sorry you experienced that. thats why i just stick to clubs now.
man, i really hate reading stuff like this. makes me ashamed about that whole "land of the free" thing.

It's fucking disgusting. It's been this beat on the west coast since 92? I was too young to go to raves then, but I can remember the scene being great till around 1998 on the east coast. After that everything changed. It wasn't about the music, good times, and good people. The whole vibe was different.
Did the RAVE act actually go through? Safe rooms illegal. Glow sticks and bottled water = paraphinalea... et al
bullshit reasons any politician can stand behind to show they are tough on drugs.
