The CenterRing and psytrance events

topic posted Sat, November 26, 2005 - 1:41 PM by  wingnut
Me and several others have heard it rumored that the CenterRing will no longer be a venue for major psytrance events. Can someone who actually works there verify this? If it's true, can you give more information as to why that is? If not, sorry to bother you, but we all really want to know. Thanx!

    yes it is true.
    thank your fellow city, hell bent fire marshals, and the wonders of zoning restrictions :)

      i love parties, staying up all night, boogyin down, commingling with fun'n'funky folks...
      but...

      i have felt a bit odd about families and super young kids whose doors of their apts open up right to the entryway of the CR where all the smokers and attendees congregate outside.

      i wouldn't be too stoked to have that outside my door going all hours if i were a mom

      Actually my understanding is that they are currently working on the occupancy issues.

      Never is a strong word - but they do need to resolve this issue before they can have more big events.

      Stay tuned I believe is a better answer, but none for the moment.

        curious, is this just for psytrance events or all music events?

          Again - my understanding is it an issue with occupancy and the fire marshall. Which means it's not about what the want to do but about how many people can be in the building.

          They are working on it and I'm sure they'll send out an update when they have details.

            Here's the official word on the
            centerRing building issues.

            Medium to large events, including but not
            limited to psytrance, are a core
            part of what has made the centerRing
            special.

            We're currently working with the city
            on getting some building issues straightened
            out to be able to have medium & large
            events again. We've had amazingly
            generous offers from a number of people to help us
            get these issues resolved, and people we've consulted
            with think its only a matter of time until these issues are resolved.

            Until then, you can continue to support
            the centerRing and enjoy theatre,
            yoga, aikido, and other classes and
            smaller events. You can also come visit
            the newly renamed 'FosterRing Clinic'
            and see a naturapath, body worker,
            reiki pracitioner, art therapist, hypnotherapist,
            or another of our practitioners.

            We are still committed to the centerRing
            vision of an integrated community
            center. We invite you to continue to hold that vision with us

            peace,

            Jonah

              Actually,

              Eye personally feel that the new building code iz a positve change. 4 me it iz a synchronicity in the works. eye feel this waz meant to happen. Please hear me: The pystrance community haz overgrown the space. it haz been very beautyFULL and catalyzing indeed thus far, it haz brought many people 2gether and changed my life 4ever. But now it iz tyme, we need to move on, 2 a wider space that can allow us 2 grow. Being OUT DOORS with the earth, for example. Being under the sky instead of N a container! we raise all this energy, we want 2 tranceform and trancecend- but where R we sending this energy, what R we tranceforming? (what R we doing with this energy, ask yourself)

              NDOORS iz a container on the high energy we raize, INDOORS eye'm so close 2 wanting 2 burn the roof with R energy so that we can fly in the sky, B free, and B where we can communicate the messages we R receiving on a much wider plane. this iz not 2 say that we can never B indoors, the point iz we belong outside, N the air, and with the trees. (eye want OPENdoors! not INdoors)

              the point IZ-
              it iz tyme 4 a new space. there R 2 many walls in the centerRing
