oh and it CHANGED SO MUCH. Read the fucking law, glowsticks. Or just check the discussion on kuro5hin from about two months ago. Jesus H. Double Chocolate Christ. The 'crack house' act has been on the books for years, the RAVE act was a puny addendum to make a few conservative congressmen look good. BUZZ was a narcotics convention as long as I've known.

Uh, let's see. Compare and contrast DC as a whole, which is a giant drug supermarket to begin with, and the Nation club where BUZZ was held, which is so amazingly drugridden that it is punitively OFF LIMITS to area military personnel. It wasn't even a cool dance party for the ravers, it was just an excuse for college age kids to dress up and play Hunter S. Thompson to the pounding beats. All the serious big pants heads I know go to warehouse parties outside the district. If anybody else would like to compare the USA unfavorably to China again in the near future, please, go right the fuck ahead. I saw the Int'l Noise Conspiracy play right here in downtown DC this Tuesday past and nobody shut that down, socialist sedition and all.
