You know, it has gotten to the point where the distinction between raves an clubs has gotten to be so blataltly obvious that it really isn't worth while to compare one to the other. I think the only aspect in which one could make a comparison is in how promoters and club owners use their shall we call it "charm". The prices of admission to certain parties and certain clubs has gotten to be ridiculous. The sad thing about it is that we have allowed it to get that bad because we pay the prices they are posting without questioning the quality of treatment we get from them in both the talent they are providing and how they treat their patrons as a whole.

So wichever one of you it was who said the you almost have to be snobby about where you choose to go, My hat is tipped to you. If there's anything to be done about the scene it has to come from a purely psychological standpoint. We as a whole cannot afford to be indiferent to what is happening because that gets us nowhere. We need to be more concious about what our actions are going to portray about our scene.

A few weeks ago I went to an outlaw which started out with a bunch of party kids waiting for a particular subway at a particular stop. It was supposed to be a good vibe event, with good music and a bunch of friends. What it turned out to be was a shameful display of people who don't have enough common sense to know how to behave themselves in a moment of unrestrained fun. THe subway cars at the end of this ride looked like a major natural disaster had passed through them. When we finally got to our destination people were being so noisy and obnoxious that neighboors immediately felt compelled to call the cops. Needles to say the party was busted within minutes of its gotten started. So I ask, if this is the kind of behaviour people display when they go to parties what the heck do we expect.

Selectiveness should not only apply to venues and DJ talent it should also apply to the type of people you allow to partake of the scene. We don't need people who are in it for damaging reasons. If you wnat to do drugs do them but do them responsably and know your limit. THere is no fun in complete obliteration. If you just can't contain your enthsiasm because your parents are not around to tell you what to do and you have finally been able to experience a moment of "true" freedom, try to have fun without ruining someone else's good time by bein g destructive toward somone else's property or their person. If you feel that you can't handle any of the two factors I mentioned then stay the hell out of the scene. Just stay home and get fucked up if that's what you consider to be fun. At least that way you'll save yourself the price of admission to a party which you wouldn't have a memory of being at because of bein g so fucked up that you can't remember where you went or what you did. It will also save the scene another horrible event to add to the many for which we are being attacked.

Just my oppinion.
