Live recordings of Deviant and Darbe's mixes from Friday's ::TRUE:: party at Abbasso Underground Lounge are now online. The event was a tribute to the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Deviant mixed in the full "I Have a Dream" speech in the first 25+ minutes. The rest of the set is pretty kickin', too. Thanks to all who voiced their support. Dream on, dreamers. http://www.headrushmusic.com

A really great girl (who is a 6th-grade teacher) and I talked at length about all the Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes we had put out on the tables and bar; turns out she still needed a lesson plan for her classes' MLK celebrations, and I gave her all the posters and such to use in her class!!! How many teachers can say they got their materials for their class from a CLUB? At first I wondered if many people would vibe on the MLK theme, but once I saw how well-received it was, I was glad. Really glad. And Deviant's mix-in of the entire "Free at Last" speech was top-notch. I can't wait to post the set to the web site so those who couldn't make it out can hear the set. Thomar, I hope your mock trial went well this morning; You are THE MAN for sticking it out until the end!!!! And nice work on that CD mixing... See ya next week everyone! Same time, same place. http://www.headrushmusic.com

Electronic Music Defense and Education Fund December 3rd, 2002 - EM: DEF Newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Racine, Wisconsin: "Disorderly House" Citations First Day in Court On Monday, December 2nd, the first 206 of 441 persons cited for attending a November 2nd, benefit concert in Racine Wisconsin were scheduled to enter pleas in court. In an attempt to dissuade individuals from challenging the $968 citations in court, Daniel Wright, the City Attorney for Racine, offered to reduce fines to $100 for anyone who pled "no contest." Mr. Wright made it clear that the deal would not apply to anyone who challenged the citations in court and subsequently lost, they would have to pay the full $968 amount. But only 19 people took the city attorney up on his offer and pled "no contest." More than 70% (147) of those who appeared in court pled "not guilty" and demanded trials! Another 40 individuals failed to appear in court and were found "guilty" by default. Last week the ACLU of Wisconsin urged the Racine City Attorney to dismiss the disorderly house citations "in the interest of resolving this matter quickly and avoiding a tremendous waste of public resources." If a similar percentage of the remaining 235 persons scheduled to appear in court on December 9th and 16th plea "not guilty" the City Attorney's office will face the logistical nightmare of having to prepare and try hundreds of cases. The City of Racine will likely be forced to hire a special prosecutor to work full time on the disorderly house cases, police officers called to testify in court will likely be paid overtime - unless police services in the community are to suffer, and additional court staff may have to be hired. In all, the City of Racine may need to try 300+ people. EM: DEF STRONGLY URGES ALL THOSE CITED TO FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND CHALLENGE THESE MERITLESS CITATIONS.

"You goin' to the cluuuub? You goin' to see Oak-en-follld?"

How were the sets? How was the crowd? Did the OSU game insanity and rioting prevent the dj's from spinning? Would have made it down, but had prior commitments. Please fill in... Thanx.

I can't even believe a fucking thread like this would be started. Somebody, shoot me. I AM a jaded raver. Jesus. Time to retire.

What up? Mudslinging? (You wouldn't happen to be talking about the pb-cle list would you?) No, I didn't know Lawler was going to be there! I subscribe to the RedZone mail list, but didn't get that notice. THANK YOU for posting! I'm trying to persuade DaVe to let us start a Cleveland-Columbus-Pittsburgh board, but so far no response. So, if there are peeps out there from the area, shout out! Let's do this. There are a lot of cool events that happen around here, it's just that we're all so damn spread out and it's tough to hear about most of them. We need a virtual meeting place to bridge the gap.
