The Devotional Ministry of Trance will then decide what to do with those names, and it will most likely go to a vote. Jeff promises not to create anymore "DMT" lists or "splinter groups" without a vote of the congregation of The Devotional Ministry of Trance. After which, Mark will make Jeff listowner of Brainmachines, and Mark will remain moderator so he can still post (this was the situation prior to June 13). There was some confusion as to the meaning of the terms "listowner" and "moderator". The definitions that Mark used were based on their traditional meaning when applied to email mass distribution systems; the definitions Jeff used were closer to their definitions in common English. These definitions were further confused by yahoogroups, which is run by a bunch of kids who think "unix" is a phone system. Jeff took these terms to describe each other's authority within the Ministry, Mark took these terms as to describe the administriva of the list itself. Nevermind that someone can't actually own a group of people or a democracy, and that the list is rarely literally moderated. Regardless, it has been decided that the person who is "moderator" (as named by yahoogroups) is front person and preacher, and the that the person who is "listowner" is administrator and pastor, such that the "moderator" takes the lead in making events happen and the "listowner" keeps the "moderator" accountable. Almost needless to say, it makes more sense that Jeff be "moderator" and Mark be "listowner". However, due to Jeff's pending legal battle, Mark will be make Jeff "listowner" (as according to yahoogroups) solely for that purpose, and Jeff promises to make Mark listowner as soon as his case is settled one way or another. While named "moderator" (according to yahoogroups), Mark will retain all of the administrative privileges of "listowner" in the meanwhile. Jeff and Mark further agreed that they will continue the division of labor established prior to June 13: that Jeff raises money, develops themes for events, and recruits new members; and that Mark runs administrates the list, posts the polls, and books the DJ's.

I know I am. Who has to be Gandalf? Jacob! I wanna be Elrond the Half Elf! There's always Sauron too - no comment! Astrid woulda beena good Galadriel. Who's going to be Frodo? Doron, bien sur.

THAT was the best part - the people! As a reunion of sorts after 9/11 it was muchneededtogetherness. Tks SS! LOTR is in the GERMINATION stages....if you arent familiar w/the saga now is the time to plow yer way thru it - research or refresher- it will catch you up and spellbind you. This event will be total immersion fantasy so start revving your right and left cerebral cortexes - we creating a world where yellow rat bastard 'biggie' pants havent been invented yet! :) No date has been yet set, so while we are organizing the venue etc, (mostly depending on the outcome of Mike the Farmer's legal case), and other tech-y things, you can do your part by starting to plan your costumes and contribution. My own Ent-wife costume is gonna take the entire wigstaff of patricia fields and 6 foot dbleplus Boris is planning on Gollum! in tights! :) some things to get you started: Costumes: ugliest Orc, shieldmaidens, heroic warriors with magic swords, elves(!) dwarves, magicians, ringwraiths, halflings,etc. Artists: On-Topic backdrops and other things that you'd imagine Lothlorien would look like. (large quantities of yellow mallorn- flowers to adorn the flets) The Last Homely House of Elrond for the chai/chill area.... This is gonna take some time to organize (and if you were at Burning Elf you know how meticulous we are...did someone say aaaaaaaaaaaanal? :), so yaaaas, we are getting our staff/helper list together, but no its not happening tomorrow. thanks to all those who've already written about helping - we'll be calling you! For security reasons, do not post this to other lists. I do not want to be fielding 'email from canada' like last time! Well thats all for now, lori and boris (Lollygoa) To: safetydance Subject: Anyone need a car? From: Ben Sorry to be off topic, especially for those of you who are on psy-trance list also... but my girlfriend Jaime (some of you have met her at parties.. 6ft blonde girl) recently moved to NYC and needs to sell her car. It's a 94 Nissan Sentra, 75K miles, in -very- good condition. She wants $2700 for it.. a lot lower than market value, so as to hopefully sell it without having to put ads in the paper and whatnot. If you are interested, give me a call at 646-872-9884. Thanks nogloom (ben) light-o-matic Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2001 16:01:56 To: SafetyDance Subject: Join the DMT! From: Machinelf Here you'll find a lot of good underground party information but if you want to actually get involved - as in DJ etc. - you could do worse than to join DMT in New York. There are 400 of you that have been to a DMT service but have never contributed. Here is your chance. We might be needing a generator. We got one last year but it was stolen. This time it will be kept in a much safer place, screw the bike locks. They run at least $500. It's not all-encompassing but it's a start. We can beg borrow and plead for now but this feat will be necesarry no matter what the police verdict is. Wylie has the same kind of speakers that the DMT bought last year. We might recover the two that were confiscated from me in June. Either way, we're ready to go forward. Permanent membership is only $35, to join go through paypal and send it to "jeff W" jeff at brainmachines That way you will be assured of a vote on who, when, where we practice trance ideation. Plus, you'll enable the events to happen, period. Thanks for listening! Help us shape our own realities outside the mind numbing consensus Matrix!! Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2001 13:47:53 Subject: Save the date - FridaTo: From: Machinelf A more detailed email will be sent later this week that will include DJ lineup and artistry involved. Directions follow to a New York Celebration of Earthdance, beginning on Friday October 12 and extending through Saturday October 13. On midnight on Saturday night a song will be played all over the world in many locations; whether we go through Saturday is 100% up to you. What *is* 100% is that we will commence on Friday night at midnight. a New York Earthdance: PSY-TRANCE PRAYER FOR PEACE in support of our troops, Afghani civilians, and peace loving people everywhere Exactly *who* is sponsoring this is TBD, however, a trance event *will* happen on this spot on this date. It will be either DMT or SafetyDance. Either way you're in good hands. The event will begin around midnight and go through very very late the next day. With enough people it may very well extend into the next evening. Equipment is already secured; we need more black lights and tapestries. Currently soliciting projectionists and artists.

It is on the East side of Washington Heights, along the Harlem River. The party is beneath the Washington Bridge (not the George Washington Bridge, that's a different bridge). The Washington Bridge goes from the Bronx, over the Major Deegan, over the Harlem River, over Harlem River Drive, then turns into West 181st St. in Manhattan. ~~ If you are driving from the Manhattan or Brooklyn, take the West Side Highway in Manhattan, North, until it turns into the Henry Hudson Parkway. As far as I can remember, you want to take Exit 14 for 179St. (You may be able to take the FDR North up the East Side to the Harlem River Drive and then take the exit for the Trans Manhattan Expressway that heads towards the GWB, but I've never taken that route.) >From the Bronx, or take the Cross Bronx Expressway to Exit 1C (The Washington Bridge), or The Major Deegan (87 North) to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge (it's two blocks South of the Washington Bridge, but don't think you can take it heading South on 87). >From Boston, take 90 West (The Mass Pike), to 84 East, to 91 South. Then take Rt. 15 South (The Merritt Parkway) which turns into the Hutchinson River Parkway when it crosses the border into NY State. DO NOT ACCIDENTALLTAKE THE TRIBORO OR WHITESTONE BRIDGES. Take the Cross County West to The Henry Hudson South 9A (which would be the Saw Mill if it went North. If you end up on I87 take the left hand exit for the Saw Mill/9A, and then head South). There will be signs for the GWB. Take the Henry Hudson Bridge ($1.75 toll) into Manhattan, then take the first exit after the GWB.

Wylie's whole floor had been busted open, so there was a whole warren of rooms. And a newly opened penthouse on the top floor with a big black marble bathroom. It was in the same building that I had gotten into all that trouble month ago. The police were very freaked out when they came. There were all these broken parking meters in the hallway, and there was a shrine to evil bert in one big room, with weird messages, coloring book pages, and doctored photos of Osama and Evil bert all over the walls, with eery candlelight everywhere. Another room was for drumming. The DJs all played good sets. I resisted with all my might to move out towards Coney Island but it worked out very well; it was a BEAUTIFUL day and sunset and nightfall. SHAIKID, his friend, Akin, and Kate Mohandia all played good music. We had a good crowd.. At 7pm we all danced around the fire holding hands. We also burned Evil Bert. Hats off to Y from infornography, who sent out crucual emails in the middle of the night and also brought Evil Bert pictures and hung them everywhere; to Lori and Boris for bringing art and UV and gas cans; to Ben for loaning the VRT; Charles at Nexuslabs for helping move, to Wylie for being a hamhead who made it happen with equipment, van, and location; to all the Irish, and everubody else who helped out. ALthough the cold weather is coming I am hoping that DMT will stay active. Because there's never been as twisted and crazy vibe event as Friday. If you would like to see more truly mind-twisting events like this weekend, show your support by joining DMT. You'll be able to vote for DJs and influence the direction.

With 60 marchers all whir ling 16-pound balls of fire above their heads on five-foot metal poles, the parade makes an impressive and faintly terrifying spectacle. The festival is said to date from the 19th century, but probablpreserves much older pa gan traditions. Umbanda, Brazil 31 December 2001 - 1 January 2002 (Every ear) If you're one of those people that find it hard to keep their prying e yes away from anything beyond the realm of human reasoning, then you will n ot have a problem rousing an interest in the elements that lie behind one o f Brazil's most popular religions, CandomblE9. At the Festival of the Godd ess of the Sea, IemanjE1, throngs of CandomblE9 followers enact some rite s of worship that are not entirely orthodox. Once a year believers congrega te on the golden beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Loblon to worship and r evere IemanajE1. As part of the beach rituals cigar-toting, sometimes bise xual, priests and priestesses usher people forward to enter trances (pegar um passo). It is not long before the odd person, mesmerised by the luring b eats of the drums, enters a convulsing fit or even begins to foam at the mo uth. But why do these followers, dressed in the white tunics and blue turba ns of their West African ancestors go to such lengths? The reason is that that IemanajE1 is the God of Carnal Pleasures. It is hence up to her follo wers to sate her appetite once a year with a menu of overt dancing, smoking and trances. The ending highlights take place at dusk. CandomblE9 followe rs admnister offerings to the Goddess. Rafts are covered with all things ep icurian, from champagne to perfume and flowers, and are launched out to sea . There are growing signs of the nearby Reveillon celebrations dwarfing the festival of IemenajE1. The Reveillon celebrations consist of fireworks, a nd open air pop concerts. Flambeaux Procession, Scotland 31 December 2001 - 1 January 2002 (Every year) The Flambeaux at Comrie is an ancient pagan t orchlight procession that was originally performed to drive evil spirits ou t of the village. Although beliefs have now changed, the unique performance is re-enacted each Hogmany. The village is small, and the festivities are also small. So if you are serious about making it, it's probably best to ma ke a friend in Comrie to stay with. The Flambeaux procession dates back man y years when pagan worship was the norm. It has always followed the four po ints of the compass, which takes a tour around the village. A pipe band, an d all the villagers dress up and follow the lit torches - eventually to re- assemble at the main village square. Three torches are lit at midnight and as these burn down others are lit (usually between two and five). These ar e eventually added to a large bonfire, which becomes the focus of dancing a nd celebrating. Fancy dress prize-winners are announced at this time too. T he torches that are not thrown in are thought to contain evil spirits - so they are duly chucked into the River Earn. Comrie is a small village, with a tremendous pride in its heritage; this annual festival is not a great tou rist attraction and, indeed, the villagers are keen to maintain it as such. Talk to the very friendly Tourist Office for more information if a large g roup of you want to join in the fun. New Year Swimmers at Coney Island, Br ooklyn 1 January 2002 (New Year's Day) Brace yourself for the start of the New Year by joining New York's eccentrics as they plunge into the freezing cold sea at the Aquarium on Coney Island. Or better still, just watch and w onder. This annual winter event takes place at the southernmost tip of Broo klyn at the former New York Aquarium. Certainly one of the city's more biza rre New Year events, it can do wonders for the fuzzy head which traditional ly greets New Year's Day. Kavadi Festival, South Africa January - Februar y 2002 tbc (Dates vary; near the January/February full moon) During this im portant Hindu festival devotees of the God Muruga fall into an hypnotic tra nce and perform extreme and eye-catching penances, including piercing their bodies with small spears and hooks, while carrying the kavadi to a temple. Sounds gory? Sure. But do bear in mind that according to most eye-witness reports the devotees experience very little pain or bleeding in the process because most have fasted, chanted and meditated for days and thus entered into a trance-like state. A good thing really, because some are suspended i n the air by hooks through their bodies! Others have long spears skewering their limbs or pull wagons using hooks embedded in their backs. But this fe stival (which comes twice during the year) is about much more than shocking feats of austerity. Indians have a long and illustrious history in South A frica and Hindus make up more than 70% of all Indians in the country. In fa ct, Durban has the biggest concentration of Hindus outside of India. They h onour the deity Lord Muruga because he represents virtue, youth and power a s well as healing and the ability to dispel misfortune. For most adherents, the Kavadi festival is more about a cleansing of the soul and mind and an opportunity to ask for Muruga's forgiveness, love and mercy. The title of t he festival comes from the Tamil word kavadi, which was used to describe an ything that is suspended on a pole and carried over the shoulders. Nowadays it is a stylized and elaborate affair that is decorated with flowers, peac ock feathers and palm leaves and usually has two vessels of milk hanging fr om each side. These items are usually thrown into the Umgeni River as a sac rifice. The festival actually derives from an ancient story about a devotee of Lord Subramanya, who had to travel a long and arduous journey to his id ol's temple but nonetheless carried his heavy pots of milk as a puja offeri ng. His efforts were much appreciated by the god and he was granted a divin e vision. Although this festival is celebrated by Hindus all over South Afr ica, it is particularly celebrated across Durban. One of the best places to catch it is in the suburb of Cato Manor to the west of the city. There is a high concentration of Hindus here and consequently a proliferation of tem ples, the ideal place to catch the action! We, mere mortals, can't guarante e you a divine vision at the festival, but we can promise a spectacular one should you choose to go and witness this amazing procession. When you get tired of gawping, there are always Durban's endless stretches of beautiful beach and tropical weather to enjoy.

From: "Kate" 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. 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 ) 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.

Psy-trance music can heal the spirit and lift our hearts in these troubling times. Readers to the end of this email will be rewarded by more whit than you can handle. Bring out your masques, we're getting gothic with a costumed masquerade homage to old New Yorker Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death. The "masque" takes place in the imperial suite which consisted of seven, very distinct rooms. Within the Prince's abbey, he (Wylie) has created a world of their imagination with masked figures that reflect "his own guiding taste." These dancers are so much a product of the Prince's imagination that Poe refers to them as "a multitude of dreams." The TWIST on this is that as Death enters Trance Music will fortify and immortalize the revelers. This will happen at the stroke of Midnight. Wylie's 100% secure imperial castle penthouse is at 146 Duane street 5th floor between church and west broadway in Tribeca, below Canal. Directions follow. Donation: $5 if in costume or outlandish attire or if you're on the SafetyDance list; $7 without. Fwd this email to all friends who might like Edgar Allen Poe and/or Psy-Trance; if you are on SafetyDance and can bring three donating new people (unrecognizable to us) your donation will be waived and they will be added to SafetyDance. "During the course of a plague, Prince Prospero (Wylie) calls together his friends to come to his castle for fun and frolic until the danger of pestilence has passed. A masquerade is planned, and in typical "Poesque" fashion the great halls are described in imagery that foreshadows a horror to follow. The night of the ball comes, the guests arrive in their costumes and the festivities begin.The gaiety is interrupted by the arrival of a guest, dressed in the garments of the grave besprinkled with the scarlet Red Death Kool-Aid associated with the plague of "red death."

FULL ORIGINAL TEXT The Masque of the Red DeathThe "Red Death" had long devastated the country. Nopestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was itsAvatar and its seal--the redness and the horror of blood. There weresharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at thepores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body andespecially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban whichshut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease,were the incidents of half an hour.But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to hispresence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among theknights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deepseclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensiveand magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's owneccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered,brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. Theyresolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the suddenimpulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amplyprovisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might biddefiance to contagion. The external world could take care ofitself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. Theprince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There werebuffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers,there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All theseand security were within. Without was the "Red Death".It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiouslyabroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friendsat a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence.It was a voluptuous scene, that masquerade. But first let metell of the rooms in which it was held. These were seven--animperial suite. In many palaces, however, such suites form a longand straight vista, while the folding doors slide back nearly tothe walls on either hand, so that the view of the whole extent isscarcely impeded. Here the case was very different, as might havebeen expected from the duke's love of the bizarre. Theapartments were so irregularly disposed that the vision embracedbut little more than one at a time. There was a sharp turn atevery twenty or thirty yards, and at each turn a novel effect. Tothe right and left, in the middle of each wall, a tall and narrowGothic window looked out upon a closed corridor which pursued thewindings of the suite. These windows were of stained glass whosecolour varied in accordance with the prevailing hue of thedecorations of the chamber into which it opened. That at theeastern extremity was hung, for example in blue--and vividly bluewere its windows. The second chamber was purple in its ornamentsand tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third wasgreen throughout, and so were the casements. The fourth wasfurnished and lighted with orange--the fifth with white--the sixthwith violet. The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in blackvelvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down thewalls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same materialand hue. But in this chamber only, the colour of the windowsfailed to correspond with the decorations. The panes here werescarlet--a deep blood colour. Now in no one of the sevenapartments was there any lamp or candelabrum, amid the profusion ofgolden ornaments that lay scattered to and fro or depended from theroof. There was no light of any kind emanating from lamp or candlewithin the suite of chambers. But in the corridors that followedthe suite, there stood, opposite to each window, a heavy tripod,bearing a brazier of fire, that projected its rays through thetinted glass and so glaringly illumined the room. And thus wereproduced a multitude of gaudy and fantastic appearances. But inthe western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes,was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon thecountenances of those who entered, that there were few of thecompany bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.It was in this apartment, also, that there stood against thewestern wall, a gigantic clock of ebony. Its pendulum swung to andfro with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang; and when the minute-handmade the circuit of the face, and the hour was to be stricken,there came from the brazen lungs of the clock a sound which wasclear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical, but of so peculiara note and emphasis that, at each lapse of an hour, the musiciansof the orchestra were constrained to pause, momentarily, in theirperformance, to harken to the sound; and thus the waltzers perforceceased their evolutions; and there was a brief disconcert of thewhole gay company; and, while the chimes of the clock yet rang, itwas observed that the giddiest grew pale, and the more aged andsedate passed their hands over their brows as if in confusedrevery or meditation. But when the echoes had fully ceased, alight laughter at once pervaded the assembly; the musicians lookedat each other and smiled as if at their own nervousness and folly,and made whispering vows, each to the other, that the next chimingof the clock should produce in them no similar emotion; and then,after the lapse of sixty minutes, (which embrace three thousand andsix hundred seconds of the Time that flies,) there came yet anotherchiming of the clock, and then were the same disconcert andtremulousness and meditation as before.But, in spite of these things, it was a gay and magnificentrevel. The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eyefor colours and effects. He disregarded the decora of merefashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowedwith barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought himmad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hearand see and touch him to be sure that he was not.He had directed, in great part, the movable embellishments ofthe seven chambers, upon occasion of this great fete; and itwas his own guiding taste which had given character to themasqueraders. Be sure they were grotesque. There were much glareand glitter and piquancy and phantasm--much of what has been sinceseen in "Hernani". There were arabesque figures withunsuited limbs and appointments. There were delirious fancies suchas the madman fashions. There were much of the beautiful, much ofthe wanton, much of the bizarre, somthing of the terrible, andnot a little of that which might have excited disgust. To and froin the seven chambers there stalked, in fact, a multitude ofdreams. And these--the dreams--writhed in and about taking huefrom the rooms, and causing the wild music of the orchestra to seemas the echo of their steps. And, anon, there strikes the ebonyclock which stands in the hall of the velvet. And then, for amoment, all is still, and all is silent save the voice of theclock. The dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand. But the echoesof the chime die away--they have endured but an instant--and alight, half-subdued laughter floats after them as they depart. Andnow again the music swells, and the dreams live, and writhe to andfro more merrily than ever, taking hue from the many tinted windowsthrough which stream the rays from the tripods. But to the chamberwhich lies most westwardly of the seven, there are now none of themaskers who venture; for the night is waning away; and there flowsa ruddier light through the blood-coloured panes; and the blacknessof the sable drapery appals; and to him whose foot falls upon thesable carpet, there comes from the near clock of ebony a muffledpeal more solemnly emphatic than any which reaches their earswho indulged in the more remote gaieties of the other apartments.But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in thembeat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlinglyon, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight uponthe clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and theevolutions of the waltzers were quieted; and there was an uneasycessation of all things as before. But now there were twelvestrokes to be sounded by the bell of the clock; and thus ithappened, perhaps, that more of thought crept, with more of time,into the meditations of the thoughtful among those who revelled. And thus too, it happened, perhaps, that before the last echoes ofthe last chime had utterly sunk into silence, there were manyindividuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware ofthe presence of a masked figure which had arrested the attention of no single individual before. And the rumour of thisnew presence having spread itself whisperingly around, there aroseat length from the whole company a buzz, or murmur, expressive ofdisapprobation and surprise--then, finally, of terror, of horror,and of disgust.In an assembly of phantasms such as I have painted, it maywell be supposed that no ordinary appearance could have excitedsuch sensation. In truth the masquerade licence of the night wasnearly unlimited; but the figure in question had out-Heroded Herod,and gone beyond the bounds of even the prince's indefinite decorum. There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot betouched without emotion. Even with the utterly lost, to whom lifeand death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest canbe made. The whole company, indeed, seemed now deeply to feel thatin the costume and bearing of the stranger neither wit norpropriety existed. The figure was tall and gaunt, and shroudedfrom head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask whichconcealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenanceof a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have haddifficulty in detecting the cheat. And yet all this might havebeen endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. Butthe mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood--and his broad brow, with allthe features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror.When the eyes of the Prince Prospero fell upon this spectralimage (which, with a slow and solemn movement, as if more fully tosustain its role, stalked to and fro among the waltzers) he wasseen to be convulsed, in the first moment with a strong shuddereither of terror or distaste; but, in the next, his brow reddenedwith rage."Who dares,"--he demanded hoarsely of the courtiers who stoodnear him--"who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery? Seize him and unmask him--that we may know whom we have to hang, atsunrise, from the battlements!"It was in the eastern or blue chamber in which stood thePrince Prospero as he uttered these words. They rang throughoutthe seven rooms loudly and clearly, for the prince was a bold androbust man, and the music had become hushed at the waving of hishand.It was in the blue room where stood the prince, with a groupof pale courtiers by his side. At first, as he spoke,there was a slight rushing movement of this group in the directionof the intruder, who at the moment was also near at hand, and now,with deliberate and stately step, made closer approach to thespeaker. But from a certain nameless awe with which the madassumptions of the mummer had inspired the whole party, there werefound none who put forth hand to seize him; so that, unimpeded, hepassed within a yard of the prince's person; and, while the vastassembly, as if with one impulse, shrank from the centres of therooms to the walls, he made his way uninterruptedly, but with thesame solemn and measured step which had distinguished him from thefirst, through the blue chamber to the purple--through the purpleto the green--through the green to the orange--through this againto the white--and even thence to the violet, ere a decided movementhad been made to arrest him. It was then, however, that the PrinceProspero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentarycowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while nonefollowed him on account of a deadly terror that had seized uponall. He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapidimpetuosity, to within three or four feet of the retreating figure,when the latter, having attained the extremity of the velvetapartment, turned suddenly and confronted his pursuer. There wasa sharp cry--and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet,upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero. Then, summoning the wild courage of despair, athrong of the revellers at once threw themselves into the blackapartment, and, seizing the mummer, whose tall figure stood erectand motionless within the shadow of the ebony clock, gasped inunutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpse-likemask, which they handled with so violent a rudeness, untenanted byany tangible form.And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped therevellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died eachin the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebonyclock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames ofthe tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death heldillimitable dominion over all. Story told from the view of Red Death: Kool-Aid Man sat in his Fortress of Koolitude, lazily watching the hundreds of monitors before him. At any moment, there could be a call of distress, and that is when he would venture out and save the day. The Fortress of Koolitude was a grand place. Once a regular iceberg, before Kool-Aid Man infused the ice with every known colour and flavour, some no longer existing, others yet to exist, and the rest available at any grocer for only pennies a glass. Yes, life was good. It was no wonder that Kool-Aid Man smiled so often, it warmed his heart to see all the people of the world enjoy his life giving liquid.Suddenly, a cry was heard. "Hey, Kool-Aid!"Kool-Aid Man sprung from his chair, taking a stoic pose before the many screens before him. "Hmmmm," He thought to himself, "Little Wylie Hyde in New York needs Kool-Aid, and quick!" He bolted for the Scrambler ..."You bet!" A voice called over the speakers. Kool-Aid Man stopped in his tracks. He turned quickly to look at the screen of Little Wylie. Little Wylie seemed confused, when the wall to his room shook, as if somthing smashed into it. "Oooooooooof" was noticeably heard. "*(*&(%$%$# wall." After a bit of stomping, the door to Little Wylie's room opened to reveal ... *gasp* No! It couldn't be!He stood there with a sneer on his plastic pitcher face. One hand twirled a long thin mustache while the other held a plastic vile of a ghastly concoction. He sneered again and filled Little Wylie's glass. "Drink up, little boy, I promise that you'll like this." He chuckled evilly as Little Wylie raised the glass to his lips.Kool-Aid Man shook in anger and fear, knowing full well that he could do nothing but watch. "Don't do it, Wylie." Kool-Aid Man pleaded. But Little Wylie could not hear his idol, and drank the vile liquid down. Little Wylie twitched violently, one eye began to vibrate while the other dilated to but a small dot. Little Wylie twitched again, then swung around in a fit, spouting out gibberish and speaking in tongues. Suddenly, Little Wylie stopped his spasms, and stood slack jawed before the beige pitcher that had entered the room. "Good boy." The pitcher smiled devilishly. "You are now my minion, and you shall spread my liquids to all your friends. Isn't that right, little boy?""Yes, master." The zombified Wylie murmured, his eyes blank and his mouth slack-jawed. The evil pitcher laughed maniacally, throwing his whole body back in a chuckle of pure evil abandon."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kool-Aid Man screamed, hands gripping the sides of his spout. "Curse you ... I will avenge you, Little Wylie. Flavour-Aid Fella, you shall rue the day that you crossed my path, and prevented me my god and goddess-given right to spread joy and happiness to all who ask. Vengence will be mine ... as of now, Flavour-Aid Fella, I'm pissed!"And with that, Kool-Aid Man stormed out of the monitoring room to prepare ... (To be continued this Friday) COMMENTARSetting The story covers a period of approximately six months during the reign of the Red Death. The action takes place in " [the] deep seclusion of one of [Prince Prospero's] castellated abbeys." The "masque" takes place in the imperial suite which consisted of seven, very distinct rooms. (See Style for a more indepth discussion of the significance of the setting to this particular story.) Characters This story has no characters in the usual sense which lends credibility to an allegorical interpretation. Only Prince Prospero speaks. His name suggests happiness and good fortune; however, ironically this is not the case. Within the Prince's abbey, he has created a world of his imagination with masked figures that reflect "his own guiding taste." These dancers are so much a product of the Prince's imagination that Poe refers to them as "a multitude of dreams." Even when the "Red Death" enters, the author refers to this character as a "figure" or a "mummer" who "was tall and guant, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask...was made...to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse....But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood-and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror." When the mummer is seized toward the end of the story, all "gasped in unutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpselike mask...untenanted by any tangible form." Point of View Poe expressed his dislike for allegory - "a tale in prose or verse in which characters, actions or settings represent abstract ideas or moral qualities." Poe argued that allegory was an inferior literary form because it is designed to evoke interest in both the narrative and the abstract ideas for which the narrative stands, which distracts the reader from the singleness of effect that Poe most valued in literature. "Under the best circumstances, it must always interfere with that unity of effect which, to the artist, is worth all the allegory in the world." Yet Poe himself openly used allegory, as in "The Haunted Palace" verses which he inserted into his story, "The Fall of the House of Usher," as well as in "The Masque of the Red Death." (See Style for allegorical interpretation.) Style and Interpretation Poe's story takes place in seven connected but carefully separated rooms. This reminds the reader of the past significance of the number seven. (The history of the world was thought to consist of seven ages, just as an individual's life had seven stages. The ancient world had seven wonders; universities divided learning into seven subjects; there were seven deadly sins with seven corresponding cardinal virtues, and the number seven is important in mysticism.) Therefore, an allegorical reading of this story suggests that the seven rooms represent the seven stages of one's life, from birth to death, through which the prince pursues a figure masked as a victim of the Red Death, only to die himself in the final chamber of eternal night. The prince's name suggests happiness and good fortune, and the prince, just like all beings uses happiness to wall out the threat of death. Prince Prospero's masked ball or dance reminds us of the "dance of death" portrayed in old paintings as a skeleton leading a throng of people to the grave, just as the prince leads his guests to the Red Death. The significance of time in this story is seen in the symbol of the "gigantic clock of ebony" which is draped in black velvet and located in the final room. Although the clock is an object, it quickly takes on human aspects as the author describes it as having a face and lungs from which comes a sound that is "exceedingly musical" but "so peculiar" that the "dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand," in a momentary rigor mortis that anticipates the final one. The relationship between the Red Death and time is a key to understanding the symbolic meaning of the story. The seven rooms are laid out from east to west, reminding us of the course of the sun which measures our earthly time. These rooms are lighted from without, and it is only in the seventh room where the color of the windows does not correspond with the color of the room, but instead is "a deep blood color" through which light illuminates the westernmost chamber of black, with an ebony clock on its western wall. In creating this room, Poe links the colors red and black with death and time. "[S]carlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim" indicate the presence of the Red Death. Blood, the very substance of life, becomes the mark of death as it bursts through the pores. Death, then, is not an outside antagonist, to be feared and walled out as Prince Prospero attempts to do; but instead it is a part of each of us. Its presence is felt in our imaginations as we become aware of the control that time has over our lives. We hear the echoes of the "ebony clocks" that we carry within. Prince Prospero tries to escape death by walling it out, and by so doing, creates a prison out of his sanctuary. However, the Prince learns that no one can escape death. Death holds "illimitable dominion over all." Theme No one escapes death. Human happiness (as represented by Prince Prospero) seeks to wall out the threat of death; however, the Biblical reference (I Thessalonians 5:2-3) at the end of the story reminds us that death comes "like a thief in the night," and even those who seek "peace and safety...shall not escape."

The night of the ball comes, the guests arrive in their costumes and the festivities begin.The gaiety is interrupted by the arrival of a guest, dressed in the garments of the grave besprinkled with the scarlet Red Death Kool-Aid associated with the plague of "red death."

Theapartments were so irregularly disposed that the vision embracedbut little more than one at a time. There was a sharp turn atevery twenty or thirty yards, and at each turn a novel effect. Tothe right and left, in the middle of each wall, a tall and narrowGothic window looked out upon a closed corridor which pursued thewindings of the suite. These windows were of stained glass whosecolour varied in accordance with the prevailing hue of thedecorations of the chamber into which it opened. That at theeastern extremity was hung, for example in blue--and vividly bluewere its windows. The second chamber was purple in its ornamentsand tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third wasgreen throughout, and so were the casements. The fourth wasfurnished and lighted with orange--the fifth with white--the sixthwith violet. The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in blackvelvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down thewalls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same materialand hue. But in this chamber only, the colour of the windowsfailed to correspond with the decorations. The panes here werescarlet--a deep blood colour. Now in no one of the sevenapartments was there any lamp or candelabrum, amid the profusion ofgolden ornaments that lay scattered to and fro or depended from theroof. There was no light of any kind emanating from lamp or candlewithin the suite of chambers. But in the corridors that followedthe suite, there stood, opposite to each window, a heavy tripod,bearing a brazier of fire, that projected its rays through thetinted glass and so glaringly illumined the room. And thus wereproduced a multitude of gaudy and fantastic appearances. But inthe western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes,was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon thecountenances of those who entered, that there were few of thecompany bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.It was in this apartment, also, that there stood against thewestern wall, a gigantic clock of ebony. Its pendulum swung to andfro with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang; and when the minute-handmade the circuit of the face, and the hour was to be stricken,there came from the brazen lungs of the clock a sound which wasclear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical, but of so peculiara note and emphasis that, at each lapse of an hour, the musiciansof the orchestra were constrained to pause, momentarily, in theirperformance, to harken to the sound; and thus the waltzers perforceceased their evolutions; and there was a brief disconcert of thewhole gay company; and, while the chimes of the clock yet rang, itwas observed that the giddiest grew pale, and the more aged andsedate passed their hands over their brows as if in confusedrevery or meditation. But when the echoes had fully ceased, alight laughter at once pervaded the assembly; the musicians lookedat each other and smiled as if at their own nervousness and folly,and made whispering vows, each to the other, that the next chimingof the clock should produce in them no similar emotion; and then,after the lapse of sixty minutes, (which embrace three thousand andsix hundred seconds of the Time that flies,) there came yet anotherchiming of the clock, and then were the same disconcert andtremulousness and meditation as before.But, in spite of these things, it was a gay and magnificentrevel. The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eyefor colours and effects. He disregarded the decora of merefashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowedwith barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought himmad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hearand see and touch him to be sure that he was not.He had directed, in great part, the movable embellishments ofthe seven chambers, upon occasion of this great fete; and itwas his own guiding taste which had given character to themasqueraders. Be sure they were grotesque. There were much glareand glitter and piquancy and phantasm--much of what has been sinceseen in "Hernani". There were arabesque figures withunsuited limbs and appointments. There were delirious fancies suchas the madman fashions. There were much of the beautiful, much ofthe wanton, much of the bizarre, somthing of the terrible, andnot a little of that which might have excited disgust. To and froin the seven chambers there stalked, in fact, a multitude ofdreams. And these--the dreams--writhed in and about taking huefrom the rooms, and causing the wild music of the orchestra to seemas the echo of their steps. And, anon, there strikes the ebonyclock which stands in the hall of the velvet. And then, for amoment, all is still, and all is silent save the voice of theclock. The dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand. But the echoesof the chime die away--they have endured but an instant--and alight, half-subdued laughter floats after them as they depart. Andnow again the music swells, and the dreams live, and writhe to andfro more merrily than ever, taking hue from the many tinted windowsthrough which stream the rays from the tripods. But to the chamberwhich lies most westwardly of the seven, there are now none of themaskers who venture; for the night is waning away; and there flowsa ruddier light through the blood-coloured panes; and the blacknessof the sable drapery appals; and to him whose foot falls upon thesable carpet, there comes from the near clock of ebony a muffledpeal more solemnly emphatic than any which reaches their earswho indulged in the more remote gaieties of the other apartments.But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in thembeat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlinglyon, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight uponthe clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and theevolutions of the waltzers were quieted; and there was an uneasycessation of all things as before. But now there were twelvestrokes to be sounded by the bell of the clock; and thus ithappened, perhaps, that more of thought crept, with more of time,into the meditations of the thoughtful among those who revelled. And thus too, it happened, perhaps, that before the last echoes ofthe last chime had utterly sunk into silence, there were manyindividuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware ofthe presence of a masked figure which had arrested the attention of no single individual before. And the rumour of thisnew presence having spread itself whisperingly around, there aroseat length from the whole company a buzz, or murmur, expressive ofdisapprobation and surprise--then, finally, of terror, of horror,and of disgust.In an assembly of phantasms such as I have painted, it maywell be supposed that no ordinary appearance could have excitedsuch sensation. In truth the masquerade licence of the night wasnearly unlimited; but the figure in question had out-Heroded Herod,and gone beyond the bounds of even the prince's indefinite decorum. There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot betouched without emotion. Even with the utterly lost, to whom lifeand death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest canbe made. The whole company, indeed, seemed now deeply to feel thatin the costume and bearing of the stranger neither wit norpropriety existed. The figure was tall and gaunt, and shroudedfrom head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask whichconcealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenanceof a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have haddifficulty in detecting the cheat. And yet all this might havebeen endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. Butthe mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood--and his broad brow, with allthe features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror.When the eyes of the Prince Prospero fell upon this spectralimage (which, with a slow and solemn movement, as if more fully tosustain its role, stalked to and fro among the waltzers) he wasseen to be convulsed, in the first moment with a strong shuddereither of terror or distaste; but, in the next, his brow reddenedwith rage."Who dares,"--he demanded hoarsely of the courtiers who stoodnear him--"who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery? Seize him and unmask him--that we may know whom we have to hang, atsunrise, from the battlements!"It was in the eastern or blue chamber in which stood thePrince Prospero as he uttered these words. They rang throughoutthe seven rooms loudly and clearly, for the prince was a bold androbust man, and the music had become hushed at the waving of hishand.It was in the blue room where stood the prince, with a groupof pale courtiers by his side. At first, as he spoke,there was a slight rushing movement of this group in the directionof the intruder, who at the moment was also near at hand, and now,with deliberate and stately step, made closer approach to thespeaker. But from a certain nameless awe with which the madassumptions of the mummer had inspired the whole party, there werefound none who put forth hand to seize him; so that, unimpeded, hepassed within a yard of the prince's person; and, while the vastassembly, as if with one impulse, shrank from the centres of therooms to the walls, he made his way uninterruptedly, but with thesame solemn and measured step which had distinguished him from thefirst, through the blue chamber to the purple--through the purpleto the green--through the green to the orange--through this againto the white--and even thence to the violet, ere a decided movementhad been made to arrest him. It was then, however, that the PrinceProspero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentarycowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while nonefollowed him on account of a deadly terror that had seized uponall. He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapidimpetuosity, to within three or four feet of the retreating figure,when the latter, having attained the extremity of the velvetapartment, turned suddenly and confronted his pursuer. There wasa sharp cry--and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet,upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero. Then, summoning the wild courage of despair, athrong of the revellers at once threw themselves into the blackapartment, and, seizing the mummer, whose tall figure stood erectand motionless within the shadow of the ebony clock, gasped inunutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpse-likemask, which they handled with so violent a rudeness, untenanted byany tangible form.And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped therevellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died eachin the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebonyclock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames ofthe tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death heldillimitable dominion over all. Story told from the view of Red Death: Kool-Aid Man sat in his Fortress of Koolitude, lazily watching the hundreds of monitors before him. At any moment, there could be a call of distress, and that is when he would venture out and save the day. The Fortress of Koolitude was a grand place. Once a regular iceberg, before Kool-Aid Man infused the ice with every known colour and flavour, some no longer existing, others yet to exist, and the rest available at any grocer for only pennies a glass. Yes, life was good. It was no wonder that Kool-Aid Man smiled so often, it warmed his heart to see all the people of the world enjoy his life giving liquid.Suddenly, a cry was heard. "Hey, Kool-Aid!"Kool-Aid Man sprung from his chair, taking a stoic pose before the many screens before him. "Hmmmm," He thought to himself, "Little Wylie Hyde in New York needs Kool-Aid, and quick!" He bolted for the Scrambler ..."You bet!" A voice called over the speakers. Kool-Aid Man stopped in his tracks. He turned quickly to look at the screen of Little Wylie. Little Wylie seemed confused, when the wall to his room shook, as if somthing smashed into it. "Oooooooooof" was noticeably heard. "*(*&(%$%$# wall." After a bit of stomping, the door to Little Wylie's room opened to reveal ... *gasp* No! It couldn't be!He stood there with a sneer on his plastic pitcher face. One hand twirled a long thin mustache while the other held a plastic vile of a ghastly concoction. He sneered again and filled Little Wylie's glass. "Drink up, little boy, I promise that you'll like this." He chuckled evilly as Little Wylie raised the glass to his lips.Kool-Aid Man shook in anger and fear, knowing full well that he could do nothing but watch. "Don't do it, Wylie." Kool-Aid Man pleaded. But Little Wylie could not hear his idol, and drank the vile liquid down. Little Wylie twitched violently, one eye began to vibrate while the other dilated to but a small dot. Little Wylie twitched again, then swung around in a fit, spouting out gibberish and speaking in tongues. Suddenly, Little Wylie stopped his spasms, and stood slack jawed before the beige pitcher that had entered the room. "Good boy." The pitcher smiled devilishly. "You are now my minion, and you shall spread my liquids to all your friends. Isn't that right, little boy?""Yes, master." The zombified Wylie murmured, his eyes blank and his mouth slack-jawed. The evil pitcher laughed maniacally, throwing his whole body back in a chuckle of pure evil abandon."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kool-Aid Man screamed, hands gripping the sides of his spout. "Curse you ... I will avenge you, Little Wylie. Flavour-Aid Fella, you shall rue the day that you crossed my path, and prevented me my god and goddess-given right to spread joy and happiness to all who ask. Vengence will be mine ... as of now, Flavour-Aid Fella, I'm pissed!"And with that, Kool-Aid Man stormed out of the monitoring room to prepare ... (To be continued this Friday) COMMENTARSetting The story covers a period of approximately six months during the reign of the Red Death. The action takes place in " [the] deep seclusion of one of [Prince Prospero's] castellated abbeys." The "masque" takes place in the imperial suite which consisted of seven, very distinct rooms. (See Style for a more indepth discussion of the significance of the setting to this particular story.) Characters This story has no characters in the usual sense which lends credibility to an allegorical interpretation. Only Prince Prospero speaks. His name suggests happiness and good fortune; however, ironically this is not the case. Within the Prince's abbey, he has created a world of his imagination with masked figures that reflect "his own guiding taste." These dancers are so much a product of the Prince's imagination that Poe refers to them as "a multitude of dreams." Even when the "Red Death" enters, the author refers to this character as a "figure" or a "mummer" who "was tall and guant, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask...was made...to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse....But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood-and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror." When the mummer is seized toward the end of the story, all "gasped in unutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpselike mask...untenanted by any tangible form." Point of View Poe expressed his dislike for allegory - "a tale in prose or verse in which characters, actions or settings represent abstract ideas or moral qualities." Poe argued that allegory was an inferior literary form because it is designed to evoke interest in both the narrative and the abstract ideas for which the narrative stands, which distracts the reader from the singleness of effect that Poe most valued in literature. "Under the best circumstances, it must always interfere with that unity of effect which, to the artist, is worth all the allegory in the world." Yet Poe himself openly used allegory, as in "The Haunted Palace" verses which he inserted into his story, "The Fall of the House of Usher," as well as in "The Masque of the Red Death." (See Style for allegorical interpretation.) Style and Interpretation Poe's story takes place in seven connected but carefully separated rooms. This reminds the reader of the past significance of the number seven. (The history of the world was thought to consist of seven ages, just as an individual's life had seven stages. The ancient world had seven wonders; universities divided learning into seven subjects; there were seven deadly sins with seven corresponding cardinal virtues, and the number seven is important in mysticism.) Therefore, an allegorical reading of this story suggests that the seven rooms represent the seven stages of one's life, from birth to death, through which the prince pursues a figure masked as a victim of the Red Death, only to die himself in the final chamber of eternal night. The prince's name suggests happiness and good fortune, and the prince, just like all beings uses happiness to wall out the threat of death. Prince Prospero's masked ball or dance reminds us of the "dance of death" portrayed in old paintings as a skeleton leading a throng of people to the grave, just as the prince leads his guests to the Red Death. The significance of time in this story is seen in the symbol of the "gigantic clock of ebony" which is draped in black velvet and located in the final room. Although the clock is an object, it quickly takes on human aspects as the author describes it as having a face and lungs from which comes a sound that is "exceedingly musical" but "so peculiar" that the "dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand," in a momentary rigor mortis that anticipates the final one. The relationship between the Red Death and time is a key to understanding the symbolic meaning of the story. The seven rooms are laid out from east to west, reminding us of the course of the sun which measures our earthly time. These rooms are lighted from without, and it is only in the seventh room where the color of the windows does not correspond with the color of the room, but instead is "a deep blood color" through which light illuminates the westernmost chamber of black, with an ebony clock on its western wall. In creating this room, Poe links the colors red and black with death and time. "[S]carlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim" indicate the presence of the Red Death. Blood, the very substance of life, becomes the mark of death as it bursts through the pores. Death, then, is not an outside antagonist, to be feared and walled out as Prince Prospero attempts to do; but instead it is a part of each of us. Its presence is felt in our imaginations as we become aware of the control that time has over our lives. We hear the echoes of the "ebony clocks" that we carry within. Prince Prospero tries to escape death by walling it out, and by so doing, creates a prison out of his sanctuary. However, the Prince learns that no one can escape death. Death holds "illimitable dominion over all." Theme No one escapes death. Human happiness (as represented by Prince Prospero) seeks to wall out the threat of death; however, the Biblical reference (I Thessalonians 5:2-3) at the end of the story reminds us that death comes "like a thief in the night," and even those who seek "peace and safety...shall not escape." Trance Twist Defeat is not in our vocabulary. Psy-trance music can heal the spirit and lift our hearts in these troubling times. THIS HAS BEEN A WYLIE TRANCE MISSION Thanks, Wylie!!!

You can accomplish nearly anything given the right frequencies. Low frequencies (delta) around 3.5 hz are great for deep meditation/trauma release/sleep deprivation. There are also frequencies which are said to increase serotonin production, chi, endorphins. 160 hz is thought to be involved with 5-HTP. There's all sorts of varied associations, from emotions to chemicals to actions. Even kundalini. I have a full listing of frequencies if anyone is interested. A friend of mine was on the BWGEN yahoogroup and cultivated an immense amount of information not just on BWGEN, but on the underlying science. He befriended the mystical wizard of frequencies and ate his brain too.

What you are talking about are TONES at 8hz and 2Hz. What is being discussed are beatings of 3.5 Hz and 160 Hz. And for the record 1 60 Hz is well within the range of human hearing. Basically, the concept behind what is being discussed can ONLY be achieved in a stereo system, it sets the left out of phase with the right by so many cycles to create a f requency of beating of say, 3.5 Hz.

When you move around the space, the 3-dimensional constructive/destructive interference between the waves creates the sense of diving in a shifting ocean of sound. for the music freeks, the 80 waves are (from memory) spread across an 8 or 10 octave range, but have some very interesting microtonal overlays in the mid-spectrum, i think about 20 or 25 tones in the central octave. the music side was put together by lamonte young, the leading light of east coast minimalism, and a long-term student of pandit pran nath, one of the masters of indian classical singing; so it is influenced by both european and indian musical tones. the space (designed by marian zazeela, young's wife) is pretty cool too -- it is darklightly lit, minimally decorated and sparse, with cushions on the floor. anyway, babble over, just go check it out if you are interested. thursdays and saturdays, 2pm to midnight. http://melafoundation.org/main.htm alex -----Original Message----- From: oCeLot [aaron at chaishop ] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:18 PM To: SafetyDance Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] Re: Wireless Trance Parties frequency is important- amplitude is what brings down the building. a 2Hz wave is a long big slow wave- it would need some amplitude to do andamage whatsoever- the so-called range of human hearing is a load of poop- we can feel well below that. we can hear frequencies above it by the way they interact with the audible range- waveform addition- subharmonics etc... start layering fundamental tones and you notice the way they beat with each other...

(ALSO - know that Wylie's is done for parties, again) Very simple relation btw. frequency(f), speed of sound (c) and wavelength (L) L c / f (basically the smaller the freqency, the bigger the wave) Sound is just a travelling vibration, speed of sound in the air is 340 m/s And EVERY single part of your body participates in catching of those vibrations, but the best response is when the linear size of that part of the body is equal or close to the WAVELENGTH L So let's see, 160 Hz > L 340/160 2.1 m which means 160 Hz wave has a length of 2 meters in the air, so our own bodies are pretty good antennas to catch this kind of wave. Ears are much smaller, so you can turn your earphones up to whatever loudness, and still won't get much of a 160 Hz. Here is the FREQUENCY that matters, not the ENERGBut when the sound is not only in your ears, when it's enveloping you, when you are next to the GOOD speaker.... listening to NOMA :)) ohhhh, that's why I 'll never forget that SPECTRA party with HuxFlux and Noma back in MAY :))) That's what I call full-body experience... Gosha PS. sorry for this long narrative, if you're allready familiar with contents :) >Re: [SafetyDance] Re: Wireless Trance Parties Date :Tue, 13 Nov 2001 21:26:07 As far as I understand, it's not a big deal to make 2Hz wave -- 2 Hz just means TWO (2) vibrations (of any kind) per second For example, pendulum which makes a swing every half-second is allready a "2 Hz - machine" :) To destroy a building you need HUGE energy, it's ENERGY not frequency that counts. It doesn't matter how you provide this destructive energy - w/ resonant frequency, with huge bomb or karate team :) - you still have to apply that immense energy to destroy the damn thing.

She is also going to exhibit art by our known and unknown artists. If you have anything that you would like displayed 2D/3D or in any shape or form. Let either Lori (LOLLYGOA ) or I know.

Organization: Lycos Mail (http://mail.lycos :80) From: "Ethan K Abramson" Sorry, I know that was supposed to be the last word...Gosha, I was blown away at the Spectra PARTY also, and am a huge Noma fan. Actually, I've used his kicks as a basis to study good trance kicks, and I've found using spectral analysis that their main frequency is 43hz, along with a majority of other producers' kicks and bass tones. That seems to be a magikal chest-shaking freq that can affect your digestive system at a PARTY. However, sound waves are longitudinal, not transversal, meaning that they vibrate perpendicular to the foward direction of the wave. In other words, the 'linear' size of a part of the body doesn't matter, since the molecules are moving 'in and out', not 'up and down'. Otherwise, subwoofers would have to be twenty feet tall, and headphones would sound like dog whistles. As far as this damn 160hz that keeps coming up, here's a little experiment folks can try: 1. Use Soundforge, CoolEdit, or some shareware to make a 160hz sine wave. 2. Put on headphones, and set the volume to a bit higher than comfortable. 3. Enjoy the temporary hearing loss. Again, sorry to keep flogging this dead horse thread. -Ethan On Wed, 14 Nov 2001 18:50:36 jeffreywhi wrote: >Gosha, a PhD Pysics candidate at Stoneybrook, has this to say, and i think >you'll agree it's the last word.

If the weather is clear, the shower should be visible from all North American locations. To best view the shower, head to a dark location far from city lights. The meteors should be visible across the sky, appearing to radiate from the east, in the direction of the constellation Leo that gives the shower its name. Only a lawn chair, warm clothes, and the naked eye are required. Binoculars or telescopes are not necessary.

If the weather is clear, the shower should be visible from all North American locations. To best view the shower, head to a dark location far from city lights. The meteors should be visible across the sky, appearing to radiate from the eas t, in the direction of the constellation Leo that gives the shower its nam e.

The space is SICK: there is: 1 7500 sq ft room with a stage and cyclorama (seamless celing/walls) and 18 ft ceiling 1 10,000 sq ft room wth 28 ft ceiling, the "main room", between those 2 rooms is 2400 amps of power to be distributed there are about 7 or 8 other smaller rooms, with more power suitable for more djs, around 100 people could fit in each one, inside of which are are enchanted trees, one room has thunder and lightning visual effects and sounds! Each room has a gridded ceiling to allow for lights, decorations. Total there is enough rooom to pack in 5000 people, the owners have a definite way to secure a liquor license, and are willing to set up bars throughout. The space is in Greenpoint. The space will either be available first in December, or if Comedy Central decides to run a tv show next month then not until Febuary. They want a mature crowd, people who arent going to be vandalizing or getting drunk and ridiculous, especially since this is a business, not just some warehouse space. They had first said they wanted someone like Frankie Bones, "big names" but after I told them that the type of djs who get booked at the Limelight would also draw in a Long Island drunk crowd, they were more than willing to rethink the music/names they are familiar with. One of the owners used to run a nightclub a long time ago, and is used to greedy yes-sir type of promoters, so she is verhappy to find some honest people to work with. The space is also suitable for two simultaneous and different parties because the two major buildings are for the most part, split up. That might be the best way to truly pack the place to make it worthwhile for them, as well as not have to throw a gross mass rave. Cost hasnt been discussed yet, but I told them what the Lunatarium charges so at least they have that idea. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested in talking to me more about it. I'm on the Brainmachines list,and maybe more??? if you want to post this info. I get a little confused about the lists, despite your recent attempts at clarifying, since I receive some of the same emails and there are forwards as well. Though I'm not a trance head, nor a promoter for that matter, I do appreciate the trance crowd and energy, and I definitely appreciate the info from the lists on science/metaphysical/technology, as well as the alternative party info (ie dub, downtempo, D&B). My connection to all of this is a love of all music and dancing, my hopes to help out someone who knows how to throw a good party, and to help out the owners of this space in a tough time concerning the current conditions of the economy. I'm an assistant sound engineer at a small music production company and know how much the industry is hurting right now, yeah boohoo whatever, but considering I am living on $20 a week after rent is paid, anything I can do to help others in turn helps me and my soul as well. Hope your day is making you smile! Peace Karen Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 21:37:10 To: SafetyDance Subject: Note on December 7 From: Machinelf There are two parties on Friday December 7. I recommend you go to Liemlight. Here's why. 1 - Wizzy Noise - 1st time in America 2 - Sound - Wizzy Noise will be on the main floor 3 - Interactive visuals and art will be there 4 - New orgaziner who is a very well connected woman who is a good person who is doing psy-trance for the first time and needs our support. If we show up to experience Wizzy Noise there will be more and we won't ever be relegated to the back rooms!!

It's like a Christmas carolling party except that we don't sing, but rather carrboom boxes, each playing a separate tape which is part of the piece. In effect, we become a city block long stereo system. This year it will happen on Saturday December 15th. We will meet at the Arch in Washington Square at 6:45 pm, begin at 7 pm and proceed eastward to Tompkins Square Park, where the piece will end around 8 o'clock. It would be really cool if you could join us and bring a boom box. The more tapes we run, the bigger and more amazing the sound will be. The past few years we've had around 50 boomboxes and over 200 people total, not to mention a really great time... If you'd like to do it, please email me at boombox at mindspring so I will know how many tapes to make. If you'd like to do it but don't have a boombox, I have several dozen and you can reserve one...and if you want to come and just listen, that's cool, too. Help us make a BIG (and joyful) noise.

A lone Native American walked through his old ancestral burial grounds and a tear welled up in his eye. A metaphor, if you will. WE are ALL to blame. The space was thrashed before Wylie's Smokeout/BurningGoa/meteor shower. There is no official trash pickup there. Trash has been collected before but the bags over the months split open. The next people to do anything there will have to accept the burden. An official cleanup with a dedicated truck or van. Or we will be partying, insert whatever euphemism you want, in our own filth. Back in theDMT days when mark and i were getting along we had a credo - Leave No Trace and be respectful to our neighbors and the Earth. The Law of Threes dictates that everything you do will come back to you threefold. Ugly Consumers - Trance trash - or Environmentally Responsible People of Peace? Until we address this, our legacy there will be trashed out partiers on the edge of the soccer fields, as the fishermen wade through the detritus of our decadence. The choice is ours.

Well, it's because for as long as we have known you, we were capital, like bales of cotton and sacks of sugar, and you were the commanding, cruel capitalist, and the memory of this is so strong, the experience so recent, that we can't quite bring ourselves to embrace this idea that you think so much of. As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no documentation of complex civilizations, is any comfort to me.

It has been such an amazing weekend. SS was great even though I was distracted at times due to promotional work and stuff like that and having spent half an hour or so having to dance outside !!! But alls well that ends well. Now the most important thing. THANK YOU to everyone who made it to the afterparty. It was so good. The atmosphere, the feeling of people coming together to help out was great. It was such a great opportunity to put names to faces and get to know so many. Games of pool were played, breakfast was shared, people relaxed and replenshed their energy supplies and the dancing continued till 8pm. People were coming all day long giving the weary the boost they needed. Thanks to Kristine and Rebecca for all the work they did in the chillout/chai area. Nice wall hangings, candlelit tables, gorgeous chai/coffee/tea and chess boards!!!! To all the guys who spun downstairs thank you! (Stefan, Gosha, Kamal, John you guys rock) Thanks to all the artists who brought their wonderful pieces. It was so nice to have such a variety of styles of art. (Susannah, Lado, Gosha, Mandy - thanks also for all your help setting up and taking down) Thanks to Lori and Boris - the ice-cave was excellent and the sound was perfect all day long. You guys have outdone yourself. Keep an eye out for future Burning Elf productions, the quality is top class. Ben-Light-O-Matic's lighting effects truly made the cave glistening, the art come alive and the aurora behind the DJ's made them seem to come out of the light! And the DJ's, OMG you were all so great, in the way you spun and in the way we all got along, no ego's, no BS, just love of music. Daka, Gosha, Boris, Andrew, Chico, Mike Soch and MachineElf, you brought us all over the place in a very good and pleasing way!! Dan and the guys you acoustic set with Kellys vocals was such a nice change in pace it helped us all feel refreshed for the afternoons craziness. Deepr in Zen played live all their own material, all the trackks are really really nice and well produced, kept the floor full and people happy. Thanks to Simon and Benji for making it out and fighting the Jet lag for so long. Love ye!!!!! And of course a big thakn you to Mark and Jeff for promoting the whole thing. Keep up the great work. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone and if I have I apologise in advance. As my time here draws closer to the end, it had to be the highlight of my New York adventure. At times I have to admit I did feel a lump formoing in my throat when I remembered that I'm soon leaving all you wonderful people. But thank God for e-mail and keep in contact. Now all I have to do is get some parties going in Ireland, build it up to a festival and ye ALL have to come:o) Keep it alive guys, but don't burn it out! I wanna have somthing to come back to, whenever I return! I'll be having a little going away kinda get together, DJ's and stuff!! Anyone that would like to come e-mail me off list and I'll give ye the details. To anyone that I won't get to see before I go, I will miss ye and thanks for a great 4 years :o) Must go now before I get soppy, packing and stuff to do.

WHY: This is a birthday party for all Sagitarians 11/23-12/21, who are known to be really big partiers so this will be one to remember. To get an idea of what Sagitarians are like see below. If you are or know a Sadge, then come on down and particpate! ELEMENT: Fire COST: FREE DATE: December 11 TIME: Come early (8pm) to eat, later (11pm) to party. 8pm-4am If you plan on joining the dinner email machinelf at brainmachines or call 212-330-9371. ADDRESS: Karma, 51 First Ave (3rd St) 212-677-3160 ID: All Ages, 21+ to drink, 33+ to get rip roaring drunk MUSIC: The energy of the music will match the energy of the crowd (Personally, we plan to blowing the place up - and someone on my shoulder will finish the job if iI die in the process!!) Si necessito we pull back the carpet to trance dance to tunes from Kakulja, Machinelf, and many more. DIVERSIONS: Slide art by Lisa R, projection by Gary Toro. Poetry by Evan Kakulja (see end of email for transcript). Astrological readings. Alex Grey art and books (you have to see the recently completed Cosmic Christ). Music written by Sagitarians (see below) To encourage all our friends to come help us celebrate a most chaotic crazy quilt of which we are all strands of theoretical string. To launch a monthly tradition of birthday celebration, and give trance people a chance to meet DMT people and possibly join the congregation. BRING: Hunter motif items. Bows and arrows. Centaur figures. If you have toys, trip toys, bring them. If you have art, bring it. If you can bring a lot of goodies for everyone, that would be swell. Bring enough to share. DRESS: Dress like your favorite pagan. Dress like a Centaur Archer Hunter. Bring a bow and arrows. GUESTS OF HONOR: To celebrate the birthdays of fun lovers Lisa R, Metal Mark Lorenz, Rich at indole, Boris Romanofsky, Gabriel (& Viviana), Bill & Ed, Evan Kakulja, Akasha, Serina Synapsita, Morgan Levine and daytripr42 , and ANY OTHER SAGITARIANS!! To paraphrase Kate, " is a lovely location, it's always been an intimate experience, get there early dance, talk, get to know the people that share the same love as you. 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!! IF YOU ARE OR KNOW A SAGITARIAN be sure to just show up. If you frequent our activities and are on safetydance then enter your birthday in our roster and celebrate with us go to http://groups.yahoo /group/SafetyDance/calendar PESONALITBasically, astrologically, they are ideal party people. They speak their mind and may hurt feelings without meaning to. Sagittarians are always looking for a challenge. They thrive on excitement and the unknown. The "archer" is the eternal optimist of the Zodiac. Take a look at the SAGITTARIUS in your life, does he have a penchant for truth? Does his curiosity take him/her to places that you have no interest in? Does he want to know the answers to everything? Is he a crusader for the underdog? Does he have more nerve than brains? Does he get himself into and out of scrapes more times than you care to know? When he gets into fixes, have you noticed how easily he comes out smelling like a rose in spite of the odours of others around? SAGITTARIANS are lucky because they believe they will be lucky. They know everything will turn out no matter what the present state of events may be. Not only are they optimistic, but they also usually have a great sense of humour. This gets them through the most trying times.

We work with EL wire, LEDs, lasers and assorted other luminaries to help spread a little light into to the foreboding darkness around us. We have an association with Burning Man and have supplied various theme camps, the Burning Man operas, artists and attendees with light wire for creative and decorative use. We offer free consultations, sponsor educational seminars (Tupperwire parties) and are also purveyor of electro-luminescent wire, aka glow wire or lightwire, a decorative and novelty wire used for costumes, masks, stage props, and fashion embellishments. Tupperwire is a gathering of like-minded techno and fashion earladopters who need to know the hows, wheres, and whys of light wire. Basically it all boils down to one question: "What's it gonna do for me?" And fellow techno friends, Tupperwire not only answers your questions, but it will also bring its little 'ol store front so you too can own a share of this delightful wire (your choice of color) for your own personal and experimental enjoyment. Our store front will have a limited supply of stuff. Once exhausted we will do back orders and ship ASAP (with a seven-10 day turn around). With kleverVice, aka DJ Shel.

Santa Con NYC 2001 promises to be a huge gathering of Santas, manfrom various d ifferent states. Remember, no spectators are allowed. You must be dressed i n the costume to join us in SantaCon. The Santas will wait around Katz's f or a little while, but then we'll take off for our workday: meeting the pub lic, handing out Christmas toys, spreading holiday cheer, and enjoying ours elves. As always, the itinerary will remain a secret; you have to walk it to experience it. There's a few things that Santas should bring on Saturda y: An unlimited Metro card, good walking shoes and a suitable outfit for al l day and night, and money. (There's only one cover charge this year, and i t's at our end-of-night party ($5) Everything else is free. But drinks, fo od, and disposable cameras are not free. Please practice discretion should you decide to display naked naughtbody parts or practice public drunkenn ess to the wrong cop -- or child.

Last year's two-day Santa rampage through the avenues of Manha ttan and the backstreets of Williamsburg was no-lie one of the best weekend s we'd ever had. Not just ever had in New York, but ever had ever. There's not much that compares to catching the look on people's faces when they stu mble upon 100 drunken Santas crammed into a subway car. The whole thing was just so much fun. Plus, we met some great folks who we became friends with in real life and ended up collaborating with on even more silliness during the rest of the year. This year's event is wisely restricted to one day, b ut we've been assured it's a doozy of a day. The event starts at the almost ungodly Saturday-morning hour of 11a and progresses into the night. If you 'd like to come you can still score cheap costumes at Gem stores in Manhatt an (Delancy) and Williamsburg (Metropolitan). Please find us and say hello: We'll be the one in the red suit. ***** Also on SATURDAY ***** La Supe rette La Superette is a pre-holiday bazaar where you can find the most ori ginal gifts from $1-50, all made by local and international artists, design ers, and passionate amateurs.

We think anyone who complains about it be ing crowded, or tired, is a thankless whiner who should move back to Great Neck. Physically, Rubulad is quite large, wonderfully decorated, often abs urdly crowded, and almost always fun. There are bands, DJs, art, people in costumes, and many fascinating comestibles. Because it is an ostensibly pr ivate party we have been specificallasked to not print the name or locati on of the place. If you would like to know it, please email us; we won't th ink you're uncool or out-of-the-know (and who cares anyway? cool people suc k). As a public service announcement, know that it has been extremely crowd ed in recent months and generally doesn't even get comfortable until 2 or 3 a. You can go early to beat the crowds and catch all of the performances, o r you can show up around 3a and have more room. From there, you have about a three or four hour window to dance, flirt, and do make out. After around 6a, the vibe can be a little odd and maybe even a bit creepy, with many dru nk boys trying to mop up. Please be careful and watch out for one another. This month: All-Star Holiday Extravaganza, with live music by Nurse & Sold ier, Moisturizer, the Hungry March Band, and Chin-Chin. Plus your Yuletide DJs $mall Change, Pataphisto, Koresh E. Fresh. Video projections by the Mig hty Robot Visual Squad. And more delicious visual smorgasbord from the Vide o Vault of Gary Balaban. Dress your holiday best! NOTE: We are happy to se nd you email about this party, just keep in mind that if you request it aft er 7p on Friday we will not get it and therefore be unable to get you addre sses and such. ***** Also on SATURDAY ***** Dumboluna Entertainment pre sents: Formula Many complex equations, reactive elements, and intense lab research culminated to create Formula, a social experiment invented by the mad lab cats at Intuition NYC.

I am fed up of the attitude towards the drugs. What about the immoral attitude of the clubs in turning off tap water in bath rooms when they know people our doing high intensity dancing and charging exorbitant prices for a basic human necessity after you have paid thirty bucks to get in somewhere. Turning off sound systems early when people have paid to see a specific DJ and they don't get to play. So please lets support those within our ranks who have a sense of personal and artistic integrity and understand the essence of trance. How refreshing to attend the latest Omnitribe party. Kick ass DJ's who are passionate about their music and can build the spirit in a crowd. People who go out of their way to create a visually stimulating environment, thank you those of you who always make the effort, it is appreciated. FREE WATER, so you can dance your ass off and not feel you are being screwed over or risking your life. What a wonderful energy to be surrounded by creative unpretentious people where you can leave your stuff without it being stolen. We should really make an effort when we see people ripping artwork off walls or going through peoples stuff. So please more of you come forward to encourage each other, lets make it more about the music than the dollar, thank you for reading. A message for one of the girls YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for the disgusting way you left the girls bathroom Friday night. It is unfair to expect other people to use it in that condition and to clean it up after you. Lets have a little respect. The English Emma Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 17:43:23 To: SafetyDance Subject: From Kate From: "ismokedmt" Jeff's braingenerated: >>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! >> >From dinkydun : I've only got to a computer now, at my home in -ireland and have to say that this statement has made me a wee bit pissed. First and foremost the party in Brooklyn was a going away party in a house, not a trance exclusive event, not an afterparty for anything, just a chance for my friends from all my time in New York to come together, I know more people than from the trance scene :oP (IT WAS POSTED BY YOU ON SAFETYDANCE- JW) Anyway we moved it to -sat nite firstly because of work commitments, secondly because I meant to get to Wizzy Noise but the financial situation did not allow and thirdly we knew that if we had a party/get together Friday nite, there was the risk that people would not make it to Alex Grey. (THIS WAS DECIDED RIGHT BEFORE IT HAPPENED; I APPROVED YOUR EMAIL THAT COINCIDED WITH ALEX GREY WITHOUT READING IT, GOING BY YOUR SPOKEN WORD THAT IT WAS STILL SATURDAY MORNING... I WOULDN'T REALLY CARE EXCEPT THAT IS THE SECOND TIME THE CONFUSION HAPPENED ON THIS LIST IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS - JW) UNfortunatlety as I had to work I did not get to Alex Grey Benefit, but I shall make up for that. Now that I have had time to think, I would really like top say that the flameing has to stop. The pitting of party organizers against each other has to stop. The rating of who is better/cooler than the other has definetly got to stop. You have such a great bunch of people in New York that want to do the right thing, but may be put off by the daming statements that has been mad ein the past. Cut the shite!! (DOUBLE AND TRIPLE BOOKING, STOPPING REFILLING WATER IN BATHROOMS, OVERCHARGING, MISLEADING ABOUT LINEUPS... SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW - JW) Anyway thanks to everyone that I meet in New York in the past 3/4 years. You have all been great and have helped in making my dreams come true. I definetly met people that I know I will be in contact with for a long time to come. Now that I can travel at will again I am sure that I will be meeting a lot of you over the spring and summer at different parties and festivals in Europe and surrounding areas. I can't WAIT!! Once again thanks to everyone. Keep up the good work, try to come together, try to stop turning it into popularity competitions, everyone is great in their own way. Everyone is equal, and there should not be the ~leaders~ or ~elite~ ! ee you all soon, and keep in contact Love Beannacht Kate xx (IF AN EVENT ORGANIZER SAYS THEY WILL DO SOmthING AND THEN DOES SOmthING ELSE THEN THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, POPULAR OR NOT -JW) To: Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] More essence less screwing From: "Hello Sushi" > More essence less screwing > Apologies in advance for getting on my soap box > > I am tired of being screwed over by the big clubs, who charge > exorbitant prices to get into the clubs to see our favourite and > respected DJ,s and then screw us all over i.e.: > Security who check us over like criminals confiscating our chewing gum > and sweets, so we buy more drinks, not to mention any other harmful > substances that might dangerously increase our sense of human > compassion and creativity, then act with seaming oblivion when > valuable pieces of art work, equipment and our coats our stolen under > their very noses. Solution: Don't go to them.. The clubs know exactly what they are doing, and everyone that attend these functions know/should know what they are going to put up with when thecomply to put up with the treatment that they endure. I've noticed that when I used to cheerfully slam down my hard-earned $30+ to attend these events every flipping week, I had in my mind that in some sort of way, as sad and f'ed up as it may be to say, I/someone I know was going to get screwed somehow.. And normally, whether it's someone getting their car broken into or towed, having their items stolen at the party, having the party start later/end earlier than promoted, having the water cost more at the venue than at the corner store, bathroom faux pas, etc. so on, my point gets proven. Now true, people constantly complain and complain, but you know what.. Those same people constantly continue to go to these parties, regardless of how horrible they get treated. It's a vicious cycle of sorts.. you get abused, then go back for more.. And for what??? Sure, you expect better treatment and you think that the promoters would listen, especially if you bitch and complain on a mailing list, but reality check here.. they don't give a hoot, and obviously, you don't either, for you're still showing up to those parties that you complain about and still enduring the same bullshiznit treatment.. Now what to say? Well, not anymore am I one of those people, for I got sick of it and got a taste of being treated well at parties now. I've noticed in the past few weeks that the underground scene (not just for psy-trance, but for other genres), is getting more grass-roots and more fun. That the promoters are actually giving a crap about their attendees and treating them with respect, instead of seeing them as walking dollar signs. For the past few weeks, I've attended some underground parties that would totally blow people's minds. They are well-organized, well-thought out, very accommodating to the party attendees, security treats one and all with respect. Their themes, some are costumed events, are fun for all and everyone that attends make the effort to actually participate. Location of parties are nice and spacious, so you don't feel like you are being crowd upon. If the flyer said that it starts at 9 and end at 7, guess what.. they start and end on time.. Beverage bars are stocked with everything from water to hard spirits - probably better than the clubs that charge $30+ to get in.. how sad is that?- and you are charged way less than these clubs.. And, if you bring in your own drink or food, it's ok.. Just as long as you respect the venue by disposing your containers!! You don't have to worry about being harassed and having your stuff removed from you. Hell, even coat-checks is a pleasant experience, for it's priced reallaffordable ($1.. WHUT?!?!?!) and, unless you piss the worker off, you would get your personal items back in better condition than you handed to them when you arrived. If you need to go back to your car to get somthing, you can come back in and out with no hassle from the security, unlike other parties... Plus, you needn't have to worry about watching your back all the time, for it's a comfortable enviroment to have fun, however you feel like doing so.. And to think, that all these cool parties cost only $10 max, while the more expensive parties end up not offering you what these other parties do and end up having you be treated like crap! Maybe some of these promoters that are dicking folks over need to take notes on what these underground folks are doing so they can accomodate their party goers. I'm sorry if I sound like a snob with my statements, but the ill-treatment of folks that are kicking out $30+ need to stop overall and people just need to stop settling for the abuse.

To: SafetyDance Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] More essence less screwing Organization: Lycos Mail (http://mail.lycos :80) From: "Ethan K Abramson" Reply-To: retron23 at lycos Hey now, don't go blaming promoters and party goers for all of your bad party experiences. I resent the idea that anyone who continues to support $30 parties at clubs is gullible or a glutton for punishment. One small detail you neglect to mention in your entire diatribe: the music. I reluctantly pay $30 to hopefully see live acts and djs whose music I feel is a cut above most of the stuff out there, not because I've never had a 'taste' of the underground scene. Comparing the two types of parties is like apples and oranges...of course underground parties are cheaper and they treat you better, duh...they're not paying huge sums to fly over the latest flavors of the month artists from Europe, and with the smaller crowds that show up, they don't have to get huge name-brand clubs, etc etc. Granted the security at many of these clubs sucks ass (my friend got literally strip searched for waiting by the bathroom for his girlfriend...courtesy of The World) but that's often not the promoter's fault since clubs usually have house security. Incidentally, at the Limelight party last week there was NO security of note. BTW, are you suggesting that a broken into/towed car is somehow related to a party? Anyway, the promoters don't need to 'take notes' on the underground since most of them started out doing small parties and worked their way up to the big ones over the years. While I certainly condemn the ill behavior of security, turning off tap water, confiscating candy (they took my nicorette gum at Amazura - that was a rough night), etc, keep in mind that many go through all that for the music, not for the hopes of cheap water and a good vibe. As far as the parties ending early and the like, yes that sucks, and anyone should feel free to try to argue with the club managers whenever that happens. Again, nothing against the underground djs, (the Omnitribe guys have been throwing down some awesome stuff lately), but when I want to hear brand spanking new killer tracks played live on a decent sound system by the artist who made them, I usually have to go through the hell of a New York City club processing-plant style nightmare...but you know what? Often it is worth it. -Ethan > >Solution: Don't go to them.. > >The clubs know exactly what they are doing, and everyone that attend these >functions know/should know what they are going to put up with when the>comply to put up with the treatment that they endure.

My complaints are not vainly made in t he hope that clubs will listen and change their attitude of course as long as they keep making the money they will carry on. What I hope is that a fter hearing so many voice their frustrations that we can have a sense of unity and support those who are trying to make difference If you have di scovered a scene that embodies artistic integrity then share it.

To: SafetyDance From: Machinelf In all my years of parties I have never been ejected for drugs or had somthing stolen. Here are simple steps to take. 1. Use a train or subway if possible, leaving your car in relatively safe neighborhoods 2. Use the coat check. If that is not available, try the DJ booth or a vendor friend. 3. Take a bike lock, metal cable, with a combination lock. Lock all of your belongings to a pole. Give the combination to your significant other. This in particular is wonderful, because it works with coats and backpacks. You can even put smaller locks on the zippers, and hang it at eye level to be extra sure. I've done that at hard core techno raves and nothing got taken. 4. Don't leave cameras or small electronics laying around. 5. Take vitamins etc before you go inside. 6. Do not do vitamins etc in the open. 7. Avoid others who have drugs out, esp. M joints. That's it. If you follow these guidelines you should remain a happy camper, with the exception of refilling water in the bathroom. That mist be addressed with the organizer directly.

I sent you a personal invitation that you might call over at some stage, it was NOT to be posted to any list. I had asked that off you, I asked you in Karma not to post it, yet you had on the schedule that I was having an afterparty and if anyone was interested to ask me, then you had it on the Wizzy Noise reminder to ask either you or me about it. It was not nor was it ever an AFTERPARTY, it was a going away party, maybe in your intoxicated state you did not hear me correctly, did not remeber clearly or whatever. If you are to continue promoting peoples events and want to do it correctly maybe you should get some help, (either an assistant or a counsellor!!) it was not moved at the last minute, when I SPOKE to you two weeks before we did not know who had to work or not, if it was alright with the people who lived in the house etc, etc, the party in Brooklyn was a going away party in a >house, not a trance exclusive event, not an afterparty for anything, >just a chance for my friends from all my time in New York to come >together, I know more people than from the trance scene :oP >(IT WAS POSTED BY YOU ON SAFETYDANCE- JW) >Anyway we moved it to -sat nite firstly because of work commitments, >secondly because I meant to get to Wizzy Noise but the financial >situation did not allow and thirdly we knew that if we had a >party/get together Friday nite, there was the risk that people would >not make it to Alex Grey. >(THIS WAS DECIDED RIGHT BEFORE IT HAPPENED; I APPROVED YOUR EMAIL >THAT COINCIDED WITH ALEX GREY WITHOUT READING IT, GOING BY YOUR >SPOKEN WORD THAT IT WAS STILL SATURDAY MORNING...

Get some help, get clean, get sober, cos you can't do what you are good at while you are in this position. You are a great and clever man, you are a great sales man, but for Christ sake give it up cos your gonna mess up everything you created if you don't sort your head out and come back into the real world!! I love you to bits, but am very worried about you, I know I shouldn't be, but I've seen too many go down the confused road of not being able to seperate reality from imagination. >(DOUBLE AND TRIPLE BOOKING, STOPPING REFILLING WATER IN BATHROOMS, >OVERCHARGING, MISLEADING ABOUT LINEUPS... SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT >PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW - JW) Jeff I agree that people need to know, and the whole idea about water and security is a very good thing, but if you start a rating games you run the risk of all the parties becoming the same, you run the risk of organisers having to fit into the format of how to do a party, if that happens, it ain't psychedelic anymore. Is it not part of the fun of psy parties, in NOT knowing what is going to happen?? As for the double and triple bookings, people need to communicate with each other more, not everyone has email, get phone numbers, meet up at different times, whatever but talk to each other more. It's a shame when the smaller groups collide, so everyone that organises or hopes to organise parties should get each other contact info and not be relying on psy-schedules, I at m sure you have enough to do Jeff as it is without being mediator between all the organisers. On the the other hand though, not all of us within the scene have the money to fork out 35/40 dollars for a party, especially around holidays or long weekends (which usually coincide with the fecking rent aswell!), so do you not think that is is fair that smaller groups should be allowed to give the less privileged and those without trust funds and big jobs, the opportunity to go out and enjoy themselves aswell?? The big holidays always seem to be dominated by the bigger more expensive parties, they get huge crowds anyway, they have their own mailing lists, so us within this smaller sub-community could and should have parties at the holidays that anyone can afford. >(IF AN EVENT ORGANIZER SAYS THEY WILL DO SOmthING AND THEN DOES >SOmthING ELSE THEN THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, POPULAR OR NOT -JW) Oh hold me accountable, tie me up and whip me for my sins mein Jeffmeister.

It was certainly never my intention to criticize any of the promoters, and nowhere in my initial e-mail will you find that reference. I am fully aware of the distinction between club management and promoters, I happen to know two of the aforementioned promoters and hold them in the highest esteem. That still does not change the fact that they are also at the mercy of the big clubs as well when it comes to holding an event for "the latest flavours", let us continue to support them in their quest for good venues with "decent sound systems". You also refer to the fact that one small detail I neglect to mention in my entire diatribe is the music. I believe if you care to reread that 'diatribe' you will note I make two references to music. Firstly about Artists who are passionate about their music and who understand how to build the spirit in a crowd and, secondly, that the events should be about the music and not the dollar. In reference to 'apples and oranges' I have consumed both to great satisfaction at the Alex Grey event and the Omnitribe event, if you have indeed attended them both you will see my point. Finally I had hoped that the misfortune of others would bring about compassion rather than scathing criticism and scorn. Does the statement "gullible" and "glutton for punishment" also apply to the two artists who had their work ripped off the walls of two recent events, or, perhaps to the person who had their projector stolen or indeed the girl who had her back pack unzipped with everything taken and stood crying outside one of the clubs? To conclude I hope my reply to your e-mail is succinct without stooping to the level of personal insults. In the need for further response please feel free to approach me personally and not bore others with our "diatribe". - The Idealist Hey now, don't go blaming promoters and party goers for all of your bad part experiences. I resent the idea that anyone who continues to support $30 parties at clubs is gullible or a glutton for punishment. One small detail you neglect to mention in your entire diatribe: the music. I reluctantly pay $30 to hopefully see live acts and djs whose music I feel is a cut above most of the stuff out there, not because I've never had a 'taste' of the underground scene. Comparing the two types of parties is like apples and oranges...of course underground parties are cheaper and they treat you better, duh...they're not paying huge sums to fly over the latest flavors of the month artists from Europe, and with the smaller crowds that show up, they don't have to get huge name-brand clubs, etc etc. > Granted the security at many of these clubs sucks ass (my friend got literall strip searched for waiting by the bathroom for his girlfriend...courtesy of The World) but that's often not the promoter's fault since clubs usually have house security. Incidentally, at the Limelight party last week there was NO securit of note. BTW, are you suggesting that a broken into/towed car is somehow related to a party? > Anyway, the promoters don't need to 'take notes' on the underground since most of them started out doing small parties and worked their way up to the big ones over the years. While I certainly condemn the ill behavior of security, turning off tap water, confiscating candy (they took my nicorette gum at Amazura - that was a rough night), etc, keep in mind that many go through all that for the music, not for the hopes of cheap water and a good vibe. As far as the parties ending early and the like, yes that sucks, and anyone should feel free to tr to argue with the club managers whenever that happens. > Again, nothing against the underground djs, (the Omnitribe guys have been throwing down some awesome stuff lately), but when I want to hear brand spanking new killer tracks played live on a decent sound system by the artist who made them, I usually have to go through the hell of a New York City club processing-plant style nightmare...but you know what? Often it is worth it. > -Ethan Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 15:49:05 EST Subject: One rule I forgot about safeguarding your valuables To: safetydance From: Machinelf One rule I forgot, and it should be the very first: If you go to a techno party, never ever ever let your belongings leave your sight.

Blakkat parties, Virus renegade et al are run by great people but the problem is a lot of thugs and thieves also like the music. Consider it a karma tax for not listening to trance. Oh, it all still happens at trance parties, but only the big ones where it is hard to crack down on them in time, if not outright eject them immediately as was attempted at Limelight. People like the BTS sharpen their skills by stealing from each other. As trance people step out into the night and spill over into other vital genres, the same goes for drum and bass and two step etc. It goes a little for so-called progressive trance. id Wed, 19 Dec 2001 23:43:45 To: SafetyDance Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] One rule I forgot about safeguarding your valuables From: andrew fusco OK this is really making me sad, all this stuff below i am reading from you guys. i go to parties out here in the west and have never heard of anyone taking anything form anyone else. at lame ass little kid parties, people sometimes worry a little more, but still i have not heard of thefts.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, YOU DAMN COMMIE BASTARDs!!! ROFL! Seriously, if you want to blame someone blame the fucking government not party promoters.. or as they should be called, party producers. If thewant to produce a legal party and not get their asses sued or in jail theneed to work with a legal venue, and legal venues are deliberately limited by the city as we all know, and they can get shut down for numerous violations including the use of drugs by their patrons, or they can get sued out of existence by just one violent incident.. So those that own the venues are looking out for themselves, to stay open, and to make some monewhile they can stay open. Refusing to attend the parties unless things improve is unlikely to do more than put the producers out of business, it won't do anything about the venues. It is unlikely that any psytrance party producer has enough influence to make a permanent change in the club environment... SS tried with Amazura and you can see how well that worked out. For example I asked them (SS) to please straighten out the confiscation of candy so that we could bring in halloween candy for everyone.. they DID make an effort and straighten it out.. we were able to bring in the treats. So how long do you think that lasted??? The very next party they were back to confiscating candy. I hardly think that Kris and Gilles told them to go back to doing that.. this is what the venue wants to do and they are going to do what they want to do. Use whatever logic you want but clearly the clean, big, legal venues our producers would like to use for parties obviously are not going to change their ways for us. You say go to small parties and that's great but small all-night venues are not easy to find and you cannot do the same kind of decoration etc there.. it's a different kind of party. If you are willing to completely give up the big all-night parties then go ahead and boycott producers and put them out of business. It won't accomplish anything except hurting ourselves and the producers who are also part of ourselves. -Ben (light-o-matic) To: SafetyDance Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] Gullible Glutton for the Punishment of Party Promoters Organization: Lycos Mail (http://mail.lycos :80) From: "Ethan K Abramson" Reply-To: retron23 at lycos 'Idealist'; I was replying to a different message, which I included in my post, but you seem to have cut out of your response.

Raison d-etre - Me, even though i usually look a decade younger i feel old and irrelevant. Psy-trance as a genre is no longer in puberty. New York is no longer the freak show it was in the early-midd 90s. There have been so many interesting groups, from rainbows to artists to actors to chemists to ravers to what have you. For years I wanted to attract as many cool and interesting freaks into psy-trance, and my motivation was to stick it to Twilo. which eventually ejected me and my brain machines. now, after a huge bust which came up grasping at straws, I am still battling to recover all my possessions. But I am out and free. But without my gadgets and machines I am an emperor with no clothes. It is my hope that others will continue to try to achieve the dream, so that some day when I return I won't be the only freak. Bottom line, i have to de-maneuver, since right now if I had children some enemy would have them taken from me. Ya'll have a Merry Christmas. I will see ya'll at Tsunami for New years!

A major mobilization is being planned to protest their meeting. The World Economic Forum is the gathering of political and business leaders to set the agendas of corporate domination which later become formalized by governments and international institutions. This is where the networking and brainstorming is done that sets policy for the WTO, the IMF and World Bank, and the other undemocratic, non-accountable institutions that impose corporate rule around the world. This is the first major meeting of the global corporate powers since September 11, and the first opportunity for the global justice movement to respond. We call on Pagans and our friends to join us in New York City to participate in creative resistance to the World Economic Forum and the unjust, global economic system that is destroying the health of the planet and impoverishing the majority of the world's people. We sathat our lives, our communities, the health of the earth's ecosystems, the cultures of indigenous peoples, the dreams of children are too important to be subsumed to profit. Another world is possible: a world of justice, freedom, ecological balance, real democracy and true abundance, and we will make it real. What Is A Pagan Cluster? -- We are people who cannot separate spirit from action. We see the earth as a living being, and all of life as interconnected. Our spirituality is earth-based, erotic, and engaged with the global struggles for justice, liberation, equality and ecological balance. -- In our actions we attempt to embody the world we want to create. -- Our actions respect the life, well being, and dignity of all people. -- We are colorful, beautiful and playful. We are courageous, bold and willing. We bring creativity and ritual to actions and to organizing. -- We give people a taste of the energy and power of magic, and show a glimmer of what is possible. -- We seek actions that allow people to participate at different levels of risk. We strongly value support roles as well as front-line roles. -- We model solidarity with other activists, on the street, in jail, in the courts, in the press-even though we may not agree completely with their tactics or their politics. -- We mobilize magical support for our actions. -- We transform tense moments and places to create a sense of safety and possibility. -- We recognize the violence directed against our movement, and acknowledge the toll of the trauma. We consciously integrate healing into our politics/actions. -- We value and provide training and preparation for actions. -- We build bridges and open channels of communication between many diverse groups. -- We are anti-authoritarian and nonhierarchical. We make decisions by consensus. We encourage the formation of affinity groups. -- You don't have to be a Pagan to join our cluster, but you do have to be willing to put up with Pagans who do ritual, sing songs, and plan strategy through divination. Fire and Water This action takes place over the festival of Brigid, ancient Irish Goddess of fire and water, the holy well and the sacred flame. Brigid is the Goddess of the forge, the patroness of poetry and healing. For many of us, her festival has long been a time for political magic. In many previous actions, the Pagan Cluster has formed a Living River, drawing attention to issues of water, asserting that water is sacred, and a human right to be protected against exploitation. We've challenged the FTAA, Bechtel Corporation, and the IMF and World Bank to stop privatizing water and to address the Cochabamba Declaration which calls for an international treaty to protect our rights to water. In this action we also carry Brigid's flame, the flame of truth, of courage, hope and passion. We oppose a global system based on the power of domination, backed by the firepower of the gun and the bomb, fueled by a vast, oil burning engine which manipulates governments, destroys indigenous communities, and assaults the health of the earth's ecosystems and climate. We invoke the renewable powers of sun, wind and water, the hearthfire of global solidarity, the creative fire of inspiration, and the transformative fire of healing, to fight fire with fire, to remake the world in the service of that power which sprouts seeds and pushes forth new growth in the warming days of spring. What We Will Do On Friday, Feb. 1, we have been asked by the co-ordinators of the group Another World is Possible to begin the weekend of actions by planning a vigil/pageant/ritual and helping to create a safe space/temporarautonomous zone. The event we create will be welcoming to people of all (or no) religious persuasions, and will aim to be a safe and non-arrest situation, that will focus on healing, empowerment, and forging our vision. The overall scenario for the whole weekend of actions is now being developed by a number of groups. We'll participate as a contingent in marches and actions planned by other groups. We will form our own plan for actions that allow a wide spectrum of participation by people with varying needs. We'll offer public ritual, create healing spaces and bring ritual into the streets. We'll provide trainings and preparations for the actions. We are eager to connect and network with Pagans from the local area who come from other traditions or communities. We encourage New York CitPagans to participate in the general organizing. In our organization, we will embody the principles of openness, participation, empowerment and real democracy that are the foundation of the world we strive to create. We intend to carry out our actions with vision, imagination, creativity, humor and joy, with sensitivity to the immense suffering caused by the attacks of September 11, with respect for the lives, enterprises, cultures and heritages of the people of New York City, and in a manner that encourages all to join us. How To Connect The Pagan Cluster listserve for organizing this action is LivRiv To subscribe, email livriv-subscribe Our general listserve for discussion and organizing magical support for actions is rwto To subscribe email rwto-subscribe We will attempt to organize housing for the cluster, training times and meeting spaces, and to physically meet in the days before the action. When to Come? The meetings begin on Thursday, January 31st. The scenario is still being developed, but conferences, art making, a countersummit and a student mobilization with workshops, panels and trainings will begin in the week leading up to the action, especially on Thursday and Friday. Major direct action will take place on the weekend. The earlier people come, the more time we will have for training and preparation, and the more you will be able to participate in planning and creating the actions.

My friend runs the web site tranceact, he streams live from his place three nights a week and the rest of the time he's playing past files he's saved. He's got it all set up. If we wanted to try a live remote he'd probably accomodate us. But our own server would be cool.

No, not an internet connection for the server, an internet connection for the encoder. The server lives wherever, and the connection it has determines how many simultaneous listeners you can handle. The encoder lives at the party, and the connection it has determines the maximum bitrate stream you can encode. If you have a 56K modem connection at the party, then you can only encode at most a 48K stream, no matter what kind of connection the server or your listeners have. One really nice thought.. has anyone tried to move a Time-Warner cable modem from one place to another? A lot of venues have cable.. that would entirely solve the problem. Anyway, I'm more than willing to help out in this venture, I think it's a great idea. But first we need someone producing a party to saYES, we want this, and YES we are willing to discuss it with the venue. -ben (light-o-matic) From: Ben Date: Mon Jan 7, 2002 0:06am Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] Re: |>/-/- -|- Online Radio?

Its a PC with a Pentium II processor and several gigabytes of memory to work with. No fancy, high speed internet connections or anything. My thought was that it be set up so that people could dial in to it directly (DHCP?), log in and be part of a local multicast, hopefully bypassing the congestion and periodic sluggishness to be found on commercial servers. Obviously, this being a "grass roots" implementation, there are certain limits on the number of people who could reasonably log in to this particular PC without overloading it, but there's no reason why other even moderately powerful computers couldn't be brought in to lighten the load. If a lot of people want to listen and only a few PCs are acting as server, then maybe dial-up numbers could be allocated (based on proximity?) to keep things spread evenly. Milton Though I do find the idea of broadcasting from an actual venue exciting, I was thinking that one of the advantages of doing it online or through local dialup is that the party doesn't need to be bound to a conventional venue and doesn't even need to be connected with a physical party. Granted, it would be nice to have an actual party to attend, especially if the music is pumping, but the broadcast could also be originating from someone's living room or several living rooms, with the DJs spinning their sets just like radio DJs do. During the winter months when there aren't any bridge parties and during times where money issues hinder securing a actual space, "parties" can be organized and broadcast from almost anywhere with a minimum of cost and hassle. Besides, I think it would be good that when there actually are parties, those who can't be there in person can still participate virtually. If it can be finagled that the broadcasts indeed happen over the Internet with reasonable fidelity, (or that they happen locally and then expand to the Internet) then it can possibly be used as a lure for new members. Let them hear the party, but not know the location, assuming there really is one. If they want to attend the party and participate in the DMT (or whatever), they can pay to join. Non-local listeners will still get to hear the music and local people who want more will have a better idea of what they're getting into. Anyway, I think that a pretty central issue is that we need someone with a laptop at the actual site to encode and relay the signal to whatever is acting as the server. Does anyone have a laptop, even a basic one, that could be used to do this? Milton From: "Paul N. Hrisko" Date: Mon Jan 7, 2002 9:58am Subject: Re: |>/-/- -|- Online Radio? This is somthing I've been doing for years, namely netcasting from outdoor/indoor venues including the Tibetan Freedom Concerts & The Detroit Electronic Music Festival. I have the encoders & equipment so that's no big deal. The main issue is in the connection out to the net. The main issue are bandwidth and audience. If most of the listeners are 56K modem connections, then there's little need to stream 320K. You realistically need about 128K bandwidth (ISDN) for a decent signal. We always use 56K for backup and that even provides a decent quality stream, albeit low fidelity. Also, the new codecs have improved greatly so the quality issue becomes less of an issue (that sounds redundant). Cell modems are out, most providing 19.2K connection (ir less), plus error correction in the cellular protocol trashes the stream to make it almost unusable. Now we come to 802.11b LANS. Hmm, I've been war driving around the city and noticed a bunch of wireless networks with little or no security. We could look around the venue and possibly 'acquire' a connection to one of these networks and use it to stream the signal. 802.11b provides a lovely 11Mbps connection which give us tonnes of overhead. If anyone want to give this a shot, I'm up for it. P. From: "Charles J. Knipe" Date: Mon Jan 7, 2002 11:06am Subject: Re: |>/-/- -|- Online Radio? I'd be interested in helping out. One thing that can possibly be done toward the bandwidth issue is to use an inverse multiplexer with 2 or more modem connections. It'd require some doing, and we'd need multiple phone lines (both at the venue, and at a second location), but it could be done. This may or may not be easier than getting somthing like a cablemodem on-site. -Charles Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 19:23:26 To: SafetyDance Subject: New trance technologist list From: "ismokedmt" Streaming, wireless, acoustics tech group for the greater New York area.

But you still sit there in your house/apartment, doing the same old crap ... The Ski House is here for 7 more weekends, and 6 full weeks.... Anyone who wants their own reserved spot for the rest of the winter need only pay $50 and can then come as much as they want!! and stay as long as you want!!.....though you may end up sleeping on couches/floors....if you'd rather definetly have a bed, pay a little extra and you got it! (let us know what you can afford) That's right $50 for your own goddamn ski lodge, for 7 weeks!! There's lots of interesting things to do, in a secluded area in the woods/mountains, besides partying, conversation, meeting the coolest people around etc. There's also skiing and snowboarding 5 mins away, a lake nearby which you might be able to ice skate on,trails,king of the hill and lots of other fun things to do.... The house is big and has a large basement that could be used to party in that we haven't even needed yet because it hasn't been crowded enough... but it looks like this weekend may be different, so make some plans.. get off your ass and get out to the poconos... Well you might say what am I getting for my $50...a huge 3 level house in the woods with plenty of room, for 7 weeks!!!.... It should be obvious that this is quite a steal,.... our only hope right now as far as collecting money goes is to pay back the people who put up extra $$ so we could get the house....if we do that then you'll also have tons of free food and party favors available at the house with the extra $$$ leftover (Though there is already a ton of that every weekend already, everyone is encouraged to bring food,music,art,books,movies etc. to share and most do ....) You can see tons of pictures of the whole thing and some of the people who were there at: http://www.heracleitus /dmtski/pics1/ If your interested check out the website at: http://www.heracleitus /dmtski/ And if your planning on going/paying you're encouraged to join the yahoogroup at: http://groups.yahoo /group/dmtski/ If you have a car and have room in it there most likely will be people willing to pay your gas/tolls if you can bring them along, if you don't have a car but would like to come up, simply post to the yahoogroup that you need a ride and most likely someone will be able to accomodate you... To get your spot and help us pay back those who put up extra out of their pockets you can send money via paypal to: Rocktheshow or neural at prodig Questions? page me yo... at: RockTheShow You can also call my cell phone 856-275-0275, though make it after 8pm so I don't go over my daytime minutes again this month......

(let us know what you can afford) That's right $50 for your own goddamn ski lodge, for 7 weeks!! There's lots of interesting things to do, in a secluded area in the woods/mountains, besides partying, conversation, meeting the coolest people around etc. There's also skiing and snowboarding 5 mins away, a lake nearby which you might be able to ice skate on,trails,king of the hill and lots of other fun things to do.... The house is big and has a large basement that could be used to party in that we haven't even needed yet because it hasn't been crowded enough... but it looks like this weekend may be different, so make some plans.. get off your ass and get out to the poconos... Well you might say what am I getting for my $50...a huge 3 level house in the woods with plenty of room, for 7 weeks!!!.... It should be obvious that this is quite a steal,.... our only hope right now as far as collecting money goes is to pay back the people who put up extra $$ so we could get the house....if we do that then you'll also have tons of free food and party favors available at the house with the extra $$$ leftover (Though there is already a ton of that every weekend already, everyone is encouraged to bring food,music,art,books,movies etc. to share and most do ....) You can see tons of pictures of the whole thing and some of the people who were there at: http://www.heracleitus /dmtski/pics1/ If your interested check out the website at: http://www.heracleitus /dmtski/ And if your planning on going/paying you're encouraged to join the yahoogroup at: http://groups.yahoo /group/dmtski/ If you have a car and have room in it there most likely will be people willing to pay your gas/tolls if you can bring them along, if you don't have a car but would like to come up, simply post to the yahoogroup that you need a ride and most likely someone will be able to accomodate you... To get your spot and help us pay back those who put up extra out of their pockets you can send money via paypal to: Rocktheshow or neural at prodig Questions? page me yo... at: RockTheShow You can also call my cell phone 856-275-0275, though make it after 8pm so I don't go over my daytime minutes again this month......

Hiking and running around the woods is in order. Directions are attached. If you have extra space in your car LET ME KNOW and you will be reimbursed. sorry for all the confusion i'm quite sober these days. if you want to hear one of my patented "sober sets" come before 11pm tonight. it's cool when the songs follow each other and are not punctuated by silence or me battling off my girlfriend, who is throwing my needed CD like a frisbee.

This review, written by a friend of mine, was about his first trance party. ^^ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 05:14:46 EST From: RexxxBlack Subject: My Review On Friday Feb. 8, 2002 I ventured down to a Psy-Trance Birthday Party held in a loft in Williamsburgh and WOW what a Blast! The Groove never stopped from beginning to end. Once in a while, there might be a 5 second lull between waves of sound, and people would break into spontaneous applause, to reward the hard-working DJs. The ONLY lights were Black-Lights. There was a Beautiful KozMik Solar System of Unknown Planets, all different shapes and sizes and painted in original Day-Glows. Staring at them in awe, I took a double-take and realiized, YES, it wasn't mimagination....they were slowly revolving around, above the Dance Floor in different directions. Speaking of the Dance Floor, upon it were Intricate Diamond Patterns in Day-Glow tapes, creating a kind of karmic force to those dancing above and upon it. The Front of the room had a kind of Cosmic Healing area. There were folks painting, making beads and weaving Flourescent strands into others' flowing Hair. There were also beautiful people writing out signs and statements explaining why we are all here....."to enjoy and respect life and to be responsible to the earth and all its creatures". There was also a wonderful Tattoo Artist named Artext who was offering reasonably-priced Temporary AirBrush Skin Painting. Amazing talent. One woman looked like a Tiger, another like a Lion. Every face I saw all night had the biggest Smile I have ever witnessed at anclub, and believe me, I go to clubs 4-5 nights every week. It was infectious. There were ample supplies of FREE Farm-Fresh Apples, Pears, Bananas and Water. Also, because this Psy-Trance was also a Birthday Party for a LovelGirl named Jamie, there was also Yummy Chocolate Birthday Cake. The Party began at 11PM and didn't break up 'til 11AM the next morning. The Light Show was amazing all night long, the constantly changing DJs gave everyone ample chance to find the groove they were seeking and the revelers were each and everyone satisfied. I prided myself in locating the best, happparty I can ever remember attending.

Every time you go to Tsunami and give your brainmachines email address, the DMT gets $1. So far, we have $110. (Specifically I get $1 per name per party and am using that to raise money for the impounded speakers. If you're not on brainmachines just send me an email and I will add you to just the guest list) The generator cost $500. The speakers cost $1800. Wylie wants to sell his VW van for $1000. I'm getting a salary job within the next three weeks so we should be covered either way. I wonder who will be the first to do a bridge party this year. What about doing a weekly Sunday day event under the bridge?

As we expected, all my charges were formally dismissed this morning and sealed - burglary, trespassing, possession of K, possession of paraphernalia, possession of needles. All misdemeanors. They tried to find felony drugs in a bunch of pez candy I had but tests proved fruitless. So the computer crime unit and narcotics lost any interest in even meeting with me. My lawyer said it's common for police to take whatever they can get away with from drug suspects. With all the hippy and drug related posters, medical diagrams, MRI brain scans, brain machines, electrodes, bags of funny smelling unidentifiable powders, scales, syringes, computers, costumes, tennis bags full of pez candies (which tested negative), pictures of me in Amsterdam wearing Cyberdog pants, Polaroids of me smiling with a gas mask and beaker and a huge assortment of (legal) smart drugs and literature etc they mistook my party pad for a drug lab! (Note to self: Keep apartment presentable to the authorities should they ever be allowed in by a guest.) There have been numerous instances where police would call 911 on a known drug dealer, go there, and steal whatever they can. I knew somthing was "up" when an arresting officer pocketed my wallet with $1500 and party supplies :-) Karma works in mysterious ways. Had he been honest I would still be in jail (and the judge would have probably not granted me release on my own recognizance without having to post bail) My lawyer is also President of the New York Criminal Bar. He is enraged at my treatment and will see it through to the end and is confident we'll get ours. The whole recovery process will take a while (it took 9 months to get to THIS point) and may involve a lawsuit against the city or NYPD. My lawyer sees this as necessary so that the DA can keep a handle on the NYPD's actions. As my case was dismissed, I still have plenty of credit for the retainer. I have plenty of documentation of my possessions and a battery of solid testimonials and a job and all that so my lawyer says my chances are good to make a difference and show the police that we are innocent until proven guilty. I for one want to teach the bullies a lesson: whether it's the BTS or NYPD, we can't let thugs get away with theft. Much thanks to Omnitribe who kept the outdoor spirit alive last year!

Subject: Autonomous Festival for Freedom in Woomera, Australia To:, , From: Yvonne (Sorry if you have seen these articles before.) Woomera is a remote town, 500 kms from Adelaide (Australia). It is the home of a huge detention cent er where over 650 people seeking asylum from Afghanistan, Iraq, South Asia, etc. are detained; women, families and children. Over 50 children detaine d are without parents. In January, the detainees organized a hunger strike where many sewed their mouths shut, or impaled themselves on the metal bar bed wire that surrounds the jail. Starting yesterday, a festival of free dom started at the perimeter of the camp. See the call to action here: htt p://www.woomera2002 /calltoaction.php3 Yesterday, riots broke out at th e jail. A dozen detainees had a brief moment of freedom. - see pictures f rom the BBC 000/1900482.s tm - article from The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/wor ldlatest/story/0,1280,-1621729,00.html - updated news from Melbourne's Ind ymedia http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/ Today, March 30th is the global day of solidarity -- March 30th Of course you can show your solidarity a t any time; but we envisage that as the protests in Woomera gather by the 2 9th, the authorities might well respond severely to protesters, including t hose inside the internment camp - as they have done time and again when tho se behind the razor-wire have called for freedom - including with tear-gas, water-cannon and beatings. Above all, we would ask you to respond to this. Here are some suggestions of things you can do: - Send faxes to the Austr alian Government and Opposition - the policy of mandatory and extrajudicial internment is a bi-partisan one. See below for fax and emails. - Make a n oise in front of the Australian embassy or consulate near you. - Organise protest at one of the other detention centres in Australia: Maribyrnong, Vi llawood, Port Hedland, Curtin and Perth. Or create some direct action at a detainment centre, department office or estate near you. - Protests for th e rights and freedom of sans papier everywhere. The Australian Government h as established offshore internment camps in the Asia-Pacific, and there are also a number of detention centres in Europe and the USA. - Participate o nline in woomera2002 - details on how to do this will be up shortly on http ://www.woomera2002 / - Get involved in noborder actions near you, or ge t them going. See http:noborder.org/ and http://antimedia/xborder/ for links to numerous noborder groups and events around the world. - Help us o ut with funds and/or skills. See the woomera2002 website.

I know its probably pretty stupid of us to have carried our passports in the first place, but we`re Indian citizens and do not have any other form of identification so did not really have a choice in the matter. The bag was a red and black north face that was left on top of the speakers next to the dj stand at the amazura. If anyone saw it or can help, please do so by contacting me at either ct401 at stern.nyu . The person who stole it apparently lives in Coney island. We dont care about who this person is, and are not interested in making a case or even filing a report. As long as he would be honest about it and return our passports, we are really not concerned about what he would do with the rest of his life. We did manage to speak to the culprit from my cellphone, and tried all of last evening to convince him to return at least the passports to us. He did seem to agree for a while, but mysteriously disappeared after some time. Additionally, he said that since we`re Indian, we blew up the world trade center, and asked for $1000 to return the passports. This is completely wrong, because the whole point of these psytrance gatherings is precisely to get away from these divisions and boundaries and all of that shit. Obviously, what happened at the world trade center is terrible, but we all must understand that it does not make Indians or even Afghanis terrible people. Wat is far more important to realise than the fact that AMERICAN human lives were lost there and an attack was made on America is the fact that HUMAN LIVES irrespective of which nation they were from were lost there and an attack was made on humanity. I think most of you people can understand this fact, and for those who cannot, I have absolutely nothing against you and all I can do is hope that better sense does prevail in you one day. Many of you have been to Goa in India, and know what that means for you. The whole scene is about that, its about being happy and not having to worry, and being able to love and enjoy your life, and trust and have a good time with the people around you. And to a small extent, it is also about being sure that you can leave your bag at one of these parties and not have it stolen. This was not Paul Van Dyk or some other commercial bullshit that we all came for on friday, this is a psytrance party and it is there for a reason. Shiva Love, light and peace is just not an empty phrase, nor is Peace, love, unity and respect. If you do not believe in these things, and if you think that Americans are somehow different from Indians and it is necessary for you to take your frustrations out on a bunch of international students, then please do not come for these parties, you have absolutely no place in an event like this. I really thank you if you have taken the time to read this, and/or if you can help out by giving us some info on who might have taken the bag. thanks, CT Subject: Re: [SafetyDance] Passports stolen at Synthetic Sadhus PartTo: phadrus604profile, SafetyDance From: Tamara Hummel CT, I just wanted to let you know that my bag was also stolen at synthetic this friday along with my house keys. I realize that its not nearly as bad as your passports. It truly saddens me to think that people could stoop so low and be so ignorant as to what is really going on in the world today concerning Sept 11th. I wish you all the luck in the world in getting your passports back from this horrible person. The only consolation that I can offer to you is that karma has a way of paying back those who do bad things to others. However, if this person persists in you paying him $1000 bucks for the return of the passports, perhaps you should file a report with the police?!

I have to echo Sasha's concerns about lack of happy trancers at Synthetic Sadhus parties... Since i don't carry anything in with me, i've never had anything stolen at the club (although my car....), but i cringe at the idea of going back to their parties because every time i do attend, i get unwantingly groped, grinded or made to feel utterly gross. I'm used to happy trancer environments where i'm more than welcome to come in my big baggy pants and tank top and dance until i can't dance no more without the assumption that i've come to get picked up. Unfortunately, that's not the environment i've experienced at those parties where i have to go out of mway to dress boringly and dance stiffly and make certain that i'm always with my crew. Yuck. I guess i just want an open environment that's not simply a pick-up joint that appears to be full of thieves. That's why i decided to stop going... danah Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 16:57:47 EST Subject: Let's get the record straight re: parties To: yahoo.z3z at danah.org, alex at artvant-garde Cc: SafetyDance From: Machinelf if you want vibe and all that spectra and omnitribe and burning elf and dmt are the way to go. smaller better in that regard. the problem is, there's just not enough core trance people to go around, esp. with all the sheet going on in israel now. the economy sucks and people can't afford to go out. Sometimes I feel like most people I know are unemployed. I still can't figure if it's because they're trance people, either... SS and Tsunami have the best big name djs and SS has by far the best art and decor ever. But large parties attract a general crowd. As you go Above Ground you dilute your vibe somewhat, it's inevitable. if you are a newcomer it's harder because you can't find a nice crowd of friends. Tsunami has had its ups and downs. SS seems to have a nice trance mafia all around. The irony is that more ravers go to Amazura. SS gets more clubby people, esp as it's at the Amazura. Although some people refuse to go there. my favorite all time place is Amazura. The Amazura has always had problems with theft; i'm sure it's the same people. There are also raves thrown at Amazura. Probably the same who were smoking angel dust. We are finding out that venue has a big influence on vibe. Tsunami at Vinyl are always standing room only. SS at Marc Ballroom was always hot crowded but wonderful. Tsunami at Shelter is comfortable but somewhat sparse. SS at Amazura is spacious, beautiful, and a little PUBLIC, like a shopping mall taking over by a psychedelic Santa aided by his elves.. Ho Ho Ho. ...And an evil Santa with a big bag of your toys, walking out the door. So lock your shit up and enjoy the music!

It was an interminable row of two- or three-storied houses with pointed roofs and wooden beams, in the style of medieval houses or English country houses. I suddenly saw a man running. ire was a messenger. I had to slow down and placed myself next to him. That is, next to his face, since in this dream only my soul participated. My soul is a sphere of some 7 cm. in diameter, pure energy, and it rotates on itself at such enormous speed that it would be the same if it didn't. It can displace itself in any direction at the speed it wishes. My soul sees, hears, thinks; it perceives odors, I believe, but has no sense of touch for the simple reason that it repels matter. We must in the first place take notice that this is a dream of fantasy of her "soul," and this awareness of an entity which is regarded as a soul as distinct from the body is seen with the same explicitness in other experiences too. Consider the following de- scription by a al-year-old Chilean journalist: I was going farther and farther away from myself. I was real- izing that my body and my mind were such autonomous forces that if they had ever converged in me it seemed pure chance. What during my entire lifetime I had sensed like mingled con- fusion now appeared to be divided in three precise domains: outside lay the world, people, buildings and noises (for which I cared less and less); closer, as a boundary, stood my organism, with those hands, that mouth and its laugh, now commanded by itself; inside, at last, in the innermost and recondite, warmly floating in the skin that was always with me, was I. That is, my mind. I remember a Negro woman I saw from above ... I saw her from a distance of some 3 meters and then approached her further, from her right side. She carried a purple parasol of a very bright, almost luminous color, like a sea anemone, like em- broidery, and would twist it around its axis so that it unfolded like loose chiffon or in the form of an aurora borealis, and she laughed with a coarse and vulgar laugh.

I was alseep all day at me casa with my woman being responshible and all that, having DMT dreams about robotic doll houses with the option of becoming the dolls, Alice in Wonderland style (that happens to your dreams if you've even smoked it just once); besides she has all my music at her house, the schemer.

Uh, no idea how Liran's Hommega party at Tribeca Grand Hotel went, let's just say there was a nice contingent of Israelis at Son Kite and we'll leave it at that.

In case you haven't heard, the weekend long outdoor Lord of the Rings themed trance festival is a go. Dress as your favorite Lord of the Rings character. I myself have 3 or 4 different personae lined up for your edification and amusement, including maybe, the Eldar bearer of the 3rd Elven Ring AKA the "Red Ring" (the identity will be revealed Friday), the Hobbit Golfimbul (who invented Golf by hitting a "goblin" so perfectly his head flew off many yards), a Uruk Hai Orc leading a scando heavy metal band (with Metal Mark as backup but need a drummer, Peter Criss is busy), and Sauron himself. You can be.. Galadriel, or Gandalf, or Elrond, Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Arwen, there are so many choices. Who will be Tom Bombadil? Celebrant? Saruman? Frodo? And who will bear the One True Ring? I know many of you purists or even lightweights never wear costumes and just want to hear trance music. If that's the case, I would like to make you feel as uncomfortable as possible over the course of a weekend.

If you haven't read the books or seen the movie, you have a huge blind spot on your cultural literacy that needs to be remedied!! Keep in mind you have to RSVP, and not to me... Limited to 200 people and spaces are going fast - probably by the time you get this, if you don't check yer email often there will may only a few spaces left.. Lori and Boris are organizing it.

So if you were at Burning Elf last year, you know this is not to be missed. Burning Elf and the Alex Grey Benefit were the two best parties last year, and this one just might top it.

Project and some scandotrance with a lead singer/DJ, guitarist (Mark Lorenz) and a drummer (Terry Spacehopper). We need more in our band of killers! Fire twirlers! Torturers! Black shamans! Lady Orcs! Half-Orc Perps! You can also loan us appropriate CDs. We will help you assemble your costume and makeup for a very small cost, which will pay for the accoutrements that will not cost all that much (be ready to pay up you don't want just blackface and a burlap sack!) If you're really ugly in a human way you will be welcomed in our group, as our standards for beauty are opposite that of the humans. (Astrid - YUCK!) It's also be cheaper, as we won't need facial add-ons for you. FUCK THE ELVES!!! >Burzum was a black metal band that appeared circa 1992-97. Varg Vikernes named his band Burzum after one of Tolkien's words for darkness (in the language of Morder, the word Burzum means darkness). He also chose "Count Grishnackh" as his black metal name (after one of the orcs in the Lord of the Rings series). So what if he allegedly burned down three churches in Sweden. So what if he has neo pagan/nazi beliefs. AND SO WHAT if he stabbed and killed his friend and fellow co-producer over a matter of money (which he is serving 21 consecutive years for). I think that his music is awesome, and that he should deserve an honorary cut in the lord of the rings soundtrack. Any thoughts to this? There is a long tradition of metal Orc bands in Sweden.

Tolkien gatherings are serious affairs: One elvish feast that Persson attended took months to prepare. The central meal incl uded honeyed bread, mulled wine, roasted boar, blueberry pie, and Psilocyb e Fungi. People shot arrows, danced, and bathed naked in the streams, taking care to remain in character at all times. This meant that participa nts not only removed all references to the modern world (smokers switched to pipes) but abandoned Swedish for their own version of Quenya. The boys from Za FrFBmi enjoy these elvish fetes, but they really get off on plaing orcs. "I like the orcs' cultural way of life," says Persson. "They are crude and primitive but still in some ways more advanced than us."

Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 13:53:38 Subject: Another satisfied customer To: safetydance From: Machinelf Hey guys, I have a confession to make...I'm addicted. I can't get enough... I go to sleep to trance...I wake up to trance...my commute is only 25 minutes which is not a lot of time to go without music...now I'm gonna rip my room apart to find my old portable CD player!..and you can bet your bootie I'm gonna bring some speakers to work and hook em' up to my computer (until they break down and get me a new computer that comes with speakers like SOME people in the office). Trance is taking over. I've been listening to trance since 1998 (Thanks to Luchino A.C for infecting me with this virus), but I've never been this trance crazy! I have to force myself to listen to the radio (just so I can stay in touch with the rest of the world)...I like other kinds of music hiphop,alt rock,drum and bass/triphop, jungle,jazz,r&b,reggae...but it's not the same! I cought myself physically dancing (not minimal and not full out, but enought to be noticed) to the trance music in my head...at work!...I was having a good day...I thought "Oh my god I've lost it again!" and the other day I was listening to the reggae station and I kept picking out the trancy beats/sounds and dancing to it and I thought "Hey! What's going on! Mhips are not moving right! I'm Jamerican! This is reggae...what's wrong with me!" I even listen to the stuff on the radio and think "Hey, I could actualllike this song! I do like it!"...but still it seems mindless. For me listening to trance is actualllistening...an action that I took for granted. I decided to branch off and go to a non-trance party...a lot of my trance friends were there, nice penthouse, so so sound system, but I was bored out of my mind! I never thought I would EVER be bored...especially with a lot of friends around, and then I realized that there was nothing to listen to. The music was playing, but I couldn't hear it, think it, smell it, taste it... I tasted sound twice. Once I was listening to Miles Davis and when he played this note the juices in the back corners of my mouth squirted somthing citrus and fruity (I can hum the song, but I don't know the name....flamenco sketches maybe. I'll listen to it when I get home and email you the name of the song later...the second time I was at a Synthetic Sadhus party about two years ago...and I don't even remember who was spinning (damn!), but I felt like I was eating a four course meal! I even had the sensation of lemonade! Are there any websites or medical info on tasting sound? Oh yeah, the thought crossed my mind that "Oh, it's the drugs that's doing it.", but I've gone to a lot (more than three or four) of parties sober and it's the same thing...AND I'm not even high right now (I'm still at work)! Trance makes me "stupid happy" (my mushroom is infected) and I'm glad I have someone to write to who understands :) Thanks for listening guys. Oh,... and all you list owners out there...you can post this to the list...just don't put my name or email address on it puhleeze. Long Live Trance!

Within 15 minutes closed eye visuals were pronounced, a feeling of losing physical boundaries was also present. There were no physical sensations other than where the skin may be there was air. The objects in the room danced with life and seemed to rush forward into the air. A definite 3-D effect. Within another five minutes the room was no longer recognizable. Reading was impossible. Geometries were overwhelming and seemed to wash over me with an orgasmic type pleasure. Traveling. It is traveling. New indescribable places were unfolding before my eyes. Everything was vibrant and alive. There was utter peace. An ever shifting play of color never ceased to make the experience boring. Voices can be heard. Music can be heard. Yet there isn't anyone here to speak or play music. A voice asks"Would you like to go deeper?" It was a female voice. Reassuring. As I would think about going deeper the colors would flow over me and bring me to new spaces - each one more bizarre than before. Impossible objects from the past were floating in space. Things like huge HP calculators, Vertibird helicopter toys. Scenes of childhood were evident. No entities. All in all a 5 hour experience." The moral: Throw your consummables out of the refrigerator or donate them to the needy every couple of weeks. "The onset was rapid.

There will be a lot of outdoor parties this year, and I am sure many will be under the east & west bridges and at the spot Coney Island. To kick off the season we will ask the spirit world to help. There will be a small Sunday daytime aya circle session at each location to wash the place of evil spirits, plant some flowers (morning glory?) and flora (acacia grass?) and clean up the areas of trash and detritus from past revelry. There will be no DJs or large sound systems, lots of drums maracas and tambourines, and incense. In these settings we request that only those who will drink should come - and only experienced travellers partake, and great care will be taken to avoid drinking too much. To become experienced you can contact me privately. A $50 donation will go towards DMT equipment. And participation grants you full fledged membership of the DMT.

To: jeff at brainmachines Hey good to see you the other night, hope LOTR was cool. I almost made it down to the Deleware party which is a shame cause it sounded like it would be rocking. I posted an earlier email re: party in the park an idea to get people to have a sunday meetings/picnic/party the feedback was real good so I posted this email already on the omnitribe and machinati lists. Wondering if you could post it on the dmny and safety lists. I'll see ya when I get back. Peace Theo (hope the TIP party rocks) PARTY IN THE PARK Hey peeps. Nice to hear that everyone is as enthusiatic about it as I am. As a result of really great feedback from all you guys, I want to organise the first party in the park for Sunday June 16th.

Coalition More Gardens! Coalition Interns Project Currently in the works: Social Activism - Direct Action Cabo Rojo Encampment close to its 4th month of encampment. Activists trained in civil disobedience are staying at the garden since December, 2001. Spring is here, and we are planting. We're working to create new gardens. Publishing - The More Gardens! Book This Book is a hands-on guide to successful grassroots organizing, paired with the More Gardens! Songbook. The book outlines the history of our movement, and gives an opportunity to learn about the many aspects of this struggle. Among the texts, we find statements chosen from the thousands of personal testimonies provided at the four public hearings, none of which was attended by the mayor of New York. We've been gathering essays on many of the actions and poetry inspired by the movement. Photos and drawings from gardens and streets will further enhance a description of our success. The More Gardens! Book producers are in the process of locating a publisher for this project. We need editors, producer, and designers to help put this book together. Contact persons are: Aresh Javadi and Alecia Rearick Legal - Legislation with environmental lawyers - Writing legislation to make all gardens permanent and create More Gardens! We are working with pro bono lawyers dedicated to the safekeeping and enhancement of the communitgardens. Not-for-profit lawyers from the Puerto Rican Legal and Education Fund and pro bono attorneys from Sullivan and Cromwell are contributing their time and expertise. Urban Design - Housing and Gardens Together We're collaborating with professional landscape designers to create gardens and housing in the wilds of new york city! We are looking for funders who are willing to create buildings with community gardens and telling them not to invest in any plans that involve destroying a garden. Artist and Musicians - Tons of projects in the Community Gardens There are art projects from Giant Puppetry with local folks, to Painting Murals, to Building Giant Turtle Greenhouses, to Dragon-Fly Bikes to Bird shaped straw-bail ovens to songs about gardens to..... Housing can be as cheap as $250 a month in a lower east side, two bedroom apartment! Dedicated, organized and passionate interns, be ready for a most amazing summer! If you are interested in participating in the this project contact Aresh at (917) 518 9987 or (212) 533 8019; E-mail aresh at moregardens.org More Gardens! Coalition What we are about We are gardeners - and students, artists, senior citizens, workers - living in New York City who believe in more gardens! in all urban areas world-wide. Gardens provide for everything: Oxygen Food Recreation Exercise BeautPlaygrounds Education Communit The experience of planting is that of acknowledging our roots and embracing the future. Gardens are truly visionary. Political, obviously; and divine. In 1996, the NYC administration decided to try to sell off and therebdestroy the city's 741 community gardens. In 1999, the auction of 114 of these green oases was prevented by years of well planned grass roots actions, which inspired private land conservation groups to join in and purchase the title of the land. A success, indeed; yet, we need to keep working to secure the remaining 400+ gardens for the future. The More Gardens! Coalition operates from a comprehensive five-pronged plan of action: legislative organizing: judicial actions; outreach and education; fundraising; and direct action. Some examples: * Following on the visit by More Gardens! Members with the attorney general in Albany, his office filed a suit to secure the preliminary injunction of the auction on May 5, 1999. * A federal civil rights suit on behalf of ALL gardens was designed by the More Gardens! outreach and research team and by the pro bono work of the Puerto Rican legal defense and education fund, in filed in early May of that year. * The Outreach and Education team contacts and visits all gardens to inform about recent developments and upcoming events. Currently, we are visiting those gardens included in the land trust which are dormant to provide assistance in their revitalization. In response to frequent invitations, we talk about the issue of community gardens in schools and other institutions, and our Street Theater Collective with puppets brings color and life into the education. *Amazing fundraising celebrations, grant writing and individual donations as well as money from land trust to purchase gardens have been utilized. *Direct Action gets the goods The More Gardens! coalition with puppets have participated in speakouts, public hearings, demonstrations, and several acts of civil disobedience. Over 100 of us have been arrested during spring 1999 and over 30 more since then. We conduct Freedom Workshops on a regular basis to pr pare the participants for the non-violent actions and any legal implications.Cabo Rojo Encampment close to its 4th month of encampment. ..........................................................................

They want to have a party the second or third week in august, and we are looking for DJ's, decorators, visuals, sound system etc. The cost of participation will be free, if people are willing to lend/donate their talents and equipment. The ranch is in a fairly secluded location and they think that it will not be a problem to have a mid size (300 to 500) party. There is electricity so generators will not be an issue. The location is about two hours from the GW bridge by car. Near Windham for those who are familer with upstate NY. It's also accesible by bus plus a $15 cab ride for those with out a car. This is still in the formative stages, but I think that its a really great location for a party. Reasonably easy to get to. Beautiful area. Only about ten miles from store for supplies. If anyone is interested send me an e-mail. Anyone who's organized somthing like this before. I would love to hear from you. Peter P.S.

The area is approximately 2 hours outside of New York City, and 1 1/2 hours outside of Philly. The field itself is extremely isolated, and is miles from anresidential area. There will be a designated area for parking. Directions will follow at the bottom of this page. This place is a gorgeous, pristine oasis of nature in its purest form.

The Dj's and organizers are all very excited and enthusiastic. We hope you can you make it out and be a part of it. - Pat and Neil (The PSI team) DIRECTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: It is vitally important that while travelling to the event location, we do not arouse the suspicion of either the locals or THE MAN. Therefore, a number of precautions must be taken. First, do not "caravan", i.e. do not drive out with a bunch of friends in different cars all in a row. This is especially important when you get close to the event location. A local who sees a several cars lined up with out of state plates may be inclined to alert THE MAN. Secondly, when making the turn off onto the dirt road, MAKE SURE there are NO OTHER cars on the road at that time. Multiple cars seen turning down the same road is certainly grounds for suspicion. Third, do not enter local establishments, e.g. gas stations or convenience stores when you are within 20 miles of the location. Please act wisely and safely, and we can then all enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent. >From New York and all points North: Go through Holland Tunnel, bear left coming out of it. The road will turn into I-78 west. Take I-78 west to the I-95 South/NJ Turnpike South exit. Follow signs for NJ Turnpike South. Take Turnpike South to exit number 7, US-206 (towards "Bordentown/Trenton") and merge onto 206 South. Take 206 South for about 18 miles, enter the traffic circle, and merge onto Route 70 East. Continue along Route 70 East for about 20 miles until you hit the junction for Route 539. You will see a Wawa on one side of the road, and a gas station on the other. DO NOT go into either of these establishments. THE MAN is known to frequent these locations. Bear right onto 539 South. Follow Route 539 for about 5 miles. On the right, you will see a wooden, unlit sign for the "Greenwood Forest". Your next turn will be the 2nd RIGHT after the Greenwood Forest sign, about 1.4 miles after the sign. It is a small dirt road and may be difficult to see. However, please try to drive at a normal speed if there are other cars on the road so as not to arouse suspicion. Turn right onto the road and proceed about 1/2 a mile and make your first right. BE CAREFUL. This road is somewhat sandy, so please handle with care. Remember to keep your speed up when going uphill to avoid getting stuck. Go about a 1/4 of a mile down this road and make your first left onto a smaller trail-like road. We will have some sort of marker in place at this turnoff. BE CAREFUL, there is a dip in the left section of the road, so take it slow. There is also more sand at the end of the path, so you mahave to keep your speed slightly up. Continue along this path briefly, and bear left at the end to go into the parking lot. If lot is full, please drive onto the field and park at the top. Please do not drive down the hill on the field. Directions from Philadelphia and all points South: Take the Ben Franklin Bridge (I-676 East) into New Jersey and follow signs for Route 70 East (CherrHill). You will eventually bear left and merge onto 70 East. Go approximately 40 miles on 70 East until you get to the Junction with Route 539. You will see a Wawa on one side of the road, and a gas station on the other. DO NOT go into either of these establishments. THE MAN is known to frequent these locations. Bear right onto 539 South. Follow Route 539 for about 5 miles. On the right, you will see a wooden, unlit sign for the "Greenwood Forest". Your next turn will be the 2nd RIGHT after the Greenwood Forest sign, about 1.4 miles after the sign. It is a small dirt road and may be difficult to see.

To everyone who brought lighting, equipment, refreshments, and so many other things that contributed to the positive atmosphere: THANK YOU! To all the dj's, organizers, dancers, and everyone who helped out: THANK YOU! To everyone who couldn't make it out: We'll see at our next party! A special thanks goes out to our close friend Josh, who was injured in a bicycle accident the day of the party and was unable to make it out. Josh was integral to the planning stages of this event, and, among many other things, designed and printed the flyer. We wish you a speedy recovery! Thank you to Theo and Sam (Merlin and Dharmaz Reptile, respectively) who not only came out and spun a wicked tag team set, but also helped us set up the sound system, and helped clean up and move out in the morning. Thanks to our friend Ian, without whom we could not have had this party. Ian lent us two of his speakers, and let us use his van for transporting equipment. Thanks to Ben and Boris, et. al., for bringing out some serious black lights which definately took the party to another level. Thanks to Rocky for the awesome video projections. Thanks to our friend Nicole, who helped drive out some people for us after Josh went down. Thanks to everyone who gave us donations at the end (unsolicited no less!). And finally, thanks to everyone who stayed and kept dancing through the rain all the way to the end! We sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The 2nd Trip is already in the planning stages. We're bringing you more sound, more dj's, more music, more lighting, more visuals, more everything!!! Stay tuned and stay psychedelic, - Pat and Neil (The PSI Team) P.S.(I.?) Have a friend who'd be interested in our future events? Tell him or her to send us an email at sunshinegoa3 to get on our mailing list. Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 18:55:31 To: SafetyDance Subject: Synthetic Shamans outdoor Friday July 19 From: "ismokedmt" The next ayahuasca ceremony will be in the woods in Westchester at sunset. It's a beautiful and isolated spot. Last time we did it in the day and there was no one there. We'll leave at 6pm from Grand Central, get there around 7:30pm, hike in and partake by 8:00.m., build a fire and be out there by 3am. Several people have said that $100 is too much in this economy, so the new amount is $75 for safetydance members - but you will be responsible for your roundtrip train ticket (~$10) and no free light meal served afterwards. Lower rates for DMT members - inquire. Please RSVP to me if you are interested in taking this journey. Space is limited this time to ten people. And the next day we can go to Synthetic Sadhus! Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 19:06:14 To: SafetyDance Subject: DIY Euro-style From: "ismokedmt" http://www.xs4all.nl/~nota/ https://tranceam.org/brainmachines /war.html Do It Yo urself Ritual Since the arrival of ayahuasca in Europe, some people were m ore interested in the effects of the brew than in the various types of ri tuals in whichthe brew was served. Many modern Europeans are allergic to christianity and can't stand the christian atmosphere that is so essentia l in a Santo Daime ritual. This allergy was one of the reasons Friends of the Forest started with a different type of ritual. Quite a few particip ants think also the Friends of the Forest rituals are not their cup of te a, because these rituals are a mixture of Santo Daime and Osho belief sys tems. Until recently it was hard to find ayahuasca in a more recreational context, because no one except the above mentioned had access to the bre w or to the plant sources. Recently quite a lot of ayahausca ingredients became available to the European market, and this opportunity was the sta rting point of a new type of ritual, which might be nicknamed as the 'No Ritual Ritual' or the 'DIY Ritual' (Do It Yourself Ritual). In this moder n ritual an experienced ayahuasca drinker, or somebody otherwise experien ced in the effects of DMT or similar substances, acts as a guide for the participants. Most participants like the idea of somebody leading the ses sion, since the effects of ayahuasca can become quite overwhelming and ar e sometimes unpredictable.In a typical 'DIY ritual' there is no dressing code and no rules regarding sexual behavior. Participants are asked not t o eat any substances thatmight interfere with the MAO inhibiting effect o f the brew several hours before the rituals starts. Otherwise participants are free to do what they want, since they are responsible for themselves . In rituals I guide myself I ask the participants not to talk to other p eople. Any sound might distract people, take them out of the trip into mu ndane reality. I serve a glass of ayahuasca every hour, until the effects are on a desirable level. For most participants two or sometimes three g lasses are enough. In my rituals I try to mimic a natural surrounding. I play recordings of natural soundscapes, combined with recordings of indige nous tribes and medecinemen from South America, Africa and Asia. I also p lay trip music like 'A Test-Hommage E0 Albert' and the like. In cases where people need help, I use my experiences as a guide in other rituals, and I use a bundle of chacapa leaves to dust down the problematic period. Most important is my knowledge that until now everybody came down from a n ayahuasca trip. Essential for these kind of rituals is a certain select ion beforehand. Psychedelics are not for everybody and for some people a mystical medicine like ayahuasca sounds like the panacea they have been l ooking for so long. Beware of the lunatic fringe!

I may be kicking myself in the ass but I think being able to see the floor is starting to become a concern for me. And I worry how much damage the cats can cause in 3 days. Considering what they do after I leave for work, I wonder if I'll have a place to come back to. Everybody, be safe, take pix, get a video or somthing, I'd like to see what I'm missing. If anyone is selling any of those black light tapistries, or know of anyone who is or who makes them, let me know or send an address or phone #.

Abbott" I am usually a positive person. I try very hard to see the good in everythi ng but I just got back from my weekend at Fill your Head with Phantasm and it was HANDS DOWN the WORST party I have ever been to. I came to the Goa/Ps y trance scene from the rave scene. I left the rave scene because I was tir ed of feeling like I was being swindled evertime I went to a party. Tranc e parties have never made me feel that way, until this weekend. I was concerned to begin with when not even 24 hours before the partstarted, t he venue was changed but I figured all was well and if it wasn't I would ju st go camping with my girlfriend for the weekend. I got to the party at abo ut 10:30 Friday night. Relieved there was actually a party going on and we had found it, my girlfriend and I quickly forked over $120 each to the peop le at the entrance. Once the money was taken, they told us that neither coo lers nor water were allowed inside. Thetold us that the no coolers rule w as on the flyer (as I look at the flyer now, I realize that was a blatant l ie.) Having packed enough food for 5 days, I was livid and also did not ha ve much cash on me. Since there was no way I was leaving after a four-hour drive, I agreed to let them hold onto my cooler and proceeded to a nearby s tore to get some extra cash out. Later that night, Jeff informed me that th ey were giving the coolers back and I had to talk to a person named Ricky. I talked to Ricky 3 seperate times and he kept telling me to come back late r. Finally, after pleading with him and agreeing to hide the cooler in mc ar and carry the food in a book bag so it would not insight other people to demand their coolers back, I was able to get my food (of course I had spen t at least 20 bucks on food before getting my cooler back). Had this been t he only surprise of the weekend, I would have just grumbled to myself and w ent on about my merry way. As the weekend progressed, many other shortcomin gs became apparent. There was supposed to be a waterfall tour nearby. There was none. There were supposed to be toilet and shower facilities. There we re 2 Port-a-potties and a sink which was often out of water. I will say the sound system was good but had to be kept at a low volume because the polic e kept showing up. There were many other things promised that appeared to b e missing such as a meditation and massage area but I think I have made eno ugh of a point. Some may say I hold a grudge too long and others may say I am over reacting to the situation, but I feel that the no outside foo d shit and the subsequent shadyness associated with getting the food back I RREPERABLY DESTROYED the vibe of the party so although it seemed that the p eople running the party were being pleasant and trying to make things right , the damage was done. I will NEVER again attend an event put on by Phantas m and will avoid purchasing their records whenever possible.

I also came from the rave scene, although from a lot longer. I met Jeff a little over 2 years ago and went to a bridge party, which reminded me of the way things were when I began getting involved with the techno scene. I'd have to go through some of my e-mail back-ups, but I also remember Jeff going off on the people at House of Trance because of the lousy way they set up a party, the way they basically collected cash and gave everyone a minimal effort. I didn't check the flyer to see if House of Trance was involved in this catastrophe, but it kinda stinks of the same thing. Kinda like the phrase history repeats itself. crap like this is and commercialization is what killed the rave scene, along with national media. big events are fine, but if you're gonna have them, deliver somthing. 3 day event and you can't bring food?! what kinda horseshit is that? Moving the venue a few hours before the event? Toilet facilities I hear were next to non-existent. Is this the 1st time these people have done anything like this? If so, who were they getting advice from? Sound system was good but the cops kept showing up? Where were you, in someones back yard? Very disappointing to hear.

((there was a little joke, when the state police shut the party down:: yoni is the promoter of this party, lock him up!! he's been VERY bad!)) thankfully there ARE people out there that are ready to fuck the bullshit and throw their own events. the only thing that saved the music was space cat's set + dj set. which was really really good, only because it was juxed next to a medicore music. i was only too happy to see him set up his G4... i have so many really fond memories of seeing him with deedrah, and space tribe (oct.27 2001) i know where my party is... it's in greece (samathakri).. i just cant get there :( 45 live acts + 60 djs over 4 days mindgasm. :) Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 15:13:23 Subject: about outdoor events large and small To: synaptalancer Cc: dragontribe, safetydance, omnitribe From: Machinelf In a message dated 7/29/02 12:28:14 PM Time, synaptalancer writes: > i feel the need > to now steer clear of the larger events. well, goes without saying that there are many smaller free outdoor parties that rarely get over 100 people.. burning elf, omnitribe, dmt, alphatrance, wylie's trance mission.

Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 10:38:10 Subject: OggMod's Rant about scenes To: safetydance From: oggmod13 Well, since everyone is in a retrospective mood, here goes: I came from a few scenes first, A Rock to Metal METAL METAL, Grunge to Goth, Industrial to Noise, and on the list goes. I always wanted when I was a kid music that was, in my personal definition, Post Nuclear holocaust industrial machine out of control misfiring engine computer generated virus like NOISE Trance. Now that I have found it, I am very willing and TOTALLY FUCKING SERIOUS when I say "Now that I have found my love, I will do all I can to protect her". My first trance party was New Years 2000-2001. I am a late comer I guess, missed the rave scene totally. Although I floated throughout various musical genres, I always needed the rush that Metal delivered as a matter of course. Trance is amazing, and the people are what really blew me away. I was raised around Authority, and as soon as I really got to learn about the scene from first hand observation, I realised that this is the most peaceful scene around, and I love that aspect most of all cause I am bored totally of violence, aside from some wacky dance steps. It makes me sad to see scuzzbags sliming up the scene (Gelcaps at Omnitribe, Upstate Fiascos, etc), and I want to be a part of the Real Trance Scene, not the proto commercialised, open for the taking, unfocused and cranky NegaTrance scene as of late. Use these e mail lists for creating and organizing parties, get togethers, etc. Scout for Locations, call yer local park police and ask about permits.

Please everyone, dont let this shit happen again, personally I am thinking that this was a truly criminal offense and I really believe that someone should A) refund a LOT of money to people, and B) have charges of fraud or whatever scamming is called. Did I not read that Home of Trance was involved???? Are you all sleeping or what?? I would never stand for somebody ripping me off that bad, I CANNOT AFFORD TO!!!!!! I am rather broke in recent weeks, so I count all my change before leaving the store. Lets see, 200 bucks times 200 is what, 40,000, or is my math off. What does it cost to rent a space for an indoor party? What does it cost to reserve part of some state park like in New Jersey the past weekend? Frankly, you people are absolutely nuts and Filthy RICH if yer throwing away cash like that!!!! Did you leave a TIP???? I know that not everyone went, but may I ask, did anyone stomp the shit out of the guy taking the cash? No? Right, its cause I did not go, man, I am proud of my attitude problem and my aggressive side, it protects me from obvious scams like that. The cops would have been called there much sooner because I love the Robin Hood tale, and I would love to have broken that crime ring to pieces. Did anyone get their license plates?? I am sorry for all that went, and I ask that we all do what we can to prevent outsiders ripping off the peaceful Digi-Hipi scene that we all love so much, WATER SHOULD BE FREE AND SO SHOULD WE FROM FASCIST VIOLENCE AND TERRORIST CAPITOLISTS. Ok, I shut up now. T. OggMod Well, since everyone is in a retrospective mood, here goes: I came from a few scenes first, A Rock to Metal METAL METAL, Grunge to Goth, Industrial to Noise, and on the list goes. I always wanted when I was a kid music that was, in my personal definition, Post Nuclear holocaust industrial machine out of control misfiring engine computer generated virus like NOISE Trance. Now that I have found it, I am very willing and TOTALLY FUCKING SERIOUS when I say "Now that I have found my love, I will do all I can to protect her". My first trance party was New Years 2000-2001. I am a late comer I guess, missed the rave scene totally. Although I floated throughout various musical genres, I always needed the rush that Metal delivered as a matter of course. Trance is amazing, and the people are what really blew me away. I was raised around Authority, and as soon as I really got to learn about the scene from first hand observation, I realised that this is the most peaceful scene around, and I love that aspect most of all cause I am bored totally of violence, aside from some wacky dance steps. It makes me sad to see scuzzbags sliming up the scene (Gelcaps at Omnitribe, Upstate Fiascos, etc), and I want to be a part of the Real Trance Scene, not the proto commercialised, open for the taking, unfocused and cranky NegaTrance scene as of late. Use these e mail lists for creating and organizing parties, get togethers, etc. Scout for Locations, call yer local park police and ask about permits.

"Hey jeff and everybody else. I know you received an explanation letter from John Ford and i'll like to tell you also my point of view. First of all i Eli-take full responsibility for every thing that happened over the last weekend.I was the one that organized this party as Global Trance Production launching Phantasm Records.Phantasm Records and its artists:John Phantasm,Dick Trevor,Dj Junya and all the rest are not the ones to blame,these artists came free to perform and make this party fun and joyable.they did not have anything to do with the production (they came a day before the party to the USA and were not part of all this fuck up)If there is anybody to boycott its me as a promoter and my production.Phantasm Records and its artists has been and is still known in the last 10 years as one of the most honest labels and one of the label that always was a joy to people to go to their parties.it will be no fair to any of these artists and this label to be held for blame,as i said before i did all the arrangement for this party and its only me to be blamed. About all the explanation for this shame party i think John Ford told you all the things that was wrong in this event and i wish they didn't happened but they did.i wish to apologize to anybody that got hurt or disappointed, that definitely was not the meaning from the beginning,the whole idea was to make somthing that not really happening over here and its to have an outdoor event like i did in the past.i did everything i could to make it better including fighting with however was there. i risked myself in being arrested at list 2 times,i did not make this party from the beginning in order to make money from it,it was known that there would be no money made from the beginning.in fact i spent my own money on this party with no return.All of the other things and explanation i think you got all the figures and story in John's letter so there is no point for me to repeat it all again. My wish is only to make sure that there is really nobody to boycott and blame but me.i felt the vibe already in the start of the party and that's why i tried to make it better including giving the cds at the party to the people(over 200 Phantasm Records latest cd releases on my expenses,any thing i managed to take from the van where they put the things that they took from the people,like water and some other things) i did not know that this shame thing would happen. it was not supposed to be and when i saw it happen i fought with these people and flipped myself.i was going all this weekend between the people and apologizing in my name and in my fuck up.it is really not fair to blame any body but me including the Home Of Trance that was only trying to make a nice energy for this party and celebrate with the people and definitely not Phantasm Records and its artists that most of them came here to play and have fun and definitely not to make any money. they were playing for no fee at all.there was no intension to scam anybody and as you know this production was not cheap and there is no way to make money with 250 people that are paying for that. I ask you to post this letter to everybody that you know and was in this party.i will do anything i can to make up for these great people that were only supporting to us and wanted to have fun.I thank everybody and am willing to speak to who ever wants to talk to me and like more explanation for this wrong weekend. Thanks again. Eli.

The area is approximately 2 hours outside of New York City, and 1 1/2 hours outside o f Philly. The field itself is extremely isolated, and is miles from any re sidential area. There will be a designated area for parking. Directions wi ll follow at the bottom of this page. This place is a gorgeous, pristine o asis of nature in its purest form. We must respect the land and LEAVE NO T RACE. Please take care of all personal items/trash etc. Because of recent forest fires in the Pine Barrens, we ask that no fires be permitted. Bring : Water, food, blankets, tents/camping gear,flashlights, good vibes, incen se, tapestries, friends, black lights, strobe lights, other visuals, herba l refreshments... etc. IMPORTANT NOTE: This gathering IS NOT rain or shine . Unfortunately, heavy rain may render the field temporarily inaccessabl e due to mud. In the event of inclement weather, we will postpone the part y and send a mass email the day of the event or sooner. (To get on the PSI mailing list, please send a message toSunshinegoa3 ). DIRECTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: It is vitally important that while travelling to the event location, we do not arouse the suspicion of either the locals or THE MAN. Therefore, a number of precautions must be taken. First, do not "caravan", i.e. do not drive out with a bunch of friends in different cars all in a row. This is especially important when you get close to the event location . A local who sees a several cars lined up with out of state plates may be inclined to alert THE MAN. Secondly, when making the turn off onto the di rt road, MAKE SURE there are NO OTHER cars on the road at that time. Multi ple cars seen turning down the same road is certainly grounds for suspicio n. Third, do not enter local establishments, e.g. gas stations or convenience sto res when you are within 20 miles of the location. Please act wisely and saf ely, and we can then all enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent. >From New ork and all points North: Go through Holland Tunnel, bear left coming out o f it. The road will turn into I-78 west. Take I-78 west to the I-95 South/ NJ Turnpike South exit. Follow signs for NJ Turnpike South. Take Turnpike South to exit number 7, US-206 (towards "Bordentown/Trenton") and merge on to 206 South. Take 206 South for about 18 miles, enter the traffic circle, and merge onto Route 70 East. Continue along Route 70 East for about 20 m iles until you hit the junction for Route 539. You will see a Wawa on one side of the road, and a gas station on the other. DO NOT go into either of these establishments. THE MAN is known to frequent these locations. Bear right onto 539 South. Follow Route 539 for about 5 miles. On the right, yo u will see a wooden, unlit sign for the "Greenwood Forest". Your next turn will be the 2nd RIGHT after the Greenwood Forest sign, about 1.4 miles af ter the sign. It is a small dirt road and may be difficult to see. However , please try to drive at a normal speed if there are other cars on the roa d so as not to arouse suspicion. Turn right onto the road and proceed abo ut 1/2 a mile and make your first right. BE CAREFUL. This road is somewhat sandy, so please handle with care. Remember to keep your speed up when go ing uphill to avoid getting stuck. Go about a 1/4 of a mile down this road and make your first left onto a smaller trail-like road. We will have som e sort of marker in place at this turnoff. BE CAREFUL, there is a dip in th e left section of the road, so take it slow. There is also more sand at th e end of the path, so you may have to keep your speed slightly up. Continu e along this path briefly, and bear left at the end to go into the parking lot. If lot is full, please drive onto the field and park at the top. Plea se do not drive down the hill on the field.

Because the mission and purpose of the Four Quarters InterFaith Sanctuary is to support all forms ofspiritualit that honor the natural world and cosmos, we have found a home that we are sure will become the future reference point for the Trance Dance Experienc e.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great reminders that the bleak da ys of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their se asons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym req uire that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our anc estors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving f low of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e t o fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little o nes are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summe rland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual an d celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps th e m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greate r than him or herself. We would say that in these moments of ecstasy we ac tually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e bri ghter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associate d with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivit ies. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants yo u wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, dec orative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Al tar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream sto nes gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 12 - Saturday - International Global Dance Party for Peace... sponsored by Ea rthDance Org...

He says he dries their st ingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery ven- and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. "Oh yes," he said when asked if the scorpio ns make him high. "When I smoke scorpion, then the H is like nothing to me." The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or sho ot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions . It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of t-bstones and corpse-siz ed 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 r ing out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a bui lding, 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 cr iminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan's parch ed Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemete in an even less salubrious den. Theyry, 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 drugs 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 the ir drug money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the pol ice come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Paki stani junkies hide away huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their h eads, in an open gutter.

The area is approximately 2 hours outside of New York City, and 1 1 /2 hours outside of Philly. The field itself is extremely isolated, an d is miles from any residential area. There will be a designated area for p arking. Directions will follow at the bottom of this page. This place i s a gorgeous, pristine oasis of nature in its purest form. We must respect the land and LEAVE NO TRACE. Please take care of all personal items/trash e tc. Because of recent forest fires in the Pine Barrens, we ask that no fires be permitted. Bring: Water, food, blankets, tents/camping gear,flashlights, good vibes, incense, tapestries, friends, black lights, s trobe lights, other visuals, herbal refreshments... etc. IMPORTANT NOT E: This gathering IS NOT rain or shine. Unfortunately, heavy ra in may render the field temporarily inaccessable due to mud. In the event o f inclement weather, we will postpone the party and send a mass email t he day of the event or sooner. (To get on the PSI mailing list, please send a message toSunshinegoa3 ). DIRECTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: It is vitally important that while travelling to the event location, we do no t arouse the suspicion of either the locals or THE MAN. Therefore, a number of precautions must be taken. First, do not "caravan", i.e. do not drive o ut with a bunch of friends in different cars all in a row. This is especial ly important when you get close to the event location. A local who sees a s everal cars lined up with out of state plates may be inclined to alert THE MAN. Secondly, when making the turn off onto the dirt road, MAKE SURE there are NO OTHER cars on the road at that time. Multiple cars seen turning dow n the same road is certainly grounds for suspicion. Third, do not enter loc al establish ments, e.g. gas stations or convenience stores when you are within 2 0 miles of the location. Please act wisely and safely, and we can then all enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent. >From New York and all points North: Go through Holland Tunnel, bear left coming out of it. The road will turn into I-78 west. Take I-78 west to the I-95 South/NJ Turnpike Sou th exit. Follow signs for NJ Turnpike South. Take Turnpike South to exit nu mber 7, US-206 (towards "Bordentown/Trenton") and merge onto 206 South. Tak e 206 South for about 18 miles, enter the traffic circle, and merge onto Ro ute 70 East. Continue along Route 70 East for about 20 miles until you hit the junction for Route 539. You will see a Wawa on one side of the road, an d a gas station on the other. DO NOT go into either of these establishments . THE MAN is known to frequent these locations. Bear right onto 539 South. Follow Route 539 for about 5 miles. On the right, you will see a wooden, un lit sign for the "Greenwood Forest". Your next turn will be the 2nd RIGHT a fter the Greenwood Forest sign, about 1.4 miles after the sign. It is a sma ll dirt road and may be difficult to see. However, please try to drive at a normal speed if there are other cars on the road so as not to arouse suspi cion. Turn right onto the road and proceed about 1/2 a mile and make your first right. BE CAREFUL. This road is somewhat sandy, so please handle with care. Remember to keep your speed up when going uphill to avoid getti ng stuck. Go about a 1/4 of a mile down this road and make your first l eft onto a smaller trail-like road. We will have some sort of marker in place at this turnoff. BE CAREFUL, there is a dip in the left section of t he road, so take it slow. There is also more sand at the end of the pat h, so you may have to keep your speed slightly up. Continue along this path briefly, and bear left at the end to go into the parking lot. If lot is fu ll, please drive onto the field and park at the top. Please do not driv e down the hill on the field.

More disdained than criminal ized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan's parched Balu chistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemete in an even less salubrious den. Theyry, 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 o f drugs after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal fo r their drug 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 P akistani junkies hide away huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

Want to get into the makeup party? To: safetydance Cc: dragontribe From: Machinelf So people, if you went to the Phantasm event, the organizer is trying to make amends and throw a "Kiss Ass" party... so send an email to phantasmmakeup-subscribe to get on the list created to facilitate this process. Your email addresses will go to Ely and maybe John Phantasm so they will know who showed up. If I don't recognize your email address I will ask you questions to check, or just explain who you are thanks. Say what you will, at least they are trying to make amends. I want to personlly ask everyone to let bygones be bygones. Feel free to forward this out to anyone you know who went - and also to email me their addresses so I can manually add them on. DJs - contact them!!! Finally, I have no details on when/where/how much it will be, or if it will be free. Hopefully it will be free for those who were there, and will not double book another party. I'm just passing on info to try to make everyone happy and be meddlesome. PS I will dress up as Pink from The Wall and have my boys take your drugs at the door and I will sell them back to you! "Who let all this riff raff into the room" :-) DISCLAIMER: Trance people do not do drugs, the last sentence was intended as humor. Finally, i must say i was in such a state saturday morning that for 5 minutes there was around my field of vision a cyborg looking cockpit/menu, and i could alter the appearance of anyone i looked at, like in photoshop. Then when it came time to get back into my body i put it on glovelike backwards, and could feel my heels in my face then everything was backwards, when i looked at my back of my hand i saw my palm, etc etc. of what a morning that was. >Hey Jeff. this is eli,i really need a list of all the people that you know that was in the party,im booking a place for the kiss ass party and i realy need it fast .i would like to come with a flyer fast so pleas work with me on that. thanks again for all you done for us.

Read in yesterday's Daily News, text below. I'm pretty sure this is the place we were at last weekend - how many rest areas are there off the Bely Parkway in Sheepshead Bay? It was such a wonderful place! Still can be used for daylong events but for sure there will be at least one patrol after dark for a while. Thus goes the only spot that had never been busted. So I am compiling a database of good spots and will share them with psy-trance organizers such as Omnitribe, PSI, Wylie, and the DMT. This should have been done a long time ago. If anyone is interested in this directory email me OFFLINE and it would help if you have locations to share. Oh yeah - the Omnitribe party at the rest area was amazing - and dry! Best location ever! Too bad it's the last nocturnal emission for trance or anything else at that spot. Crackdown at rest stop Crime cited in Plum Beach night closure By ELIZABETH HAYS DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER State Sen. Carl Kruger is behind overnight closure that begins today at Plum Beach rest stop. In an effort to crack down on an alleged prostitution hot spot in Sheepshead Bay, a rest stop and beach off the Belt Parkway will be closed overnight beginning today.Officials from the city Parks Department and the National Park Service, which share joint jurisdiction at the stop, said the move was made after community groups and elected officials complained of increased prostitution at the Plum Beach rest area, between Knapp St. and Flatbush Ave.Outraged community advocates said that at night, after beachgoers and other rest stop users left for the day, cars flocked to the rest area parking lot, which they say had become a prostitution zone."From dusk to dawn this had become a no-man's land," said state Sen. Carl Kruger (D-Sheepshead Bay) yesterday, gesturing to the rest stop's small parking lot and beach area, which offers a spectacular view of the Rockaway Inlet. "We want to create a safe, descent place for our community."In June, a 55-year-old Starrett City man was found dead next to his car on the Belt Parkway, east of the rest area. Cops said the man was knifed in a dispute while visiting the area."It moved from the proverbial lovers lane to a really bad, nasty scene," said Kruger, adding that the remote spot has long been a favorite with couples. "The sense was the only way we're going to reclaim this area is with a curfew. So we're closing the place down."Park officials said that beginning tonight, the rest stop's parking lot and beach area will be closed daily from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Previously, the rest area was open around the clock.In preparation for the new hours, park workers installed new signs and movable barricades yesterday at the rest stop entrance off the Belt Parkway."It really is our goal to make this a better park area," said Brian Feeney, a spokesman for the National Park Service, which runs the Gateway National Recreation Area, including Plum Beach.Federal Park Police and New York City cops will step up patrols of the area to enforce the closing, officials said, and violators will be issued summonses.Plum Beach regulars cheered the crackdown, saying it will help clean up the garbage-strewn area and encourage more families to enjoy the often-overlooked beach."I'm very happy," said Mohamed Moharam, 52, a merchant who has operated a concession truck at the rest area for almost a decade.Moharam said that the alleged nighttime exploits in the parking lot left the area dirty and off-putting for daytime beachgoers."I think it's a very good idea," he said. http://www.nydailynews /boroughs/story/9187p-8642c.html The Sheepshead Bay Rest Area & Beach now has a curfew from 9pm-6am.

Secondly, when making the turn off onto the dirt road, MAKE SURE there are NO OTHER cars on the road at that time. Multiple cars seen turning down the same road is certainly grounds for su spicion. Third, do not enter local establishments, e.g. gas stations or convenienc e stores when you are within 20 miles of the location.

We were fortunate to have Pat and Neil and company organize the second Pine Barrens open air. The party was great, awesome DJs, beautiful weather and scenery. Iced chai, blueberries, gummy worms, you name it, the Philadelphia Shamanista Initiative took care of us! Lost: skull in a test tube. If found email Machinelf I thought we got lucky, but Lady Luck proved to be hooker and we ran out of cash. After the party we got stuck for 6 hours and ten of us went in two cars to the beach in Seaside Heights, where I fell asleep. When I awoke we were surrounded by beach cops. It seems that Jonathan was running around naked. The police arrested Jonathan, found some things, and went through Jacob's bag against his wishes and found some other things, so they got Jacob too. They let the rest of us go. Jonathan's car is still at the beach, I have Jacob's other bag and radio. If anyone has contact info for Jonathan Payer or Jacob AKA Rick please let us know. We have no money for bail and were quite guilty ourselves so we had to leave them. It's possible that Jacob may be facing serious charges.

He is incommunicado. Rick Roger (Jacob)'s bail is $10,000; $1,000 with a bail bondsman if there is collateral such as a house. There are multiple witnesses that his backpack were searched against his will - he refused multiple times - and they opened it saying that was probable cause. Jacob IMHO should get off eventually, but it will be a looooong process so we have to be commited to being there for the long haul. Jonathan is in general Ocean County Jail both are facing CDS Controlled Dangerous Substance - Jonathan for 1.5g shrooms i think, Jacob has multiple charges. Both are first time offenders I believe. T1560 is Jonathan's prisoner ID In cell block North C Jonathan's bail is ~$3,250; 10% of that through a bondsman if someone can collateral their house. Jonathan said that someone can go down to Ocean County jail and retrieve his keys to the car so that Jacob's phone numbers can be gotten and his contacts be called to organize his defense. He has to fill out a property release in order for us to pick up his keys. Jonathan at least is set to see a judge on Thursday. to help send email to freejacob-subscribe Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:23:50 Subject: want to help do a bridge party this saturday day?

In terms of dance energy, Israeli Independence Day is an all nighter. As in, people normally dance all night, and if they are at a trance party you can imagine how that extends the hours. As I have never heard of a Hanukah trance party that actually happened, I made a Gentile assumption that if the Israliens are organizing somthing for Rosh Hashanah (actually Sept 7) on the level that Joker is doing, for this then it must be second only to Israeli Independence Day. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are bookends to the ten Days of Awe, kind of like the first day of Christmas and the 12th day. The fact that this party is happening in the middle should connote that there won't be a lot of orthodox in attendance. Who knows. I guess you'll have to come to find out. The name "Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement," and that pretty much explains what the holiday is. It is a day set aside to "afflict the soul," to atone for the sins of the past year. In Days of Awe, I mentioned the "books" in which G-d inscribes all of our names. On Yom Kippur, the judgment entered in these books is sealed. This day is, essentially, your last appeal, your last chance to change the judgment, to demonstrate your repentance and make amends.' sorry for all the emails whew -from the lost WASP wandering the desert of ignorance and withdrawal from A.

As an established figure on the German trance scene from its beginnings, DJ Sangeet has witnessed all stages of musical evolution throughout the techno and trance eras. Being an active producer parallel to his deejaying career, Sangeet's productions (aka 'Earth' and 'Defolder') have always incorporated popular mannerisms and techniques with his personal vision of dance floor rhythmics. 'DJ Sangeet' shifts between trance scapes, psychedelic riffs and clubby techno structures, transporting the listener into a delirious space of timeless suspense. Compatible on many levels, 'DJ Sangeet' maintains a persistent course through various dance floor atmospheres. Capturing the essence of percussive grooves encapsulated by alternating trance sections and building breaks, the crisp production character contributes to the effortless feel of 'DJ Sangeet'. With an electro break beat interlude ('Astrobar') and ambient outro (Gaensehaut), the artist reveals some of DJ Sangeet's other listening preferences, with an interesting approach as in all his music. Ranging from gripping energy bursts to lofty melodic trance passages, 'DJ Sangeet' summarises many classic party sensations. In a once again timely and modern interpretation produced by an artist, whose varying musical interests have given him a larger outlook, which 'DJ Sangeet' accommodates in an expertly adapted form. } Subject: multus luna: up-state NY partTo: omnitribe, SafetyDance, psy-trance at dewline, DRAGONTRIBE, goa-boston From: omni tribe Hello everyone, The party on the 6th is coming nicely.

Subject: thanks to all involved; review for the rest; To: omnitribe, SafetyDance, psy-trance at dewline, DRAGONTRIBE, goa-boston From: omni tribe Just living and enjoying, we came to this party in the woods of New York. Preparations and installations were part of the trip as party never starts and never ends. By midnight on Friday night the party was gaining some weight as more and more people were coming. Sound was too clean, deco was better then ever. It was building slowly, but had to go to ambient mode around 3:30am as cops forced us to lower the volume. Many more people arrived; lucky them, it was free entrance from lower point. Going forward, must say, donation box was not popular at all. 6:30AM. Here it comes. Kolbasa. Just as you like it... from there it was high fly... On landing, barbeque was offered at dinner time. Music stopped for a double couple hours only on Sundalate night, but was lifted up at the early breakfast time. (going back, must say, we had to move the speakers around a couple times, just to find the corridor for the sound to travel away from disturbed ears of distant neighbors; on Saturday night we lowered the sound considerably) So it was there, vibe was softly strong and happy. Some people were camping; some were lucky to occupone of 8 small houses with shower and kitchen (same low price). All night fire under overfilled with stars skies; meteor shower for those who like to stare; a little cold, but bearable nights and perfect days; small pool at the dance floor; beautiful lake 2 min drive; pstrance music of no limits and all styles... we'll be back...

Featuring Goa Gil. Gil grew up in the middle of the San Francisco psychedelic music scene of the sixties. In 1969 he left for India where he began intense Yogic practices and became an initiated Sadhu. Gil helped give birth to the psychedelic trance movement in Goa, India in the early '80s and continues to distribute this energy to dancers across the world today. We welcome him back to the NW. "Since the beginning of time, humankind has used music and dance to commune with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe... We are trying to use Trance Music and the Trance Dance Experience to set off a chain reaction in Consciousness... Through the Trance Dance Experience hopefully people will become more sensitive and aware of themselves, their surroundings, the crossroads of humanity, and the needs of the planet... With this Awareness comes Understanding and Compassion. THAT is the need of the hour, and the true Goa State of Mind!!!" - Goa Gil Be prepared - bring what you need... and pack it out after.

Its publication drew loud and immediate reaction from the British press, which printed stories under headlines like "Ecstasy Not Dangerous, Say Scientists." The study's authors demanded, and received, a retraction from at least one newspaper (the Guardian); but the question the researchers had hoped to raise -- whether E may have medical benefits -- was lost in the din. And not for the first time, according to Dr. Charles Grob, a longtime researcher of E and hallucinogenic drugs and one of the study's three authors. Grob, the head of adolescent and child psychiatry at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Southern California, is also the editor of a newly published collection of essays, "Hallucinogens: A Reader," which explores the social and psychological worth of such drugs. Speaking from his office, Grob spoke about the essay he coauthored, the current war on drugs, and the history of Ecstasy, which he believes has therapeutic benefit -- not to mention potential as a facilitator of peace in the Middle East. -- ..........................................................................

I'm entitled) unknown shrooms had some cool stuff playing on the monitor's at pyramid on the 18th...

A new poll has been created for the SafetyDance group: These have been slow days for the free LOCAL outdoor psy-trance event. There's been a variety of great open air events in south Jersey and upstate NY. But only the south jersey one was truly underground, as in, they were paranoid about too many people finding out, and it was free. In the absence of LOCAL outdoor underground psy-trance events, would you like to see more outdoor underground TECHNO events on Safetydance? I'm talking Blakkat and Renegade Virus and Havok here. o Yes, more techno for now if there's no psy-trance events o Yes, techno even when there's more psy-trance events in the future o No, keep it just psy-trance o No, I get that info elsewhere To vote, please visit the following web page: http://groups.yahoo /group/SafetyDance/surveys?id10923748 Note: Please do not reply to this message.

Wiley is out of the party business, Omnitribe is focusing on legal venues, Subtlechaos has no system, and Alphatrance is no longer in commission. Somthing must be done. The economy ain't getting no better, and I miss seeing all the po' people. They're usually more interesting. I'm one of them, but I get in free for promotional activity. As for the DMT and the outdoor spirit trances, most of you remember last year's arrest and forfeiture of all my possessions that enabled the NYPD to take the DMT sound system. (And the generator was stolen a month later). I recently got my income revenue flow late the crack of autumn, and I had debts/bills, so I'm saving my strength for next spring. It's too late in the season to start from scratch (wow, just when I wrote that, someone in the next office said that on the phone) but next year looks good. There are plenty of places around the city. Now is the time to hoard nuts and bury them where I can find them in March.

The act has seen growing opposition and defections in the Senate, but it was the lack of time, not organized opposition, that apparently did in the bill for this year. According to a report from the Drug PolicAlliance's RAVE Act point-man, Bill Piper, the House Subcommittee on Crime held a hearing on the bill Thursday, but failed to vote on it because of the imminent recess. Still, wrote Piper, the Senate will be in session through next week, "so we have to keep the Senate version from passing and setting a bad precedent." The ultimate aim is to defeat the bill entirely, but opponents are prepared to offer amendments to make a bad bill slightly better if it appears headed for passage. Two original cosponsors of the Senate Bill, Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Richard Durbin (D-IL) have withdrawn their support for the bill.

In what will be part street theater, part demonstration, we will give a solemn, silent reminder that not even a $355.4 billion budget is worth more than the loss of human life. As part of the protest people will be dressed in costumes as angels of death, bush& co, skeletons, and be draped in body bags. Participants will also be holding sings that say, among other things "This is What War Looks like". Most importantly, we hope to see many of you lying down in silence with us--this will perhaps be the most emotionally powerful part of the event that stirs viewers conscience to stand against the war. hey everyone, i'm writing with the exciting news that the permit for the WHAT WAR LOOKS LIKE: DAY OF THE DEAD DIE-IN scheduled for this friday has been approved and we are ready to move full throttle with this event. i've included further information below--please forward it as widely as possible so that we can make this a powerful success. thanks for participating with us! in peace, nekeisha nyu peace coalition - more info at www.NY UPEACECOALITION - - - - - - - - - - -- ..........................................................................

If George Bush spent more time and money on mobilizing Weapons of Mass Salvation (WMS) in addition to combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), we might actually get somewhere in making this planet a safer and more hospitable home. WMD can kill millions and their spread to dangerous hands needs to be opposed resolutely. WMS, in contrast, are the arsenal of life-saving vaccines, medicines and health interventions, emergency food aid and farming technologies that could avert literally millions of deaths each year in the wars against epidemic disease, drought and famine. Yet while the Bush administration is prepared to spend $100 billion to rid Iraq of WMD, it has been unwilling to spend more than 0.2% of that sum ($200m) this year on the Global Fund to Fights AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. -- Jeffrey Sachs, Director of Earth Institute at Columbia University (Oct. 26, 2002) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i n f o r n o g r a p h infornography at lists.riseup http://www.infornography.org m i s s i o n >> to promote independent information & news >> to refuse groupthink, corporate monoculture, software monopol>> to embrace creative disturbance, civil disobedience, direct action >> to protest the war on terrorism, drugs, Afghanistan, occupation of Palestine >> to celebrate indigenous peoples, communities, direct democracy, the earth, human rights, the global south, local struggle, global resistance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

From: FrequencyFire at cs Finally... > > > The 2nd of the Summit Parties was an explosive, full- on evening. An unforgettable acoustic band to start the night, then a full six hours of DJ sets... That's how the review should have been. It was shut down at one oclock, having started at nine. Now we are fully licensed, no more politics. The deco was from a couple of kids from Boston's only live and kicking trance weekly, Anithya. It looked amazying. We had a couple hundred people all dancing. About 40% attended for trance, the rest just arrived due to the reputation. Unfortunately the only DJ we heard was Ido Mor (resonant frequency)... so nice. If anyone is interested in coming up to the next one contact me so you can crash out in Providence. The ride can be painfull, not to mention dangerous, after a full- on evening.

I humbly apologize for such inefficient and misleading use of public recources (time,emotions needed to understand and process the post and put in action whatever has been said). So in the future, I would like to let others know only the information they need in order for the list to answer operational questions which receive exact answers in particular topic or goal for which it has been created. And I promice to keep my personal posts between me and other person/group involved in my Personal discussion. Thank you for being understood in my e-motions. --k P.S. Does anyone have a poetic doc or an exact map which can define domains of operations with the respective properties/functions ? The older sources are fine, if nothing new exists at this point.

Peter is well known both for his radio show The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade and his numerous books, including the recent Escape from the Nineteenth Century.

The event will take place at the *Brecht Forum* on the *10th floor of 122 West 27th St.* [between 6th and 7th Aves.], a short walk from the 28th St. 1, 2, N, and R stops, the 34th St. B, D, and Q stop, and the 23rd St. F stop.

Excerpt from "The Shamanic Trace" in Escape from the Ninteenth Centurand other essays by Peter Lamborn Wilson (Autonomedia, 1998) The Global Market is not driven by ideology but by its own totalitarian logic, the bottom line of eternal growth - and that which is eternal has no history. Released from its moorings in the mire of mere production, Capital has soared aloft into a NUMISPHERE (a numinous and numismatic realm) of pure transcendance. Over 90% of all existing money has no relation to any other form of wealth, but only to itself and circulates in a free sphere above the Earth, never manifesting as cash or even credit. Purely spiritual, and yet all-powerful in the material realm, money has achieved what God herself could never manage... In one corner of the corner, actual rebellion has broken out. If the movement of the Social is dead, the Zapatistas of Chiapas must represent either the last dying embers of the phoenix's pyre, or else the first tenuous spark of its rebirth...the philosophers of the EZLN have developed a complete critique of global neo-liberalism's meaning for the former "Third World" (how can there be a Third World when there is no second world?). THe communiques of Subcommandante Marcos and other EZLN writers... were developed in conjunction with the Mayan elders of the region, many of them practicing SHAMANS (Y: capitals mine)... In particular, at the moment when Capital announces its unification of reality - the mall-ing and McDisneyfication of absolutely everything - the single world so long desired by Enlightenment Rationalism - just at the very triumphalist instant of Capitals' psychic and aesthetic hegemony of separation and sameness - the very worst "empirical" claim made by the EZLN, the most shocking and atavistic offense against the transparent daylight of "Market values" comes to light: the claim to the right to be different, to be Mayan. Not to be "multi-cultural." Not to be a folkloristic survival. But to be... PRIMITIVE (Y: caps added). In other words, from a certain point of view, the Zapatista uprising is a REVOLUTIONARY REVERSION (caps added). -- .......................................................................... Yvonne | yvonne at igc dot org | aim: whyloo .......................................................................... And as for Saddam having "weapons of mass destruction" (or mass diversion as some critics say) The US has these weapons. So do Israel, South Africa, Germany, France, Italy, England, Russia, and now China, India, Pakistan. How is it the US and its allies (except the Chinese) can have such weapons, but no one else can. The answer to that, of course, is White Supremacy and Imperialism. And what should be the growing understanding by the American people and the democratic people of the world, is what the far right Bush coven wants is a militardictatorship of the world. -- Amiri Baraka, The ADL Smear Campaign Against Me: I Will Not Resign, I Will Not Apologize (Oct. 7, 2002) by porterhouse.cownow (8.11.6/8.11.6) id gBCHwSB03735 To: safetydance Subject: Enchantment Under The Sea Dance From: Ben Mark your calendars, we're doing it again!

To: omnitribe-news, omnitribe, SafetyDance, DRAGONTRIBE, goa-boston, NYC604, psy-trance at dewline, brainmachines-owner, homeoftrance From: omni tribe yes party is on! no problema here.... noma (both of them) and caribace (all 5 of them) are here and verhappy and excited about tomorrow very sorry for not having pre-sale tickets at home of trance anymore. home of trance decided to remove our flyers and stop selling tickets because they didn't like that omni tribe DJs were booked for the Dreamcatcher/1 tribe NYE party. They said that if you are not coming to their party you are no longer a trance person and they don't support you. And if you are playing at another party that means you are promoting another party - so it's double sin well, must state the following: omni tribe is on the side of music and happy vibe; we are neither for nor against anybody (that includes both Dreamcatcher/1Tribe & Home of Trance). we just plawith our lives and we play with tunes... our goal is not to make any rules. we might not like somthing, but we treat it as only our problem. And we do do do need your support our promotion is very minimal because we believe that attraction to the party is the actual party (artists and the vibe) and not empty promises and big flyers with "best and first" the goal is to let people know that there is a party and let everyone decide for themselves based on the personal experience.
