It's my understanding that Baltimore has had some SERIOUS crackdowns by the law in terms of "rave" related events (spurred by a less than flattering 20/20 spot on raves, or "waves" as Barbara Walters would say). FEVER, one of the longest running weeklies featuring techno/dance music, shut down. Bassrush3 and just last week, Bassrush 4, two very large scale rave events, shut down. I'm not trying to compare the stealth tour to a rave per se (actually I would be very interested to know what the vibe/atmosphere of a Stealth party is like), but I'm curious to know if this is part of the reason why it's been cancelled so many times. Peace. James

It was Sunday Mass that got shut down, and then they shut the Paradox down (/me has the entire news story on his HD :DD) and of course, that shut Fever down. I dunno about Sunday Mass, never went to it, but imho Fever was crap anyways :) Bassrush 3 got shut down and moved to the DC Capitol Ballroom where it continued but many still got pissed about it, and then Bassrush 4 AFAIK was only cancelled, not busted/shutdown etc. but then by the person who told me the info about bassrush4 (the guy is a bit of a nutball) I must say it's not too much of a reliable source :)) I don't think that Stealth was shut down for such reasons. .auddplte <-- µ-ziq bluff limbo.27 __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ , m7=
