  • Interesting post! On a health and safety point of view I would say be prepared for evacuation if necessary, ie have appointed persons per room/area who will guide people out of the building. I think this is very important.

    althought this is pre CJB, DIY did take the law to court and won back every speaker, record, lead and truck, although in a fairly sorry state. Their defence? The wasn’t a single complaint about noise. I guess the CJB has made that a little bit trickyer now. But there you go!

    I propose that we ALL bring our resources together and make the largest events in the world. I am willing to do this for free – sacrifice my own paycheck to make it happen. these events need to have an awareness, an intention. Where do we need to direct the energy in order to facilitate and encourage the greatest healing for all?

    but how do we become the largest and greatest without submitting to the very empire-building ethos that both our nations are currently caught up in to the detriment of the wider world?

    This sounds a bit like one of our “psy trance parties” in England (particularly with all the “hippy stuff”)

    I see what you are getting at to an extent (although nowadays on the underground party scene in England “hippy stuff” is treated with some cynicism and is often laughed at) – but at the same time we are a community (to an extent) and people pool their resources to hold these events.

    I’m not sure how you would link communities across nations when not everyone can afford to or is permitted to travel – for one thing I would have difficulty getting a US visa as I was busted for drugs many years back and it is on my record…

    but I think stuff like this board and the internet used positively are great for linking like-minded groups of people across national borders. Perhaps you might like to put up a few photos of your parties on your site as well? We would be interested to see what these events are like..

    what would happen if all the ravers – no matter where they were all agreed to party at the same time?

    I think the Europeans tried it with the “wolf packs” night; (how did it go BTW)?

    Unfortunately in true British fashion there wasn’t much interest in our country in the small scale events; the crews here tried to do a big multi-rigger and got busted by cops quite heavily.

    If doing this across national boundaries, it may only work in areas where the time zones are not too far apart anyway…

    Now, let’s laugh.

    certainly seems like a good idea – even if it is just when you are setting out for a party thinking about the other crews in other coutnries and wishing them the best of luck (or indeed exchanging stories, photos and ideas about parties!)

    Run it to coincide with the International Dance day – week or Dance and the healthy city or one of the Big charities like the Heart Foundation who dance for your hearts sake I was just browsing an stopped and looked. I’m involved around the Southampton UK squat/rave/dance partyscene technoterri@gmail.com Enjoy yourselves only one life!

    Int’l Dance Day!!!! Who could have thought of a better thing….I think we’ll have a number of those (hehehe). Yes, and some ”guest lists” – a peice of paper entitled ”Guest List” with the words “everyone who’s not working for a state owned capitalist venture” written underneath shouold suffice.

    where is this party and is there ne in pa md or wv 😀 its really important to hear from u we r the soul ravers and need more partys to keep the publics interest.
    thanx

    Can anybody help me with something I heard.

    i was talking with some friends about parties etc & apparently – (this is what I need verifying) if you have a sound system that you have hired (which means that your mate writes you a receipt for the equipment etc) then even if confiscated the hirer goes to the police to reclaim ‘their’ sound system which some naughty ravers have dragged to the middle of a large field to brainwash the innocent minds of the yout with their devil techno…

    Is this true? Has anyone tried it? does it work?

    I can see that the ‘hirer’ would probably not be involved with the actual party – i.e. not be there…
    Any thoughts anyone?
    P.L.U.R.

    Besides the fact that you would be treading on dangerous ground with that, it doesn’t actually work. I’ve heard a few people who have had to front the money to the company for every day that the system is impounded.

    My advice. Don’t do it. I’m not sure of the legal ins and outs but if you were caught out you could be charged with something like: “perverting the course of justice” or even fraud.

    what may have worked briefly in the mid 1990s (when cops themselves didn’t know much about how to use the CJA) does not work on mature legislation.

    the cops have plenty of “soft intelligence” on who is involved in free parties.

    Authorities automatically assume those linked with the entertaiments or music industry (licensed or otherwise) will have a pre-disposition to criminal activity – this is a prejudice older than the Police service themseves (the first legal restrictions on travelling musicians in Britain were made in the 1300s!)

    Cops have no problems about holding a hired rig, and if the “hire company reps” attend the police they would probably be interviewed (although not under arrest) as cops tried to find out whether they knew the party was unlicensed or not. they may also (if they suspect collusion) accuse the hire company of knowingly aiding this event – which leaves them open to further civil and criminal penalties.

    even if a legitimate company complained they would just say “yes, you have had a financial loss but what about the landowners/building owners? you can’t make profit at someone elses cost…”

    They would then say the only way they could recover their loss would be to make a criminal or civil claim against the organisers alleging they had been duped into supplying sound equipment for an illegal event. Obviously if they are friends the hirers would be unwilling to do this!
