The show was siiiiick. For me, nothing will ever top his live show with Reprazent in March 2001, but this was definetly up there. Even better than when I saw him in Toronto in 2003.

The remixes were incredible. The MCing was good for the most part, though it kinda got weak towards the end. Still, I didn't mind it.

Seriously, great fuckin' show. It's been a while since I rocked out to some serious drum n bass in Montreal. I needed it. Hardsteppers did a great job.

i used to think the same way, then i realized just how crazy the idea is unless i'm armed.

if the dude savagely took out 5 people, what the fuck am i going to be able to do? it's not like i know martial arts or have extensive self-defense training. plus who knows if he's gonna pull out a knife or gun?

i know it's selfish, but i'd be reluctant to intervene.

.xxx has been around for quite sometime. however, sites on the .xxx level were only accessible by people who had a plugin installed.

like ian said, it's in the process of becoming an official TLD. there's no word as to what will happen to the exisiting .xxx domains since they weren't all registered with official registrars.

the republicans have been trying to pass a bill for a while condemning all sites to the .xxx TLD. hopefully, it'll never pass. if it does, another downside is that it would be too easy for ISPs to straight out block all .xxx domains from being surfed. as well, it'll render useless literally hundreds of millions of dollars of domain names useless. and then there's the issue of handling redirects from [ .com ] to .xxxs, which would be a total headache.

you'd be surprised how much money a site like that can make if promoted properly. BBW is a very lucrative niche.

you make me want to vomit.

who had left to prompt this?

hahaha... yep, barclay. on the corner of hudson, right around the corner from the pool at kent park.

psyko514 if anyone wants to add me and test it out.

what street? i lived in cdn for like 6 years and the worst i ever saw was a man stabbed to death on my front lawn. no shootings though.

apparently, the party didn't even need a permit. the statute in utah says a permit is needed if attendance is over 250 people and the party is expected to go more than 12 hours. this party was set to run from 9 PM to 7 AM, which is only 10 hours.

in an ultra-conservative state like utah, emails to politicians and the news stations they control will do accomplish sweet fuck all, unfortunately.

read what the salt lake tribune wrote about the situation. all stories have two sides, in this case, we've got the side of the police and the side of the partygoers. the story from the partygoers' side is reduced to one paragraph with no reaction whatsoever and that the paragraph in question is followed by a paragraph of anyti-rave propaganda.

I noticed you put up a bad link for Knick's account of events.

Here it is in full: (and here's some footage)

Last night, I was booked to play an event about an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The hype behind this show was huge, they presold 700 tickets and they expected up to 3,000 people total. The promoters did an amazing job with the show.. they even made slipmats with the flyers on them to promote in local shops.

So, we got to the show around 11:15 or so and it was really cool. It was all outdoors, in a valley surrounded by huge mountains. They had an amazing light show flashing on to a mountain behind the site, the sound was booming, the crowd was about 1500 people thick and everything just seemed too good to be true really. Well...

At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I wasn't far off.

The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the crowd. I was kind of in awe and just sat and watched this thing circle us for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or go to jail". This is where it got really sticky.

No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully. Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene.

Now, this is all I saw with my own eyes, but I heard plenty of other accounts of the night. Now this isnt gossip I heard from some candy raver, these are instances cited straight out of the promoters mouth..

- One of the promoters friends (a very small female) was attacked by one of the police dogs. As she struggled to get away from it, the police tackled her. 3 grown men proceeded to KICK HER IN THE STOMACH.

- The police confiscated 3 video tapes in total. People were trying to document what was happening out there. The police saw one guy filming and ran after him, tackled him and his camera fell, and luckily.. his friend grabbed it and ran and got away. priceless footage. That's not all though. Out of 1,500 people, there's sure to be more footage.

- The police were rounding up the staff of the party and the main promoter went up to them with the permit for the show and said "here, I have the permit." The police then said, "no you don't" and ripped the permit out of his hand. Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said "get the fuck out of here right now."



Now.. let's get the facts straight here.

This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.

Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That's right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!

Don't get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties. The police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con's with an agenda.

This was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed in person. I can't even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why? Was that really necessary?

This needs to be big news across the USofA. At least in our music scene (edm as a whole)... this could happen to any of us at any time. When we're losing the right to gather peacefully, we're also letting the police set a standard of what we can get away with. And I think that's BULLSHIT!

The system fucked up last night... They broke up a party that was 100% legal and they physically hurt a lot of people there at the same time. The promoters already have 6 lawsuits ready to file with their lawyers and the ACLU is already involved.

I'm sure some pictures (and hopefully some video) will surface soon. I'll make sure to post them up here on 404, so you can see the Police State of America at work.

Christ. I just read Knick's account on another forum.

That's beyond fucking retarded. That's outrageous. It's hard to believe that happened. Wow.

P. Diddy has changed his name to just Diddy.

He felt the P prevented him from getting closer to his fans.

That's awesome.

Je pense que la toune c'est "K90- Perfect Love".

ravers are smelly.

btw, you should call the resort first and ask them what kind of id they want.

considering you need a passport to go to mexico, they could reasonably ask for your passport and nothing else. and then you'd be fucked, fake id or not.

why would you go to a 21+ resort in another country if you're not 21+?

and mojitos are definetly cuban.

different states have different laws. for example, in AZ, they'll only take passport or driver's license.

am i the only one who hasn't snagged some ravewave action?

weak.

at least i scored some raveweb action.

gross.

That sounds pretty interesting. Any idea what channel is shows on? I'm guessing the Sci-Fi Channel?

Meaning you'd consider taking him to court simply to screw him over for a few months rent? It's a good idea, but you have to decide if it's really worth your time.

Unfortunately, the dude fucked you proper. Even if you go to the Regie and can win the case, it'll take several months. And on top of that, if you win, you'd be living in a building where the owner obviously doesn't want you there. He'd make your life a living hell.

crazyness. i figured you lived close, but not that close!

i'll bet you spy on me while i sleep!

There's also some interesting Under Pressure stuff going down on the 13th (Saturday).

Just so y'all know.

$15 for that line-up is absolutely wicked.

newbies make me hungry.

Fucking right. There's no way I'm missing this. Haven't seen Roni Size spin in a year and a half.



That show was hands down the greatest show I've ever been to. I was with my ex and two of her friends. We were actually on their tour bus, drinking champagne with Reprazent while joints were being passed around. I've got the whole group's autograph on one of my old visors.

luba lounge is the only lounge i've been to, and i like it there.

+ large two floor 4 1/2 with storage space
+ great landlord who loves me
+ quiet neighbours who don't complain
+ cheap rent
+ plenty of parking
+ three grocery stores within walking distance
+ picasso's within walking distance
+ friendly neighbourhood
+ lilac bush outside my office window
+ pear and cherry tree out back
+ plenty of 24 hr places in the area
+ faulty wiring means 50+% of my electricity is free
+ heated, with brand new windows

- needs some repairs
- not much green space in the backyard
- cat hair everywhere
- needs some paint touch-ups
- not enough power outlets

soul trey... judging by your mention of car body shops and motels, i'm betting you live pretty close to me. i'm on grand/st-jacques.

it is? nice!

I'm not bothered so much when a close friend or family member asks me for help. What bothers me is when I get referrals.

"Oh, I gave my brother your phone number. He's going to call you because he's having problems with his computer."

"Great. Can you give me his address so I can send him a bill for my time?"

education from learning? you don't say? fascinating.



i'm just being a jackass, don't worry. my education comes from the same place.

jaded is there. awesome.

what about rolling? or peaking?

i go out all the time. and i travel a lot too.

don't listen to neoform. education is useless.

Right now, I'm sitting at home, in my air conditioned office, in my boxers, going through hundreds of pictures of naked women. And I'm getting paid for it.

I guess my job isn't too bad...

hahaha... wtf.

happy birthday, sharon :)
