(313) busted parties

2003-05-30 Thread Derek VerLee
Late on the thread.. email problems... anyhue,

How many parties that get busted, now-a-days, get busted
due to venues serving after 2am?  How many due to improper
permits or somesuch?  Do parties get busted for illegal
venues anymore, or is the days of break-in-and-rave over?
 What other reasons do the police have to harass a party?

Seems to me that if a large percentage of parties are
getting busted due to serving alcohol after 2am, an obvious
solution is to choose to have our parties in more
responsible venues. 

_derek

ps. Oddly, I’ve never been at a party that has been busted.
 Therefore, logically, another obvious solution is to only
attend parties that I go to.

i've been to a few where they just show up and say "party's over" and if you
ask why they say "you wanna go to jail?"

the dpd needs no good reason

you forget that its pretty much illegal to go after 2 anywhere.  even places
like mission detroit where they took extra means to go bust free and legal
(and they did) are not 100% legal

the way the michigan law is written it is not legal to dance after the hour
of 2 am except on new years eve

hence why you should support the effort to get the drinking time pushed back
to at least 4.

I've always wondered why people don't do more events in Windsor as its alot
easier to do an event there all night long, legally

The parties that got busted (the ones I know of anyway) had permits to stay
open till 6am though.

When I was leaving the KMS afterparty there were cops rolling in deep 
into that, so I assumed that it was going to get busted, but after 
talking to Pete G. and Mark F., who were inside, it was not. 

The funniest bit was some guy standing in line outside who made the 
mistake of asking one of the cops standing outside it the party was 
going to be shut down. Reply: " What??!??, you WANT me to shut it down?
To which he says no, then: "Then SHUT UP!!" I guess she wasn't having 
a good day policing the wonderful streets of Detroit. 

I can definitely understand beign a little rude when dealing with 
drunken idiots, as I'm sure they had to at some point that night, but 
the guy that this was aimed at was lucid. Lucid enough to not want to 
pay 25 bucks to go to a party that could get shut down 5 minutes later.

As far as permits go, I don't know how many places actually bother to 
get them. One of the loopholes of doing afterparties at galleries was 
the fact that they can hold events for any time periods. As long as 
the event could be shown to be an "artistic" event, it could go on 
forever.

I don't know how true that was this year.

My highlight this year was listening to Dan Bell's set at the 
Underground Stage, as well as Buzz in the MI tent. 

Another highlight was the freestyle programming doen by Ayro at the 
beginning of his set on the Movement Stage, followed by the impromptu 
dancing by the ladies and gent clad in brown overtones. Nice!

Another big + was seeing my NYC peeps (Pete G. and Mark F.), Ms. Potts 
(you reminded me of Brad Pitt in True Romance chilling in the crib 
24/7), as well the French connection (you know who you are), and of 
course those international techno vagabonds (Technotourists, Inc.). 
Shout out complete... 

As for all of the drama that ensues from a gathering such as this, I 
must say what's more important than all of this BS is to hang with 
people you know, meet people you don't, and just enjoy the company 
(for the most part) of people that enjoy techno to some degree or 
another.

Peace,
Alex

On Sunday at DC I over heard one of the cops saying to the owner "your a
gallery, well wheres the art?"
At that point I collected my record bag and headed for the door.

Do art galleries have to stick to the 2am law for drinks?

Maybe it was noise?
The door to DC was wide open on both nights.

Also I have had problems with my isp as of late and I missed a most of the
replies to this thread could some kind soul please forward them to me. I
went down as of 5/28 at 9pm. thankx

ps steve - thankx I had a great time on Sunday.

No dance club in Michigan can stay open til 6.  Its flat out illegal.  There
are some known places that the cops typically don't bust (gay clubs and goth
clubs) theyre still not legal.  If you have a food permit you can stay open
til 4, if all of the liquor even the stuff on the floor is gone by 2:30 and
theres no dancing.

the problem isn't serving alcohol. the problem is that you cannot have
none employees in a bar after 2:30am. even if there's not a drop of
alcohol to be found, you're still breaking the law.

Interesting bit o' history behind this...way back when this was put into 
play, the Big 3 (who, incidentally "killed my baby" :-) decided they didn't 
want their employees out bar hopping all night - makes for bad attendance 
on the assembly lines the next day.
