD.
Ray Vonnie himself answered back. Please Read it and tell me how he is
lying through his teeth. Also. If Feel Good is not COOL WORLD. Then why
is he sticking up for them. I don't see all the other people from
Harmony, Ghosttribe, Spundae, Charity, ,etc. saying anything.
Thanks

Okay you guys. Ravers who have been to an UN-COOL WORLD party know what
its like and don't like it.
I have never been to a Feel Good.
I have never been to a COOL WORLD
I have been to  a party thrown by the BUZZ Line
That was Mega Buzz, or the better name. Mega Bad Vibes.
Oh wait. Since The BUZZ Line is by Feel Good then I have been to a Feel
Good.
Oh I also forgot that Feel Good IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS not mater
how much they deny and lie and cheat and whatever, they are and forever
will be COOL WORLD.
And that means I have been to a COOL WORLD
Did anybody know that COOL WORLD is run by the Persian Maphia in LA?
Hmmm maybe thats why they don't care about ravers and goov vibes.
I am sure  Ray Vonie, if thats his real name. Sounds pretty peculiar to
me.
rayvonie say it 10 times fast. Hmm are you saying RAVE ON E?
I think you are. never noticed that. Anyway I am sure Mr On E will email
me back with blah blah blah about how much they love everyone and are not
in it for the money. its just EVERYONES word agains ONE, oh now I am
sorry THREE Production parties.
Who are you going to beieve? Some one with a fat huge wallet or someone
who pays to rave and spread love and peace and unity and respect and
stickers.
I  feel sorry about COOL WORLD People. They don't get it. Its too bad.
You know, actually i take alot back now that i think about it. I guess I
would be blind to anything that happend at my party with millions of
dollars in my hand. I wouldn't care what girl got tied to a stick and
raped. Who care I have money right.

PLUR
Paul

Everyone better think who really has PLUR before emailing me back. I am
trying to warn everyone. If you have never been to one of these
productions don't counter email me. If you have and you think otherwise.
You better check that you underwear says GOOD VIBE on it and not BAD
VIBE. I know what mine says. GOOD VIBE. I don;t even need to check. Hope
you all take this serously because its no joke. Its not funny to ahve
your bag stolen at a rave. It hapened to my friend Kate and no one did
shit about it except for the ravers. And they weren't on E.

First of all I never said I have no involvement with CW, in fact I said that 
I have a lot of pride in CW and their eforts to extend house music to the 
masses.  I did however say that CW is not the same as FGE, our directions and

These are just your own opinions and do not justify any coment, being that 
they are totaly wacked.

You know nothing about CW, or the reason that they do the things they do.  
You have your own narow minded interpitation of what a party is suposed to 
be, and thats perfectly fine, there are plenty of those for you to go to.  As 
far as haviong a lot to gain, don't forget about the other side, there is 
also a lot to loose.

Once agin you are mistaken, and have substituted your own opinion for 
reality.  And no one is trying to insult your intelegence, you are doing a 
fine job yourself.

CW is in no way trying to market its events to the underground.   everyone is 
invited, as always, but most core ravers just don't bother going to CW events 
because of all the bad vibe, Rumors, and hostile atitudes that have been 
created by the so called rave sceen about CW events.  CW would love to see 
core ravers outnumber first timers at their events.   This way you all could 
put your PLUR were your mouth is and guide the first timers in the right 
direction.  But unfortunently the reverse discrimination that has pleaged the 
rave sceen for the past too years will probably not alow this to take place.

Its funny that the exact reason why we all went underground, to escape 
discrimination, and unjustified persecution, has resurfaced within our ouw 
sceen.

We all have a passion, and a vission.  CW tries to bring people together 
throught the beaty of house music and dance.  ALL peoples, not just ravers.
I have been producing parties for 6 years, and if I was in it for the $$$, I 
would have quit a long time ago. 

You remember that time you were dancing to that certain beet at that one 
party and it felf so dam good, and you thought to yourself, 'wouldn't it be 
wonderful if everyone in the world could feel this way??'  well its 
production crews like CW, FGE, and many others that are reaching out to the 
masses and doing something about it.   Its just a shame that there will 
always be people like yourself that would rather knock someone down than lend 
them a hand, or tear apart somone trying to to a good, thing, and yet do 
nothing yourself.

Thats all I have to say, and I hope I have said e-nuf
Bad spelling is my trademark.

Your logic is so wacked that I bet you could convince yourself of 
anything.  Smoke another bowl and try to justify how it is that someone 
like yourself, who has been raving for a whole six months, can blatently 
call someone like me, who has been raving and producing for SEVEN years & 
who you have never met a .... liar??!!??  .

The funny part of this statement is that you think that people of Persian 
descent don't care about a good vibe.....prety un-PLUR to me.

Of course thats not my real name....Like duhh.  It used to be my dj name, 
but I gave up spining because I was making to much money, and decided to 
throw parties instead.

I have seen your stickers thay have as much respect as the rest of the

longer be used because of their presence.

I feel sorry for you, mabee you should get of the drugs and get a real 
dose of life.  Your Idea of PLUR is wonderful, But you are taking to the 
wrong people.  Try to practice what you preach and do it in a positive 
direction, Or else no one will take you seriously.

PLUR,   Vlad,   FGE

A while ago, in the midst of discussions about massives, I posed the
question "What is so bad about Cool World" to the list, never having been 
to a Cool World. I received a flood of responses. Not one of them
positive. All I have ever heard about Cool World, from people that have
attended, is that it is all together a bad experience. 

So I would not be so quick to state that it is only Wayne's opinion in
this matter. Cool World has a lousy reputation, and it is difficult for
me to believe that all of the people that have spoken of their
experiences are somehow out of touch with reality.

I think Wayne was asking you to admit that which is fairly obvious, that
CW is out to make money first. 

As far as "rumors" and hostile attitudes, if CW truly threw great
parties, there would be no such attitudes.

No, you do not. CW brings together people that can afford the high price
of admission. This is not *ALL* people. Not even close.

What is our cut of the admission price?

Sorry, i wrote the first reply before I scrolled to the bottom and read this.

THIS MAKES ME MAD, but im sure im not the only one. Ive been classified by
many people because of who I am, or what I do, but to be classified as a
raver??? Sorry but  i never would have suspected that I would be labeled here
on Sfraves. Ironic.
Oh and by the way, for all the years i have been raving, i have been on both
sides, i have gone as someone who attends a "rave" and I have even thrown a
"rave", more often then not people don't know what the fuck plur is, and
after reading half the posts I still don't think they know. And you know
what, im not sure I even know.

 Actually, the first ambient room I ever performed in (Mr. Rogers 
Neighborhood in 1992 or 93, Santa Cruz Civic) I had a couple grouping 
each other right next to me while I was playing. While it was a bit 
distracting (what WERE those hands doing in there?  ;) I was complimented 
that I was helping to create an enviroment where folks felt comfortable 
enough to be intimate with each other (they were relativly discreet).

 By the way; I think it is wonderful you have Marc in your life and I 
wish the two of you much happiness together.

You know, maybe for a "true raver"(whatever that is) cool world would suck
because it glamorizes what they try and keep so private so underground, but
if people would just understand that, and let it be, i think everyone would
be happy. NOBODY is benifitting from all this negativity really folks, can't

NO!!!!  MORE FLAMES!!!! 

 What can I say? I'm cheap and I havn't paid the heating bill in a 
while.  ;)


 I like being able to discuss controversial topics with people. It gives 
me a chance on how to learn to stay cool when someone else is gettin' 
riled (not easy for me at times :(  ). It's almost like being able to 
talk about those things your family never talked about as certain members 
couldn't handle it. Well, if you don't use it you lose it. Communication 
skills are no different.

 While I would like to see more respectful posts (from myself included!!) 
I will not tell someone to shut up (on this list) because I'm feeling 
uncomfortable with what they are saying. I may ask them to consider my 
perspective. When I lose it say I may say something I will later regret 
(then again maybe not  :). But most of all I try to learn from my posts, 
others posts, from other perspectives. I would like to say that when 
people resort to abusive verbal violence, it makes it tougher for me to 
learn and grow from what that person may be sharing. But again, if I can 
learn from an abusive post, rather than angerily typing or signing off, I 
benefit, I win.

peace y'all

The only reality that I think people are out of touch with is this ridicules 
notion that there is an obsurd amount of money being made at these parties.  
If this was realy the fact, don't you think more people would be throwing 
them, and don't you think there would be more than one CW party this year.
The chance to loose a fortune is a lot grater then the opertunity to make a 
little profit in this buisness.   


>I think Wayne was asking you to admit that which is fairly obvious, that
>CW is out to make money first. 

To be seccesful in any form of entertainmnet production, the enetertainmnet 
has to come first.  In rave production the rave also has to come first.  If 
your audience is not happy, they will not come back.  That means you have to 
give people more than their monies worth in order to maintain a folowing.  
Since CW is always growing, I think that that saids that there are a lot of 
people out there that enjoy the events.

And whats so wrong with making money, especialy if it is in doing something 
you enjoy, and it is something that bring joy and pleasure to many people??  
Can you think of a better way to make a living??  

>As far as "rumors" and hostile attitudes, if CW truly threw great
>parties, there would be no such attitudes.  

People in the sceen use CW as a scapegoat for all the sceens problems.  
Why?, Because its easy.  But it does not solve anything.  It just 
contradicts the ideals of the sceen.

>No, you do not. CW brings together people that can afford the high price
>of admission. This is not *ALL* people. Not even close. 

New year is a very expensive night, and it costs a lot to throw a party on 
NY's eve.  People are used to paying that much, check around, its just the 
way it is for a production of this caliber.  On regular weekends during the 
year CW parties cost the same as any other large party.  

I hope this clarifies everything.

I was just wondering why you gave up DJing.  Because you made too much
money?  
I'm not saying that's bad, but i'm sorry, that's the last thing that I'd do. 
If I ever got to the point where I was making good money for doing what I
love, I don't think I'd _EVER_ quit doing it.  Just wondering why...

I am truly sorry for anyone who thought the same. Actually I have not
recently changed my views on the rave scene. I only put it up in Sptember
when i was not completly understanding everything. i have all the pages
ready to be changed on my computer. As it saids its under construction.
And it still is. I am having a huge problem with my homepage provider.
they were doing something to make the system better and run faster and in
turn they have lost many people's password files. i have not been able to
change anything on my homepage since the day after my review of smiles. I
will be changing the Homie Hoe Score part. I am considering removing it
totaly. I am sorry about all that. It not very PLURisha t the moment. I
am waiting  for my homepage provider to email me back with my password
ASAP. They just finished fixing their problems and as soon as I can I
will change the homepage. Check back maybe in January.
PLUR

Once again.
Ray Vonie comes and email us back insultin all ravers of kinds with stuff
about stikers being graffiti??????? Guess We'll never win on this one hu?

I must comend you Ray i think that you are very good with your words and
that you beleve every single thing you are saying. I am glad you have so
much faith in yourself.
I ams sorry about that crack about RAVE ON E.
Remeber have not been raving for vey long and never knew that you used to
be a DJ.
And you quit cuz you had too much money?
Okay I guess. 

But about the Persian Maphia was totaly twisted around by you. Just take
out the word Maphia and ignore the Persian part. I am jsut trying to
calrify which Mafia i mean. And by the way I know plenty of Persians who
spread the PLUR at raves.

I am sure you will respond with a huge email about how good COOL WORLD
is,
but this will be an on going battle. No one will win. I see your points
vivdly and clear. I understand what you are trying to say, but I have
been to a Feel Good and it was not full of good vibes and there were many
ravers there. I don't care about Homies Hoes or Sakter or Persians going
to parties.

I ahve gotten more than my share of rides to a Rave by actual Homies. The
difference is that the Homies are not Bad Vibes. they don't refuse candy.
they understadn that a rave is raver's territory and they relaize how
deeply the vibes affect us and effect us in so many ways. Raves are for
everyone. Like you said, but some people shouldn't be raving. Instead of
wasting all that Paper for huge flyers maybe you should add one about
rave etiquette. What PLUR is and spell it ou for them.

If you really cared so much you would understand that its not safe to
advertise a rave to anyone. Only people which exibit some kind of PLUR
some time.

Anyone who kills people for fun or is in a gang, should not be there,
unless they want tu change their life drasticly.  Like all Good Vibes, I
have been sat down by a raver and been eduacated before the rave and on
the way up there on how to act.

I still  don't get everything, yet I try my hardest not to be a bad vibe.

Sorry for anything i said to you personaly
Its not directed towards you. You just seem to be the ambassador for COOL
WORLD/FEEL GOOD/BUZZ LINE/GLOBAL PARTY NETWORK.
its not an attack on you. Dont take the personally.

PLUR,
Paul

P.S. I jsut feel sorry that every raver know how much you bull shit
everyone and i am tired of you pulling the wool over our eyes and saying
how ravers are a plauge and are more prejudice to the fact that we dont
want anyone, but ravers at a rave.
the fact is that most homies are a bad vibe. Not all. A Homie can up to
my friend and asked her for stickers. I give him props whoever he is. he
is not a bad vibe. He is a good vibe.

....when I visited SF back in July I stayed with Claire Korich for a week 
and had a brilliant time. I've since not been able to get hold of Claire 
despite sending a card to her old address which was sent back to me, calling 
Gateway which is the company she runs with Rob and John and her old AOL 
email is no longer apparent.  She's well known at the outdoor parties and 
goes to the 'Friends & Family' set ups.  I was going to repay the 
hospitality she showed me as she was due a visit to the UK sometime in 
November.

If anyone knows where Claire is or has seen her recently please ask her to 
get in touch. I really would like to keep in contact with her !!

Thanks a lot

All,
	I gotta add something to this thread. I hope it makes sense.
	Firstly I come from a Gangland but was smart enough to not get
involved (not too much). It was mostly of Latin pursuasion (sp?). Sooo,
every time I hear of gangstas from this list, I see Latino hoods in my mind.
Maybe thats why Mr. Lee believes that the List is always refering to people
of color. Because thats how he sees it. 
	I see it differently now. I see any reference to gangstas, equally
to that of a hoodlum or troublemaker or people who put up a front so
that you may not see their weaknesses. They come in all different sizes,
colors and sexes.But i think they are slowly evolving to ravers and we gotta
show them we accept them for who they are 
		I hope that made sense.
					TAKE CARE ALL

Kaytee [member of sfraves] called me and told me that you alot of you were
in disagreement over alot of things and you guys just didnt seem very
cheery. My name is Eric and I am a member of Socal-Raves. I normally only
post my massive messages to the friends I have at Socal-raves, but I think
all of you could use a little positive light and I would just like to remind
you all about what we are all in this for. We often think of raving as our
weekend release at an event with dj's, an interesting environment, and the
use of drugs (for some of us). We spend nearly $20 to get into these events,
dance all night and when its over, we consider the journey over. But it is
not. Raving is something that comes from WITHIN you. We all have felt the
incredible vibe at some point, and what you need to do is carry that peaking
vibe with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can have the greatest time
with your buddies without spending mega-money. All you need to do is care
for those around you, and have love for everything and everyone. You all
have that love. You all care about the peace we experience together and what
good it does us all. You all care about the love that binds us in an eternal
journey of music and people. You all care about the unity that we feel each
time we reunite. You all care about the respect that is deserved by everyone
on this planet, no matter what. I am here to tell you all that you are not
alone in your journies. I will always be with each of you. If you ever feel
alone and that all is lost, you only need to remember that I am with you
projecting energy upon you. Not only am I doing so, but so is the love that
comes from all ravers. Our always in the atmosphere. It is the most powerful
thing on this earth.  It is incredible to me, the journies we have
experienced together as ravers, and the boundaries we have crossed in
relation to the rest of mankind. Its almost as if ravers have unlocked a
part of the brain that has been lying dormant for millions of years, perhaps
forever. This part holds our concepts of PLUR, our appreciation for nature,
our love for our beautiful music, and our ability to enter a trancelike
state almost at will. If only everyone could experience what we experience.
If I should die tommorow, I want you all to know, from the depths of my
heart and my soul, that I TRULELY love each and everyone of you. I admire
and respect all of you and I will continue to do so for as long as I shall
remain on this planet. Remember my words during the week, if you are sad or
depressed or just dont feel well. Be safe and take care this week. You need
know nothing else about me other than that I care about you all and your
saftey and well-being. I want you all to remember that. My love for you all
has no boundaries. Bring your love together for one another now....

Lots of love,

Hey folks. Got a problem. Myself and my roommate are looking for housing. 
You may have read a post from Jason Green a while back looking for "3bdrm 
house for 3 professional males" well that is now 2 professional males Jason 
has decided not to move right now. This leaves me and my roommate in a 
predicament. We NEED A PLACE. 2bdrm or 3bdrm can be afforded. Keep in mind 
that we have 2cats and one small lovable dog. Also we NEED a tekno friendly 
environment as I spin. If anyone knows a possible option for us please 
respond as we have already put notice in to move out of our current location 
by Jan. 1rst.

I left my mail for a day and GREAT SCOTT!

But I think I'm gonna stick my foot in this long tirade.

The last few times I've gone down to the city all I've been thinking of so
many things (where's my life going, do I want to transfer to SF, the
nature of friendship, you know that intense stuff that everyone thinks
about) and something I've really been thinking about is the ever present
"Ah, but what is a rave really?"

Now, really what is this thang all about? I had such ideals when I first
started partying. But has taken me a while to realize that people are
people-- everyone has their goddamn mannerisms, or faults, or however you
want to take it. Yet people (individuals) fail to realize that they are
people too. "The world is such a cruel place...", and the only -good-
individuals are themselves and their friends. What I guess I'm trying to
say is that jumping onto a purist platform doesn't resolve much; everyone
is massively hypocritical, everyone 
has a tinge of racism (don't try to deny it, we live in a racially 
tense society and you're going to pick it up).

I asked a friend of mine once, -when did you consider yourself a raver?
He said that he didn't consider himself a raver until a few parties ago,
when he had fully been alive in the music -sober- (and this guy has been
partying a long time). I thought that was so beautiful--anything "plur"
was his own, he didn't need to be a raver to be plur.

So what is this "plur" thing? If we would truly desire to characterize
ourselves as such, we wouldn't give a shit if people were doin the -honk
honk mack truck- in the chill room. Unity and respect are not juxtaposed
with separatist "idealism". We are an amalgamation of people; therefore it
is -impossible- to tell others what constitutes a rave other than what it
means for yourself. So- argumentation cannot function if it is not
constructive.

Also, the massive thing- I've been to some damn good massives that far
surpass underground "vibey" parties, and vice versa... 

Not sure what I tried to say but...

Northwestern (the one here in Portland, right?) duped my "Soularium" tape
in 1994 and I was quite pleased with it.  Good quality tape, excellent
reproduction and they sent a delivery guy to drop off my order rather
than having to go out and get it (of course, I'm local).

Dear Rob,

	This is fascinating!  When did the giraffes and whales and plants
tell you all this?  Or did you read it in the adventures of Dr. Doolittle
-- no, wait, those books were written by a human!

Much love (& too much sarcasm, probably),        ;)

Dear SFRavefriends,

	I believe the fact that many of us are concerned about this
"destructive impact" is further evidence that we have reached a higher
level of evolution. What other animals (or plants!) worry about protecting
the environment, or whether they may be causing other species to become
extinct?
	With greater ability comes greater capacity for both good and
evil, something we definitely need to keep in mind.
	
Much love,

I've been reading the messages about CW, and how the people on this list 
feel about it, and then that one guy (ray?) trying to defend CW. anyway, 
let me just state a few things. i said before last week that there is no 
way i will go to the upcomming CW because of the price tag. on the other 
hand, at the CW raves i've been to, i had a relative good time. Who ever 
funds and promots CW is in it for a certain market. and the market is 
there. if people didnt want to go to big raves with tons of people, then 
CW would be out of business. perhaps CW will fall if they keep raising 
the price tag of admission. let the market work things out for them. CW 
is the only group of people willing to put a large ammount of money into 
a into their investment. if the returns dont come in, then they will have 
to change how they do things. but for now, they have the market for large 
raves. let the people decide if they want to spend $25-plus on CW. but 
its really no need to bad mouth and complain as much as most people do. 
if you dont like CW, dont go.

on another note, CW also creates a trickle down effect. if first timers 
go to CW, and love it. they are going to be hungry for more raves. they 
will start going to smaller (and perhaps better, as some people would 
say) raves. If these people dont "understand" raves (as some people on 
this list would assume), then the smaller raves would give them the 
dirrection they might need to enjoy small raves. if people feel that only 
a select ammount of people should even go to raves, then thats fucked up, 
and in my opinion (although others will dissagre) is segregation. 

all in all, let the market system work it out for CW. also remember that 
CW helps the total rave community by getting more people involved in raves.

hm. and if i said that Europe didn't exist, 'cuz no one ever told me

(i seen 'em myself!), but maybe you're just not finding out about

the place where i work (graphic design/print/copy place) made copies of
the HUGE stack of news/magazine articles & research on LSD... i managed
to get my hands on a copy. my guess is that it's about 500 or so pages
of photocopied and downloaded articles. interesting reading...

I was mulling around various newsgroups and arcticles and web sites
about drugs, and specifically E.  I ended up reading "E is for Ecstasy"
off of the hyperreal site.  I read this passage in the part about
various people's experiences and it struck me as such a great summary of
what E does to people.

"There's a very basic misunderstanding here about the ways Ecstasy
works. I don't think the drug is manufacturing an experience of love. I
think it is doing something far humbler and more specific than
that. 

It takes fear away.  It is as a consequence of this subtraction of fear
that love appears. "



just thought id share it w/ y'all.

luv,

Hello,  I was wondering if there are other alternatives to driving to
sfraves other than taking a taxi cab.  Going to sfraves has been quite
difficult for me and my friends since we're not used to driving in SF and we
always get lost and going home is even more tedious since I live in the
north bay.  One of my friends suggested that we drive up all the way to
richmond then take the BART from there up to Market and from there we are
thinking of a way other than taking a taxi to whatever map point or venue
we're supposed to go.  Thanks for your time.  PLUR =]

Hi Eric,

	Thanks for the sentiments. My take on all the recent flaming is:

	"Where there is ANGER, there is PAIN,
	 Turn it around & let LOVE live AGAIN"

     I found an interesting article in this month's Details magazine about
21 year-old Sean Shayan who founded and expanded the herbal ecstacy drug
craze. I have to be jealous of this guy who at *my* age has made: $300
million ! Good lord that's alot of money. The article goes on to say how
Sean has never taken a single drug in his life (?) and exposes his long
running scam. After numerous tests were done on some of his products
including; Cloud 9, Magic Mushrooms and Ultimate Xphoria doctors
discovered that taking these drugs were "like drinking 7 cups of coffee or
taking a lot of Sudafed." Sean can't confirm or deny this since he states
that he's never tried any of his products. He's advertised herbal ecstacy
as a safe natural alternative to taking drugs bought on the street.But
according to the FDA, ephedrine ( the main ingredient ) has been linked to
17 deaths and 600 health complaints. We have heard about how MDMA has
caused it's own problems and unfortunatly deaths. But, this guy knows what
he is doing and how can you trust someone who hasn't even felt the effects
of his own product. Again, he's gained a shitload of money from this scam,
but I don't see him ever gaining the public's trust. If you happen to read
this article tell me what you think.

Boy, making an easy $100,000+ by throwing a party sounds great. That's how
much at the least they will make off this. You figure they can get about
around 7000-8000 people maybe more. They expect 15,000 people. There
charging $25-$35 for this party. They will clear more then $200,000 just
off ticket sales, and if all 15,000 people show and only pay $25 they will
get $375,000 off tickets. Selling over priced water and food and booze will
clear even more money. So figure $500,000.  A quarter of a million dollars
mostly on ticket sales alone. I highly dought that the party will cost that
much. Probally more like half that. So an easy $200,000 to $250,000 is
great.. That's not including what the sponsors will be giving them either.
Damn, I'm in the wrong job.  So please tell me it's NOT a money thing.

If my heart wasn't in the right place, I'd be doing it too. But it is in
the right place and I wouldn't be in it for the money. God knows I like to
have money, but not by doing it the way CW does it. Check out there
website..www.coolworldprod.com...and look under attraction....caged
futuristic Go-Go dancers. Erotic/futuristic fasion show..Alien girls with
sugar treats....what the hell is this.


I don't know, it just doesn't sound right to me. Remember, I was using $25
as the price which stopped on the Dec 1st...Now it's $30 until the day of
the event and then $35 at the door. So they may very will get close to the
$1,000,000 mark depending on when people buy tickets.

I don't know, sounds like an over priced, wacked out, let's make the 11
O'clock news again, drug and sex infested night mirror to me. Remember,
these are the promoters of Cyberfest were they made the news for kids
overdosing and being killed at that event. These are facts.  So when people
say that CW sucks, I'll tend to beleive them with those facts backing them
up. There not in it for the people, and certainly not to help the scene any
with those stats.

     this reminds me of the refrigerator.
     
     
     huh?
     
     
     well, you see...back when the refrigerator first came out,
     
     approximately...
     
     25% of the people bought one right away and threw away their icebox.
     25% said "my parents didn't have one, why do I need one"
     25% just didn't want one (they were skeptical)
     25% said "refrigerator?  icebox?  what are those?"
     
     we have now evolved to just about everyone having some type of 
     refrigeration.  now it's "you don't have a refrigerator?"  <---what 
     kind of kook is that?
     
     NOW YOU MAY ASK..."what does that have to do with cool world?"  
     
     well, it's the same type of mentality.  someone filled this world with 
     a substantial number of stupid people (maybe stupid's not the right 
     word, how about people with a low awareness level).  some of these 
     people are the same type of people that say "there's no problem with 
     the environment".  Now I know who you are... (hee hee)
     
     so, there are a lot of consumers out there that will just mindlessly 
     pay $35 to go to one of these events.  i'm not saying it won't be a 
     good party, it might well go off.  these types of massives can be fun 
     a few times a year.  i say let them charge that if they want.  
     
     in order for our society to evolve to one where people in business 
     charge only enough to cover costs and make a little for themselves to 
     live on, it has to be voluntary.  look at the refrigerator.  what 
     shelf are you on?  or do you still have an icebox?

I'm in no way being disrespectful. CW has a poor reputation. Ray Vonie
chooses to believe that it is because everyone has used Cool World as a
scapegoat. Having spoken with several people that have been to Cool World
events, the it seems that the reputation is earned. I am not calling Ray
names, I am not making fun of him, all I am saying is that from what I
have seen and heard, CW has earned its own reputation. Please do not
confuse a negative statement with a disrespecful one.

How much do you know about animals?

How about apes that kill their "stepchildren" when they take over
another apes
	female?  In fact, humans behave the same way?  There was an
	article in Science that examined child abuse.  It turns out that a
	LARGE portion of child abuse if from step-parents (origins of
	"evil stepmothers" in Fairy Tales?).   Step-parents (according
	to this article were 60-70 TIMES more likely to abuse their
	non-biological children than parents their own biological
	off-spring......

How about hyena cubs that kill their own siblings?

This argument is pointless, as we have to trust someone to tell us how
much money is made, as no books will be opened. I'm sorry, but when there
is that much money involved, I would have a hard time trusting certain
family members. There are absurd amounts of money being taken in, you
cannot reasonably dispute that. How that money is distributed, who knows?

CW's books are their business. However, I find no credibility in your
statement without evidence to back it up. There is far too much money
involved.

Thank you for two things. The first is seperating CW from a rave, the
second for being honest about the intentions. This is what is lacking in
the literature CW produces.

Please explain why anyone would make a scapegoat out of CW? Are the people
I have spoken to who had bad experiences at CW events scapegoating CW? 

I would agree that I see a general sense of animosity towards Cool World.
I bear some of that animosity myself. But for what to me is a very real
reason:

CW has taken Raving, and made a spectacle out of it, in order to make a
buck. There is also bad press that has resulted from CW events, which does
us all a disservice, including CW.

If CW were honest about it, they would immediately stop billing their
productions as raves, which they are not, and as you have said as
"entertainment."

Fair enough. But the point still stands. CW exists to bring together
people that can afford the price of admission, and that is not all people.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEZ take this "gangsta this gangsta that I'm right
you're wrong" discussion off the list! It's passed the point of being a
valuable educational discourse *long ago*, and if you guys want to keep
arguing off the list that's just super, but I don't think I can deal with
much more of this. There's probably alot of really cool posts getting lost
between the cracks, 'cuz I tend not to read stuff when every other subject
line is "re: shitty post--> blah blah blah."

I'm cross-posting this to the list because you two aren't the only ones
involved, just the most prominent ones.

I know I'm not *even* the final judge on what should/shouldn't be on SFR,
and I know there's a huge gray area, and I know that adidas and gangsta's
and race and creed and shit are all rave-related, but once the discussion
gets so out of hand that every post is a direct comeback to another direct
comeback and the other list members are being ignored while spammed, I
think that's where the gray area ends.

thanks and take care,
-m.

       COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO - The
                               Associated Press via Individual Inc. : Police
                               were amused when Harlan Collinsworth gave
                               them a list of items stolen from his home: a
                               VCR, a bong used to smoke marijuana and a
                               film canister containing pot. 
                                      - ``We won't generally get lots of calls
                               about stolen controlled substances,'' Capt. Carl
                               Bergh said Monday. 
                                      - When Officer S.W. Childers arrived at
                               Collinsoworth's home Friday in this Idaho
                               panhandle city, Collinsworth showed him a
                               metal container where he'd stored the canister
                               of marijuana. 
                                      - ``While showing me this container, he
                               explained that the suspect had failed to take his
                               marijuana pipe,'' Childers wrote in his report.

  INNOVATION

  What Is Cool? Certainly Not a Campaign for It

  Trends: Although many companies would like to appear 'with it,' the true
  cutting edge emanates from the streets.

  By Gary Chapman

  Copyright 1996, The Los Angeles Times

  Microsoft Corporation has launched a new advertising and public 
relations
  campaign, and the mission, according to some people who work at the
  company's ad agency, Wieden & Kennedy, is a seemingly impossible one: to
  make Microsoft cool.

  "Cool" is the holy grail of the cyber-elite. It's the only word that
  conveys success, that draws crowds in virtual space and that indicates a
  company "gets it," in the cultural vernacular of the times. Cool is
  completely binary -- a company or a Web site is either cool or it's 
dead,
  cold. In cyberspace, "cool" and "hot" are the same thing.

  What is cool? Where does it come from?

  It comes from the streets. And more often than not, it comes from the
  streets of the working poor, especially from the vibrant culture of poor
  African American and Latino kids. It comes from the opposite pole of our
  society than the one Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and his peers 
inhabit.
  Increasingly, immense multinational corporations are dependent, for 
their
  marketing, on the culture of young people who are the losers in the
  Information Age.

  At the recent Conference on Technology, Jobs and Community held at Cal
  State L.A., I spent some time talking with some young hip-hop artists,
  black, white and Latino. Carlos "MARE 139" Rodriguez, a former graffiti
  artist who grew up in the South Bronx, put it rather succinctly: "The
  'soul' of this country has always been rooted in poverty."

  This is an old phenomenon. European bourgeois discovered the vitality of
  urban bohemian culture in the late 19th century, resulting in Puccini's
  great opera, "La Boheme." Harlem's renaissance in the 1920s was due to
  wealthy white patrons spending their time and money in black nightclubs.
  All the forms of that global cultural juggernaut, rock 'n' roll, were
  born in black juke houses in the South or in the ghettos of factory
  cities in the North.

  The predominant cultural expression of the inner city for the last 15
  years, hip-hop, has been a brilliant marriage of street slang and
  technology. Hip-hop got its start in the 1970s when street DJs started
  manipulating records on turntables to produce rhythms and surprising
  collages of sounds and words.

  Hip-hop musicians have absorbed computers and turned them into bold 
music
  machines with sampling, synthesized bass and dense layers of sound and
  expression. Hip-hop swept the suburban world of white youth as much as 
it
  did the mean streets of the ghetto.

  Just as corporations swallowed up the music of the '60s to sell products
  to baby boomers, companies have sanitized hip-hop, punk and surfer
  culture to appeal to the young computer generation. Coca-Cola, perhaps
  the ultimate brand-name standard, has a home page (
  http://www.cocacola.com) that features text of surfer "valley talk" in a
  jagged punk font. One page describes "a guy with a full-body tattoo
  covered with links" -- cyberpunk meets the soft drink business.

  Brett Webb runs a Web site called Art Crimes (http://www.graffiti.org),
  an international database of graffiti art. Webb says he got an offer 
from
  Levi Strauss to buy the entire site.

  It's long been an axiom of cool that whenever something cool shows up in
  commercial use it's no longer cool.

  What is obvious is that the great factories of style and coolness that
  are constantly churning out ideas in places like East L.A., Watts,
  Harlem, the South Bronx and elsewhere are always "pushing the envelope"
  of what mainstream white society will accept. When someone like Dennis
  Rodman starts showing up in TV commercials and People magazine, it's 
time
  to move on to something new.

  But the deepest irony is that the global information economy is pushing
  the working poor of all races to the wall. In previous eras, it was
  possible to have a vital working-class culture that survived on factory
  and service wages. That's no longer true. Despite the recent boost in 
the
  minimum wage, most of the working poor, tens of millions of people, are
  barely making ends meet.

  The fact that billionaires and millionaires are stealing or faking the
  culture and imagery of the ghetto is not lost on the people who live
  there. What was once a mostly happy and carefree hip-hop culture has
  already turned into something angry and dangerous -- gangsta rap, for
  example -- and now that's devolving into something even angrier and more
  confrontational.

  There are edgy fault lines between the artists of the ghetto and
  high-tech imitators of cool that could eventually register on the 
Richter
  scale. Advertising firms may want to make their clients cool, but 
they're
  playing with fire.

It is certainly even more difficult if there is a map point clear across 
town from the location of the rave.  If one relies on bus transportation, 
I could see that taking up another hour or hour and a half.  I plan to 
give up my car when I move there, thank goodness I still know folks who 
have vehicles!  Just my thought, sorry I could not give any solutions...

This reminds me of a birthday present I bought a friend a while back.  I 
was kinda broke at the time, but still wanted to get my friend a birthday 
present.  So I went to my local Safeway, wondered into the Produce 
section, purchased a couple of beets, and gave them to him as "A Couple 
of Phat Beats"

He said it was the best birthday gift he has ever received :)

I might be able to give you a ride.  I drive a toyota pickup.  So if your
record crate could sit in the middle or on the floor I could take you.
Whats the agenda for tonight?

I live very close to you.  I live right by Mitty high school.  I met Mat
last night at City Expresso.  I believe thats your roommate, right?  I also
met Lee and Sharon (I think that was her name, she had the rather large

Anyways, let me know!

     Who are we to say that we know better than 15,000 people?
     
     If people will pay $25-$35 to spend an evening having safe sex with 
     aliens, watching fire breathing whatnot and seeing two hundred DJ's 
     and live acts in eight hours, let em.
     
     If Cool World had such a bad reputation, they would change their name 
     to something new and continue to do business.  I for one have met 
     people who are excited about going, and I honestly hope they have fun. 
      Not everybody enjoys weird parties with one blacklight on a beach and 
     two DJ's playing trance all night long.  We're all different.
     
     Vlad (Ray Vonie) has been very cool with me as he has been with most 
     of us, if only in e-mail.  He seems to understand what being nice and 
     respectful is all about.  Even when we're raking him over the coals he 
     takes it in pretty good stride (except that spelling!  Egad!).  The 
     parties (both FGE and Cool world) seem well organized considering 
     their size and what a soft target they are for police, nobody runs out 
     of toilet paper, and Joe and Joanna Average can have a damn good time 
     there.  It's probably less unwholesomely profitable than Disneyland or 
     running a store that sells sportswear with a ridiculously high mark 
     up, and Cool World tries to make people smile and laugh and remember 
     what they did for New Year's for a change, rather than another boring 
     evening at a house party with their alcoholic high school buddies.
     
     We should treat our massive promoters with some respect (remember 
     PLUR, I think that might apply to everybody, even massive 
     promoters)... they are the ones who are going to have lawyers and 
     loopholes and pave the way for obtaining permits and maybe even prove 
     to people that big parties can be fun, positive and profitable for 
     promoters.  Massive promoters probably will never have a monopoly on 
     parties, because there is a hardcore group of people who will always 
     like smaller parties of various styles.
     
     Am I going?  No.  It's not really my thing, but that shouldn't affect 
     anybody else's decision.  We're all big kids here.
     
     If you're going, bring a smile.  Have a good time.  If there's no vibe 
     get to work on getting one going with the people around you.  I've 
     seen some amazing things and I'd love to read a review where some 
     people had a great time and got things going for others.
     
     If you think Cool World is only in it for the money, don't pay to go.  
     Duh, that's how to hurt a business after all... it's cool to be 
     anti-profit, but it would be damn hard to find E, acid, blowpops, GHB, 
     bodypaint, chai or any of the other consumables we embrace without 
     considerable markup (like 300%+).  Buy what you like, don't buy what 
     you don't like.
     
     We keep talking about how positive and vibey we are and I open my mail 
     to bitch bitch bitch every day.  Talking shit about a party that 
     hasn't even happened yet isn't about Love, Unity or Respect.  It would 
     be pretty nice to be able to make a living for me and some friends by 
     throwing parties that allowed people to feel the way I did at the 
     first party that worked for me.  I mean, if only 1% of the people at 
     Cool World end up "getting it", that's 150 more people that will be of 
     definite benefit to the scene.  How could that be bad?
     
     I haven't been in the scene for long at all, and maybe that undermines 
     my opinion, but I think this raving stuff shouldn't be a treehouse

Please circulate this and perhaps by the time Christmas comes,  everyone 
will have read it.  
 
                         DEATH OF AN INNOCENT 
 
I went to a party, Mum, I remembered what you said. 
You told me not to drink, Mum, so I drank coke instead. 
I really felt proud inside, Mum, the way you said I would. 
I didn't drink and drive, Mum, even though the others said I should. 
 
I know I did the right thing, Mum, I know you are always right. 
Now the party is finally ending, Mum, as everyone is driving out of sight. 
As I got into my car, Mum, I knew I'd get home in one piece. 
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet. 
 
I started to drive away, Mum, but as I pulled out into the road, 
the other car didn't see me, Mum, and hit me like a load. 
As I lay there on the pavement, Mum, I hear the policeman say, 
the other guy is drunk, Mum, and now I'm the one who will pay. 
 
I'm lying here dying, Mum.  I wish you'd get here soon. 
How could this happen to me, Mum?  My life just burst like a balloon. 
There is blood all around me, Mum, and most of it is mine. 
I hear the paramedic say, Mum, I'll die in a short time. 
 
I just wanted to tell you, Mum, I swear I didn't drink. 
It was the others, Mum.  The others didn't think. 
He was probably at the same party as I. 
The only difference is, he drank and I will die. 
 
Why do people drink, Mum?  It can ruin your whole life. 
I'm feeling sharp pains now.  Pains just like a knife. 
The guy who hit me is walking, Mum, and I don't think it's fair. 
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare. 
 
Tell my brother not to cry, Mum.  Tell Daddy to be brave. 
And when I go to heaven, Mum, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave 
Someone should have told him, Mum, not to drink and drive. 
If only they had told him, Mum, I would still be alive. 
 
My breath is getting shorter, Mum.  I'm becoming very scared. 
Please don't cry for me, Mum.  When I needed you, you were always there. 
I have one last question, Mum, before I say good bye. 
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die? 
 
            ************************ 
Someone took the effort to write this poem. 
 
So please, forward this to as many people as you can. And see if we can get 
a chain going around the world that will make people understand that 
drinking and driving don't mix. 
 
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, so please forward this letter to as many 
people as you can.

I wrote something about CW parties the other day and you responded to me
as if I was saying that only ravers can attend raves. Well if you knew
how to read you would of read that I said.....
I don't want you to think that I'm saying that only ravers can attend
raves. Because I believe that anyone can attend a rave just as long as
they don't ruin the vibe and they spread love. Ravers would never
excluded anyone because of who or what they are. We are always open to
new things and new people. But not if they are going to affect us. But
all we  ask is if you do attend a rave and know nothing of the subject
just respect us and those who surround us and keep the vibe alive. 
	
	The reason I take this so personally is because a RAVE is not
just something to do on the weekends or just to be cool. A RAVE is a way
of my life, a way I choose to live. It is a part of me so are all of you
beautiful people who rave out there. Everytime I go to a RAVE i go decked
out in my biggest bell bottem  plaid pants or my homade clothes and my
clunky platform shoes. I smear my eyelids with glitter and stickers
aglore. I stuff the blue teddy bear  back pack (My friend Paul made) with
stickers, candy, glowsticks, and anything eles I can imagin to give away
to all the beautiful Ravers. I don't know about anyone eles but when I'm
at a rave and I see all the wonderful people having fun and smiling and
spreading love and expressing themselves through dance. It makes me feel
so good about who I am and what I do. I love raving and I never want to
stop. THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE who attend CW parties are there just to
be cool or to do something that weekend. They ruin the vibe and don't
spread love, they have a bad atitude about the whole situation. This to a
raver is dissapointing to see this, and brings them down. I had a friend
who drove from Sac. to go to Mega Buzz and paid $25 and left a 1:00
because they were not having a good time. A rave is a place where PEOPLE
or RAVERS go to get away from the cruelness of the outside world. And be
able to meet new people and enjoy themselves without having to worry
about what others think or feel towards them because at raves everyone
loves one another. And when a raver goes to a rave to do this and feel
good about themselves and to spread love, and they see the vibe being
ruin, and the scene being disrespected or TAKEN FOR GRANTED. This is a
wound in the heart and we don't take it lightly. Because if you are
hurting the scene you are also hurting apart of all ravers. 
Thank you I hope you don't take any offense. 
may love and great things come to you all  
PLUR
Smile always
Smile I love :)
Never frown
Love always Victoria :)

Hi. I know the message of this poem is critical, but it has been posted to
this list at least 3 times in the past few months. I'm sure it's been
circulated three times around the world by now. :)

I agree. AT Mega Buzz a CW party my friend put her bag on the ground for
a second and turned to say hi to someone and the turned back around and
her bag was gone. Just like that. She immediatly found us and told us
what happened while sobbing on my shoulder. We rushed to the front the
main entrance where all the CW people were. We told them what had
happened and got no help what so ever. I myself asked the rent a cop for
his flash light and had to shove and yell and threat my way back into the
party. After they had known what I was doing they wanted me to pay to re
enter the party. Even though my friends bag was still in there.  Finally
after some arguing with the gut he let me in. While my friend watched
people as they left to see if her bag was near. I then Searched each room
up and down and all around for the bag. Still we haven't got any help
from the CW people. From about 2:30 am to about 5:00 am I searched for
the bag, each room over and over again. Till finally I found the bag. I
was so relived. I ran as fast as I could to return the bag to my friend. 
Now I want you all to know that her car keys were in the bag. We would
have no ride home If we didn't find the bag. But CW people still didn't
care. Finally after my friend had been harrassed by the CW people se
searched her bag to see what was missing she had $100 stolen from her.
Very dissapointed and rudely upset we drove home after paying $25. This
proves that you don't give a dam about the party or people, only the
money. If this were at any other party ecspcially HARMONY this would of
never happened and if it did we would get more help. But most likley it
wouldn't .

In response to your comment on aliens.. Haven't they been here always
influencing our lives through religion.  What I mean is who were the Gods
and Godessess anyways?  And what about the Jehovah who rescued the
Israelites from the land of Egypt?

And if they are here and if they have been here for some time, they are not
really aliens or extra-terrestrials are they?  The word alien is almost
another discriminating word that we humans have created to seperate us from
everything else.  If the goal is to come together back into some sense of
unity and oneness with everthing than we have to include the cosmos and
everything in it or else we will always be seperate from something.

Just out of curiosity did you or anyone find any information on the CIA's
use of LSD and psilocybin mushrooms for mind control experiments?
Apparently Timothy Leary got his first knowledge of LSD by volunteering for
these types of experiments.

> Today DEC 5th is the birthday of Walt Disney...just thought
> I'd tell everyone.

Great! Let's celebrate the birthday of a well-known racist and
anti-semite.

As far as I'm concerned, the fucking bastard can rot in hell. W/r/t 
Disney's works, yes, there's some great Disney art, but that was
produced by talented artists who labored in relative poverty and
anonimity, while Disney profited off their sweat and took all the
credit. Then he used all his money and power to incorporate  anti-black
and anti-semitic sentiments into the Disney Corporation, while turning
in every jew he didn't like to the McCarthy witch hunts as a "communist
sympathizer." Such a sweet and loving man, he!

What next, an NRR post celebrating David Duke's birthday?  Hey, what
about Jerry Falwell, he's a man who righteously defends PLUR!

PS: If I see one more PLUR-spouter talking about how HOMIES shouldn't
be at raves, the stark fist of removal is going to plunge so far up
your ass you'll need a speculum to brush your teeth. What next, you're
going to say that KAIKS or WOPS or SPICS can't be at raves! I'm getting
the feeling that when anybody mentions PLUR on this list, they might as
well stick a stamp on their forehead saying kick me, I'm an ignorant
racist doofus. Why don't you do us all a favor and shove yer glowstick
where the sun don't shine to enlighten yourself. We don't even need to
worry ourselves with racist code-words like "gangsta" when you got
people unabashedly dissing "HOMIES" as being un-ravey. If "HOMIES" are
unravey, then I certainly don't want to be a raver.

Well, it was a strange nite. Voodoo lounge was having some leak-problems,
so there was a bucket in the middle of the dance floor. Sound was off and
on, too. Regardless, I had a blast hearing Hannibal Selecta and Tomas play
some booming deep tunes.

Thad played a short set around 12:30, but was having technical difficulties
with  one of the decks. The hi-point for me was when he dropped
his own dubplate, and though the sound made it seem a bit muddled, it was
great. There's a bunch of dj's making their own tracks and paying 30-40
dollars to get them pressed themselves (1 copy). This is exactly what we
need to help create our own grass-roots jungle scene in the states. 

-peace-

Here we go; it's biological evolution on the line, so I gotta' get
involved... (WARNING: COMPLETELY NRR!! AND LONG!!)

Animals (and, yes, humans) that attack step-children/cubs/what-have-you,
do so because, unfortunately, this means that if/when they actually have
their own children with their mate, then their own children (and hence
their own genetic pool) will receive that much more attention and
sustinence from both parents (i.e. breast milk in primates), than they
would if the step-children were still in the picture.  No, the animals
don't sit around and actually *think* this (because evolution doesn't
*think*, it *responds*); it's just that animals (in the wild) that engage
in this behavior tend to have more of their own genes survive through
their progeny than animals that don't.  Why else would the trait be
present?  

Now this may seem silly in such a modern society of convenience as ours,
where hunger (at least in the "first"-world) and predation are 
considerably less significant than they were when we were living in the
wild.  But if you consider a situation where food is scarce, and
malnutrition can lead to a host of fatal diseases, every head takes up
that much more food that your own progeny could use.  Yes, I personally
find it sick, twisted, and terribly depressing, but evolution doesn't
care about ethics. Ethics are human notions.  Evolution is but a process,
where the most successful make more copies of themselves.  (I believe
that's why we as humans developed civilization in the first place, in
hopes of staving off some of the harshness of this "unethical" pure
natural selection.)

I believe that this human step-child abuse phenomenon is a hazy vestigial 
aftereffect of this trend in our primal evolution, but that is no longer
necessary or even fit in a modern society, due to the protection and
provisions civilization allows for (not to mention, it's mean!).
Unfortunately, evolution is *very* slow (given our generation time, on the
order of millions or at the very least tens of thousands of years), and
there has not been sufficient time to weed out the trait completely.  But
4000 years is a fairly good chunk of time (i.e. since the beginnings of
civilization, more or less), and these tendencies undoubtedly have been
slowly disappearing as the years progress (since there is really no
selective pressure for them at all anymore).  Most importantly, though,
(to end on a brighter note), fortunately, our minds, as humans, are
sufficiently advanced that many of us can control our instincts (to some
degree).  So anytime we feel an emotion, we don't necessarily act
whole-heartedly on it, without at least considering the consequences,
aftermath, etc.
Well, I've rambled on enough. ;)  I'd love comments, etc.  plur-

Joe

How about "Email that Spammed the Innocents"

When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me
And the more I go inside, the more there is to see

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
All the world's a birthday cake,
So take a piece but not too much

Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

It's all to much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I am, the less I know
And what I do is all too much

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

It's too much.....It's too much

Too much too much too much (fade to end)

     Fortunately I have reconfigured my positronic matrix to look through 
     the posts on sfravers (I've met some absolutely WONDERFUL people on 
     this list, too :) and decide if the post has a negative connotation or 
     is just plain too negative my brain now goes "ehh.  too negative.  
     NEXT."  
     
     y'all need to take a lesson from the farmer.  life is like a farm.  
     we'll get to that tomorrwo.  
     
     anyway, do you want to know how to program your positronic matrix 
     (yes, you all have one, Mr. Data is not that out of the ordinary)
     
     yeah, i'll bet you would.  email me privately if you want to know the 
     REAL secret.  talk to you tomorrow, happy clan!

hello everyone-

this post is totally non rave related (flame me now, if you wish!)

sometimes i like disney films (flame me now, if you wish!)

sometimes i take drugs at raves (flame me now, if you wish!)

sometimes i go sober to raves (flame me now, if you wish!)

sometimes i may make a snap judgement about someone's character by their
exterior appearance (flame me now, if you wish!)

sometimes i ignore their appearance, and talk to them (flame me now, if you
wish!)

so, if you're still reading this and you haven't flamed me yet,

I love you!

have a wonderful day!

love-

matt

 Well I'll miss you Tim!!  =(

 Yea, Neil was way out of line. He could have shared info with us about 
Walt without being just plain nasty about it. As a result anything he has 
to say I'm not going to want to listen to.

 Tim has been one of the most generous and giving, loving people I have 
ever run into, and has done so much (selflessly) for our scene. I love 
Tim and wish there were a milliion more of him around. Tim did not 
deserve what Neil threw his way and I feel he owes Tim an apology.
 
 I don't know what is eating at Neil but I hope he gets over it. I almost 
wonder if that was really Neil who posted?

Since there seems to be a bunch of new people on the list, and several
who seem to be bickering...I think it's about time to bust out with
another set of SFRaves laminates!

I'll be printing up a small batch to distribute at The Gathering on Dec.
21st. They'll be free...It's Christmas!!

Sometimes people can come off so intimidating and mean over email, but
in person I know you are all a bunch of crazy-silly-wacky and very PLURY
people.

Like Troy Sheets said to me once, "I've never met a net-raver I didn't
like".

So come find me there, I'll post a description a day or so before.

As far as the current state of the list, I am extremely heartbroken.
This list has done so much for so many people's lives...it's brought so
many of us together. You are all my closest friends, and it hurts me to
see my family fight like this. This is ridiculous!! I love you guys!!
Why else would I drive 9 hours every other week so I can see all of
you??!?!?? So let's stop it, NOW!! OKAY!?!? 

Here's a digital hug for all of you that I originally received from
Sarvi long ago. Please forward it to anyone on the list that you would
like to apologize or give you love to:
                                                  
                           EVERYONE NEEDS A HUG!!!!!

hello all-

for the sfraves scene, tim has:

1)selflessly organized multiple barbeques

2)offered his cooking services/equipment to any happy raver who wishes to use it

3)been an active member of the sfraves community for quite a while before
many of us were even thinking or raving

4)stood out in the rain so that ravers could come and eat, dance, and enjoy
each other at pt. malate.


so, let it be heard that:

tim is a cool guy.
tim is a key member of the sfraves community.
give the boy some respect.

love-

Don't leave us. This list has turned into something it was never intended to
be, a NON-RAVE RELATED waste of bandwidth. You, knucklehead, are one of the
people that I like reading posts from. Instead of leaving, please stay and
help us bring back the good old days when the posts on this list were about
rave and music, not shitty poems and our theories on the existence of=
 aliens.

actually, i never singled *YOU* out. i purposefully kept your name out
of it when posting about walt disney 'cause it's very likely you don't
know his history and are just referring to his companies' animated
movies (which i too admit to liking). i wasn't flaming *you* I was
flaming walt disney.

though, to tell you the truth, the fact that it's walt disney's
birthday is about as NRR as you can get, and so was my reply. but if
you're going to bring up walt disney as something even vaguely rave
related, I feel compelled to indicate that the man himself was the
antithesis of rave. about the only relation i can think of is that
occasionally people project "fantasia" for rave light shows. now what
the hell does walt disney's birthday have to do with that?

w/r/t the other ranting, i was referring to the posts of
plur@somethingorother who keeps going on and on about HOMIES in his
posts (and his web site) while spouting a bunch of crap about how
people just need to fully accept PLUR and they'll be REAL RAVERS! This
just further fuels my belief that people that talk about PLUR are
hypocrites first, and ravers second. Not that I have any idea what
"raver" means. i agree with JSL, it's about music and dance... "it's
just a party"...

Replace every mention of PLUR on this list with "take jesus into your
heart" and y'all begin to sound just like a bunch of baptists at a
revival, and that, I find sickening.

Ok folks,

This is to let you all know that I've had it with this list. I'm on several
other mailinglists (the Goa-list and two Swedish rave-lists), and I get more
SHITTY, NON-RAVE RELATED posts from SFRaves in a day than I get from the 3
other lists in a month. Let's see, today we got Aliens, a shitty poem about
drinking, discussions about Disney's b-day (with an OUTRAGEOUS reply that=
 had
absolutely no place on this list), the possibility of waterslides as a means
of transportation, and probably something that I MANAGED to miss. (That=
 CTRL-D
combination is very useful these days...)
What am I trying to say? Well, to me, this list is not a place to post your
theories on aliens or attack innocent ravers over Walt Disney being a racist
or not. This is a place to post things about RAVES, CLUBS, AND ANYTHING=
 MUSIC-
RELATED. (Perhaps if you look at the name, SF RAVES, long enough the penny
will
fall down...)

Well, just thought I'd get that off my chest before I sign off.

reespect and hugs to the people who deserve it,
jonas

Bandwidth is simply a measure of how much information can be conveyed
over a given channel in a unit measure of time.  Often referred to as
"bits
per second".   Since ANY type of information today (video, audio, text)
can be
sent "digitally" as packets of numbers over computer networks, the
higher
the bandwidth the faster data can be sent....

See Claude Shannon and Information Theory:

"A graduate of Michigan, he went to MIT where he wrote a thesis on the
use of Boole's algebra to analyse and optimise relay switching circuits.
He
joined Bell Telephones in 1941 as a research mathematician. He published
A Mathematical Theory of Communication in 1949. His work founded
the subject of information theory."

	Interestingly  (to me anyway!), the more random the data the
	higher the information content.  Therefore, totally random
	data has the highest information content of all!

According to numerous sources, this is not correct. Timothey Leary got his
first knowledge of LSD from a person referred to him by a friend. I believe
it was Michael Beresford, though I will have to look this up. This was the
guy with the mayonaise jar filled with water, powdered sugar, and 1/2 gram
of LSD. Leary was said to have had his first acid trip by taking a spoonful
of this concoction, which I calculated to be about 2-3000 Mics or 2-3
miligrams!! He had been doing numerous psilocybin experiments at the time,
but this affected him so profoundly he gave up other psychedelics after
that.

On the other hand, your are correct when you state the CIA, FBI, DOD and
many other government organizations did mind control/interrogation research
using just about every psychoactive chemical known to man, including LSD. I
found it somewhat interesting that they tested using THC (the active
ingredient in marijuana) as an interrogation tool, but quickly gave up. It
took them longer to give up on LSD. Check out the excellent books "Acid
Dreams" or "Storming Heaven" or email for more info.

Now back to your regularly scheduled raving.

It is possible for a person to dress out of class.  But you would not.
People dress the way there friends do; in order to 'fit in' like I said.
 Everything you describe is so typical for a person your age, the Bay
Area, the California look.  Put on a power business suite; see if you
can fit in a rave.  Did you happen to go to that guy Greg's Birthday
party a few months ago.  Everybody there was in standard rave dress; but
some guy was wearing a power suite (I assume he had been else where and
was checking out Greg's party along with others).  The suit just did not
make it.  Period.  But the suit would do well talking to a hiring
manager at TRW.  Of course people wear different cloths.  Depends on the
occasion; what you want to communicate to the person your trying to
communicate with.

My main point is your clothes; looks; the way you speak.  It is used by
others to evaluate if your a threat, a potential friend, etc.  A cop can
look at the occupants of a car and almost tell if they are likely to
have dope in the car.  It's almost common sense.  The cop looks you over
and decides how to react to you.  Everybody does that.    You might want
to say, "oh how unfair"  Yes it is.  Do you think life is fair ?

Talk to people who hang out on the street a lot.  The Haight street
crowd for example, or a homeless.  They get quite good at figuring out
if the person walking towards them is going to be a problem.  I am not
going to write thousands of pages of text to say "if this then that."  I
am not sure you can quantify it at all.  But it's there, people do use
it.  A cop see's a man and he makes a decision to shove the guy against
the wall and spread his legs if the guy has a certain 'look'.  Or simply
asked the guy for some ID if he has another look.  The cop acts like
that because hundreds of times in his experience; people who look a
certain way act a certain way.  Do you find it hard to believe a guy
going down the street with a beard; hair to his ass; a backpack; weird
clothes is more likely to have dope on his person then a guy who looks
like the people you see on TV advertising cars ?  TV  and movies are
quite good at 'casting' people.

In fact; to me; it's common sense to read how somebody looks and deal
with them on terms based on how they look.

	Jesus was a Jew who preached Love.  Loving your
	enemies is a concept that even today, 2000 years later,
	is too revolutionary a concept for many to grasp.

	One should not reject the message because of the messenger.

	Whether you believe in the divinity of Jesus or not, the concept
	of Love without reservation is one that Humans STILL have to
	learn.....

	Likewise, whether Disney was good or evil should say nothing
	about whether his Art was good or not.....  I find in general it's
	best to not inquire too deeply about ANYONE whose work
	you respect because you will find that they are ALL FLAWED.....

	Raving is supposed to about MORE than just dancing and
	having a party.  Otherwise, why is Raving any different or any
	better than ballroom dancing to Lawrence Welk?
