yes, they did have to shut it down.  it is now illegal to listen to
electronic music in detroit.  it must be, because when the last party
that i was at got shut down, i yelled, 'it's illegal to dance in detroit
now, right!?' at the every cop i saw, and they didn't disagree.

detroit police should go to the clubs where people are getting shot in
the head.  oh, i forgot, there's no money in that.

I can't believe this?!? Unfortunately I wasn't able to head down for this, 
but it looked like this weekend was going to be pretty good here. Did they 
give a reason? Was it late? Funny how you get 2 people shot in front of 
the Candi Bar/XS a few days ago and I bet money they weren't shut down 
this weekend. Makes you wanna go h...

Peace,
Alex

The *Johansen* got busted?!  I don't believe that's happened before,
at least I never heard of it, and they have events all the time.
A real shame -- the people running the gallery are cool and keep
things well organized.

I suppose from the cops point of view they can't tell whether a
party is full of playaz or the people are cool.  On the other hand,
they don't usually make much of an effort to find out.

Been at many a busted event in my day.  It's hard to believe this
still happens.  But you know, it's nothing new at all:

  Now, the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin',
  The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin';
  And way up above all the noise they made,
  Somebody hollered, Better get out of here; this is a raid!
  Now, I didn't know we was breakin' the law,
  But somebody reached up and hit me on the jaw,
  They had us blocked off from the front and the back,
  And they was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack.

  It was rockin'! It was rockin'!
  You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' till the break of dawn!
  It was rockin'! It was rockin'!
  You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' till the break of dawn!

  I knew I could get away if I had a chance,
  But I was shakin' like I had the St. Vitus dance,
  Now, I tried to crawl under a bathtub,
  When the policeman said, Where you goin' there, bub?
  Now, they got us out of there like a house on fire,
  Put us all in that Black Maria,
  Now, they might have missed a pitiful few,
  But they got both me and my buddy, too!

  We headed for jail in a dazed condition,
  They booked each one of us on suspicion;
  My chick came down and went for my bail,
  And finally got me out of that rotten jail.
  Now, if you ever want to get a fist in your eye,
  Just mention a Saturday night fish fry!
  I don't care how many fish in the sea,
  But don't ever mention a fish to me!

It got busted when Garnier was supposed to play two years ago.
