Goddamn. First, I have to thank everybody for the first-class entertainment I've been provided with. So much for all that PLUR crap I get shoved down my throat when I walk through a crowd of drunk skanks, just another fad.
None of you are as pure as you believe, time for a reality check, and quick!
As for NYC, it looks dead and six feet under. The best idea, rather than pointing the blame at anyone in particular for the
routine devolving of a scene over time, would be to first look at yourself and see what you can do about it. What the fuck is everyones beef nowadays? Everybody throws their hands up and calls quits on whatever isn't working their way, which, if I didn't already have to point out, isn't fucking cool. Instead we're hostile. We can't even walk the sidewalks without having to stare at the pavement the entire time; no friendly strangers, no innovative ideas, no contribution to "making shit better", we're all too wrapped up in the negative feelings we got that we live a clouded existence. You say it's pretty much pointless to go out now, but you forget that even though you find these kids responsible for the collapse of a great lifestyle, that it's not to some of these punks. It's
their drumbeat and their turn. Let them have their fun, I'd personally rather sit at home with a group of friends switching inbetween crystal and lines of yao, doing our own thing. It's what we got so we make the best of it and we let those chillins paying $25 cover fees for crappy events.
Time does these things, but history repeats itself you forget. Scrape together some dollars bro, organize, plan, find a spot somewhere in the CT woods and use a few of your friend's cars as a source to draw power from or something. It's not as luxurious but it's one option that you do have. Do your own thing in the mean time until the limelight shines on the metropolitan area again
you know it's only a matter of time before someone plugs the life support back in and all the mod club "ravers" get a taste of what it was about. I'll cross my fingers on this and stay optimistic... I swear, if I only had the financial means...
If anything is responsible for the instabilty in NYC now it would be the drug addicted, self control-less losers that plauge the streets EVERYWHERE promoting their crappy culture. People must've lost interest in becoming burnt out (or at least to the sound of a dead beat, lol) or watching a bunch of kids drop to the floor after eating a bad batch circulating the place. It's the foolishness behind these types of people that ruin anything. The scene. The fun. Money. Relationships. Whatever. SoCal has it coming their way, just give them some time and they'll realize your frustration.
Maybe my post is coming off irrelevant? I only read about 7 pages of these California kids spazzing the fuck out because you wanted to speak your mind before I had to offer my commentary, and I haven't seen my pillow in 2 days so I'm on a "vocal roll"
\m/ Rock it
