i have been to parties out on the east coast, mid-west and the west coast. the only place that had any kind of age restriction was the East Coast, especially DC and Baltimore. it made for a more fun and mature enviroment. i am sick of going to parties and seeing all these 14-18 year old kids laying around on the floor rolling thier ass off. that is not my cup of tea. and besides, most of these kids don't know where it all comes from. they think that trance is the way, and really it is just ruining it all. ok...that is enough venting for today. jeff
