To: sfraves@soda.berkeley.edu
I bought the set this weekend, and one is blasting away right now, filling
the mediocrity of my neighborhood with glorious house....fantastic!
Weekend was soooooooooo fantastic. The beach party location couldn't be
better. I hope those folks throw one each week. That's what it's all about,
isn't it? Everyone hanging out together, reveling in the majesty that is nature and our home...
wow. Good to see Lee & crew, M and Normals, Niels....what a time. I am reminscent already!
where am I going to buy tapes if Ameba closes? I hear mark's lease ends
wednesday so he isl ooking for a buyer quick-style....I really don't
want to start buying them at HouseWarez...they're always grumpy...
have a fantastic week and go outside a lot...it's beautiful!!

Ameba Clothes on Haight is in desperate need of some
limited partner investors. This is not an advertisement
but just thought you all might not want to see a center
of rave activity go away. Mark needs $5,000. to keep it open
if you can help him in any way, call
415.750.9368 TODAY! (tomorrow might be too late)

I would strongly encourage anyone considering becoming a "limited
partner investor" in Ameba to undertake a full review of the books.
This is a prudent and intelligent thing to do whenever considering
this sort of investment. Review of the books will make it clear if
the business has seasonal cycles and this is just a temporary slump,
or if the business needs rethinking / reworking. It will also make it
obvious as to the magnitude of the cash flow problem.
I would also encourage anyone involved to have legal notarized
contracts executed which clearly delineate what you are getting for
your investment -- in particular, should Ameba become bankrupt, any
agreements should be spelled out in black and white and witnessed by a
notary, especially if you expect to be able to hold Mark personally
liable for the funds. Obviously, any sort of profit sharing agreement
should also be properly handled. (Any lawyer will tell you that
proper agreements in the beginning will save lawsuits and hassle in
the end.) An important question to have answered in the contract: if
you are a limited partner, are you liable to cover your percentage of
any losses?
Finally, I would encourage potential investors to visit the shop,
examine the inventory, layout, etc, meet the employees, talk to people
here on SFRaves, and so on to get a feel for the type of business
Ameba is in and its particulars -- before assuming partial financial
responsibility for the business.
Note that I have nothing against Mark, these are all just intelligent,
prudent, possibly obvious suggestions before making any investment.
I realize that action is needed, and that there may not be time to go
through all of this, but... hell, now that I've said this, at least
I'll be able to sleep at night if things get ugly for an ill-informed
investor...
Blah blah blah,
Bob

Subject: Weekend Update 6-20-93
I mixed a business trip with some extra-extensive extracurriculars
this past weekend . . . starting at Your Sister's House and
Foundation, which I mentioned in previous posts. Saturday evening I
wasn't feeling so great, but decided to give Wicked at the Stone a
try, despite my lingering congestion and, well, the Stone.
Met Lee and some of his friends outside while we waited for the
crew to haul out the remnants of the heavy metal show. The last time
I was at the Stone was last fall for Southside Johnny and the Asbury
Jukes. The band was great, the crowd was boring and the staff was
obnoxious, so I wasn't real optimistic.
On the other hand, this was wicked@stone, so things figured to work
out after a while -- and they did. We got in around 2 to find the
order a little different than advertised. Jeno was already up and
running a smooth set which actually peaked fairly early and then set
the stage nicely for things to come. Then came Markie, Master of the
Edge with a solid set that suddenly veered into a tremendous long
Cloud Nine acid jam -- best spinning I've heard from him and the
standout of the weekend. Garth finished up for the second night in a
row, after a yeoman job cheering Markie on, with another enthusiastic
turn. It was quite a sight to see Carlos on the floor intensely urging
him on -- he would've raised Garth off the DJ platform if he could've :)
it was one of those moments that makes it so wonderful to be in
this scene.
This was my first event north of Market and I could tell the diff in
the ambience from the good ole SOMA spaces. The Stone is certainly
not the ideal place for this kind of party, but it worked well enough,
and there was even a bit of that ole magic especially during Markie's
set. They even had free ice water available, and the staff basically
stayed out of the way.
Anyway, I had rallied strongly after feeling a little off earlier, and
ended up on the floor nearly continuously for 5+ hours. And then felt
good enough to head over 1015 Folsom, which turned out to be another
good call. I hadn't been to Boogie Buffet before, but it is shaping
up as a very nice event. A good hard trancey sound in the front room,
with people mostly hanging out, and after a while they opened up the
far end -- what a nice space! I hadn't seen Folsom since the last Come/Unity
there -- overheard someone saying they have two fulltime carpenters working
on the place. Flowers in big vases, some sculptures, beanbag chairs and
a soda/coffee/French toast bar, and a DJ playing some jazzy jazz. A
nice decompression chamber after a rockin' weekend!
After getting some sleep I wandered over to the Haight St. Fair around
2 pm, stopping first on Lower Haight to check out the scene. Some
people living in the 600 block were out on the sidewalk with a table
selling cookies and brownies and things, while dancing around to the
Lee side of the Connection II tapes! So I hung around for a bit and
had a nice chat'n'skip with them . . . It seems like the C II tapes
are everywhere -- I've heard 'em all over the place in the last month.
On trudging up the hill, the Fair was going full blast. I stopped at
Housewares and picked up Twitch CD 6 and a really cool UK tape,
'Kitchen Synch' with Jon Williams and Phil Smart, very nice stuff. It
turned out the DJ in front was none other than Buck, who I hadn't
heard or met yet -- it was good to chat with him, and I gather he's coming
through the Northwest soon and maybe going back to the UK this summer.
Further up Haight I came across Mark and the Ameba crew. Word is he's
got new partners and things are looking up, which I'm very happy to
report. I also ran across M and P-ter who gave the lowdown, as it was
at that moment, on Xochipilli.
And I decided that if I could have such a great time despite not
hitting any 'killer' events this past weekend, it was time to plunge
back in so I'll be back for Xochipilli and whatever else transpires
this weekend!

AMEBA is on line. Mark and discoboy both recieve mail At
m@soda.berkeley.edu
We went to "Burning Man" and saw road warrior/rocky horror picture show
hybrid tribe burn huge man in a harsh desert environment. Rave tent was
there, 2 miles from center of camp. TAZ must have been responsible.
Witnessed atrocious parkinsons style convulsions for hours, some poor frat
boy from Reno injested a MDA related compound made by his in-frat chemist.
his first psychadelic experience was spent pinned to the desert floor as a
haight ashbury clinic doctor tried to unravel the autistic groove the boy
found himself in. Took 7 of us to hold him down as his convulsions were beyond
epeleptic. BEWARE new synthetics. Burning Man is a next year must-all 3 days.

THE SKY HIGH CLUB may be just what is needed after a long weekend of
bad directions,cops with no sympathy for raving, gangs, speed, dank
basement level parties.....
The Sir Francis Drake hotel has started to allow Mike Manahan and
friends to throw a Sunday night party in the fat-assed lounge
on the 21st floor, in the "starlight room". A view for sipping
spirulina/lecithin laced bloody marys and reflecting on the weekends
events, as Richard Sun said "high above the Psychic plane".
10-2:00 Sunday night.
also Sunday the third is the last time we wil see mark ameba for a
while. He is going to go live with his wife and daughter in New Zealand
for a couple months. I think he would appreciate seeing the SFraves friends
more than anything, he has always had the highest regard for your efforts.
IT costs $5 Mike Manahan is a ripping progressive dj who is leaving
to start a scene in Guam. He plays progressive house/spiritual techno
which is almost my ideal (Hard trance With a Gay Vibe).

to avoid panic i will post the orb tickets as soon as they arrive at
ameba on this here computer gismo. i was called on tuesday by orb
woman voice and asked if she could bring them friday. so we will
be strung in anticipation untill further notice.
Larry has wisdom in his long memorie of sense net and the auricular
thing. Allan & jenny of auricular are sound sculpters of the old
school 1st wave of "industrial" which i believe mix heavy into rave/
underground dance music roots. disco, is the popular force, which
brought the vinyl out of the nerdy record private school, and into
group pleasure. Rave is weird electric sound with rythym,
but it has sparked a new intrest in more abstract, non rythymic sound
but many have a short memmory and due to the negative image of the
testosterone wax trax "industrial" the people who really can deliver
the most awesome "ambient " sound come from the old school(steven stapleton
cab voltaire members etc.) I do not like my ambient room to sound like
a cancer therapy healing new age flute harp synth mush. i like the music to
be mentally engaging and viceral swirling trippy witty beautiful....not
just a cliche of what a few eno records gave birth to.
I am so happy that the park is happening, this music and our bodies
need daytime outdoor )F\ffM!s v<,?o salutations

raver and the doom lovers of abrasiveness definately are at odds with
each other. I have been fascinated by the hybrids of different sorts
our rave community~
there isa SRL show planned for november. a building will be destroyed.
also some lady with money is throwing a rave-like event at the concourse
on the 16th of october. Carlos has been hired. If anyone has the desire to
make money doing lasers,visuals or some ravesque type hype i can hook you
up. act fast unless you are working on a really cool event that will
lose money because you have integrity.

I think Geoff's dance theory is strong.
Emphasis on the body. For us every day is a
cyber-day. Just because it seems like the
millenium brings a new way. Dispite the attractiveness
of T. McKenna and others' theories about evolving out of the
"monkey body" and the role of digital tech in
achieving this evolution, WE LIVE IN OUR BODIES, and I
think we will take them with us.
I rave for the fact that dance music is evolving fast
and the gay discos arent keeping up.

lots of plants and projectors. We would like everybody to start thinking
about a plant and a slide with projector that they could bring. We want
it to be a party: warm , moist, and cheap! So if you see a projector or plant,
cheap, nurse them to health and in january some time we'll all come down
together.
Dave is an XKP and new PTV person who has this to say,
"hardcore goin' down on the mutha funky haight, get the picture?!!"'
Also the final Sky High Club is in the works for november before the

Hello all,
Many of us who still rave proudly have learned what our personal
freakout dance quota is. Many of us on this list have become selective
to the point where we seek and find the 1 event of the week we want
to support. In light of this mature rave behavior the funky techno
tribe people have decided to be low key about the fabulous news for
this weekend in hopes that we will throw caution to the wind and not
only go to the come/unity,funky techno tribe but then be led by our
rediscovered spontenaity and head into the park for another amazing
free bandshell experience. But as i mentioned, they know well our
party patterns and don't want us to forsake one for the other. I fully
appreciate their position, however , im a gossip and can't sit on the secret
any longer...and i am advising myself to throw caution to the wind and
go to 2 parties this weekend! (if the weather holds)
Ameba will have a tofu-kabob grand opening day party next month to
celebrate our tea/media lounge grand opening.
Hawkwind was good but it took the ravers to get the crowd out of the
stupid face the stage and watch mode and start dancing with each other
(i thought the hendrix song said "rave on,rave on")

If anyone has a strong projector and some classy silent films Ameba
wants to start the sunday evening outdoor film series , with ambient
djs supplying the sound track. our back yard was the old haight theatre
and the projection wall is still there , all we need is the projector
and some films and yall can bring your blankets and chill. it could be
a good free regular summer thing.

Date: Fri, 15 Apr 1994 13:08:38 -0700 (PDT)
Matthew Fox is a Very New Age kind of person. Many New Agers have a set of
religious preferences which are taken from traditional religion of one
kind or another. I think raving is part of new age culture.
Terrence mckenna/esalen/space time. Ghandi said he would be happy if the
west was more christian. Its that Global village with pluralist,
multi-cultural perspective that New Agers advocate. When I used to shelve
books I used to have a hard time determining whether to put him in
religion or new age sections. Ultimately he ended up in religion with the
other christ-ey stuff. I too got queezy when confronted with the "died so
you could live again" thing. The mental flips required to erase my bad
time at the Salvation Army are too great. There is room under the new age
umbrella for rev. Fox but my predjudices and marketing skills got in the way.

I lived in santa cruz for most of the 80's and there have always been
drug parties at bonnie doon, especially during spring and summer.
They began cracking down every summer and virtually shut down
every beach North of Santa Cruz using massive amounts of manpower to
achieve the total curfew after dark.
We cant party there in the summer because it appeals to to many people
who don't care about anything other than getting high and fucking shit up.
I bet when the weather gets cold and wet this winter we can use the spot
with discretion.
This problem has existed for as long as I can remember in Santa Cruz.
And it probably is a social reality of kabalistic proportion.

Spiral Jive was also planning a Renegade Party This Saturday,
and I dont like the Idea of going against each other and Organic
Here is my Idea,
Lets do Launch pad as planned but add 2 spiral jive djs.
We'll keep their set up in a nearby van, and if the cops come
we'll send them to set up at their location, and we'll party
all night no matter what.
If this sounds good I think we should have a list vote.
This is acceptable to them and they are good people...DJs.

Personally, I am fascinated by themes of inevitable new age evolution,
as opposed to Revolution and alienation. Technology,
Capitalism(Trilateralism), and the new spiritual attitudes which coincide
with this inevitable destiny. The world will be one big rave with a
machine enhanced beat. We will own only what we have in our backpacks and
rent the rest (some of us might have chill spaces). We will creatively
consume and produce to the high energy muzak. Every once in a while a
cute fashionable person will bring by a plate of fruit.
This is the best possible future.

Our Party on Sunday during the haight street fair was well attended,

you have fun?" was Gannan's response even though he was battered by
numorous complaints from neighbors. We gave half the money to the I-beam
security and half to the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic. The Director was
shocked to recieve money from ravers.(we are not on many peoples list
of respect due) Sorry If I was rude to anybody at the gate , I know I
might have been.

of us out back under arrest--Luckily OFFICER GANNON was on our side that
day. discoboy & I spent most of the day at the ameba booth BUT Bahg, DRC,
Tracy and Garth spun and the vibes are still floating around out there.
The profit from the party went to the Haight Ashbury free clinic--and
they thanked us so we're thanking you. Later on the party moved to the

David . Das . Rucspin . U.S. Thomas . Tracy
Basically this is a spiral jive party
outdoors and free, kind of.
Y'all are familiar with the 24th and illinois space which gets busted
occasionally because many cars and people create a chaotic atmousphere
on the street. Well we got a guy who will let you in the gate and park
at the end of Army , and the party is further down than usuall. But the
guy will ask each person for $2 . He has reduced the bust probability
by talking to the neighbors and finding out how we should do it to least
offend. He has been watching us for a while and now wants a piece of the
action. He doesnt want to be paid to dissappear, so we think it is worth it
to let him provide pay parking. If you must sneak around please park wiseley
and don't hang out in the street.

acid which was still "funky groovy" underneath the acid bleeps. It was
Townsend on a Saturday Night which is always clubby yet fabulous. Wierdo
ravers and drag queens, donovan visuals, smart bar, li'l chill space,
line outside crowded dance floor, markie physically restrained security
from cutting of his record ....AND they turned it off with a scrAATch at
9:00am or so. Courtney did more than anyone luv phaser set at broad sweep.
Geoff between markie and security..you've seen it before...and it
is still wonderful.

the jupiter bash as well. Phat venue--lots of alters, incense...a woman
painting a mural downstairs in the chill room. Very agro music-heavy techno
SHOBAN back from detroit played swirling acid techno that was as extreem
as anything I have grooved to. All ages crowd--literally ALL AGES.
Excellent party. Thank you spaz people!

to entertain everybody expecting MEGA-RAVE
Groove Kitchen at Russian river will be beautiful ...we too will be using

reclaiming near by so lets groove with respect and maybe we can reuse the

Funky techno delivers and the NASA people did good last time they were here,
See the Light tour.
We only get that flavor on a big scale once a year, techno progressive,
Meanwhile massive parties are happening around the u.S. this weekend,
Narnia in SanDiego and some thing in St Louis. Hardkisses booked at both

In act of bad faith after act of bad faith The zippies are living pinheads
and seem to enjoy delivering dada to all. When you take the dada route
you should expect someone to kick you in the teeth. Its part of the game.
I read an article in paper about the zippies which seemed to be just an
article gleaned from other articles about something in the spirit of
woodstock aniversary bullshit. They have issued flyers about an Oct 1st

We were the map point for a party again this weekend, and thats always sa
bit touchy because map points are always for young crowds who are used to
getting burned by promoters and stopped by police. I do it for two
reasons: for people to see that we are a bit more than a retail
establishment by actively participating in our scene, and also to show
new people that we ARE a retail establishment. Some times we do it for
free , some times we accept money, last week Dutch gave us $50. Plus I
get to spin while people get directions....for better or worse.
I saw an article laura wrote for Iron Feather journal about DJing, it was
cool!
Wickeds new sound system works. King street was more king street than ever,
hot and sweaty, good crowd, no escape, Garth is really ON since he

There have been several attempts to get a regular trance party going but
so far none have really taken off. All summer long I get bombarded by
europeans who ask where the trance {goa style of course} parties are .
They do not like that funky -groovy. Personally I think the best DJs in
sanfrancisco play house- However some of the best records being made now
are Ambient-techno-trance . I think it is easier to mix house
beats. Techno songs have odd fractalized rythyms which confuse me. People
who like techno buy the music and listen to it UNMIXED! I cant imagine
doing that with house. Laura and Shoban are the two who I first heard
play not-house in SF scince Mr floppies (i know there are others but
during the early part of the sf rave scene (toontown times) i was in jail.)
Floppy people are part of the contingent of people in sf who prefer
cosmic-acid-artsy-freaky to the funky-groovy. I felt their presence at
the jupiter bash. SPAZ is my favorite protaganist of the techno freakout .
ethan,bryce, WBL, and all of ya'll get on it . Zippy-hype master Frazer
Clark seems like a supreme egoist But he has brought the possibility of
aan above ground trance party into being-His hype and lots of help from
everyone else. I say MAKE IT HAPPEN so I can have a place to send the goa
crazed euro-heads on a weekend.
Besides techno is really cool on a big sound system!
and maybe some AMBIENT JUNGLE!!!!!

I just visited him and he is stable but has major complications.
I never fully understood what the deal with all of the ravers and
promotors who made Malachi's accident such a major affair. I only met
malachi after he was paralyzed. I wanted to go to basics tonight but I
can not imagine what it would be like telling tophers many friends that
he may never be the same, while they are raving.
Topher was just about to release a really good tape, so I am sure that he
felt as Malachi did , that raving was not mindless partying.
If any one feels like picking me up at ameba I would love to go to basics .

When I first started buying vinyl again
I was really attracted to the progressive trance hits on R&S and sabres
of Paradise. after mixing for a while I found it was hard to be creative
in mixing these tracks. Now I seek less dense house/techno /ambient for
my mixing pleasure, - mixing changed my tastes!
I realize that the gay clubs are playing the kind of house I like but my
ultimate fantasy is a mixed scene and know my dj is
in touch with psycedelic needs. I know this party
will happen again and again so I'm not complaining
on the other hand Alex played som detroit techno that almost made me wet
my pants. Eighth house people remember to flyer AMEBA on the weekend so
people can dig an alternative to Spundaes.
Regarding the Frazer Clark mention at the Planetary Mass as If he is some

Atomic Dog was incredible and the dead head vibe is liberating as they

it looked like a bunch of drunk yuppies, Floppies did to of course, but I
felt comfortable there. I must say it was freakish and arty and no one
ever talked to me but it was fun and wierd. I thought the sound and music
sucked most of the time but it always had a feeling of being out of control.
It seemed like a large scale spaz with a very diverse crowd.
onse i walked into a room that was all green and a green naked woman on

I hope that what comes of this is not just a money making bomb.
I would like it if people took this list and added tapes and reviews
so that we may have the kind of reference that is bigger than the efforts
of one. our inventory is but a small turd compared to the massive amount
of tapes out there. I hope that a more global list will emerge , one so
large that sue happy record company lawyers will think twice about trying
to defend an out moded form of money making -intellectual property.
I think the ability to create is more valuable than a creation.
So If anyone has an "original thought" on the matter, I am trying to put
together an article on intellectual property for xlr8r, and would love
"facts" and "quotables"
I would like to mention that tape sales will never pay our rent but it
does pay for many of the records you hear when you go out.

I have had many reports on the COOL WORLD debacle/rave and I have always
tried to stay supportive of cool world (except for the cheezy flyers
which I have always hated). I was given two tickets and decided to visit
cool world since I give out so much advice at ameba as to which rave to
go to. I went paid my six bucks parking at 11:20 pm and found a line far
bigger than anything I had ever seen except maybe the gay parade. It was
raining. They were raising and lowering a board as groups of fifty
scuried to get searched. The line looked like a few hours wait. I could
not get in because I did not have a line pass. Thanx for the tickets ,I
gave them away.
Many people at cool world who arrived before 10pm got in and some had a
pretty good time. One person described how they went inside the ticketing
area to buy tickets and the gates closed and they were trapped. the
security told them that they were rioting outside and they would have to
wait.
All those people in line had tickets. Cops making arrests and asking
people to stop flashing colors.
Some have said cool world got nervous as sales of tickets were smalla
couple days before the event so they let go of a large amount of security
personel. ticket sales on the last day went up and replacements could not
be found. Perhaps one could argue cow palace bad/cool world good . I have
heard the cool world takes pride in providing all ages large raves.
I think tthe cool world flyers promis sex to adolescent males and are
targeting them in the same way that Rambo movies target adolescent males.
I think they gamble more than they should with the well being of the
hords they attract.

Chronicle JAN. 8 SUNDAY MORNING
A small craft designed for touring the San Francisco Bay region capable
of carrying up to 250 passengers is still missing according to Coast
Guard officials. The S.S. Pomme Fritz was chartered by a local group for
a floating dance party concert. The luckless vessel launched during a
lull in last nights storm at about 8pm pacific standard time. Gail force
winds soon buffetted the craft at 50+ m.p.h.. An S.O.S. was received at
10:34 pm last night but was muffelled by whale like chirpings and deep
drones caused by unknown sources. It has been speculated that the Captain
of the vessel had been under the influence of a popular drug used at
dance party concerts called "ecstacy" and may have grounded the ship in
S.F. bay's infamous "Potato Patch", a raised bit of the oceans bottom
near the mouth of the bay. Supporting this speculation is the report from
the coast of the north bay where a jacket made of holographic foil was
found intact miraculously, a tribute to the unknown manufacturers durable
yet fashionable dance party concert attire.

IN FEBRUARY 94 art forum called jungle the end-all of dance music and I
then posted to the list a question...What is Jungle?
Brian B and Laura brought in some tapes I think they were glad to be rid
of with the name jungle on them: they had MC's and it seemed like
Universe style hardcore.
A couple Irish DJ's, paul and dara, played jungle for me for the first time.
Someone gave me a name of a distributer who did internet jungle
orders(some one from this list:] ) and I sold mostly the spacey ambient
stuff.
In the S.F. Area there is
Deaks,Dave,Alex(little),Noah,Gamall,Phish,Jonah,Charlie,Markie,Thomas,Dan
and I am sure many more who play jungle (no girls?) so far Jonah is my
FAvorite.
Jungle keeps getting better at a fast pace and I have no tapes which
reflect the current state of junglisms in sf
Today I heard a jungle tape by DJ RAP (a girl)which was ripping and
tearing(these are jungle terms!)
I hear they are smoking crack to jungle at the Ministry of Sound in London
this is a reflection of the brutal ragga style of jungle which is not the
kind we are digging here. We like sophisticated drum programing,
hauntingly beautiful melodies and not much else.

unhappy with the intense deprogramming chaos which Sarah was sharing with
us. If It was a boy playing those sounds they would have removed him
quick,
as it was the vibe which Tracy had drawn out was unpredictably turned to
another face of Eve. Ironicly It was a Diamanda Galas track that got
Ronan
Cyril and Galen to their feet. The predictably pleasant ambient beats
which
followed brought people to their feet again. I went to sleep with a warm

Nice one .... mikebee,
once I new a girl from chicago who in 1985 listened to house music
in her camero on her way to the tanning salon. However, this in no
way has discouraged me from loving house music in its current form.
the jungle party did have a bit o'hip hop flava but I'd say it was a good thing.
congas, and MC rapping,.. I left early due to a goat burrito I ate.
Also, The Political opinions expressed recently are MALFORMED cliche
(my opinion) and I would reply to them if I was on the appropriate forum:

The Zippies could have been one of many perspectives in S.F. , a city in

Our city sometimes seems behind the times to outside visitors, but the truth is,

playing records not slid down the spindle, but wobbling on top.
Russian river Tribal Future may be postponed due to campsite flooding.
Next Friday is looking ominous. Black Dog, xogenix, Brothers and

I guess that Vangelis track with the woman moaning "I got my voice" might
have been scary to all you lotion-crazed chill folks. I'm sure you all thought I
was playing some evil industrial tracks. Truth is It was mostly 70's space
rock. But yes, the first track I played was "coming up your ass" by
Whitehouse, and I knew you wouldn't like it.

The healing aesthetic, which is often touted by new age/ hippy/ ravers
(which I like to think includes me), I think is complimented by art which
provokes thought through de-contextualizing components of a
"harsh-reality".Monsters have arrisen from the bowels of the peace/love
aesthetic because it was dogmatic rather than tuned-in.
I spoke people from Megatripolis who were visiting San Francisco, they
seemed like wonderful grounded people, who said they were glad you were
here. Are you the good vibe Big Brother?

To: sfraves@hyperreal.com
Frazer and David are entertaining me with a brand of selective hearing , a
panache for insensitivity, and a kind of special sharing that I only found in
jail from the loudest inmates. Usually they get moved around a lot. But of
course I find confusion and harshness inspiring.
I am still rushing from the thrill of last weekend's Friends and Family.
This Saturday I had hoped the Jungle party would be outdoors but I've been
told, indoors $5, 415.995.4699
I was sure last year was going to be the big one for raving in S.F.
In L.A. a lot of people dropped out and were waiting for the next fad,
lots of retired ravers everywhere. We are in it for the long haul now.
At Ameba our favorite thing is to direct visitors to raves and learn about the
big world of raving out there. Fads in consumer society must always come
and go .Culture is a big commodity. The British have been selling culture for
a long time now. Some come here to share and some come to exploit the
sheep, especially us fury California ones. I respect the Wicked crew because
they lift speakers and amps (especially that red haired bloke).

I have appreciated the racism thread as it added to the punch of the Bell
Hooks book I've been reading.Her main point I think is 'to talk about racism
when you talk about sexism and don't leave out the context of a white
supremist capitalist patriarchy'. However, and I think this could relate to
Lee's post, That dancing and having group altered consciousness experience
are very political in and of themselves .I think having ecstatic experiences can
contribute to your person in a way that allows you in return to be able to
affect things in a positive way. The problem with beating people in the head
with statistics and then accusing them of being in denial is that your personal
Pain hampers the positive effect your good intentions might have had.
Correct me if I'm wrong but has your experience as a South African given
you insight into race issues globally? Personal healing is also part of the rave
experience.

reported a story about the death of a male and interviews with a parent.
The reporter tried to convince us that it was not going to be rave bashing.
He was very slimey as reporters tend to be and we could tell him nothing

I think it is amazing that the mother who lost her son has contacted us and I
hope she will continue to do so. For the record , I do think we have drug
abuse problems within our community, as do most groups of young people.
On the other hand, I've never seen young people be as kind to each other as I
have with young ravers.
I think the "prophets" are wrong. I see neo - alienation (real alienation and
revolution is no longer possible) replacing peace/love aesthetics (hopefully
peace/love will remain the undercurrent). The irony of symbolic difference
and connectivity will be a greater paradox than the "prophets" now realize.
The media will call it a new-wave/punk revival and they will be partially
right. Rave culture will be further splintered. The "prophets" will be forced
into hybernation once again.

The Burning man, woman and child (dog) event I regard as an opportunity to
throw yourself into a hostile- to- life environment and try to experience
catharsis. The desert can be very unfriendly and I think when Phred sez more
respect, he means "don't take it lightly"!As It sez on the brochure "people
have died".The rave is a side show to a neo-primitive Road Warrior meets
Rocky Horror survivalist vaudville.
>>to Frazer from the Zippies: he REALLY knows how to throw a good

He knows how to enlist people into his projects and from what I've been told
he can teach you how to sue them after the party goes under. AND I would
appreciate a public response to this accusation because I have heard it from
many reliable sources .

Soon you will be confronted with the secret deeper meaning of punk/new
wave. I certainly hope that this suing stuff is totally untrue because I have
absolutely no problem with what you are into otherwise. In the old punk days
we used to hate having to endure hippie music everytime we wanted to cop
some acid. But now its the other way around isn't it?
Anyhow ,if you deny these accusations I'll be glad to take you at your word:
Did you threaten suit against your partners Mark and Cairo after
Megatripolis S.F. ended? Did you threaten suit against Those in England for
continuing with the name Megatripolis? I know there is a big differrence
between filing and threatening, and I would be shocked if it went so far as
filing. However just threatening as a tactic is a total betrayal of all you
supposedly stand for and would be an example of the kind of Hippy
Hippocrasy which punk stood strongly against.

Good enough for me. Thank you for explaining, I would have just ignored
any accusation if it was me, whether it was true or false. There is a lot of dirt
under the rugs here in S.F. and the secret to keeping-on seems to be the ability
to handle dirt gracefully and in good humour.
A Punk panhandled me in the Haight today and I asked him if "Punk was
dead" and he said "I'm still alive" and I told him that a Hippy had told me it
was dead, and he said "tell the Hippies to go home!".
I'm spinning records at Soupstock in GGpark Sat. and Jen of SPAZ told me
that there will be punks that hate rave music there - come watch me kick all
their asses!

Last night we went to 1015 to hear Andrew astralmatrix's new song he wrote
for Terrence Toy. Saturday night at 1015 is very far from being a rave, it is
very much a pickup scene. They are listening to much of the same music but
they mostly dance as couples. Terrence Toy is one of my Favorite House DJ's
and he has been spinning for as long as house music has been around. He
has been to Come/Unity and Stompy and he would love to play a party where
the vibe is so strong and the music loved. (Terrence even played the song first
so we could get out of there)

As a member of the Haight Street Surf Coalition the prospects of a rave on the

Baha, Mexico. Once I surfed at a Greatful Dead concert in Ventura

To: sfraves@hyperreal.com
A few years ago as raving was introduced to S.F. there was huge potential to
make big money. But now that the general public considers it a trend of the
past there is not as much money as people might guess. At this Point anybody
who is involved with raving is doing it primarily because the love it. Being
able to make a living doing something you love is a rare priviledge in this
world.
Personally I think that Rave needs to trade in some of these bloated ideals and
trade them in for some PUNK style personal freedom. Hypocracy sucks.

MTV wants to do a story on herbal ecstacy and those kinds of products and
even wants to visit S.F. to inspect our scene. We don't sell herbal ecstacy but I
was curious if there was any one out there who has had positive experiences.

Farina, Andre Lucero, Robbie Hardkiss and Charlotte were there + more. It
was stompy and happy and funky and groovy. Over looking the bay and the

Subject: The end of music
To: sfraves@hyperreal.com
Having discovered the point which the idea of music is driven to its end, I am
proud to announce the advent through DJ technology, a new hybrid and
solution to the never-ending genre wars.
Combination of Whitehouse and Jungle is the end of music:
Whitehouse brought sound to its conclusion once having discovered the
Sadian principle: that which causes the most intense reaction to the nervous
system is the best.
Jungle is the manifestation of the principle Cage put forth when he predicted
that in the future machines would have to make our dance music: Jungle is
the most extreme result of this approach.
No combination of records or genres can produce such a glorious result as
these: the end of music.

I showcased the end of music but was upstaged by a Dj once known as DJ
Bryce (among other things) who issued an ultimatum that it was to be his last
DJ gig.
Other anecdote from Joe's Birthday: I asked someone what nerd was DJing
and we didn't know so I went and looked. And it was Monte. We then
wondered if he was a nerd or one of Joe's cool friends.

To: sfraves@hyperreal.com
the word "rave" has been used as slang for the last 30 years for: staying up all
night and dancing. The only thing that has changed is that now we do it in
the day sometimes too. I like the word, and I think if you are not comfortable
with the worst thing someone can say about you... then its time to fire your
Image Consultant!
If you don't like dancing then some of the other good things about raving
may one day let you down. But as it is: rave culture has got the dance music
thing goin' on... and you are allowed to dance in the most freakish manner
one could imagine- someone might even hug you for it.

I was an anonymous disco person who whent dancing where ever I could,
at gay discos usually. I went to an Acid House party at DV8 in
87-88 which sucked. I would rather listen to pre-rave experimental electronics
when I'm not dancing. I started working at Ameba in '93 and since then
have started to meet other ravers. I've never left the Bay Area except briefly.
This is by far the only social group I have ever been proud to feel part of.

Many people have always had valad/invalid reasons for complaining about

I want to suggest to you that behind the innocent motives of the majority there
are issues of a highly personal nature which will no doubt become apparent
and poisonous as this drama unfolds.
I will be highly entertained as I am exploiting the rave scene for surfing and
beer.

Not only will there be a full moon in the sky but very near the moon is

I too thought it was a "skimpy dimer".

here is the DJ order as I recall
4-5 Nathan played and I wasn't there...
5-7pm sat-Dan Barnes : trancy... he actually went up with the sound the
night before and hadn't slept so he definately earned his slot.
7-8:30 the dinner slot by Phred: as we dined on Pasta Veggie Gulosh cooked
by Dana and Harbin's new convert Eddie (picked from the garden)
8:30 - 10:30 Phil this guy played acid houce and every body was like "who's
the dj?" and I asked Garth and he said " I don't know but It's Funky!"
10:30 -12:00 Ethan played an Acid Trance set and on the Wicked System it
was the first time he had heard it and he played on it as the party really
started to get Psychedelic (his car was broken and his kid asleep).
12-2 Tracy played a set which we are already making money on!
2 -4 Garth played a full set of Funky High Energy Cold Fighting ...
When a Wicked Dj gets on the Turbo Sound Sure Sympathizes.
4-6am Carlos Hurtled in as the last arrival straight from NY city and then to
Spundaes after. His energy was Fabulous. And his set was Smooth.
6:00-7:30: Kelly played a set during which I was Hallucinating and trying to
step on my trails of my foot prints. I had some kind of Tribal Dance
revelation during this.
7:30 - 8 : Andrew Rawnsley played some House which he highly alters with
mixer tricks like no one.. where did he learn this?
8:-9:30 : Andrew : I slept and heard good things but I know It was good
because no one disturbed me.
9:30am - 12 POLYWOG played a set which rivaled the last time she played
Willits (Penelope's Web)... ambient kitch?
12:-1:30 I tryed my best to follow the person who influenced my dj career
most. I actually beat - matched 2 records.
1:30-2:30 Alex the newest Jungle Champion who kicked as records and Vibe
and (mark broke a Piniada to jungle)
2:30 - 4:00 Galen started the official Sunset part of the rave and it was
N..I...C..E as it could be!!!!
4:00- I left at dark Solar playing the endless good vibe Indian Summer and I
was So relaxed at this point.... 3 hot tubs help...
THank You all .....:-):-);-)

I did not help with the party this time so I was just a raver
...I like it that way. I dont think I've seen a nicer chillout zone...I
listened in on some of the kids e-piles and was thoroughly entertained.
Even got to hear Claire giving advice (rave mom).
John Carel was my favorite last night but it was a close call since
most of the DJs played FnF style techno/hard trance. (good)
Everything was super!
(niEl, those were real... kind of.)

Nation:
I called the Mayor's and no comment was all the Secretary could say.
I tried to pose the inquiry from the perspective of a local buisness
person who was selling tickets to the event. This did not help.
The Voice mail sounds like they are working on alternate spaces
and no protest is planned (was there one?)
Ron D Core taught me to not give the Pre-sale ticket money to promotors
till after the event. and by the way Ron's party Blitzkrieg will be the
last tickets Ameba ever sells. Usually we accept free tickets for the
service but I don't want to be a guest list raver any more.

Nation has been busted and I have heard that they will be doing a party
at 1015 to make up for it Sunday. All who bought tickets from Ameba can
get refunds...(I know the ticket #s so please don't ask for a refund
with tickets from elsewhere). WE will be closed sunday till 5 so that I
may witness LTJ Bukem in front of City Hall. I will be open from 5-7pm
for Sunday evening refunds.

Subject: ameba news
The ameba/amoeba thing is exciting to me. Obviously I have little
respect for intellectual property rights so it would be hypocritical for
me to complain about a phonetic duplicity on Haight Street.No one from
the Amoeba has said anything to us which I find rude. When people call
us about Primus cds I just say we don't have any.I wish more young wierd
people would open businesses on Haight. F8 has been a great addition.
Regarding the current 13 month calendar movement: I am entirely
dissatisfied with the direction the Northern California representatives
of this movement have been taking. I have formally announced the
formation of the Thirteenth Collumn splinter group. Propaganda will be
available soon.
Lately I have been contemplating the cautions of Eastern mystics in
regards to Psychedelics. They say they cause holes in a persons aura. I
had discounted this for a long time but I think as is the case for most
mystic truths, often metaphors are needed to explain complicated things
in a simple way.
PS: any HTML geeks know about the leftmargin or topmargin commands?

I visited the Burning man website to see if the modern miracles of

Perhaps something has happened?
last year I visited the site and read a small but existing Black rock
Gazette which had some of the days events.
This year promised so much, yet so far...nothing.

"The trouble with avant garde music is that it has lost its original
meaning and now has as many rules and clichés as
country or rock & roll. If in 50 years time they will look back at the
early 1980s, or whenever, and say that was the
new avant garde era, that event must be avoided if we are to remain
true." - William Bennett

hi Chris
I am From Santa Cruz and now mostly live in S.F. I think people in S.C.
suck even though it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I love
the people in S.F. Partying in Santa Cruz is scary sometimes, and
homophobia is rampant. However there are good people mingled in with all
the crap down there.
It's not you.
