Chicago To Vote On Fines For Rave Promoters, DJs

Ordinance would permit fines of up to $10,000 for underground dance parties.

Just days after the Toronto City Council outlawed rave dances on city property, the City Council here will vote Wednesday on an ordinance that would fine rave promoters and entertainers up to $10,000 for taking part in underground events.

The ordinance, presented by the Council's License Committee last week, would require promoters to register their parties under the new juice-bar license, which prevents activity from taking place after 2 a.m. Registered events also would have strict fire-safety codes and restrictions on building size and capacity.

DJ/producer Richie Hawtin said Toronto, which recently banned raves, "seems to be frightened by something that they truly do not understand

"If the city really wants to take action, let them provide for the kids a suitable place to release and have a smile or two." — Derrick Carter, DJ

This kind of thing freaks me out. I may just have to form the lobby that argues this nonsense.
