#1389 Tue, 02 Jan 2001 16:37:51 Oxygen/nootropics To: reubenfirmin at yahoo at egroupswell, not sure re: lucidreaming but i believe in positive effect, quantitatively. thoughts are like software running on a ever faster computer – the code (your life) has to be rewritten to take advantage of a faster processor. but a caveat – “fat” programs like Word 7.0 may be too bulky than a no nonsense word program written for, say, Linux. I’ll let you connect the dots. btw, day #5 of ‘upshift’ with Homozon and piracetam- woke up at 4AM, scribbled stuff (ideas) down on paper for about an hour (they just kept on coming, you no doubt know the creative urge), went back to sleep, lucid dreamed. part of the ‘normal’ process?

#1397 Tue, 09 Jan 2001 14:23:05 North Carolina 1/26 From: thank you all again for coimg out on the 6th and to the after party bom shankar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don’t want to miss this 01.26.01 come and witness an amazing 10 HR !!!!! set by KRI THE STORY OF KRI Kri began his musical journey in Winston Salem, NC writing industrial music in 1990. He made a cross over into the sounds of techno music and began learning the art of DJing. In just a few short years, Kri established a name for himself in the rave community, playing with many major acts. By 1994 Kri founded Did You Ever Think? a production company and opened up Evolution, a tattoo and body piercing studio in Winston Salem. He met a young DJ turntablist named Faust, who went on to become ranked number five in the world, and started another production company named Space Kadets Collective. As the years go by Kri continues to play with Faust and himself all over the southeast. Kri mixed a diverse range of styles of techno but was best known for his breakbeat and scratching skills. While performing in Atlanta, he was browsing in a record store and came across a section marked “GOA.” He heard some samples, bought several records and immediately felt a deep, profound connection to this music. That night being booked to play a breakbeat set, Kri played this ominous beautiful trance music and as a result did not get booked for six months after his performance at the URB/Smile tour. Kri became so bewitched by psychedelic goa trance and frustrated by the lack of understanding from the techno community he again formed a new production company, this time solely devoted to the sounds of goa trance. This was the dawn of Utta Chaos. This also marked the time of departure to the progressive, freak mountain community of Asheville, NC. Asheville welcomed him with loving arms and he felt he had finally found the support and understanding of the music that it deserved. Utta Chaos became infamous for their wildly free parties and their delivery of a true psychedelic experience. Kri began to make more contacts and has earned the recognition in the international trance family, playing in New York and Puerto Rico with such greats as Hallucinogen, MFG, Infected Mushroom, Total Eclipse tours in Europe and Africa. Kri has an intense passion for playing goa trance and has gained a loyal following in the Southeast and New York. Living in the beautifully surreal mountains of Asheville he wants to use trance as a means towards working towards a higher consciousness. The parties are dedicated to the primitive nature of the music and a return to the origin of our roots. Kri has also been inspired to compose his own compilations that have been received with great response. After being immersed in trance for six years now, comes T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi, reflecting the spiritual evolution through the sonic vibrations of psychedelic goa trance. Kri has a deep gratitude and love for all the Asheville family who has supported him and shared his vision. fri. jan. 26th 2001 at the future traditions from 10pm-8am price of entry is $ 5 18 & up must have I.D. to enter no if’s an’s or but’s or i know so and so. think of this place as a worship center. keep it clean don’t trash this venue or its bathrooms in any way shape or form. it is a god send that we are able to use this place, so lets keep it that way! please please party responsibly. don’t push your limits, no bad vibes or attitudes. or you will be kicked out. we try our best to provide a safe place for you to party so please party safe so that we may continue to bring you the very best psy-trance events to come . life’s a blur stay in focus! directions are : from east : take I-40 west to 240 west (downtown asheville) then exit monford ave. and turn left at light. then turn right at next light follow around and stay left, go straight through light and that will put you on clingman. then turn left on roberts. future traditions is the white warehouse on the corner. enter the left front door and go all the way up stairs. from west: take I-40 east to 240 east (downtown asheville) then exit patton ave (downtown). then turn right on clingman. then turn left on roberts. future traditions is the white warehouse on the corner. enter the left front door and go all the way up stairs. info web touchsamadhi or 828.691.2207 sat nam aum shiva kri web touchsamadhi in trance we believe

#1406 Thu, 18 Jan 2001 05:58:34 An articulate d experience From: Seven Minutes In the Primal Furnace- by S Ever since my first couple times doing d, i have had a far more difficult time remembering what happened, and there was a fear that kept me from taking the plunge too often. Both of these were cleared out of me the other night though when i smoked it again amongst new friends: it was once again lucidly available to my memory and i had the joy of attempting to put words to the unlanguageable. Enjoy! DOSE : 50mg synthetic d in a glass pipe on a small bed of dill, three large, hot, plasticy tokes: Upon inhalation, the trembling darkness before me crystallized instantly into a shimmering vortex of lime-colored tessera and began a meticulous implosion in upon itself. Pulses of sinuous electric energy shot along it from behind me and I could see them disappear down its infinite corridor. Each one came faster and faster and faster until this typhoon like tunnel was throbbing with supple, supernova pulsations. It was then that I began to accelerate, an auditory drone that seemed to flange at the edges of my being propelling me along. I couldn’t believe the breakneck speed with which I was beginning to move, like a proton in a hyperspatial supercollider. The breathtakingly ecstatic sensation of being literally shot out of the confines of my corporeal body was overwhelming, and already my mind was grasping wildly about for some semblance of familiarity. No previous d journey had ever moved this fast. The vortex started coiling then, curling and cycling into its cylindrical self, and I became aware that it was but one strand in a warping and wefting dimension which was now materializing and taking on a thousand outlandish forms all around me. Ahead was an entirely ludicrous, tensile, concentric, mandala-like disco-medusa that wore about it a technicolor dreamcoat of fibrillating antennae, surrounded by an ultraviolet aura. Instantly I could tell it was alive: some sort of a sentinel. Then seemingly out of nowhere and from every direction at once came these freakish tentacles of liquid lapis lazuli. They began moving together with an almost orchestral hyperprecision, and I was completely mesmerized – it was like nothing I had ever seen. I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at – there must literally have been thousands of them – I was utterly flabbergasted. I knew I must find a way past this creature though, as extraordinary as she was. We were still cruising along at the speed of light, now descending backwards together through an amoeboid, octahedral gallery of iridescent vaults. It was at this moment that I became suddenly aware we were not alone. The vaults seemed to zoom explosively outward then and the gallery expanded ad infinitum into a gargantuan, labrynthine, almost interstellar space, and through every vault poured the miraculous and zany imps who make the tryptamine hyperdimension their home. The tentacles of lapis lazuli gathered these capricious, multi-colored enigmas in towards the center, and became the architectonic scaffolding of their new multi-dimensional reality, a world which I found myself dab smack in the middle of. It was like a liquid mind ecology of staggering and alien complexity, the mind as it crosses over into quantum warpdrive and migrates ever further out into the oceanic beyond. At this point the glorious geometries transcended what is even vaguely feasible in this three dimensional mundane, constantly concrescing into new and variegated permutations, exfoliating out of themselves what might be called hyperspherologies of the divine, and to look anywhere was to be shot clean through with scintillating amazement. Crowding and cramming themselves into my field of vision were thousands upon thousands of beings of every imaginable sort and many that were completely unimaginable. They were everywhere jabbering in indecipherable tongues, juggling incandescent neon microworlds of dancing beings, and morphing with a zen-like, diaphanous fluidity that remains a primal miracle no matter how often you lay your all too human eyes on it. The primordial intelligence being manifest before me was palpable, undeniable, transcendently amazing – it shook me to my core in a more-than-real gleeful profundity. All I could do was sit there in divine liquid awe, my soul gaping wide open, and stare at the incalculable proportions of bizarreness and the down right weird that lay before me. It was like being entertained by the 76,000 piece orchestra of an alien civilization in whose classical music each note is not merely a musical tone, but an entire world, each just as intricate and nuancical as our own. You have a sense of being swarmed by the whimsical mastermind artforms of an extremely eccentric Boolean contortionist, a diabolical merry go round of linguistic Rubix cubes, 13th dimensional millipedes saying themselves to themselves as they make love, and impossible Gordian knots dancing the jitterbug at a lyrical lightspeed: a gelatinous ballet of endlessly self-juxtaposing pirouettes. You realize all at once you have arrived and are now having darshan with this gigantically insectoid, otherworldly Oz. They came at me again and again, a more than possible tsunami of opalescent combobulations, like rivers of music and miracles and clowns, the flood gates of my soul thrown wider than wide with the sheer magnitude of this dazzling, world-devouring spectacle. It was the primal, otherworldly bewilderness of the Andalusian gardens that grow in the antipodes of the mind, the crystalline vegetal perplexity of its delectable ecologies spilling and dripping and pouring like liquid diamonds from my eyes. The presence of what is awesome, what is wildly and passionately and numinously alive, filled every meridian in the vast continent of my expanded being, an intensity of joy and love and life coursing like heavenly ambrosia through my electrified veins. It was as though I myself was god, moving through liquid ecologies of god, the self-crystallizing emerald labyrinths of the tryptamine dreamtime, a marvelous infundibulum of plasmoidal calisthenics. What occurred was a total meltdown of everything I know and hold dear, utter surrender into the honeycomb lovewomb of the universe reborn, born anew in a thousand unendingly magnificent eyes, and Maya and Lila handheld spinning in sundream dandelions, my five senses spinning like a zillion gyroscopes round the centripetal amthyst of this all and everything. I was there, and then I was back – zap like before – I was back before I even knew I was back, the dimensions subsiding very quickly within me as the last few molecules of d were cracked wide open and gone. The room before me buzzed and shimmered like the most unlikely dream. The world? Oh yes – I remember – I like it there. Hello people. You look so normal and good. But wait, somthing just happened. What was that thing? Oh YES, OH MY LORD YES…..everything was still a shimmering mindmirage or bliss and joy and awe. WOW…… I think I said that: WOW…… To think that we all spend hours there every night, after *we* have been metabolized away that is, and that every day the collectivity of human consciousness looks upon that miracle for over 50 billion hours, is more than any of us can even begin to begin to understand. Seven minutes spent in that dimension, the primal furnace of our being, is enough for most people to think about for the rest of their lives. How miraculously absurd and awe-inspiring is our situation as humans then, that we are somehow built around this certain little molecule, only four atoms away from serotonin, the neurotransmitter which mediates and colors every aspect of our waking lives. It is like the human body is a door, a portal, and d is the key that opens our experience to the all-possible, the everything dimension, which surrounds us on all sides though we see it not. That the simple quantum difference of four atoms can open this for anyone to see is, and will remain, the greatest, most mysterious enigma in this life. The day we unlock its secrets we will for the first time awaken from the dream.

#1410 Mon, 22 Jan 2001 21:19:40 Tsunami news From: What a great down and dirty party this last friday! 1. Christopher Jones and Alex Munschnik Vitalizubry? of the BTS were spotted and removed by security after Alex was told he needed to try some Slimfast. Jones’ original post to me appears on brainmachines/btswatch.html implicating him in the assault of an Israeli at a bridge party 3 years ago that was advertised everywhere via flyers. I forgot to take their pictures; oh welll next time. Frank Owen, the writer of the original Details article will be getting info from us for an upcoming Village Voice article. 2. A girl wandered over a velvet rope and into the brainmachine station where whe “just wanted to sit down for a second” and had an epileptic seizure. She is OK. But I packed up all my gear anyway, it looked baaaaad. Witnesses verify that she never had in fact put on the glasses so my liability is still safe. Angel’s benefit in Greenpointe on Saturday was off the hook. See ya’ll at Spectra this weekend. And a message to a select few – PEZ ON EARTH!

#1412 Thu, 25 Jan 2001 01:41:00 National Psychedelics Month From: Is February National Psychedelic Consumption month? Can we make it that? PSYCHEDELIC 60s MARATHON on THE BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL A GROOVY, DAY-LONG HAPPENING FEATURING THE WORLD PREMIERE OF BIOGRAPHY: TIMOTHY LEARY From 2pm to 12 Midnight ET, Hang Loose With the Decades Most Influential, Counter-Cultural Icons including Rockers Brian Wilson, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, David Crosby, Janis Joplin and More! NEW YORK, NY, January 24, 2001 As 60s guru Dr. Timothy Leary was fond of saying: Turn on, tune in and drop out. Drop out, that is, on February 4th from 2pm to 12 Midnight ET for The Biography Channels PSYCHEDELIC 60s MARATHON. Transporting viewers back into the tumultuous decade when the nations social fabric was torn by the Vietnam War, and a young counter-culture made sex, ds and rock and roll the lyrics to its national anthem, the special marathon features, among other programming, the World Premiere of BIOGRAPHY: TIMOTHY LEARY. The 10-hour marathon airs on THE BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL on February 4 from 2pm-12 Midnight ET. Aside from delving into the life and times of the seminal 60s icon who brought psychedelic ds into the national zeitgeist, THE BIOGRAPHY CHANNELs PSYCHEDELIC 60s MARATHON brings viewers back to a time of free love, long hair and electric cool-aid acid tests with other profiles including legendary rockers Brian Wilson, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, David Crosby, Janis Joplin and notorious murderer Charles Manson. This special, retro happening also wouldnt be complete without two trippy, mood-altering documentaries which will also be featured: Getting High: A History of l and Psychedelic Science. The World Premiere of BIOGRAPHY: TIMOTHY LEARY traces the long, strange trip of the larger-than-life academic-turned-cultural icon. From his early days as a respected Harvard professor experimenting freely with l to his eventual fall from grace with the American establishment, Leary helped define a generation with his bold pronouncements and rallying cries. And, along the way, he surrounded himself with the foremost minds and cultural superstars of the time, who followed his gospel with a 60s-era abandon. While delving into his esoteric background, BIOGRAPHY also explores whether or not Leary believed his own rhetoric about ds, and what effect they had on him personally.

MINDSCAPE’S EZINE FEATURED ARTICLE: STRESS RELIEF TECHNIQUE Techniques to Reliev e Stress and Tensions In today’s face-paced, hectic world, stress-related illnesses are more co mmon than the common cold. We all face it, but how we deal with it makes th e difference between being healthy and being sick. When you are feeling be sieged, whether it’s a boss breathing down your back or your child screamin g for dinner, the best way to deal with the stress is to step away from it. Since it’s not possible to walk away from your job, or leave your child al one screaming, you must learn to step away mentally when you can’t physical ly. The greatest way of dealing with stress is with humor. Again, if you ca n’t verbalize, internalize. When your boss is demanding the impossible, try remembering the time when he had broccoli stuck in his teeth or his tie wa s caught in his zipper. This alleviates the inner-tension you are feeling a s well as putting your boss in perspective – he’s just as fallible as the r est of us. Many times using humor can relieve tension and stress. In the m idst of a heated argument with your spouse or even your child, saying somet hing funny and totally off the wall can transform the domestic dispute into a “family moment”. We are all overwhelmed by the chaotic times in which we live. We are always running, dropping kids at day care, car-pooling to bas eball games, going to meetings, and we know all too well that this constant rush to be somewhere ten minutes ago can lead to road rage. First rule of thumb: when you’re late, you’re late and there’s really nothing you can do about it. Beeping your horn, looking at your watch, and trying to change la nes isn’t going to get you there any faster. If you have a cell phone, call and explain your situation, then sit back and relax. Take a deep breath an d always keep an “emergency” cassette tape in your car. Make a tape of your favorite, upbeat songs, that you can listen to and sing along with while y ou’re stuck in traffic, or make a tape of your favorite stand-up comedian t o listen to while all the other drivers around you are busy fighting. Tune them out, turn the music on and relax. When family and work responsibiliti es overpower us, we are useless to everyone, especially ourselves. To deal with the huge amount of responsibilities we face on a daily basis follow th e three “ize”s. Prioritize, compartmentalize and visualize. Since we can o nly do so many things at one time, prioritize. If you have a report due but promised to take your child to the playground, chance are you can do both. Work on your report while your child plays in the sandbox. On the other ha nd, if you have an important presentation due next week, a business trip ne xt month and a sick child today, compartmentalize. It’s useless to worry ab out next week today. Take care of your sick child today and do not think ab out next week or next month. Worrying about what will happen, what could ha ppen or what won’t happen will only lead to nothing at all happening!! Whe n in a stressful situation totally beyond your control, visualize. Close yo ur eyes and picture yourself lying on a beach, or strolling through a field of daisies. This visualization has an extremely calming effect; you’ll fee l the tension melting away be you will be prepared to face pressures head-o n. Remember also to make time for yourself. Treat yourself each day to som ething special – a hot bubble bath, an ice cream cone, a trashy novel. It d oesn’t have to be elaborate or take a lot of time, it just has to make you feel good and relaxed. Unfortunately, stress has become a necessary evil in our lives, but with the right attitude, it won’t engulf us. Remember, “whe n life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” 2001 – NEW YEAR – NEW PRODUCTS Gl asses By popular demand! Our Spectrum Pro glasses are being reintrodu ced this month.

#1422 Mon, 29 Jan 2001 20:36:06 On the cover of the Times today My buddy John Draper AKA Cap’n Crunch, the first phone phreak hacker and a good buddy of Goa Gil’s When he came to New York he stayed at my house: ht January 29, 2001 From Outl aw to Consultant By JOHN MARKOFF MENLO PARK, Calif. 97 There are many le gendary figures here in Silicon Valley. There are men like Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniak, Bill Hewlett and . There are stories of brilliance and i nnovation and avarice. But there may be no tale so poignant as that of Jo hn T. Draper, the mythical “phone phreak” who became a national figure in 1971 after being one of the first to discover that a toy whistle in the Ca p’n Crunch cereal box could trick the telephone network into giving free telephone calls. Widely known as Captain Crunch, Mr. Draper has had a rema rkable career since then. He was arrested and sent to prison for his tele phone exploits several times and graduated from phones to computers. He did the early design from a jail cell for EasyWriter, the word processing program that came with the first I.B.M. PC in 1981. In the intervening dec ades he was for a while a millionaire who owned a house in Hawaii. But he has also lost jobs and been homeless more than once. He hacked into comput er networks, using some of the same skills he honed on the telephone syste m. His back was permanently injured in a prison beating in Pennsylvania. H e was robbed on a Texas highway where he lost a notebook computer containi ng the only copy of his autobiography. For years he wandered the world wor king where he could as a high-tech hobo 97 including the Goa coast in Ind ia, where in 1999 he spent six months coding Web sites for an Indian entr epreneur. Throughout all of his travels and travails, however, Mr. Draper has maintained an almost childlike sense of optimism, and now he is tryin g to start over. With a small group of partners 97 and perhaps a little l ate to the game 97 Mr. Draper is seeking to take part in the Internet boo m. In a venture that will no doubt raise concerns for some, he and his co nfederates have set up an Internet security software and consulting firm, aimed at protecting the online property of corporations. The company, whic h has been self- financed but is not soliciting venture capital, is called ShopIP. Mr. Draper, 57, describes himself as a “white-hat hacker” these d ays and sees his new venture as his way of repaying society for his misadv entures three decades ago. Mr. Draper vows that his hacking days are behin d him. In the last year, he says, he has thrown himself into the study of computer security techniques with the same passion with which he once stud ied the intricacies of the nation’s phone system. “My eyes were opened, a nd this has been a real change in direction in my life,” he said in an int erview at a coffee house here, just a mile from the telephone booth where a government informer once cornered him for his antics with a so-called bl ue box 97 an electronic device that could generate the tones necessary fo r commanding the phone network. “It made me realize that I could pay back society for my deeds in the past,” he added. After starting to develop a type of network-security software program known as a fire wall in 1999, Mr . Draper met a young businessman, Daniel Baggett, now 29, who had known th e older man by reputation and who now takes a sheltering stance toward him . “Part of my mission is to protect Crunch; I respect him,” Mr. Baggett s aid. “He played a huge role in the early days of the personal computer ind ustry, and it’s a crime he hasn’t been able to reap the rewards.” And yet the issue of white-hat vs. black-hat hackers has long been a thorny ethi cal debate in the computer security world, where some people have argued t hat there is no room for outlaws 97 reformed or otherwise. Others respond that the people who can best protect network computer systems are those w ith the most experience at testing their weaknesses. “Whether black hats can become white hats is not a black-and-white question,” said Peter Neuma nn, a computer security expert at SRI International, a research firm here. “In general, there are quite a few black hats who have gone straight and become very effective. But the simplistic idea that hiring overtly black-h at folks will increase your security is clearly a myth.” Mr. Draper’s pas t was largely defined by a widely read article by Ron Rosenbaum, “Secrets of the Little Blue Box,” which appeared in the October 1971 issue of Esqui re. The article described the activities of a small group of telephone “h obbyists,” including Mr. Draper, who had learned how to control and misuse the nation’s telephone network. In an essay in The New York Observer this month, Mr. Rosenbaum wrote that Captain Crunch became an American antiher o and a cultural icon in the intervening years. Two young men who devoure d the 1971 article were Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniak. At the time Mr. W ozniak was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. He and M r. Jobs spent several weeks frantically searching for Mr. Draper, who then lived in the San Jose area. After they contacted him, Mr. Draper arrived at Mr. Wozniak’s dorm room. Mr. Jobs recalls an outlandish character with moustache and horn- rim glasses who walked in and announced with a flouri sh, “It is I.” Mr. Draper tutored Mr. Wozniak and Mr. Jobs in the art of programming their own blue boxes, capable of gaining free 97 and illegal 97 access to the phone network. The two novice entrepreneurs sold the blu e boxes door-to-door on the Berkeley campus, several years before they fo unded Apple Computer. Things turned out less favorably for Mr. Draper. Aft er the Esquire article he became a target of the F.B.I. and in 1972 was ar rested and spent a short while in jail before being sentenced to five year s probation. Around this time he discovered Call Computer, a tiny company in Mountain View, Calif., that provided computer time-sharing services. Mr. Draper was still a student at a local community college, but the owner of Call Computer discovered that Mr. Draper had a flair for programming a nd offered him a job. Later, the programming tools Mr. Draper had develope d while working at Call Computer were widely used by many of the first per sonal computer designers. And while he did not entirely end his phone acti vities, he became a regular at the potluck dinners at the People’s Compute r Company, a counterculture educational organization in Menlo Park dedicat ed to making computers widely available. Mr. Draper’s new passion was com puting, but he was a phone- phreak recidivist. In fact, it was at a pay ph one across the street from the People’s Computer office near here where a government informer caught him in the act of telephone fraud. This time, Mr. Draper went to prison, spending October 1976 to February 1977 at the f ederal prison in Lompoc, Calif. For the final portion of his sentence he w as in a work- release program back in the Bay Area, where he began developing his EasyWriter program. During the day, he recalled, he would write the code. Then, at night, after returning to jail, he would s tudy the paper list of programming commands, looking for errors. “It was a n ideal situation,” he said. “It forced me to get off the computer and thi nk and debug my program.” Shortly after leaving prison, Mr. Draper was hi red by Apple Computer, at a time when the company had only 15 employees. H e developed a telephone-dialing card for the original Apple II computer. B ut Apple never marketed it for fear that it could be used as a powerful c omputer-controlled blue box. In an online posting a number of years ago Mr . Draper described the antics during Apple’s early period, which may help explain the company’s hesitation to put his modem on the market. “I can re member Woz programming it to repeatedly call Steve Jobs’s parents’ phone over and over again (in those days, there were very few answering machines ). I got blamed for what Woz did.” He also was blamed, by federal authorit ies, for a parole violation later that year for associating with known pho ne phreaks, and was sent to a federal penitentiary in Pennsylvania. There, as Mr. Draper recalls the episode, a fellow inmate asked for instructions on hacking into the telephone network. Suspecting the man to be an infor mer, he gave him bogus information. Unfortunately, when the inmate could n ot get the free phone calls he was expecting, he beat up Mr. Draper, who s till has several damaged vertebrae from the run- in. Despite his prison s tints, Mr. Draper enjoyed an unaccustomed affluence in the early 80’s, aft er Easy- Writer hit it big on the early I.B.M. PC’s. But his life lacked t he structure and discipline to make his comfort last. He drifted in and o ut of jobs, the most promising one with Ted Nelson, a social scientist and software designer at Autodesk, in Sausalito, Calif. Mr. Nelson was trying to perfect his hypertext software, a forerunner of the World Wide Web. B ut all too soon, Mr. Draper lost his job. He spent the mid-1990’s kicking about, winding up in San Diego in September 1996. There, he lived in an ar tists’ collective known as the Loft, which had a high- speed Internet conne ction. When the Loft fell apart, Mr. Draper was homeless. He spent time in Tijuana, then decided to move to Florida, where he had heard of an oppor tunity to work in Web-site development. It was on the road to Florida, at a roadside rest area in Texas, that the manuscript for his autobiography w hich he had worked on for four years was stolen from his car as he slept. But things started looking up in Florida, where he showed a natural apti tude as a Web programmer and his work came to the attention of an Indian b usinessman. That contact resulted in Mr. Draper’s spending six months on t he Goa coast, designing Web pages for companies there that were anxious to be on the Internet. After returning from India in late 1999, Mr. Draper s ettled in Fremont, across the Bay from Palo Alto. Sharing a cramped apartment with several friends, he began work on his software com pany. Today, Mr. Draper still lives a largely hand-to-mouth existence. Kn own for his manic intensity and insistent curiosity, he has the distinctio n of being one of the few people to lose his invitation to the Hackers Con ference, the annual gathering of the pioneers of the personal computing in dustry, where social graces are not usually a criterion for admission. Bu t there are those who have loyally stuck by Mr. Draper 97 including Mr. W ozniak, who gave him an Apple Macintosh PowerBook for Christmas. For his p art, Mr. Draper is enthusiastic about his new venture and conveys a true b eliever’s faith in the strength of his security software, which ShopIP pla ns to release to a group of test customers next month. Yet he acknowledge d the difficulties of living down the Captain Crunch legend. “I’m not a ba d guy,” he said. “But I’m being treated like a fox trying to guard the hen house.”

#1431 Review of SubtleChaos Thu, 1 Feb 2001 00:22:00 From: Down in the sketchiest part of Chinatown last night I went to Bar 169 to see Jason & Vadim of Subtlechaos play. Any doubts that I had not indeed truly entered New York Bladerunner 2001 were dispelled by the time I walked into a group of Triads negotiating each other’s blood levels with broken beer bottles. That was just the first corner. In the other corner there were some homeboys dancing like men and men and men and women. In another corner some really weirded out trance people were scattering about in a frentic metal synthesis provided by the fourth corner. Which had Jason & Vadim banging out tunes of constantly replenishing impending doom. I hope they weren’t offended when I handed them a CD that was given to me by Tihomir to give to Jason… the CD cover case had Sasha’s Expander EP. I suspect the CD inside parlayed more everlasting doom. And in the middle of all this, the accidental dosing I had given myself really kicked in. See ya’ll friday at Amissouri!!

#1445 brainmachinesFungi came from space!?! Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:45:08 From: Astronauts vs. Fungus Source: The Boston Globe Published: 10/1/2000 Author: Gareth Cook Orbiting spacecraft turns out to be food for aggressive mold By Gareth Cook, Globe Staff, 10/1/2000 he history books will never record it, but life in outer space was discovered about 12 years ago by a Russian cosmonaut as he was gazing out a window of the space station Mir. Squinting to set his sights on the passing Earth below, this space explorer instead focused on a thick living mat that had made its way up the window’s hard quartz surface, nearly obliterating any view. A microbiologist, Natalia Novikova, eventually identified the growth as an aggressive space fungus. And since then, she’s had her hands full examining the various forms of fungi found growing aboard the ship. The aging Mir, it turns out, is nearly overrun with the stuff. Visitors have found numerous fungal patches with hues between green and black, feeding behind control panels, slowly digesting the ship’s air conditioner, communications unit, and myriad other surfaces. Pull out an insulation panel on Mir, and you’ll probably find fungus. And in the heavy radiation of space, Novikova and others said, these fungi could mutate into more virulent forms, possibly harming future space travelers, or even be carried back to Earth to wreak havoc as they join the many earthbound varieties that relentlessly attack metal, plastic and glass surfaces. Scientists are discovering that ‘biodegradation,’ the term used to describe microbial damage to materials, is a far greater problem than previously thought. Fungal infections could explain why electronics fail more often than expected, and microbes, along with acid rain, are assaulting famous landmarks from the Taj Mahal to the Acropolis to the cathedral in Cologne. Just last month, China hired a Belgium company that said it would launch a three-year program to rid the 40 varieties of mold eating away the famed 2,200-year-old army of terra cotta warriors. The mold has attacked 1,400 of the 8,000 life-sized statues of soldiers and horses that were found in the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang, outside the city of Xian. But there’s no one to call to combat space mold, and NASA is suddenly treating the topic seriously. Decades of science fiction notwithstanding, it now seems the great threat to space exploration comes not from technologically advanced alien races, but from the same lowly fungi that attack dorm-room refrigerators. With the $60 billion International Space Station under construction, and more ambitious missions to the moon and Mars being considered, the Mir infection has shown that fungi are surprisingly destructive, giving off corrosive agents like acetic acid that damage equipment and release toxins into the environment. Spacecraft ‘are closed systems, and there is very little room for error,’ said Ralph Mitchell, a professor of applied biology at Harvard who has helped NASA come to terms with the microbial threat. ‘Within days, all of the astronauts share all of the same microflora … like children in kindergarten.’ Viewed under a microscope, many fungi look harmless, beautiful even, with long threads weaving a living filigree. But, unchecked, they happily destroy the things we build. Mitchell, in research for NASA, said that his team placed fungus on plastics the agency was considering for the International Space Station, and watched the effects. Over time, the plastics bubbled, released fumes, and broke off in thin strips. Placed on metals, he said, fungi can plunge through the surface, weakening it with pits and microscopic fissures. On space missions, the potential problems multiply because of increased radiation that can cause the fungi to mutate into more dangerous forms. Francis Cucinotta, manager of the radiation health office at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, said he published a scientific paper in 1995 that found that about one-tenth of 1 percent of bacterial spores would mutate after a year of the kind of radiation experienced on a mission to Mars. The problem, he cautioned, was poorly understood, and nobody could say how many of the mutations would pose a threat. But astronauts are also less able to fight off infections, doctors said, especially on long missions. The stresses placed on their bodies, including weightlessness, psychological pressure, and trouble sleeping, can all degrade the immune system. ‘If the microflora is altered into some kind of superbug, and the astronaut’s immune system is weakened, it could cause quite a problem,’ said William Shearer, a professor of pediatrics and immunology at the Baylor College of Medicine, and the team leader in charge of immunology for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute. US astronaut Jerry Linenger said that when he was on Mir in 1997, he found ‘an overgrowth of fungus.’ Linenger, who is a medical doctor and holds a doctorate in epidemiology, used a standard NASA test to determine fungal counts on surfaces. For the shuttle, he explained, the samples would be placed in a medium so their growth could be tracked over several days. But on Mir, he said, he couldn’t do the count because the container was overgrown in half a day. Linenger, author of ‘Off the Planet,’ a book about his experiences on Mir, said that he did not see any evidence that fungi or bacteria on the craft caused health problems. But he added that the station had ‘a strong smell of fungal contamination’ – a smell he called ‘mushroomy’ in his book – and that ‘there were areas you wouldn’t want to stick your hand in.’ According to Novikova, who heads the Microbial Protection Laboratory of the Russian government’s Institute for Biomedical Problems, Mir’s problems first came to light with the finding of fungus on the porthole in 1988, and have been an issue ever since. The fungi that did the damage, Novikova said, included members of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladesporium – all very common on Earth. In July, a Web site called Space described some of Novikova’s findings, but the results did not gain wide attention. NASA officials said that wherever humans go, they bring a certain amount of fungus with them. They said they had not seen evidence of biodegradation on the International Space Station, but they have put into place an ‘aggressive’ prevention program. On a visit to the station this summer, astronauts spent hours lifting out panels to search for evidence that colonies were causing damage. ‘Because of this issue on Mir, it has led us to be more aware of the need to do these inspections more frequently,’ said Kyle Herring, a NASA spokesman. There is no evidence that fungi have ever affected the health of the crew, or threatened the integrity of critical systems, said Jeffrey Manber, president of MirCorp, the Amsterdam-based company that has leased the rights to use Mir. He said that the situation hasn’t threatened MirCorp’s business ventures, which include sending the winner of a sequel to the television show ‘Survivor’ to the station. MirCorp has undertaken a $5 million project to upgrade Mir’s environmental control systems, Manber said. When the space race began with the Russians’ launch of Sputnik in 1957, it was seen as an engineering challenge. But as experience accumulates, scientists say they are coming to appreciate more and more that it is a serious biological challenge as well. NASA’s Cucinotta said that there are a host of ‘basic questions that NASA must answer before it can go to Mars.’ But for Linenger, who was almost killed by a fire during his stay on Mir, the lure of exploration will always outweigh dangers such as microbial infestation. Climbing into a rocket is like ‘climbing onto a pile of explosives,’ he explained. ‘There are just too many other things to worry about.’

#1447C c: “Psy-Trance” Busted Wed, 7 Feb 2001 13:13:22 From: I got this from an Iowa rave promoter. My parents are both from Iowa. This summer I’m goan to Iowa to freak their shit out. Just thought I’d share that, and this, with you… From: Anxiope To: ia-raves at egroups, Ismoked OK, here’s the situation … You’re at a party, it’s 2AM, and you’re getting down to the beat when SUDDENLY… You look around and the event is being flooded with cops … coming through the doors, climbing through the windows, rappeling from the ceiling … Now it could be that that pill you thought was Ecstasy that you got before the party from that guy on the corner in the giant Dr. Seuss hat was actually somthing a bit more powerful or it’s more likely that the party you’re at is getting BUSTED!!! Here’s a few tips and some fun things you can do as a consolation before you just go to the afterparty that the idiot cops don’t realize will inevitably spring up ’cause you CAN’T KEEP RAVERS DOWN!!!! YEAH!!! ) Tips 1) Don’t panic. You’re at a party and there’s no law against that so relax. 2) If you’re drunk(naughty, naughty) pretend you’re sleepy. It usually works. 3) If you have to drive somewhere and you’re drunk, DON’T!!! Stay in the car and tell the nice officer you’re too sleepy to drive. Fun Things to do to Cops That Are Busting a Party 1) Ask her/him if s/he’s ‘rolling’. 2) Tell her/him how sexy s/he is … ESPECIALLY if s/he is the same sex as you are. 3)Ask them where the afterparty’s at. 4)Ask them if they can draw your outline on the sidewalk with that little chalk they have. 5) Ask to see their gun … wink. 6) When the cops come bursting through the doors scream ‘SURPRISE!!!’ and wish them a happy birthday. 7)Ask them to apprehend the green elves with the laser beam eyes. 8) Tell them ‘they’ went that way(point any direction) 9) Ask for directions to the nearest all night donut shop … laugh at them when they tell you and say to your friends “I told you s/he’d know!!!” 10) When they ask you to leave, pretend you don’t see them, look around and ask, “Is that you God?” 11) Give all the money in your wallet to a friend in full view of the cops and then tell them you know where to get some really good PLUR. 12) Repeat everything that the cop says to you. 13) Pretend you’re a cop and tell the other kids to leave. 14) Thank the cops for arriving when they did otherwise you were gonna call fire from heaven and bring these heathen, sinners to judgement yourself! 15) Tell the cops you’re undercover DEA, Division 6. 16) Tell them you’re James Bond. 17) Tell them you’re Marilyn Monroe. 18) Welcome them to the Annual Policeman’s Ball. Ask to take their coat. 19) Ask them if they’ve seen you’re anti-psychotic meds ’cause you’re about to REALLY freak out! 20) Ask them if they’d like to know where the REAL rave is at. 21) Thank them for igoring the real problems in society. 22) Ask them to leave ’cause their really killing ‘the vibe’. 23) Ask them if they’d like to see the tattoo of a cop that you got on your asshole. 24) Ask them when the Village People’s next release is. 25) Smile directly at them … fart. 26) Tell them you’d like to report a crime … Your friend just puked on your new Skechers. 27) Make a complaint about the neighbors. 28) Don’t leave! Make them drag you out. They can’t mace you unless they’re threatened. 29) If they use a bullhorn drop to your knees and scream, “OH GOD, IT’S THE VOICES, NOT AGAIN!!!” 30)Be friendly and cooperative. This really throws ’em. Keep in mind that cops are only assholes because they have to enforce laws that suck! Change the laws, change the cops. VOTE!!! Feel free to add to this list and forward to all your fellow ravers … this is at least ONE rave related phenoma that started in IOWA! Go figure … we must be bored. Demand Peace!

#1452 Wed, 7 Feb 2001 21:55:23 Brain Generated Music – coming soon Content-Disposition: Inline See ya’ll at Opium Den tonight… SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE THROUGH BRAIN GENER ATED MUSIC”There is already one technology that appears to generate at least one aspect of a spiritual experience. This experimental technolo gy is called Brain Generated Music (BGM), pioneered by NeuroSonics, a smal l company in Baltimore, Maryland, of which i am a director. BGM is a br ain-wave biofeedback system capable of evoking an experience called the Re laxation Response, which is associated with deep relaxation. The BGM us er attaches three disposable leads to her head. A personal computer the n monitors the user’s brain waves to determine her unique alpha wavelength . Alpha waves, which are in the range of eight to thirteen cycles per s econd (cps), are associated with a deep meditative state, as compared to b eta waves (in the range of thirteen to twenty-eight cps), which are associ ated with routine conscious thought. Music is then generated by the com puter, according to an algorithm that transforms the user’s own brain-wave signal.”The BGM algorithm is designed to encourage the generation of alpha waves by producing pleasurable harmonic combinations upon detection of alpha waves, and less pleasant sounds and sound combinations when alpha detection is low. In addition, the fact that the sounds are synchroniz ed to the user’s own alpha wavelength to create a resonance with the user’ s own alpha rhythm also encourages alpha production.”Dr. Herbert Bens on, formerly the director of the hypertension section of Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital and now at New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston, and o ther researchers at the Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel, discovered the neurological-physiological mechanism of the Relaxation Response, whic h is described as the opposite of the “fight or flight,” or stress respons e. The Relaxation Response is associated with reduced levels of epineph rine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), blood pressure, bloo d sugar, breathing, and heart rates. Regular elicitation of this respon se is reportedly able to produce permanantly lowered blood-pressure levels (to the extent that hypertension is caused by stress factors) and other h ealth benefits. Benson and his colleagues have catalogued a number of t echniques that can elicit the Relaxation Response, including yoga and a nu mber of forms of meditation.”I have had experience with meditation, an d in my own experience with BGM, and in observing others, BGM does appear to evoke the Relaxation Response. The music itself feels as if it is be ing generated from inside your mind. Interestingly, if you listen to a tape recording of your own brain-generated music when you are not hooked u p to the computer, you do not experience the same sense of transcendence. Although the recorded BGM is based on your personal alpha wavelength, the recorded music was synchronized to the brainwaves that were produced b y your brain when the music was first generated, not to the brainwaves tha t are produced while listening to the recording. You need to listen to “live” BGM to achieve the resonance effect.”Conventional music is gene rally a passive experience. Although a performer may be influenced in s ubtle ways by her audience, the music we listen to generally does not refl ect our response. Brain Generated Music represents a new modality of mu sic that enables the music to evolve continually based on the interaction between it and our own mental responses to it.”Is BGM producing a spir itual experience? It’s hard to say. The feelings produced while list ening to “live” BGM are similar to the deep transcendent feelings i can so metimes achieve with meditation, but they appear to be more reliably produ ced by BGM.”I have to say, the potentiality of this device intrigues m e… especially as the technology becomes less expensive and mass-producti on becomes increasingly possible… is this an example of objective/subjec tive interaction which may actually influence and encourage subjective gro wth? that is, would such a seemingly second-tier (?) meditative impleme nt help “boost” the subject toward second-tier cognition? or at least ” guide” the subject through whatever wave of development he or she is eng aged in, by simply “exposing” him/her to the perennial core by such techno logically assisted introspection?

#1455 brainmachinesDaily News Yesterday Thu, 8 Feb 2001 02:27:51 From: Ecstasy Breeds Violence d gangs muscling in By PATRICE O’SHAUGHNESSY Daily News Staff Writer un-toting narcotics dealers are embracing the love d and its lucrative market. Ecstasy pills Ecstasy, the designer pill favored by trendwise twentysomthings in Manhattan clubs, is fast becoming a staple of d gangs. Long considered a benign, feel-good d limited to campuses and dance clubs, Ecstasy’s popularity has exploded throughout the city in the last three months. “It used to be the Manhattan South club d, and in 1999, we had three or four investigations involving it,” said NYPD narcotics bureau Chief Charles Kammerdener. “Now we have 30 to 40 active investigations.” With an abundant supply and an enormous profit potential, Ecstasy has increasingly been linked to the violence long associated with other illegal ds, authorities say. “Now, with the phenomenon of Ecstasy, people are arming themselves,” said Lt. Wilfredo Garcia of the firearms investigation unit. Recent cases include: A suspected firearms trafficker accused of selling Ecstasy as well as guns. Ecstasy smugglers arrested at area airports with contacts in Washington Heights, where heroin and cocaine distribution networks are entrenched. An undercover sting involving 15,000 Ecstasy tablets that ended in gunfire at a Bronx bodega. The NYPD-d Enforcement Administration task force stands behind a table of ds. “It’s a d. No matter where it’s sold, it will be dangerous,” said Kammerdener. “If it continues to go to the street, you’ll see the same level of violence.” With an upscale reputation burnished in popular culture and on the Internet, Ecstasy is said to give users a mood-mellowing sense of euphoria that lessens inhibitions and increases energy. Now it is widely available in any neighborhood. Pills that once sold for as much as $35 can be bought for less than half that price. “Our investigators are seeing it on the streets,” said special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan. “We’ve made buys in Washington Heights, and we recently raided an apartment in Bushwick where we seized guns, heroin, cocaine and marijuana, and the dealer told us he just ran out of Ecstasy.” The supply is “skyrocketing … unabated,” said John Varrone, assistant commissioner of investigations for the Customs Service. “In 1997, we seized 400,000 pills. We seized 9 million pills in 2000, and in the last four months we have seized 3 million,” he said. “We are on pace to set a record year of 12 million tablets of Ecstasy this year. It’s just coming at us fast and furious.” Customs agents have intercepted shipments from Miami destined for the Bronx and Brooklyn, Varrone said. Recent intelligence shows Colombian dealers have been trading cocaine for Ecstasy, he said. “We’ve seized Ecstasy and heroin, which shows the cartels are trying to deliver Ecstasy in the same traditional heroin routes, with the same consumer in mind,” Varrone said. “We know Washington Heights is coming into play,” said Kammerdener. “People caught at the airports live in the heights, or their destination was the heights.” Brennan predicted: “They’ll have guns there to protect their stash, they’ll resort to violence to settle disputes, the same as other ds.” Her point was illustrated Dec. 27, during a buy-and-bust operation along a gritty strip of E. 198th St. in the Bronx. Police said 15,000 pills were stashed under the counter of the Ocoa grocery, where undercover cops had arranged a purchase. They had bought cocaine and Ecstasy twice in Corona, Queens, from the same gang. When police raided the bodega, one of the dealers reached for a gun in his waistband, and an officer shot and wounded him. In Ridgewood, Queens, in December, undercover detectives met with Richard Rodriguez, a suspected weapons dealer, to buy guns. They said they bought a .25-caliber Saturday night special, as well as 500 Ecstasy tablets, and arrested Rodriguez. “We paid $12 a pill,” said Garcia. His cops have seized more than 2,000 Ecstasy tablets in the last six months while buying illegal guns. “The more that is out there, the cheaper it’s going to get,” said Assistant Bronx District Attorney Nestor Ferreiro. “We have just started to see it in the Bronx in the last two or three months.” The trend has disturbing ramifications, said Brennan. “Ecstasy has been celebrated, it’s been on magazine covers, people have written fond memories of it,” she said. “Everybody wants to taste a piece of paradise. But the concern is that people will want to do a lot of it, and the focus of the debate over addiction has been on privileged people who have a safety net. People in Washington Heights or Brooklyn don’t have that safety net.” Meanwhile, Ecstasy use shows no signs of waning in the clubs. “As of early January, the clubs were still going very strong,” said Lt. Ralph Ortino of Manhattan South narcotics. He said his cops seized 4,100 pills last year, mostly inside clubs. In 1998, they seized 120. And this week comes a sure sign of the d’s rising criminal status: Ecstasy joins heroin, cocaine, crack and marijuana on a Police Department bar graph that tracks arrests and seizures.

#1457Where we’re headed by Candace Pert Thu, 8 Feb 2001 13:58:31 From: Thanks Linda! This is where we are going with the d. At an education conference (October, ’00) I was in awe to meet Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion, title of her earlier book). I was trying to find a shortcut corridor to beat the crowds on the break, having just listened to her. There she was, resting in the middle of her talk, sitting with her glass of water. “Can I just sit with you a minute?” She was very friendly, perhaps an aging hippie in her long skirt. This is the woman who pioneered the work with opiate receptors in the 70’s. It was great to hear this reductionist-enough scientist speak on just how amazing and variable we can be…. Among other things she said: – *all* the ds folks love are just mimicking internal human substances such as the endorphins (in other words, it’s all “in there”) – cells can “of course” repair damage due to ds/other, “the body has an infinite capacity to repair itself” – the receptor sites, sometimes thousands of them in one location are “vibrating” – learning seems to be completely connected with the opiate receptor system, we are wired to our constant search for pleasure (hence the implications for education) – we used to think the important stuff was happening at the synapses, now we know the action of the hormones and other substances is occurring in many locations far from the synapses, synapse action is less than 10 or even 5 percent of the total picture; the brain is a “bag of hormones” This last (also the vibration) reminds me of my astronomy prof, twenty-five years ago, telling us about how atoms seem to be variable size. One might just as likely be vibrating “the size of this room” as be the microscopic item we’ve grown to picture. Pert believes understanding the receptor system is the “key to linking the old and new paradigms” the system, the sites, the whole thing “really is vibrating”. It has the properties of a network shared common components to send info, receive info, no hierarchy, no center, no exclusions, with the purpose to process and integrate information. She showed us slides of scans showing three interacting systems creating immunity neurons/brain, lymph system and the bones (surprised me, source of some of the ‘juice’ required, I forget this part). This created a beautiful image of our vibrating being, making choices which have emotional and physical outcomes, which lead to…. [Please combine all previous and subsequent remarks with your own vision of the Alex Gray swirling interior lay lines….] She continued: – the Anglo-Saxon root of the word “mind” means “to pay attention to”; we seldom choose consciously what to pay attention to – our epidemic of depression is really a psychospiritual deficiency rather than a deficiency of serotonin – there is btw *no* biological evidence for ADD (which she also called the “Ritalin Deficiency Syndrome”; some districts in the U.S. have 40% of kids taking Ritalin) – “emotion has both a physical realm the molecules and a spiritual realm; this latter is not understood but it is related to communication between human beings and has to do with some kind of vibration or energy”; she believes science can get at this [A friend said, “… maybe…it’s all about being in a group.” You know that folks with high blood pressure show drops based on the presence of a friend, or petting an animal?] Pert: “The magic combination seems to be attention plus *intention*.” and… “The spiritual world is real. Just because we hated Catholic school and gave it up, that doesn’t matter, it’s still part of physics.” * * * So….. Awhile back I was glad to pass along an article entitled, “The Intelligent Heart”, which described the discovery of “way more neurons” than previously thought, linking the heart with the brain. I joked with Chuck at the time, “sure, in twenty years they’ll be saying, ‘wow, we just found *way more neurons* than we thought linking the genitals [pancreas, intestine, ?] with the brain’…. Boy, was I wrong. Here’s this snip from somthing similar, right now (thanks Belle!): Scientists discover ‘second brain’ in the stomach Scientists are claiming to have discovered a second brain – in the human stomach. The breakthrough, involving experts in the US and Germany, is believed to play a major part in the way people behave. This ‘second brain’ is made up of a knot of brain nerves in the digestive tract. It is thought to involve around 100 billion nerve cells – more than held in the spinal cord. Researchers believe this belly brain may save information on physical reactions to mental processes and give out signals to influence later decisions. It may also be responsible in the creation of reactions such as joy or sadness. The research is outlined in the latest issue of German science magazine, Geo…. Well, this all makes me picture and feel myself to be vibrating and oozing into my constantly new (however familiar) reality (“reality”). Alex Grayly my interior spaces all have the visible color glinty edges, which, ecstatic, I fondly recognized the moment I read that DNA gives off photons (Jeremy Narby, The Cosmic Serpent). our choices make our lives, love your life, live your love, Linda

#1462 brainmachinesMonday – Genpme Project Release Sun, 11 Feb 2001 22:25:39 From: (these findings tie Terence McKenna novelty theory, MAO chemistry, and our own raison d’etre) By Rick Weiss Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, February 11, 2001; Page 1 All the instructions for making a human being are packed within a surprisingly small number of genes only about twice the number needed to grow a worm or a fly according to the first detailed analysis of the entire human genetic code. Moreover, hundreds of those genes, including one that’s been implicated in depression, are actually genes from bacteria that infected human predecessors millions of years ago and left their microbial DNA behind. But perhaps most remarkable, scientists said, is how little of the human genome the 23 pairs of chromosomes that contain the blueprint for human life is directly devoted to making human beings, and how much other biological activity is going on throughout the rest of the genome. The genetic instructions for making a person take up less than one inch of the six-foot-long strand of DNA that’s stuffed inside virtually every cell in the body, according to the new findings. Most of the rest of the human genome is filled with weird life-like entities that have settled in the genome like squatters. Among them are microscopic bits of foreign DNA that live like parasites on human DNA and even smaller bits that sponge off those parasites. Although scientists have known that such critters existed in the human genome, only now have they been able to see how many there really are, how they are distributed among people’s genes, and how these complex communities evolved inside the cells of human ancestors over millions of years. Taken together, the new findings show the human genome to be far more than a mere sequence of biological code written on a twisted strand of DNA. It is a dynamic and vibrant ecosystem of its own, reminiscent of the thriving world of tiny Whos that Dr. Seuss’s elephant, Horton, discovered on a speck of dust. Scientists are scheduled to describe their results Monday at a Washington news conference to be Webcast live around the world. But details were released last night after a British newspaper ran a story about the findings in its Sunday edition. Additional news conferences are to be held in London, Paris, Berlin and Tokyo, and details of the work are being published this week as a thick collection of more than a dozen landmark articles in the journals Science and Nature. The new work shows that some parts of the genome are rich in human genes, like biodiverse tropical rain forests, where genes crucial for human life and some that cause disease perform their jobs in the body. Scientists sifting through the newly unveiled genome with computerized search engines have discovered more than 40 previously unknown disease genes, including some for forms of epilepsy, deafness, color blindness and muscular dystrophy. Hundreds of others are expected to turn up in the next few years, speeding the development of new ds and diagnostic tests. Other regions of the genome are essentially genetic “deserts,” where there is nary a human gene for as far as the eye can see but where life, of a sort, perseveres nonetheless. Like genes, the entities living in these vast stretches of the human genome are made of DNA, the doubly coiled molecule of heredity. But they don’t contain coded messages to make anything useful for the human body. Most are able to persist and replicate within the human genome but are so dependent on the genome that they can never leave it. Others are mere remnants of genes that were left behind by prehistoric viruses eons ago and have been passed down in increasingly degenerate condition from human generation to generation. Now, like paleontologists studying a newly uncovered fossil trove, geneticists are dating and analyzing these genetic remnants, some of which have been in the human and pre-human genetic line for more than 500 million years. Through these studies, they are learning how genetic innovations during the course of evolution led to the handful of breakthroughs that allowed early backboned creatures to evolve into humans. “We’ve called the human genome the book of life, but it’s really three books,” said Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda and a chief of the international human genome project. “It’s a history book. It’s a shop manual and parts list. And it’s a textbook of medicine more profoundly detailed than ever.” The new findings come from the first comprehensive analyses of the human genetic code by the publicly funded human genome project involving thousands of researchers around the globe and led in this country by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy and by Celera Genomics of Rockville, a private company. At a gala White House event in June, leaders of the competing public and private teams announced they each had determined the order of almost all the 3 billion “letters” of biochemical code in the human genome. Strung together along strands of DNA inside cells, those letters spell out the directions for making and maintaining human life. The work answers some long-standing questions, such as why the human sense of smell is so crude compared with that of many other mammals: In the past 10 million years, it turns out, pre-humans have lost more than half of the 1,000 olfactory genes their ancestors once had, apparently choosing to concentrate on vision and other senses instead. It also raises new and difficult questions, such as how human beings with all their passions and fears, their capacity for art, music, culture and war can be all that they are with just 30,000 or so genes, only five times as many as in baker’s yeast. One surprise is that the genome is populated with duplicate copies of many disease-causing genes shadowy genetic “twins” that scientists had never seen before but that in many cases also cause diseases. Another is that sperm carry twice as many mutations as eggs, suggesting that men are the major source of genetic errors in offspring but also the major source of evolutionary innovation. And in one of the bigger surprises to come out of the new analysis, some of the “junk” DNA scattered throughout the genome that scientists had written off as genetic detritus apparently plays an important role after all, perhaps by helping humans respond to stress. In short, said Celera president and chief executive J. Craig Venter, the human genome “is a lot more complicated than we thought.” Although it sounds paradoxical, Venter said, that complexity is due in part to humans having so few genes. The 30,000 estimate of both teams is a gross approximation; genes are not easy to identify in the genome, and the number may increase by a few thousand as the search continues. But the final count will clearly be far below previous estimates, which only a year ago had centered around 80,000 and had stretched as high as 120,000. That raises the question of how just 30,000 “sentences” of coded instructions can direct the production of the hundreds of thousands of ingredients that together make up a human body. The main answer, scientists said, is that the approximately 30,000 products (mostly proteins) made by those 30,000 human genes get cut into pieces after they’re made, and those pieces are then shuffled around and pasted together in novel arrangements. Just as lots of different sentences can be composed with a limited number of words, this system enables the instructions, or genetic “words,” in a single gene to produce 10 or more different proteins, depending on what the body needs. By contrast, individual genes in simpler organisms such as flies and worms can generally make just one or two proteins each. “We have the Cuisinart that can slice and dice and do lots of things, while worms and flies have paring knives,” Collins said. In addition, humans have a huge repertoire of regulatory mechanisms that simpler organisms lack, with which they can fine-tune their genes’ activities from moment to moment. Studies indicate that a wide range of environmental influences are involved in these regulatory decisions a that biology and behavior are not genetically determined but are influenced by countless non-genetic variables. By comparing the human genome to the genomes of simpler organisms such as the fly and the worm, scientists are also seeing with unprecedented detail how just a few genetic innovations helped launch early vertebrates ahead of the biological pack hundreds of millions of years ago. In one case, a few genes that probably helped flies and worms fight off invading microbes apparently copied and recopied and rearranged themselves inside newly evolving backboned creatures to create what is today the army of genes that together encode the human immune system, with its remarkable ability to recognize and attack a huge variety of invaders. Similar duplications of genes led to the development of the blood clotting system, a complicated but crucial breakthrough for vertebrates. A third series of duplications gave rise to the spectrum of hormones and other molecules that today allow human cells to communicate with one another and coordinate their activities with exquisite precision. And yet another set of duplicated genes gave rise to the vertebrate nervous system and brain, the capstone of mammalian complexity. Some human genes seem to have been ripped off wholesale from simpler organisms. By scanning the human genome for DNA sequences nearly identical to those in microbes, scientists found more than 200 genes whose origins can be traced to ancient infecting bacteria. Apparently those genes’ metabolic specialties were useful enough for them to be “hired” full time by the human genome. One, for example, controls production of a chemical called monoamine oxidase, which the body today uses to regulate brain chemicals affecting mood and is the target of a class of antidepressants called MAO inhibitors. For all the evolutionary creativity that led to the human race, however, there is shockingly little variation from person to person, genome scientists said. Individuals around the world all are about 99.9 percent genetically identical, an indication of how recently the human species arose and how little time it has had to diversify. Celera’s analysis, which included genes from five people who identified themselves as Caucasian, Hispanic Mexican, Asian Chinese or African American, indicates that the number of harmless variations nestled in the human genome varies by race. On average, African Americans carry more variations than Caucasians evidence that they have been around longer and Caucasians have more than Asians. That’s consistent with the prevailing theory that the human race got its start in Africa and radiated from there. But Venter’s data also strengthens the notion that race itself has no genetic basis. No genes, either by themselves or in concert with others, were able to predict which race each person had claimed to be. Those genome findings could help temper cultural biases about the genetics of race, but other new results are likely to fan the flames of the gender wars: the finding that sperm cells are the main source of human genetic mutations. Scientists said they are not certain why sperm are so loaded with genetic errors. One theory blames the fact that so many cell divisions occur in the making of sperm while eggs are the result of a single cell division. Each cell division offers chromosomes a new opportunity to break or mutate. Whether men should be blamed or praised for their mutated sperm is an open question, scientists said. Mutations are usually harmful or neutral at best, suggesting that males are causing significant molecular mayhem. On the other hand, species count on occasional mutations to invent new things, so males may also be the species’ prime innovators. In any case, daughters and sons equally inherit their dads’ warped genes. So with the exception of their sperm, men are no more mutated than women. But enough about you, the genome might say. What about me? Indeed, the human genome is about much more than just humans. In the vast spaces between those scattered 30,000 genes, taking up the other 99 percent or so of the genome, is a molecular menagerie of genes and gene pieces. Some of them arose internally like warts on the genome while others hacked their way into human cells during the past several hundred million years and decided to stay. Hundreds of thousands of these genes and gene fragments reside in the human genome in relative leisure while human genes toil away nearby, making new generations of people for all to live in. Most of them are just “freeloaders,” said Eric Lander, director of the Whitehead Center for Genome Research in Cambridge, Mass. Having integrated themselves into the very fiber of the human genome, these interlopers can rest assured that every time a human cell divides and passes copies of its DNA to a daughter cell, they also will be replicated, thus keeping “alive” what to them are their family lines. All told, the new analysis shows, at least 45 percent of the human genome consists of selfish genetic elements mooching off their human hosts. Scientists have grouped them into families, traced their lineages and are now tracking the migrations they’ve made over millions of years as they wandered from chromosome to chromosome through the wilderness of the genome. In some cases, pieces of chromosomes have broken off, drifted away and attached themselves to other chromosomes, carrying their parasitic sequences along like penguins on ice floes. By tracing the routes these passengers have taken, scientists are identifying some of the large-scale genetic changes that correlate with key advances in human evolution. “Humanity has a certain number of great classics of literature that are amazing historical stories and sources of insight and inspiration,” Lander said. “Now for the first time we have an historical anthology of ourselves, some of it passed down for a billion years. We’re just learning how to read the story, and it’s sure to enthrall us for decades to come.” One story with an especially surprising ending has to do with ALU sequences, DNA fragments scattered about the human genome that don’t make anything except more of themselves. The human genome is home to about a half a million of these entities, which take up fully 14 percent of the human genome. Scientists had long written off ALUs as genetic “junk.” But ALUs living near genes are preferentially retained, according to the new genome analysis, while ALUs that live in other areas of the genome are gradually weeded out. Recent but controversial experiments had suggested that ALUs might help their human hosts, perhaps by turning on protective genes in stressful situations. The new finding that ALUs are especially welcomed around genes is strong evidence that they are indeed helpful neighbors. Many mysteries remain to be solved. Inexplicably, for example, few new families of genetic interlopers seem to have taken root in the human lineage in the past 50 million years. Also unexplained, some types of genetic parasites are becoming gradually extinct within the genome while others are apparently thriving. Entire civilizations, it seems, have risen and fallen within the human genome and are continuing to do so. It’s a humbling perspective, said Robert Waterston, director of Washington University’s genome center in St. Louis. A person who gazes upon the human genome is likely to walk away feeling a little bit less the center of attention, he said less certain about being the sole purpose of it all. “You can’t study the genome for very long before you start feeling that you’re just a transient vehicle for making more DNA,” Waterston said. But not just any vehicle. One with the curiosity, ingenuity and wherewithal to explore and decipher its own genetic code.

#1464s’I can see sounds’ Mon, 12 Feb 2001 02:55:07 From: “I’ve had a very white colour picking up a hot cup” Friday, 9 February, 2001, 09:45 For Jane Mackay, sneezes are turquoise and Friday is chequered. She has synaesthesia, a neurological condition which mixes up her senses. Here, the former GP-turned-artist, of south London, explains her colourful world. “Sounds, words and numbers just throw images into my head. ‘Jane’, for instance, is quite orangey-red with a yellowish tinge on the ‘e’ at the end. Synaesthetes Affects up to one in 2,000 people Runs in families, particularly women Some see sound, feel tastes, or hear movement Painters David Hockney and Wassily Kandinsky had synaesthesia As did author Vladimir Nabokov “Asking when did I realise that I’m synaesthetic is like saying, ‘When did you realise that you weren’t colour-blind?’ “It takes a very long time to realise that others may not experience it like you do. Some people think I’m making it up. “One of my earliest memories is that I could tell the difference between Canadian and American accents because the Canadian accent is more yellow. “And my sister and I used to argue about our colours for the days of the week – my Wednesday is a lemony-yellow with angles in the middle of it, hers is green. “It’s really hard to explain where I see the colours. It’s almost like I see what’s in front of me with a colour filter in front of it – but what I’m looking at in the physical world doesn’t change colour. Brian Perkins: Colours of his name and voice clash “I can find it very hard to remember names if the colour is at odds with some defining characteristic of the person. “Brian Perkins, the BBC Radio Four newsreader, has an amazingly rich, chocolatey-brown voice. “Yet ‘Perkins’ is a rather wishy-washy yellow-green, so I always forget his surname.” Art for art’s sake “I’ve always loved painting, and have done it all my life. But I also love the sciences, so I was a GP for 20 years. It took five years to decide to give up medicine. “On New Year’s Day last year, I threw my stethoscope in the Thames to mark the beginning of my career as a full-time artist. Postcards of artworks inspired by synaesthetic principles “I paint largely, but not exclusively, orchestral music – sometimes I transfer my synaesthetic images completely to the paper, sometimes I use them as a starting point.” “But what really sparks me off is change and contrast. “My printer, for instance, started jamming recently and the sound turned pink, quite an opaque pastel pink. I hadn’t been aware of any particular colour for the printer because the sound is so routine, but the change got to me. “It’s the same with music. Modern music; music I haven’t heard before; someone hitting a wrong note; noises-off – I get tremendously strong synaesthetic experiences from all of those. “I had a wonderful sneeze once, from someone sitting behind me in a concert. It was a really lovely turquoise that came across my shoulder in a triangular sheet.” See the music “This academic year, I’m the artist-in-residence for the Cambridge University Musical Society. Sketches of the first, top, and second rehearsals of a piece by Woolfenden “I sit in on all their rehearsals, trying to capture the synaesthetic images I get from the music in a very sketchy, annotated form. “I tape the rehearsals, so I can go back over the images. From these sketches and tapes, I work up paintings in my studio. “People often ask me if I get the same images each time I hear somthing, and the answer is yes. “But you can hear music live, or on CD, or in a sectional rehearsal, and that can change the colour and shape of it all together. “I think most people must be at least a little bit synaesthetic. “After all, our whole language is littered with synaesthetic images – we’re always talking about warm sounds, sharp colours.” BBC News Online Cambridge University Musical Society International Synaesthesia Association The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top UK stories now: Genome teams in access dispute Legal action over ‘acoustic shock’

Quetzalcoatl Mayan and Aztec feathered serpent god, messiah to the natives of central America against the invading Spanish. Most precious Twin; Feathered serpent. Plumed serpeMorning Star. Great Priest; master of Life; god of the wind, sea breeze, and life breath. Creator god, identified with the planet Venus. He was considered a good god as he required only one human sacrifice a year. Civilization, the arts, metallurgy, fate. Priests would consume teonanacatl and urinate into urns, from which the peasants would drink to achieve enlightenment. AN ANCIENT FORM OF COMMUNION The discovery of the shamanic use of teonanacatl amongst contemporary Mexican Indians was indicative of a sacred tradition that, although almost buried, had its roots firmly set in the glories of past civilisations. In particular, the great Aztec empire had been familiar with the mushroom and the various documents written by Spanish Conquistadors almost 500 years ago which mention mushroom use by the Aztecs, can be re-analysed according to what we now know of the actual entheogenic experience. Teonanacatl emerges as no mere incidental feature of the natural world restricted to secretive and isolated use, rather its ritual role as a potent sacrament was overtly established within the very fabric of ancient Mesoamerican society. Until, that is, it came under the merciless gaze of the Catholic Spanish conquistadors. The Aztecs were an immensely powerful civilisation whose cultural achievements are ranked by some in the same league as those of ancient Egypt and Babylonia. Religious ideology permeated all aspects of Aztec society, driving them to conquest and expansion and giving rise to their infamous bloody human sacrifices on a scale that cannot fail to shock. Located in the Central Valley of Mexico, the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (now Mexico city) reached its peak of power and magnificence immediately prior to the arrival of Hernon Cortes and his gold rushing Spanish army in 1519. With the advent of the Spanish conquest, all aspects of Aztec religion including the use of the teonanacatl mushroom were systematically wiped out, being condemned as devilish heresy. To the invading Spanish clergy, the Aztec’s claim that certain teonanacatl (some two dozen teonanacatl-containing species are indigenous to Mexico) were teonanacatl, or ‘God’s flesh’, was to admit to some blasphemous unholy communion. In the Roman Catholicism touted by the marauding conquistadors, communion with the divine was not based upon personally revealed knowledge or gnosis. Absolutely not. Rather it was the case that ‘inside’ information concerning the divine was considered acceptable only if one was connected to a formally established religious hierarchy within which accepted, without question, its most cherished doctrines. In other words, the organised drive of Catholicism which descended upon the Aztec nation derived its power structure through force- feeding religious dogma to its adherents. To openly question such dogma, or to criticise it, could and did mean death 500 years ago. One is therefore hard pushed to conceive of a more heretical act than that of the Aztecs consumption of supposedly divine fungi. The Catholic Spanish clergy, eager to spread their faith, would have been utterly appalled at the concept of eating some foul and unsightly fungus in order to commune with the Gods. this negative reaction was clearly reflected in the lively written Spanish accounts of Aztec customs. The Aztec’s use of teonanacatl is clearly revealed in many of the records made by Spanish chroniclers at the time of the conquest who diligently recorded their observations and began translating Aztec historical documents. during the coronation of Montezuma the second in 1502, we learn that teonanacatl was consumed during the celebrations. Many war captives were slaughtered to honour the new king, their hearts torn out and offered to the gods. After the grisly sacrifices, the celebrants were bathed in blood and then given raw teonanacatl to eat. Perhaps it was this kind of terrible juxtaposition that helped the finger of heresy point toward the mushroom. After all, a mass bloody sacrifice followed by some strange ritual fungal inebriation is a hellish concept to the West, yet it was bound up to the Aztec’s desire to supplant their pantheon of gods. Blood spilled in the name of religion whether through war or sacrifice is, unfortunately, a kind of pious tradition that highlights the immense power of the religious impulse over the minds and souls of men. The gods of the Aztecs were deemed real, they had to be worshipped and placated. At any rate, the Aztecs utilised teonanacatl in their religious rituals as well as engaging in various other rites that would have appeared horrendously alien to the invading Spanish who were unlikely to react in the manner of refined social anthropologists. The excessive sacrifices together with the deliberate intoxication with teonanacatl must have sorely confused the Spanish invaders. For whilst they were at once amazed at the glorious wealth and regality of the Aztec cities that they encountered, they were less enthusiastic about the underlying psychological forces which had lead to the physical magnificence set in stone. “And all the lords and grandees of the provinces rose, and to solemnise further the festivities, they all ate of some woodland teonanacatl, which they say make you lose your senses, and thus they sallied forth all primed for the dance.” “At the very first, teonanacatl had been served. They ate them at a time when, they said, the shell trumpets were blown. They ate no more food; they only drank chocolate during the night. And they ate the teonanacatl with honey. When the teonanacatl took effect on them, then they danced, then they wept. But some while still in command of their senses entered and sat there by the house on their seats; they danced no more, but only sat there nodding.” Such scare stories are parodied by the rumours that surrounded l use in the sixties. People were supposedly hurling themselves from high-rise apartments and foolishly attempting to stop motorway traffic by the power of thought alone. In actuality, of all the millions of doses of l taken in the 1960’s there were only a handful of deaths through misadventure resulting from l’s effects. It appears that any psychedelic substance with a powerful mystique seems to instil fear in those who are unfamiliar with its effects and who are easily threatened by the unknown. Moreover, such fear often precedes persecution and the spreading of inaccurate information, which is why it is so important to have an unconditional flow of informed, hysteria-free knowledge regarding the psychological action of visionary plants and fungi. One hopes then, that we live in more enlightened times. The fact remains however, that the Aztec’s use of psychoactive agents, which included the use of other entheogenic agents like the morning glory plant (whose seeds contain l-related compounds), proved to be so abhorrent to the Spanish that they sought to drive the all such practices to extinction. The intense disgust generated within the orthodox religious minds of the Spanish priests echoes the hatred meted out to the women accused of being satanic witches in medieval Europe as they too were found guilty of possessing heretical botanical knowledge. Whereas the Aztecs employed teonanacatl in order to induce numinous states of awareness, the witches of the Middle Ages achieved similar states using plants like henbane and belladonna. Historically it would seem that all such occult practices with plants and fungi unfortunately generate the same type of response in the male psyche of the dominator culture eager to perpetuate its own ideology, namely, unremitting persecution. The Aztec religion succumbed to just such a fate. It appears then, that the Spanish clergy were ultimately unsuccessful in silencing the claims made by their subdued and conquered subjects; messages in stone speak louder than words and provide rock-hard testimony to the Aztec’s sacred links to the natural environment, with its varied potent botanical offspring. What exactly the Aztecs experienced through teonanacatl remains debatable, although we can be sure that their psychedelic visions were vivid and convincing enough for them to regard the mushroom as being a link to the divine realm, no less than the appearance of God’s flesh upon the Earth. PSYCHEDELIC TEMPLES Prior to the Aztec’s rise to dominance and before the time of the Toltecs reign previous to them, the premier ritual centre of pre- Columbian Mesoamerica was the mighty city of Teotihuacan located in the north-eastern Valley of Mexico, near Mexico city. Dating from 150 BC. to A.D.750, little is known about the Teotihuacans although Aztec legends equate this city with the birthplace of their deities. Its very name was given by the Aztecs who had discovered it 600 years after its mysterious collapse and means ‘Place of the Gods’ in Nahuatl. Due to the immense scale of Teotihuacan’s religious architecture which includes the spectacular Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and highly sophisticated wall paintings rife with ornate serpent motifs, it can be reasonably assumed that it was the centre of an important religious cult. The overt presence of serpent motifs upon the architecture is a strong indication of religious worship since the pantheon of almost all Mesoamerican cultures include mythical serpentine entities, such as the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl. Elaborately stylised serpents were used both to represent gods and to symbolise divine power penetrating the mundane world. Their fearsome presence on and around temples signified that the temple was a sacred place to be guarded from profane intrusion. Of most concern here are the style and content of the numerous mural paintings which adorn most of Teotihuacan’s temples and shrines. In these murals we once more find depictions of various flowers, one of which is the morning glory (either Turbina corymbosa or Ipomoea violacea). As stated, the seeds of this plant species contain l- related compounds known to have been used by the Aztecs for religious communion. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the temple-goers at Teotihuacan knew of, and thus utilised, the psychedelic effect of the morning glory. SECRET PSYCHEDELIC LEGACIES Such an historical concept in which indigenous visionary agents are consumed ritually in order to induce theophany and religious solidarity should come as no surprise. In ancient Greece the classic Eleusinian Mystery cult echoes the inferred scenario occurring at Teotihuacan. The mystery rites which took place each year at Eleusis near Athens, centred around the drinking of some secret potion that granted a numinous vision to initiates, the entire sacred ceremony taking place within the guarded confines of a hallowed temple. Recent theories have proposed that this Eleusinian drink was made from ergotised barley which would mean that it contained entheogenic substances since ergot, a tiny plant fungus which grows on wheat and barley, contains a number of l-related compounds. Though this psychedelic scenario has not been confirmed and remains merely an engaging hypothesis (ergot is also potentially toxic), the point is that the potion was almost certain to have contained some form of entheogenic alkaloid with the capacity to engender the type of mystical experience attested to in Greek historical literature. Wasson thus assumed that Teotihuacan was a Mesoamerican equivalent to Eleusis, that is, that both were sacred places where visionary agents were administered in a ritual context. Clearly the morning glory plant was utilised for its psychoactive effect by the Teotihuacans (assuming of course that they did not just like the look of it) as the various murals testify, and it would follow that teonanacatl would also have been ingested had their properties been known at the time. THE BIRTH OF THE RELIGIOUS IMPULSE Claims which infer that psychoactive plants and fungi played a major role in ancient religion might be considered to belittle religion in some way, as though one were reducing everything to ‘damnable ds’. Nothing is further from the truth. Far from reducing the religion, the religion becomes firmly entwined with the unequivocal numinous effects of vision-inducing fungi and plant species. That is the strength and force of such species. They cannot fail but have a dramatic impact. Anyone who has made the sacred connection within their psyche through the action of natural psychedelics knows of their profoundly religious/spiritual impact. Ultimately one comes to suspect that the very historical source of Homo sapiens’ religious impulse lies in our ancestor’s primeval encounters with raw entheogenic species like the teonanacatl mushroom which are effective without the need for elaborate preparation. This scenario does not lessen religion, it empowers it, giving it an unstoppable impetus created through the effect of visionary alkaloids in opening up the boundless capacities of the human mind. God becomes connected to a level or state of consciousness, an inwardly felt presence mysteriously welling up from the depths of the psyche and not from some abstract religious dogma. However, religious dogma might well allude to the experience, and indeed testify to the reality of entheogen-induced theophany. Yet, once a detailed knowledge of the plant or fungus in question is lost in the hazy mists of time, then any lingering memory of it’s original entheogenic power will be no more than words, an echo of a once living mystery. The greatest reason to embrace an entheogenic fungus or plant- orientated explanation for the rise of the religious impulse however is that it is couched in wholly naturalistic terms, therefore lending itself to scientific study. If a man claims to have had a life- changing theophany then that is one thing. But if he bears in his hand the very mthod whereby he attained such an experience then you are obliged, if you wish to determine the man’s claims, to explore and verify the means. In more ways than one, psychedelic plants and fungi must be taken seriously in their role in the development of religious ideology. As stated, their historical influence can never be overestimated. Some of the stone teonanacatl are carved emerging from human figures with trance-like facial expressions. Others are linked to kneeling female figures at a metate, a kind of work surface upon which plant items are crushed. Metates were still sometimes used in order to grind teonanacatl so that an entheogenic infusion could be made. Still other of the mushroom stones carry ‘toad’ effigies at their base, and this creature has always been mysteriously linked with psychoactive fungi the world over, perhaps because of knowledge that certain toads exude hallucinogenic alkaloids from their skin glands (incidentally, this odd ‘toady’ fact might also account for the fairy story The Frog Prince since magical events happen after a frog has been ‘kissed’). Is there any other evidence that the Maya employed teonanacatl in their religion? A look at Mayan codices might help on this matter, yet our not-so-delightful conquering Spanish priests have hindered such study due to their blundering haste in burning everything that stood in their theological way, including virtually all Mayan scriptures. As an example, consider the fact that in 1562, one Diego de Landa, a hardened Spanish priest of some frightening zeal, seized thousands of Mayan ‘idols’ and books, burning all and sundry as though it were worthless. Among the treasures destroyed were 27 roles and signs of hieroglyphics, invaluable sources of knowledge about the Mayan civilisation. Landa commented: ” We found among them a number of books written in these characters and as they contained nothing in which there were not to be found superstitions and devilish lies, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree and caused them great affliction.” Such a foolish and insensitive act has left the world with only a handful of Mayan codices on which to assess Mayan customs and beliefs. Within two of these remaining works, the Popul Vuh and the Annals of Cakchiquels, are references to psychoactive fungi, but there is no indication as to the extent of their role within Mayan belief systems. In the Books of Chilam Balam there is mention of trance-like states, though no mention of hallucinogenic plants. Again, in many Mayan relief carvings, which seem to possess a psychedelic air about them, are found scenes depicting visionary ecstasy though plants are not explicitly shown. Some scholars have therefore rejected the notion that the Maya employed natural entheogenic agents in their religious rituals (despite the existence of the many mushroom stones) and have opted instead for the alternative view that the Maya, unlike the martial teonanacatl-using Aztecs who were to follow, were of a radically different nature and temperament. However, recently discovered Mayan mural paintings have depicted fearsome looking battle scenes so that it is not absolutely certain that these two cultures were so different. It is worth looking more closely at the actual similarity in religious belief between the Maya and Aztecs, as it demonstrates a common historical thread connecting the two cultures. Both peoples divided the cosmos into upper worlds and lower worlds with their respective gods. Both believed in the cyclical destruction and regeneration of the Earth, and both followed a ritual 260 day calendar. Bearing in mind these cultural similarities, it has been reasonably suggested that the Maya also utilised the mushroom as well as other psychedelic agents and that this practice influenced the nature of ancient Mesoamerican cosmology. It has also recently come to light, as many Mayan vases and pieces of pottery attest, that the classical Mayan elite used enemas. The objects which depict scenes of enema use date from the first millennium AD.. The daunting practice of administering enemas has been well documented in South American native peoples. In particular, it has been established that the Incas introduced hallucinogenic infusions into the body via enema, using bulbed syringes made from local rubber sap. Apparently, the use of an enema to introduce psychoactive compounds into the body is almost as effective with regard to speed of action as is the mthod of intravenous injection. It’s effectiveness with hallucinogens occurs because the colon is the receptive site of the enema and this is where absorption by the bloodstream occurs. A number of scholars have therefore claimed that hallucinogenic brews were involved in these Mayan enema rites and thus teonanacatl might well have been employed in this manner. We should also be aware that much Mayan artwork is given over to portrayals of ‘vision serpents’ manifesting themselves before entranced members of the Mayan nobility. To the Mayan mind serpents represented the entry of divine forces into normal reality, and to depict fantastically decorated serpents hovering above an enraptured individual signified a communion with the gods. Such individuals are often shown holding a special receptacle. This object is believed to either hold blood from a bloodletting rite or an hallucinogenic brew, both alternatives offering an effective avenue for attaining a desired visionary state of consciousness.

#1490 Silent strokes – another reason to look into nootropics Fri, 16 Feb 2001 17:48:26 From: My grandmother Alice died of a stroke and I can’t stop tinking how it might have been prevented. Besides, not smoking and a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a healthy diet. Following is an article about “silent strokes” that I think you shoulod read. My suggestion is, this is an appropriate reason to look into cerebral oxygenation. Nootropics AKA “smart ds” are chemicals that enhance the oygenation of the brain, ward off and heal Alzheimer’s patients, and can be effective in keeping the brain alive in a low to no oxygen environment, from strokes to falling in an icy lake. Some are more potent than others, most have been exensively tested in the US and Europe. I recently went back on a nootropic program with oxygen, piracetam,and sometime pramiracetam and have experienced excellent results. I’ll do it for 3 or 4 weeks before returning to baseline. I’m not trying to sell you anything, or convince anybody. Just passing along what I consider valuable information about safeguarding your future. Strokes are the enemy, the reality destroyers at perhaps of the most fundamental levels. In a sense, our memories are all we have… and I know, IQ is very different from wisdom or judgement! Study: Millions Suffer Silent Strokes By DANIEL Q. HANEY .c The Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Feb. 16) – A surprising 11 million Americans each year have strokes that are never detected because they cause no obvious symptoms, although over time they may lead to memory loss and other ills, a study concludes. Doctors have long known that people can have insidious ‘silent strokes’ – tiny spots of dead cells inside the brain that do not cause classic stroke symptoms. But the new study suggests they are extremely common, occurring in about 4 percent of the U.S. population each year. Besides the 11 million Americans who have silent strokes annually, about 750,000 more have ones that cause classic stroke symptoms, such as slurred speech, dizziness and numbness on one side. ‘Silent strokes are epidemic in this country,’ said Dr. Megan C. Leary. While they occur in parts of the brain where they don’t cause symptoms right away, ‘the word ‘silent’ should be put in quotes, because their effects accumulate over the years.’ While a single silent stroke may have no impact, repeated ones lead to memory lapses, mood problems and difficulty walking. They are also a sign that people are especially prone to full-blown strokes. Leary and colleagues from UCLA Medical Center released the results Friday at a meeting of the American Stroke Association in Fort Lauderdale. ‘It’s an alarming estimate,’ said Dr. Robert J. Adams of the Medical College of Georgia. ‘It’s surprisingly high but very possibly accurate.’ The researchers say silent strokes are rare before age 30. But after that, their prevalence doubles every 10 years. By the time people reach their 70s, one in three has a silent stroke every year. The researchers also found that some people have more than one silent stroke in a year. When these repeat ones are added together, Americans have almost 22 million silent strokes annually. This means that only 3 percent of the total number of strokes in 1998, when the data were compiled, were actually diagnosed. Leary based her estimate on two surveys involving brain scans on about 5,500 Americans. ‘What’s sad is that silent strokes and symptomatic strokes are among the most preventable diseases in this country,’ Leary said. Doctors can see the scars left by silent strokes when they perform routine brain scans. But ordinarily they do not search for them. However, the new data raise the possibility that perhaps they should, since people who have one silent stroke are likely to have many more. Strokes can be prevented by keeping blood pressure under control, lowering cholesterol, treating diabetes and stopping smoking. Leary said if people actually know they have had a silent stroke, they might be more willing to stick to blood pressure medicines and cholesterol-lowering ds that cut their risk. The new data suggest that diagnosed strokes ‘may be just the tip of the iceberg,’ said Dr. Ralph Sacco of Columbia University. But while they raise the possibility that doctors should look for silent strokes and treat victims more aggressively, ‘we don’t have the data to show that yet.’ In a separate study, Dutch doctors did brain scans on a cross-section of 1,077 elderly people. They found that one-quarter of them had signs of stroke, and 80 percent of these were silent strokes. ‘Up until now, we have not told people about silent strokes because we didn’t know what they mean,’ said Dr. Sarah E. Vermeer of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. ‘Now we have evidence that silent strokes do count.’

#1504 sFED DROPS INTEREST RATES, ACID AT POLICY RAVE Fri, 23 Feb 2001 01:45:33 From: FED DROPS INTEREST RATES, ACID AT POLICY RAVE Federal Reserve Not So Reserved Anymore Washington, D.C. (SatireWire) Proving the Federal Reserve is anything but reserved, U.S. central bank governors today announced they had dropped interest rates, their pants, and 162 tabs of acid and Ecstasy during what turned out to be a two-day “policy rave” that ended Wednesday. According to those present, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan did not ingest any hallucinogens, although he was affected. “Alan didn’t drop, which was probably a good thing, because for about two hours there he barked like a chicken and had laser beams shooting from all 12 of his eyes,” said committee staffer Julie Lindstrom. “But his gossamer wings were soooo beautiful.” “Everyone was soooo beautiful,” she added. The closed-door session of the Federal Open Market Committee reportedly began with Greenspan discussing his upcoming Congressional testimony. However, it quickly raved-up after an unidentified staffer, frustrated at not being able to understand the opaque chairman, passed around tabs of Ecstasy and l, which he identified only as “Greenspan Decoders.” “About 45 minutes later, (Fed Governor) Nathan Gladstone says to me, ‘Julie, can you bring us the reports on monetary interventions, bond yields, and three dozen pacifiers?'” recalled Lindstrom. “Then we ordered some glowsticks and Jurassic-5 CDs, and the Open Market meeting got really, really open.” For the next 36 hours, the committee’s dignified board room was transformed into a trance room, with the heads of the New York and Dallas central banks banging out jungle-drum rhythms on the massive oval table, and the head of the Detroit bank insisting consumer confidence tastes like candy-coated clouds. Toward daybreak, male committee members and staff reportedly took off their trousers after their zippers began to emit radio signals which they feared could be picked up by passing spaceships. While the rave was “definitely a dope groove,” Fed Governor Bradley Muer said members did exhibit restraint. “Some people were going to candyflip (combine Ecstasy with acid), but most of us are Old Economy, and acid just seemed more traditional,” he said. The rave fizzled about 7 a.m., and was about to adjourn when a staffer reportedly noticed the committee hadn’t covered every item on the agenda. “We just hit re-entry, and were going watch the sun come up over the Treasury Building, when somebody said, ‘Oh shit, we forgot to drop the fed fund rates,'” explained FOMC member Gerald F. Cohen. “Then everybody just started calling out whatever numbers they saw floating in front of their eyes.” Hours later, the board finally agreed to cut rates half a percentage point. Initially, said Cohen, committee members decided to lower rates by 8 million basis points, from 6.00 to minus 7,999,994, but were talked out of it by an art deco wall sconce that claimed it was Cary Grant.

Conception and Birth, Part 3. Set, Setting, and d, Part 4. The Sessions, Part 5. Taking Pause, Part 6. What Could and Might Be, epilogue, notes. about the author. Excerpt(s): Introduction: In 1990 I began the first new research in the United States in over twenty years on the effects of psychedelic, or hallucinogenic, ds on humans. These studies investigated the effects of N, N-dimthyltryptamine, or d, on extremely short-acting and powerful psychedelic. During the project’s five years, I administered approximately four hundred doses of d to sixty human volunteers. This research took place at the University of New Mexico’s School of Medicine in Albuquerque, where I was a tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry. (page xv) The d project was founded on cutting-edge brain science, especially that which dealt with the psychopharmacology of serotonin. However, my own background, which included a decades-long relationship with a Zen Buddhist training monastery, powerfully affected how we prepared people for, and supervised, their d sessions. d: The Spirit Molecule reviews what we know about psychedelic ds in general, and d in particular. It then traces the d research project from its earliest intimations through a maze of committees and review boards to its actual performance. (pages xv-xvi) This approach will satisfy no one in every respect. There is intense friction between what we know intellectually, or even intuitively, and what we experience with the aid of d. As one of our volunteers exclaimed after his first high-dose session, “Wow! I never expected that!” Or as Dogen, a thirteenth-century Japanese Buddhist teacher, said, “We must always be disturbed by the truth.” Enthusiasts of the psychedelic d culture may dislike my conclusions: that d has no beneficial effects in and of itself; that rather, the context in which people take it is at least as important. Proponents of d control may condemn what they read as encouragement to take psychedelic ds and a glorification of the d experience. Practitioners and spokespersons of traditional religions may reject the suggestion that spiritual states can be accessed, and mystical information gained, through ds. Those who have undergone “alien abduction,” and their advocates, may interpret my suggestion that d is intimately involved in these events as a challenge to the “reality” of their experiences. Opponents and supporters of abortion rights may find fault with my proposal that a pineal d release at forty-nine days after conception marks the entrance of the spirit into the fetus. Brain researchers may object to the suggestion that d affects the brain’s ability to receive information, rather than only generating those perceptions. They may also dismiss the proposal that d can allow our brains to perceive dark matter or parallel universes, realms of existence inhabited by conscious entities. (page xvii) Prologue: First Sessions This threshold to which Philip referred is what we now call the “psychedelic threshold” for d. You cross it when there is a separation of consciousness from the body and psychedelic effects completely replace the mind’s normal contents. There is a sense of wonder or awe, and a feeling of undeniable certainty in the reality of the experience. This clearly had not occurred with 1 mg/kg intramuscular d. (page 5) Chapter 1. Psychedelic ds: Science and Society In 1948 researchers discovered that serotonin carried in the blood stream was responsible for contracting the muscles lining veins and arteries. This was vitally important in understanding how to control the bleeding process. The name for serotonin came from the Latin sero, “blood,” and tonin, “tightening.” (page 24) Another problem was that psychedelics were becoming an embarrassing source of contention even within psychiatry itself. Biology-based psychiatrists had little patience with colleagues who “found religion” and touted the spiritual effects of these ds. These latter researchers viewed their brain-only associates as narrow-minded and repressed. Psychiatry has never been especially comfortable with spiritual issues, and in fact, an entirely new division appeared in the field to contend with results from psychedelic research: the “transpersonal” area of theory and practice. Thus, at least some psychedelic researchers may have been quietly relieved that they no longer had to face many of the complex, contradictory, and confusing effects these ds produced in their patients, themselves, and their colleagues. (page 29) Chapter 2. What d Is N, N-dimthyltryptamine, or d, is the remarkable main character of this book. While chemically simple, the “spirit” molecule provides our consciousness access to the most amazing and unexpected visions, thoughts, and feelings. It throws open the door to worlds beyond our imagination. d exists in all of our bodies and occurs throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. It is a part of the normal makeup of humans and other mammals; marine animals; grasses and peas; toads and frogs; Fungi and molds; and barks, flowers, and roots. (page 42) Another plant mixture, this one consumed as a beverage, seemed to produce similar effects at a slower pace. This brew also went by several names, including ayahuasca and yage. This drink inspired much rock art and paintings drawn on the walls of native shelters – what would be called “psychedelic” art today. (page 43) However, the brain is where d exerts its most interesting effect. There, sites rich in these d-sensitive serotonin receptors are involved in mood, perception, and thought. Although the brain denies access to most ds and chemicals, it takes a particular and remarkable fancy to d. It is not stretching the truth to suggest that the brain “hungers” for it. The brain is a highly sensitive organ, especially susceptible to toxins and metabolic imbalances. A nearly impenetrable shield, the blood-brain barrier, prevents unwelcome agents from leaving the blood and crossing the capillary walls into the brain tissue. This defense extends even to keeping out the complex carbohydrates and fats that other tissues use for energy. The brain burns instead only the purist form of fuel: simple sugar, or glucose. However, a few essential molecules undergo “active transport” across the blood-brain barrier. Little specialized carrier molecules ferry them into the brain, a process that requires a significant amount of precious energy. In most cases, it is obvious why the brain activity transports particular compounds into its hallowed ground; amino acids required for maintaining brain proteins, for example, are allowed in. Twenty-five years ago, Japanese scientists discovered that the brain actively transports d across the blood-brain barrier into its tissues. I know of no other psychedelic d that the brain treats with such eagerness. This is a startling fact that we should keep in mind when we recall how readily biological psychiatrists dismissed a vital role for d in our lives. … In a way, d is “brain food,” treated in a manner similar to how the brain handles glucose, its precious fuel source. It is part of a “high turnover” system: quick in, quick used. The brain actively transports d across its defense system and just as rapidly breaks it down. It is as if d is necessary for maintaining normal brain function. It is only when levels get too high for “normal” function do we start undergoing unusual experiences. (pages 52-53) … “What is d doing in our bodies?” More specifically, let’s [ask, “Why] do we make d in our bodies?” My answer, “It is the spirit molecule.” … A spirit molecule needs to elicit, with reasonable reliability, certain psychological states we consider “spiritual.” These are feelings of extraordinary joy, timelessness, and a certainty that what we are experiencing is “more real than real.” Such a substance may lead us to an acceptance of the coexistence of opposites, such as life and death, good and evil; a knowledge that consciousness continues after death; a deep understanding of the basic unity of all phenomena; and a sense of wisdom or love pervading all existence. A spirit molecule also leads us to spiritual realms. These worlds usually are invisible to us and our instruments and are not accessible using our normal state of consciousness. However, just as likely as the theory that these worlds exist “only in our minds” is that they are, in reality “outside” of us and freestanding. If we simply change our brain’s receiving abilities, we can apprehend and interact with them. Furthermore, keep in mind that a spirit molecule is not spiritual in and of itself. It is a tool, or a vehicle. Think of it as a tugboat, a chariot, a scout on horseback, somthing to which we can hitch our consciousness. It pulls us into worlds known only to itself. We need to hold on tight, and we must be prepared, for spiritual realms include both heaven and hell, both fantasy and nightmare. While the spirit molecule’s role may seem angelic, there is no guarantee it will not take us to the demonic. Equally important is that d occurs in our bodies. We produce it naturally. Our brain seeks it out, pulls it in, and readily digests it. As an endogenous psychedelic, d may be involved in naturally occurring psychedelic states that have nothing to do with taking ds, but whose similarities to d-induced conditions are striking. While these states certainly can include psychosis, we must also include in our discussion conditions outside of mental illness. It may be upon endogenous d’s wings that we experience other life-changing states of mind associated with birth, death and near-death, entity or alien contact experiences, and mystical/spiritual consciousness. … (pages 54-55) Chapter 3. The Pineal: Meet the Spirit Gland The pineal gland contains the necessary building blocks to make d. For example, it possesses the highest levels of serotonin anywhere in the body, and serotonin is a critical precursor for pineal melatonin. The pineal also has the ability to convert serotonin to tryptamine, a critical step in d formation. (page 69) All spiritual disciplines describe quite psychedelic accounts of the transformative experiences, whose attainment motivate their practice. Blinding white light, encounters with demonic and angelic entities, ecstatic emotions, timelessness, heavenly sounds, feelings of having died and being reborn, contacting a powerful and loving presence underlying all of reality – these experiences cut across all denominations. They also are characteristic of a fully psychedelic d experience. (page 73) One of the most powerful reasons for my fascination with the pineal gland relates to its function in the life of the spirit. The importance and potential of this was brought home to me when, as a medical student in the mid-1970s, I learned of a startling coincidence involving the pineal gland and Buddhist beliefs about reincarnation. I cannot overemphasize how strong an impression this discovery made on me, and how it strengthened my research for a spiritual role for the pineal gland, and within it, the spirit molecule. I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist Book of the Dead teaches that it takes forty-nine days for the soul of the recently dead to “reincarnate.” That is, seven weeks from the time of death of one person elapses until the life-force’s “rebirth” into its next body. I remember very clearly, several years later, feeling the chill along my spine when, reading my textbook on human fetal development, I discovered this same forty-nine-day interval marking two landmark events in human embryo formation. It takes forty- nine days from conception for the first signs of the human pineal to appear. Forty-nine days is also when the fetus differentiates into male or female gender. Thus the soul’s rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require forty-nine days before they manifest. (pages 81-82) Chapter 10. Introduction to the Case Reports Volunteers usually found the high dose caused an almost complete loss of control. They felt utterly helpless, incapacitated, unable to function or interact in the “real” world: “I felt like an infant, helpless, unable to do anything.” d volunteers decided, at this point, they were happy to be in a hospital! Beyond their own loss of control, some volunteers felt another “intelligence” or “force” directing their minds in an interactive manner. This was especially common in case of contact with “beings.” (page 149) Chapter 15, Death and Dying. The morning of Carlos’s 0.4 mg/kg dose, he was sweating and shaking when I entered the room. … He began chanting as I started giving him the d. His chanting abruptly stopped halfway through the flush. He let out a big sigh at 2 minutes. He resumed chanting, more softly this time, at 3 1/2 minutes. At 12 minutes he said, Please remove my eyeshades. Laura did so. It was really quite special. I wasn’t human for about three and a half minutes. This dose creates a level of stress that’s unparalleled in the annals of Carlos’s history. He cleared his throat and said, I met myself as the Creator. “Creator of …? The Creator of all. I’ve had that realization before, but not at this level. “One of our volunteers likes to say ‘You can still be an atheist until 0.4.'” This is true. Carlos took a deep breath and began telling us what had happened. It was difficult to keep up with his rate of sharing his incredible story. There was the sound of the entire universe, more like a hum. It was pervasive, overwhelming. I thought, “Holy moly, how did I get into this?” Things weren’t right and were getting more wrong all the time. Then my ability to perceive as a human being winked out. There were no more emotions, because emotions only work up to a certain point. I saw a man lying in a hospital room. He was naked with a person on either side of him, one female and one male. At first they didn’t look like anybody I knew. They were perfect generic human beings. I recognized, in context, that they were me, you, and Laura. The way of knowing was totally different from this reality. I didn’t know I was in a study of any kind. There was somthing wrong with him. He was there to get better. The hospital was a healing center. What was wrong with him was death. The naked person was dead. What killed the person was the stress from the d. None of my guardians or protectors made an appearance. They were out of the loop. He was healed, more than healed. He was reborn. He got cured from death, healed from death. And then he became the creator of a whole universe. I gradually became more and more solid and moved toward my everyday presence. I watched the universe’s creation down from fundamental mental energy to a vibratory rate to material things. I realized I was recreating the hospital and the room. As the world jelled more and more, I wanted to see it and asked to have the eyeshades taken off. I became fascinated with my fingers, like a newborn. I’ve taught classes on how the universe is a construct of your own mind. And here it was happening. My attitude was different when I knew you were my creations. I felt as close to you as to my son and daughter. I would have to say my experience was a classical death/rebirth experience. I had done it before, but never the same way as with d. It was spectacular in imagery, texture, and atmosphere and had incredible lighting and effects. Boil it down and it’s very, very classic. The [dose of] 0.2 [mg/kg] was harrowing – this was way beyond. I knew the at such an early age. It’s one of those things that old men talk about, like “once I got there.” It’s just the wrong place and time. I expect these sorts of things in the mountains with my friends in a more ceremonial setting. (pages 230-231) Chapter 16. Mystical States One of the most compelling factors fueling my decision to make a career of psychedelic research was the similarity between high-dose psychedelic experiences and mystical experiences. Years later, it was these types of sessions I hoped to see, study, and understand in our New Mexico d volunteers. … In my early visits to the Zen Buddhist community at which I studied, I raised this question with many of the young American monks. Nearly everyone I asked at this training center answered that psychedelic ds, especially l, first opened the doors to a new reality for them. It was the pursuit of stabilizing, strengthening, and broadening their initial psychedelic flash that led them to the discipline of a communal, meditation-based ascetic life. (pages 236-237) … While I took notes, the report she wrote the next day does a better job of capturing what she experienced than does my shorthand. Before you spoke the words, “Okay, we’re done,” there arose in me an energy so forceful that no words could describe it. It drove my heart. The swirl of color reminded me of the visual experience the day before, but multiplied a millionfold. I could only hold on, remembering not to fall off into the distracting light show. Then everything stopped! The darkness opened to light, and on the other side of space all was utterly still. Then the words “just because it is possible” emerged out of nothingness and filled me. The great power sought to fill all possibilities. It was “amoral,” but it was love, and it just was. There was no benevolent god, only this primordial power. All my ideas and beliefs seemed absurdly ridiculous. I never wanted to forget this. I was aware I could open my eyes and relate to those around me. But first I had to wait for all this to solidify, to allow the fullness of the experience to congeal, so I could bring it back to the others. I wondered, “Why come back?” I was reluctant to open my eyes. When I did, the room seemed very bright, but otherwise just as I had left it. (pages 239-240) d reproduces many of the features of an enlightenment experience, including timelessness; ineffability; coexistence of opposites; contact and merging with a supremely powerful, wise, and loving presence, sometimes experienced as a white light; the certainty that consciousness continues after death of the body; and a first-hand knowledge of the basic “facts” of creation and consciousness. (page 246) Chapter 20 Stepping on Holy Toes We gave and analyzed this new questionnaire, the Hallucinogen Rating Scale, or HRS, at the end of every d session for the entire project. The results were remarkable. It is well-known in clinical psychopharmacology that a good questionnaire is more sensitive than any biological factor in assessing d effects. In other words, a well-designed rating scale is better than measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, or hormone levels in distinguishing doses of a d, or different types of ds, from each other. I hoped that the HRS would follow in that tradition, and this it did without difficulty. We were better able to separate responses to various does of d, or the effects of combining d with other ds, using HRS scores than by measuring changes in any biological variable, including all the cardiovascular and blood hormone data. However, it also validated the wisdom and strength of the Buddhist approach to mental states. Clifford Qualls, Ph.D., the Research Center biostatistician, and I grouped together HRS questions using the “clinical cluster” or skandha mthod and compared this mthod of analysis to a large number of alternative purely statistical models. The Abhidarma’s technique was a good as, if not superior to, ones developed solely upon mathematical considerations. Since the computer-derived classification of results was no better than the clinical cluster ones, and since using the skandhas made more sense intuitively, the Buddhist classification system won out. Other groups have since used the HRS and confirmed its usefulness in measuring other altered states of consciousness, d-induced or otherwise. (pages 299-300) And then the Fall 1996 issue of Tricycle, The Buddhist Review came out with my article calling for a discussion of integrating psychedelics into Buddhist practice. In that article I presented Elena’s first high-dose session, which we’ve read in chapter 16, “Mystical States.” Her experience served as an example of the type of spiritual breakthrough possible with d in someone open to them – that is, a person with a serious meditation practice, solid psychological mindedness, and a deep reverence and respect for ds like d. I also raised the concern that isolated experiences, occurring without any sort of spiritual or therapeutic context, were not especially effective in producing long-term serious change in our volunteers. I therefore concluded with the following: “I believe there are ways in which Buddhism and the psychedelic community might benefit from an open, frank exchange of ideas, practices, and ethics. For the psychedelic community, the ethical, disciplined structuring of life, experience, and the relationship provided by thousands of years of Buddhist communal tradition have much to offer. This well-developed tradition could infuse meaning and consistency into isolated, disjointed, and poorly integrated psychedelic experiences. The wisdom of the psychedelic experience, without the accompanying and necessary love and compassion cultivated in a daily practice, may otherwise be frittered away in an excess of narcissism and self-indulgence. While this is also possible within a Buddhist meditative tradition, it is less likely with the check and balances in place within a dynamic community of practitioners. “On the other hand, dedicated Buddhist practitioners with little success in their meditation, but well along in moral and intellectual development, might benefit from a carefully timed, prepared, supervised, and followed-up psychedelic session to accelerate their practice. Psychedelics, if anything, provide a view. And a view, to one so inclined, can inspire the long hard work required to make that view a living reality.” (pages 305-306) Chapter 22. The Futures of Psychedelic Research Understanding religious sensibilities in as deep, a manner as possible also is necessary for being fully supportive and understanding while supervising psychedelic sessions. This does not mean simply having spiritual or religious experiences oneself, with or without a psychedelic. Rather it ought to include training and background in religious sensibilities. Education in theology, ethics, and ritual additionally will help in empathizing with and understanding important aspects of the full psychedelic experience. (pages 337-338) In addition to the treatment of clinical disorders, psychedelics could be used to enhance characteristics of our normal state of being, such as creativity, problem-solving abilities, spirituality, and so on. The research institute I envision will carefully and responsibly take the lead in such studies. This work may ultimately serve more people, and have greater overall impact, than strictly pathology-based therapy projects. We are seeing an ever-increasing availability of relatively side-effect-free antidepressants, sexual performance enhancers, stimulants, and mood stabilizers. These new, easy-to-take chemical agents are forcing us to reevaluate the risks and benefits involved in making us better than average. Why not use psychedelics, too, for indications other than treating the sick? (page 340)

#1608 New ground. Unbelievable. Sat, 7 Apr 2001 17:18:50 From: ” #8 D.M. Turner – 30 mg. N.N. d (subsequent to smoking Salvinorin) I loaded my pipe and smoked 30 mg. in three tokes. I entered d space and was greeted with the usual pantheon of critters and objects. Recollection of my recent Salvinorin journey and desire to connect in the same way with d was basically forgotten as I watched the elves moving about. These elves and other creatures didn’t seem to be doing anything of particular interest or meaning, and looking past them I saw some doors from behind which came occasional flashes of bright, colored light. A friend of mine had recently remarked that he thought the d elves were primarily there to distract one from entering the deeper aspects of d experiences, and that he’d been successful in moving beyond them by willing the elves to let him pass. This was in my mind as I said to the elves “Let Me Through. Let Me Through….” I had to repeat this several times with lots of force, even saying it out loud. Eventually the elves reluctantly let me through, and as I passed though a doorway I was admitted to a vast dimensional space. At this point I seemed to be flying. I was disembodied consciousness, and I scanned this new space to hone in on any beings that might be present. Soon I came across some angel/guardian type beings. I recall there were about seven of them. They looked like blobs of light. somewhat gray in color and sort of egg-shaped. They appeared solid from a distance, but on closer examination I saw that their bodies were made of closely packed fibers. These were connected at the center but apparently could open at any point on the outside of their bodies. They seemed to be part computer. part robot, part flesh/brain matter. But all of these elements were blended into one living whole. When I came into their territory these beings briefly glanced over at me, as if saying “what’s all this commotion,” then went back to their tasks, seemingly ignoring me. It seemed that they were busy watching over everything that happens in our space-time dimension, and occasionally making minor adjustments to keep everything in line. Anyway, my thrust of will which had propelled me past the elves and through the door into the guardian’s space, continued propelling me out through the back of the guardian’s realm and into another time space dimension. When I first entered this new time-space dimension I encountered its guardian beings. These beings looked similar to, but slightly different than, the guardians from our dimension. There were about 50 to 60 of them, and they reacted very differently to my appearance. These beings were quite surprised to see me, primarily because I had not come from the dimension that they were guarding, but had come in from the back side of hyperspace. They all huddled together as if in conference, trying to determine if it was OK to let me pass. Eventually they decided, with hesitation, that I could continue on, and I swooped down into a foreign planetary system. I came to a planet that was highly evolved, both scientifically and technically. The place I entered into was some type of research center, and my attention was focused on some large metallic pods that were being moved in and out of racks by elaborate robotic arms. Bach of these pods was somthing like an isolation chamber. They were shaped like large coffins about eight feet long, although with rounded edges. The oval cross sections were about three feet wide. The beings who used these pods looked exactly like humans. The pods were filled with a foam-type material which was connected to the sides of the pod. and also contacted the entire skin surface area of the person inside the pod. The foam was serrated, and I understood that it served as a conductor of food, water, heat, medicines, etc. between the pods’ technical systems and the person resting in it. These pods were also cold chambers. They were not for cryogenically freezing a person, but put them into some type of suspended animation. It was soon impressed on me that the whole purpose of these pods and this research center, was that this was the mthod the people here used to increase the level of d in the brains of the pod sleepers. One fortunate enough to be a research subject would go into a pod for weeks or months at a time. The d levels in their brain would be significantly increased, and they would spend their time having the most fascinating dreams! This research that was taking place was considered the most serious aspect of this society’s evolution. I entered into the mind of a person inside a pod. It was a woman who appeared to be about 25 years old. As I went into her mind and became aware of all I’ve described above, she simultaneously became aware of much of my world. This was the first time her society had ever had contact with an earthling. And it was quite a shock and discovery for her to find out that there were other people who didn’t need to go through the elaborate technological process of increasing d levels through suspended animation, but simply smoked the stuff and could collect it from any of several plants. It must have been a bit embarrassing for her. Initially I thought that she must have asked her guardians to let her pass into another dimension as I had done. Although on further thought, it seemed that I had come to her dimension on my own power, and was quite possibly invading her space. She may have been a bit taken back by this, as well. Almost instantly she wanted to leave her pod to announce her discovery to the rest of the research team and go to the Israeli Spiritual Beings trance party tonight.

#1657 Parasense Review/This Week/Workshop/Focus Group Tue, 24 Apr 2001 20:29:48 From: “sElf Trance Former” PARASENCE(sp?) REVIEW: PARASENSE in Brooklyn was amazingly off the hook. Good crowd, not so crowded that you could never dance. The music was wonderful. Every fifteen seconds the tracks would switch, each time jacking you in deeper and deeper, never ever repetitive, never ever boring, yet still the overall efect was entrancing. Sampling like Public Enemy, machined up like I’ve rarely heard. It sounded so intricate that it sounded like a turntablist. I wonder if their CDs sound the same. It took me sooo long to leave at 5:30am. The Mackie sound system was rocking. The Israeli guy Psychodog was energetic and victory. The venue was far but fun with a lot of rides, slides, and whatnot (next time guys – leave the video games on). Max from Psilocib did yet another great job and should be commended for sticking to it against all odds in the face of competition. Shame on those who spread – or heard and believed – rumours that the party was cancelled. Guess what. You missed out. The party was always “on,” and if you still doubt me, then you should check your email. I go almost everything I post, and know who is shady and who is not (it just so happens there are not a lot of shady people in psytrance) There has NEVER been an instance of a party being cancelled and it not being posted on this list. If you’re never 100% sure, check your email. If a promoter were to not contact me about a cancellatuion or significant headliner change, it is bad bad bad. Max has thrown two good parties before and this makes three. Throw him some freaking slack already! TUESDAY is a double rocking night with a nice house party at LIQUIDS and a psytrance party adownstairs at Izzy BAR. WEDNESDAY Angeles from Chile spins at Opium Den. THURSDAY VELVET has a “progressive trance” night every Thursday night: THURSDAYS at VELVET MIDWEST EXPRESS PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS: DJ’S: KIMBE (CANDY RECORDS)and ALEXANDER SOLOMOS (CANDY RECORDS)SPIN TRANCE FROM 10 UNTIL 2.

#1673 To: “thed” thed, “. Com” Is God a State of Mind? Tue, 1 May 2001 13:48:12 From: “sElf Trance Former” (This is 100% on topic… also – limited edition Parasense unreleased bootlegs on sale – $10 – email me via paypal to reserve – will fundraise to get them back) Is God a State of Mind? By Laurie Barclay, MD WebMD Medical News Reviewed by Dr. Jacqueline Brooks April 11, 2001 Read the daily paper or watch the local TV news and a seemingly endless parade of chaotic, violent events unfolds: school shootings, terrorism, murder, child abuse. Many people make sense of these seemingly senseless events through a belief in a Supreme Being and faith that their God won’t desert them in a time of need. This faith may be well placed, according to a Philadelphia-based radiologist well placed in the brain, that is. In Why God Won’t Go Away, released April 1 by Ballantine Books, co-author Andrew B. Newberg, MD, explains his theory that the human brain is hard-wired for religion. Just as the mind has the capacity for analytical thought, abstract mathematical reasoning, and invention of highly sophisticated technology, it also has the capacity and the built-in design to experience God. Scientific study of how the brain works can’t tell us if there is a God, he tells WebMD, but it can tell us about how human beings understand God. “Our work neurotheology has a reverence for both science and religion,” he says.” In a study to be published this month in Psychiatry Research and Neuroimaging, Newberg and a team of fellow researchers describe their study of the brain activity of eight Tibetan Buddhists in the throes of a peak meditative experience. “We used meditation as a model … for prayer and other types of intense religious experience,” says Newberg, assistant professor of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. see increased activity in the brain during meditation. Brain areas important in focused concentration were especially active. Even more astounding was altered activity in a brain region that normally orients us and tells us where our bodies are in space. The different pattern of brain activity in this particular brain region may explain why meditators feel transported out of the physical world and into a spiritual realm that seems no less real. “As the boundaries between self and physical surroundings go away, the meditator feels at one with somthing larger, whether a religious community, the world as a whole, or ultimately, God,” Newberg says. The brain activity patterns in the meditating Buddhists were similar to those in the praying Franciscan nuns, another religious group studied by Newberg. Hymns, chants, ritual dancing, and sacred rites may also intensify focus, block out external stimuli, and provide a pathway to mystical experience, even in nonbelievers. “Too much meditation can over-drive brain areas and drop us into another universe for a while,” says Laurence O. McKinney, director of the American Institute for Mindfulness in Arlington, Mass. Analyzing the brain states of spiritual practices started in the 1960s when researchers from the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kan., first went to India to record the brain waves of yogis, McKinney says. He claims his group first coined the term ‘neurotheology’ in the 1980s, and then published the book Neurotheology in 1994. “Explanations change every time we get a new [way to measure brain function], but eternal truths and eternal questions still remain,” McKinney tells WebMD. One of these new measurement techniques, called functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has partially confirmed Newberg’s findings. In a study published last year in NeuroReport, investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the MindMedical Institute in Boston used MRI to examine the brains of five experienced meditators and found increased activity in the regions involved in concentration and excitability. “Additional brain regions involved in memory were also … activated during meditation,” Jeffery A. Dusek, PhD, associate director for clinical research at the MindMedical Institute, tells WebMD. Future plans for Dusek’s team are to re-evaluate these findings in a three-year study funded by the Atlanta-based CDC. Still, some experts advise against reading too much into Newberg’s findings. “Anything we do or feel, from a simple activity like moving a finger to the deepest passion like love or rage, has its own characteristic pattern of brain activity,” says Pietro Pietrini, MD, PhD, who has used SPECT scanning to study brain activity in different emotional states for example, in healthy subjects imagining acts of aggression. “This is a fascinating field that needs to be entered with extreme caution and a rigorous scientific approach,” says Pietrini, a professor of clinical biochemistry and psychiatry at the University of Pisa in Italy. “There is a complex interrelationship between mind, body, and spirit,” Michael E. McCullough, PhD, tells WebMD. “Those behaviors and experiences designed to put people in touch with the transcendent may give them a survival advantage.” In an analysis of 42 different clinical studies, McCullough found that religious involvement was associated with lower death rate, even after accounting for obvious health advantages such as less alcohol and tobacco use and more social support. Could active religious faith prevent illness or forestall death? “It’s too soon to tell,” says McCullough, associate professor of psychology at Southern mthodist University in Dallas. “Understanding how the brain works can go a long way toward understanding the impact of religion, both physically and spiritually,” says Newberg. With religious experiences such as meditation or prayer, heart rate and blood pressure decrease and changes in hormone levels may improve the function of the immune system, he explains. Brain activity studies show that meditation is not just a passive experience but that increased excitability at peak meditation seems to confirm the “active bliss” reported by Newberg’s study subjects. “They feel profoundly calm, yet highly alert and intensely aware,” Newberg says. “Spiritual experiences are more real to them than everyday reality like walking down the street. And they’re not frightening, disorganized, or disorienting like d-induced states or hallucinations seen in mental illness.” “We’re looking at philosophy and religion in a more scientific way,” says Pietrini, says. “Science has no way to prove or disprove a Creator, but finding unique patterns of brain activity corresponding to religious experiences is entirely compatible with religious beliefs.” Though skeptics may argue that God lives only in the mind of the faithful, Newberg suggests that the opposite conclusion is equally valid: “If there is a God, it makes perfect sense that He would create a way for us to communicate with Him.” “If truth were told, nearly all the nonbelievers would love a reason to believe,” McKinney says. “Newberg believes he’s done a good job providing some reasons, and for those who follow his path, I wish them well.”

#1677 Cc: “Thed. Com” thedThanks from Alphatrance Mon, 30 Apr 2001 21:30:35 From: Reprinted with permission from Gosha Trance fan:The Thing from Outer Space wrote: The outdoor party after Tsunami wasthe best party i’ve been to in a long-long time …took place last saturday under the bridge. I would like to thank everyone who made it happen 🙂 GoshaI also feel that it’s really worth saying thank you to all who made it possible. I’ll try not to address any personal issues (not so easy to do with my level of involvement). First of all, the very idea of bringing Parasense -Under the Bridge came out/ was born/ inspired by Nyasha (Anya) POPOVA. (she’s a real meta-DJ, Dj who spin DJ’s :)) It was really sad that most of the trance-party people missed the guys 1st NY appearence a week ago, and Parasense themselves didn’t see much of ‘NYC hard-trancing’ As for the party itself, eventually it turned out to be absolutely collective effort. So many different things wouldn’t work out without help of so different people. I’m sure that’s exact reason why “the vibe” was so incredible. The weather, the people, the music, the fact that Parasense eventually came from Boston and somehow found us and showed up in the middle of the party (they couldn’t play /DAT-machines broken/, but I didn’t care much (almost 🙂 I was glad they made it and were experiencing our “under the bridge” activities). Then Jeff brought … DAT-player Ed. note – cab paid for bt House of Trance!and party got jump started again, That unifying feeling was incredible. And there was no eX involved! (some of the people were tripping shit out of them, though 🙂 crazy acid-fest, smoking-chilim-lying-on-the-grass-looking-at-the-sky-see-the-smiles-and-face -of-love.. Now, back to people 🙂 Very special thank you to Misha (you know, the dude who used to draw flyers for Alphatrance events :), who helped to move, set up and do all the preparations, made sure everything is cool and… had to leave and missed all the fun. to Grisha end Co. who stayed afterwards – to all the dudes, who played the tunes, (and all who didn’t but wanted to) – and to all who did participate, did help and has been nice and beautiful – eshe raz bol’shoe SPASIBO! Gosha/ dj Indra PSIf I forgot or offended anybody – sorry, there was no bad intention Ed. noteafter a lot of people left we went on, played requests straight off a wireless connection to Napster. At the end, even the local 12 and 13 year old cigarette bumming homies got to hear some Wu Tang Clan. Everybody won. People, this party was off the hook and if you would liuke to get involved, get info, join the friggin’ d. See, we want Quality not Quality. It’s easier to keep the wrong people out in the first place rather than eject them once they are there. Thanks for understanding

Either that, or there is a really stupid mer out there with a lot of time on his hands! Down with munism! i agree with your opinion on E. It is harmful and my site is set up to communicate that risk. Compared to other sites on the web I focus on the risk and harm to one’s ability to produce serotonin. Many young people are causing irreparable harm. Occasionally I have gotten requests similar to yours, but quite honestly it’s been about one or two a year. I doubt if anyone would want to use E after reading my web page on its hazards. My intuition tells me that chat rooms are a much more promising target. I wish you luck in shutting anybody connected with the distribution of E down, esp. those who sell to young people online. one other thing. i appreciate your candor and honesty. but i suspect that is not what we’re dealing with here. i doubt the US gov’t would waste our tax dollars on building a huge d retail company just to be a front for online shoppers of illicit ds. why go to that much trouble when you could just get a hotmail account? if you are NOT in law enforcement – and really trying to buy E online – you are doing your company dstore a great disservice and should be fired. the co. could be sued, or worse, be investigated by the DEA or FTC. only an idiot would use their corporate email for any illegal activity (or even sexual or racist jokes etc). I understand you might be trying to play vigilante but leave that to the professionals, you will get burned. play it safe buddy. consider this a warning – someone will eventually call you on your bluff and alert your boss.

#1685 2 May 2001 15:32:00 – Medical Iboga/Marijuana Rally Medical Iboga/Marijuana Rally Saturday, May 5, 2001 Time: 11:30AM – 1:30PM The NYPD is issuing a permit for a “ibogaine/separate marijuana from hard ds” rally from 11 am to 12:30 PM on Washington Place East of the Square, from Greene Street to Broadway, for the morning of Saturday, May 5th. The New York Civil Liberties Union was able to secure this permit for cures not wars/mmm solely because New York University, which has administrative offices on Washington Place, is one of the only universities in the U.S. contemplating an Ibogaine trialfor interruption of heroin addictionand one of only 5 certified by NIDA to work on new cures for hard d addiction. The police betrayed their obsession with forever banning our parade and rally from Washington Square by insisting on a one block buffer zone between our protest and the park. But the granting of the permit constitutes a tacit admission that we have legitimate reasons to demonstrate in the Square to influence University/community policy on ds in the greater Village area, which stretches from Canal to 23rd Streets, and east to Alphabet City. For 25 years the annual marijuana protests gathered in Washington Square Park, where tens of thousands people learned to look for our unique blend of politics, music and high spiritsand more important, KNEW WHERE TO FIND US. One year after 239 people were arrested at the ’96 rally, a handful of anti-pot fanatics succeeded in banning the event totally from Washington Square Park with the connivance of the Giuliani Administration and the 6th Precinct. In ’98 and “99 they put on a “Family Day,” which flopped miserably, in our place, while protests continued on the periphery of the Park. But our attendance dropped by several thousand or more last year when we were moved 4 blocks away, to the corner of Houston and Broadway. This blatant intimidation and interference with our freedom of speech and assembly was not, however, sufficient for ou

This is the kickoff for The Campaign for Disclosure, a campaign to get open hearings in the Congress, ban weapons from space and get the earth-saving technologies related to UFO energy and propulsion systems out to benefit an ailing world. This Campaign will continue until its goals are met. You can be part of history by becoming involved in this event by: Contacting your member of Congress and your two Senators and asking them to meet with me and some of these heroic witness May 10 and 11 and by asking them to support open congressional hearings and legislation on the matter; Senators: web senate.gov Congresspersons: web house.gov Contacting your local TV stations and newspapers and encouraging them to attend the National Press Club press conference and to cover the matter seriously and responsibly; they may also view the news conference on the Internet since it will be WEBCAST LIVE on May 9th from 9 to 11 a.m. at the following web site: web connectlive/events/disclosureproject Contact any mainstream news reporters you personally know and invite them on our behalf to the National Press Club to cover the event; Let us know if you have personal contacts to any VIPs, opinion leaders, etc., who should be briefed; there is a special VIP briefing on May 10 in the evening in Washington, DC for such people. Contact us at: Disclosure2001 at cs or at 540 456 8302 to arrange for such VIPs to come to this special meeting with the witnesses. You and your honored guests are invited to a day long Disclosure Symposium in Washington, DC on Saturday, May 12 at the Washington Hilton at 1919 Connecticut Avenue. Registration is from 9 a.m. -10 a.m.; the program begins at 10 a.m. and will go until around 9:30 p.m. that night. Numerous government witnesses will present their testimony. There is no charge for this Disclosure Symposium but you MUST preregister at Disclosure2001 at cs. Seating is very limited. Also, let any VIPs know of this event and invite them to attend. I would like to thank each one of you for your help, support and hard work over the years that has made this Campaign for Disclosure a reality. Without you, none of this would be possible! Wishing you the best of all worlds, Steven M. Greer MD Director of The Disclosure Project attachments, below For Immediate Release Contact: Alfred Webre 604-733-8134 Dr. Steven Greer 540-456-8302 Wednesday, May 9th, 2001 8 – 9 AM – Continental Breakfast 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM – Press conference The National Press Club Ballroom 529 14th Street NW Washington, DC MILITARY, GOVERNMENT WITNESSES TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY ON UFO/EXTRATERRESTRIAL PRESENCE; CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION SOUGHT On Wednesday, May 9th, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses will come forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the reality of UFOs or extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and resulting advanced energy and propulsion technologies. The weight of this first-hand testimony, along with supporting government documentation and other evidence, will establish without any doubt the reality of these phenomena, according to Dr. Steven M. Greer, director of the Disclosure Project which is hosting the event. The Disclosure Project, a non-profit research organization, is calling for open Congressional hearings on the UFO/Extraterrestrial presence, and for legislation that will ban space-based weapons. Congressional hearings were last held in 1968 by the House Science and Astronautics Committee (90th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print No. 7. “Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects.”) The Project has identified several hundred witnesses throughout the world and spanning every branch of the armed services, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), DIA, CIA, NASA, Russia. UK, and other agencies and countries. Over 100 have been videotaped; 70 have been transcribed into edited testimony. Videotaped summary of the testimony and an in-depth briefing document with witness transcripts will be available at the press conference. Among the witnesses attending the event are: John Callahan, former Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch, FAA; Master Sergeant Dan Morris, former US Air Force and NRO operative with cosmic top secret clearance; Dr. Carol Rosin, space missile defense consultant and former spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun; Major George A. Filer III, former Air Force Intelligence; Graham Bethune, retired Navy commander pilot with a top-secret clearance; Michael Smith, former Air Traffic Controller, US Air Force; Sergeant Clifford Stone, United States Army; Lt. Col. Robert Salas, former SAC Launch Controller, US Air Force and FAA. Participants in this phase of the disclosure effort are asking for Congressional, White House and UN action to allow witnesses to testify under oath in open hearings. The group is requesting a Presidential Executive Order to protect witnesses afraid of violating security oaths and to declassify documents and secret projects for the benefit of all world citizens. “These testimonies establish once and for all that we are not alone. Technologies related to extraterrestrial phenomena are capable of providing solutions to the global energy crisis, and other environmental and security challenges,” says Dr. Greer. The Disclosure team and selected witnesses will be meeting with members of Congress and conducting briefings to address these issues and call for legislation. Wednesday, May 9th 8 – 9 AM Continental Breakfast 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM – Overview by Dr. Greer; Witness Presentations; Release of Statement for Congress; Questions Ballroom -The National Press Club 529 14th Street NW – 13th Floor Washington, D.C Contact: Alfred Webre 604-733-8134 Dr. Steven Greer 540-456-8302 DISCLOSURE PROJECT CALLS ON U.S. CONGRESS FOR HEARINGS & LEGISLATION: To hold open, secrecy-free hearings on the UFO/Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth. To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems that, when publicly released, will provide solutions to global environmental challenges. To enact legislation which will ban all space-based weapons. To enact comprehensive legislation to research, develop and explore space peacefully and cooperatively with all cultures on Earth and in space. The recorded testimony of scores of military, government and other witnesses to Unidentified Flying Objects and Extraterrestrial events and projects from around the world establishes the existence of a UFO/Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth. This recorded testimony consists of dozens of first-hand, often top-secret witnesses to UFO and Extraterrestrial events, internal UFO-related government projects and covert activities, space-based weapons programs, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and covert, reverse-engineered energy and propulsion system projects. The technologies that are of an Extraterrestrial origin, when publicly released within a planned transition period, will provide solutions to global environmental and security challenges. These numerous recorded witnesses constitute only a small portion of a vast pool of identified present or former military, intelligence, corporate, aviator, flight control, law enforcement officers, scientists and other witnesses, who will come forward when subpoenaed to testify at Congressional hearings. Without a grant of immunity releasing them from their security oaths, many such unimpeachable witnesses fear to speak out. The legislation to ban space-based weapons will prohibit acts of war against Extraterrestrial civilizations. The comprehensive legislation will transform the terrestrial war industry into a world cooperative space industry. This will provide unprecedented benefits and opportunities to all on Earth and in space. Contact: Alfred Webre 604-733-8134 Dr. Steven Greer 540-456-8302 BACKGROUND BRIEFING POINTS FOR CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS & LEGISLATION * The Disclosure Project is a non-profit research effort that has, since 1993, been identifying top-secret military, government and other witnesses to UFO and Extraterrestrial events. * To date, several hundred such witnesses have been identified throughout the world and spanning every branch of the armed services, the NRO, DIA, CIA, NASA, the former USSR, and other agencies and countries. Over 100 have been videotaped, thus far; 70 have been transcribed into edited testimony. A four hour videotape summary of testimony and an over 500 page briefing document is available that contains excerpts of this historic testimony. * The weight of this testimony, along with supporting government documents and other evidence, establishes beyond any doubt the reality of extraterrestrial life forms, UFOs, or extraterrestrial vehicles, and advanced energy and propulsion technologies resulting from the study of these vehicles. * The testimony and evidence proves that these vehicles have been tracked on radar on many occasion, have landed and/or crashed on terra firma, and have been retrieved and studied by specialized and compartmentalized projects. Advanced technologies which have been identified from the study of these vehicles, once disclosed, will replace currently used forms of energy generation and propulsion. These technologies will enable the earth to attain a sustainable civilization without pollution, energy shortages, or global warming. These technologies are already fully operational. They have been developed within super-secret, unacknowledged special access projects. In short, the definitive solution to the world’s energy, pollution, and poverty problems exists within compartmentalized projects that need planned disclosure and relevant legislation. * The programs controlling this issue are operating outside of legally required Congressional oversight. Even Presidents have been left out of the loop, deliberately deceived, and denied access. Therefore, urgent action is needed on the part of Congress, the White House, and other institutions to obtain the necessary oversight and control of these operations to ensure that these now-classified technologies are prepared for disclosure and the eventual near-term application for world cooperative energy generation and propulsion. * A clear and on-going threat to the national security and world peace has arisen because of unauthorized covert actions that have led to the targeting and downing of these extraterrestrial vehicles and to related covert plans to weaponize space. Since it can be proven that we are sharing space with other civilizations, it is critical that a full disclosure of this long suppressed information take place, and that the National Missile Defense System (NMD/BMD/SDI.) be re-evaluated by policy makers in light of these revelations. * There is no evidence that these extraterrestrial civilizations are hostile to humanity or the earth. Rather, the testimony shows that they are very concerned about nuclear and space-based weapons systems, and human warfare. Therefore, a cooperative world policy and law must be immediately established to prohibit the targeting and striking of these vehicles. * Urgent Congressional, White House and UN action is needed to allow any and all witnesses to testify under oath so that a full, honest and open disclosure may occur this year, 2001, including witnesses with high level security clearances. *A US Presidential Executive Order is needed to protect these military, government, and other witnesses, and to declassify secret projects and their related technologies. * The world community needs to research and develop diplomatic programs and protocols, laws and treaties to address this issue and to interface with these civilizations in a manner that is peaceful, non- violent and mutually beneficial. * WE, THE PEOPLE, CALL ON THE U.S. CONGRESS; *To hold open, secrecy-free hearings on the UFO/Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth. *To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems related to the subject that, when publicly released, will provide solutions to global environmental and other challenges. *To enact legislation which will ban all space-based weapons. *To enact comprehensive legislation to research, develop and explore space peacefully and cooperatively with all cultures on Earth and in space.

Soul Hunting involves the use of ritual ‘double drumming’, spiritual breathing and trance dancing as mthods for entering our ethereal or ‘body/mind’ consciousness. Participants are transported on a journey into an ‘altered reality’ or a ‘state of trance’ where is becomes possible to re-unite with pieces of the soul lost through difficulties resulting from severe anxiety and/or emotional stress. Soul Hunting also renews and energizes the spirit, thereby healing old damage or ‘soul loss’ acquired through situations involving mental, physical, emotional or sexual trauma. Previous Soul Hunting Ritual participants report that they were able to reconcile previously unresolvable illnesses and difficulties. Soul Hunting participants also report a renewed state of integrity, wholeness and well-being.

#1700 My life with John Emmanuel Gartman Tue, 8 May 2001 18:18:00 From: “sElf Trance Former” Had a conversation with John Emmanuel Gartman of Tsunami last week. I’m just communicating for him what he said, don’t email me back, he doesn’t read these lists. He expresses his deepest condolences for the multiple instances of double booking in May. He gave credible reasons for each date snafu – from Spectra, then Synthetic, and now Subtlechaos. He says that May was a fluke, and that anybody in their right minds wants to see independent trance groups grow and grow. A rising tide. A Tsunami!! (My words) In the five years I have known him I see the good and the bad. He is a unique individual with a crazy vision. I’m not going to rehash my relationship with John. I understand when people get together and money is involved is more volatile than a marriage in Texas. But I’ve seen creeps, and John is not a creep. I love John. He made trance just commercial enough, just clean and washed enough, where yuppie yoyos like me started going in 1995. Now he has heard that he has been massacred in the email lists recently, and is very distressed and wanted feedback on how this can all be resolved. I told him it’s simple, try as hard as you can not to help drive the small guys out of the trance “industry”. With so many parties and groups now, there will be multiple choices for “consumers.” If people don’t want to be passive “consumers” then they will make their own decisions, based on karma, sound, ethics, and DJs!!! So he says he will try harder now. He is open to suggestions on doing a better job at tsunamitrance (just don’t, you know, call him and tell him to go…) Anyway, there will be a LOT of double- and triple booking this summer – good luck to all. My position? Tsunami is Microsoft trying to acquire Time Warner/AOL. Synthetic is Apple. Spectra is Linux. Subtlechaos is the Melissa virus. d is Flash (but not in the pan). Some of us are Napster. Mark is Gnutella. Andrei is Winmx. Rishi is Winamp. Jacob is Mandala. Blue Room is Amiga. CCC is Adobe. Parasense is a bunch of chicken bones rattled over your computer with chunks of cacti.

Djs: * Dj Ran (Spiritual Beings) * Dj Eitan (Spiritual Beings) C – Hey, Let’s Build a Shield Against Another Incoming Threat By BRUCE McCALL CONTROVERSY is already raging around the Bush administration’s bold new initiative to halt the flow of illegal substances into the United States for good. Details are secret and security tight, but the “d Wars” concept closely resembles its sibling, the newest incarnation of the “Star Wars” dream of an anti-missile defense system to protect the entire continental United States. Unlike the new land-based missile defense shield, the d Wars shield will consist of thousands of specially trained “astrodogs” circling in space aboard high-tech kennels. Their mission: to sniff out incoming d shipments from as far as 2,000 miles away in the ultra-clear, ultra-clean atmosphere of space, where smells can travel undiminished for thousands of light- years, and start barking. Allegedly, every such bark will be picked up by sensitive listening devices at d Enforcement Administration headquarters in Washington;the precise location of the law-breaking invader by air, sea or land will be electronically pinpointed, and a response instantly triggered. Within seconds, a shower of water bombs released from hovering “space barrels” will hit their target with the estimated force of six tsunamis. Administration backers acclaim the d Wars concept as a foolproof and impregnable barrier against d trafficking from abroad. Skeptics pooh-pooh the very idea of astrodogs as the linchpin of a deterrent system. “It’s badly flawed,” scoffs one. “Some defense system, when dogs spend more than half their lives asleep!” Other critics point to the system’s “exorbitant” $300 billion estimated cost. “And that doesn’t even include all the freeze-dried kibble those mutts will require,” snorts one Capitol Hill doubting Thomas. “A bonanza for Big Dogfood, a burden for the hard- working American taxpayer.” A research-and-development budget is the administration’s initial priority in getting the d Wars project underway. “A hundred million or so should get things off the ground,” forecasts one budgetary planner. “We buy up all the German shepherd breeders in America, do some preliminary testing of kennels incidentally, saving tons of money by snapping up used Russian space stations at bargain prices and subcontract with conventioneering Shriners to practice dropping water bombs out hotel windows. That’s another big plus about the d Wars idea. It may seem straight out of Buck Rogers, but, hey, it’s not exactly rocket science. A lot of it’s real low-tech, in fact.” Opponents’ other concerns that d Wars could lead to the contamination of outer space with fleas, for example, and the threat of a nationwide “pet drain” as all the smart dogs are drafted into the program are dismissed by its advocates. “Every daring new idea is bad-mouthed by the timid types, the nervous Nellies,” remarks one. “I’ll bet my Rottweiler that these guys all have Yorkies and Chihuahuas.” President Bush is reportedly set to volunteer his own dog, Spot, to be the first astrodog, as a symbol of his personal commitment to the d Wars program, and in a coming speech at the Texas Kennel Club’s annual Bow-Wow is expected to stir widespread public involvement by calling for a schoolchildren’s drive to collect rubber bones and other playthings for the nation’s thousands of space-based canine sentinels. Anti-d Wars forces, meanwhile, are about to recommend that dog owners hang “Hell No, I Won’t Go!” placards around their pets’ necks, and will soon introduce legislation tightening America’s dog-napping laws. But the d Wars debate is only in its early stages. More strident arguments, pro and con, are sure to mark public discourse as both sides dig in. Is the antagonism of the d Wars foes more bark than bite? Are its proponents barking up the wrong tree? “There hasn’t been a subject this emotional in dog’s years,” one observer comments. “The fur is really going to fly.” D. 21st Century Alchemy written by Gong Zizhen – born 1792 – China [For] when the wealthy vie with each other in splendor and display while the poor squeeze each other to death; when the poor do not enjoy a moment’s rest while the rich are comfortable; when the poor lose more and more while the rich keep piling up treasures; when in some ever more extravagant desires awaken, and in others an ever more burning hatred; when some become more and more arrogant and overbearing in their conduct, and others ever more miserable and pitiful until gradually the most perverse and curious customs arise, bursting forth as though from a hundred springs and impossible to stop, all of this will finally congeal in an ominous vapor which will fill the space between heaven and earth with its darkness. E. Lev Markov Psychology 101 Gender differences in the subjective effects of E In this study, Matthias E. Liechti, Alex Gamma and Franz X. Vollenweider performed a controlled analysis of the differences and similarities of E (commonly referred to as Ecstasy or E) effects on both genders. The focus of this psychological study was based around 74 subjects: 54 male and 20 female who were all staff (physicians and students) from the Medical School of Zurich and ranged between 20-49 years of age. The experiment was done in a calm and comfortable laboratory environment. Each participant was given 1.5+/-.09mg/kg of E or placebo and immediately following, the experiences of each was assessed using psychometric ratings. Blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature were also measured throughout the experiment. After the experiment was over, the subjects also described any side effects that may have occurred. The psychometric results were derived from a survey (OAV) which used three important characteristics of experience: Oceanic boundlessness which described a positive mood, Anxious ego dissolution which measured arousal and anxiety, and Visionary restructuralization measuring any visual hallucinations or distortions. When analyzed, the results of the OAV showed that overall, women were more dose sensitive than the men in the study. The largest gender difference was in the VR portion of the results where it was noted that many females had visual (pseudo-) hallucinations whereas the men did not. Furthermore, the increase in dose also increased the amount of hallucinations in women while the men experienced none of this. In conclusion, the study showed that E has a stronger effect on women than it does on men, therefore indicating that women are more susceptible to the flooding 5-HT (serotonin) release associated with E. This study bears much importance to those women interested in the recreational use of the d because it is imperative to know exactly how a particular substance will affect you before you ingest it. Many users are constantly surprised by the strong psychological effects of E and thus experience negative side effects stemming from the shock such as nausea or overall discomfort. Source used: M.E.

Introduction from; The Secret Life of Plants Tompkins/Bird (continued) Is it chance that plants grow into special shapes to adapt to the idiosyncrasies of insects which will pollinate them, luring these insects with special color and fragrance, rewarding them with their favorite nectar, devising extraordinary canals and floral machinery with which to ensnare a bee so as to release it through a trap door only when the pollination process is completed? Is it really nothing but a reflex or coincidence that a plant such as the orchid Trichoceros parviforus will grow its petals to imitate the female of a species of fly so exactly that the male attempts to mate with it and in so doing pollinates the orchid? Is it pure chance that night-blossoming flowers grow white the better to attract night moths and night-flying butterflies, emitting a stronger fragrance at dusk, or that the carrion lily develops the smell of rotting meat in areas where only flies abound, whereas flowers which rely on the wind to cross-pollinate the species do not waste energy on making themselves beautiful, fragrant or appealing to insects, but remain relatively unattractive? To protect themselves plants develop thorns, a bitter taste, or gummy secretions that catch and kill unfriendly insects. The timorous Mimosa pudica has a mechanism which reacts whenever a beetle or an ant or a worm crawls up its stem toward its delicate leaves: as the intruder touches a spur the stem raises, the leaves fold up, and the assailant is either rolled oflf the branch by the unexpected movement or is obliged to draw back in fright. Some plants, unable to find nitrogen in swampy land, obtain it by devouring living creatures. There are more than five hundred varieties of carnivorous plants, eating any kind of meat from insect to beef, using endlessly cunning mthods to capture their prey, from tentacles to sticky hairs to funnel-like traps. The tentacles of carnivorous plants are not only mouths but stomachs raised on poles with which to seize and eat their prey, to digest both meat and blood, and leave nothing but a skeleton. Insect-devouring sundews pay no attention to pebbles, bits of metal, or other foreign substances placed on their leaves, but are quick to sense the nourishment to be derived from a piece of meat. Darwin found that the sundew can be excited when a piece of thread is laid on it weighing no more than 1/78,000 of a grain. A tendril, which next to the rootlets constitutes the most sensitive portion of a plant, will bend if a piece of silk thread is laid across it weighing but .00025 of a gram. The ingenuity of plants in devising forms of construction far exceeds that of human engineers. Man-made structures cannot match the supply strength of the long hollow tubes that support fantastic weights against terrific storms. A plant’s use of fibers wrapped in spirals is a mechanism of great resistance against tearing not yet developed by human ingenuity. Cells elongate into sausages or flat ribbons locked one to the other to form almost unbreakable cords. As a tree grows upward it scientifically thickens to support the greater weight. The Australian eucalyptus can raise its head on a slim trunk above the ground 480 feet, or as high as the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and certain walnuts can hold a harvest of 100,000 nuts. The Virginia knotweed can tie a sailor’s knot which is put to such a strain when it dries that it snaps, hurling the seeds to germinate as far as possible from mother. Plants are even sentient to orientation and to the future. Frontiersmen and hunters in the prairies of the Mississippi Valley discovered a sunflower plant, Silphium laciniatum, whose leaves accurately indicate the points of the compass. Indian licorice, or Arbrus precatorius, is so keenly sensitive to all forms of electrical and magnetic influences it is used as a weather plant. Botanists who first experimented with it in London’s Kew Gardens found in it a means for predicting cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. So accurate are alpine flowers about the seasons, they know when spring is coming and bore their way up through lingering snowbanks, developing their own heat with which to melt the snow. Plants which react so certainly, so variously, and so promptly to the outer world, must, says France, have some means of communicating with the outer world, somthing comparable or superior to our senses. France insists that plants are constantly observing and recording events and phenomena of which man-trapped in his anthropocentric view of the world, subjectively revealed to him through his five senses-knows nothing. Whereas plants have been almost universally looked upon as senseless automata, they have now been found to be able to distinguish between sounds inaudible to the human ear and color wavelengths such as infrared and ultraviolet invisible to the human eye; they are specially sensitive to The whole vegetal world, says France, lives responsive to the movement of the earth and its satellite moon, to the movement of the other planets of our solar system, and one day will be shown to be affected by the stars and other cosmic bodies in the universe. As the external form of a plant is kept a unit and restored whenever part of it is destroyed, France assumes there must be some conscious entity supervising the entire form, some intelligence directing the plant, either from within, or from without. Over half a century ago France, who believed plants to be possessed of all the attributes of living creatures including “the most violent reaction against abuse and the most ardent gratitude for favors,” could have written a Secret Life of Plants, but what he had already put into print was either ignored by the establishment or considered heretically shocking. What shocked them most was his suggestion that the awareness of plants might originate in a supramaterial world of cosmic beings to which, long before the birth of Christ, the Hindu sages referred as “devas,” and which, as fairies, elves, gnomes, sylphs and a host of other creatures, were a matter of direct vision and experience to clairvoyants among the Celts and other sensitives. The idea was considered by vegetal scientists to be as charmingly jejune as it was hopelessly romantic. It has taken the startling discoveries of several scientific minds in the 1960s to bring the plant world sharply back to the attention of mankind. Even so there are skeptics who find it hard to believe that plants may at last be the bridesmaids at a marriage of physics and metaphysics. Evidence now supports the vision of the poet and the philosopher that plants are living, breathing, communicating creatures, endowed with personality and the attributes of soul. It is only we, in our blindness, who have insisted on considering them automata. Most extraordinary, it now appears that plants may be ready, willing, and able to cooperate with humanity in the Herculean job of turning this planet back into a garden from the squalor and corruption of what England’s pioneer ecologist William Cobbett would have called a “wen.” Every Tuesday I IFT May 8th Gemini Lounge 221 Second Avenue a t 14th Street SubtleChaos residents plus special guest this wee k: ONG 9pm till late $3 cover / free with ilto:guestlist at subtlechaosguestlist at subtlechaos Thank you for support!

#1717 correction, and TRP Magazine is now ‘Trip’ Fri, 11 May 2001 16:42:47 From: “sElf Trance Former” also Saturday a.m. Fletcher Mundson Syndrome and Eargear are not booked to play at Elf Nest – so go to the Subtlechaos party and here them Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 4:29 PM To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; TRP Magazine is now ‘Trip’ The following post contains current news about Trip Magazine, and should be forwarded to all parties of interest. If you do not wish to receive such posts in the future please respond to this mail with the word “remove” in the subject line. All remove requests will be honored immediately. Please excuse any duplicate postings. IN THIS ISSUE: 1. TRP Magazine Relaunches as ‘Trip’ 2. Where’s my Magazine? 3. E Posters Available Now! 4. MUSIC: Resonant Radio and or New Downtempo Compilation 5. Trip at Entheobotany II and Mind States 2 6. We need your support! 1. TRP Magazine Relaunches as ‘Trip’! Yes, everything evolves, even our little underground ‘zine. After five glorious issues as ‘TRP: The Resonance Project’, TRP has been reborn as ‘Trip’, a sleeker and more user-friendly version of the same outstanding periodical. The reason for these changes are not arbitrary or irrational, and if you must know exactly why we decided to change the name you can read all about it here: web tripzine/articles.asp?iddowney As you read this article you may notice that we have also updated our website, and although web resproject will still get you there, our new official URL is web tripzine. Please make a note of it, for you will surely want to return again and again. The change has been long in coming, we know. We have all been through quite the ordeal over the last year with many false starts, impending mergers, failed corporate takeovers, and general lack of direction over what to do, how to preceed, and where to go next. But the dust has finally settled and we are back on track. We thank you for your limiteless patience and understanding, and hope you enjoy our new beginning. 2. Where’s my Magazine? The first issue of the new and improved ‘Trip’ (issue 6) will be released this summer, hopefully by late June or mid July. We have a lot of supremely insane material lined up for our glorious comeback, which you can follow on our website as publication nears. Current subscribers to TRP should rest-assured that their subscription WILL carry over to the new format, and you will not need to resubscribe until your current subscription expires. However, resubscribing NOW is the best way to make sure that you never miss another issue EVER. Plus, it shows you care, which we appreciate more than you could ever know. And if you have not subscribed, please do. We cannot continue to exist without a growing subscriber base, so now you know. Also, at this point the magazine will continue to be published roughly once or twice a year. The quarterly thing just will not work (as you may have noticed), but to offset the horrible burden of being without a new issue of your favorite magazine for such a long time, we have redoubled our efforts to funnel new content to our readers through our website. There will be monthly updates at tripzine featuring NEW AND ORIGINAL CONTENT for you, our readers, to enjoy. And if you are hesitant because you think a year is too long to wait between issues, then just think how you would feel if there were NO MORE ISSUES EVER. I hope that puts things into perspective. It is really all about you, the subscriber. You are the one that keeps us in business. And if for some reason you are missing an issue in your subscription, or you recently subscribed or ordered an issue and it never came, please LET US KNOW. Our record keeping has become a little jumbled during the long transition so please bear with us as we sort through orders or questions that have fallen through the cracks. We do not want anyone to feel cheated or left out, so please bug us (over and over if you have to) if there is a problem. We will fix it. 3. E Posters Available Now! That’s right, the classic E spoof ad first seen on the back cover of TRP 5 is now available in poster form! So many of you asked if there was a poster available that we just had to print one, and now it is ready. This poster is big and beautiful, printed on high-quality poster stock with a protective varnish to preserve it from fading and wear. It is an amazing bargain at only $10.00, and it will be a collectors item that you can cherish and share with loved ones for years to come. All profits from sales of this poster go directly to supporting the continued publication of Trip and regular updates at tripzine, so order one today and be proud that you are doing somthing good for humanity at large. 4. MUSIC: Resonant Radio and our New Downtempo Compilation In case you haven’t noticed by now, Trip has it’s own streaming audio station available at multiple bandwidths for internet connection speeds of all types. Resonant Radio is hosted by SLAM Media, and you can access the stream from web tripzine or by going directly to SLAM at web slam.cc to sample the best in alternative streaming audio available on the internet today. Also, we are proud to announce the release of our first CD compilation entitled “Resonant Frequencies: The Downtempo Collection”, now available at tripzine. This is a seamless mix of amazing underground music from 18 different artists from around the world, and is guranteed to put you in a variety of alternate headspaces. You have to trust us on this one, you won’t be disappointed with this collection of music. Again, all proceeds go to our continued growth, and your support is greatly appreciated. 5. Trip at Entheobotany II and Mind States 2 There are some interesting events coming up and Trip will be there. We will be at Entheobotany II (entheobotany/vancouver/) in Whistler, British Columbia, this weekend (May 11th – 13th), and also at Mind States 2 (web erowid.org/mindstates/) in Berkeley from May 25th to the 27th. If you are planning to be at either event you should come by and give us a piece of your mind! We will be doing video and audio interviews with guests and attendees at both shows about the issues they feel are important within the community, so now you too can make your voice heard! If we get anything good you’ll be sure to catch it at tripzine, so stay tuned. 6. We need your support! Yes, you should know by now, we need your help.

#1719 Eight psy-trance parties this weekend – WOW Fri, 11 May 2001 17:56:47 From: “sElf Trance Former” If you count Thursday. I think we passed a milestone. And now some spam for you Burning Man people: Dear promoters, networkers and all family circles, We are trying to get the following petition out to as many people as possible..Please read the following info and send to your email lists ASAP… We thank you for your support.. D.A.N.C.E (The Dedicated Alliance of the Night-time CommunityExperience.) ***************** Dear Fellow Burning Man supporters… The Burning Man Celebration of 2000, unfortunatly did not include the annual Community Dance and this petition urges your response if you share the loss of this collective celebration . PETITION DRIVE We, the devoted participants and supporters of Burning Man Festival of ART, who currently participate in the annual week-long celebration, would like to request the return of the Community Dance at Burning Man on Saturday night September 1st, 2001. This petition represents an impassioned appeal from devout citizens who embody the daily existence of Black Rock City and Burning Man. After the Burning of the Man celebration came to its conclusion on Saturday night of last year, the fantastic levels of energy that had uplifted us seemed to have dissipated and nearly disappeared. In essence, we felt a vast letdown of energy after the fabulous pageantry of the Burn. We are aware that many Burners are quite content to melt into the evening and enjoy Burning Man’s eclectic array of Saturday night’s festivities. However, as loyal participants and faithful citizens of Burning Man, we maintain that there are many of us who would love to celebrate and dance together as one with the playa to the most inspired music and visuals ourcommunity hasto offer. To this end, we support this petition drive for the return of the Community Dance after the Saturday night Burn of 2001. The Community Dance will creatively reflect and celebrate the Burning Man theme for 2001, “The Seven Ages of Man” through dance, theatrical pageantry and tribal connectivity. By signing this petition I endorse our communities desire to reinstate this activity as a supported event in the Burning Man2001 Festivities. Please add you name to the list and cut and paste this petition and resend it to your email list ASAP. If you are the 50th person on the list please send the completed list to communitydance at yahoo. We will make an offical presentation to the Burning Man Committee with all of the signatures by June 10th. 1. Chris Deckker 2. Angela Snow 3. Alex Newman 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50.

#1721 11 May 2001 22:02:01 – Entheogen Conference (3 days) Entheogen Conference (3 days) Friday, May 18, 2001 Time: 6:00PM The Prophets Conference New York City: Techniques of Discovery May 18-20, 2001 Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Synod Hall Bringing together… Huston Smith, Stanislav Grof, Ralph Metzner, Gregg Braden, Gabrielle Roth, Riane Eisler, Michio Kaku, John Mack, Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Robert Anton Wilson, Ram Dass, and Russell Targ. The Prophets Conference brings together today’s most remarkable teachers and authors to explore and bridge science and spirituality. Our thematic variation for this New York City gathering is Techniques of Discovery – an investigation of the powerful and profound pre-existent place of deep transcendent and transformative commonality found through shamanic practices, spiritual paths, entheogens, religious trance, out-of-body experiences and other revolutionary and revelatory tools. We will be looking at expanded states of consciousness and the uncommon knowledge and heightened awareness often obtained from them, and then look at the magnitude of the implications fostered by acknowledging them as true Gnosis. We will then explore their relevance to every area of life. The conference will also envision a deeper sense of Destiny at what appears to be a critical juncture in history, and assess avenues for imagining and reconfiguring Reality.

#1725 History Mon, 14 May 2001 16:03:24 From: UNIT FOUR SUMMARY A History of d Use, Abuse and Addiciton HALLUCINOGENS (Including Marijuana) By Richard S. Waguespack, B.Th., LMSW-ACP Cannabis The earliest record of man’s use of cannabis comes from the island of Taiwan located off the coast of mainland China. Hemp weaving as an industry began 10,000 years ago. Scattered among the trash and debris from this prehistoric community were some broken pieces of pottery the sides of which had been decorated by pressing strips of cord into the wet clay before it hardened. Also dispersed among the pottery fragments were some elongated rod-shaped tools, very similar in appearance to those later used to loosen cannabis fibers from their stems.[1] These simple pots, with their patterns of twisted fiber embedded in their sides, suggest that men have been using the marijuana plant in some manner since the dawn of history (Abel). As time went one, hemp was considered a viable fiber for a variety of uses. Some claim that it was also used as food as early as 4000 BC and that by 2727 BC it was recorded as being used for medicine in China. One source reported that as part of early Jews holy Friday night services in the Temple of Solomon, 60,000 to 80,000 men ritually passed around and inhaled 20,000 incense burners filled with kanabosom (cannabis), before returning home for a very large meal. By 1200 to 800 BC, Cannabis is mentioned in the Hindu sacred text Atharvaveda (Science of Charms) as “Sacred Grass”, one of the five sacred plants of India. Other records show: it being used medicinally and ritually as an offering to Shiva, being used by Zoroastrian Persians between 700 BC – 300 BC and by 500 BC by Scythian tribes for burial rituals. Hemp is to said to have been mentioned in the works of Herodotus as both a ritualistic and recreational substance. Dioscorides refers to the use of cannabis as a Roman medicament. Hemp was probably introduced into Northern Europe by the Scythian’s. An um containing leaves and seeds of the Cannabis plant, unearthed near Berlin, is dated from 500 – 100 BC. (Erowid). There does not seem to be much evidence of the use of Cannibis in Europe between the fall of the Roman empire to the time that Napolean’s troops returned from Egypt with quantities of the substance. However, it is presumed to have been used by a few European groups during this period. In 13th century Persia, Hasanibn al-Sabbah, the “Old Man of the Mountain” created legends related to hemp (hashish) by recruiting assassins (followers) who used hashish men who were commissioned to commit assasinations. In this same century, Cannabis is introduced in Egypt. The Inquisition outlawed cannabis ingestion in Spain in the 12th Century, and France in the 13th. In the 16th century, German physician, Hohannus Weier mentioned use of hashish by groups of witches. Spanish and other European colonists planted hemp in the Americas and other places to provide sails, rope, oakum, clothes, etc. Thomas Jefferson among other founding fathers planted hemp. Most historians believe that its use in early American history was largely limited to the production of these items. In 1798, Napolean found that the Egypt he temporarily conquered held a lower class habitually. Realizing that this was a problematic d, he issued laws against its use. French administrators totally failed to control the production and sale of cannabis preparations. In response to the ban on sales, Greek smugglers immediately began a lucrative underground business importing hashish into Egypt. In 1842: English physician W.B. O’Shaughnessy became the first to introduce ganja, potent Indian hemp, to England in his Bengal Pharmacopeia. In 1845 JJ Moreau de Tours wrote “Hashish and Mental Illness” which sparked an interest in similiar articles and set off a wave of experimentation. The use of marijuana for recreational use became fashionable, especially amongst the French users. Well known is the 1848 Uprising in Paris where Students carried banners through the streets demanding free availability of cannabis and ether. Abraham Lincoln was an avowed enemy of prohibition. His wife was prescribed cannabis for her nerves after his assassination. One source claimed that virtually every president from the mid-19th Century until prohibition routinely used cannabis medicines (Erowid). Cannabis was neither stigmatized nor popularized in the US until the early 1930s. Harry Anslinger, US Commissioner of Narcotics created public hysteria regarding cannabis. Critics say he appears to have acted largely for American chemical and petrochemical companies interested in eliminating hemp as a competitor in the areas of lubricants, food, plastic and fiber. MYTH and Hallucinogens (Peyote, l) Huxley’s 1954 book, Brave New World, like Elvis’s first record and Brown vs. Board of Education, presaged the events of the tumultuous 1960’s. By 1964, Elvis had given way to the Beatles, and Brown vs. Board gave way to the Civil Rights Act. By ’66, the Doors of Perception gave rise to the Doors, and the Dionysian aesthetic found its archetypal representative in the rebellious son (Jim Morrison of the Doors) of the youngest Admiral ever appointed in the United States Navy (Pruett). TUNE IN, DROP OUT “No where is this more evident than in the 1960’s, which, by no coincidence, is the critical decade in the bursting forth of the Dionysian aesthetic. Accentuated by an unpopular foreign war (Vietnam), this hostility found its philosophic outlook in the hippie movement and in the ideological leadership of popular figures such as Timothy Leary, Jerry Rubin, and Abbie Hoffman. The essential Dionysian tendency of these leaders each may be recalled in the epigrams most closely associated with their names. Leary, Tune in, drop out, which became a national mantra for the counterculture millions. Rubin, whose book title, Do It, 25 years later found its way into the most prolific and innovative advertising campaigns in history, Nike sport shoes, Just Do It. Hoffman, perhaps less significant, is remembered for his short agitprop, Steal This Book” (Pruett). MOJO RISIN “Jim Morrison came of age in America at a time of profound change and disturbance. The chaos and confusion of the coming generation was captured first on celluloid in the dissonance, stammer, dark energy and sulking good looks of its new matinee idols, Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and James Dean. Yet for however transcendental and familiar these new hero’s of the stage were to the growing new youth culture, it was in literature that the bookish young Morrison looked for direction” (Pruett). “Morrison’s first role model gleaned from literature was taken from Keruac’s seminal beatnik novel, On the Road. In the amphetimened energy of the wild, impulsive, Dionysian figure of Dean Moriaty, Morrison recognized his idealized self. Moriaty, based on the real life persona of Keruac sidekick Neal Cassidy, was described by Keruac as a “mad one, [one of] the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time…” (Pruett). “Morrison adapted himself to Moriaty, right down to his “hee-hee laugh.” [M p 12] In time Kerauc’s description of Moriaty seemed to cling to Morrison himself. In many ways, they were the same: wild, intoxicated on life and booze, marijuana and amphetamines, at the same time energetic, sexual, magnetic” (Pruett). “But what separated Morrison from Moriaty was a fine synthesis cultivated from the influence of l, a d Keruac himself was loathe to try, and music, namely rhythm and blues and rock n roll. So while it is literature where Morrison looked for individuals to pattern himself after, it was probably music and l that had the most profound influence on his aesthetic tendencies. Morrison took note that the birth of rock n roll coincided with his adolescence and, in what he described, as his coming into awareness. “It was a real turn on, although at the time I could never allow myself to rationally fantasize about ever doing it myself. I guess all that time I was subconsciously accumulation inclination and nerve. My subconscious had prepared the whole thing. I didn’t even think about it” [M p.59]” (Pruett). “And if genesis of rock music affected Morrison’s sensibilities without him consciously being aware of it, l, which was still legal and the rage of California in ’64 and ’65, affected him in other ways. Reputed to have ingested it some 250 times, Morrison took l in the spirit of his poet hero, the late 19th century French symbolist poet, Arthur Rimbaud. For Rimbaud poetry was a means of discovering the unknown. By breaking down the barriers of logical and intellectual control, Rimbaud believed that he would become a sensitive instrument that could receive impressions from the beyond. [ST p. 16] More to the point, Rimbaud advocated, in what for Morrison became a lifelong dictum, “the reasoned derangement of the senses” (Pruett). “Morrison was truly fascinated with the alteration of his nervous system through chemicals. Like the title to one of their hit songs, Break On Through to the Other Side, Morrison was interested in what went on behind the reality of appearances; he was interested in the ecstatic, intoxicated states of self oblivion characteristic of Nietzsche’s Dionysian aesthetic. Morrison was bent on experiencing what has been called the ecstatic dissolution of personal consciousness into the primal void. This primal void, Morrison and others, including Rimbaud, referred to as the Universal Mind; and it is this Universal Mind that they often cite as the source of their creativity, further supporting Nietzsche’s conception as the Dionysian as the source or the formula, and the Apollonian as that which gives form” (Pruett). “At this point we may go not proceed without first mentioning Nietzsche’s definitive impact on Morrison. Morrison had in fact been heavily influenced by Nietzsche as early as high school, when he began reading Genealogy On the of Morals and Beyond Good and Evil. But, as a matter of course, it would be Nietzsche’s first book, The Birthof Tragedy, that would cast the most decisive impression. Morrison came upon this book at a critical moment in his life, while at UCLA film school in Los Angeles, where he would soon meet the other members of his band. Quite naturally, Morrison identified with Nietzsche’s idealized Dionysus” (Pruett). “In the Dionysian state, where Nietzsche asserts that excess revealed a truth, we find a conspicuous beginning presaged in the words of Blake. “The road of excess,” he said, “leads to the palace of wisdom.” In the life of Jim Morrison, like Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Dylan Thomas before him, and in his contemporaries, Hendrix, Bruce, and Joplin, came a living exemplar of Blake’s aphorism and Nietzsche’s description. Morrison, along with Hendrix and Joplin, formed a kind of Dionysian holy trinity where all three had to sacrifice themselves and die. The fact that they all three died at the age of 27 remains one of rock history’s strange coincidences” (Pruett). “And yet there are more meaningful connections. In Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugarman’s best-selling book, No One Gets Out of Here Alive, the influence of Nietzsche, Blake, and Huxley, is recounted in a sort of stream of consciousness conversation. It was in fact through a sort of free association of the three that gave rise to the groups name, The Doors” (Pruett). “Morrison, then, fits into a pattern prefigured in the life, spirit, and critical philosophy of Frederich Nietzsche. Building upon the phenomenal breakthrough of music sensations, Elvis Presley and the Beatles, Morrison began his meteoric rise during a brief period in American history that completely altered the predominant sensibilities of a culture that had remained constant from at least the 15th century. The Dionysian aesthetic profoundly altered our affective relation to space. Through the ecstatic revelry of rock music, narcotics, and hallucinogenic ds, space and time became, as it did for Huxley relatively meaningless. Also affected was the Christian imperative of self-restraint, rooted, no doubt, in the over indulgence of late antiquity. The Dionysian state, remember, is characterized by the incapacity not to react” (Pruett). “Jim Morrison and the Doors broke through Apollonian consciousness as none other. At times their concerts were said to produce the effect of mystical Oneness. Through music now seems to flow a supernatural power. In accordance with this feeling, rock stars are treated as demi-gods. Through affiliation with various bands, young adults, as Nietzsche anticipated in his Birth of Tradgedy, express themselves as members of some higher community. As the original “underground” band, Jim Morrison and the Doors may have best embodied this sense of a collective higher community joined through music. Morrison was a kind of atavistic medicine man tearing through the last shreds of the old reality. The West would never again be quite the same” (Pruett). “Morrison and the Doors, like Neil Armstrong and the Apollo moon mission, peaked in 1969, the year, in fact, when the Doors were at the top of the charts and referred to as the American Beatles. Morrison, then, peaking in ’69 and dead by ’71 just a year ahead of the last American moon mission, may be seen, for the purposes of contrast and comparison as the purest expression, emblem and symbol of the emerging Dionysian spirit in contest with Apollo, at its steepest, most decisive, critical phase” (Pruett). “In the wake of the collective force rock music and ds, the veil of Maya that long separated the East and West has been torn asunder. Western man now sinks back to the oneness of nature. His affinity toward animals and the earth is expressed again in various ecological and animal rights movements. As this occurs, the dynamics of music, rhythm, and harmony assert themselves with great energy. In time the spoken word and coordination of the limbs begin to bend to the power of rhythm. Two decades after the death of Jim Morrison, the explosion of rap music in first the American and then world music scene must be seen as the natural progression of the Dionysian aesthetic that first burst forth in the consciousness of Nietzsche” (Pruett). (See Also The Indian Experience As Related to Music and Dionysian Type Themes) Hallucinogens: Contemporary Concerns “Cannabis smoking is associated with an increased risk of developing acute or chronic psychiatric symptoms. A sixfold increase in incidence of schizophrenia has been reported in a long term follow up study of 55,000” (Nahas and Gleaton). Research by Italian researchers discovered that when eight men smoked a cigarette containing the active ingredient in marijuana, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), they had dramatically higher melatonin levels twenty minutes later. After two hours, their melatonin levels were 4,000 percent higher than at baseline!(11). Other research showing that melatonin is converted on a 25 hour cycle to seratonin and then back to melatonin is a clear indicator that those who smoke marijuana regularly are attempting to self medicate (i.e. perpetual prozac but without the same capacity to block the reuptake of seratonin thus more problems associated with the use of THC.). The fact that smoking marijuana is accompanied by a dramatic increase in melatonin production may explain some of the d’s positive effects. A 1995 article in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the hallucinogen is being used to counteract the toxicity of chemotherapy, treat migraines, reduce intraocular pressure, minimize pain, treat menstrual cramps, and moderate wasting syndrome in AIDS patients. Melatonin has been shown to ameliorate each and every one of these conditions (Reiter & Robinson). Smoking marijuana as a vehicle to increase melatonin production, however, may not be a good idea. The increase is so marked that it is not likely to be beneficial, especially if one smokes marijuana during the daytime, when melatonin levels are normally so low that they are just above the level of detection. Causing such a dramatic surge in melatonin levels in the daytime could phase-shift your circadian rhythms or interfere with your health in other as yet unknown ways ((Reiter & Robinson).

#1733 Kocations from our Cuban friend Thu, 17 May 2001 15:50:04 From: “sElf Trance Former” Than you, this will be great. Hey, if there was a stabbing, we have to create some sort of security system for ourselves. I suggest volunteers to just keep an eye on everybody and to protect the equipment. Also, people should travel in at least twos or threes for safety. Lastly, I have a van, lets scout some awesome locations, here is a copy of a letter I sent, um, someone, you can pass it along if ya like; I know of a few awesome spots in queens if people are interested. One place is in College point near the whitestone bridge. Have you ever thrown a beach party like at rockaway or somewhere out on the island? I see you guys can travel. There are lots of state parks really close too. Forest Park in queens is awesome, there is a bandshell that is way cool, talk about getting lost in the woods, this place is HUGE!. Juniper Valley park is cool, Flushing park is also interesting, though some places are better than others. Kissena park ir really beautiful around now, an amazing variety of trees and a great maze like area that you can get lost in. there is a small park in Astoria or LIC, im not too sure, but it is filled with the most rocking sculptures and art of all kinds and they rotate the displays always. Another park in College Point/Flushing looks north and west towards Laguardia, rikers and Manhattan. I also know of a handful of spots that are unused/disused and just dead empty space. Lots of places on the north shore of queens. I wonder about Roosevelt Island. Randalls Wards island has a foot bridge that connects the upper 90’s in Manhattan to the island and a huge park thats under the triboro bridge. Carl Schurz park in the 80’s on the east side of manhattan is great, and its where Adolf Guiliani lives, boy could we piss him off! I am just giving ya my ideas, do with em as you will

The Prophets Conference brings together today’s most remarkable teachers and authors to explore and bridge science and spirituality. Our thematic variation for this New York City gathering is Techniques of Discovery – an investigation of the powerful and profound pre-existent place of deep transcendent and transformative commonality found through shamanic practices, spiritual paths, entheogens, religious trance, out-of-body experiences and other revolutionary and revelatory tools. We will be looking at expanded states of consciousness and the uncommon knowledge and heightened awareness often obtained from them, and then look at the magnitude of the implications fostered by acknowledging them as true Gnosis. We will then explore their relevance to every area of life. The conference will also envision a deeper sense of Destiny at what appears to be a critical juncture in history, and assess avenues for imagining and reconfiguring Reality.

#1736 Cc: btswatchUSA Today May 16 Fri, 18 May 2001 14:04:06 From: “sElf Trance Former” Read on for local NYC mention – after the first couple times of the initial rush – which is never recaptured, why do people continue? Because they think it’s safe… Ecstasy d trade turns violent By Donna Leinwand, USA TODAY Ecstasy, the “peace and love” d of the rave party culture, is igniting violent turf wars among d dealers that authorities say resemble the battles over crack cocaine that devastated urban areas in the 1980s. But with Ecstasy there is a big difference: Its primary buyers and many of its low-level dealers are teenagers and college kids from middle- and upper-income families, rather than impoverished addicts. As a result, America’s suburbs are being hit with Ecstasy-related drive-by shootings, executions and assaults as violent international crime groups stake claims to the Ecstasy market. The gangs are lured by the d’s enormous profit potential. A single Ecstasy pill that costs less than $1 to make can be sold for up to $30. Read more Graphic How Ecstasy releases serotonin Video USA TODAY’S Ginger Gadsden discusses the d To reach Ecstasy’s typical customers, authorities say, d rings are recruiting middle-class suburban kids to peddle the pills. These dealers move easily among young ravers, many of whom consider the burst of energy and warm-all-over high they get from Ecstasy to be the perfect complement to all-night dancing and the raver mantra “PLUR,” an acronym for peace, love, unity and respect. But there’s nothing warm and fuzzy about the increasingly dangerous business of Ecstasy. In a marketplace dominated more and more by competing organized crime groups, inexperienced suburban dealers often find themselves in over their heads, police say. Russian and Israeli crime groups are the biggest players in the Ecstasy trade; Colombian and Dominican groups are gaining ground. “There are great amounts of kids who have become d dealers, kids who have never before been involved in any type of dealing,” Miami police Detective Eladio Paez says. “It’s an easy market to get into. It’s when they are competing with real d dealers that they get into trouble. The lucky ones just get beat up and their pills taken.” Danny Petrole, 21, wasn’t so lucky. Petrole, a college student and part-time floral deliveryman, was gunned down in March near his town house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Prince William County, Va., about 25 miles south of Washington, D.C. Police investigating the slaying discovered a Danny Petrole his family never knew. There was almost $18,000 in the trunk of his Honda. In the three-story town house he had just purchased with his family’s help, police seized a shotgun, more than $100,000 in cash, 60 pounds of marijuana worth $200,000 and 4,000 Ecstasy pills worth about $100,000. The suspect in the slaying, Owen Merton Barber IV, 21, of Chantilly, Va., grew up in Prince William and attended a county high school. County police believe Barber was a rival d dealer. Authorities say the incident was typical of the violence they are seeing linked with Ecstasy. “The level of violence with Ecstasy hasn’t come to the same level of other ds, but I think that Ecstasy is in its infancy stage still,” says Roger Aarons, manager of the U.S. Customs Ecstasy Task Force. “As more dealers get involved, violence is going to increase. It’s just the nature of the d game.” Few law enforcement agencies keep statistics on Ecstasy-related violence, but officials across the nation point to recent incidents that they say highlight the rise in such crimes: In Cook County, Ill., sheriff’s deputies investigating the execution of a 16-year-old boy arrested two members of a suburban youth gang. A farm worker found the body of Vu Hoang, a high school junior, near a barn outside Elgin, 38 miles northwest of Chicago. He had a single gunshot wound in his head. Police said the gang members had questioned Hoang about missing Ecstasy pills worth $10,000 because they thought he might know the thief. The suspects were charged with murder. In March, police in Nassau County, N.Y., charged Mark Petronio, 36, of Valley Stream, a New York City suburb, with murdering a 23-year-old Ecstasy dealer from Mineola, another New York suburb. Police say that Petronio, thinking the dealer had shortchanged him, stomped him to death. In June, d Enforcement Administration and U.S. Customs agents in New York dismantled a gang that traveled from rave to rave, shaking down suburban kids who were high on Ecstasy. The gang, which called itself the Brooklyn Terror Squad or BTS, “terrorized rave parties throughout the Eastern seaboard and in Florida,” says Linda Lacewell, an assistant U.S. attorney in New York. The gang beat up and robbed ravers, stole their ds and then resold them at the same parties, she says. Ten gang members have pleaded guilty to various d charges and are awaiting sentencing. ‘Like taking candy from a baby’ “When these people (high on Ecstasy) are in these raves, they are basically unconscious,” says Felix Jimenez, special agent in charge of New York’s DEA office. “It’s like taking candy from a baby.” Zoned-out ravers “are easy targets,” Paez says. “They think nothing bad is going to happen. Those people who want to go out there and take advantage of these people have an open market. They can pick and choose their victims.” The U.S. government in 1985 classified Ecstasy, also known as E (for its scientific name, mthylenedioxy-mthamphetamine), as a Schedule 1 illicit d with no medical benefit. Most of the pills are manufactured in illegal d labs in northern Europe and smuggled into the USA. The tiny pills are stamped with cartoon characters, peace symbols and brand names and logos meant to entice young users. Recent studies have shown that Ecstasy can harm brain mechanisms that control sleep, sexual function, memory, appetite and mood. Federal officials still devote far more time to tracking cocaine and heroin, but they have dramatically stepped up their efforts to stop the Ecstasy trade. In 1995, agents from Customs and the DEA seized a few hundred thousand pills of Ecstasy. Last year, the agencies confiscated more than 11 million pills. Meanwhile, rising concern over Ecstasy has led Congress to beef up penalties for trafficking in Ecstasy. The new guidelines, which became mandatory in federal courts on May 1, triple the potential jail terms for people caught with 800 or more pills. Previously, an Ecstasy dealer caught with 800 pills (typically worth about $20,000) could have been sentenced to nearly two years in federal prison. Now, that dealer would have to serve at least five years and three months, if convicted. For 8,000 pills or more, a convicted dealer would be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. Crime analysts expect the violence associated with Ecstasy to play out differently than the inner-city crack wars, in part because the d’s effect on users is different, says Donald Vereen, deputy director of the White House Office of National d Control Policy. Crack often makes users violeEcstasy makes users hyperactive but non-violent and affectionate. Crack grew popular among poor people who often stole to feed their habits. Ecstasy users are more likely to have the financial resources to maintain their habits without resorting to crime, health analysts say. Crack also is highly addictive. Scientists aren’t sure whether Ecstasy users become physically addicted to the d, but they do know that regular users must increase their doses to continue to get high. “Ecstasy users are mostly college-age students,” says Lt. Bruce Adams of the New Orleans Police Department’s narcotics section, which is trying to shutter the city’s rave clubs. “Quite a number of them have the money to finance their habits, so you don’t see them committing crimes to pay for it. With other ds, we have users trying to rob dealers and getting hurt for it.” But the networks that smuggle, distribute and sell Ecstasy often are the same cartels that have moved crack or heroin, officials say. Cartels aren’t loyal to any one d, says Aarons of U.S. Customs. “They’re not in it because they like cocaine or heroin,” he says. “They like money.” Transporting Ecstasy pills is easier and less expensive than moving unwieldy bales of marijuana or bags of cocaine, Customs agents say. d couriers mail the pills or hide them on their person and in suitcases. One alleged cocaine distributor became one of the primary Ecstasy dealers in the Northeast, officials say. U.S. Customs agents say Frank Furino, 34, of Quogue, N.Y., switched from marijuana and cocaine once he developed a more profitable Ecstasy-smuggling route from Amsterdam, Netherlands. When police raided Furino’s $650,000 home in July, they seized 20 guns. Furino, charged with d conspiracy and participating in a continuing criminal enterprise, is awaiting trial. “There’s going to be organized crime where there is lots of money to be made,” Vereen says. “The violence usually is related to how intense the competition is.” He predicts that, as was the case with crack, d rings that deal Ecstasy will battle for turf until sharp lines are drawn around distribution territories. Meanwhile, ravers say their party scene is getting rougher, largely because of the crowd chasing the money Ecstasy can generate. One raver who calls herself BaBy JeSsIkA87 posted this plea on Ravernews Dreambook, an Internet message board: “The scene in NYC is startin to get type corrupted! All these crews and gangs … out to ruin the party.” Ecstasy’s silent invasion Prince William County, a rapidly growing suburb of Washington, has no rave scene and not much of a club scene. Ecstasy crept in quietly but spread quickly. In 1999, Prince William police worked fewer than two dozen Ecstasy cases. In 2000, they handled 122. None involved Danny Petrole. Police didn’t know him. His father, Dan Petrole Sr., is a former criminal investigator for the U.S. Secret Service who now heads the criminal investigations unit for the Department of Veterans Affairs. He says he saw nothing to make him suspect his son was involved with ds. Danny Petrole’s parents discouraged him from buying the town house; they thought the financial burden would be too much. But Petrole went ahead anyway, telling them he could handle it. “Danny was always an entrepreneurial kid,” his father says now, recalling that his son was a day-trader in the stock market. “He always said he didn’t want to do a 9-to-5 job. I guess he hid (his d dealing) from his family and he didn’t want to hurt us. I never even heard him mention Ecstasy.” Danny Petrole enjoyed all the advantages of being from a financially secure family. He played on a traveling soccer team in high school and went away to college. When he returned home after his freshman year, he enrolled at a community college. He attended church, had a serious girlfriend and visited often with his parents and younger brothers. Nevertheless, his father seems to understand how Danny could get caught up in ds. “There’s fast money out there. There’s demand,” he says. “As teenagers and young adults, they don’t have the maturity to look past that. As much as I’m saddened by some of the decisions he made, I forgive him. He loved his family dearly.”

#1741 Important notice RE: Atmos etc. Sat, 19 May 2001 15:47:07 From: “sElf Trance Former” I have changed the settings back to where only I can change the calendar. The way I had it before, any brainmachines person could add or edit calendar listings. Well, guess what. I am 100% sure that I had a correct version of the Atmos email – where Atmos was and is indeed coming – and it was changed yesterday to say he wasn’t coming. That, or Yahoo Groups was fu**ed up and did not register my change. Regardless, better safe and sorry.

#1743 Lost wholly rollers getting their roxy off Sun, 20 May 2001 07:55:35 From: “sElf Trance Former” The Atmos party was unbelievable… sometimes it’s good to go home and sleep and eat and human stuff like that. Oh yeah, Go West, young man. If you don’t understand, then this is your conscience telling you that you should stop procrastinating and join u$. As for next week, If you have pictures from Synthetic Sadhus please email them to synthsadhus at earthlink.net We wonder out loud if Twilo’s closing will have a beneficial effect next Friday at the Synthetic Sadhus at Roxy… lost wholly rollers getting their roxy off?

#1744 Cutting down on email Tue, 22 May 2001 17:44:01 From: “sElf Trance Former” In an attempt to reduce email traffic, I will be sending fewer emails with more info. More quality psychedelic trance and less exoerimentation with other genres and fleeting scenes is the New Way here. ATMOS and the d event were awesome, and for the latter, unparalled. Shame on ye who have little faith! There’s a place for the unfaithful consumers, and it’s called TWILO. Oh well, the best revenge on untruth, greed, and decadence is living long and well. -If anybody has Bjork tickets for her Harlem show email xdoodlbugx at aol (the wednesday opium den barteneder) -If anybody has a location for SpiritualBeings on June 8 please email spiritualbeings at hotmail Tuesday Liquids SC at Gemini Lounge Wednesday Opium Den Thursday Neva Friday SYNTHETIC SADHUS and TIP RECORDS welcome you to a full-on psychedelic journey on Friday, May 25, 2001 The new leaders of the Scandinavian sound are coming for the first time to NYC to deliver a rare live performance: LOGIC BOMB (TIP-Spiral Trax-Sweden), TIP Records’ visionary father, Shpongle’s guru, incandescent source of inspiration, the enlightened and enlightening Raja is back to guide us to infinity: RAJA RAM (TIP-Twisted-Shpongle-UK), Founding pioneer of Cosmophilia, one of the world’s largest trance music distributor, eclectic producer of Hadshot Recordings.

Wed, 23 May 2001 00:24:35 From: “sElf Trance Former” (details deleted and delaudid) i want to thank Everyone who had the faith and courage and trust to come and participate in what was far and away the best d event, yet. All the people who made offerings to the free area at the center at the Tree of Life All the people who joined hands to celebrate the Power of Life and then spiralled clockwise into an “ommmmmmm” Rocky for the mind blowing visuals interlaced from Morocco, past d events, etc etc all edited state of the art Lori & Boris for the lighting and the food Noel, Orla, Kate, and Noel for the Beltainne ritual Mark for scouting and booking and order keeping Susannah for the flowers and druid wear Mathias for the chai and power expertise Mike and ben for driving Ranka DJs Ranka for the turntables, FX Mike for the mixer and Steve-O for the groove Live PA Deeper in Zen – guitar, drums, synth, they had practiced so much they didn’t break a sweat Ben for the VRT Kamal for the blinking traffic light Stefan for the snacks Orla for the candles The standby and helpful police and medical crews who watched over us The outsiders who came and joined our group So the bar has risen! Quality before Quantity, that is the secret alchemical formula. That space can’t hold a huge system, not can it hold more than 200 people. So we must build inwards as well as outwards. We really don’t need more people, just keep bringing your friends and we’ll always be good. Anonymous exerpt… many details eliminated “Whatta beautimous party!!!!!!! This my 1st party and we were there from beginning to end and we had so much fun and met so many nice people! (even met some local boys who joined in the hand-holding during the ceremony-a little skeptical, but curious and rather game!) … Itwas nice to work with other professionals-Rocky, you da man! Anybody who missed him ….well, DON’T next time! And you DJ’S kicked a**! Jeff looked like the Horned Celtic God “Cerrunnos” on the Cauldron of the Dagda, Yeowww! I’m still impressed w/ how everybody pitched in and contributed some effort- it ran smooth. It’s nice to know the ‘flying saucer people’ can throw a really great ‘alien sex party’! See y’all at SS on Fri!”

#1753 Cc: “Thed. Com” god at heaven.org, waywardprogtrancepeople at twiloThe most important email I’ve sent this year, please take a minute and read Fri, 25 May 2001 15:12:33 From: Everyone must come to Synthetic Sadhus at the Roxy tomorrow. It is vital that we make a good showing. If you value authenticity, if you have ever enjoyed sustenance from Gilles and Kris’ amazing amazura marc ballroom Roxy epoxy mind meld, then come MAKE IT HAPPEN. Even if you weren’t planning on attending, come anyway – tomorrow night is a make or break inflection point in our future as happy trance people. Bring friends – Roxy is close, intimate, and has an amazing sound system. Eighteen and up. Courteous security (one of them is getting a tattoo from a mural from the party two months ago). Many new surprises. There will be a huge new chai area with a goa flea market and a hookah lounge by the vibesy Wanderlusters. If you want to see Synthetic Sadhus continue at the Roxy, come vote with your feet – and we can all again shape our own reality. The universe is what you make of it, let’s establish our perch, our safe place, our stomping grounds. Without Synthetic we only have Tsunami as a mother ship. John and Yanni are capable captains, however to take over the world we need an armada of cooperation and goodwill. As an added incentive, if you see me at Synthetic and have $15 I will add you right then and there to the d (we have BIG plans this summer that do not involve what has gone before… ) so don’t miss the boat. If you do join the d tomorrow night then you will receive an elf designed fluoro memeviralkarmic bindhi with a spatial message (see attached) and everyone will know that you are a trooper. Also, I’m going to raise the stakes even further. Should the Synthetic party at the Roxy lose its steam and be displaced by a bunch of E-head house zombie DJs, or whatever, I’m throwing in the towel. Brainmachines will change format and I will devote more time with other projects. It’s that important. We are at a crossroads. The media is dogpiling sensationalism, and we could very well dwindle into meandering one-offs on one side, and Tsunami on the other. Options and variety are the spice of life. Gilles and Kris have worked so hard to give us the very best that international talent has to offer, and it’s time to PAY THEM BACK with our love and our appreciation. Know that your presence will save our scene. I love all of you dearly. This is – for better or for worse – my life, and I am way to spoiled to have to watch Kris and Gilles have to relinquish the fruits of their labors. I am not in this for the money, I am in it for the inner Beauty, and I will die before I let inner ugliness and stupidity mar what I hold dear. See you tomorrow? Stand up and be counted. As we all go and show our support we will all rejoice in what we have created. One last thing – I’d like to ask everyone to bring free stuff and give it to everyone you see who is smiling. The person who increases the most smiles will get a million dollars in good karma. Bottom line, if you don’t come tomorrow and John Emmanuel gets hit by a bus, you will be thrown to the elves, and we will pull no punches.

#1757 thank you Sat, 26 May 2001 09:39:35 From: synthetic sadhus was a success. we came, we saw, we conquered, then we got kicked out (well some of us…) see ya’ll the last Friday of every month at the Roxy! also, the d will be hitting the water soon… don’t miss the boat 🙂 …. on other news… woops… web nypost/news/regionalnews/26835.htm LIFE ISN’T A CABARET: TWILO LOSES LICENSE By DAREH GREGORIAN May 25, 2001 It’s Twilo’s last gleaming for the notorious Chelsea nightclub. An appeals court yanked the controversial Club Twilo’s cabaret license yesterday, a move that essentially sounded the death knell for the West 27th Street nightspot. “We’re gratified the Appellate Division unanimously recognized the dangerous activities and environment that existed at Twilo,” said city Corporation Counsel Michael Hess. “This justifies the concerted effort we have made over the last few years to protect young people who were exposed to ds and injury in that club.” The Appellate Division decision reversed an earlier ruling by State Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon, who found the Department of Consumer Affairs’ decision not to renew the cabaret license was “unreasonable.” The five-judge panel, however, found that DCA had very good reasons, including the death last July of a patron who’d overdosed on “ecstasy.” The decision also cited an Oct. 8, 2000 incident, in which two patrons who overdosed were found unconscious in a dark room. A security guard said later that he’d moved them there, the judges said. A Twilo source said the club had been planning to fight the closing, but now might not bother.

#1758 This week Tue, 29 May 2001 13:11:22 From: Tues. Gemini Lounge Wed. Opium Den Thurs. Neva Friday: Tsunami at the World, and: manTRANSforms CONCEIVED AND PRODUCED BY SPUTNIK June 1-2, 2001 Angel Orensanz Foundation Center for the Arts 172 Norfolk Street, New York City inspire. inform. evolve. EXPERIENCE THE IDEAS THAT WILL SHAPE OUR FUTURE. Where are we headed as a culture, as a species? What are the trends that will influence future global business? manTRANSforms is a cultural event that will present the major trends shaping our future. For the first time ever at Angel Orensanz Foundation Center for the Arts, influential artists, scientists, physicists, philosophers, authors, designers and inventors will join together to discuss emerging trends and explain their impact on business and our world. Friday, June 01, 2001 DAY ONE: IMMATERIALITY 08:00 REGISTRATION Each attendee will receive a one-of-a-kind limited edition bag designed by various New York City graffiti artists, a mobile installation project conceived and produced by Alife, a creative collective and exhibition space that operates within a lifestyle store in New York City’s Lower East Side. Contributing artists include: site, jest, elf, espo, kr, stak, skuf, keo, earsnot, lase, sabe, bast and faile. Each of these “biofeedback” bags will be filled with conceptual objects and strategic materials. MOKSHA Avikal Alexander Gebhard As the audience enters the Angel Orensanz Foundation they will experience “Moksha,” a film on the Kumbha Mela, a gathering of one million Yogis on the foothills of the Himalayas. 09:00 WHERE ARE WE HEADED AS A CULTURE, AS A SPECIES? SPUTNIK: Janine Lopiano, Joanne DeLuca and Mary McGuinness 09:20 THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Brian Greene String Theorist, physicist and author of The Elegant Universe During the last thirty years of his life, Albert Einstein passionately sought the so-called unified theory, a theory that could explain the grand sweep of physics from quarks to the cosmos. Although Einstein never found the unified theory, recent work in a field called string theory has taken remarkable strides toward this elusive goal. And on the way, this research has resulted in a dramatic upheaval in our understanding of space and time. In this talk, which presumes no back ground in physics, these developments will be described and visually illustrated with computer animation. 10:15 MEMORY Exclusive digitized interview with RUPERT SHELDRAKE, biologist, Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of “Dogs that Know When Their Owners are Coming Home.” E N E R G I Z E – B R E A K 10:45 FROM CHAOS TO COSMOS: RADICAL ALCHEMY AND THE MUTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS Lorie Eve Dechar M.Ac. Human consciousness is on the verge of a mutation which has the potential to fundamentally shift the way we organize reality. All around us, we see signs of a new, multidimensional consciousness colliding with the limiting, linear structures of our materialistic, egocentric viewpoint. This new consciousness integrates the wisdom of the past with the brilliance of the future. It collapses time and space, merges east and west and blurs rigid distinctions between spirit and matter. Yet, while the new “integral” consciousness is inspiring creativity and facilitating solutions to some of our most complex problems, the destabilizing, chaotic energies which inevitably accompany the processes of transformation are, simultaneously, triggering fear and widespread retreat to familiar yet obsolete systems and behaviors. As a central part of this presentation, we will turn to alchemy, the ancient art and science of transformation, where we discover an alternative attitude towards chaos which will help us midwife the birth of a vigorous and viable future consciousness for our planet. WHAT IF YOU COULD MAGNIFY NATURE AND LISTEN INSIDE? Sputnik MindtrendsT and StreetrendsT compilation featuring exclusive interviews with both established and emerging cultural thinkers 11:30 OUR EYES TELL US IT’S THE INFORMATION AGE. BUT OUR EARS TELL US IT’S THE AGE OF NOISE. Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger How can we transform our city’s soundscapes to hear them as a symphony? O+A inspect the cultural waveform, magnifying certain aspects for discussion. After making sound installations in public spaces in Wien, Salzburg, Berlin, New York City, Philadelphia, Nice, Hanover, Rome, Rotterdam, O+A discuss the cultural transformation implied by the simple statement: “Think with your Ears.” 12:15 N U T R I E N T S- L U N C H 02:00 INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGY. HUMAN DESIGN. Alex “Sandy” Pentland Humans are turning into machines, and machines are growing human. The blending of human and machine is happening at all scales, most obviously as digital technology moves onto and into the human body, and as computers gain emotions and intelligence. The same changes are happening at the smallest scales, where we are beginning to engineer the human machine by modifying the genome, and at the largest scales where human society is increasingly made up of and mediated by digital technology. Unfortunately the rush to create human machine symbiosis is progressing piecemeal, driven by individual improvements in technology and by market opportunities. To create a happier, more productive, and more human world Sandy Pentland addresses these changes as a design problem, asking how human values can be preserved, human expressiveness served, and the joys of life expanded. CAN WE SLIP THROUGH TIME, FORWARD AND BACKWARDS THROUGH TIME?

A better reason to be wired! The first prototype of “Tele-immersion”, the driver application of Internet2, started to work in 2000. It is now possible to get a glimpse of how people will use advanced networks and media in five to ten years. If any one had doubts, we can now be confident that consumers will want much, much better connections than what we have been calling “broadband”. E N E R G I Z E – B R E A K 04:00 EVOLVING VALUES Joe Firmage “What if we were to realize one day soon that humans are charged with evolving a stable civilization spanning many worlds? Joe’s presentation will span the domains of 21st century physics and economics and discuss the new class of electronic media experience that is emerging. 04:30 UTOPIC SPACE Paul Laffoley HOW DO WE NAVIGATE THE INVISIBLE SPECTRA?

Reality is mindless, therefore, meaningless. 2. Carbon-based life is the birth of mindness. 3. Human life is the birth of self-awareness. 4. Self-awareness generates intellection. 5. Carbon-based intellection is now pursuing a silicon-postsilicon-based intellection. 6. The cosmos might be seeded with meaning by post-silicon intellection. 7. A possible, though improbable, resolution is where the cosmos in to has become thought, i.e., self-awareness. 8. A self-knowing cosmos is self-revelation. Nature is now hosting “carbon and silicon.” If post-silicon intellection were to overwhelm carbon intellection, all bets would be off, including the biosphere in its 4-5 eons of history. From (star)dust to (star)dust. This second, a self-knowing dust? For the time being, a modus vivendi is indispensable for concreteness (carbon) and virtuality (silicon) to develop synergistically. Composites of body-brains as we are, the modus vivendi has to have a pie da terre: habitat. Arcosanti wants to be a habitat that in a lean mode offers an alternative to the hyperconsumption habitat now generating a materialistic age of unprecedented gravity. With greed, “abundance,” and hedonism as the base ingredients of what is coming, the virtue of post-silicon virtualities might be found in its ephemeralizing nature, but only if and when the body-brain persona is fully present, not just the brain, not just the body. 10:00 COMMUNICULTURE Future Farmers: Amy Franceschini and Josh On We are social creatures, connected to each other in more ways than can be counted. Many of these connections are invisible to us, obscured by the forest of other connections, purposely hidden by those who benefit, or just unobserved through our daily lives. As many of our relations are monitored by and recorded by technology, designers have the opportunity to reveal and shape some of these connections. New formats of communication and visualization of connections are emerging. It is time to experiment and see what is possible, discover what new forms of democracy and tyranny can come from revealing, shaping, hiding, initiating, and promoting connections between ourselves. E N E R G I Z E – B R E A K 11:00 LANDSCAPE An urban cultural film by Alifecomm:012001 11:05 Paul Miller Paul will be discussing how we as a culture transmit our ideas via various forms highlighting the linkages between the discourse networks of computer culture and the urban context. 12:30-01:30 N U T R I E N T S – L U N C H ECOLOGY OF COMMERCE Sputnik MindtrendsT and StreetrendsT compilation featuring exclusive interviews with both established and emerging cultural thinkers 01:45 VIRIDIAN DESIGN Bruce Sterling IMPERFECT MAN Sputnik MindtrendsT and StreetrendsT compilation featuring exclusive interviews with both established and emerging cultural thinkers 02:30 PROGRESS2 Natasha Vita-More modifications to the human physique. Inside the body, tiny-tech communicytes run messages to and from the senses. Outside the body, culture is considering whether to prevent scientific and technological enhancements.

Using emerging and foreseeable future technologies, we are and we will continue to acclerate the evolution of mind. This talk will cover the technological paths to posthuman cognition and emotion while considering some philosophical and social-cultural issues that arise as we alter our basic mental architecture. While posthumans will vastly exceed humans intellectually and emotionally, we should not expect a utopian future of blissful peace. SPECIATION Sputnik MindtrendsT and StreetrendsT compilation featuring exclusive interviews with both established and emerging cultural thinkers 04:30 THE POSTHUMAN CONDITION Erik Davis Transhuman. Posthuman. Millennial man. Do these terms refer to a real break in the history of “homo sapiens”, or simply the latest buzzing trend? Explaining why he prefers the term “posthuman” to “transhuman”, Davis will sidestep the usual (bio)technological futurism that undergird discussion of humanity’s latest mutation. Instead of this hardware, Davis will emphasize the software the cultural, psychological, and spiritual changes that are carrying us to the lip of what we will become. 05:15 LIFE IS INFORMATION. INFORMATION IS ALIVE John Perry Barlow As we wire up the global MIND, we begin to realize that we are creating an eco-system for thought which has many of the characteristics of carbon based ecology.

#1760 Zambia info Wed, 30 May 2001 16:52:07 From: It’s not too late to go on the internet and get travel and tickets see you in zambia!To All friends, family and supporters of the Solipse, The time is now drawing near when we will all converge in Africa to celebrate one of the most spectacular things that Mother Nature has to show us. It’s only 2 weeks away now, and things are really on a roll… thank you all for all your support over the year. Some people around the globe have really worked hard for the festival, to help bring it to life and everyone has contributed in their own way. The Solipse is a huge communal effort, with every part as important as the next. We have been working very hard on the location and making sure that all the things you need will be there. This is one of the major parts of the production, and so we are putting a lot of energy into it. We have dug extra water wells, full of clean and safe drinking water. And we now have enough water to even provide sprinklers on the dance floor for those afternoon dancing sessions. We have also cleared a massive space for the camping area, and we are making it so that you can walk barefoot around the whole location. Please remember the rule about No Glass Bottles! We have had many people asking us if there will be work on the location. There will of course be things that need doing, there always will be when you are creating a temporary city in the African bush, we will have a stand on the festival where you can come to volunteer to help out with these things. Get creative and get involved !! There is a shuttle bus that will run from the Airport and the Bus station to the location and back. This will run from the 15th June until the 27th June. You do not have to book a place on this bus, just turn up and ride… Other things to remember, camping is included in the price of the ticket, you can get your visa at the border as you enter Zambia and Elvis is not dead. We are very happy to say that some people have won two competitions… First up was DJ magazine in the UK. Dave Aldridge figured out that Zambia has 12 national parks, the currency is called Kwacha, and why you should take your blanket to Solipse. Second was a group of friends from Holland, Rob and Co, who proved with the help of their Dad that killing TVs can be a beautiful experience. The video they sent in will soon be on the Internet. This really made us laugh; we hope you enjoy it too! Since the last mail out (about 24 hours) we have raised US$10,800. This is really amazing, and we want to thank all the people around the world who have given us support and money to help bring the dream to life. We receive so much positive energy that really helps us through with our mission. Many people have also said that they would like to help us with smaller donations, and asked us how they can do this. So we have set up an Internet page where you can make a small donation to help with this… go to web web solipse/donateform.html Anything you can help us with is greatly appreciated by the whole global Solipse family. ! ! ! YES, Our line up is confirmed ! ! ! There have been some changes in the last few months and we thank you for sticking with us while we sorted the whole thing out. Now all the artists’ flights are booked, and we are all set to go. The problems we have had sorting out the line up have been due to a few key reasons. Firstly the fact that the festival is in Zambia has scared some Artists off, especially those that are used to playing only in clubs or in Europe. Secondly, some of the artists wanted larger fees than we were prepared and able to give them, and when you added this to Aeroplane tickets for the musicians and their friends, the sums of money involved were to high, and we could not afford it. Other issues also raised their heads such as clashes with other gigs, and some just had personal issues that they needed to sort out. To compensate for this we have added a few big acts. Dubtrees have been booked to play, and three of the original Orb members (Alex Paterson, Greg Hunter and Youth) will also be there! for a live jam in afternoon after the eclipse with a special guest… For a full list of who is playing please check out the website. web solipse. The Solipse is a Global Family Gathering, and while the music is very important, there is also a lot more to the festival than just Trance and Techno. We want people to come to create their own space, and we truly believe that while we can provide music, entertainment, a place to gather, it is you, the people, that make the festival special. We want you to come to meet old friends and make new ones from all around globe, and enjoy the world you create. But do not worry, those of us organizing the Solipse festival love Trance, so we can assure you that there will definitely be the some of the best trance this side of the Moon! Dj’s such as Anti, Tristan, Mark Allen, Olli Wisdom, Frank E, and bands like GMS, Total Eclipse, Logic Bomb, Zion Train and KoxBox all play the sounds we love to hear the way we love to hear it, and we will never forget that morning time stomp and groove that we all love! There will also be one night and day of only non-trance music. This night! in particular will highlight some of the best alternative beats from Africa and around the world We have recently been informed of an after Solipse party being organized. The organizers contacted us with some information about the party, and it sounds like a nice way to wind down and then up again after the festival. The party will be on an island near the Victoria Falls. The organizers have promised strong Zambian flavours and Acoustic sounds for the party. The location is situated 35 km west of Livingstone, down an 8km bush track through native woodlands. Along the riverbanks either side of the location are collections of small local villages, extremely picturesque and inhabited by the most friendly and welcoming people to all and sundry, who incidentally have given the organizers their full support. The area is extremely rich in wild life, and directly across the river is Zimbabwe where good game viewing can be expected from our makoras (dug out canoes). There will have an army of local guides and paddlers to cater for any guests needs, be it fishing, chilling, bush! walks, makora missions etc etc. The party takes place from 29th June to 1st July, although the organizers say people are welcome to turn up a day or two beforehand to have some African chill time. For more information about this you can e-mail to Tom at junglejunction at zamnet.zm. In the main production office we are at the heart of the event and we can really feel a fantastic energy beginning to rise in all the people all over the world who are starting to make their way to Africa. For those of you who do make it to Africa we can certainly say that this will be an experience that you will never forget and the memories will put a smile on your face when you think about them, for years to come. As one final note we would like to squash some rumours. There is no civil war in Zambia, NO the festival is NOT cancelled, and No, Fish do not fly… So if you hear someone telling you that “I heard….. blah blah blah… “, don’t listen, it’s not true! If you want to know what we are doing look at the website and the message board, everything else is rumours! Not only is the Solipse festival happening in Zambia, IT IS GOING TO TAKE OFF !!!!

#1763 Dangers witnessed by Edison & Freud Wed, 30 May 2001 18:55:53 From: Study: Single Cocaine Dose Triggers Surge in Brian Activity .c The Associated Press (May 30) – A single, small dose of cocaine triggers a week-long surge of activity in the brain that may prime the user for addiction, scientists report. Researchers at the University of California at said exposure to the d accelerates a molecular process that is important to the formation of memories and underlies addiction. Their study appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The UCSF team used slices of brain tissue from mice that were given cocaine. The samples were taken from the ventral tegmental area of the brain. The VTA is rich in dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure that is normally released in small amounts as a biochemical reward to brain cells. It also is associated with the high that cocaine induces and subsequent d cravings that travel neuron pathways throughout the brain. The UCSF team reported that samples from the cocaine-treated mice showed a chain reaction in brain cells that changed the properties of a neuron receptor named AMPA for as long as a week, long after the obvious high is gone. The prolonged AMPA activity triggered the release of dopamine and left the brain primed for more of the same, they said. These pathways typically are used in the formation of memories and learning, but the cocaine hijacks them, they said. ‘What’s so amazing is that all dopamine neurons are affected by this single cocaine exposure,’ said Mark Ungless, the study’s lead author. ‘It would have a profound effect on other areas of the brain, particularly those involved with addiction.’ The researchers said this pathway in the brain might offer one explanation into the biochemistry of how recovering d addicts can relapse easily. And, they speculated, the reaction might also apply to other addictive substances, including nicotine and alcohol.

#1764 Obsessive Compulsives Wed, 30 May 2001 19:02:44 From: Is this how the music keeps sucking us in? New Study Pinpoints Source of Impulsive Behavior By Katherine Hunt Reuters WASHINGTON (May 24) – Trying to choose between a cookie or a carrot at snack time? A newly identified ‘hot spot’ on the brain may be the key to impulsive behavior, involved in the critical choice between instant gratification and delayed reward, researchers said on Thursday. In a study reported in the journal Science, researchers examined the nucleus accumbens, located at the base of the forebrain. The region responds to natural rewards such as food and sex, as well as ds such as amphetamines and cocaine, through their effects on the neurotransmitter chemical dopamine. ‘We have shown that damage or dysfunction of the nucleus accumbens can cause, without a doubt, impulsive choice,’ said study author Rudolf Cardinal, of the Department of Experimental Psychology in Britain’s University of Cambridge. The findings have implications for the treatment and understanding of d addiction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anti-social behavior, all of which are linked to the impulse for instant gratification. The researchers trained rats to choose between a small immediate reward and a larger, delayed reward. In tests after their nucleus accumbens were damaged, the researchers found the rats tended to choose the instant gratification of the small reward, rather than the larger reward delivered after a delay. ‘We already knew that there was a correlation between abnormalities in the nucleus accumbens and impulsive behavior,’ Cardinal said. ‘Now we have clear evidence that such abnormalities can cause this behavior.’ Lesions on two other regions of the brain that send information to the nucleus accumbens, the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, did not cause the rats to act impulsively, the study found. The findings ‘suggest the nucleus accumbens core, at least for impulsive choice, is a critical region,’ Cardinal said. The research also sheds new light on ds like Ritalin, used to treat ADHD by affecting the dopamine systems in the brain. ‘Our research suggests that (Ritalin’s) actions in the nucleus accumbens may responsible for its beneficial affects on impulsive behavior,’ he said. A SMOKER’S CHOICE Like most discoveries, the study has triggered more questions. ‘I think it’s an interesting question to ask, why were the animals with nucleus accumbens lesions impulsive?’ Cardinal said. ‘Were they impulsive because they were less sure that in fact, delayed reward was coming?’ The cigarette smoker’s choice is a good analogy, he said, and further research is needed to determine what is going on, he said. The choice is cigarettes now or avoiding lung cancer later, he said. So does the smoker really believe that cigarettes cause lung cancer? Or maybe the smoker believes cigarettes cause cancer but cares less about long-term health than the instant buzz. ‘That’s one question about the underlying psychology,’ Cardinal said. ‘Do you make your impulsive choices in the full knowledge of what you are getting yourself into? Or do you lack insight into the consequences?’

#1768 d Outdoors Thu, 31 May 2001 15:52:34 From: There have been FIVE outdoor events detailed on the special d list so far this year, and it’s still cool sailing in May. If you’ve never heard psychedelic trance on a decent system outdoors then you’re missing the point. Once you go out, you’ll never want to go back in. The police are cool, but we have to stay mobile to evade the media. Being on the email list is more important than ever. I can honestly say the best d event ever was two weeks ago, with a large video projection screen and many many props and Celtic summer ritual. This summer we’re also doing at least one boat party around Manhattan and up the river. There are also many more “Alien Sex Parties” in the works.

#1770 Arts Festival this weekend Fri, 1 Jun 2001 03:13:57 From: thx to infornography, the best list for alternative cultural events… THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY Schedule is change and additions THE GLORIOUS SIXTH ANNUAL LOWER EAST SIDE FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS Friday, Saturday, Sunday June 1st, 2nd, 3rd Theater for the New City is at 155 First Ave. (between 9th and 10th Streets), box office is (212) 254-1109 more info can be found at: Hi all – a 25 minute video which I put together from footage I shot during the Quebec protests will be showing this Saturday night (June 2nd) as part of the Lower East Side Arts Festival at the Theatre for the New City. My video (Quebec: Images from the Wall) will be be followed by ‘Raining on the Parade’, the Deep Dish TV (and IMC?) tape about the Inauguration protests. The whole festival looks pretty interesting; this year it is dedicated to the WBAI fight, and Theatre for the New City generally does really good stuff. Admission is free, and in addition to a night of videos there is lots of (probably excellent) cabaret and various interesting (and some not-so-interesting) folks will speak. My Quebec tape is scheduled to show at 9:15, but in all likelihood the entire event will be full and the theatre recommends coming an hour early. Alternatively, you can call the theatre and reserve a ticket for the night, but they ask that you only do this if you are actually interested in staying for the whole evening; they say it’s not fair to others if someone reserves a ticket for the night and just comes to see one video. Theater for the New City is at 155 First Ave. (between 9th and 10th Streets), box office is (212) 254-1109 . .

#1773 Spiritual Beings cancelled June 8 Fri, 1 Jun 2001 13:34:02 From: On Behalf Of Spiritual Beings Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 9:46 AM To:gathering june 8th we are very very VERY sorry to announce that the gathering on june 8th has been cancelled. after the deal with the original location fell through, we still had the backup location (under the bridge) but that’s impossible also at this time. for the past few weeks, we searched for other locations but the best we could find was for 12 hours only and with admission. when we did the april 6th party, all sighs were good. this time, all sighs are bad, so we guess it’s not ment to be, and all is for the best. or at least we hope so 🙂 i know that i will go to subtle chaos party. i know they’re planning a nice party, and we wish them all the best. we also wish to thank all the people that offered their help, helped search for locations, gave ideas, moral support, and for just being there for the benefit of us all. again, we are very very sorry. this is the first time ever we announced a party/gathering and it got cancelled before it even took off (usually the police is to be blamed). we hope to throw an outdoor party soon or at least a good warehouse party. we’ll keep you posted once all is confirmed. and for the last time: sorry.

#1775 Saturday Freakfest Fri, 1 Jun 2001 13:47:25 From: No sleep for the wicked! SATURDAY, JUNE 2 Blast Furnace II Come and freak out with us. Participate as we build, create, and survive before you arrive, then grow your hair, leave no trace, experience, experiment, dig it, be groovy, celebrate, do nothing that interferes with anyone’s immediate experience. Be interactive, peace man, trip out, feel your inner child, molest a stuffed animal. Downstairs: The Magenesium Twins (Ben & Cassandra) make your world sparkle; Jessea Perry, Roxanna Mennella, Steven provide words and mental tickling; Elisa Korenne rocks out. Plus acoustic mayhem with Dufus and Zero Boy. Hot Go-Go Heat by Eeah and Mahi. Videos by Mike Green, Josh & Carlos, Terry. Anney Fresh’s inflatables. Marina Potok’s slide ‘o rama, Kate Yareshenko’s effect. Samantha the Pantha and Tara Fire Ball work the DeVirginization Zone as the mood strikes. Coat check by Mike, Torch Job and special sexy guests. Bands: Licky, Two Weeks From Tomorrow. DJs downstairs: Bill, Super G (downtempo, experimental), Duane (funky San Fran house), Todd Polenberg (downtempo, experimental), kleverVice (downtempo, experimental), Phoenix (deephouse). DJs upstairs: Scott the Monkey King (two-step hip-hop garage), Marcus Ward (house), Keith Ward (house), MG (house, progressive and trance). NOTE: This is the second party thrown by this group, a small group of people who are all part of the New York Burning Man Community. (To find out more about Burning Man, look at the website web burningman.) This party is ostensibly a fundraiser for the group, which calls itself S.E.A.L. The money apparently will allow them to throw more parties, which will allow them to make more money, which will allow them to eventually get into some sort of real estate situation that would facilitate, you know, learning and parties and stuff. You could call it a Burning Man party, but somebody would get weird and proprietary or somthing and then it would start a long, exhaustive thread on the Burning Man listserver, which is possibly the most annoying thing that we return to every day on our own volition. Anyway, we went to the first Blast Furnace party about two months ago. We didn’t expect too much, frankly, because it was to take place in a bar and, you know, bars generally suck. We were way surprised. The party was great. Nice vibe, tons of costumes, decent dance music, some good performance, and dcor that radically erased almost all vestiges of bar-ness. The party was good enough that we went outside and called some friends on a pay phone and we never do that. Anyway, it’s a good one, and a pretty good group of active people who actually want to do somthing and live in a more interesting city. We’ll be putting in a shift at the door for this. Please stop by and say hello, and don’t make our job of figuring out what is a partial costume any more difficult than it already sounds. 211 Pearl Street, between Maiden Lane and John Street, Manhattan 10p-4a; $5 costumed, $10 partial costume (NOTE: ???), $15 for street clothes web sealspace.org

To All friends, family and supporters of the Solipse, The time is now drawing near when we will all converge in Africa to celebrate one of the most spectacular things that Mother Nature has to show us. It’s only 2 weeks away now, and things are really on a roll… thank you all for all your support over the year. Some people around the globe have really worked hard for the festival, to help bring it to life and everyone has contributed in their own way. The Solipse is a huge communal effort, with every part as important as the next. We have been working very hard on the location and making sure that all the things you need will be there. This is one of the major parts of the production, and so we are putting a lot of energy into it. We have dug extra water wells, full of clean and safe drinking water. And we now have enough water to even provide sprinklers on the dance floor for those afternoon dancing sessions. We have also cleared a massive space for the camping area, and we are making it so that you can walk barefoot around the whole location. Please remember the rule about No Glass Bottles! We have had many people asking us if there will be work on the location. There will of course be things that need doing, there always will be when you are creating a temporary city in the African bush, we will have a stand on the festival where you can come to volunteer to help out with these things. Get creative and get involved !! There is a shuttle bus that will run from the Airport and the Bus station to the location and back. This will run from the 15th June until the 27th June. You do not have to book a place on this bus, just turn up and ride… Other things to remember, camping is included in the price of the ticket, you can get your visa at the border as you enter Zambia and Elvis is not dead. We are very happy to say that some people have won two competitions… First up was DJ magazine in the UK. Dave Aldridge figured out that Zambia has 12 national parks, the currency is called Kwacha, and why you should take your blanket to Solipse. Second was a group of friends from Holland, Rob and Co, who proved with the help of their Dad that killing TVs can be a beautiful experience. The video they sent in will soon be on the Internet. This really made us laugh; we hope you enjoy it too! Since the last mail out (about 24 hours) we have raised US$10,800. This is really amazing, and we want to thank all the people around the world who have given us support and money to help bring the dream to life. We receive so much positive energy that really helps us through with our mission. Many people have also said that they would like to help us with smaller donations, and asked us how they can do this. So we have set up an Internet page where you can make a small donation to help with this… go to web web solipse/donateform.html Anything you can help us with is greatly appreciated by the whole global Solipse family. ! ! ! YES, Our line up is confirmed ! ! ! There have been some changes in the last few months and we thank you for sticking with us while we sorted the whole thing out. Now all the artists’ flights are booked, and we are all set to go. The problems we have had sorting out the line up have been due to a few key reasons. Firstly the fact that the festival is in Zambia has scared some Artists off, especially those that are used to playing only in clubs or in Europe. Secondly, some of the artists wanted larger fees than we were prepared and able to give them, and when you added this to Aeroplane tickets for the musicians and their friends, the sums of money involved were to high, and we could not afford it. Other issues also raised their heads such as clashes with other gigs, and some just had personal issues that they needed to sort out. To compensate for this we have added a few big acts. Dubtrees have been booked to play, and three of the original Orb members (Alex Paterson, Greg Hunter and Youth) will also be there! for a live jam in afternoon after the eclipse with a special guest… For a full list of who is playing please check out the website. web solipse. The Solipse is a Global Family Gathering, and while the music is very important, there is also a lot more to the festival than just Trance and Techno. We want people to come to create their own space, and we truly believe that while we can provide music, entertainment, a place to gather, it is you, the people, that make the festival special. We want you to come to meet old friends and make new ones from all around globe, and enjoy the world you create. But do not worry, those of us organizing the Solipse festival love Trance, so we can assure you that there will definitely be the some of the best trance this side of the Moon! Dj’s such as Anti, Tristan, Mark Allen, Olli Wisdom, Frank E, and bands like GMS, Total Eclipse, Logic Bomb, Zion Train and KoxBox all play the sounds we love to hear the way we love to hear it, and we will never forget that morning time stomp and groove that we all love! There will also be one night and day of only non-trance music. This night! in particular will highlight some of the best alternative beats from Africa and around the world We have recently been informed of an after Solipse party being organized. The organizers contacted us with some information about the party, and it sounds like a nice way to wind down and then up again after the festival. The party will be on an island near the Victoria Falls. The organizers have promised strong Zambian flavours and Acoustic sounds for the party. The location is situated 35 km west of Livingstone, down an 8km bush track through native woodlands. Along the riverbanks either side of the location are collections of small local villages, extremely picturesque and inhabited by the most friendly and welcoming people to all and sundry, who incidentally have given the organizers their full support. The area is extremely rich in wild life, and directly across the river is Zimbabwe where good game viewing can be expected from our makoras (dug out canoes). There will have an army of local guides and paddlers to cater for any guests needs, be it fishing, chilling, bush! walks, makora missions etc etc. The party takes place from 29th June to 1st July, although the organizers say people are welcome to turn up a day or two beforehand to have some African chill time. For more information about this you can e-mail to Tom at junglejunction at zamnet.zm.

Researchers at the University of California at said exposure to the d accelerates a molecular process that is important to the formation of memories and underlies addiction. Their study appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The UCSF team used slices of brain tissue from mice that were given cocaine. The samples were taken from the ventral tegmental area of the brain. The VTA is rich in dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure that is normally released in small amounts as a biochemical reward to brain cells. It also is associated with the high that cocaine induces and subsequent d cravings that travel neuron pathways throughout the brain. The UCSF team reported that samples from the cocaine-treated mice showed a chain reaction in brain cells that changed the properties of a neuron receptor named AMPA for as long as a week, long after the obvious high is gone. The prolonged AMPA activity triggered the release of dopamine and left the brain primed for more of the same, they said. These pathways typically are used in the formation of memories and learning, but the cocaine hijacks them, they said. ‘What’s so amazing is that all dopamine neurons are affected by this single cocaine exposure,’ said Mark Ungless, the study’s lead author. ‘It would have a profound effect on other areas of the brain, particularly those involved with addiction.’ The researchers said this pathway in the brain might offer one explanation into the biochemistry of how recovering d addicts can relapse easily. And, they speculated, the reaction might also apply to other addictive substances, including nicotine and alcohol. Message: 5 Wed, 30 May 2001 19:02:44 From: Obsessive Compulsives Is this how the music keeps sucking us in? New Study Pinpoints Source of Impulsive Behavior By Katherine Hunt Reuters WASHINGTON (May 24) – Trying to choose between a cookie or a carrot at snack time? A newly identified ‘hot spot’ on the brain may be the key to impulsive behavior, involved in the critical choice between instant gratification and delayed reward, researchers said on Thursday. In a study reported in the journal Science, researchers examined the nucleus accumbens, located at the base of the forebrain. The region responds to natural rewards such as food and sex, as well as ds such as amphetamines and cocaine, through their effects on the neurotransmitter chemical dopamine. ‘We have shown that damage or dysfunction of the nucleus accumbens can cause, without a doubt, impulsive choice,’ said study author Rudolf Cardinal, of the Department of Experimental Psychology in Britain’s University of Cambridge. The findings have implications for the treatment and understanding of d addiction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anti-social behavior, all of which are linked to the impulse for instant gratification. The researchers trained rats to choose between a small immediate reward and a larger, delayed reward. In tests after their nucleus accumbens were damaged, the researchers found the rats tended to choose the instant gratification of the small reward, rather than the larger reward delivered after a delay. ‘We already knew that there was a correlation between abnormalities in the nucleus accumbens and impulsive behavior,’ Cardinal said. ‘Now we have clear evidence that such abnormalities can cause this behavior.’ Lesions on two other regions of the brain that send information to the nucleus accumbens, the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, did not cause the rats to act impulsively, the study found. The findings ‘suggest the nucleus accumbens core, at least for impulsive choice, is a critical region,’ Cardinal said. The research also sheds new light on ds like Ritalin, used to treat ADHD by affecting the dopamine systems in the brain. ‘Our research suggests that (Ritalin’s) actions in the nucleus accumbens may responsible for its beneficial affects on impulsive behavior,’ he said. A SMOKER’S CHOICE Like most discoveries, the study has triggered more questions. ‘I think it’s an interesting question to ask, why were the animals with nucleus accumbens lesions impulsive?’ Cardinal said. ‘Were they impulsive because they were less sure that in fact, delayed reward was coming?’ The cigarette smoker’s choice is a good analogy, he said, and further research is needed to determine what is going on, he said. The choice is cigarettes now or avoiding lung cancer later, he said. So does the smoker really believe that cigarettes cause lung cancer? Or maybe the smoker believes cigarettes cause cancer but cares less about long-term health than the instant buzz. ‘That’s one question about the underlying psychology,’ Cardinal said. ‘Do you make your impulsive choices in the full knowledge of what you are getting yourself into? Or do you lack insight into the consequences?’ Message: 6 31 May 2001 03:47:01 – Tsunami Hallucinogen/Infected Tsunami Hallucinogen/Infected Friday, June 1, 2001 Time: 11:45PM – 6:45AM (-04:00) Friday, June 1st, 2001 11.45pm -7.00am at “THE WORLD” 1501 Broadway at 43 Streetthe leading Trance organization in America, are once again breaking new ground, by bringing to the same event the world’s two most important two trance names, to Time Square:Back by huge popular demand: INFECTED MUSHROOM, live (BNE, Israel) Duvdev and Erez, are introducing their brand -new CD BP Empire, in one of their rocking live sets, that have made them revered the world over as, without doubt, the hottest live trance act A rare, exclusive dj set my the Trance Master him-self: HALLUCINOGEN (Twisted, UK) SIMON POSFORD (Hallucinogen) is considered by his peers, to be the most influential trance producer, as well as, by being half of the innovative ambient act SHPONGLE.

#1782 FW: [infornography] [transmissions] there is no such thing as Radio Free Williamsburg Tue, 5 Jun 2001 02:02:41 From: More quite noise from our WiliamsburgRUSSIANbraeee Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 12:08 AM To: free1oh3point9 at topica [infornography] [transmissions] there is no such thing as Radio Free Williamsburg free103point9 transmissions Theres no such thing as Radio Free Williamsburg, not that we’ve ever heard, anyway. And we scour the airwaves pretty closely. There are lots of microradio stations in New York City to tune in. Just about any night you can turn on your dialif you live in Brooklyn, the Bronx or Queensand hear someone playing hardcore hip hop or speaking in tongues that aren’t often heard on the get-off-the-grass airwaves. (In lower Manhattan the building density makes it difficult to even tune in the stations that actually have working equipment, so the few pirates with rooftop access don’t get too far. Once, about five years ago, we heard the story of the fellows who worked for a TV station that broadcasts from atop the World Trade Center, as many stations do. With their access, they added their own antenna to the roof and began sending out a signal far more powerful, than those “pirates” on their ship in the New York harbor in the ’80s who get all the ink and pixel dots. Their bosses, reputedly, thought the lads were so clever to fix up their own little (well, actually, their station’s airwaves carried farther than any other “pirate” we’ve ever heard of) station, they didn’t fire them. They did post an armed gaurd, the legend goes.) But we digress. There’s no such thing as Radio Free Williamsburg. The Feds wouldn’t want it that way either. After ten years of civil disobedience, political lobbying, lawsuits, begging the conservative media to notice the lack of public access to the airwaves, and other tactics, a modest low-power FM proposal was approved by the Federal Comunications Commission last year. It would allow, in a few rural towns, small community neighborhood radio stations to serve unnooticed communities around the country. Many of the people reading this came from small towns. Imagine if your small town had its own radio station. Every Saturday afternoon, the station would likely have some sort of kids program, which would have allowed you to take part in the community’s dialogue probably for the first time. Or, say, if there was a localized flood, and the big city stations didn’t notice, the station would be there to quickly disseminate information. The Feds, they don’t want a Radio Free Williamsburg. The Republicans quickly made the limited FCC proposal that ignored big cities (“Williamsburg doesnt need a radio station”), even more limited. Excessively limited, to a bill they called the “Radio Preservation Act” or the “Corporate Money-Flow Presevation Act,” we seem to have misplaced that file. There new bill now only allows a handful of very small towns such as Ocean City, Maryland to have access to their own airwaves. So, funny world, isnt it, the Feds are out there looking for anyone who dares to serve their community with information sharing, cultural happenings, or special events, instead of helping folks spread the words of their communities. “The Feds/The Man/The System/Amerika” wants everything sorted through their corporate filters. If your tastes lean to the unfiltered, then turn your radio on. There may not be a Radio Free Williamsburg, but there are many other choices on your dial: 87.7-FM: Just below the “88” that begins most radio dials lies this fabulous freakuency. If you can turn your dial back just a bit more than you should you can get it (try older radios in thrift stores). Or try Channel 6 on your TV. If you are, say, riding the train through Philadelphia and you tune your HandHeld Portable Corporate Listening Machine just below 88, you’ll hear the Corporate Pablum of the Six O’Clock News without all the mascara and stiffener. We don’t know of anyone in New York who is doing the dual transmitting trick, but we plan to get to it soon if we get a few other hands on deck. 88.7-FM: Former home of Steal This Radio, and many other pirates. It’s pretty wide open, since the closest 88.7 is a weak Long Island college station. Turn it on and depending which part of town you are you might hear Hasidic holy men (Crown Heights, Williamsburg), a Haitian dance party (Central Brooklyn), Latin politics (East Harlem) or hip hop (Queens). 89.3-FM: Unitl May 22, Ibar Mhamed was microcasting in Queens and Brooklyn on 89.3-FM, but U.S. marshals arrested him that day, reportedly after seizing equipment from him on at least two previous occasions. Others are lurking about here too. Whatever happened to WJMZ anyway? That station wasnt Radio Free Williamsburg either, but got busted during a neighborhood student afternoon program when a trusting child let the FCC Krusty the Kop into the studio. Later they held a massive, successful fundraiser at Rubulad, and have never been heard from since, though we will assuredly hear somthing from someone about how wrong this sentence is in so many ways. And we will report back any findings in either 89.3 case. 91.1-FM: We heard about a record store on the Lower East Side that was jamming WFMU’s frequency about five years ago, and the WFMU folks saying that it happened occasionally elsewhere too. 91.9-FM: We like this frequency. Every night theres somthing great in the air. The BAD Radio guys and their raw hip hop seem to dominate, on most nights from either downtown Brooklyn or Queens. Weve also heard Polish, Italian, Hebrew and English spoken on this frequency that is the most open in the city. free91point9 uses it some weekend nights to air events, and when things are working fine the signal reaches from Long Island City to Park Slope. Youll hear it best in your car, but buildings in or about Williamsburg should be able to hear somthing, even if it sorta comes in and out sometimes and you have to stand on that chair with one leg in the air with the antenna in your teeth to really hear the bass in the dub properly. Trust us though, if you are in Brooklyn or Queens, start tuning in here frequently, cuz its always good listening. 99.1-FM: Perfect Radio occupies this tiny sliver of cypherspace in Western Greenpoint. Hopefully it blocks out the propaganda on WBAI. 103.9-FM: Mostly we just bring out the old free103point9 transmitter in East Williamsburg. Sometimes on Wednesdays, sometimes on Thursdays, sometimes on the weekends those from Bushwick to the BQE can tune in. 1610-AM: Another sliver of a station very localized near the Williamsburg Bridge.

#1791 Here Egos Again Wed, 6 Jun 2001 17:07:49 From: State of the Union My fellow Goamericans, I have been unemployed going on five months. I was selling advertising making $110k a year. Now I am here, squatting. Life is beautiful. The movie is not even in the opening credits. Now that Twilo is closed (the motherfuckers were not open to new ideas – they just wanted a minimal thing, just people paying money so that they can dance to Sasha’s ear popping pill popping drone music, as opposed to the spiritually enlightening brain chemistry that is psychedelic trance) Now that Twilo is closed, the feds and the city will probably continue to crack down on people who dance and have peak spiritual experiences on the dance floor. GHB was the final straw that got Twilo, and was also a major downer at past events. You GHB people, thanks for leaving it at home. Let’s keep it that way. Don’t miss your chance to join the d and get a boat cruise to boot. Don’t miss the boat. And nothing will change much after Michael Bloomberg gets elected Mayor. The BTS “problem” is an ongoing mess, but their weltanschauung doesn’t mesh with tranceadelica. Subtlechaos always making problems, doing it their ham headed way, but it is their way. Against all odds, and some oddballs, Synthetic Sadhus created a new residency at the Roxy, last Friday of every month. Thanks again for showing your strength. Tsunami settles in at the World. Sound still needs help, they need to hire Ricardo with his killer Mackey sound system. (Remember Parasense and the House of Trance bridge party?) Some BTS made it in to Tsunami and left before I got there from the Blue subway affair. Call Fox 5 at 212-452-3800 and tell them you want information on where you can find an Alien Sex Party, or if they know of any aliens who really *do* ecstasy. Gosha is back from the Ukraine. My former roomate Deeper in Zen is travelling in Europe but Kent Friedman is at the studio – and you will hear soon a compilation of the best of what NYC psy-producers has to offer, which is, surprisingly – in our banal capitalist culture – a lot.

#1797 k,d, and tolkien in village voice Sun, 10 Jun 2001 21:01:34 From: 2 articles from this week’s village voice 1. K and d 2. JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Geeks Welcome to the K-Hole by Erik Davis ne of the most hopeless yet admirable reactions to the utter weirdness of psychedelic experience is the desire to write about it. Whether in the form of trip tales, philosophical rants, or revisionist histories, writing promises to ground the experience, “bringing some of it back” even while underscoring the pale inadequacy of language in the face of extreme altered states. At the same time, this inadequacy provides one of the secret pleasures of psychedelic literature, which stimulates desire for ineffable experience as it brings the tension between ordinary discourse and the otherworlds of ds so sharply into play. Nowhere is this tension more apparent than in the increasingly neuro-pharmacological language surrounding popular discussions of psychedelics. Researchers and heads find themselves suspended between monkey studies and parallel worlds, serotonin receptors and the void. Unable to contain the psychedelic experience within current biological models, researchers inevitably drift toward the science fictional fringe. Such, in any case, is what happens to doctors Rick Strassman and Karl Jansen in their important new books. The first major overviews devoted to d and K address two of the most fascinating molecules your nervous system may ever meet. An anesthetic found in every emergency room, K is the more often consumed of the two, though we usually hear more about the low-dose snuffage that jacks up club kids than the hour’s worth of deep-space scuba diving that comes with shooting a heftier load into, say, your butt. dan intensely freaky, smokable goo that blasts users past the far peaks of magic Fungi and back in about 20 minutesremains the more esoteric substance, despite the fact that the molecule is found throughout our bodies and in much of the living world. As the first researcher in decades authorized to give humans psychedelics, Strassman has an interesting story to tell, and he tells it like the sober Buddhist shrink he is. After jumping through countless regulatory hoops, Strassman started squirting high doses of d into the veins of seasoned New Mexican tripsters. Technically, he was studying the d’s physical effects, but what really drove him was his hunch that d was “the spirit molecule”: the biological basis for near-death experiences (NDEs) and mystical states of consciousness. Strassman speculates that, during times of high stress (like dying), the pineal gland may churn out enough d to overwhelm the body’s protection mechanisms and make us trip from within. d: The Spirit Molecule By Rick Strassman Park Street Press, 358 pp., $16.95 paper Buy this book K: Dreams and Realities By Karl Jansen MAPS, 355 pp., $14.95 paper Buy this book more on books at VLS Strassman’s psychonauts regularly found themselves hurtled into alien laboratories, high-tech nurseries, and Day-Glo hieroglyphic hypercubes. Odder by far were the consistent reports of encounters with otherworldly beings often characterized as clowns, imps, or jesters (the late Terence McKenna dubbed them the “machine elves of hyperspace”). Strassman was not prepared for these entities, which popped up far more consistently than the similarities to NDEs and mystical experiences he expected to find. He was disappointed as well when follow-up interviews found little evidence for the sort of long-term positive psychological changes that he thought the spirit molecule would leave in its wake. He also worried about d’s risks, which not only include nightmare trips (one fellow was treated to a round of anal rape by a crew of alien crocodiles), but dangerous fluctuations in blood pressure. In the end, Strassman comes to the conclusion that “d [is] not inherently therapeutic.” If anything, K is an even kookier substance than d. Significantly different from tryptamine-based ds like d and l, K unfolds users into a disembodied otherzone more likely to be compared to The Matrix than the organic honeycombs of psilocybin. Though capable of stirring up godlike emotions, K also has a rep for a certain Spock-like chill, which Jansen links to the fact that the d stimulates the neocortex while dampening the emotional centers of the brain. Still, though Jansen’s book is chock-full of copious interviews with K fans, the d’s bizarre majesty does not come through with the force of Strassman’s d reports, perhaps because K’s elusive experiences are frequently difficult to recall. K can also exact a high, if unusual, price: addiction. As Jansen wryly notes, this may come as a surprise “for those left in a state of psychic shock after their first experience, darkly muttering ‘never again.’ ” Jansen devotes considerable attention to K addiction and its possible cures, and includes fascinating first-person accounts from literate brainiacs who undermine the typical image of the needle freak. An ambitious fellow, Jansen is clearly trying to establish himself as Dr. K, and to that end he fills his sometimes poorly organized book with facts and anecdotes. Jansen offers a convincing neurological explanation for the similarity of K trips and NDEs, and includes an in-depththough predictably inconclusive discussion of K’s long-term effects on brain tissue. But unlike Strassman, who openly confesses his doubts, confusions, and desires surrounding d, Jansen hides his feelings behind the mask of the lab coat. That’s the standard scientific tack, of course, but his personal caginess about a substance that so compels him leaves one with a vague unease. Both Jansen and Strassman have done their homework, so when they turn to wilder speculations, they earn our attention, though not necessarily our belief. For his part, Strassman abandoned his shrinkish tendency to psychologize the alien encounters he kept hearing about, and came to accept the possibility that the d opened up “freestanding, independent levels of existence about which we are at most only dimly aware.” Jansen, who also notes the profound sense of reality communicated by K, suggests that K may act as a “mental modem” that plugs us into other dimensions. You may be fascinated by the weird physics they trot out (parallel universes, dark matter, biological quantum computers), but I was far more intrigued by a comment made by one of Strassman’s psychonauts, who said that d felt more like a new technology than a d. In other words, while psychedelics provide pretty shifty models of reality, it does seem fair to view them as machines of perceptionin other words, media. As we know from the Ecstasy debates, scientific heads like Strassman and Jansen are often trying to legitimate psychedelics on therapeutic groundsgrounds that Strassman here bravely calls into question. But the real “scientific” justification for psychedelics may lie with nothing more or less than humanity’s curious eye, which can hardly be expected to turn away from one of the most kaleidoscopic lenses chemistry has yet tossed our way. J.R.R. Tolkien Still Feeds the Nerd Nations Imagination Lord of the Geeks by Julian Dibbell n 1961, five years after publication of the final volume in John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s three-part fantasy epic, The Lord of the Rings, the formidable English literary critic Philip Toynbee announced with great relief that popular enthusiasm for Tolkien was now thoroughly tapped out and his works were finally on their way to “merciful oblivion.” Nice call, Phil: Four years later, the first American paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings appeared, and the modestly bestselling bookthe tale of brave little hobbit Frodo Baggins’s quest to destroy the Ring of Power and save Middle Earth from the Dark Lord Sauronblew up to a youth-cultural legend. Three million copies were sold between 1965 and 1968; the curly-haired Frodo and his white-bearded wizardly protector Gandalf became hippie icons; and merry pranksters decked the walls of college campuses with such graffiti as “J.R.R. Tolkien is hobbit forming” and “Frodo Lives.” He still does, in case you hadn’t noticed. Even as you read this, the living face of Frodo Baggins is probably shining, 10 feet tall, on a movie screen near you, embodied by teen actor Elijah Wood in a trailer for New Line Cinema’s upcoming Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment in a slavishly faithful three-film rendering of the Ring trilogy. When the movie opens in December, it will land like a mothership in the midst of a global fandom that has by now swelled the sales figure for Tolkien’s masterwork to over 50 million copies (not counting the 40 million sales of its 1938 predecessor, The Hobbit). The Tolkienite hordes have been flooding Web sites for months with gossip and debate about the film. Add in every online discussion about the genealogy of the kings of Gondor, every argument over the syntax of the Elven Quenya dialect, and the monthly textual output of the world’s Tolkien-flavored chat rooms and message boards probably exceeds, kilobyte for kilobyte, the 1400 pages of The Lord of the Rings itself. In short, the year 2001 finds Tolkien’s following bigger and busier than at any other period in the four decades since Philip Toynbee wrote its obituary. What that amounts to in the greater pop cultural scheme of things, of course, is harder to say than it used to be. Back in the days when Tolkien was still alive and in the habit of referring to his shaggy, puff-sleeved fans as “my deplorable cultus” (he was a straitlaced, archconservative Catholic himself), they were easily mistaken for flower children, or at least fellow travelers on the road to a global transformation of consciousness through ds, electrified music, and other forms of postindustrial enchantment. But now that the world-historical context has simmered down and a somewhat tamer generation has filled out the hobbit-loving ranks, everyone can see they’re just geeks. Or somthing even geekier, arguably: ur-geeks. Keepers of the geek flame. For if The Lord of the Rings is not the sine qua non of geek culture, it’s hard to think what is. After all, the vast genre of fantasy fiction is, along with sci-fi, one of the two great narrative flows feeding the Nerd Nation’s imaginative life, and nobody doubts that Tolkien single-handedly invented it. And that’s not even counting the immense subcultural continent that is Dungeons & Dragons and every role-playing game descended from itfrom the complex, online time-suck EverQuest to the Japanimated children’s saga DragonBallZall of which testify to the formative influence of the Tolkien mythos. Throw in Star Wars (as Tolkienesque a space opera as ever there was) and the argument is pretty much a lock: Without the lucidly imagined geography of Middle Earth and the archetypal characters Tolkien stocked it withthe grave wizards, stout dwarves, evil orcs, and above all, plucky, permanently adolescent hobbitsgeekdom as we know it would simply not exist. If you feel that’s no particularly meaningful achievement, I understand. But maybe you could indulge me and imagine, just for a moment, that the fact that we live in a world increasingly made by geeks actually makes their collective imagination worth understanding. Think about computers, their evolution shaped by a hacker culture that insisted some of the earliest dot-matrix printers be programmed to produce the elvish Fanorian script. Think about the Internet, whose founding architects included the D&D fanatic who created the Adventure, the very first, very Tolkienized online role-playing game. Think, for a moment, about these profoundly transformative technologies. And then consider the possibility that the structures of feeling we inherit from them might just have some intimate connection to the dream life of the people who designed them. Consider, in other words, the possibility that The Lord of the Rings, geek culture’s defining literary creation, might just be one of the defining literary creations of our age. That The Lord of the Rings belongs among the most important works of modern Western literature is not an unheard-of notion, but it’s not exactly a blue-ribbon one either. True, in some of the first reviews of the trilogy, Tolkien’s best friend, C.S. Lewis, did call it a groundbreaking successor to the Odyssey, and W.H. Auden reckoned it was right up there with Milton’s Paradise Lost. But when bercritic Edmund Wilson published a bruising smackdown in The Nation (“Oo, Those Awful Orcs,” April 14, 1956) dismissing the book as “balderdash” and “juvenile trash,” he sent Tolkien’s critical stock into a long, steady tailspin from which it has yet to recover. By late 1996, when a survey of British readers crowned The Lord of the Rings “the greatest book of the 20th century,” the dismay that set in among Britain’s credentialed literati was as predictable as it was over-the-top. Germaine Greer, who arrived at Cambridge as a student in 1964, wrote “it has been my nightmare that Tolkien would turn out to be the most influential writer of the twentieth century. The bad dream has materialized.” Nor does the official stance seem to have softened any since. Just a few weeks ago critic Judith Shulevitz went to the trouble of reminding us all, in the pages of The New York Times Book Review, that no modern work of fiction in which people say things like “There lie the woods of Lthlrien! . . . Let us hasten!” can be anything less than “death to literature itself.” Shulevitz made these remarks in response to claims very much to the contrary, advanced in T. Shippey’s new critical assessment, J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century, published by Houghton Mifflin last month. Shippey is a professor of Old English, just as Tolkien wasShippey even shared teaching duties with Tolkien at Oxford for a brief timeand he seems to take just a tad personally the general critical disdain heaped upon his former colleague. But while his indignation gets a little out of hand, his argument is a sober one, aimed at setting Tolkien alongside such epic poets of the 20th-century condition as Orwell, Joyce, and Pynchon. The Lord of the Rings, he insists, constitutes “a deeply serious response to what will be seen in the end as the major issues of his century: the origin and nature of evil . . .human existence . . . without the support of divine revelation; cultural relativity; and the corruptions and continuities of language.” But in fact, deeply serious or not, Tolkien’s actual responses to these issues are so deeply unengaged with the 20th-century cultural mainstream as to seem willfully out of it. A lovely list of issues indeed. The problem, though, is that, deeply serious or not, Tolkien’s responses to them were those of a man whose head resided in the 20th century but whose heart just wasn’t in it. He was a medievalist in more ways than one, and to read his work as Shippey proposes, with the concerns of modernist literature in mind, is to invite the sort of exasperation you might feel if you were in the mood for Madame Bovary and got handed Beowulf instead. Tolkien’s theory of evil? Well, orcs are, our heroes aren’t, and that about sums it up. Tolkien’s take on “human existence”? A hard gig, certainly, full of danger and tough decisions, but fortunately not enough to threaten the wise Gandalf, the noble Aragorn, the sly Saruman, or any of Tolkien’s other characters with more than the occasional moment of psychological complexity. And as for “cultural relativity,” hoo boy. By the time you have read your third or fourth description of the orcs as “swarthy” and “slant-eyed” you will either have checked your late-modern political sensitivities at the door or thrown the book at the wall. But ultimately, the real problem with Shippey’s approach is the same one that dogs almost all attempts to wring serious literary meaning out of The Lord of the Rings: It fails to take Tolkien’s literary project as seriously as he took it himself. “I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations,” he famously wrote in one foreword to the trilogy, warning readers against the temptation of finding in it “any inner meaning or ‘message.’ ” Nearly every thoughtful piece of Tolkien criticism makes some kind of nod to the letter of that admonition, but very few can resist violating its spirit. For some, the “inner meaning” of The Lord of the Rings has been a bluntly topical allegory of, say, World War II or eco-activism (Sauron is Hitler and the Ring is the atomic bomb; Sauron is the enemy of Gaia and the Ring is industrial technology). For more high-minded exegetes, like Auden and Shippey, the meanings are more abstract (Frodo’s quest is the Quest of Everyman to come to know himself; Frodo’s struggle with the Ring’s corrupting influence is society’s struggle with the burden of power). But either way, these critics’ sense of the worthiness of the trilogy compels them to sniff out its significance, often as not at the expense of any true grasp of what Tolkien’s point and power really are. So what is his point then? What is his power? Strip away his meaning and what is left? Well, Middle Earth itself. Or rather his invention of ita powerful, lifelong act that produced at least 12 volumes of background notes on the history and languages of that imaginary world. Some might call this make-believe, others might call it simulation, still others would call it hallucination. All three explain why, as an unnamed British smartass observed in a 1992 edition of Private Eye, Tolkien’s writing appeals less to critics than “to those with the mental age of a child, computer programmers, hippies and most Americans.” There is in Americaand anywhere else the engines of postmodernity run at full tilta growing cultural fascination with the elasticity of reality, and with it a growing urge to tinker at reality’s stretchiest edges. Literature, as the critics now understand it, doesn’t satisfy this urge. But child’s play has always done the trick. Psychedelics too. And now, more and more, our technologies are at it as well. Already, deep, complex computer games like the Sims and Black and White anticipate an era when critics locate culture’s center of gravity not in books but in elaborate digital simulations. And when they do, a few may recall that it was Tolkien, lord of the geeks, who announced the shift.

Driven by unique musical soundtracks recorded specifically for this mthod of healing, Trance Dance takes participants on an ‘inner journey’ not limited to our normal perceptions of space/time. Ritual trance journeys have been a vital part of shamanic and eastern dance cultures for thousands of years. Our contemporary approach to Trance Dance brings together the richness of these ancient rituals with some startlingly effective modern techniques. One of these is the use of a blindfold or bandana which covers the eyes, thereby shutting down the major source of distractions to the brain and stimulating an ‘inner vision’ that reveals hidden meanings and answers to many of life’s most compelling questions. sage- From: Mark Sklawer RSent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 6:57 PM To: Recipient List Suppressed: Trancedance/Healing Ritual Presented by Pa rashakti & Shakti Spirits-June 17 Dancers &nb sWe invite you to a special day of events that will take place on Sunday June 17. 5 p.m. Parashakti and the Shakti Spirits will lead a Hatha Yoga class that will be followed by a Trancedance healing ritual.(to learn more about Trancedance look at the bottom of letter). &nbs This will be held at Limon dance studio- 611 Broadway by Houston St.,9 th. floor.

#1813 Fwd: ancestor worship – this thursday at twilo! Wed, 20 Jun 2001 17:28:33 From: — From: “Outcast Grooves” outcastgrooves at hotmail Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 11:59 AM this thursday at twilo! PATRONS BID FAREWELL TO NYC NIGHTCLUB, TWILO New York, New York, June 18, 2001 . In observance of the recent closing of famed New York City nightclub, Twilo, former patrons will gather outside of 530 West 27th Street beginning at 8:00 PM on Thursday June 21, 2001, to say good-bye and thank-you to the beloved nightclub. During its six years in operation, Twilo was considered the center of the electronic music movement in the United States. The first to sign International DJ’s as residents, it was a pilgrimage of sorts to club-goers worldwide. In the last year, the nightclub has been engulfed in legal battles with New York City that ultimately led to the denial of a renewal of the nightclub’s cabaret license. Twilo patrons believe the City unfairly targeted Twilo in an attempt to curb New York City nightlife and capitalize on the sensationalism surrounding the “club d” ecstasy; throughout the United States, established nightclubs are being targeted as havens for d use and distribution. For six years, Twilo brought together people from around the world to the warehouse on West 27th street through appreciation for music and dance. While Twilo is no more, the community lives on, the records will keep spinning, and Twilo will go down in the history books, with the likes of Studio 54 and the Pallidium, as a legendary New York City nightclubs. Twilo’s management and staff are not involved in the above-mentioned vigil. All statements made in this release are public and available on the World Wide Web.

#1816 PLEASE READ: YOUR BRAINMACHINE MEMBERSHIP Cc: Jeff Thu, 21 Jun 2001 16:42:36 From: HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!! As you probably already noticed, I am now running this list, and I am quite confident that I can do an excellent job keeping you informed. In fact, I am the source of much of the information that you are accustomed to receiving from Jeff. Jeff has given me absolute authority to do whatever I want with the Brainmachines mailing list. So I have decided to use it to raise money for his legal defense. I strongly believe that is in his best interest. You now must pay to stay. Nor am I adding any new members unless Jeff returns to take back this list, which is very unlikely For years, Jeff has provided you all with an invaluable source of information, and I am more than willing to donate my time in order to continue to provide this service, provided that you donate money to Jeff’s defense. Please notice I am not making a dime from any of this. Jeff loves all of you, and I love Jeff. However, I am not as enamored with all of you as much as Jeff is 🙂 The following may seem complicated, so please pay attention: If you are not a member of The Devotional Ministry of Trance, you have three, and only three, options in order to remain on this list: 1) Listed below is a flyer for a benefit party to raise money for Jeff’s defense. If you attend this event, you will be have the opportunity to give your email address, which will allow you to stay on this list. 2) You can send $19.23 via Paypal:

(First name: Machine, Last name: Elf), You are more than welcome to donate more than $19.23 to Jeff’s defense, but it must end in “9.23” otherwise I won’t know to keep you on Brainmachines.

#1824 Synthetic Sadhus at Tunnel Sun, 24 Jun 2001 09:37:06 From: Hi, We’ve got a lot of questions about why did we change venue this month, and I thought you would like to have an answer: Our main goal since we started to produce events in New York City has been and still is to provide you with the most amazing party environment possible. We don’t want to be just another party, we want to create a real atmosphere of aesthetic wonder and musical astonishment in which you as much as we are abble to experience a deep and yet fascinating cultural environment. Psychedelic trance is a colorfull movement of intense creativity and we always tried to represent its many aspects in our events. Some of you wondered why we did leave the Roxy for the Tunnel. Well, the main reason for such choice came from the fact that 200 people got denied admission by the Roxy’s security at our last TIP party because the Roxy, in a frantic stress caused by the final closure of Twilo, suddenly decided to refuse student ID as well as Foreign Driving License and ID at their doors. The consequence was that 200 of us could not get in the party. And We are doing parties for you guys to come, share and gather with us, so their policy obliged us to find a new venue since we are perfectly aware that half of our crowd is from Foreign nationalities. After a long and painful search, we finally decided that for now, the best venue for our CHAISHOP worldtour 2001 party was the TUNNEL. First the Tunnel offers one of the best sound system in the City, secondely, since it is closed as a regular club, we knew that we will not get any of the once residing “club” freaks that were frequenting the place. Plus, the Tunnel as a venue and once decorated from TOP to BOTTOM with amazing fluoro backdrops and installations will certainly stand as a beautiful environment. It is also located in the heart of Manhattan and more importantly than anything else, they do accept student ID and foreign ID’s as valid amission papers ! On the top of all this, it does fit more than a thousand people and can stay open till 7am, and those are RARE qualities in today’s Manhattan venues. So, as we always did these last three years, we will provide you with the best psychedelic environment possible: with the first NYC appearance of the legendary CHAISHOP collective, featuring three TOP eclectic international live acts, two killer DJ sets and the artist that decorated the VOOV experience added to Jamin’s out of this world installations, an amazing chill-out produced by Wanderlust, a truck load of black lights and a sound system to shake your lungs and all this followed by an after party !! So just think about that it will be a Synthetic Sadhus party not a Tunnel party. The Tunnel is just a room. We will be the spirit with full of good energy. And we will need your support in order to keep up the good parties! Well, we hope that our efforts will give birth to one of the summer’s most amazing gathering, the structure is set, the rest entirely depend on you, so let’s gather, let’s party and once again, let’s make history…. Respect and Love for all of you! SYNTHETIC SADHUS

#1840 Thanks from Jeff Tue, 03 Jul 2001 16:02:46 From: From: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 13:16:30 Thanks The Save the Elf benefit was a success. F/XMike, Ran, Eitan, and surprise guest DJ Illusion did a slamming job. We’re so happy with the turnout (98) that we’re going to do it again, it will be called REHAB. Also, those on brainmachines who attended will keep their membership. Thanks to Michel for organizing the trance float at the Mermaid Parade on Saturday, and finally, thanks to EVERYONE who set sail Sunday for the Alien Sex Party after the thunderstorm. When we got there at the pier at 5pm it was raining but luckily there was a film festival going on under the tent where we set up our Middle Eastern buffet. The weather had forecast scattered rains clearing up by nightfall. We decided to wait until 7pm to decide whether to continue or cancel. We lost about 12 people. After the initial downpour the skies miraculously cleared – did God change his mind? The remaining 25 made a group decision and got on the ship, we took off at 7pm, a rainbow came out, a beautiful sunset, and we had an evening to remember. The moon crept out from the clouds, dark trippy music set the mood. We must have had eight people swimming, props to Soch and Ben and Mandy for keeping the trance and industrial tunes going. There is a lot of interesting detail that unfortunately won’t ever see the light of day… you had to have been there. We got back at 1:30am. Everyone couldn’t believe the vibe, the spirit, and the full on insanity. For those who were no show, we did say, rain or shine. Even though the rain scared off 15 of the 40 people who had verbally promised they would show, and to hold a seat for them, keepin mind that if you commited, then that was a seat that could have gone to someone else. Thanks to some last minute friends who boarded we ended up just with a loss of $250 on the food and drink, which was offset by the Save the Elf benefit on Friday. In the future, absolutely no reservations will be made without payment upfront, even from friends. It is my policy to always keep my word, and when we say we are going to do somthing, whether under the bridge or on a boat or at my house, to follow up and do it no matter what the cost or consequence. Thanks again, true believers! Our faith and persistence was rewarded. We’ll do this again, definitely. Cheers Jeff

See, in the early ’90s it … seemed to us that the world was consumed by commercialism and entirely … mediated by monolithic entertainment conglomerates. We imagined that if … these ideologies, these practices, these companies went … unchecked that even … the last, diligent few people like us, of course would be … steamrolled … and forced into a pair of Nikes. Back then we figured that the … only weapons … available to people like us were satire, irony, and intelligence. The … Baffler delivered all of that. They explained how dissent and … rebellion had … been boxed up, repackaged, and reused to sell Levi’s. They ripped apart … somthing called alternative music. They poked holes in the idea of … lifestyles, as opposed to lives. And they were funny: “Interns … built the … pyramids,” they asserted. “The journal that blunts the cutting … edge,” they … sloganed. So time passed. The Baffler editors wrote books. They started … writing about unions. Meanwhile, we got older. And in doing so … we learned … somthing that the Baffler never thought to teach us: That you … can rip and … pull and scream and shout about the system, but you can’t bring … it down. It … was all very depressing. By that time, the Baffler just made us … sad. It was … all so negative. We couldn’t stand it. We ached for sincerity, … for action. … Satire seemed so empty. Irony had no barbs left. Fortunately somthing … happened around that time. We started seeing things; people … doing stuff. … Homemade circuses. Collective warehouses. Elaborate parties. … Treasure hunts … in subway tunnels. People in costume for the pure … ridiculousness of it. The … people doing these things acted as if no one had bothered to … tell them that … everything sucked. And instead of moping around and complaining, they … built. It was all very inspiring. And fun. So fun. We have a … new mind about … all of this now. To us, it seems that it’s better to build new … things than … to bother tearing down old things. If you don’t like movies and … television, … entertain yourself. If you think bars suck, don’t go to them. … You create … your own life. These days we don’t really have time for the … Baffler and we … haven’t read it in years. But a few months ago, we heard that … the journal’s … offices in Chicago had burnt down in a fire that consumed the entire … building. The staff detailed what they had lost: files, … printers, scissors, … staples, a fax machine, so much more. And somehow, by reading … about all of … these real goods, we realized that we’d forgotten somthing: … The Baffler … and its staff were really trying to build somthing all along. … They weren’t … really just sitting around criticizing pop culture or whatever; … they were … making a magazine, printing it, distributing it. “Forget the other crap … magazines,” we could hear them say, “we’ll make our own.” And, … geez, they … even helped us get through all of that early ’20s negativity. We still … really haven’t changed our mind about their message, or … whatever, but we … sent in a check immediately. We want the Baffler to get going again, … because they’re, in their own way, building somthing of their own.

#1855 help fight AIDS Thu, 12 Jul 2001 14:36:18 From: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 14:28:47 From: Steven Craig ego at ikickass please help me July 12, 2001 (only 14 days before the deadline!) Dearest Friends and Family, Some of you know me directly and have been my steadfast supporters in everyday life, and some of you I have met through work, parties, the Internet, Morocco, music, or simply by living and trying to survive and make a difference in New York City. What most of you do not know is that for the last three months my mother and I have been training for a 5 day, 500 mile bike ride in Alaska this August 17th. That’s 100 miles a day, through mountains and (possibly) very in climate weather, from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Then, at night, we will be sleeping in tents under the stars about 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle! I was born in Kodiak, Alaska, and this is the first time I have returned. I cannot even tell you how excited I am at the prospect of combining a trip to my birthplace with this noble cause! Since I managed to hold your attention thus far, I figure I will put the gist of this message plain and simply right here: I need YOU to help me fight HIV and AIDS! I have until July 26th to raise at least $3,400. If you are overtaken by a fit of generosity and need immediate instructions on how to pledge, they are at the bottom of this letter, but please read on to hear my story and why I am doing this massive undertaking. AIDS is one of the most deadly diseases on the planet: so far well over 34 million people are infected with the HIV virus that causes AIDS, and 18 million people worldwide have already died of AIDS. Including my father. He was infected when I was a young boy, and died when I was 13. AIDS transformed my strong, intelligent, caring father into a weak husk of a man and then ended his life: all in the span of less than three years. No one should have to suffer and die of this disease, and no one should have to watch a loved one disintegrate before his or her very eyes. All of you, I am sure, agree on this. Many people, however, disagree on the best way to combat this horrible and terrifying disease. Most have a laissez-faire attitude towards it: they will let trained medical workers assist and care for the unfortunates with AIDS, and allow trained and skilled researchers to research and test new strategies for combating the disease. The reason I am doing this ride to shout “THAT IS NOT ENOUGH” from hillside to hillside, so all can hear. We all must do more – educate our friends, our family, and ourselves. We all must give of ourselves: our time and our energy by volunteering, helping, caring. And, of course, sharing our prosperity and good fortune with those stricken with the disease. You may have blinked earlier on when you saw the phrase “my mother and I,” but you did read correctly: my mom is also going to do this 500 mile ride through the mountains of Alaska with me. Together we are Team Craig – the survivors. This letter is a humble request for you to donate any amount of money to this worthy cause – I am not willing to stand idly by and hope others will cure this disease, and my great hope is that you feel the same. I need to raise $3,400 in pledges and donations in order to attend this ride. Let me explain how this will all shake out: I am paying – out of my pocket – all expenses for this trip. I am paying for the plane fare, the transportation costs, the costs of accommodations in Alaska before and after the ride, all myself. Any and all money you pledge will go directly to assist various AIDS research projects across the United States. None of the money will go into my pocket or even come anywhere near me. All contributions are completely tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. If I do not raise $3,400 by Thursday, July 26, from contributions from you wonderful people, then I will donate whatever amount remains – no matter how much, up to the entire $3,400 – from my own pocket to make up the difference. PLEASE – look deep in your heart and give generously. Every bit helps: $20, $50, $100, even $1,000 – and goes directly towards helping the entire human race. Will your grandchildren live in a world without AIDS? Or will they, too, perish – victim of a deadly plague that we did not do enough to stop? ALSO – please forward this letter to all your friends and family. The more people who see this letter, the more people who will donate, volunteer, and give to the cause. If you would like more information about the ride, please go to the website at: web vaccineride.org/ With all love, respect, and determination, Steven Craig – rider number 20505 FOR PROGRESS UPDATES: Please go to my website: slack.net/ego/ TO SPEAK WITH ME DIRECTLY: CELL(24hrs by 7days ) – 646 – 242 – 7378 TO DONATE: Remember – I have until July 26th to raise this money. If you can donate, PLEASE do it now and send me a note letting me know so that I may thank you in person and make sure you see and share all my pictures, videos, and memories of this incredible undertaking. If you have Internet access, please go to this website and TYPE IN MY RIDER NUMBER, 20505 web web ecenroll/ECPTW2/SilverStream/Pages/pgVaccineRidesDonateOnline.ht ml If you do NOT have Internet access: Please call me at home 718 – 832 – 7120 or on my cell 646 – 242 – 7378 anytime and leave me your name and phone number and I will get you a donation form immediately.

#1859 scanner tonight Fri, 13 Jul 2001 19:03:09 From: Scanner Fri 7.13 (8.30pm) Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette St., 212.539.8778) $12 Joe’s Pub, the intimate venue of choice for many a New Yorker is again hosting an event of the most peculiar kind. This time it’s the proclaimed English eavesdropping artist Scanner, who’s gonna scour the ether for whatever might be in the air tonight. Scanner is known for working the knobs of his special equipment to lift what’s off the airwaves — walkie-talkie dialogues, phone calls, FM, AM, and the neighbor’s private cell phone drama — and mixing it into an esoteric, ambient collage of clicks, cuts and beeps. Tonight will be no different as he serves up junglist breaks tossed in with hundreds of live channels. Don’t miss this telephone terrorist break it on down.

#1860 Red Green Blue Fri, 13 Jul 2001 19:03:12 From: xX SATURDAY, JULY 7 xX From Complacent: Red Green Blue (reading between pixels) A 12-hour festival of media deconstruction. An event spanning two massive raw spaces on the Brooklyn waterfront. An interactive exploration of art, music, and media built by more than 60 provocateurs. Part 1: Dissection. Pulling apart the three colors that create pixels in television screens and computer monitors. A mixed media landscape built in the bowels of a former spice factory. Tall ceilings, cracked brick, exposed beams, and our spectacle shining like a point of light from the soul of Dumbo Brooklyn. A red room with red walls, red wine and video projections shining over eclectic performances. A green room, with green installations and video screenings, full stories from the front lines of cultural revolution. A blue lounge with blue art and blue drinks from a blue bar and video voyeur cam. Experience: Soul shaking by the irreverent Reverend Billy and his 10-piece choir. A cross genre live media masterpiece of funk and movement with Akim Funk Buddha and Dha Fuzion (ethno funkestra circus.) Live jazz/funk beats from Simple Life with a special performance piece by Wen Deb Januszed. Walls will be draped with video art and projections from Rroom.org, Eve Bradford, and Geoff Garrison. Interactive art installations from Mary Walling Blackburn and Palmipsest. All culminating in a climax orchestrated by the Ransom Corp. featuring the musical machinations of Zemi 17. Then, a free-form parade led by the Hungry March Band traveling at midnight to the second part of the event. Part 2: Intersection. Mixing and blurring the lines between pixels, creating our own media festival. Featuring masked soul convergence by Mellifluous and analogous artifice with Bio-Engine. Television piles and paint by Props. Video projections shining truth and propaganda, visual arts from Amerikan Multiwerks, trash worship with Waste Zero and an autonomous dome built by the Amoeba Collective. Plus smart and dumb drinks and spontaneous surprises. Musical landscapes will include soul-filling drum ‘n’ bass from Swingsett and Lisa Shaw, beat inspirations by Saskai, jump-up jungle from DJ Chrome, deep dark house from DJ fflood, a late-night set by Jason Blackkat, and a mixed beat live set from 9abino. With an early morning sunrise ceremony watching the rays of light reflect off the skyline of Manhattan. Part 1: Smack Mellon Studios 56 Water St, DUMBO, Brooklyn 6p-midnight; $9 if costumed in red or green or blue, $13 otherwise; one price pays entrance to both venues. Part 2: 10 Jay Street, DUMBO, Brooklyn, enter at Pearl and John streets Midnight-6a; $9 if costumed in red or green or blue, $13 otherwise; one price pays entrance to both venues. wwwplacent.org/rgb 212 866 9007 or 800 450 5456 NOTE: A party with much thought behind it from several different groups, all interesting, creative, and worth seeing on their own. It’s an underground summit, even though no one would be so gross as to call it as much. The place to be this weekend. xX SUNDAY, JULY 15 xX Precision Accidents and Nonsense NYC present: Implosion and Formal Tea Party Celebrate a vulgar display of power with civility and class. Join us as we whisper our farewell to the Maspeth Towers two imposing fuel receptacles in the easternmost portion of fair Williamsburg as they are reduced to smithereens by a crude allotment of dynamite. Please don your chapeaux and pull on your lace gloves for the occasion. High tea will be served with delicious comestibles, including dainty cucumber sandwiches, wholesome scones, and the sweetest of marmalades. Cooper Park, Maspeth and Morgan avenues, Williamsburg High tea, 6am. Implosion, 7am. jstark at salon web nytimes/2001/07/09/nyregion/09TANK.html if you’ve never seen an implosion make sure you check out the maspeth towers boom this weekend. we’ve been known to travel a few hours to witness one. we know some people, nonsense subscribers in fact, who have gone further, and who even track u.s. implosions in their own email newsletters. we admire, appreciate, and envy them. well, folks, this implosion is happening right here in our own back yard. yes, 7am on sunday is an inhumane hour, but come on: we’re talking about two giant steel structures those two tanks in williamsburg with the red and white checkerboards on the top being blown up with dynamite. it’s unmissable as far as we’re concerned. stay late at the red blue green party the night before. bring a change of clothes so you can look all spiffy for sipping tea. bring a blanket, and appreciate spectacle for its own sake.

#1861 Farewell party to Eitan – July 28th Tue, 17 Jul 2001 15:53:15 From: From: “Spiritual Beings” spiritualbeings at hotmail spiritualbeings Farewell party to Eitan – July 28th Mon, 16 Jul 2001 23:44:44 Prolog: When Eitan first got to New York, He was the only Representative of Spiritual Beings in the States.

#1862 Tranz-Generating Tue, 17 Jul 2001 15:53:11 From: From: PsyLocib3000 at aol Mon, 16 Jul 2001 19:34:01 Tranz-Generating Secret Insight Knowledge About Trance! Visualize yourself dancing for hours without interruption, overflowing with bliss. Suddenly, that, which you’ve believed until than represented reality to you, explodes into a world of psychedelic imagery and leaves you within swirling energy patterns, that appear everywhere throughout matter. And when the world starts to glow, you’ve somehow recognized the symbols, that lead to specific reactions and caused an entire universe to tremble into pieces, unfolding itself anew from within. The world and the suffering of the body are swallowed by a raging kundalliny, down into a silent abyss of darkness. That, which lies beyond death holds the space for the suns of our souls to shine forth in limitless freedom. After you’ve passed through the gateway of your delusory fears and have surrendered all false self images to the “ONE” among the many, you gladly exchange your entire life for that one eternal moment you’ve just experienced! In fact, it would be a worthless life without having starred into the eyes of eternnces will carry you directly into the arms of the infinite. Once tapped into the ultimate and formless life-potential, that exists within each of us, anything one imagines, creates itself instantaneously by thought. That’s why it works that when through certain sounds and/or subliminal messages memories are retrieved, one (re)lives certain experiences and/or (re)learns from them. Generally it is good to live through as many incarnations as possible during a night of dance, before arriving at sunrise, hopefully unified. Once purified, you can join in the dance of the celestial beings within the kingdom of the ultimate and enjoy the freedom of existing anywhere, anytime simultaneously. You can enter the universal mind-lattice once your body/mind is completely relaxed, transparent. It happens the moment pure energy moves through you. It moves you! Through the vibrating sound movements in the music with the golden light that opens the door to the galactic insight, you can travel far across and throughout space. Boundaries of time dissolve and unfolding entities present themselves as an opening to the interface, to carry you in between dimensions, free of personal intentions. Stretch the cosmic syllable A-O-U-M into any possible way (it is endless) and you’ve got GOA-GAIA-universal sound. Some tracks are like an audio translation of the Kabala, numerological, mystical scriptures. If you travel on the monotonous, entrancing beats that are so similar in nature to the pulse of your heart, you might find yourself breathless at times and speechless with smiles. Mystical experiences+Religious influences are: Taoism (Tai Chi), Sufi, Hinduism (Yoga), Buddhism (Meditation), Cabalism (the tree of life), Shamanism (navigating consciousness), Mysticism of all religions and tribes of aboriginal people that are one people, influence the culture. Mayan, Egyptians, Pixies, Pagans, Gypsies, Witchcraft, Voodoo, Africa and Nature-magic all play their part in the play/pray-fullness that enhances our senses during the trance dances. Shiva/Kali and Tantra are major to Goa trance. But anyway, all religions once sprang from the same source. The mystical experience gives personal understanding and unclouded insight into the real nature and meaning of life and death. To follow a movement on the external world will only lead you away from your intuitive heart (the channel to god and light-being(being light)-realization) that can be felt when tuned into the within. Remember: only change is constant! Today parties grow like Fungi out of cow paddies, all around the planet. To dance will help everybody in the transitional process of letting the old conservative things fall to make space for “flowers to grow through concrete”! About the ritual: The “elite” Goa connections are mostly universal and planetary life-travelers who have met through magical circumstances to unify and gather their strength on this mission to manifest the perfected vision. We ask for guidance and supervision from the eternal light beings that we invoke in our meditations. Their appearance clears away the fog of the superficial Ego-selves that cloud the clear perception. We weave a circle of light around us. This way we strengthen our global family and initiate new people into the pure realm of unconditional love. Through the understanding of the collective, we can learn how to share ideas and how to communicate them with one another. We try our best to respect our differences with the vision of our common origin and destination always in mind. We all are mirrors of each other. And through reflection we learn how to grow and change together with and in the present towards the light and love that fuels our soul: “c o m e – u n i t y ! ” Somehow, we as humans lost our tribal roots and are now left controlled by the “patrolled” in isolation and distrust amongst each other. We have almost lost our root memory of bliss, the divine ecstasy without which we miss the warmth of love that nurtures our soul. But once upon a time we all have lived in tribes and danced in circles, all around planet earth. When does this circle complete the cycle for you and spirals you up? During rituals consciousness unfolds and expands itself slowly from the individual to a group awareness. The mandala comes globally together when we understand and accept all life forms to be part of our true selves. It aligns us with the planetary grid. Then, from the dot of the earth in the perspective from outer space, we embark into the astral realm where we finally surf throughout time and space. Ultimately we abide in the beyond, existing in a humming silence, observing the wisdom of the “All” that is inscribed on a dream reality-DNA. When we finally arrive back home, the inner peace and contentment we so deeply desired settles our restlessness. Then, when we are dispersed like ashes that is left after a holy fire, the message spreads throughout space through our voices, that are God’s chants, that all life was created to express the freedom of unlimited choices, to share our vision and ourselves, to coexist in peace anytime, anywhere and nowhere ( now-here) at the same time, no time. Goa parties have the potential to break down the limitations that only exist within our own minds. They open the door to a limitless imagination to which we have been blind before we knew what we could have not known, before we saw the awe. Through the shamanic journey one re-connects to the root of all reality’s spring. In India everything is understood as being whole, holy, part of the divine creation that embraces everything, and everybody is embraced by it. We invite anybody to join their hands into the circle, to express their innermost intimate selves, which is, when liberated, without limitations or boundaries, absolutely free of judgment, comparison, division or to make it simple, free of thought. -Aloha namo shivaya- 415. 289. 7000. # 222 omananda at geocities

#1870 Please foward to friends in NYC Wed, 18 Jul 2001 19:53:10 From: — From: john wood fbay604 at lists.cybernothing.org Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 2:10 PM [SFBay604] Please foward to friends in NYC “WE’VE BEEN CLOSING DOWN THESE LITTLE BUCKETS OF BLOOD [NIGHTCLUBS] FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS AND PARALYZING THEM.” -Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington on the Giuliani administration’s war against nightclubs. As a dance community and industry, we’ve all been discussing ways in which the nightlife community can respond to the Giuliani administration’s war on nightlife and we’re now taking the first step in that direction. We’re asking nightclub owners, nightclub staff, promoters, DJs, publicists, clubbers and anyone interested in safeguarding New York’s credibility as a nightlife and music destination to come together and preserve what’s left of New York nightlife. One of the goals is to give voice to the nightlife community and put all mayoral candidates on notice that we will not sit idly by while the government takes away our rights to meet, dance, and listen to the music of our choice. We hope to help elect a nightlife-friendly mayor and perhaps more importantly, devise a platform of issues (such as repealing the cabaret laws and removing penalties for calling 911) that need to be addressed by the mayoral candidates as well as the next administration. Some preliminary ideas that have been discussed include staging a series of dance music events where registering to vote would be the requirement for admission and the creation of a nightlife task force that would represent the needs and interests of the clubbing community. We will be discussing these and other issues at an important meeting at Baktun (14th Street between 9th And Washington) on July 26 from 6:30 pm till 9pm. We urge you to attend and invite select friends. We request that you not invite press as this is an opportunity to get to know one another, and we will seek a level of comfort where people can express concerns and ideas openly. Press events will likely follow. To share their experience in local and national organizing around this issue, the following people will be in attendance: Graham Boyd – director of the d policy litigation project for the ACLU Will Patterson – Electronic Music Defense and Education Fund (EM:DEF) John Wood – Late Night Coalition (SFLNC) Leslie Ayres – Late Night Coalition (SFLNC) No need to RSVP, just show up-and prove that the nightlife community will not be silent in the face of this attack on dance music culture. Feel free to review the web pages of the above organizations: ACLU web aclu.org EM:DEF web emdef.org SFLNC web sflnc Nightclubs buckets of blood – and that’s a pro-business Deputy Mayor?

Police Raid Staged Rave Party GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – Police raided a rave party that was staged for an amateur movie, making three d-related arrests and charging the filmmaker and two others with operating an illegal business. Tyler Blair, an honors student at Michigan State University, said he was trying to organize a large but well-controlled party to serve as a spoof of rave culture for a film, ‘E-tards.’ The title is a term for users of Ecstasy, an illicit d that has come to be associated with raves, the all-night parties featuring techno music and dancing. Blair said he tried to make sure the party Friday was within the law and notified police beforehand about his filming plans. But police became suspicious and raided the party, which was held at the home of one of Blair’s friends. ‘I guess I gave them everything they needed to arrest us,’ Blair said. Blair said neither he nor anyone who lives at the house knew the people arrested for d possession.

#1879 Please Read: Administrative Notice Fri, 20 Jul 2001 13:16:45 From: First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for their support in donating to Jeff’s legal defense fund. It is very much appreciated. I’ve been talking to various promoters on nearly a daily basis in trying to organize more benefit events. Secondly, no one will be removed from this list for not donating to the cause. I’ve asked Jeff several times for a list of Brainmachines members who payed at the E.L.F. benefit at Speed. Since Jeff has not produced such a list, I have no idea who went, and there I have no idea who should be allowed to stay. We are still trying to raise money for Jeff’s defense. If you have not yet made a donation, please Paypal money to, Please do not use the old machinelf Paypal account. That account has been deactivated. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please give generously. I’ve added a list of new addresses that Jeff collected at the ELF benefit at Speeed, and approved all of the pending subscriptions. So this list is up to about 800 members. Jeff used to have prospective listmembers submit an email explaining why they should be subscribed. I’m thinking that anyone could write such an email. So rather than engage a sisyphean hoosafudge in a vain attempt to keep this list secure, I will approve any and all subscription requests whenever I get a round to it. Please do not email me with address changes and subscription requests. Please go to the Yahoo Groups website, or use the links appended below. Also, if you light a cigarette with a match, and throw the match in an ashtray, and then notice the match is still burning. Do not blow it out. Ashes will fly all over the place 🙂 Since Jeff is facing life-threatening issues, I will continue to run this list so that Jeff will have more time and fewer distractions. I will continue to make every effort to keep the members of this list informed in the manner in which you are accustomed. While this list has focused on psy-trance events in New York City, I will also forward eflyers for other events, URL links, and other information as I see fit. Otoh, I will not forward personal ads, descriptions of lost kittens, emails from people with extra Back Street Boys tickets, or forsale messages that do not raise money for Jeff. So, please, don’t ask me. That being said, I am interested in the following: * psychedelic culture * trance and ethical uses of hypnosis * smart ds, life extension, and nootropics * art exhibits and computer art * yoga and tai chi * procreative racial deconstruction * electronic music * dance club politics * bending spacetime with my penis * brainmachines * shamanism and ayahuasca * the war on ds Of course, I’m into in other stuff too 🙂 Anyway, that should give you all an idea of what sort of information you should be sending me, and keep within Jeff’s idea of topicality 🙂 THANX!!

DJ HELL (Gigolo Records; Munich, Germa ny) Bill Velin (Obscene/Brooklyn Beats/Satellite, NYC) Dr. Rendezvous ( EC Productions/Brooklyn Beats, NYC) Ever been cornered by one of those pe ople who are trying to tell you how much better things USED to be? Well DJ HELL is one of the people responsible for making Limelight legendary “back in the day” as he used to DJ there on a semi-regular basis. So maybe you co uld blame him. Like the rest of us; he is now older, wiser, more refined. While his roots always have been; and probably always will be; in punk (he started out as a punk DJ as a kid) he has applied that to house music to c reate a unique, hard-hitting sound. He has produced numerous records and ha s a number of compilation CD’s under his belt. His reputation is somewhat l egendary, so we feel very honored to have him with us this Friday. Bill V elin and Dr. Rendezvous are true purveyors of the New York underground scen e. Running the Brooklyn Beats events over the bridge as well as the one-off Obscene parties, these two command a loyal following of devoted clubbers. They be alternating on the decks, providing a tag team show that will make you quake in your pants and shit in your shoes. Doors 11 pm SHINE is lo cated at 285 West Broadway, at Canal st.

After the departure of Eitan, the decision when, how and where to throw next parties will be in the hands of Ran. NEVA will keep on going as long as we can.

From 7:00AM we’ll have an outdoor after party! Details will be provided at the party! Sound: At the marrocon lounge and again at the elf’s benefit, we did not enjoy the sound quality we wish to have at trance parties. This time we were assured that all the Mids will work well and the 8 subs will be throwing bass like it should. expect good sound! Djs: we know we said that the Djs will be determined by vote but… * Dj Sh.I.K.I.D – Our newest addition to Spiritual Beings.

#1893 (FWD) 8.9 NYC: No Dancing Allowed Tue, 31 Jul 2001 11:10:54 From: For Immediate release July 30, 2000 The Mishpucha Presents: NYC: NO DANCING ALLOWED An evening of film, dancing, and informed discussion PANEL OF NIGHTLIFE LEADERS AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO ADDRESS CONTROVERSIAL NYC CABARET LAWS Mishpucha, the non-profit NYC-based music community, will present NYC: NO DANCING ALLOWED, a point-blank discussion of the history, implementation, and ramifications of NYC’s controversial cabaret laws. A panel discussion with leading members of Manhattan’s nightlife, cultural, and legal communities will be preceded by a documentary on the hotly-contested laws, and will all be followed by a slamming (and legal) dance party. WHEN: Thursday August 9 WHERE: Makor, 35 West 67th Street COST: film/panel discussion 7:30pm- 10pm FREE dance party 10pm-1am $5 PANELISTS: Ethan Brown (New York Magazine), moderator Norman Siegel (former Executive Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union) John Davis (Body & Soul) David Rabin (New York Nightlife Association President) Robert Bookman (New York Nightlife Association Counsel) Robert Pritchard (Dance Liberation Front) Philip Rodriguez (Baktun) Nicky Siano (Legendary New York house DJ) FILM: No Dancing Allowed, by Juli Berg and Candice Corelli MUSIC: DJs Nicky Siano, Jeanne Hopper, special guest tba A vast coalition of NYC residents assert that dancing is an inalienable liberty in our collective pursuit of happiness and that these laws unfairly impinge upon our community’s civil rights. Indeed, dancing has no business being regulated by any governmental agency. With NYC: NO DANCING ALLOWED we call all members of NYC’s music, dance, nightlife, and civil rights communities to come together to learn more about these laws and, in this all-important election year, map out a course of action to either amend or repeal these unreasonably prohibitive laws. SCHEDULE: 7:30 – 8:00 pm: NYC filmmakers Juli Berg and Candace Corelli will present a portion of their upcoming documentary No Dancing Allowed, featuring interviews with local artists, politicians, and promoters. Following the film Julie and Candice will be on hand to take questions. Contact Info: XLS at interport.net; 212-349-9269 8:00 – 10:00 pm: Panel discussion with the city’s leading legal, cultural, and political experts on the cabaret laws who have experienced the effects of its enforcement by the Giuliani administration. 10:00pm – 1:00 am NICKY SIANO takes the decks for a tour through classic New York house, kicking off the dance party, followed by JEANNIE HOPPER who brings her Liquid Sound Lounge, heard on WBAI every Saturday night, to Makor. Plus, a special guest will be performing for the last hour of the night. PANEL PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE: ROBERT BOOKMAN is the New York Nightlife Association’s legal counsel. ETHAN BROWN is an editor at New York Magazine and actively covers New York City nightlife issues. He will be moderating the panel. JOHN DAVIS is a British promoter who arrived in NYC in 1995 and started the now world-renowned Body & Soul in 1996 with DJ/Producer Francois K. NORMAN SIEGEL is a committed civil rights activist who was formerly the Executive Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union and is currently running for the office of Public Advocate. ROBERT PRITCHARD is co-founder of the Dance Liberation Front which has staged innovative protests against the cabaret laws, including doing the Hokey-Pokey at City Hall and a conga line march through the streets of the Lower East Side. DAVID RABIN is currently serving as the President of the New York Nightlife Association and is owner of Lotus, Union Bar and Spa. NICKY SIANO is an NYC DJ, producer, and house music pioneer who has performed at renowned clubs for over 30 years including The Loft, The Roundtable, Studio 54, and the Gallery, which he partly owned. He helped invent the classic ’70s house music sound and helped Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan establish their DJ careers. MISHPUCHA is a non-profit music industry community of over 100 record label people, artists, DJs, promoters, managers and writers who champion innovative music and encourage music activism from the music industry. Contact Information for The Mishpucha: ADAM SHORE adamshore at hotmail 212-387-9155 ANDY GENSLER NYCandyg at aol 718-789-4404 Contact information for Makor: BRICE ROSENBLOOM, Director of Music Programming Brice.Rosenbloom at makor.org 212 601-1009 THIS IS WHY IT’S ILLEGALTO DANCE IN MOST PLACES IN NEW YORK CITY The city began a system in Prohibition-era 1926 to control entertainment in clubs. All clubs were required to obtain a cabaret license to operate, which remains a labyrinthine process controlled entirely by the city. It’s widely believed that the city was legislating in the view that the origins of jazz music and dancing in black culture were a moral degradation. The law states that an establishment must be licensed if the club features three or more musicians, or if any of the instruments is percussion or brass, or if there is three or more people moving in synchronized fashion. Nightclubs are also restricted in zoning, meaning cabaret licenses are only granted to venues in major commercial centers, industrial or manufacturing districts, effectively making it illegal to dance in any residential area. The permit process is long, costly and uncertain. Approval is required from the Department of Consumer Affairs, the NYC Planning Department, the Fire Department, Buildings Departments and local community boards, among others, all of whom work independently from each other. In the late eighties, after a decade long legal battle, the courts declared the three musician rule unconstitutional and accepted live music in zones where bars and restaurants are permitted. But nothing was done to lift the stigma of dancing. In 1997 Rudy Guiliani created the multi-agency Nightclub Enforcement Task Force to crack down on clubs as part of his “Quality of Life” campaign. Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington goes on the record stating, “We’ve been closing down these little buckets of blood (nightclubs) for about three years and paralyzing them.” Coney Island High, Baby Jupiter, Hogs & Heifers, Vain, Rivertown Lounge and Lakeside Lounge are just a few of the places that have been fined or padlocked for illegal dancing. A survey by Audience Research and Analysis reports that approximately 24.3 million people come to NYC’s music and dance clubs per year, exceeding the combined attendance of Broadway theaters, city sports teams, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Empire State Building-while contributing $2.9 billion to the city’s economy and providing over 27,000 jobs. There are currently over 5,000 liquor licenses in the five boroughs but less than 300 places where patrons can legally dance. That’s 300 places for 24.3 million people. You are not allowed to dance to the jukebox or DJ at your local bar. You are not allowed to move to the rock band or jazz act at your neighborhood club. Dancing is a right, not some unsafe or dangerous action that need be licensed or regulated by a legislative body. Indeed the act of dancing is simply the physical expression of emotion, which much like verbal expression, need not ever be controlled or limited. This does not mean we don’t support strict compliance with all fire safety codes, capacity numbers, noise ordinances, alcohol and d laws, only that the act of dancing never be restrained in any manner. NYC has made an invaluable contribution to global music culture with its renowned music, musicians, and clubs – from jazz to disco, salsa to house, rock to hip-hop. Dance music culture and nightlife has brought untold millions of dollars to the city and its coffers. It is wrong that the cabaret laws stifle these cultural treasures, inhibit artistic expressions, and discourage the economic development of New York City nightlife.

#1902 (FWD) the road rave Mon, 06 Aug 2001 11:37:49 From: From: “controlled folly” vajrastar at prodigy.net the road rave Sun, 5 Aug 2001 17:04:42 web msnbc/news/606564.asp The Road Rave A generation travels the world in search of the perfect party By Lorraine Ali NEWSWEEK Aug. 6 issue – Here’s a quick quiz to see if you’re ready for a rave vacation. Does dancing in the blazing Mediterranean sun at high noon in a cotton-candy-pink wig, vinyl chaps and melting body paint sound appealing? Is a sleepless week filled with pounding house music and disco “foam rooms” your idea of a getaway? Do you like the idea of spending an intimate evening under swaying palms with a crowd of 5,000, sweating to the sounds spun by DJs Sasha and Digweed? If you answered yes to any of the above, you may be ready to join the estimated i 1.5 million visitors who will flock to the Spanish island of Ibiza this year between June and September to hit all-night dance clubs and get roasted at booming beach parties to sets by such superstar DJs as Fatboy Slim, Paul Oakenfold and Moby. Or you could catch up with the 50,000 who will attend the Fulli Moon dance parties in Thailand this winter, or visit London’s infamous Gatecrashers party on New Year’s Eve. Then there are the year-round trance clubs in Goa, India, and the weeklong Love Parade in Berlin every July. The list goes on. IT’S ENOUGH TO KEEP any avid raver busy-and any caring parent terrified. After all, indiscriminate sex and ds are as synonymous with dance culture as shaved chests and tight T shirts, and doing either in a foreign country courts a whole new set of dangers. Despite the perils, the number of globe-trotting ravers is rising every year, creating a new breed of tour company specializing in “Adventure Travel Party Scene” packages. The leader in the field is BringItOn! Travel. Like Hiptrips and Experienceibiza, BringItOn is a largely Internet-based American company that caters to twentysomthing clubgoers. It operates under the motto “On the beach ’til 7 p.m. In the clubs ’til 9 a.m.” Dozens of European travel agencies, particularly in England and Germany, have been targeting club kids for more than a decade. Now America is jumping on the party plane, cashing in on the growing interest in electronic music and DJ culture. “They struck upon an important niche,” says Kenton Williams, 27, a software salesman who bought a package tour to Ibiza last year. “A lot of people in their 20s work very hard all year and want to guarantee that their vacation is gonna be absolutely happening. For a tour operator to say, ‘We’ve got what you are looking terms of top-notch music, top-notch clubbing, top-notch beaches …’ I mean, what more could you ask for?” The new agencies certainly know how to bait the hook. BringItOn’s rock-bottom, student Ibiza package runs $1,299, and that includes inside info on all the best clubs as well as a room for six nights and air fare (for $200 more, it will throw in a VIP ticket to the biggest party on the island and a disco bus shuttle from airport to beach to club). The company is now looking to lure twentysomthings to parties in Thailand; Whistler, British Columbia; and Berlin. “Potential travelers ask, ‘Are there gonna be crazy, naked girls there? Are the clubs going all night?’ ” says company founder Taariq Lewis, 27. “I say yes, and the answer is always ‘Good. Then I’m there’.” And the party line on party ds? “It’s up to them what they want to do,” says Lewis. “We make sure everyone gets insurance [which includes medical] and signs a waiver saying we’re not responsible for their behavior.” An estimated 1.5 million people will head to Ibiza, Spain, this year between June and September to hit all-night dance clubs and beach parties Once the party’s in motion, it’s easy for ravers to forget that d laws can be exceedingly harsh overseas. The U.S. State Department is quick to remind travelers that they can be sentenced to death for dealing large amounts of narcotics in Thailand, and it’s been reported that tourists can land in jail for a year if they’re found with more than seven tabs of ecstasy. Partygoers tend to gravitate to towns and islands accustomed to unin-hibited holiday behavior-but even these aren’t without risk. Ibiza has long been a liberal haven for decadent revelers-the drinking age is 16, and ecstasy is readily available there at $10 a tab, one third the going rate in New York. Since tourism makes up 80 percent of Ibiza’s gross domestic product, the conventional wisdom is that the government looks the other way. But even Ibiza has been trying to clean up its image, doubling its d-related arrests last year. Local hospitals, meanwhile, are left to deal with overdoses and the bad side effects of bootleg ds. “It doesn’t surprise me,” says Jeffrey Bernstein, a doctor at the Florida Poison Center in Miami. “If I walked into a South Beach club on any given night, I would venture to guess that 80 percent of the people are on ecstasy.” Many popular club ds, including ecstasy, can come in unpredictable doses. Hospitals near party-heavy areas of Thailand, such as the island of Phangnga, have special d-overdose wings. Yet the soul of a rave vacation is still the music. That’s what draws people in and helps forge a sense of community-whether it’s the sounds of commercial house music, the hypnotic draw of progressive trance or the frenetic beat of two-step garage. The holidaymakers love the booming, electronic party sounds supplied by DJs who travel on a circuit year-round, dropping into the newest hot vacation spot, wherever it may be. “It’s an international crowd and some drunk English lunatics,” says British DJ Fatboy Slim. “There is a certain magic and madness about it all.” To bottle that magic, promoters, record companies, clubs and travel agencies stay in tight contact. “There is always somthing happening,” says Lewis. “If I had enough manpower and resources, I could book these vacations year-round, with barely a slow spot between them. Then there are the up-and-coming places: Morocco, Iceland … It’s everywhere. Now all we have to do is keep up.” And hope the music never stops. With Brandon Walston

#1904 Giuliani continues to push seconal on “The City That Never Sleeps” Mon, 06 Aug 2001 12:59:22 From: From the NY Times: Now Playing in Clubland: Hard Times By MIREYA NAVARRO When Wetlands, a TriBeCa club famous for fostering the careers of quirky bands, announced this week that it was closing, music fans were devastated, but those in the industry were hardly surprised. The building on Hudson Street that houses the club was sold to a group that wants to convert the space into apartments, and Wetlands and its late-night revelers didn’t exactly fit into its plans. To club owners, it is a familiar situation. They say it has become harder for nightclubs to survive in New York because of steeply rising rents and changes in zoning that have allowed residents to move into areas that used to be the preserve of industry and business. With residential neighbors abhorring the same things clubs covet crowds, traffic, noise and with community boards exerting considerable influence on state and city licensing agencies these days, many areas of the city, especially downtown, are now virtually off limits. Other areas are willing to accept only clubs that open in existing nightclub space, owners say. “This is the toughest atmosphere for nightclubs in New York since Prohibition,” said Robert Bookman, the lawyer for the New York Nightlife Association, a group representing about 100 nightclubs. The city’s Department of Consumer Affairs, which issues cabaret licenses, says that 319 establishments hold licenses this year, including nightclubs, strip clubs and other businesses with dancing, like restaurants, down from 333 last year. Club owners say what is more telling is that fewer businesses even make it to the licensing stage because of the difficulties of finding a location. They note that the number of clubs remained virtually flat in recent years while the city itself was in a long period of economic growth. But if the nightclub industry is looking for sympathy, it will be hard pressed to find any in the city, where quality-of-life issues became one of the hallmarks of the Giuliani administration. The association of nightclubs said business became trickier in the early 1990’s, when new city and state legislation made it harder for a club to obtain a cabaret license for dancing or a state liquor license. One law has also empowered the local community boards to reject a club that wants to open within 500 feet of three existing businesses that serve liquor. “Residents and clubs just don’t mix,” said Madelyn Wils, the chairwoman of Community Board 1 in Lower Manhattan, which has successfully fought the openings of clubs. “Nine out of 10 times there are problems.” The Copacabana, the granddaddy of dance clubs in the city, exemplifies the struggle that club owners say is driving some of them away or out of business. In many ways, the Copacabana is in a category of its own. It has operated since 1940 (with a three-year hiatus in the 1970’s after its original owner died) in a business where 5 to 10 years is considered a healthy life span. And it has served up the same music for the past 20 years salsa and merengue in an industry that caters to the latest fad. But this year, the Copa became just another club pitted against the realities of the city’s real estate market. Its rather unglamorous neighborhood of car dealerships and parking lots near the Hudson River suddenly became more economically desirable. So after nine years on a block of low buildings on West 57th Street, the club was forced to move out last month to make way for two new office towers. John Juliano, who owns the Copa with two partners, said the search for a new home started about a year and a half ago after he was notified by the property’s new landlord that the club’s 10-year lease would be terminated early. The owners looked at more than 50 locations in spaces ranging from parking lots to the former Studio 54, which was tied up with the musical “Cabaret.” The search was restricted not only by residential encroachment, but also by the club’s needs. The owners wanted at least 25,000 square feet. After holding 10-year leases at two previous locations, this time they wanted a lease no shorter than 25 years. They settled for a 47,000- square-foot building at 570 West 34th Street, near 11th Avenue, that used to house offices. The Copacabana will reopen at the new site next summer. In the meantime, it has moved its live music to another club, Ohm, on West 22nd Street, four nights a week. “It’s been a nightmare,” said Glee Ballard, the Copa’s general manager. “The biggest problem is that you have to go to an area available for a cabaret and a liquor license and then you want a wide open space.” She said that the new spot, at a rent at least five times as high as the old site’s, is in an industrial area where the club “can’t annoy anybody.” “There’s no such thing as going to prestigious neighborhoods,” she said. “You can go there with a McDonald’s or a big department store, but clubs, no. Everybody acts as if entertainment is not desirable.” Deputy Police Commissioner Thomas Antenen, the department’s chief spokesman, said both the police and residents had become less tolerant of problems associated with clubs. “It’s not so much what happens in the clubs,” he said, “but the stuff that happens in the immediate areas: fights, people hanging out, making noise, maybe drinking.” Marty Arret, owner of the Latin Quarter on the Upper West Side, said that in his neighborhood, gentrification had drawn neighbors who opposed his club. The club, at one time known as Club Broadway, has a mostly Hispanic clientele and has been at the same spot for 20 years. “They call us and say, ‘Why don’t you go to the Bronx?’ ” he said. As it turns out, the Latin Quarter is shutting down on Aug. 31; its landlord decided to rent the space, on Broadway near West 96th Street, to a bank. Mr. Arret said he was looking for a new location but had found that most available places were going for at least double his current monthly rent of $25,000. David Rabin, who is the president of the New York Nightlife Association and an owner of Lotus, a supper club, said it took him three years to find a site for the club. Lotus opened about two years ago in a former strip club on West 14th Street, in the meatpacking district in Manhattan. Since then, he said, rents per square foot have more than tripled in what used to be “a block full of prostitutes and meatpackers.” Mr. Rabin said he spent $5,000 a week on security and faced constant police inspections. He said he was pursuing his next business deal in Las Vegas. Kathryn E. Freed, a city councilwoman who represents Lower Manhattan and has been a plaintiff in court cases against several clubs, played down the clubs’ concerns. She said clubs and residential neighbors coexisted peacefully in many parts of the city, usually because the clubs had made an effort to minimize any disturbance to the neighborhood. “Night life doesn’t have to be disruptive,” she said. Ms. Freed said there was still room for improvement. She said she favored tightening noise regulations and requiring waiting areas inside the clubs to eliminate the velvet rope crowds outside. Neighbors like Ms. Wils say noise is not the only problem; they cite alcohol, ds, lewd behavior and sometimes even shootings outside the clubs. In New York, as in other areas of the country, the rising popularity of Ecstasy and other illegal ds has drawn a police crackdown. Police officials said that in the past year and a half they had sought to close at least five major clubs for allowing the sale and use of so-called designer ds on and around their premises. George A. Grasso, deputy police commissioner for legal matters, called the problem a continuing concern, but said it was not necessarily worse than in past years. Club owners concede there are bad apples among them, but say the clubs need more police presence. In 1999, the nightclub association asked to hire off-duty uniformed police officers, as clubs do in other cities, but the Police Department declined. In a letter to the group, the department said the proposal was not “legally permissible” and could expose the city to “substantial additional risk of civil liability.” Mr. Bookman, the lawyer for the nightclub association, said the city’s world-famous reputation for night life was bound to erode unless zoning variances were reined in, the police helped out and there was “respect for the industry as a taxpaying industry.” According to a study by the night life association, the industry funnels close to $3 billion a year into the city’s economy. Mr. Juliano at the Copa said he regretted not having bought a building years ago. Now, he said, it would take $10 million to buy one and $5 million to renovate it. Even for the Copa, that is out of the question, he said. “Just don’t have the money.”

#1905 (FWD) Tunnel and Limelight up for auction Mon, 06 Aug 2001 16:55:47 From: Popular NYC nightclubs to be auctioned By Associated Press NEW YORK, August 6 – Two Manhattan nightclubs that have long been trouble spots with police and New York City officials will be auctioned, according to a published report. The clubs, the Tunnel and Limelight, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 13. Peter Gatien, who owns the troubled nightclubs, has said he is ready to end his years-long battle with City Hall. City officials have complained that the Tunnel is a magnet for ds and violence. In April, a 16-year-old patron was stabbed to death in a parking lot near the Tunnel. Two years ago, an 18-year-old died of a d overdose there. The Chelsea nightspot has become a central target in Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s aggressive nightclub enforcement effort. Before bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber ordered the auction sale, Gatien said in June that he was ready to sell the Tunnel privately and move on needing to pay off taxes he owes the state. Gatien’s debt includes more than $5.7 million in state taxes and $2 million in back rent. Gatien doesn’t own the buildings, but the court will sell the club’s names, leases, equipment and liquor licenses. web msnbc/local/wnbc/nbcb1w982qc.asp?cp11 If you get too many emails, then change your settings at egroups to be Digest Only (one big email a day) or Web Only (you can always get in to egroups)at groups.yahoo/mygroups?edit1groups.yahoo/mygroups?edit1 To join an “off-topic” list for the New York psy-trance community: groups.yahoo/subscribe/SpaceToTripOffNYCgroups.yahoo/sub scribe/SpaceToTripOffNYC

A reg ular at some of Europe’s trendiest “underground” clubs such as Cargo (Hoxto n, London), Rollercone’s sets have been described as; “combining a European sense of sophistication with the passion and soul of British house, all to pped off with a New York groove” – DJ Magazine.

As far back as 1988 with Paris Grey and Inner City he was responsible for bringing underground techno music to a more mainstream audience with tracks like Big Fun and Good Life. Yet even with Number One songs, gold and platinum records and dozens of world tours, Kevin Saunderson has always managed to stay true to his underground roots with projects like E Dancer and the Reese Project.

A favorite of all the big jocks! -Matt Licata (Be Yourself at Vinyl w/Danny Teneglia, S.O.L.I.S., Gatecrasher-Limelight) With DJ spots at the famous Be Yourself night with Danny Teneglia and an opportunity to open up for Judge Jules at Limelight’s Gatecrasher night Matt is truly the perfect DJ to kick start the night. His set’s are meaningful and will take you to another level. -DJ Mantra (Rhythm-Addiction, Global Spinoff 2001, Dubcoast Music) The winner of Global Spinoff 2001, a contest sponsored by Mixer Magazine, Clubplanet, Limelight, and Global Beats. Hundreds of DJ’s entered and he was picked among the masses to profiled in Mixer Magazine and to rock the Limelight on Friday August 10th. If you were there you know what we’re talking about! Check out the Global Beats DJ contest section on the mainpage of Clubplanet! Lower Level: -Alan Sax (Digital Domain, Touched By A DJ, David Sigmund Entertainment) Here is a veteran of the NYC scene. Alan has done it all from DJ-ing to production work to being music director at several of NYC’s largest clubs. And with bookings at events ranging from the Monkey parties, the Countdown series, several one offs and even recently up in Canada, it was only logical that we have him come work his early morning magic. Truly a NYC favorite! -Rus Deep (Union, Touched By A DJ) If you know Rus then you know his dedication to keeping the NYC underground alive. His style is constantly evolving to reflect his inner passion for music. His sets always take the listener on a journey. Tribal house fades into techno. Techno melts into trance. Trance blends back into house. No matter what, the music is always dark, sexy and percussive. Expect the unexpected when Rus Deep is behind the decks… -DJ Lu (Trancelvania Sounds, DJ Central) A former Bad ass of the massive techno and rave scene in the early 90’s. He has played with everyone from Frankie Bones, DJ Dan, Scott Richmond of Satellite Records and many more! Lu is a true product of electronic music itself. His style is that of different blends of trance and house nowadays. His vision is clear about the lagging New York club scene. It’s time to jump start it out of it’s flat lining spirit. -Sanjay (Rhythm Addiction) With partner DJ Mantra they founded Rhythm Addiction itself to help the dying club scene. A DJ who carefully crafts every set to perfection and it will show when he takes the decks. Look out for much more from Sanjay and co. in the near future! Directions: Directly opposite the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Take the 1 or 9 train to 28th Street. E, C, or A train to 34th Street (Penn Station) and walk six blocks south to the location.

Ok, here’s the deal; To everyone who went to Speeed thispast Friday, I want to ask your help if possible. Towards the end of the evening I was downstairs dancing and I loaned out my pair of blue Photonlights. The lights got connected to apair of glowsticks (I believe they were green and orange) and from there they disappeared. I am truly hoping that someone took them by mistake. Anyway, Ivery very much want them back and I wanted to ask everyone who was there if they knew who might have taken them. I will offer a small yet cool reward tothe person that places them back in my hands. or call me at 718-321-0686. I thank you for your attention. Peace n Cheese Mark

#1958 Wed, 12 Sep 2001 13:05:07 Wed, 12 Sep 2001 13:05:07 (FWD) Councelling advice From: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 23:24:05 From: Phil Lukeman psl1 at SCIVIS.ACF.nyu Councelling advice Everyone, Over the next few days and weeks some of us may have to comfort people who have had friends injured or killed in todays tragedy. Especially in the first few days of this you may have to councel and give support to people who are still deeply traumatized. Here are reccomendations from the center for mental health services to careworkers when councelling major disaster victims. Feel free to forward this to people. also feel free to discard this information if you feel it is uncessary, but I for one need this kind of advice when dealing with an event of this magnitude. I wish you all peace and strength Phil A Service of CMHS For Mental Health and Human Services Workers in Major Disasters DISASTER COUNSELING SKILLS Disaster counseling involves both listening and guiding. Survivors typically benefit from both talking about their disaster experiences and being assisted with problem-solving and referral to resources. The following section provides “nuts-and-bolts” suggestions for workers. ESTABLISHING RAPPORT Survivors respond when workers offer caring eye contact, a calm presence, and are able to listen with their hearts. Rapport refers to the feelings of interest and understanding that develop when genuine concern is shown. Conveying respect and being nonjudgmental are necessary ingredients for building rapport. ACTIVE LISTENING Workers listen most effectively when they take in information through their ears, eyes, and “extrasensory radar” to better understand the survivor’s situation and needs. Some tips for listening are: Allow silence – Silence gives the survivor time to reflect and become aware of feelings. Silence can prompt the survivor to elaborate. Simply “being with” the survivor and their experience is supportive. Attend nonverbally – Eye contact, head nodding, caring facial expressions, and occasional “uh-huhs” let the survivor know that the worker is in tune with them. Paraphrase – When the worker repeats portions of what the survivor has said, understanding, interest, and empathy are conveyed. Paraphrasing also checks for accuracy, clarifies misunderstandings, and lets the survivor know that he or she is being heard. Good lead-ins are: “So you are saying that . . . ” or “I have heard you say that . . . ” Reflect feelings – The worker may notice that the survivor’s tone of voice or nonverbal gestures suggests anger, sadness, or fear. Possible responses are, “You sound angry, scared etc., does that fit for you?” This helps the survivor identify and articulate his or her emotions. Allow expression of emotions – Expressing intense emotions through tears or angry venting is an important part of healing; it often helps the survivor work through feelings so that he or she can better engage in constructive problem-solving. Workers should stay relaxed, breathe, and let the survivor know that it is OK to feel. SOME DO’S AND DON’T’S Do say: * These are normal reactions to a disaster. * It is understandable that you feel this way. * You are not going crazy. * It wasn’t your fault, you did the best you could. * Things may never be the same, but they will get better, and you will feel better. Don’t say: * It could have been worse. * You can always get another pet/car/house. * It’s best if you just stay busy. * I know just how you feel. * You need to get on with your life. The human desire to try to fix the survivor’s painful situation or make the survivor feel better often underlies the preceding “Don’t say” list. However, as a result of receiving comments such as these, the survivor may feel discounted, not understood, or more alone. It is best when workers allow survivors their own experiences, feelings, and perspectives. PROBLEM-SOLVING Disaster stress often causes disorganized thinking and difficulty with planning. Some survivors react by feeling overwhelmed and become either immobilized or unproductively overactive. Workers can guide survivors through the following problem-solving steps to assist with prioritizing and focusing action. * Identify and define the problem Describe the problems/challenges you are facing right now. Selecting one problem is helpful, identify it as the most immediate, and focus on it first. The problem should be relatively solvable, as an immediate success is important in bringing back a sense of control and confidence. * Assess the survivor’s functioning and coping How have you coped with stressful life events in the past? How are you doing now? Through observation, asking questions, and reviewing the magnitude of the survivor’s problems and losses, the worker develops an impression of the survivor’s capacity to address current challenges. Based on this assessment-the worker may make referrals, point out coping strengths, and facilitate the survivor’s engagement with social supports. The worker may also seek consultation from medical, psychological, psychiatric, or disaster relief resources. * Evaluate available resources Who might be able to help you with this problem? What resources/options might help? Explore existing sources of assistance and support such as immediate and extended family, friends, church community, health care providers, etc. and how the survivor might obtain their help. Refer the survivor to the appropriate relief agencies and assess if the survivor is able to make the calls and complete the required applications. Assist with accessing resources when necessary. * Develop and implement a plan What steps will you take to address this problem? Encourage the survivor to say aloud what he or she plans to do and how. Offer to check-in with the survivor in a few days to see how it is going. If the worker has agreed to perform a task for the survivor, it is very important to follow through. Workers should promise only what they can do, not what they would like to do. A WORD OF CAUTION When confronted with a disaster survivor’s seemingly overwhelming needs, workers can feel the understandable impulse to help in every way possible. Workers may become over involved and do too much for the survivor. This is usually not in the best interest of the survivor. When survivors are empowered to solve their own problems, they feel more capable, competent, and able to tackle the next challenge. Workers should clearly understand the scope of their role in the disaster relief effort and recognize that empowering survivors is different from doing for them. CONFIDENTIALITY A helping person is in a privileged position. Helping a survivor in need infers a sharing of problems, concerns, and anxieties-sometimes with intimate details. This special sharing cannot be done without a sense of trust, built upon mutual respect, and the explicit understanding that all discussions are confidential and private. No case should be discussed elsewhere without the consent of the person being helped (except in an extreme emergency when it is judged that the person will harm himself or others). It is only by maintaining the trust and respect of the survivor that the privilege of helping can continue to be exercised. My messages.to email account is behaving badly.

#1962 Thu, 13 Sep 2001 11:31:35 Thu, 13 Sep 2001 11:31:35 (FWD) Hip-Hop Group Yanks Album Cover Depicting WTC Blast From: web artbell/letters21.html Hip-Hop Group Yanks Album Cover Depicting WTC Blast September 12, 2001 9:17 pm By Sue Zeidler LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Striking a macabre note, a new album cover by hip-hop band The Coup whose music has a strong anti-capitalist bent had until recently depicted the World Trade Center exploding, the band’s label said on Wednesday. “We changed the artwork as soon as we saw what had happened,” said Daria Kelly, director of sales for 75 Ark, the band’s label. Kelly said the picture, which eerily shows group member “Boots” Riley holding a detonator in front of the exploding towers, was yanked from the San Francisco-based company’s Web site at (web 75ark) by 9:30 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, hours after two hijacked airliners actually smashed into the World Trade Center’s twin towers and brought them down, possibly causing thousands of deaths. Kelly said the artwork was done about two months ago for the band’s upcoming album, “Party Music,” which features a single called “5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO” and is due to hit stores on November 6. “We were going to print them this week. Thank goodness we hadn’t yet printed them,” she said, adding that the new album cover would probably just bear the band’s logo. Meanwhile, the rock band Dream Theater and its record company, EastWest, are contemplating whether to withdraw that group’s new album, “Live Scenes From NY,” because of similar cover art. That album, released Tuesday, depicts the World Trade Center towers and the Statue of Liberty engulfed in flames and perched atop an apple draped in barbed wire. “It’s an unfortunate coincidence, an eerie coincidence,” said Gihan Salem, a spokeswoman for EastWest, an imprint of Elektra Entertainment under AOL Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Music Group. She said a decision on whether to recall the album would be made in a day or two. While the 75 Ark label quickly moved to delete the World Trade Center image showing explosions in the towers at about the same level as the actual blasts the picture has begun to circulate on the Internet and generate a lot of reaction. It was featured Wednesday on lifestyle-culture Web site at (web ammocity) accompanied by the following message: “The album cover for hip-hop group ‘The Coup’ manages to even outweird the quotes from Nostradamus doing the email rounds today.” Kelly said she had not received any e-mails about the cover, noting it hadn’t been circulated by the label very much. “We just started press about a month ago,” she said describing the Oakland, Calif.-band’s music as focusing on the “destruction of corporate America.” The band, considered among the more overtly political rap bands, was formed in the early 1990s. Lead rapper/producer Boots Riley, whose real name is Raymond Riley, was involved in political activism before becoming a musician, according to music industry sources. Released in 1993, the Coup’s debut album “Kill My Landlord” was a highly charged blend of leftist resistance and 70s funk, which received wide critical praise.

For some time now my fall schedule included the program: Soul Hunting & Contemporary Shamanism Finding the Lost Pieces Of Self This falls program will now take on a deeper meaning. Due to the events of September 11 I have expanded this program by adding a free evening seminar. Below is a description of this program, as well as a local New York City phone number to call for details. Please help us spread the word about this opportunity by circulating this email to individuals on your email list whether or not they live in New York City area. Eventually it will find it’s way to persons in NYC who are seeking assistance on dealing with trauma and loss. Compared to the scale of this tragedy this is a small effort… but it will help in promoting healing in the New York City community. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at: Alix at TranceDance. With Passion & Respect, Wilbert Alix Soul Hunting & Contemporary Shamanism Finding The Lost Pieces of Self web Trancedance/index.php?10006118907&pageshowretreats.php&id 2001000127967 Thursday, October 4 Time: 8pm Location Broom Studio 425 Broom St #4F (Soho) (between Broadway & Lafayette) New York City Cost: Free to the NYC public For information call: (800) 260-9984 (Box 44980) Soul Hunting Finding The Lost Pieces of Self Throughout our life we are confronted by overwhelming situations through which we lose vital aspects of our life force, or power. Losing our power is the same as losing a piece of our soul, and losing too much of our soul diminishes our vitality in life. Eventually we lose perspective. The term “shamanic” means… “the ability to see through the dark”… to find perspective again. The Soul Hunting Ritual will reconnect you with the lost pieces of your soul. Participants frequently report that their Soul Hunting journeys are among the most rewarding events of their lives. This free evening program will cover the spiritual principles of shamanism, and an explanation of how Soul Hunting is used to heal severe physical, mental and emotional trauma. Contemporary Shamanism “Great art educates before it is understood. Shamanism is based on the principles of nature… and there is no greater art than nature.” What can ancient shamanism teach our contemporary culture? What are the personal and societal implications of soul loss? Is there a link between our struggles to maintain our natural environment and our lack of understanding regarding spiritual wisdom. And more importantly, how can we access this wisdom? Shamanism exists on every continent on this planet… a testament to it’s power and authenticity. Within each individual shamanic culture existed principles common to the others, such as Trance Dance as a mthod for “duplicating nature”, and Soul Hunting as a way to heal the damages that we inflict upon nature and each other. The Contemporary Shamanism Workshop will explore 3 “neo-shamanic’ (new shamanism) approaches to accessing the deeper wisdom within nature so vital to shamanic lore. By blending these 3 modern ritual approaches we can explore the many sides of shamanism, as well as understand how this ancient wisdom applies to modern ecology, medical science, psychology… and our everyday life.

#1969 Tue, 18 Sep 2001 10:59:29 Tue, 18 Sep 2001 10:59:29 (FWD) Peace for All! From: Mon, 17 Sep 2001 22:02:11 From: “SynthSadhus” info at synthetic-sadhus Peace for All! Hi to all, We would like to first share with all of you our deep sadness and true bitterness for the monstrous and hideous acts that have been committed against democracy, therefore against freedom, this past Tuesday. We hope that all of you and your beloved ones had the chance to escape last week’s devastating attack! We mourn and pray for peace like everyone, but we decided to go on with our September 28 gathering, as a SYMBOL of celebration for freedom, peace and tolerance; we believe that nobody better than the trance community symbolizes a movement of people that resist against oppression, dictatorial rules of beliefs and violence, therefore we believe that it is especially important that we all gather and unite, so that we can dance against any kind of fanatism, religious, political or social. Oppression and violence are the worst enemies of any society and we have to refuse intimidation, we have to stand up and do our part, by expressing our feelings and beliefs of constructive energies, this is our only way to manifest and we will carry on… We will observe a minute of silence during the event’s night to pay respect to the thousands who lost their lives and we will also DONATE a symbolic dollar from EACH ticket to the New York Red Cross, this will be a way to show our support for FREEDOM… We will also have some extra security, carefully chosen by us, in order to assure you a safe environment… By gathering, we are showing our strength, union as always been a symbol of support to one another and guided by music, one of the most intense form of art and human expression, we will prove that our concerns are the ones of culturally awakened, socially conscious and positively strengthened beings; so yes, our friends, whoever you are,Israelis, Japanese, Russians, Europeans, Americans, North Africans…. We are all Humans, and it is not the color of our skin, or the God in which we believe or not, that will separate us… Archetypes are very dangerous, so let’s avoid any of those… We are the Human family, so let’s ! not judge any races, nor any religions, let’s not accept that few confused and fanatic souls bring us to hate an entire community… Let’s preach tolerance and not our interpretation of Justice, Let’s do EVERYTHING in our power to avoid a war…. So much hatred and destruction can never be a solution…. Let’s unite and therefore protect each other from our sometimes very destructive instincts… The truth shall set us free…. Each artist announced on the flyer will be there, we had confirmation, and through uniting our different backgrounds, we symbolizes universality… We insist that you join us on Friday September 28, to show that love IS universal and that hate will not triumph… Humanity has always grown through heavy symbolism and what more than a gathering of peaceful, love filled children of the light can symbolize our beliefs of deliverance for a better world… With Love, Light and PEACE!!! The Sadhus

Thanks to everybody for their kind words of comfort regarding my cousin Joon Koo. -betty Plexi’s special guest Trendroid have been breaking the charts with “Ignition/Hausjam”, the first release on Twilo Records. “Trendroid’s sound intersects with tribal-tech club tracks coming from the likes of Futureshock, Steve Lawler, and Bedrock.

DJ Storm from Milwaukee is making a rare NYC appearance, bringing us his hard, pounding, psychedelic trance a subtle blend of Mozart and being ass raped by a jack hammer. Don’t worry, they’ll be a chillout lounge as well. After the first time DJ Storm hit NYC, you wouldn’t believe what people were saying!! So here’s your chance to hear the craziest DJ to come out of the midwest since Deadly Buddha. If you were lucky enough to catch him the last time, you know what I’m talking about. You don’t want to miss this!! Thursday, September 27th NY, NY FREE psychedelic trance party DJ STORM (Psychedelic Trance Liberation Front) DJ Sh.I.K.I.D.

#1993 Thu, 27 Sep 2001 10:38:34 Thu, 27 Sep 2001 10:38:34 (FWD) tuesday party info From: From: XDoOdLBugX at aol Wed, 26 Sep 2001 19:37:38 tuesday party info hey everyone!!! its serena just wanted to thank everyone who came out to jarrod’s lounge last night, we had a smaller turn out than last tuesday, yet at the same time i saw alot of new faces who didnt come the first night, and there was still alot of good energy and lots of dancing!!!! i think the reason why less people came is because last night there was a $3 cover charge to get in. I myself am completely poor, and even though the cover was only $3, i can understand why it turned some peolple away….money is really tight right now….. but the reason why i started this party was not to make a profit, yet instead it was created to bring everyone together where we can laugh and dance and smile….. therefore…. were gonna get rid of the cover charge. So next week i invite everyone to come out and dance and celebrate….free of charge, the way it should be!! so come and show your love and support!!! Shai and vitalik will be spinning and guillaume will be doing visuals….. oh and for those of you that dont drink alchohol (like me)..jarrods lounge has tons of non-alchoholic frozen concoctions, pina coladas and daqiuri’s ( the strawberry colada is to die for!!!) and also friut punches, fresh juices and of course redbull…so enjoy!!!! ok…lots of love everyone!!! and thank you! hugs and kisses, serena

#1997 Mon, 1 Oct 2001 12:06:17 Mon, 1 Oct 2001 12:06:17 (FWD) Stolen Artwork From: From: OggMod13 at aol Sat, 29 Sep 2001 11:26:29 Stolen Artwork Could you please post this to the group? Thanks, Mark Hey Everyone! I hope all is well in your individual worlds. All would be well in mine if somthing stupid had not happened last night at AMIZURA. At the very end of the night I was chilling out waiting to help get the projection team home, when a heated exchange occurred by the main entrance. It seems that some friggin cheeseball decided to take some of the beautiful paintings that were hanging at the club. Note: the security did nothing to stop that. I saw how upset the artist was. I dont think that I even know him, but man oh man do I understand how that could hurt. I would like to ask if anyone can help re-unite the artist with his work. Does anyone know who took them? Did anyone see anything? I would like to say that if the person responsible for taking them could be so mature as to return them, I promise not to snap them in two, so long as they are returned promptly and in the same condition that they were “found”. Now, I must say that I certainly hope that the missing! artwork does not go the way of my lost Blue Lights, so, Please, help if you can. Do the right thing, stay anonymous, whatever, just help if you can. For some strange reason, I feel really bad for the guy and want to help him out. Thanks Mark Lorenz

#2003 Thu, 4 Oct 2001 11:21:23 Thu, 4 Oct 2001 11:21:23 Jeff is back From: Jeff finally took Brainmachines back from me. So now he is the owner of this list. At this point Jeff seems to have four trance lists (elfreehab, brainmachines, machinelf, and safetydance) so I’m not sure what he is going to do with this one. You’ll have to ask Jeff. Anyway, I might wrap up my last edition of web sausage” and may occaisionally post events, but other than that, I’m done running this list. Please send any questions or subscription requests directly to Jeff. If you are a promoter, please continue to send me information on events, as I do run other lists, including the private psy-trance I have been running for almost three years. I think that’s it. THANX!!

#2006 Thu, 4 Oct 2001 12:49:20 Thu, 04 Oct 2001 12:49:19 Re: brain Jeff is back I think everybody should take a step back and give Mark a big round of applause! As you know when I was jailed and then penniless and homeless I entrusted Mark to running the lists. I am no longer facing jail time for my summer exploits. It’s just a ticket and I will fight that. Maybe even work with the NYPD on a program, set up the Photosonix 505 audio stress reducer in the jails, who knows. But lesson learned: DO NOT SQUAT and PARTY at the same time. I have no idea what’s going to happen with all the lists, but I think having only 2 or 3 is better. Basically, brainmachines is events and news to the general public (elfreehab became machinelf and is getting folded back in to brainmachines) safetydance is to people that I know personally thed is a psy-trance religion/social club run with mark and costs $35 to join and you have to either identify yourself to me or mark (now is a great time – besides way cool trance inducing events, ski season is coming up and we are mobilizing again with a house in the Poconos. To join the d go to paypal and send $35 to, It’s a one time fee, and we have once again a great system at our disposal (but donating to the undertaker Wylie is smiled upon) the final details are not sorted out but the net net is that we decided that the owner and the moderator will always be different people.

#2035 Mon, 22 Oct 2001 15:09:36 Haha The Kool Aid got burnt So now those of you who attended Burning Kool Aid d benefit at the penthouse trance party Friday will agree with me… that is the phattest location for a party, ever. I challenge anyone to wring that much fun for $5, ever. Many thanks to Wylie to pulling it off. THIS HAS BEEN A WYLIE TRANCE MISSION!! I got to be the elfin Hugh Hefner of trance, with a bathrobe outfit, ears, and a black marble bath nest with running water. The only thing that was remiss was that there were no naked people in the bathroom. Dror, SHAIKID, Vitalik, Tony, Kate, Akin and I all had a great time spinning. Touch’s SEAN HALL even showed up!! Many thanks to Andrew Thorn from for bringing great music. The drummers in the chillout, the meowing people perched around on ledges, the rubber RATS everywhere Some BTS kid named Jeff (Muff’s sidekick) dared to try to get in, we practically rolled him down the stairs. I forgot to thank him for showing up, so that we could kick him out. The roof was amazing. Wylie’s old timer roomate tripped for the first time in over 25 years – and the last time was a freakout. This time, in the right set and setting, the genie came out of the bottle. He wept for the WTC victims but was at peace finally. We will be using this space often through the winter. This is all a warmup for Halloween… the VW van will be done up like the pied piper with a big church organ, and everyone will be gathered together with rat masks, and head to Frying Pan. After the police cleared people out at 9am we painted ourselves blue and did body paint silohouttes on the wall. The Omnitribe party was good – we were still coated in blue paint. Ibogaine from Denmark was good. Angel’s party was busted by 5am; Wylie had rented out his speakers to him, out in Greenpoint, but Wylie came through AGAIN and had an afterparty at his house – with IBOGAINE!! on the house system. If you guys want to see more of this, help by joining the d by sending $25 by going to paypal THANKS!!

I recommend the latter; i will be there tomorrow tuesday at 9:15pm: DOG RUN is playing at City Cinemas’ VILLAGE EAST theatre 2nd Ave. & 12th St. showtimes for Mon-Thu are 12:05 PM, 2:25, 4:40, 7:00, 9:15. You can see the trailer at web dogrunthemovie order tickets in advance at 777-FILM, or at web moviefone/showtimes/movie.adp?movieid9153 Check out the RAVE review below from TV Guide! Thanks for your support! See you at the movie! love, ze’ev “DOG RUN” by Frank Lovece (4.5/5 stars!) tvguide/movies/database/ShowMovie.asp?MI42721 A powerful, true-to-low-life tale of East Village squatters and junkies, and the living, breathing and often very young lives behind those labels. This semi-improvisational first feature makes the similar milieu of Broadway’s Rent look like the false, glammed-up romanticism it is. Shot with down-and-dirty naturalism on some of the most desperate streets in the country, let alone New York City, and featuring a largely non-professional supporting cast that includes real-life teenage runaways, this is a slice of Manhattan neo-realism that’s every bit as potent as THE BICYCLE THIEF. Dread-headed Eddie (co-writer Brian Marc) and soft-spoken Miles (Craig DuPlessis) meet in New Orleans after escaping truly abusive households: Eddie ran from a Michigan trailer park where his alcoholic father would pay off gambling debts with his pubescent daughter; Miles from a Tennessee doctor-dad and an emotionally evil “step-bitch” stepmother. They travel to New York as couriers for a dilettante d dealer (Gary Cunningham) who desires a trial-run transaction with a bigger dealer (Lisa Cork-Twiss) but who winds up stranding them there after a minor snag. With virtually no cash, Eddie and Miles drift to Tompkins Square Park, a longtime gathering place for runaways and others who “squat” in the nearby abandoned buildings, fixing them up piecemeal over the course of months and even years to various levels of habitability. These street youngsters run the gamut, from Keane-eyed kids foraging for the food their junkie parents don’t give them, to hardened hustlers who think nothing of viciously mugging and burglarizing their neighbors. Eddie takes up with a voluptuous 16-year-old squatter, Tara (Lisa Ristorucci), who starts him on the road to heroin; the laconic and literary Miles finds refuge in NYU student Rachel (Elizabeth Horsburgh), who likes the taste of bohemian life. The two friends’ paths diverge and come together in an utterly natural, double-helix of loyalty and for-old-times’-sake closeness that becomes mired in burgeoning differences and the demands of addiction and pride. Marc and director-cowriter D. Ze’ev Gilad began with a fictional blueprint, then spent time with the street kids, many of whom the filmmakers say worked for food. Combining their improvisational scenes with scripted material, the filmmakers crafted a seamless, subtly sophisticated work in which barely perceptible, organic shifts in camerawork and photographic styles move the film beyond being simply “documentary-like.” And no tract, this. For all the casual terribleness it records, it is entertainmethe characters are real and fleshed-out, and we care about what happens to them.

Look for an email from Angel, who deserves a great space after his busted birthday party last Saturday. And on Tuesday afternoon – October 30 – wylie needs help with decorations and the van for the Halloween parade and the Frying Pan. And on Halloween night, Wednesday, Wylie needs a lighting person and fog machine for the van. He has a small budget. Everybody get a rat outfit, you’ll get reduced admission. Flyers are coming out tomorrow. Let’s all support mad and crazy Wylie – the more we give, the more he will give, and we will all never have to go without.

Feel free to call me at 212-995-1113. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Love, Ze’ev DOG RUN reviewed by Frank Lovece (4.5/5 stars!) tvguide/movies/database/ShowMovie.asp?MI42721 A powerful, true-to-low-life tale of East Village squatters and junkies, and the living, breathing and often very young lives behind those labels. This semi-improvisational first feature makes the similar milieu of Broadway’s Rent look like the false, glammed-up romanticism it is. Shot with down-and-dirty naturalism on some of the most desperate streets in the country, let alone New York City, and featuring a largely non-professional supporting cast that includes real-life teenage runaways, this is a slice of Manhattan neo-realism that’s every bit as potent as THE BICYCLE THIEF. Dread-headed Eddie (co-writer Brian Marc) and soft-spoken Miles (Craig DuPlessis) meet in New Orleans after escaping truly abusive households: Eddie ran from a Michigan trailer park where his alcoholic father would pay off gambling debts with his pubescent daughter; Miles from a Tennessee doctor-dad and an emotionally evil “step-bitch” stepmother. They travel to New York as couriers for a dilettante d dealer (Gary Cunningham) who desires a trial-run transaction with a bigger dealer (Lisa Cork-Twiss) but who winds up stranding them there after a minor snag. With virtually no cash, Eddie and Miles drift to Tompkins Square Park, a longtime gathering place for runaways and others who “squat” in the nearby abandoned buildings, fixing them up piecemeal over the course of months and even years to various levels of habitability. These street youngsters run the gamut, from Keane-eyed kids foraging for the food their junkie parents don’t give them, to hardened hustlers who think nothing of viciously mugging and burglarizing their neighbors. Eddie takes up with a voluptuous 16-year-old squatter, Tara (Lisa Ristorucci), who starts him on the road to heroin; the laconic and literary Miles finds refuge in NYU student Rachel (Elizabeth Horsburgh), who likes the taste of bohemian life. The two friends’ paths diverge and come together in an utterly natural, double-helix of loyalty and for-old-times’-sake closeness that becomes mired in burgeoning differences and the demands of addiction and pride. Marc and director-cowriter D. Ze’ev Gilad began with a fictional blueprint, then spent time with the street kids, many of whom the filmmakers say worked for food. Combining their improvisational scenes with scripted material, the filmmakers crafted a seamless, subtly sophisticated work in which barely perceptible, organic shifts in camerawork and photographic styles move the film beyond being simply “documentary-like.” And no tract, this. For all the casual terribleness it records, it is entertainmethe characters are real and fleshed-out, and we care about what happens to them.

#2051 Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:13:36 Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:13:36 There are TWO afterparties after Synthetic Sadhus There are TWO afterparties after Synthetic Sadhus. Angel’s at Wylie’s penthouse is most definitely on. Just got word from Angel, the party is most defintely on. His internet access has been down. He’s been talking to Gilles from Synthetic Sadhus for several days getting everything together about having artists come. The space is breathtaking, and will only be available for a little while longer, ergo my enthusiam for a day party there. The Mackey sound system will be kickass. Yet, at the same time, a group of local NYC people have self organized and are doing an afterparty in Jamaica on the 2nd story of a bar. Although I wish these people were real bastards, they are not and are all good friends. Beloved Boris and Lori. I wish them the best, I personally will attend both. Perhaps the best advice I can offer to navigate through this dilemma is to go to both if you can, if you cannot go to the one that is closest to where you’re going home to afterwards. There are other conflicts coming up, too. Looks like Spectra may be doing somthing same night or same weekend as Omnitribe around Dec 14. Alex Grey’s fundraiser is also hopefully that weekend, too. These kinks really need to be ironed out. Competition is good, up to a point, then it kills both parties…

Whenever a date is announced, it gets precedence in my book. Also, I strongly prefer to see out of town DJs playing. Finally, Wylie’s penthouse will only be available for just 2 or 3 more months.

#2064 Mon, 29 Oct 2001 17:37:03 Mon, 29 Oct 2001 17:37:02 Angel & Wylie’s party review Although Angel said there might be DJs from Synthetic, they were all too tired to show. Both parties attempted to get them to come. This next paragraph will sound suspiciously identical to Mark’s at the last SS. I handed out flyers for both Angel’s and Sophie’s Birthday and Wylie’s afterparty and Wylie’s Halloween party. I ran out of afterparty flyers early so i wrote the address down on a notepad. It sucked because a friend was handing out flyers for the afterparty in Jamaica and we were competing viciously. He said “Don’t go there… Police, Squalid Squat…” and I said “Nitrous.” I’m not even going to elaborate, we both sinned. But I did mention official SS sanction. My smile started to disappear. I never want to be in that position again – who would? With two afterparties there is an incentive to compete and prevaricate, even. And John Emmanuel was promoting Tsunami. I have a recurring nightmare of us party people spending our old age like that on a street corner… First I went to the afterparty at Kate’s bar in Jamaica. Production values were high with UV and cobwebs. I was expecting to see Ollie Wisdom there but he was not. I only heard Icy Coil, she was good. I saw Akin, some Japanese people, some Irish people, Fumi, Kate, Storm, Derby, Ori, Boris and Lori. At noon I drove to tribeca for Angel and Wylie’s afterparty. I got there around one. I was happy to see a good crowd there, probably the most I’ve seen for an indoor afterevent. It was a very diverse crowd, and people came and gone all day and night, coming from Synthetic, Blakkat, and home, even. Even hippies. Wylie had gone to Blakkat to rally troops the night before. Steve-O was getting everybody hopped up. Mojo was there with jedi nitrous. There was all sorts of crazy stuff happening, a lot of it involving rubber rats. I came on and played all over the place as usual. For a diverse crowd it’s impossible to please everyone, esp. when they are used to vinyl. Thorn from came on around 3. He was incredible. He is friends of Ollie Wisdom’s friends, not a personal friend, like i inmadvertently told some people. Dan Covan brought out his drum machine and an Israeli had an electric guitar plugged into the system. Wylie went downstairs and crashed around 5pm. Random people kept coming. The police showed up from another roof and told us to turn it down and left. Ori showed at 6pm at a lull but still played tunes. More crazy people came and we all lit candles and added more “art” to the walls. It went until 9pm. See everyone Halloween!

#2066 Mon, 29 Oct 2001 20:00:18 Mon, 29 Oct 2001 20:00:18 (FWD) Thanks from Kate & Children of LIr Promotions From: From: “Kate Garry” dinkydun at hotmail Mon, 29 Oct 2001 18:44:19 Well it is now MOnday evening and I have only now got the power of my brain and fingers back. It has been a most brilliant weekend. First and foremost, thanks to all the DJ’s that spun, you guys and gals are totally amazing and we need to hear more of you. Even though there wasn’t a huge crowd, the dance floor was never empty, and that is the most important thing. Uri, Ben, Merry, AKin, Boris, Fumi, Daka, Storm, what an amzing line-up of DJ’s, there was not one bad track all day, the mixing was wonderful,the music was full-on and uplifting, it was a truly an enlightening experience. Promotors take note, these guys and girls need more bookings, their style, messages, energy needs to be shared, come out of the darkness and into the light. Thanks to everyone that came, you were such a great crowd, danced, talked,laughed made merry all day long. There was games of pool, there was great connections made sitting at the downstairs bar, and then upstairs danced, and ran and stomped all over the place. It was nice to have the balcony to get some fresh air and herbal refreshments. Thanks also to the people who came, who weren’t even at the Amazura. Major thank you to Lori and Boris. Boris your sound system is incredible. Clarity of sound is so important, it was killer. Lori thank you for donating your lights and backdrops. Boris and Paul thank you for your strong arms and all the work you put in Satur day and Sunday night when it all had to brought back. Thanks to Maritza, Barbara, Andrea and Lori for cleaning up and and taking everything down oh and for keeping an eye on the food and coffee situation throughout the day. The last track was played and the last step danced at 8.30pm. 12 hours lads and you all were brilliant. Quality over quantity all the time. (Jeff hope you haven’t that phrase copyrighted!!;oP) It is such a pity that we clashed with Angel/Wylie. When I was inquiring last week no-one was planning anything, and when we finally got the go ahead from the bar owner (after trying to persuade him for 2 weeks) it turned out that somthing else was going to happen, we couldn;t go back and cancel at that stage (the problem with indoor legal safe venues I guess). We will have to keep in contact for the future so we can either join up or make alternate arrangement. This is a scene where we should all be coming together and making the vibe and dream come alive, uniting the people, minds and energies of the wonderful beings in this world. We get enough conflict and oppostition from the outside world, so we need to stick together. The great news is that the owner liked us very much and liked the music and the whole thing so we are welcme again for future possibilities. Is anyone planning anything this weekend?? LEt me know privately (dinkydun at hotmail) I hope that I have left no-one out, oh Mark and Jeff of course, thank you so much for promoting our first event. There will be more to come in the not so distant future!!! Once again thanks to all who played, danced, attended, helped, promoted or did anything at all. For our first time it was great, and things can only get better. Onwards and upwards. Beannacht Kate (DJ Bandia) Children of LIr Promotions

Email an organizer – zazen at deeperinzen See the art – Web web alexgrey If you want to become more involved, volunteer, help out, be informed, Alex Grey is the most psychedelically spiritual visionary artist I have ever witnessed. His book Sacred Mirrors has always graced my coffee table and it is the one thing everyone who visits must see. I strongly recommend seeking out the book; images are on alexgrey. He has allowed me to use some of his images on brainmachines… web tranceam.org/nde.html and web tranceam.org/warp.html He is building a Sacred Mirrors chapel in upstate New York. He also designed the art on Tool’s album plus their DVD. He does lectures at the Omega Institute. He knew Terrence McKenna. He’ll be there, in person.. His artwork will be on display. The music will start out downtempo and crescendo late. I can’t wait. One of my highest life goals the past couple of years has been to somehow help Alex achieve this vision. We will all be the better for its existence.

#2071 Tue, 30 Oct 2001 11:08:38 Tue, 30 Oct 2001 11:08:38 Security Cc: safetydance, dny There was a complaint emailed to the police about the “nyctrance” list’s existence – somthing about d parties; the complaint will be/is being investigated i am sure… if you want to be safe I strongly recommend you remove yourself from the list by sending an email to I am in no way associated with nyctrance even though my name was in the description. It is frustrating and in this case dangerous to have my name associated with somthing I have nothing to do with. All the names came from me – and my name is/was on the description. I’m pretty sure NYCtrance is a duplicate of the Safetydance list i worked hard to create. I will now publicly ask that the list be removed, for everyone’s safety. To clarify: My groups are brainmachines (general NYC trance info) safetydance (people from brainmachines that are personally known) dny (Devotional Ministry of Trance, NYC) shamanistas (Shamanism) k-os (Jon Lilly fans) sacredmirrors (Believers in Alex Grey’s vision) Thanks

#2072 Tue, 30 Oct 2001 19:47:23 Wylie’s Trance Mission Penthouse Parties… will go on, but in the future they will not be posted on the psy- trance schedule on this list. As far as I’m concerned you’ll have to be on the Safetydance list, and you have to be acquainted with a list member to join. Reason being, even though it’s huge it’s still technically a house party… even though it’s getting torn down soon there’s still the issue of bags and purses etc… wylie getting a couple more $5 admissions ain’t worth not knowing to trust who’s coming in the door. it’s a sweet location and we want to ensure that we know everyone coming in. Brainmachines has hit 925 members and there’s no fucking way we know everybody on it. Which is good for Synthetic or Tsunami – any commercial party, basically – but not good for a more intimate gathering. so if you aren’t on safetydance and i know you send me an email with your details and i’ll add you in. Why all this? I have a lot of friends who look shady, so i’m not going to jump to any conclusions. But Garen got his camera stolen. I’m not pointing fingers but the trance scene has a ZERO TOLERANCE for thugs and thieves. It just doesn’t happen with people we know. If anybody has any info on the camera email me privately and you will be rewarded and your identity will be assured. So we’re not going to take any chances. Wylie had promoted heavily at the big techno Blakkat party, but it was easily possible – or probable – that the thief was on or knew someone on brainmachines. So once again, thanks to the thieves that we work so hard to crack down on, and generally keep out, the door is closed to the general public again.

I’d spent most of my career working for h igh-powered entertainment conglomerates, getting their stupid clients out o f trouble, finding ever more creative ways to publicize and promote movies that offered absolutely no value to the human race, and feeling pretty good about the fat paychecks I promptly wasted on horrible weekends full of tax ing debauchery. So imagine my surprise when an InfiniTek representative cal led me out of the blue, requesting I fly to London and meet with its Board of Directors for a project that would ultimately “change my life”. Infini Tek was at the time the leading global pharmaceuticals conglomerate. By tha t time, the summer of 2004, the pharmaceuticals industry was in a deep rece ssion. No new diseases had come along in at least eight months, and all the old ones were well in hand. It had become extremely apparent to InfiniTek’ s upper management that a change would have to take place in the political climate of the world if profit margins were to return to previous heights a nd if growth was to return to previous astonishing rates. It was no longer enough to be the leading supplier of every kind of medicinal pharmaceutical you could imagine; no, it was now obvious that so-called “recreational pha rmaceuticals” were the key to answering all of the company’s serious cash f low problems. But how to get around the ridiculous War on ds still being waged by the United States government? How to circumvent the absurd propag anda machine that the United States had set in motion decades earlier? “W hat we need,” said InfiniTek’s chairman of the board, [name deleted for sec urity reasons], “is a counter-campaign, a public relations campaign that wi ll target the next generation of recreational pharmaceutical users and open the ballgame wide up for competitive, aggressive marketing of psychedelic substances to the world. Mind you, I have no interest in the ‘hard’ ds; no one wants to compete with the CIA that directly, after all. But the fact remains: it’s time to open the floodgates, introduce significant and power ful alternatives to the goddamn monopoly that alcohol has on the public con sciousness. There are other ways to alter human consciousness for fun and p rofit, dammit, and InfiniTek needs to be at the forefront!” My mind was r acing. Of all the seedy, disgusting things someone had ever paid me to do, this was among the worst – and that included my work to convince the entire population of China that Melrose Place had deep religious significance, an d should be revered alongside the words of Confucius. “Well,” I said slow ly, ideas forming more rapidly than my sickened stomach could manage, “it’s obvious we need to target the children.” [name deleted for security reas ons]’s eyebrow shot up. “I’m listening,” he said. “It’s simple, really, ” I replied. “You’ve got the resources, the undeserved respect, and the mar keting clout to wield an iron fist wherever you want to. So: it’s time to d evelop your own line of toys, gentlemen. It’s time to start advertising tho se toys on Saturday morning cartoon programming. You’ll make these toys mor e desirable than the Cabbage Patch Kid fad, the Beanie Baby fad, even the r ecent Cuddly Parasites of the Amazon fad. Soon every child in America will want these toys, and their parents will be powerless to resist. With your t oys in the hands of the American populace, no politician will dare resist t heir influence as they grow to voting age and demand that psychedelic subst ances be legalized.” “What kind of toys are you thinking of here?” asked InfiniTek CEO Alexander Strip. “Action figures,” I replied. “Psychedelic substance action figures. Let’s take the War on ds to the next level, ex cept we’ll cast the psychedelics as cosmic heroes, Team Altered-State, batt ling an onslaught of evil government menace. Just think of the possibilitie s. Captain Acid will lead our heroes into battle, with his high-powered Tri pmobile and his devastating Self-Recursion Lasso. The mighty Doctor d wil l stun his enemies with the Tremendum Torpedo, and his sidekick Elfy the En tity will provide much needed comic relief. The Mysterious Mescalito will g ive us access to niche ethnic markets. The beautiful Princess Ecstasy will add that much needed feminine touch to the team. Let’s not forget the relen tless Mister Mushroom, either, with his remarkable Swivel-Arm Battle Spores or the ever intriguing Agent K, whose prowess with far eastern ‘throwing syringes’ will send his foes hurtling into the K-hole at a moment’s notice. Their enigmatic commander, Heroic Dose, will send them on mission after mi ssion, to win the War on ds once and for all.” “Good Lord,” said [name deleted for security reasons]. “I think you’ve got somthing here.” “The fight will not be easy, of course. Team Altered-State will have their work cut out for them against the vicious d Eradication Association, led by the maniacal General Bummer Trip and his fearsome Forfeiture Flamthrower.” “Of course, of course,” muttered Alexander Strip. “You could sell enti re playsets. The Team Altered-State command headquarters, Code Name: Ground Control. The Team Altered-State chemical supply dump, Code Name: Pillbrook . The Team Altered-State r&r joint, Code Name: Tryptamine Tavern. The DEA w ill of course have its own hovercraft, the Schedule One. Build brand awaren ess, turn it into the Team Altered-State half-hour cartoon, start releasing Team Altered-State feature films eventually each playset will come with it s own little vial full of Strange White Powder, and your revenues will go t hrough the roof.” It was a bold and brassy plan, coming at just the right time, a time when boredom was the primary motivator for most human beings in the western world. InfiniTek unleashed the full power of its immensely s avvy marketing arm, and within fifteen years, the War on ds in the Unite d States collapsed. Within a year after that, InfiniTek itself was worth mo re than the total gross national products of every nation on Earth combined and its executives were widely said to be laughing their way all the way to the bank, and then to the lab, to pick up their own little vials full of Strange White Powder. It was a weird weird situation, and consensus realit y was pushed to its limits. I, of course, collected a big fat paycheck an d moved to a small Caribbean island with not vials but full fledged vats of Strange White Powder. My little corner of the planet has not been the same since, I can tell you that for nothing.

The center of the circle will serve as a publi c performance space for very brief (10 sec- 3 min) images, songs, words, pr ayers, dance, etc. for anyone who would like to perform. The theme of the performances should center around journey of life, death, and rebirth: in s tories, in our mythology, in our personal lives, and in the events of this day. If you would like to bring somthing to share, please work around one of these themes. Open to everyone, the only game is when the next person e nters the circle, you find a way to leave.

#2076 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:38:47 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:38:47 How the Mayoral Race’s Budget Issue affects our Trance tonight The activities of the Pied Piper of New York, likewise,will definitely have to be curtailed. Although his removal of children from some towns has lightened the financial burden from those towns, lessening the taxes levied, etc.,for those particular towns, other towns, to which thechildren have been lead, have had to take up the slack, with serious challenges to the community coffers. Officials are considering cutting back on the official and paid hours of the Piper, in order to reduce the numbers of children walked to new communities. Although busing has been suggested to cut down on the cost, time/profit studies have shown that walking, even for some hours, is still more cost-effective than busing, especially when one includes the costs of gas, tires, etc.

#2077 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:53:28 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:53:27 Pied Piper and l ergot When i was in sixth grade in 1979 i did a videotaped book report on the Ped Piper of Hamelin, and how the insanity was blamed on a purple rye wheat ergot mold that caused hallucinations… little did my young Texan mind realize the weird synchronicities that were in store. Turns out tthat although l comes from the ergot mold, the ergot mold itself is poisonous and sometimes brought on fits of wild dancing in tis victims. This has a sick twist with the anthrax scare now, i realize, but the theme has been in the works for weeks and we’re not going to let Osama ruin our “art.” So to paraphrase Wylie, “COME RATS, COME CHILDREN, FOLLOW! FOLLOW!” We’re definitely going to hell for this one. I read a book once that blamed ergot for the Pied Piper story that he used mouldy rye to make the children of Hamelin sick…and, when asked by their parents to play for them that he might assuage their “dancing sickness”, he piped them all away to slave traders. The modern version of ergot produces much more spectacular results: l. 🙂 That’s one hell of a stretch! What about the rats? You can’t have a Pied Piper story without rats! 🙂 And selling the children into slavery kind of ruins the ending, doesn’t it? Very dark and cynical. Maybe there was some modern ergo involved in the drafting of this book? 🙂 Besides, children are already living in their own world. l would only make them more child-like. The Pied Piper of Hamelin: A Child’s Story I HAMELIN Town’s in Brunswick, By famous Hanover city; The river Weser, deep and wide, Washes its wall on the southern side; A pleasanter spot you never spied; But, when begins my ditty, Almost five hundred years ago, To see the townsfolk suffer so From vermin, was a pity. II Rats! They fought the dogs and killed the cats, And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats, And licked the soup from the cook’s own ladles, Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women’s chats By drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats. III At last the people in a body To the Town Hall came flocking: ” ‘T is clear,” cried they, “our Mayor’s a noddy; And as for our Corporation – shocking To think we buy gowns lined with ermine For dolts that can’t or won’t determine What’s best to rid us of our vermin! You hope, because you’re old and obese, To find in the furry civic robe ease? Rouse up, sirs! Give your brains a racking To find the remedy we’re lacking, Or, sure as fate, we’ll send you packing!” At this the Mayor and Corporation Quaked with a mighty consternation. IV An hour they sat in council; At length the Mayor broke silence: “For a guilder I’d my ermine gown sell, I wish I were a mile hence! It’s easy to bid one rack one’s brain – I’m sure my poor head aches again, I’ve scratched it so, and all in vain. Oh, for a trap, a trap, a trap!” Just as he said this, what should hap At the chamber-door but a gentle tap? “Bless us,” cried the Mayor, “What’s that?” (With the Corporation as he sat, Looking little though wondrous fat; Nor brighter was his eye nor moister Than a too-long-opened oyster, Save when at noon his paunch grew mutinous For a plate of turtle green and glutinous) “Only a scraping of shoes on the mat? Anything like the sound of a rat Makes my heart go pit-a-pat!” V “Come in!” – the Mayor cried, looking bigger: And in did come the strangest figure! His queer long coat from heel to head Was half of yellow and half of red, And he himself was tall and thin, With sharp blue eyes, each like a pin, And light loose hair, yet swarthy skin, No tuft on cheek nor beard on chin, But lips where smiles went out and in; There was no guessing his kith and kin: And nobody could enough admire The tall man and his quaint attire. Quoth one: “It’s as my great-grandsire, Starting up at the Trump of Doom’s tone, Had walked this way from his painted tombstone!” VI He advanced to the council-table: And “Please, your honors,” said he, “I’m able, By means of a secret charm, to draw All creatures living beneath the sun, That creep or swim or fly or run, After me so as you never saw! And I chiefly use my charm On creatures that do people harm, The mole and toad and newt and viper; And people call me the Pied Piper.” (And here they noticed round his neck A scarf of red and yellow stripe, To match with his coat of the self-same cheque; And at the scarf’s end hung a pipe; And his fingers, they noticed, were ever straying As if impatient to be playing Upon this pipe, as low it dangled Over his vesture so old-fangled.) “Yet,” said he, “poor piper as I am, In Tartary I freed the Cham, Last June, from his huge swarms of gnats; I eased in Asia the Nizam Of a monstrous brood of vampire-bats; And as for what your brain bewilders, If I can rid your town of rats Will you give me a thousand guilders?” “One? fifty thousand!” – was the exclamation Of the astonished Mayor and Corporation. VIII Into the street the Piper stept, Smiling first a little smile, As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while; Then, like a musical adept, To blow his pipe his lips he wrinkled, And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled. Like a candle-flame where salt is sprinkled; And ere three shrill notes the pipe uttered, You heard as if an army muttered; And the muttering grew to a grumbling; And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling; And out of the houses the rats came tumbling. Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats, Grave old plodders, gay young friskers, Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, Cocking tails and pricking whiskers, Families by tens and dozens, Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, Followed the Piper for their lives. From street to street he piped advancing, And step by step they followed dancing, Until they came to the river Weser, Wherein all plunged and perished! – Save one, who, stout as Julias Caeser, Swam across and lived to carry (As he, the manuscript he cherished) to Rat-land home his commentary: Which was, “At the first shrill notes of the pipe, I heard a sound as of scraping tripe, And putting apples, wondrous ripe, Into a cider-press’s gripe, And a moving away of pickle tub-boards, And a leaving ajar of conserve-cupboards, And a drawing the corks of train-oil-flasks, And a breaking the hoops of butter-casks: And it seemed as if a voice (Sweeter far than by harp or psaltery Is breathed) called out, ‘Oh rats, rejoice! The world is grown to one vast drysaltery! So munch on, crunch on, take your nuncheon, Breakfast, supper, dinner, luncheon!’ And just as a bulky sugar-puncheon, All ready staved, like a great sun shone, Glorious scarce an inch before me, Just as mthought it said, ‘Come, bore me!’ – I found the Weser rolling o’er me.” VIII You should have heard the Hamelin people Ringing the bells till they rocked the steeple. “Go,” cried the Mayor, “and get long poles, Poke out the nests and block up the holes! Consult with carpenters and builders, And leave in our town not even a trace of the rats!” – when suddenly, up the face Of the Piper perked in the market-place, With a “First, if you please, my thousand guilders!” IX A thousand guilders! The Mayor looked blue. So did the corporation too. For council dinners made rare havoc With Claret, Moselle, Vin-de-Grave, Hock; And half the money would replenish Their cellar’s biggest butt with Rhenish. To pay this sum to a wandering fellow With a gypsy coat of red and yellow! “Beside,” quoth the Mayor with a knowing wink, “Our business was ended at the river’s brink; We saw with our eyes the vermin sink, And what’s dead can’t come to life, I think; So, friend, we’re not the folks to shrink From the duty of giving you somthing for drink, And a matter of money to put in your poke; But as for the guilders, what we spoke Of them, as you very well know, was in joke. Beside, our losses have made us thrifty. A thousand guilders! Come, take fifty!” X The Piper’s face fell, and he cried, “No trifling, I can’t wait, beside! I’ve promised to visit by dinner time Bagdat, and accept the prime Of the Head-Cook’s pottage, all he’s rich in For having left, in the Caliph’s kitchen Of a nest of scorpions no survivor, With him I proved no bargain-driver. With you, don’t think I’ll bate a stiver! And folks who put me in a passion May find me pipe after another fashion.” XI “How?” cried the Mayor, “D’ye think I brook Being worse treated than a cook? Insulted by a lazy ribald With idle pipe and vesture piebald? You threaten us, fellow? Do your worst, Blow your pipe there till you burst!” XII Once more he stept into the street, And to his lips again, Laid his long pipe of smooth straight cane; And ere he blew three notes (such sweet Soft notes as yet musician’s cunning Never gave the enraptured air) There was a rustling that seemed like a bustling Of merry crowds justling at pitching and hustling; Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes clattering, Little hands clapping and little tongues chattering, And, like fowls in a farm-yard when barley is scattering, Out came the children running. All the little boys and girls, With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls, And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls, Tripping andmtskipping, ran merrily after The wonderful music with shouting and laughter. XIII The Mayor was dumb, and the Council stood As if they were changed into blocks of wood, Unable to move a step, or cry To the children merrily skipping by, – Could only follow with the eye That joyous crowd at the Piper’s back. But how the Mayor was on the rack, And the wretched Council’s bosoms beat, As the piper turned from the High Street To where the Weser rolled its waters Right in the way of their sons and daughters! However, he turned from South to West, And to Koppelberg Hill his steps addressed, And after him the children pressed; Great was the joy in every breast. “He never can cross that mighty top! He’s forced to let the piping drop, And we shall see our children stop!” When, lo, as they reached the mountain-side, A wondrous portal opened wide, As if a cavern was suddenly hollowed, And the Piper advanced and the children followed, And when all were in to the very last, The door in the mountain-side shut fast. Did I say all? No! one was lame, And could not dance the whole of the way; And in after years, if you would blame His sadness, he was used to say, – “It’s dull in our town since my playmates left! I can’t forget that I’m bereft Of all the pleasant sights they see, Which the Piper also promised me. For he led us, he said, to a joyous land, Joining the town and just at hand, Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew, And flowers put forth a fairer hue, And everything was strange and new; The sparrows were brighter then peacocks here, And their dogs outran our fallow deer, And honey-bees had lost their stings, And horses were born with eagles’ wings; And just as I became assured My lame foot would be speedily cured, The music stopped and I stood still, And found myself outside the hill, Left alone against my will, To go now limping as before, And never hear of that country more!” XIV Alas, alas for Hamelin! There came into many a burgher’s pate A text which says that heaven’s gate Opes to the rich at as easy rate As the needle’s eye takes a camel in! The Mayor sent East, West, North and South To offer the Piper, by word of mouth, Wherever it was men’s lot to find him, Silver and gold to his heart’s content, If he’d only return the way he went, And bring the children behind him. But when they saw ‘t was a lost endeavor, And Piper and dancers were gone forever, They made a decree that lawyers never Should think their records dated duly If, after the day of the month and year, These words did not as well appear, “And so long after what happened here On the Twenty-second of July, Thirteen hundred and seventy-six:” And the better in memory to fix The place of the children’s last retreat, They called it, the Pied Piper’s Street – Where anyone playing on pipe or tabor, Was sure for the future to lose his labor. Nor suffered they hostelry or tavern To shock with mirth a street so solemn. But opposite the place of the cavern They wrote the story on a column, And on the great church-window painted The same, to make the world acquainted How their children were stolen away, And there it stands to this very day. And I must not omit to say That in Transylvania there’s a tribe Of alien people who ascribe The outlandish ways and dress On which their neighbors lay such stress, To their fathers and mothers having risen Out of some subterraneous prison Into which they were trepanned Long time ago in a mighty band Out of Hamelin town in Brunswick land, But how or why, they don’t understand. XV So, Willy, let me and you be wipers Of scores out with all men – especially pipers! And, whether they pipe us free from rats or from mice, If we’ve promised them aught, let us keep our promise!

#2079 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 18:25:18 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 18:25:18 Scientists hold ‘rave concert’ for dged mice From: Sorry Jeff, but I just had to post this :)web ananova/news/story/sm437981.html Scientists hold ‘rave concert’ for dged mice Scientists have been giving mice ds and playing them records by The Prodigy. Researchers wanted to find out if the music had any effect on the way mthamphetamines are absorbed by the body. They discovered the effects were more severe during music by the dance band than during works by Bach. Loud music alone didn’t harm the mice – those given injections of plain salt water instead of speed fell asleep during the “rave”. Four of the 40 mice exposed to Bach died during or after the experiment, while seven of the 40 Prodigy mice died. Jenny Morton, of Cambridge University, said: “It seems that listening to pulsatile music strengthens the toxic effects of mthamphetamine.” She also noted that dged mice subjected to both kinds of music also had more disturbing behaviour – remaining in one spot but swaying backwards and forwards. She told New Scientist: “If you saw how the mice behaved, you wouldn’t want to take mthamphetamine.” see also: web ananova/news/story/sm430790.html “Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.” Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

#2080 Thu, 1 Nov 2001 12:26:58 Thu, 1 Nov 2001 12:26:58 Demerara Friday… Psytrance & techno plus Halloween Review This Friday there’s a party with psy-trance and techno at demerara is on 215 W28th . Yoni from Tsunami and Deeper in Zen will represent the genre. My prediction will be a good mixed crowd and unpredictable crazy vibe. Details in next paragraph. DeeperInZen played on the Halloween trance float last night, which was a raging success.. the pied piper of gotham led the “rats” march, “get up stand up stand up for your rats, a motorcade with rats, cheese, fog, special effects lights, and a road warrior contingent. Wylie very very narrowly pulled it off; we were soooo close to not making into the parade (we were not registered) but we were a sight to behold. a top notch job on everyone’s part. we represented the genre well… We drove the float through the streets banging tunes right up to the Frying Pan boat party. demerara is on 215 W28th between 7th and 8th. This is intended to be a low key evening; how much it is blown up completey depends on us. $10 if you mention brainmachines; regular price $15 the line up is by order: Russ Deep (Touch By A DJ) 10-11, Jason Joollins (Touch By A DJ) 11-12, Yoni (Tsunami) 12-1:30, Alen Sax 1:30-3, Digital Domain 3-4, Deeper In Zen (who played on the Halloween float) 4-?. also – at another place that night (FYII heard from another party list you need tix in advance to the Chemical Brothers. And they cost $30 each. just so ya know…)

#2082 Fri, 2 Nov 2001 12:31:32 Fri, 2 Nov 2001 12:31:31 Updated NYC Psy-Trance Fall Schedule Wanna do a party? The head of tourism in the Yucatan (Mexico – location of the Chichen Itza pyramids with an ampitheatre yet to be admired by modern science) is open to a psy-trance event held there, at the base of the pyramids. No kidding. Email if interested. Psy-trance is barely stumbling for the next two weeks in NYC. With the exception of the psy-trance/techno party at Demerara tonight, the next weekend night will be somthing Nov 16, and that might possibly end up being only souped up Opium Den vibe (no cabaret license). Aside from tonight through December there’s a weeknight Tsunami event, one Synthetic event, a probable Omnitribe party, and the Alex Grey Benefit. Double bookers, take note. With all the energy thrown into splitting a community down the middle in the past, now we are in a period where there is nothing planned. Are we so inflexible as to not be able to move dates? This is one of the reasons to publish a calndar like this. Access to Wylie’s penthouse was ruined by shady ravers he invited from the a techno party. So that’s out. And I’m not going to try to generate interest for a bridge party anytime soon under these war conditions. Maybe the old Russian place? Club Moscow? I would like to openly encourage those with sound to do somthing even outside – that’s what tents and/or campfires are for. Or, if anybody has a loft or space and wouldn’t mind making some money, let me know. Any atypical events planned this way will only be posted on the Safetydance list.

#2089 Tue, 6 Nov 2001 16:13:50 Tue, 6 Nov 2001 16:13:50 Commentary In this email, 1 Giger 2 Masque teaser 3 Tuesday weekly open 4 Mayoral Race 5 Free film Just so you know, Giger is prnounced GEE-ger. This coming from the man himself. Also know that downstairs will be a flood of rollers. I ran into the promoter at the loft party last saturday, and if his friends look anything like him, it will be day and night, upstairs and downstairs. For those of you that have never been to the Giger room, it’s not to be missed. I recommend getting on the list or a stamp or somthing at LiquidLime206 at yahoo, because there will be someone at the door to the Giger room, probably on of the Omnitribe guys. With Giger’s twisted art, and the Masque of the Red Death the following evening with a real life descendant of Edgar Allen Poe, it’s looking like a goth-tinged trance party weekend!! Keep in mind – the Limelight afterparty this Saturday after Limelight has been moved to Saturday night, dark for dark things, announced only on the SafetyDance list. It’s going to be a full on gothic groovy psy-trance Masque of the Red Death event, and if you’re still lurking you’re missing out. get your ass on the SafetyDance list by sending an email to safetydance. You’ll be fully vetted, of course, we need to make sure you’re not somebody we don’t know. Does anybody know an available bar on Tuesday we could play music at? I’m sick of lurking around Liquid’s when I need a fix of insanity. Dots is the man but I like trancespotting. WE DON’T NEED A BUSINESSMAN FOR MAYOR BLOOMBERG WILL BE HORRIBLE FOR NYC. You failed to vote in the last mayoral election and you got rudy GULIANNI. You didn’t bother to vote in the presidential election either and you got DUBBYA. We NYC partiers tend to prefer living life according to the pleasure principle but look where it gets us! Dubbya got in on just a handful of votes and some very questionable counting, 900 trancers could swing it!

Every other Wednesday. 1 – Ozone Blasters 2 – Bodypainters needed 3 – Scorpions 4 – Updated Schedule 1 – I’m selling Ozone Blasters on the side. It completely removes both invisible odors from the walls, curtains, etc and also visible particles in the air. Also makes an old car have better than a new car smell. If anybody knows anybody who buys stuff for their offices I can give a demo – or a bar or restaurant owner. Basically, it breaks down complex chemical buildup and it turns to water which evaporates, and dust which falls to the floor. Non-smokers will immediately tell a difference. It works better than you can imagine. First stop, Vinyl and every dank bar I know. Second stop, Wall Street. 2 – Bodypainters From: ZENWARP zenwarpnews at yahoo Body painter WANTED Webster Hall is looking for some one to do live body painting on Friday & Saturday nights. Base pay is $50 cash plus you keep your commission & tips. You would be working the main crowd (not just ZENWARP), so the earning potential could be very lucrative. Please respond to zenwarpnews at yahoo ASAP if interested. Shane Savant (ONLY DO IT IF YOU KEEP 100% OF THE MONEY… SO WILL YOU GO TO WEBSTER HALL IF THEY *PAY* YOU???) 3 – “Bloomberg won, it’s time to learn from Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. Along with the millions of refugees and hundreds of thousands of dead, they are victims of two decades of war and chaos in neighboring Afghanistan. While Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban, now being bombed by the United States, banned poppy cultivation in the areas it controls, there is still enough heroin coming across the border that a little bit under a gram in Quetta costs only a little bit more than a dollar. The Golden Crescent, the rugged frontier country between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, is the source of more than 95 percent of the heroin consumed in Europe. But Raza and his crew are not among those who profit from the rich trade. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter. WHIFF OF HASHISH A whiff of hashish barely manages to cut through the stench of sewage clogging the Habib Nala stream that begins as a clear trickle in the nearby mountains before picking up the waste of this city officially of 120,000 but in reality housing perhaps 10 times as many. Some of the addicts hop around on one remaining leg. Others have viscous scars on their hands. All wear a crust of filth over their shawls and trousers. Jamaluddin is a whiz with electronic items. He can fix any radio, any television, he says. “But there is no work and we have nothing to do but smoke,” he said. Jamaluddin has been addicted to heroin for 21 years. Like the other junkies he does not mind the filth of the sewer around him. “People leave us alone here. Here we can do what we want. If we smoke anywhere else the police come and chase us away.” Naimatullah has two children waiting for him at home. His family hates his addiction and berates him for spending up to 300 rupees ($5) a day on heroin a lot of money in this border region. “But it is a very cruel addiction,” he said. “I cannot leave it.” Back at the cemetery, as dusk begins to fall and the desert air suddenly chills, children fly brightly colored kites, oblivious of the addicts sucking heroin up through pipes made from tin foil. The junkies are part of the landscape. – Updated Psy-Trance Fall Schedule Sunday is claimed by Jeff and Wylie. Free Tribeca venue bar.

It completely removes both invisible odors from the walls, curtains, etc and also visible particles in the air. Also makes an old car have better than a new car smell. If anybody knows anybody who buys stuff for their offices I can give a demo – or a bar or restaurant owner. Basically, it breaks down complex chemical buildup and it turns to water which evaporates, and dust which falls to the floor. Non-smokers will immediately tell a difference. It works better than you can imagine. First stop, Vinyl and every dank bar I know. Second stop, Wall Street. 2 – Bodypainters From: ZENWARP zenwarpnews at yahoo Body painter WANTED Webster Hall is looking for some one to do live body painting on Friday & Saturday nights. Base pay is $50 cash plus you keep your commission & tips. You would be working the main crowd (not just ZENWARP), so the earning potential could be very lucrative. Please respond to zenwarpnews at yahoo ASAP if interested. Shane Savant (ONLY DO IT IF YOU KEEP 100% OF THE MONEY… SO WILL YOU GO TO WEBSTER HALL IF THEY *PAY* YOU???) 3 – “Bloomberg won, it’s time to learn from Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. Along with the millions of refugees and hundreds of thousands of dead, they are victims of two decades of war and chaos in neighboring Afghanistan. While Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban, now being bombed by the United States, banned poppy cultivation in the areas it controls, there is still enough heroin coming across the border that a little bit under a gram in Quetta costs only a little bit more than a dollar. The Golden Crescent, the rugged frontier country between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, is the source of more than 95 percent of the heroin consumed in Europe. But Raza and his crew are not among those who profit from the rich trade. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter. WHIFF OF HASHISH A whiff of hashish barely manages to cut through the stench of sewage clogging the Habib Nala stream that begins as a clear trickle in the nearby mountains before picking up the waste of this city officially of 120,000 but in reality housing perhaps 10 times as many. Some of the addicts hop around on one remaining leg. Others have viscous scars on their hands. All wear a crust of filth over their shawls and trousers. Jamaluddin is a whiz with electronic items. He can fix any radio, any television, he says. “But there is no work and we have nothing to do but smoke,” he said. Jamaluddin has been addicted to heroin for 21 years. Like the other junkies he does not mind the filth of the sewer around him. “People leave us alone here. Here we can do what we want. If we smoke anywhere else the police come and chase us away.” Naimatullah has two children waiting for him at home. His family hates his addiction and berates him for spending up to 300 rupees ($5) a day on heroin a lot of money in this border region. “But it is a very cruel addiction,” he said. “I cannot leave it.” Back at the cemetery, as dusk begins to fall and the desert air suddenly chills, children fly brightly colored kites, oblivious of the addicts sucking heroin up through pipes made from tin foil. The junkies are part of the landscape. – Updated Psy-Trance Fall Schedule Sunday is claimed by Jeff and Wylie. Free Tribeca venue bar.

#2108 Sun, 11 Nov 2001 13:23:48 Sun, 11 Nov 2001 13:23:48 best way to repair scratched psy-trance cds Repairing the surface of a damaged CD would seem like a natural subspecialty of the gender that grows up obsessing over woofers and tweeters and amps. On the other hand, how many guys grew up watching their older sisters polish their engagement rings with toothpaste, which also happens to be the abrasive of choice for treating a scratched CD? Before you begin, listen to the CD and note where the worst skips are. With one hand opened wide, hold the CD by the edge and wipe gently with water and mild soap to remove dust and fingerprints. Using a lint-free cloth (an eyeglass cloth will do), dry the surface in clean strokes from the center to the outer edge. Do not use a circular motion. Now hold the shiny side of the CD under a bright light and look for whitish scratches (remember that CDs, unlike records, play from the center out). Dampen the cloth, dab with plain white toothpaste (no gels, no baking soda), and apply it to the scratch, once again working from the center to the outer edge. Rinse with water, dry carefully, and test the results. Repeat once or twice if the CD still skips.

Poorer nations want cha nges in TRIPS, win over cheap ds III. Big Bang radiation – White Noise Computer DJ uses biofeedback to pick tracks 19:00 1 4 November 01 Duncan Graham-Rowe A computerised DJ that uses f eedback from the dancers to generate new music has been developed by artif icial intelligence experts at Hewlett-Packard, meaning clubbers may soon o nly have themselves to blame if they do not like the music they are dancin g to. Photo: Tom Oldham/PYMCA Dave Cliff of HP’s laboratori es in Bristol says that the “HPDJ” will monitor the way dancers respond to the music and compose new tracks according to how animated the crowd beco mes. In 2000, New Scientist reported on an earlier version of the HPDJ and pitted it against a human DJ in a London venue to see how it fared with a live audience. Although the software managed to fool a third of the clubb ers into believing a human DJ was at the turntables, our panel of professi onal DJs was more sceptical. But then again, they will be the ones to lose out if it works. The earlier version takes dance tracks and works out t he best sequence in which to play them. It can also mix them, seamlessly f ading one song into the next while adjusting the tempo. Cliff says that t he biggest gripe that DJs such as BBC Radio 1’s Judge Jules had with it wa s that it could not gauge the crowd’s response to the music. That got Clif f thinking about ways to improve it. Heart monitor His solution is to give each clubber a device like a wristwatch that monitors their behaviou r, feeding info back to the HPDJ via a “Bluetooth” wireless link. “It trac ks your location, measures your heart and perspiration rate, and an accele rometer monitors how active you are,” Cliff explains. Every dance song co mprises a number of different tracks, such as drum patterns, bass lines, k eyboard hooks and vocals. To create a song, the HPDJ chooses tracks from a large library and then modifies and overlays them, based on the vibe comi ng from the dance floor. So how does it work? The HPDJ uses a “genetic al gorithm”, a type of program inspired by evolution. It uses a survival-of-t he-fittest approach to create new and better tunes. In the case of the H PDJ, the different tracks are the “genes”, and the inputs from the dancers are the “fitness” factors, essentially deciding whether or not particular combinations of genes survive. Hitting the floor If the track sounds so awful that people cannot get into it, they may wander off to the bar o r dance less enthusiastically, says Cliff. So HPDJ will then try to improv e the music, experimenting with different beats and bass lines, or speedin g up the tempo in a bid to coax more people back onto the dance floor. W hen the crowd gets into the music, the HPDJ will sense that more people are on the dance floor and monitor how actively they are dancing. It will the n gradually build up the tempo to whip the dancers into a brief frenzy, be fore calming things down for a chill-out period. Cliff also envisages a novel spin-off: the software could be linked to a CD recorder, so as you l eft a club you’d be given a CD with the music you helped to create. Po orer nations want changes in TRIPS, win over cheap ds 17:56 13 November 01 Debora MacKenzie The countries of the World Trad e Organisation want to let developing countries keep using cheap, generic ds after all. In an unexpected turn-around, trade ministers meeting in Doha, Qatar, have agreed to let the poorer nations of some patents that maintain the high prices of new pharmaceuticals.WTO countries are me eting to launch new trade negotiations aimed at further abolishing barrier s to international trade. One major issue for developing countries is the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, or TRIPS agreement, which calls for all WTO members to respect patents by 2006.Developing cou ntries want changes in TRIPS. They say the high price of patented ds co ndemns the poor to suffering and death. Rich countries, and the pharmaceut icals industry, have opposed any changes. But now they have agreed to let the poorest countries wait until 2016 before recognising patents. Unthink able progress More importantly, the meeting’s draft declaration calls for measures to allow poorer countries to keep importing the generic ds the y need, even after patents are enforced worldwide. Ellen ‘t Hoen, pharmace uticals campaigner for the medical charity ME9decins Sans FrontiE8res, s ays: “Even six days ago, it was unthinkable that somthing like this could be approved by WTO ministers.” “There are elements we’d have wanted worde d differently,” admits Eric Noehrenberg, of the International Federation o f Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Associations in Geneva. “But we hope this w ill help resolve the dispute and put the entire debate over TRIPS on the b ack burner,” he says, “so we can focus on the real barriers to access.” Th ese, the IFPMA says, are largely the lack of medical infrastructure in poo r countries.The final declaration must still be approved by all WTO member s and, on Tuesday evening, the debate had overrun its deadline without agr eement. However, if any overall declaration is approved, the ds agreeme nt is expected to survive. Compulsory licence Patents allow companies to s ell new ds at high prices for 20 years, to recoup their research and de velopment investment. But in countries that do not recognise patent law, e specially India, other companies make and sell copies of patented ds at much lower prices.TRIPS allows poor countries that recognise patents to m ake generics for their home markets, and to import them from countries tha t do not recognise patents, under government-issued “compulsory licences”. The Doha agreement affirms the right of governments to grant compulsory li cences for any reason. Such licences had been the subject of unsuccessful legal challenges by the US and by ds firms, who argued that only nation al medical emergencies were sufficient reason for granting them Expeditiou s solution But in 2006, with everyone recognising patents, poor countries that cannot make their own generics would have lost the right to import th em.The Doha agreement calls on TRIPS members “to find an expeditious solut ion to this problem … before the end of 2002”. This will mean allowing c ountries that cannot make their own ds to import generics from countrie s that recognise patents, under compulsory licenses. That could keep firms such as India’s Ranbaxy, that would otherwise have abandoned generics in the business. Or manufacturers may simply relocate to countries that need not recognise patents until 2016. What is your favourite sound?

Ellen ‘t Hoen, pharmaceuticals campaigner for the medical c harity ME9decins Sans FrontiE8res, says: “Even six days ago, it was unthi nkable that somthing like this could be approved by WTO ministers.” “There are elements we’d have wanted worded differently,” admits Eric Noehrenberg of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Associati ons in Geneva. “But we hope this will help resolve the dispute and put the entire debate over TRIPS on the back burner,” he says, “so we can focus on the real barriers to access.” These, the IFPMA says, are largely the lack o f medical infrastructure in poor countries.The final declaration must still be approved by all WTO members and, on Tuesday evening, the debate had ove rrun its deadline without agreement. However, if any overall declaration is approved, the ds agreement is expected to survive. Compulsory li cence Patents allow companies to sell new ds at high prices for 20 years, to recoup their research and development investment. But in coun tries that do not recognise patent law, especially India, other companies m ake and sell copies of patented ds at much lower prices.TRIPS allows poo r countries that recognise patents to make generics for their home markets, and to import them from countries that do not recognise patents, under gov ernment-issued “compulsory licences”.The Doha agreement affirms the right o f governments to grant compulsory licences for any reason. Such licences ha d been the subject of unsuccessful legal challenges by the US and by ds firms, who argued that only national medical emergencies were sufficient re ason for granting them Expeditious solution But in 2006, wi th everyone recognising patents, poor countries that cannot make their own generics would have lost the right to import them.The Doha agreement calls on TRIPS members “to find an expeditious solution to this problem … befor e the end of 2002”. This will mean allowing countries that cannot make thei r own ds to import generics from countries that recognise patents, under compulsory licenses. That could keep firms, such as India’s Ranbaxy, that would otherwise have abandoned generics in the business. Or manufacturers m ay simply relocate to countries that need not recognise patents until 2016.

ASHLEY CASSELLE (Ashtrax/Deviant/Bedrock/Gatecrasher) Ashley shot into the consciousness of the British dancefloors with his first release the ‘Show Me’ EP which led to a dazzling and diverse range of production and remixes. He honed and perfected his intricate and absorbing production skills on artists such as Peter Lazonby, Chris Issac, Derrick Carter and D-Ream whilst embracing the progressive house scene with mixes for labels such as Guerrilla and Brute. Around this time, fellow Hastings DJ and rising star John Digweed asked him to DJ in the alternative room at local night Bedrock where he would be given the scope to experiment and entertain in his own style, free from the often rigid restraints of peak time main room dance floors. This led to Ashley playing on Sasha and Digweeds’ highly acclaimed Northern Exposure Tour. More recently Ashley can be found recording as Ashtrax, an outlet for his ever-evolving sound melting tech-house, breakbeat and dirty grooves into a colourful mixture with co-producers James Christopher and Paul Greendale. Tracks such as “Kafka” or the sublime mix of label mate Paul Van Dyk’s “For an Angel” have found critical acclaim from many quarters and have paved the way for the latest installment of quality Deviant releases. Helsinki/Diversion encompasses the diverse range of darkly uplifting tunes that Ashley plays at his residency at Gatecrasher and across the UK’s finer dance floors, including Bedrock where he regularly spins maintaining his long standing association with John Digweed. It is already a firm favourite with the likes of Sasha, Steve Lawler, Nick Warren and Timo Maas as well as gaining respect from London’s breakbeat mafia. Ashley has been spinning regularly on the Gatecrasher Global Sound System and has already featured in Japan, China, and Philippines . Forthcoming tour dates will take Ashley to Korea, South Africa and USA – making him a true disciple of the Gatecrasher Global. Ashley will be spinning a special set of chill breakbeat leftfield tracks for your listening pleasure. also performing that night will be DRM from Bastard Jazz Records, and Soundscape’s resinauts.

#2123 Mon, 19 Nov 2001 13:26:58 Mon, 19 Nov 2001 13:26:57 Weekly 1 BurninGoa/Meteor Shower Party Review 2 Curtis/Curt’s lost his cell phone at Burning Man Decompression 3 No Karma Tuesday 4 ELF – Extra Low Frequ ency 5 UFO/pulsed energy at WTC? 6 Looking for female downtempo DJ 7 If you r rights are violated 8 Updated Psy-Trance schedule 1-the BurninGoa/Meteor Shower party was a rousing success. It went a full 30 hours. People brou ght tents, hot dogs, dogs, things to burn, and good energy. I took a fema le friend who had never been to any of these things and she was blown away . And the meteor shower – wow. The fire was burning bright and everyone was screaming. At midnight we had cut out to The Burning Man Decompressio n for a couple hours. It was festive but full of drunks and the music was mostly pretty uninspiring. But even ‘Girls Just want to have Fun” sounde d good in that atmosphere. 2-If anybody knows a Curtis who was at the Burn ing Man Decompression party (it’s somebody on this list, my voicemail was in the address book) email me back 3-Nothing going at Karma on Tuesday 4 -ELF – Extra Low Frequencies To: novelty-lifeboat [novelty-lifeboat] “elf” – Extra Low Frequency Fields? I just found an int eresting coincidence regarding Terence’s hyperspace elves. Does anyone thi nk he and astrologer Linda Goodman were acquainted? She passed away in 199 5. In Goodman’s book, Star Signs she talks about “real” elves, and says they are the “Higher Angel of the S-elf.” She also states that “elf” mean s, “nature spirit,” or “exercising magical powers,” and that the low frequ ency field can possibly be “used for external control of the mind.” (p.446 ). I have a feeling that Linda Goodman and Terence might have gotten alon g well on this point. She also has ideas similar to his reg. the nature of Time. 5 cyberspaceorbit/towerblast.html I’m sending this to you instead of the list, feel free to forward if you wish. It mentions a harmonic blast in connection with the WTC. 6 Hey everyone! I need your hel p. Some of you may know Anushka. She was the promoter behind the Astral Pr ojection party last New Years Eve in Dumbo. Anyway, I just received a phon e call from her, and she is planning a great event on January 23rd which will entail a screening of a movie about Goa Trance. Her problem is that she is looking for a Downtempo Goa Trance DJ (preferably female) to spin a fter the movie, and needs to get the venue a demo by tomorrow! I don’t spi n much downtempo stuff, and I don’t currently have a demo to give her, oth erwise I would have jumped at the opportunity! Does anyone have Angeles’s (from Opium Den) contact info or know of another DJ who spins Downtempo Go a/Psy and would be able to get the venue a demo tape/cd by tomorrow (it is located on the upper west side)? Please contact me ASAP if you know of an yone, my email is icycoil at aol, and my cell # is (917) 501-2560. Thanks so much! -Merry 7 As Government Prepares to Investigate Thousands, A CLU Issues Multi-Lingual E2809CKnow Your Rights!E2809D Pamphlet to E ducate Public FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, November 14, 2001 NEW YORK- -On the heels of a new Justice Department plan to interview thousands of m en from Middle Eastern countries, the American Civil Liberties Union today released a pamphlet that offers guidance in seven languages including Arabic, Hindi and Spanish on what to do when stopped by law enforcement . The pamphlet E2809CKnow Your Rights: What to Do If Youre Stopped by the Police, the FBI, the INS or the Customs ServiceE2809D contains information for citizens and non-citizens alike and is intended for those who feel at risk of becoming innocent targets of a government in vestigation in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. E2809C Th e ACLU created the Know Your Rights pamphlets because we are concerned that many people, especially non-citizens, are not fully aware of their rights when being questioned or detained by the government,E2809D said Anthon y D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. E2809CThat concern has bee n heightened by the governments latest dragnet approach to its in vestigation and by the Attorney Generals apparent unwillingness t o respect the checks and balances that are so central to our democracy,E2 809D he added. E2809CNone of the advice in the pamphlet is meant to s top people from cooperating with proper law enforcement investigations,E2 809D Romero said, noting that the pamphlet advises those who are being q uestioned by authorities to be careful but truthful in their answers. The ACLU has criticized a Justice Department E2809CdragnetE2809D plan to pick up and interview at least 5,000 foreigners all men ages 18 to 33, from mostly Middle Eastern countries who entered the United States on n on-immigrant visas from January 1, 2000 to the present. The ACLU has also been troubled by reports that some people under investigation have been de tained and impeded in their ability to contact lawyers and their families. On October 29, the ACLU joined with a coalition of civil liberties, human rights and electronic privacy organizations in filing a Freedom of Inform ation Act request for information about the individuals arrested or detain ed since September 11.

It we nt a full 30 hours. People brought tents, hot dogs, dogs, things to burn, a nd good energy. I took a female friend who had never been to any of t hese things and she was blown away. And the meteor shower – wow. The fire was burning bright and everyone was screaming. At midnight we had cut out to The Burning Man Decompression for a couple hours. It was festive but full of drunks and the music was mostly pretty uninspiri ng. But even ‘Girls Just want to have Fun” sounded good in that atmos phere. 2-If anybody knows a Curtis who was at the Burning Man Deco mpression party (it’s somebody on this list, my voicemail was in the addres s book) email me back 3-Nothing going at Karma on Tuesday 4-ELF – Extra Low Frequencies To: novelty-lifeboat [novelty-lifeboat] “elf” – Extra Low Frequency Fields? I just found an interesting coincidence regarding Terence’s hyperspace elves. Does anyone think he and astrologer Linda Goodman were acquaint ed? She passed away in 1995. In Goodman’s book, Star Signs she t alks about “real” elves, and says they are the “Higher Angel of the S- elf.” She also states that “elf” means, “nature spirit,” or “exercisin g magical powers,” and that the low frequency field can possibly be “u sed for external control of the mind.” (p.446). I have a feel ing that Linda Goodman and Terence might have gotten along well on thi s point. She also has ideas similar to his reg. the nature of Time. B R 5 cyberspaceorbit/towerblast.html I’m sen ding this to you instead of the list, feel free to forward if you wish. It mentions a harmonic blast in connection with the WTC. 6 Hey everyone! I need your help. Some of you may know Anushka. She was the p romoter behind the Astral Projection party last New Years Eve in Dumbo. Any way, I just received a phone call from her, and she is planning a great eve nt on January 23rd which will entail a screening of a movie about Goa Trance. Her problem is that she is looking for a Downtempo Goa T rance DJ (preferably female) to spin after the movie, and needs to get the venue a demo by tomorrow! I don’t spin much downtempo stuff, and I don’t currently have a demo to give her, otherwise I would have jump ed at the opportunity! Does anyone have Angeles’s (from Opium Den) con tact info or know of another DJ who spins Downtempo Goa/Psy and would be able to get the venue a demo tape/cd by tomorrow (it is located on the upper west side)? Please contact me ASAP if you know of anyone, my emai l is icycoil at aol, and my cell # is (917) 501-2560. Thanks so much! -Mer ACLU Issues Multi-Lingual E2809CKnow Your Rights!E2809D Pamphlet to Educate Public FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, Novembe r 14, 2001 NEW YORKOn the heels of a new Justice Department plan to i nterview thousands of men from Middle Eastern countries, the American Civil Liberties Union today released a pamphlet that offers guidance in seven la nguages including Arabic, Hindi and Spanish on what to do when stoppe d by law enforcement. The pamphlet E2809CKnow Your Rights: What to Do If Youre Stopped by the Police, the FBI, the INS or the Custom s ServiceE2809D contains information for citizens and non-citizen s alike and is intended for those who feel at risk of becoming innocent tar gets of a government investigation in the wake of the September 11 terroris t attacks. E2809CThe ACLU created the Know Your Rights pamphlets because we are concerned that many people, especially non-citizens, are not fully aware of their rights when being questioned or detained by the gover nment,E2809D said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. E2 809CThat concern has been heightened by the governments latest d ragnet approach to its investigation and by the Attorney Generals apparent unwillingness to respect the checks and balances that are so centr al to our democracy,E2809D he added. E2809CNone of the advice in the pamphlet is meant to stop people from cooperating with proper law enforceme nt investigations,E2809D Romero said, noting that the pamphlet advises t hose who are being questioned by authorities to be careful but truthful in their answers. The ACLU has criticized a Justice Department E2809Cdragne tE2809D plan to pick up and interview at least 5,000 foreigners all m en ages 18 to 33, from mostly Middle Eastern countries who entered the U nited States on non-immigrant visas from January 1, 2000 to the present. Th e ACLU has also been troubled by reports that some people under investigati on have been detained and impeded in their ability to contact lawyers and t heir families. On October 29, the ACLU joined with a coalition of civil lib erties, human rights and electronic privacy organizations in filing a Freed om of Information Act request for information about the individuals arreste d or detained since September 11. To date, the FBI has denied the groupsE2 8099 request, while requests to the Justice Department and the Immigratio n and Naturalization Services have so far gone unanswered. An appeal to the FBI denial was filed on November 9, which is required before going to cour t. The ACLU is offering the pamphlets at no cost to ethnic organizations an d community groups, in addition to distributing them through its 53 affilia tes around the country. The pamphlet is currently available in English, Spa nish and Arabic and will soon be published in Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi and Hind i. It is written in a straightforward style and offers pragmatic advice in a question-and-answer format. Readers will find answers to the questions: E2809CWhat Constitutional Rights Do I Have?E2809D E2809CWhat If th e Police or FBI Contact Me?E2809D E2809CWhat If I Am Not a Citizen an d the INS Contacts MeE2809D? and E2809CWhat Are My Rights At Airports ?E2809D The pamphlets are available in pdf format on the ACLUs website.

#2130 Wed, 21 Nov 2001 19:53:49 Groan, my side RE: at it again Could someone please post this to as I am unable to give my side to mark’s slanderous attempt at resuscitating an old rivalry. And if anybody needs confirmation of my side they can call Wylie at 917-476-1864 or 212-267-4010 or email wylier18 at yahoo. This Sunday Wylie was, let’s just say, in an altered state of emotion and made a lot of baseless accusations – somthing about me taking a cassette of his(!). He does that sometimes in midsentence with people, if you’ve ever met him you know what i mean. No big deal. At one point he vented with who decided to send an email out to everybody he knew and added to the charges naming Jeff as a cassette thief/party hijacker/swindler of d/safetydance funds. Then Wylie realized he was wrong and thoroughly apologized to me. He then called Mark back – and told him not to post anything. But Mark decided to forward out Wylie’s complaint to his entire list anyway. This is slander in the purest sense. Knowingly sending out false information, using an uncooperative accuser. I have an apology from Wylie, do not own a cassette player, and have a whopping $70 in donations for the upcoming resuscitation of the d. And speaking of the d, I will be meeting with the DA on December 4 to determine the handover of my possessions and the d speakers. As for Safetydance, it’s a free list. I do not collect funds for wylie’s events. In indulging Wylie’s customary but momentary loss of sanity for his own ends, I feel that Mark has violated whatever remaining trust existed so i am severing all ties with him. We in trance work in a state of cooperation and trust is paramount. You have to WANT to help in order to volunteer. I just try to be a good example to others, by bringing food, picking up trash, telling others. I feel that I have done so much, that I have little patience for liars and naysayers. I work now. I do not have time to indulge other’s paranoid delusions or cater to their selfish whims. If anybody really cares about this, wants to hear all the bullshit, I started a list just for you. If you have a desire to waste your time, listwars-

#2131 Fri, 23 Nov 2001 22:53:30 Review of Tsunami at Vinyl in NYC (Permission to fwd to other lists granted) I’ll give this party a thumbs up. First off, Infected Mushroom was a no-show due to a strike in the Israeli airports, but I like my Fungi non-infected so that was OK.. Opher carried it off, though. I don’t think too many people really cared though, if you can guage to desire to go psychedelic by the way people dress. People generally dressed like they were watching Late Night with David Letterman eating Froot Loops. The place was PACKED wall to wall with israelis and russians. It reminded me of the good old days with Tsunami at Vinyl, but the Freaks were missing. You know who I’m talking about. The sound was deafening but thank God they had earplugs at the bar. I missed Deeper in Zen. Tristan and Erez were good. There was never a disappointing lull in any set. The place was pretty crowded and the place was CRAWLING with security. The place contrary to rumours is not going to close. My artist female companion tried to kill with the fire extinguisher a big russian ex-thug who was following me. Then, later on when i asked her to dance and had two bottles of paint in my hands, she grabbed the paints and threw them everywhere, on the floor, on people’s faces. It made a nice mosaic on the floor. My, how far she’s come since her Kostabi days. She warned me that if people aren’t going crazy next time i bring her to a trance event she will go ballistic on us again, so consider yourself warned!! So I got two warnings from security without getting ejected, one for me and one for her. Ohhhh, the coolness. Hats off to John Emmanuel and Yanni for pulling this together! I hope you made enough money to continue to do what you’re doing! P.S. I think it was out somewhere that angel was doing somthing saturday – he’s not.

More Information: Earth Celebrations 638 East 6th Street New York, NY 10009 (212) 777-7969 web earthcelebrations From: echostudio productions at yahoo dotcompost : on cyberactivism by Pendra Wilson Marie Antoinette, of all people, is everywhere in woman’s fashion mag azines these days, due to an apparent nostalgia for the romance of imperi alism. Lovely captions claim things like “No one knows how to show play -dressup better than a czarina”. Wmagazine, for example, has a fashion sp read of a series of photographs, taken in Bangkok, that celebrate third world prostitution, showing Thai citizens cast as fashion accessories. T eenagers, barely out of childhood, line up as hookers in a brothel, looki ng alluringly sexy in pasties and underpants, while their master/model looks nifty in a Miguel Androver Asian silk shirt. This is our new global symbolism. Marshall McLuhan recommended that we look at advertising as the most faithful reflection of our culture. Indeed; future anthropologi sts, sifting like Schliemann through the garbage heaps of Troy, will piec e together our culture’s consciousness,and it will be described as reta il totalitarism. As Hotmail, Amazon, and MP3 turn consumers into unwitt ing promoters who send aggressive advertising messages with every e-mail, the e-meme of capitalism has reached new depths. The late 1990’s gold ru sh of venture capitalism tried to turn the Internet into a virtual shop ping mall, the intention of technology being “to generate heat not light” to quote McLuhan once more. This makes one queasy when waking to the understanding that our cultural cool means also that it’s trE9s cool to be a cruel capitalist… meet the electronic activists Wired and Time m agazine have helped create a myth of cyber activists as dangerous, blue-h aired hacker punks who use the Internet to deface Web sites and e-bomb corporate inboxes. But electronic activists don’t fit any descriptive mol d, as they work in loose coalitions, financing and developing new conce pts of independent media technologies. ‘Little Brother’ digital witnessin g, for example, is used to oppose environmental destruction and human rig hts abuses. Try: [web amazonwatch] This is not just a North America n middle-class pasttime. Third world indigenous people of Chiapas for e xample, started using First world technology by sending satellite images by wireless links, and satellite phone to webcasters for worldwide viewin g bypassing corporate media and gathering an international support base . See: [web actlab.utexus,edu/zapatistas/guide/html] There is a trendy cyber-terminology associated with e-activism, which includes words like ‘counter corporate media,’ or ‘mutated forms of media’, coined by Inter net guru Douglas Reshkoff, which appear to imply a haughty superiority. B ut the reason is not that TV, radio, or print media has been rendered o bsolete. It’s just that civic dissent seems to be taking place below main stream media’s radar. self-publish, because no one else would. A local example of this is th e takeover of the Vancouver community access channel by Shaw cable this f all, which put an end to community access. Working TV was a cable acces s program that had been broadcast three times a week for eight years. It stared off confronting negative sterotypes of orgainzed labour and late r expanded into coverage of other issues. Since being kicked off the Shaw cable network, Working TV has been streaming on the Internet, even if this is not producer Julius Fisher’s first choice of broadcast medium. [web workingTV] If we can subtract all the hype about the Inte rnet and clear our heads, what remains is that in our ironic culture of media saturation and the parallel narrowing of discourse, the Internet r emains the only place where marginal points of view can find representa tion. Utilizing technology for social justice, community development, e nvironmental and political action is a David-versus-Goliath story. Some groups use technology aggressively in order to facilitate community buil ding, such as Techrock [web techrocks.org], an organization dedicated t o accelerating social and political progress. Their tools are innovative applications of computers and the Internet. They teaching community maker s, nonprofit foundations, environmental and political action groups how to appropriate marketing tactics from the failed dots into citizen s uccesses. Ecommerce measured its potential only according to a vision o f the bottom line. When e-commerce strategies are retooled for community advocacy they become successful for e-base communities. As the ranks of Internet industry enthusiasts and investors dwindle, activists might be the ones to feel inversely more comforted by what the internet can do f or them. By using older cheaper technology (i.e. last year’s computers) o r applying the cottage science of refurbishing and upgrading their mach inery, citizens with somthing more important on their minds than shoppin g can communicate and effect change. E-base community activism is usefu l for those of us that are too busy to go to a demonstration but still wa nt to be active and effective as citizens. In fact, digital activism can be downright convenient: just visit[web protest.net] or [web ris eup.net], and choose froma list of 131 activist subjects. Sign up with yo ur email address and they will send you current events news, e-mail des tinations, and for those of us with writer’s block, there are letters alr eady written with ‘cut and paste content’ options. Of course, in these post WTC times, every level of civic activism will likely be considered ‘ terrorist’. As far as our governments are concerned, shopping is our on ly form of patriotic duty. Even before September 11th, CSIS considered Am nesty International and the United Church of Canada as ‘suspicious’. No w, in the thrall of fully paranoid hallucinations, they will find a terro rist under every innocent citizens’ cause. Wartime means hardship, and electronic privacy suddenly seems like a superfluous luxury, as our citiz ens’ rights get clearcut for the sake of the promised measure of safety. The ‘Mobilization Against Terrorism’ Act means that it won’t be neccess ary to obtain a court order to monitor voicemail or email. It also means that developers of cryptography applications will be forced to hand ove r their decoding keys, eliminating secure transmissions over the Internet and enabling the ‘backdooring’ of those products. What is somehow omi tted when we are told that secret auditing will protect our security, is that it also makes the Internet truly vulnerable to digital criminals. Al l this is like looking backward at McCarthyism through the rearview mir ror. It may be easy, in this climate of Orwellian delusion, to find mor e terrorists than citizens, and judge the means of activism as tools for subversion. For example, terror may strike at the paranoid heart of CSI S when people at home begin to make Robot Graffiti Writers-a robot design ed for the application of pavement graffiti at 15mph, which is useful for long wordy messages like: ‘THE PRIVATIZATION OF OUR WATER IS FILTERING OUT DEMOCRACY’. [web appliedautonomy]. Or download the instruction to build noise robots, which the instructions promises us are cheap-if w e can still afford to go onto the Internet, and selective broadband acces s doesn’t once and for all destroy the egalitarian vision of the Intern et. But fast does not equal free. Broadband flat rates are not commerci ally viable, and there is talk of restructuring billing and metering acce ss. As the digital divide between tech-have’s and access havenot’s incr eases, this problem is becoming a hot-button issue among various activist communities. Luckily there is tech compression development that is alrea dy being applied with RealPlayer for those IT high quality full screen TV looks. The answers, though, might not be in discovering the magic bull et new but consciously applying diverse levels of low technology access; It’s still not time to throw away our phone-jacks. Remember: the Intern et was to be the new gold mine of capitalist opportunity. In fact, its interactive past is being overwritten with the relentless marketing of th e information age. But digital activists may celebrate that it has rece ntly become associated with apocalyptic visions of dotcom layoffs and imp loding wealth, as this may help them yet to restore the supremacy of so cial over commercial content. Let us hope that non-commercial communica tion and new electronic media will become, by default, our future tools a s we learn what our unfolding responsibilities as ‘good citizens’ reall y mean. Let’s be accused of treason, and write graffiti: The future is not in shopping.

Smoke a hooka, have a bite to eat, have a drink and share the dream. There’s lots of opportunities to travel far into oneself, this is the opportunity to bond with others. Put names to faces and exchange information, we are a travelling band and need to make the connections to keep united no matter where we travel or where we go!” If your birthday is in December, let me know, you Sadge or Cap!! 12/15 CHANUKAH PARTY at SPEEED presented by Hommega Productions lineup:P R O C E S S ( CREAM CROP / T.I.P RECORDS ) Y A H E L ( HOMMEGA / PHONOKOL RECORDS ) L I R A N ( HOMMEGA RECORDS ) D O O M ( SHAFFEL RECORDS ) hotline: INFO – 212 946 5687 This list includes NYC and major international psy-trance events for north american psy-trance events northamtrance OPEN (nothing scheduled) All Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays WEEKENDS- Fridays 11/30; Saturdays 11/24, 12/22, 12/29 WEEKEND HOLIDAYS – Fridays 12/28, Saturdays 12/22, 12/29 SCHEDULE Nov 28 – Wed – Pyramid ave a between 6&7 free before 11pm (Full-on dance) FLOURO BY: KURA,UNKNOWSHROOMS SPECIAL QUEST Opium Den 3rd b/w 2nd & 3rd ave – ID21+ Nov 29 – Thu – Omnitribe at Neva 7th ave south b/w Morton & Leroy – NO ID Unofficial Preparty Hype at BQE, 300 N6th at metropolitan; take L to Bedford 718-388-2211 DJ Steve-O ID21+ Nov 30 – Fri – OPEN PRIME DATE!!

After all the Kool Aid I’m starting to feel like Jim Jones. Give trance jobs to ourselves and the natives. Reignite Mayan spirituality. Take a lot of shrooms. You get the picture: in all seriousness i know of a guy who will sell 150 acres of land in the heart of mayan country (near Oxkutzcab and Xul in the yucatan, mexico) for 7000 USD. for point of reference, this land is about 60 miles due south west of chichen itza. most of it is jungle, about half and half hilly and flat with some cave areas also. now what could i do with it if i managed to people and money to purchase. i wonder how feasible it would be to have an annual trance festival on the land if a VERY FRIENDLY to trance person OWNED said land, in the middle of mayan jungle? being a land owner in the same region as chichen itza may well help out in other endeavors in the country. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. we may be on to somthing. andys at ezy.ne

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

The Lojik Virus multiplies by means of communication between sentient lifeforms. It coalesces in areas of intense intellectual activity until it reaches a critical mass and then explodes in a wave of information propogation, much like a mold pops out its spores. The spores are called Logic Bombs.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

#2143 Wed, 5 Dec 2001 13:01:01 Wed, 5 Dec 2001 13:01:00 Robots call for entry Traders and accountants need not apply | |Call for Entries | |The first annual ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show will take place in New |York City on Saturday, May 25th, 2002. Creators of talented robots are |invited to submit their robots for possible inclusion in the show. The |deadline for entries is February 1st, 2002. | |Please see the website: | |artbots.org | |for more information and instructions for entering. | |- | |About ArtBots: | |ArtBots is a cross between a traditional talent show and a juried art |exhibition. We have chosen this format so that both robots that make |time-based art (e.g. a robot that plays music) and robots that create |static output (e.g. a robot that draws a picture) can participate. There |are no firm rules that define what qualifies as an art-making robot; if |you think it’s a robot and you think that it’s making art, then it’s an |art-making robot. However, since we have a limited amount of space and |resources, we will select a fixed number of participating robots from |the pool of entrants. | |Now for some Q&A: | |Q: Is this a robot competition? |A: Not really, it’s more of a show. However, there will be at least two |awards given out at the end: the “Audience Choice Award” and the |”Robots’ Choice Award.” | |Q: How many robots will be in the show? |A: About ten. | |Q: Where will the event take place? |A: Somewhere in New York City. The exact location has not yet been |selected. | |Q: Is ArtBots open to people outside of New York City? |A: Of course. However, we’re not in a position to offer anything in the |way of accommodations for out-of-town guests. | |Q: Is there a swimsuit competition? |A: No, there is no swimsuit competition. | |Q: What’s the point of ArtBots? |A: To have fun and to celebrate some creative, non-violent and |not-so-competitive aspects of robotics. | |……. |……..ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show……. |…………..artbots.org………….

Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now and legend tells that a nakedmtskip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness. Below are some suggestions I have to make your Summer Solstice Rituals complete as well as enlightening…I’ve even included some of my favorite meditations and incantations. Enjoy, and Blessed Be!

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

The place was packed with very good people, a mishmash of trance people, artists, rainbow people, and all the other allies. The Chapel for the Sacred Mirrors have come one step closer to completion. I highly recommend getting copies of Transfiguration and Sacred Mirrors from web alexgrey He did all the inner work for years before he escaped to a higher velocity. He is an inspiration to transcend. Wizzy Noise got to play. Charity did a great fire twirling event. A lot of art got sold. The slideshow was wonderful; he met his wife while tripping!! Much props to everyone including Kelly and Eli Morgan for putting this together. Rocky, James Deeper in Zen, David Coventry all had worked months on video that morphed out Alex Grey’s art. Video was projected from on top of a 10′ high pyramid built with Sacred Geometry maestro DNA Dan looked like the all seeing eye on the back of a one dollar bill. There will be more of these most special and meaningful of events. I get weary of going to the same old partiesseeing the same old tapestries seeing the same people again and again. It’s great for the first five years but change has been needed for some time, and the solution is reaching out to allied communities and forming a true psychedelic spiritual movement. The Afterparties From various reports today the afterparties all were not worth going to, for the basic reason that there were THREE of them, and multiple afterparties suck big time if for no other reason than that they split the community and are even more divisive than this email. I’m glad I just went home with my loved one and crashed. -The official afterparty which costs $40 had a missing palmpilot incident and everyone was kicked out at 10am -The $5 unofficial afterparty downtown was not attended -And the party in brooklyn that was supposed to be the afterparty for wizzy noise was moned at the last minute to double book with alex grey – damn that to HELL! Wizzy Noise at Limelight Friday’s party at Limelight was packed too. It was the first psy-trance event there in recent memory and it was a success. Kiana is to be commended for putting it together. Some BTS guys showed but I culd not extricate them without a reason; consequently a bag or two got stolen. Lisa did a painting performance from the stage where she threw black paint and drinks at the crowd; many guidos were very pissed and some girls were trying to help her. Although the place closed early at 6am we all moved to a penthouse in Williamsburg to finish up and hear Wizzy Noise..

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

(Don’t worry, the intercosmic crystals of time hovering softly, reflecting the eternal colors that keep the baby world warm, will be waiting for the right time for you to re-dis-cover them.) Conflict between differing knowledges of future can cause chafing, but the differing knowledges of past will balance out the battlefield and they’ll do a beautiful yet sad dance and meet again in the present. faith lives to SEE the future, some call it ‘death’ some call it a ‘space cowboy’ some call it a ‘revelation’ or ‘the mutha of all memories’ some call it ‘awakening’ and others ‘just another turn of the (slightly lop-sided) wheel; a ‘re-birth’. …I think it’s a ‘re-mirth’. a rejuvenation, a healing, an immersion in a cosmic beauty long forgotten. We are Creative. You create life. You create beauty. You create reality. We all do. It is not easy though. Some may be better at this than others. Some may have completely forgotten they are creating, ….they are still creating. Those who have seen certain workings from numerous perceptions may become beacons of reality. then they may decide to become technicians of reality, musicians of reality, researchers of reality, architects, mechanics, and construction workers of reality. scientists and artists of reality. but… what is “reality”? It is your current state of dissatisfaction. Or your wonderfully comfortable state. Or that flowing balance you work so hard at maintaining. It is what you desire to improve upon or explore, It is what you reach out to, or let sink in. Many are at work to help create and maintain this reality, but if you get bored that’s okay, just check out the next one, over there. Or fiddle with your perception of this one, but bee careful! The savage beast drinks from the stream. The mischievous one tries to start a fight. The submissive one lowers his head. The alpha-male doesn’t approve. The mother watches quietly. The young female in heat cleans herself. A foreign pack enters curiously and everybody screams and growls cautiously. The scientist takes some notes. The monk chants his mantra. The chimera roars The banshees wail and demons laugh wickedly. The poet sells out. The crowd goes, “wild.” The addict gets a fix. A child runs and laughs. A pedestrian rushes by it all because he doesn’t have the time. And a bookworm is entranced by a fantasy. The gravity of our collective awareness is so intense sometimes I just want to lose… wait… I mean float in black womb of infinite psychic space. maybe that’s what dreams are for, a little between waking treat to release the body and enjoy limitless possibilities of consciousness.

Oh well, time to clock in. -E PS: I am attatching a little monologue you might have seen before, even you have it memorized it is most definitely worth reading again. HAMLET: To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub; that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of somthing after death, The undiscover’d country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember’d.FREE. Affordable Indian Dinner optional if you want to come early 8-10pm the party starts at 10pm and goes until 4am.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. ” Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust -filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the ot her. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict fr iends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for mo re than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather awa y from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of the m will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” sa ys Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slop e of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for t heir d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the p olice come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pa kistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in s mall groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year.

Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Oct 31 Halloween Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s Start Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

If you doubt, but your perception is obscured, you gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaarrtay! Don’t forget what you are not supposed to forget. Running hatred through your filter is hazardous, be sure to rinse & repeat (although i recomend sympathizing instead). freedom creeps up on you. The future so briight, I gotta wear shades. A quick whirs through your field of vision. Destiny is a roaring lion, if you pull the thorn out from his paw, he will be kind to you. I’m not all there right now.

Letting time seep in like a lullaby, remembering how to remember: The serpent has a secret. The apple is called Delicious. Zero is discovering. One is atracting. Two is facing. Three is activating. Four is knowing. Five is understanding. Six is helping. Seven is participating. Eight is harmonizing. Nine is manifesting. Ten is completing. Eleven is releasing. Twelve is synchronizing. Thirteen is accepting. fourteen is embracing. . . . . … O weary Karmachanics! May you find that which are seeking, hear (here), hidden, amidst the rainforests of discoveries, and the program codes that reveal themselves humbly. Sci-Fi techno-hieroglyphs are sprouting from their nourished seeds. The reality-sysytems they ‘will’ become is not far. We are helping. The unborn unbored life is dreaming us and beckoning us back to itself. Be not afraid! there is a time for work. there is a time for rest. there is a time for pain. there is a time for joy. there is a time for exploration. there is a time for celebration. -v^v^v^v^v^V^V^WWVVV

#2160 Wed, 19 Dec 2001 17:00:40 Wed, 19 Dec 2001 17:00:39 The Bridget Jones Economy Cc: personalbest New Yorkers, wild and free… The Bridget Jones economy Dec 20th 2001 | LONDON AND NEW YORK Tony Stone The Economist How young singles shape city culture, lifestyles and economies ONE of the funniest films of 2001, “Bridget Jones’s Diary”, depicts the life of a young woman who fails over and over again to keep the new year’s resolutions that open the book on which the film is based. “I will not”, Bridget promises herself, Drink more than 14 alcohol units a week. Smoke. Spend more than earn. Fall for any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, people with girlfriends or wives, misogynists, megalomaniacs, chauvinists, freeloaders, perverts. Sulk about having no boyfriend. Bridget lives alone in London, worries constantly about being 30-somthing but still single, resents “Smug Marrieds”, lives mainly on chocolate, cigarettes and wine, and occasionally tries to dump the resulting cellulite with a trip to the gym. When her affair with her dreadful boss ends in the inevitable disaster, she is propped up by her gang of friends: two single women and a gay man. Bridget may be a caricature, but only just. Her creator, Helen Fielding, has drawn someone much more human and recognisable than the elegant and wealthy young New York singles in the TV shows “Friends” and “Sex and the City”. Yet all three portray the people who now dominate and shape the rich world’s city life, not just in New York and London, but increasingly in Tokyo, Stockholm, Paris and Santiago: well-educated, single professionals in their 20s and 30s. Moralists fret about them; marketing folk court them; urban developers want to lure them. They are the main consumers and producers of the creative economy that revolves around advertising, publishing, entertainment and media. More than any other social group, they have time, money and a passion for spending on whatever is fashionable, frivolous and fun. Women find work is fun and it pays well, so they put off marriage Bridget and her friends have begun to show up in the census figures. Spotting them is tricky: many of those who live alone are not Bridgets, and many Bridgets share a pad with someone else. However, the evidence adds up. In America’s 2000 Census, one-person households outnumbered for the first time married families with children. Many of these households consist of divorced, widowed or elderly people. But the biggest rise in the 1990s was in the proportion of young people who are living alone. In the past three decades, says Jason Fields of the US Census Bureau, the proportion of 20-24-year-old American women who have not married doubled from 36% to 73%; and that of 30-34-year-olds more than tripled, from 6% to 22%. Some of these singles-but again, not all-are single mothers, another fast-growing group. And many others (and their male equivalents) are Friends, not Bridgets: they share with other youngsters. The 1990s saw a rise in the proportion of households in which people live with someone to whom they are not related, either by blood or marriage. What explains the trend? The key seems to be the higher education of women. In most rich countries, more women than men now go to university; in particular, women make up more than half the students taking professional qualifications in subjects such as law and medicine. As new job opportunities unfold, they often earn as much as similarly qualified men. They find work is fun and it pays well, so they put off marriage. Husbands and babies can wait. “Today, people know that they are going to be married till they are 80. So 40 is the new 30,” says Marcus Matthews of Kaagan Research, a market-research firm. Up to now, that has been a strategy that makes sense. More people marry today-at least once-than ever before. Thus fewer than 7% of Americans in their early 50s have never married. Compare that, says Nicholas Eberstadt, a demographer at the American Enterprise Institute, with America in the late 19th century. Then, the marriage market was far less efficient and 20-25% of women never married. The result, he says, has been a sort of democratisation of marriage and motherhood, where almost all women marry and most have at least one child. But the longer women delay, the bigger the chance of failing to do either. Bridget sums up the problem. “The trouble with trying to go out with people when you get older is that everything is so loaded,” she grumbles. When you are partnerless in your 30s, the mild bore of not being in a relationship-no sex, not having anyone to hang out with on Sundays, going home from parties on your own all the time-gets infused with the paranoid notion that the reason you are not in a relationship is your age. The whole thing builds up out of all proportion, so finding a relationship seems a dazzling, almost insurmountable goal, and when you do start going out with someone it cannot possibly live up to expectations. The odds are further stacked by the fact that the cities which attract Bridgets are also inevitably places where a disproportionate number of the men are gay. In “Boiler Room”, a film about life in New York, a group of beefy stockbrokers teases the gay men at the next table. “You guys ought to find your own island,” jeers one. “You’re on it,” retorts one of his targets. No wonder young New York women, already a majority, fret so much about the difficulties of finding a partner. Meeting and mating The boyfriend-hunt is a big part of Bridget’s life. And so it is with real-life Bridgets, many of whom find the big cities to which they flock lonely places. In competitive New York, the problem is at its worst: the Machiavellian brutality of office politics makes it hard to form friendships with the folk at work. “You want to be where the potential partners are, not stuck out in the suburbs” Besides, many young New Yorkers live alone in tiny apartments. Their counterparts in London typically share, finding a flat through the pages of Loot, a newspaper in which the ads lay down in great detail the desirable qualities of “third woman to share non-smoking mixed house in Kentish Town”. In London, the third woman could expect to meet the friends of her flat-mates in front of the television in the living room, or scavenging in the fridge in the communal kitchen. In New York, the only way to meet people is to go out. So location becomes everything. As with other efficient markets, geographical clustering thrives: “You want to be where the potential partners are, not stuck out in the suburbs,” argues Robert Beauregard, professor at the New School for Social Research. A few corners of Brooklyn, such as Park Slope, or Hoboken, New Jersey, may pass muster. But mainly that means Manhattan, and especially quarters such as the Flatiron district or “Alphabet City”: Avenues A, B, C and D on the Lower East Side, where Bridgets rub shoulders with Dominican immigrants. The aim is to find somewhere affordable and fun. When Ruth Bienstock of the Corcoran Group, a New York estate agent, finds homes for young professionals, she tells them: “This exorbitant rent is because you are joining a club. God knows it’s not for the space. The privilege of being part of this energy is what you’re paying for.” If you are a single woman, you want access to eligible men included in the price. In July 2001, the New York Observer published a helpful article on “Where the Boys Are”, with colour-coding to show which neighbourhoods had more men than women. In general, the boys tend to be in neighbouring bars and restaurants. New York restaurants typically have a large and welcoming space in which groups of women can feel comfortable drinking together. The tone at Lot 61, a fashionable nightclub run by Bruce Leggett-Flynn on West 21st Street in New York, is set by expensively groomed young women who arrive for the evening in predatory groups. In Prada denim jackets and Jimmy Choo shoes, they expect to buy their own drinks with their own money. “The women are in complete control,” Mr Leggett-Flynn observes. For those who dislike staying up past midnight on “school days”, bars are not the only bet. Fashionable food shops have become hunting grounds in the mating game. In New York, grocery shops such as Fairway and Zabar are packed after work with singles. Not long ago, one couple celebrated their meeting in the cheese section of Fairway by getting married there. An enterprising shopping mall, the Trafford Centre in England’s Manchester, has taken this to its logical conclusion and runs a singles night. “I’m single, let’s mingle,” urge the stickers that shoppers receive. If the cheese counter fails, there is always the gym If the cheese counter fails, there is always the gym. After work, America’s young singles head for the rowing machines, the workout and the juice bar. All those pounding, straining figures are not in pursuit just of the body beautiful. Gyms and health clubs are sexy places. Finding Bridget a mate has produced all sorts of entrepreneurial solutions. Lots of them are on the Internet, allowing the hunt to continue through working hours. Adam Klein, a consultant with Booz-Allen & Hamilton who was until recently running a search site called Ask Jeeves, says that over two-thirds of those who came to search were women, mainly aged between 18 and 35. That contrasts with sites such as Google, used mainly by men. Half an hour before people leave work for home, the site regularly sees a surge in seekers. Lots of women are hunting for dating sites, he says, “one of the fastest growing sections of the Internet”. Among them are Match, which claims to be “the web’s largest community of discriminating eligible singles”. Another site, Its Just Lunch, is a “specialised dating service for busy professionals” offering browsers a low-commitment chance to meet. Several enterprising companies run “speed dating” services: a group of would-be partners chat to each other for precisely six minutes in a bar: then a bell rings, and all move on to the next person. For some, “psychic maintenance” easily costs as much as rent All this partner-hunting is stressful-and stress can be costly. Psychoanalysis, reports Jennifer Senior, a successful journalist on New York magazine, is a big expense for many of her colleagues and friends. “Psychic maintenance” easily costs as much as rent. She pays $1,700 to share a flat with another woman in the East Village; therapy, which she recently stopped, cost her $1,200 “and I was getting the bulk rate”. Almost everyone in her office, which is full of young singles, and most of the men she has dated have tried therapy at some stage. There is a cheaper option. When it all grew too much for Bridget, she picked up the telephone and rang her friends, Jude, Shazzer and the gay Tom. “I know we’re all psychotic, single and completely dysfunctional,” says Tom at one point, “but it’s a bit like a family, isn’t it?” Others have the same thought. In an article in the magazine of the Sunday New York Times in October, Ethan Watters, a writer living in San Francisco, described life “In My Tribe”. As he moved into his 30s, he found that he had become part of a group of friends. “After a few years, that group’s membership and routines began to solidify. We met weekly for dinner. We travelled together, moved one another’s furniture, painted one another’s apartments, cheered one another on at sporting events. One day, I discovered that I belonged to an urban tribe.” Many singles are part of these tribes. Their intertwined lives have become more flexible thanks to the mobile telephone, which allows plans to be set and changed in a matter of moments. The tribe provides the support and security that the fragmented families of these young singles frequently fail to offer. Markets for one Because young singles have so much disposable money and because they set so many trends, they are a market that many companies long to sell to. But their independence and unpredictability make them hard to define and capture. “Targeting Bridget Jones is like trying to nail Jello to the wall,” says David Copper, a marketing specialist at Bain, despairingly. Bridget’s taste for booze makes her prime quarry for companies such as Allied Domecq, where Matt Wiant, head of American marketing, argues that the drinking tastes of young women are the key to creating a market for various spirits that were once drunk mainly by middle-aged men after dinner and with a cigar. Courvoisier brandy is a case in point: his company is trying to reinvent it by persuading young women to order it mixed with Cointreau and cranberry juice. Young men, he argues, look to their girlfriends for suggestions on what is and isn’t fashionable to quaff. Young single women drink plenty: figures from the Life Style study by DDB, a market-research firm in Chicago, suggest that 45% of single 24-35-year-old women who earn at least $20,000 a year confess to having too much to drink sometimes, compared with 24% of women in general. “Blurry goofun tonight,” slurs Bridget after a binge. And they eat sporadically, when they are not dieting: Bridget is no whiz at maths, but she knows the calorific value of an olive to within a decimal point. Because cooking for one is a bore, and eating alone is miserable, singles are big buyers of pre-prepared food. Their ovens are for extra storage; the main cooking utensil is the microwave. Bridget Jones and her friends raid Marks & Spencer, a big British retailer, for “two bottles of wine (1 fizzy, 1 white)” and 1 tub hummus & pkt of mini-pittas 12 smoked salmon and cream cheese pin-wheels 1 raspberry pavlova 1 tiramisu (party size) 2 Swiss Mountain Bars Marks & Spencer took rather longer than Ms Fielding to notice the part that it plays in stuffing calories into British singles. But the store recently realised that its portions-for-one of pre-prepared food were designed for the bird-like and conservative appetites of the elderly, and not for young women (let alone young men). It now does a good trade in large one-person helpings of ethnic goodies such as noodles and lamb tagine. Bridget is no whiz at maths, but she knows the calorific value of an olive to within a decimal point But the main thing that distinguishes Bridget from her married sisters is the amount of time and money she spends on simply having fun. Most of that fun happens outside the apartment. Scott McDonald, head of marketing research at Conde Nast, publishers of Vogue and other Bridget mind-fodder, is impressed by how much single professional women in their 30s spend on holidays, art classes, music lessons, health clubs, concerts, yoga classes, movies, eating out-and, of course, shopping and shopping. DDB’s study found them especially likely to jog, play tennis and take exercise classes. Even more than marketing men, though, cities in need of economic revival have their eyes on young singles. Many of them have grasped that these are the shock troops of creativity and culture; that they drive gentrification because they are willing to live in the lofts of inner cities and that they bring with them lots of restaurants and night life. They lead what Allen Scott, director of the centre for globalisation and policy research at the University of California, Los Angeles, calls “the aesthetisation” of the city, and the evolution of “the city as spectacle”. Here, it is not just Bridget who counts, but also her gay friend Tom. Richard Florida of Carnegie Mellon University argues that the most creative cities in the United States are also those with the highest proportion of gay households. The reason is partly that gay households have the hefty spending power of two earners without the expense of children. But, in addition, their presence goes with the sort of open, diverse city culture in which creative industries thrive. So the key components of urban growth, he argues, are “technology, talent and tolerance”. To measure their presence, he has constructed a “gay index” which turns out to be highly correlated with a “coolness index”, measuring the hip and the trendy. Surveying 50 cities, he found that the leading indicator of high-technology success is a large gay population, followed by a high concentration of artists, writers, musicians and actors. Happily ever after? What happens to Bridget and her friends in the wake of September 11th, an event that may subtly but irreparably change the life of the young? Thomas Miller of Roper ASW, a market-research organisation, argues that the polls which his organisation has conducted show that the group whose confidence has been most undermined by those horrific events is people in their 20s. “It has had a profound effect on young people who grew up in a period of affluence,” he says. Many felt that one of life’s main purposes was to have fun. Perhaps that will now change. Maybe the need for companionship and the comfort of a durable relationship will become more important. In future, Bridget Jones may be more willing to settle sooner for marriage and less eager to find self-fulfilment at work. Young women reared to believe that a career is their birthright have done better in the job market than the marriage market. At the end of her day, Bridget is hugely relieved to find that Mark Darcy really loves her. Could that really be what matters most to single women in their 30s? web economist/business/displayStory.cfm?StoryID883664

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

Possible location: Twins. June 21 Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now and legend tells that a nakedmtskip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness. Below are some suggestions I have to make your Summer Solstice Rituals complete as well as enlightening…I’ve even included some of my favorite meditations and incantations. Enjoy, and Blessed Be!

Dec 10 – Tues – d Sagittarian Birthday Celebration November 22-December 21 Centaur hunters.hmm? already open. You started without me? Fair distribution is a bitch. (oh, im just kidding, sorry ma’am) (whathefuck? – do I have rocks in my underwear? where did this baby-powder ome from? what’s that smell? rotting eggs? no, I think you look great. …oh, Mercer St. is that way 🙂 pardon, was I leaking? -okay now just the guys: “Sooooooow?” Too much galactose in your diet, cut back on the salt every moon my dear. If you doubt, but your perception is obscured, you gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaarrtay! Don’t forget what you are not supposed to forget. Running hatred through your filter is hazardous, be sure to rinse & repeat (although i recomend sympathizing instead). freedom creeps up on you. The future so briight, I gotta wear shades. A quick whirs through your field of vision. Destiny is a roaring lion, if you pull the thorn out from his paw, he will be kind to you. I’m not all there right now. (words- dividing…) The absense is causing me to bother you. It’s not my fault..? How was I to know? How? Was. Eye? Two. No. . . . Letting time seep in like a lullaby, remembering how to remember: The serpent has a secret. The apple is called Delicious. Zero is discovering. One is atracting. Two is facing. Three is activating. Four is knowing. Five is understanding. Six is helping. Seven is participating. Eight is harmonizing. Nine is manifesting. Ten is completing. Eleven is releasing. Twelve is synchronizing. Thirteen is accepting. fourteen is embracing. . . . . … O weary Karmachanics! May you find that which are seeking, hear (here), hidden, amidst the rainforests of discoveries, and the program codes that reveal themselves humbly. Sci-Fi techno-hieroglyphs are sprouting from their nourished seeds. The reality-sysytems they ‘will’ become is not far. We are helping. The unborn unbored life is dreaming us and beckoning us back to itself. Be not afraid! there is a time for work. there is a time for rest. there is a time for pain. there is a time for joy. there is a time for exploration. there is a time for celebration. -v^v^v^v^v^V^V^WWVVV

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

If you doubt, but your perception is obscured, you gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaarrtay! Don’t forget what you are not supposed to forget. Running hatred through your filter is hazardous, be sure to rinse & repeat (although i recomend sympathizing instead). freedom creeps up on you. The future so briight, I gotta wear shades. A quick whirs through your field of vision. Destiny is a roaring lion, if you pull the thorn out from his paw, he will be kind to you. I’m not all there right now. (words- dividing…) The absense is causing me to bother you. It’s not my fault..? How was I to know? How? Was. Eye? Two. No. . . .

Four is knowing. Five is understanding. Six is helping. Seven is participating. Eight is harmonizing. Nine is manifesting. Ten is completing. Eleven is releasing. Twelve is synchronizing. Thirteen is accepting. fourteen is embracing. . . . . … O weary Karmachanics! May you find that which are seeking, hear (here), hidden, amidst the rainforests of discoveries, and the program codes that reveal themselves humbly. Sci-Fi techno-hieroglyphs are sprouting from their nourished seeds. The reality-sysytems they ‘will’ become is not far. We are helping. The unborn unbored life is dreaming us and beckoning us back to itself. Be not afraid! there is a time for work. there is a time for rest. there is a time for pain. there is a time for joy. there is a time for exploration. there is a time for celebration. -v^v^v^v^v^V^V^WWVVV
