[OT] Help californian's stop the anti-rave law

or split the venue in half with 2 addresses, do two for one events. one running from a-b and the second next door from c-d.


all i see this doing is making people get 2 sets of permits and insurance anyway. its cheaper than paying the 10 grand. way cheaper. which makes it worth doing as a producer.

yeah im pissed about this but Fiona Ma got some pretty quick criticism from ppl all over, so she's shut up about it. Thankfully.

"prerecorded" = dj's
over 500 ppl, lol really?

They tried something like this in Toronto back in the mid-late nighties. A couple of event "rave" organizers got together and through a free party on city halls front door step (literally). This was a full blown setup, there had to have been at least 4000 thousand people there. The event was classified as a demonstration so it was all legit, anyway we managed to break city halls stereotypes and the law to the best of my knowledge never passed.

You have got to make them see the positive in the scene because all people not involved ever see is the negative.

I'd kill for Toronto's scene. Sadly, at least in L.A. people with the RIGHT plur style attitude are few and far between these days.

I realize im stereotyping here. But most of the electro kids i've met in L.A. couldnt be bothered at all. Hell even if I asked id likely just get responses like "What? lol thats so funny, im posting what you said to facebook! lol politics are gay HAHA"

Can somebody explain this a bit? I mean, this obv sucks but there must be some qualifications. ...they can't just prohibit any 3 1/2+ h party. anybody willing to fill a stupid european in on the details?

if this law gets passed. actually they can. its pretty much the equivallent of the uk's criminal justice act more or less.

Wouldnt this also mean that bars that hold night events from 9pm-2am have to wait till 11 to play music???

I'm from canada n we have fat bush raves all the time !

Looks to me like the underground is going to become much more underground...

This wll just push the scene underground, wehre there will be no EMTs, no Guaranteed water()BYOW), insurance wont be an issue becuase there wont be any. basically it wil push everyone out to the deserts and to the old warehouses in downtown.

i believe there is an exception in the law regarding clubs that are licensed.

would also require a permit from the city for every event. which already pretty much happens.. but the problem lies in the 3.5 hour, pre-recorded music bs
