hahahah....

Should the City of Vancouver continue to allow legal Raves?
Yes (40%)
No (59%)

I'd like to know what happened to the other 1%

I voted yes, but only because mainstream parties do a really good job of keeping trend followers out of the underground scene.

yes, I'm an elitist. sue me.

The people at the news station must be wondering why the poll is so skewed.

They must be thinking 'etarded raver kids don't listen to our station....'

That they should be made illegal again..

Then the regulations will go away, as with the permit process...

Ticket prices will go down, venues will be interesting again, and people who show up at them wont be opportunistic bastards who sell crap E that kills people.

Only bummer is that more parties will get busted too.

I think that the "legal rave" vs. the "legally gray party" is what totally killed this scene.

Oh well.

Bars in Vancouver will be open all night soon.. Thats the next "legal rave wave" anyways.

One way or the other... We'll keep throwing events no matter what.

Porpentine · #20 (**permalink**) Nov 02, 01

personally i am ambivalent about this issue. maybe they should be illegal so we won't have people dying at huge legal parties (ie. spooky and stargate) and giving all parties a bad name.

Rytalin · #21 (**permalink**) Nov 02, 01

Sir K...

The only reason I don't agree with your logic there is that if ALL parties were made illegal, then all there would be are the small ones everywhere. No massives too attract the kinds of people who are going to OD and do stupid shit, etc. Those massive goers would all start going to underground parties and bring their bad party habits with them. It would result in more ODs./deaths (or any OD's/ deaths PERIOD) at small parties, and alot more of them would get busted too because some kids just don't know how not to be heaty. Not to mention that the media right now probably has NO IDEA how many small underground parties go on, and if massives were taken out of the picture, then the media attention would be focused solely on illegal parties and give them a bad name.

so for those reasons, I think massives should be kept legal, in order to mask the underground scene from everyone else.

Exactly, Luke =)

Scapegoatage!

Sir_K · #23 (**permalink**) Nov 02, 01

Rytalin or Luke or whatever:

I see your point, and agree with what you've said there.

But the flipside is this:

Look at the enforcement of drugs:

Marijuana... Cocaine... E... Heroin.... Whatever...

Even though its totally illegal and heavily punishable by law, the cops cant really do a thing to stop it.

When a heroin junkie ODs it doesnt even make the news because its all an illegal underground thing.. Vs. what happened at Spooky - where its front page material - although 2 deaths of 4600 is WAYYY better odds than what happens to the serious addicts on the streets. (Although anyone dying is a terrible thing. :( )

Once they legalize it, then they create ammo to shut down the small parties - "You dont have a permit, you're busted" and keep the big parties going "Pay your permit, $1000 please, thankyou" because it becomes a moneymaker for the city.

I dont know.. I'm kind of divided on the issue.. But I like the scapegoat idea, I like the totally illegal idea... It requires some serious thought for all of us.

When these deaths happened though, (and for that matter, when ANY death happens at a rave) just about anyone who cares about the scene usually jumps at the chance to help defend it. The article in the Sun about the spooky deaths had Markpaul in it, talking about how that kind of thing usually only happens at big parties. There are LOTS of intelligent people who are willing to defend our scene.

Once they legalize it, then they create ammo to shut down the small parties - "You dont have a permit, you're busted" and keep the big parties going "Pay your permit, $1000 please, thankyou" because it becomes a moneymaker for the city.

They're gonna do that to illegal parties either way. They'll have the ammo to shut down illegal parties no matter WHAT the policy on raves are. If its illegal, its illegal. and they'll shut it down if they want.

I dont know.. I'm kind of divided on the issue.. But I like the scapegoat idea, I like the totally illegal idea... It requires some serious thought for all of us.
