Ha.. actually my dad's more of a drunk than a pothead (he's Russian) but he's cool with weed. While all the drunken Ruskies were toasting with vodka, I was puffin' away on my blunt... and they all understand

Bump for my daily wake and bake bong rip Bump for my pre-class necessary blunt tip And bump for the blunts I'll be smoking tonight Since it's my pop's birthday, gotta celebrate right!

And a premature bump for next week when I'll be flying away to my own little puffer paradiso - a place they call Amsterdaaaaaaaaaaaaam! Keep it high CP!

Since I just came across this thread I feel like I should be bumpin' away... Bump for the bong rips that keep me rocksteady Bump for blunts that get my nights ready Bump for the doobies rolled oh so tight Bump for Miss Mary - High as a kite

I'm going to Amsterdam next week and I wanna try and bring back some shrooms and brownies. Has anyone tried doing this before? I figure if I just put em in my pocket and don't set off the metal detector than they won't search me... that's usually how it's worked for me.. but is it worth the risk?

Openair is like this chilled out loungey type place in the East Village. It's got live DJ's that usually play chilled out dance music. Three rooms, tight sound system, flat screen tvs all over (gives you a nice visual)... and there's like this glowing panel in the back room that changes colors. Crowd's kinda mixed but everyone's there just to chill out - sometimes there'll be people dancing too. No attitude to be found - just a nice place to sit back and lounge. If you go there on a weekday early evening (like 6-7) you can go to the back room and smoke a nice little doobie cuz it's pretty much empty and the bartenders don't go back there.

Openair is a cool chillout spot - nice when you're baked. It's on St. Marks Place between Ave A and 1st.

Nympho, you seem stressed. Not that I don't agree with you about all the drama and the hating and how it sucks... but responding to drama and hating with more drama and hating (I mean look at this thread) isn't going to solve anything. Can't we all just throw a party and release every fucking bit of sexual tension that each of us has (and if you have none I apologize, this isn't meant for you)?? There should be a National Orgy Day where everyone in the world just takes the day off and has mindnumbing insane sex... If you have mindnumbing insane sex every day anyway... well, think of something that you haven't tried and do it. It'll be like a porno prom. Let's all just fuck and forget the bullshit!

Mandalay's right next door to Luxor. You should check out Rum Jungle ar mandalay... nice place. Hard Rock is def. the overall hottest hotel in Vegas (maybe the Palms is up there too)... No matter what you do you're gonna have a sik sik time... Vegas works its magic on you.

March 6, 2003 MTA Board Approves Fare and Toll Plan The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board today approved a financial plan by a unanimous vote that closes a projected two-year deficit with a menu of fare and toll increases tempered by additional multi-ride discounts. After the proposal was passed, MTA Chairman Peter S. Kalikow said, “While making a decision to raise fares and tolls is never easy, I am proud to say that the plan we approved today, while perhaps imperfect, truly reflects the input we received from our riders and the general public.” Over the past three to four months, the MTA had undertaken an unprecedented outreach effort seeking input from the public on its financial plan, holding a series of ten regional public hearings, as well as receiving nearly 4,000 e-mails and hundreds of letters directly on a series of options put forth for public consideration in November. “Today’s plan addresses the overriding concerns our customers expressed in our public outreach effort. First, they were clear in terms of not wanting to see any service cuts. There are none,” he said. “The plan also addresses their concerns over losing the ‘physical presence’ that they believe station booths provide in term of safety and security. We reviewed the original list of 177 full and part-time booth closures and have taken roughly two-thirds of them off the table. Of the remaining closures, none will be full-time booths, and the reduction in part-time booth hours will be at rush hours, not during the non-rush hour periods when our customers’ security concerns are greatest. We have also reviewed this plan carefully with the NYPD and FDNY to ensure safety and evacuation issues are fully addressed,” he continued. “Finally, the plan not only maintains, but enhances, a number of MetroCard based fare discounts that our customers told us are essential to their frequent use of the system,” said Chairman Kalikow. The specific elements of the plan are: An increase in NYCT subway and regular bus fares, Staten Island Railway and LI Bus regular fares, from $1.50 to $2.00 and NYCT Express Bus fares from $3 to $4. An increase in the 7-day MetroCard pass from $17 to $21, the one-day pass from $4 to $7, and the 30-day pass from $63 to $70. The introduction of a new 7-day Express Bus pass, priced at $33. Lowering the threshold for receiving MetroCard “bonuses” from $15 to $10, with an increase in the bonus from 10% to 20%. Under this proposal, a person purchasing a $10 card will now get a free ride. (i.e. 6 rides for the price of 5, rather than the current 11 for 10.) An increase in Access-A-Ride fares from $1.50 to $2.00 and Able-Ride fares from $3.00 to $3.50. The introduction of an “insurance program” for 30-day MetroCard pass users. For a small fee, regular pass users would obtain protection in the event of a lost or stolen card in the form of a replacement card. (Anticipated implementation 9/03.) The phasing out of the token and the undertaking of a customer survey to ascertain the market for a new bi-weekly pass and to determine its feasibility and appropriate price. The implementation of a pilot program to test the feasibility of the “City-Ticket” program that would allow intra-city travel on the two commuter railroads for $0.50 more than the nominal subway fare. No service cuts or layoffs, allowing the MTA to maintain its current service levels and quality of service. No full-time token booth closings and up to 62 part-time closings that serve low volume stations with other booths (74% of which are open 5 hrs. or less, Mon-Fri only; 19%, 7.5 hrs. or less Mon-Fri only, and; 6%, 11 hrs., Mon-Fri only.) 21 of those part-time, low-volume booths are in Manhattan, 23 in Brooklyn, 12 in Queens, and 6 in the Bronx. An increase in the average LIRR and MNR fares of 25%, with no service cuts. An increase in tolls on MTA Bridges and Tunnels facilities by $0.50 in each direction on major facilities and $0.25 on minor facilities. Except as otherwise noted, the effective date for fare actions is 5/1/03 and tolls, on or about 5/18/03. “Under this plan, while the base transit fare may, in fact, rise from the current $1.50 today to $2, the average fare paid by our customers – $1.04 – will only rise to $1.30, a level that is still lower than the $1.38 average subway and bus fare our customers paid in 1995,” said Kalikow. “As I said at the outset, no one at the MTA enjoys making difficult decisions that will have a financial impact on our customers. But it is worthy to note that we have been making very difficult internal decisions over the past few years to hold the line on fares, and, in fact, reduce them,” he said. “The reality is that we have just experienced the longest period in MTA history without fare and toll increases – eight straight years. That didn’t happen by accident, it happened through tightly managing our operations and through the creative use of new technologies like MetroCard and EZ-Pass. As such, our customers have enjoyed tangible reductions in the cost of their daily trips and have saved hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over that time period,” said Chairman Kalikow. “The Board’s action today, while difficult, will ultimately ensure that the New York metropolitan region will continue to have the best transit system in the world,” he concluded.

I was 13 too - Brooklyn works in weird ass ways.

Baby's at the Hard Rock Ra at Luxor Drais at Barbary Rain in the Desert and Ghostbar at Palms Those are my personal favs

Did you guys really come to NYU to study for midterms? We're in NYC people - it's all about the parties! I officially strike against midterms and all school related stuff! Hop on board if you're with me...

Wow, I wasn't really thirsty, but thanks for the Haterade. I dunno what club you were at bro.. I didn't get there until about 3! Stayed pretty jumpin for a few hours. I left at 5 and there were still people groovin. Didn't run into any juiceheads either.. but hey, what can I say.. don't go back. I liked that it was small... just a comfortable dance vibe. As for the girls.. My eyes saw different than yours...

Went out to try and give some love to Factory last night... Got inside, got groped by the behemoth new security. They had rubber gloves on and were NOT afraid to check you EVERYWHERE for drugs. We get upstairs and the place just seemed dead... I really hope that Factory isn't coming to a slow death... So we wound up at Discoteque, by the old Limelight.. I think that neighborhood just stays jumpin...the party happened to move around the block. We got held at the door for about 15 minutes... Looked like a cockfest from outside.. But we waited it out and goddamn am I glad that we did. The place was PACKED with beautiful women and SICK music! Everyone's just dancing and feeding off each other's energy. No joke, the girl/guy ratio was at least 2-1. Ladies, keep packin it in there...you gals make that party! The clubs can't survive without us - it's up to the people to revive the scene... we can't just be waiting for a Godsend of a club. Let's use what we got. I'm not sayin' we should all be going to Discoteque.. but we should all be going somewhere and reclaiming our scene!

At least according to their website... www.soundfactorynyc.com Let's hope this time it lasts...

maybe the lyrics will help... Well... I see them every night in tight blue jeans - in the pages of a Blue Boy magazine. Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation I'm picking up - good vibration - oop - she bop - Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine They say I better stop or I'll go blind oop - she bop - she bop She bop - he bop - a - we bop I bop - you bop - a - they bop be bop - be bop - a - she bop, I hope he will understand She bop - he bop - a - we bop I bop - you bop - a - they bop be bop - be bop - a - she bop, oo - oo - she - do - she bop - she bop hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone Because I can't stop messin` with the danger zone No I won't worry, and I won't fret - ain't no law against it yet - oop - she bop - she bop - She bop - he bop - we bop...

If drugs were legalized all that would happen is that the economic and social demand that already exists among a large subculture of people would be legally satisfied, instead of resorting to the corrupt and useless system today that prevents nobody from drug consumption. If there is a demand for a drug-free club then there will always exist a drug-free club. Look at the one legal drug in our society.. alcohol. There are a lot of people that enjoy drinking when they go out... As such there are a lot of bars/clubs that make money off of meeting this demand. But then there's a place like Arc... a nightclub that doesn't serve alcohol. I'm sure some people go to Arc after huge pregame sessions, but the majority of its clientele are there for the music. That's their theme, that's the crowd they attract. My point is that legalizing drugs would only give those that use them a safe and enjoyable environment. It wouldn't impose on those that don't enjoy doing drugs. You'll never see a pothead telling an alcoholic to get out of his face...

Could it be that 'the problem' lies within the current system of regulation and laws? Let's face it, people do drugs. Legal or not, experimental youth will continue to try various 'designer drugs'. Is there no way to come to a compromise on this issue? What I'm trying to say is that this whole ongoing war between various club populations in NYC is a pathetic recreation of the East Coast/West Coast rap war of the 90s... Why can't we all just get along with one another and accept that there will always be different crowds of people; different subcultures. Yeah, Factory and Exit are closed... their crowds are gonna find new places to party... possibly Arc. Let them do their thing. If you don't approve of the way they party then don't party with them. But you can't just start hating on them for wanting to try a new place.

Has this thread been reduced to a debate about the legality of drugs? Sure, we all have our opinions about it, but the fact is that they are illegal in our society today, and generally (and quite sadly and ignorantly) drug users are looked down upon by the 'majority'. They tried to legalize weed in Nevada last year and the ballot lost by a landslide. This is Nevada.. same place where prostitution is legal now, so if they didn't pass it there, I don't think it's looking too good anywhere in America anytime soon. We all have something to say about drugs.. those who use it are obviously gonna say that drugs are cool... those that used to use it, or refuse to try it.. well they're probably gonna look down on it. Honestly, I just wish we could all stop judging each other. I personally wish that drugs were legalized because the current system is a complete and utter failure. Why is everyone on Alex's ass about suggesting that drugs become legal? If you don't agree then suggest an alternative, but tossing out random insults like "that's the dumbest thing I've ever read" doesn't help the debate.. it just breeds hatred and insult. Why do that? Just my two cents.

Well, he is a 'freak' if you define that as someone who isn't normal. He's definitely a freak in that sense.. but why does that make people cringe?

There are a lot of younger singers, but how many are as successful as Michael Jackson is/was? He was forced into the fame and the lifestyle that comes with it under terms that weren't his own (his forceful father). There is no one blanket reason that Michael Jackson 'turned out the way he did.' It's a combination of a lot of things... I think it's more important to analyze him as he is now and understand his message(s) rather than to try and judge him based on media-hyped incidents that we really have no true comprehension of. Talk about a hateful society... The guy's trying to spread love in the purest way he knows how and everyone assumes that 'something is up' or that 'he's a freak'...
