      <title>Underground Punx...</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/9496ea6d-e36a-47af-ae1f-25239bc7ae4d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey all!
&lt;br/&gt;I joined this tribe because I love to support the underground arts!
&lt;br/&gt;But, unlike all of you, my underground scene is the EAST BAY PUNK SCENE!
&lt;br/&gt;Are any of you guys interested in PUNK, HARDCORE, METAL, THRASH, CRUST music?
&lt;br/&gt;You probably wouldn't believe it, but lots of underground punx are into a lot of hip-hop, DJ, rap type stuff... so I was just wondering if it works the other way around?
&lt;br/&gt;Have any of you been to a punk show?
&lt;br/&gt;Do you ever want to?
&lt;br/&gt;Do you hate punk?
&lt;br/&gt;Do you have any idea what punk actually sounds like?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What about the underground CIRCUS scene?
&lt;br/&gt;Did you even know there was an underground circus scene?
&lt;br/&gt;Would you ever want to come to an underground circus show?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What types of underground shows have you guys been to that is outside your "SCENE?"
&lt;br/&gt;Can you suggest a fun underground scene for others to check out?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;... JUST TRYING TO GET A DISCUSSION GOING....&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>what it do, plus you?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/9ae0d64a-12df-4487-81e7-9cfb9bbc0d33</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;it been awhile since i had something to say. Yet here it is,
&lt;br/&gt;not sure what has been being posted here lately. IT use to be so simple party, meet exchange then move on to the next night of bliss. It seem like a twist relationship in which i don't need. Not the party sence just, the feeling you get when you party with a crew one night then see them another night and not give all your time in which you if you did, wouldn't that be take away the whole point of going to see some one else perform. Don't get me wrong i like me meeting new crews, just not the bagage.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>What do you do when the scene and you part ways but you still want to help the scene?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/af8e8eeb-29f7-4f86-ba08-edbeccd009b5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This is my current dilemma.  Details if you want are this.  I'm in a crew.  The ideals of the crew are forfeit due to the needs of the "leader".  I'm no longer going to help the crew.  What do I do for the scene?  Discuss.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know it's been a while since we've seen any activity.  Liven it up a bit if you can.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Two chances to say "Goodbye/Bon Voyage..."</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/4fbfae08-c536-4ec1-b745-aa243df3eff7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Yep,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You read that right--"Goodbye/Bon Voyage."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This coming week will contain a HUGE milestone for me--I'm leaving LA! Not only am I leaving Los Angeles (I know that's a big deal in and of itself) I'm leaving the COUNTRY! Unlike previous trips where I was gone for a number of weeks, the next time I return to Los Angeles I will be a *visiting EX-PATRIOT* of the United States of America! A long-time desire of mine has finally manifested into reality--I'm gonna be living in Europe!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In honor of that, I'll be playing TWO farewell gigs! The first will be at my residency for the last 7 years--Something Else! Monday June 25 @ The Brig (1515 Abbot Kinney Bl. Venice 90291 (310) 399-7537 thebrig.com ) One of my former partners, Chaka, has spoken to the owner so he and ToneArm will be taking the reins after my departure (SO GO SUPPORT THEM!!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 2nd gig will be Wednesday June 27 (the night before I take off) at my friends' Adam (Dj Adlove) &amp;amp; Scott's night @ The Hideout (112 W. Channel Road Santa Monica, CA 90402 (310) 429-1851 www.santamonicahideout.com/ ) There's actually room to dance, and I'm expecting some of you to test that theory... ;)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Both gigs are at bars, so it's strictly 21+ w/ID, 9pm-2am and no cover (so DRINK UP!!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know some of you won't be able to make either of these--I love you anyway. If you have a minute, send me a "message of love" (as the pretenders would say) and I'll carry it in my heart to my new home in Sitges, Catalunya, Spain. Btw, I'll be Dj'ing out there, so if you're gonna be in the Barcelona area hit a bruh up, k?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If I've forgotten anything important...
&lt;br/&gt;...lemme know!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;-T&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>New Tribe - Electronic Music Theory</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/7a0a88e5-6e81-4054-bfe7-56e9c120f9cf</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey kidz.  I just started a tribe called Renegade Theory (ermmm, junglists...).  anyway.  It's open to all who want to join and geared toward producers and critical listeners of electronic music OF ALL TYPES (not just jungle - lol).  Drop in and check us out...or me as I'm the only member at the time of this post.  It is a moderated tribe, but not private.  Join the community and let's talk shop.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And here's the link:

      <description>&lt;div&gt;If you know me and know what I'm about. If you've ever been part of the true underground and understand what it means. Then this message will make sense. If you're in the Vegas area and want to join me for an intimate gathering and nature hike, then hit me up.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;No flashy lights, no monster boxes, no heavy backpacks. Just a few friends, some great music, and hopefully some lasting connections. No need to bring your wallets. This isn't about commerce. We're dropping the price of refreshments. Be properly prepared for being outdoors in the night-time as we do some stargazing. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bring what you want, but take only what you brought with you. Leave no trace. We're looking at taking our journey around the 2nd of March. This may change. If you feel you can offer something special to this journey, please let me know. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The line of communication is this median (or any other that you can get hold of me).  I will post more as I know more.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste-

      <title>Last Minute Gig (Los Angeles)</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/7b53d682-fe25-408f-a88e-13ced2bef8d6</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey all, 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I got offerred a last minute gig Tonight @ Air Conditioned Lounge in Santa Monica (2819 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA, 90405 310.829.3700)  I should be starting around 9 pm and I'd really dig it if you could come by!  It's free, so bring as many 
&lt;br/&gt;people as you like (I get a bar percentage, so think about your alky buddies...)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since this is a lounge and not a club, I will be sporting more of the "Velvet" side of my sound, not the "Rough &amp;amp; Ready" dancefloor assault (i.e., no "Doom's Night" but possibly some Bugz In The Attic.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;See you tonight!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;-T&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Twisted D.U.O. (located in Las Vegas, NV) is looking for original video footage to be featured in our next multimedia promotional presentation!!! The soundtrack will be about 60 minutes of full-on and hard psychedelic trance loaded with tons of crazy samples and driven guitar riffs. All credit will be given to the original artist much like a dj's playlist. DNM Entertainment will package and promote the material as well as handed out to other party people, artists, and promoters. Original work is preferred but sampled work is also accepted. If you're interested in being part of this multimedia project and would like to us to screen your videos (no less than 30 second clips, please), please email DNM Entertainment at: dnmentertainment@earthlink.net or visit out MySpace spot: www.myspace.com/twistedduo
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks and keep on rockin'!!!!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Where do you see it in 5 years?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/882d89a1-ba97-4a97-a3e2-6dd5fdf875e4</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Underground that is.  Where do you see yourself having the most fun?  What will it take to rid the world of it's Tiestos and VanOakenBeurens?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I just have this feeling, as it gets harder and harder for us to find safe locations and the old school heads keep retiring from the efforts of years past, that the Underground will remain a hinge that the music world will rely upon for motivation, but will be harder to keep moving.  Here's why I think this.  The Underground has always been a source for groundbreaking music in all genres.  But, how does the music break out?  It's the duty and privaledge of underground promoters and DJs alike to get the tunes heard.  Once that is achieved, the goers, listeners, attendees or what have you then have the power.  It is rare for me to play a set without someone trying to spot a track and hitting me up because I do my best to unload at least a bit of music into every set I play that people haven't heard yet.  If they like it enough, they get all the info they need to find it and they get it, play it for everyone because it's now their li'l baby (it's gladly not just my baby anymore...this is the feeling at least).  So, the attendees and the people that take what the DJ(s) and promoter/coordinator(s) offer are the most important part of any scene.  We can take our decks out anytime and bang it out for whatever reason, but without an audience, we serve little purpose aside from our own entertainment and DJ stimulation (masterbation if you will).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's the catch.  How do we keep the scene fresh and alive with new faces that can appreciate what we offer?  I was talking with the granpa of our crew that started our li'l scene for us and he mentioned the pure joy that strikes us when someone tells us that we throw a great party after having seen the massive scene.  There is no greater pleasure for us than converting these kids to the underground movement and out of the pockets of big promotion.  I like how they come in from epic or bangin' trance land and turn to us and say "wow, you guys play great music."  It's not just because we play good tunes, it's because we can care enough still to not play that same set that you've heard Oakenfold playing for 5 or more years (and he still is wrecking it up).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The prediacament:
&lt;br/&gt;How do we continue to reach out to these new audiences without pulling out of the Underground and promoting?  How do we hit new scenes and shape minds without forcing it?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We run on a scaled back level of promotion here now.  You may know it's coming up, but you won't know when or where until the very last moment if we can prevent it.  That being the case, the only way new kids (of any age) make it out is by being dragged by their friends to the top of some nameless hill.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This may all seem a bit stream of concious, but that's because it is.  The idea has been bouncing around my dome for ages but this is my first post on it and I just had to make it up.  What are your thoughts?&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/f5dad473-9321-4f5b-a535-82feaedf4c07</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I hope that all of you are doing well.  We've had a crazy-busy season here so far with the monthle renegades and 2 other monthy above-grounds.  I really do like my weekends off now, I'll say that foe sure.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, what's crackin' in your necks of the woods?  Anyone have good or bad new to report?  What's working out and what's not?  I just wanted to check in again and make sure that no one's been arrested for doing what they love and all that jazz.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, hit us up...what's the dealio.
&lt;br/&gt;Joshua&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The Music Needs You!!!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/0ff5214a-c1fa-40e3-a256-20e3dbea5c47</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Oh my heavens!!!
&lt;br/&gt;Just noticed the main picture in this Tribe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For those in the SoCal area you may remember the party that this is the flier for. They had several different ones made that had specific genres listed in place of the word music (ie: Trance Needs You/House Needs You, and so forth). They even had posters made of which one used to hang on my wall for a long time (wish I still had it, damn). 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway, love the main picture. Such good memories.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Peace.&lt;/div&gt;

We have a small camp involved with the IGS crew from SF, CA.  Should be good times.  I'll post the addy when I have that.  If you're out there, we should kick it.  See you on the playa.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;We'va had a couple lately in the Santa Barbara area.  This past weekend was about maybe 40 degrees at coldest, but a couple of weeks ago we had a snow party where it was below freezing for much of the night.  Would you have hung out?  Damn, I mean that was a cold party but gollygeewillakers was it fun.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Glowsticks &amp;amp; Incense 
&lt;br/&gt;the phenomena of west coast spiritual dance events
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As individuals within this subculture we each have different reasons for wanting to be involved in it. Each of us finds some piece of ourselves in the crazed din of music and dancing and so feels more whole for participating. Some kids go for the fun and glamour: the socializing, the wacky clothes, the bright lights and the big name DJs. Some kids go for the music: lurking in dark corners of warehouses nodding appreciately or trainspotting in front of the DJ, following the label around the turntable, trying to figure out what phatty-phat track they need to buy next. Some involve themselves for the money to be made. Others go for the dancing, gravitating towards circles or their own little bubble of groove. Then there are those who go for the spiritual experience of it--the transcending power of music and supportive environment of other people who are there not to dress funky, not to trainspot, not to show off that new move they picked up in Chicago; but to simply feel the music and elevate to different planes of existence. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This spiritual side of partying is a prevalent force in electronic Dance communities up and down the West Coast. You can find StarSeed members dancing in the mossy Cascade mountains of Washington. Travel south to Portland and you'll undoubtedly encounter a party by Manoj, and then onto Eugene for burning incense and dancing till dawn. San Francisco's psychedelic history is in full revival every time CCC/Hunab Ku or ProSoy throw a vibrant fluorescent Goa Trance party. You can find full moon gatherings in Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara and by the time you reach LA? Kid, you better be ready for a dusty night in the desert with Moontribe. Virtually every city that now has an established rave community also has collectives of spiritual dancers. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In looking at the history of the movement, some see it as the hippy side of partying, that strange place where Adidas and dreadlocks go together like the Phish laid over a dope breakbeat track. Yet, this is a very limiting view of dance. Hippies weren't the first ones to figure out that good music, room to dance, and a supportive environment could be something special. Meditation through music and dance has been used spiritually for thousands of years. This most recent evolution of it has at least as much to do with shamans, dervishes and hula dancers as it does with hippies. I will admit that, as a child raised by hippy parents, spiritual raving resonates with me in a certain familiar way while stretching foward the ideals of peace, love, unity, and respect (and don't forget a new pair of 1200's and internet access!). However, spiritual raving is not hippy techno any more than any other corner of the community is. A friend from Berkeley (an electronic dance community that can't deny its hippy history) summed it up nicely when she said "We can never really go back to what we were before, we can only reintegrate old ideas with the new." Part of the joy of the underground Dance community is that everyone comes from different musical backgrounds. Some found their way in through the industrial side of things, some via hip-hop, others alternative Rock, and yes, some of us came from the legions of orphaned Deadheads. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jocelyn, who works with the Next School Collective in the Bay Area, explained its history in this way: "I understood the rave scene to be a movement that was created to allow people the opportunity to celebrate life, to release oneself from the illusion of reality that has been placed upon ourselves by other energies that seek to dominate and control our consciousness. People came together, dissolving all boundaries created from fears, to experience this celebration and transcend their daily existence into one where they were raising their energy with all those present; thus allowing themselves to awaken within and experience a sort of religious experience. Raving has come to be just like any other religion or spiritual experience that taps into this generation of energy, becomes organized, and then loses its vitality and original message. The ego, drugs, money, fame, and glamour take over and soon it is just a concert, just an organized event where the DJs and promoters are Rock stars or preachers and the creativity that is awakened in a few is used to once again control the masses." Spiritual dancing is a way of reclaiming more of the pure meaning of raving. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are strong and distinct differences between what spiritual Dance communities offer and what you may find at more mainstream commercial "Massives." When I talked to people up and down the coast, the most prevalent draw of spiritual events seemed to be personal enrichment. People within the movement use it to further their spiritual and emotional growth. Think about it: what do you take home with you after your average Massive? Some spent glowsticks, maybe a phone number or two, a lot less money in your wallet, and that afterglow of fun. These are all valuable things (well, maybe except those spent glowsticks . . . they're not much good for anything) but what if you could get much more out of the experience? Many people feel that they walk away from small, more spiritually focused parties a better person than they were when they arrived the night before. Some expressed to me that you can reach "places you can't get to through any other experience." Through hours of good music and hard dance, people are able to touch something amazing that they can't find anywhere else. Simply stated, they take the whole experience more seriously than the average dancer. It's not just hugs and giggles. If you approach it "right," it can become meditation and personal growth. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of the most appealing aspects of spiritual raving is that the "right approach" is different for everyone. As Americans we are brought up surrounded by organized religions that scream: THIS IS THE WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT! There are prescribed rules of conduct, condoned behaviors, and established means of reaching heaven, nirvana or happiness. The joy of open-minded spiritual raving is that everyone must figure out for themselves how to reach that state. Faith is essential to any spiritual path, and if you believe that you will be cleansed by hours of dance and connection with others who are doing the same, you will indeed walk away from the event a happier person! It can be harder this way. Having to figure out what makes you feel happy and more evolved is not as easy as someone handing you the rules and asking you if you want to play. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The actual systems of belief that are manifested at these parties are as varied as the people attending them. I've been to Full Moon parties in Seattle that had a distinctly Pagan/nature-worshipping focus. Last summer as I left an ATOI (now StarSeed) party thrown in the Cascade Mountains outside of Seattle, I was reminded "Don't forget to thank the spirits!" It was fun to think of the little raving wood spirits as I walked between the mossy trees! Many Goa trance parties have a decidedly eastern focus, complete with dozens of dancers wearing neon-colored third eyes painted on their foreheads. I also went to an event thrown by Triplehorn in San Francisco which was an organized observance and celebration of Beltane: a Celtic religious holiday. The spiritual influences are wonderfully diverse and the focus is less on WHAT you're believing and more THAT you are believing in some higher force and the greater power of the music and its experience. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Another reason people like spiritual raving is that it tends to be more community focused than your average Massive. The organizers aren't looking to make money, after all, who wants to make a quick buck off their family? Many events are free or very inexpensive and the focus is more on the music and the space rather than effects or big name DJs. The parties are smaller and less visually exciting. The pay off is that the vibe, that un-definable, un-creatable, un-buyable driving force, is usually a million times better. Many spiritual parties are focused around a collective of people who have all invested time and attention into the evolution of the group. This creates an environment which cares more about its dancers. The goal isn't gluttonous excess, achieved through fuzzy clothes and argon lasers, but personal and community growth. It's this that creates a greater sense of peace and personal satisfaction. Even the terminology used to describe these events is a bit different, shying away from "rave" or even "party," using words like "gathering" or "celebration" instead. In some ways, it is a return to to the underground birthplace of electronic dance culture. In the days before poster-sized flyers and corporate sponsors, raves were just a bunch of freaks in someone's basement enjoying this weird video game music while someone else played with a flashlight on the ceiling. Some people danced, some people did drugs, other people just sat and talked about things that were important to them. The focus was on the music and the people attending the party: the musical community. Spiritual raving tries to bring that concept back and achieves that goal far better than a party with a flyer too big to fit in our backpack and reads, "One Night, One Vibe, Every Concession You Can Imagine." You have to ask yourself: Is the person organizing this event really looking to improve people's lives or just create a little more commerce? 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Of the many differences between Massives and spiritual dance events, there is one undeniable similarity: Drugs are a presence in both communities, although the reasons for using them can be different. Drugs have been used spiritually for thousands of years to aid vision quests, shamanic journeys, and religious rites of passage. Many argue that drugs can help one reach a state of spiritual transcendence if used correctly. Personally, I feel that drugs are just a short-cut to states of mind that can be achieved organically. Sometimes I wonder if their use in spiritual dance communities robs from the validity of a truly sacred experience. I had a conversation with Roxanne Morgenstern of Electric Skychurch one morning in the desert as we watched the sun rise behind the DJ. Both of us were exhausted from a sober night of fun and we tossed around the idea that taking drugs to aid spiritual growth is akin to getting helicoptered to the top of a mountain. You see, when you climb and sweat your way up to the top, you may find yourself looking over everything and feeling close to the clouds, filled with a great sense of satisfaction and personal accomplishment. By contrast, with a helicopter ride to the top, the peak loses its luster. You can stand on top of the mountain and look out over everything while still wearing those clean Italian sneakers you bought over on Melrose, but you've missed all the mountain streams, wildflowers, birdwatching, and rock-hopping along the way up the trail. When you've gone home all you have is your credit card receipt from the helicopter pilot and the Polaroid you took at the top. Meanwhile, those who have grunted up the mountain have strong muscles and calluses on their feet, as well as hours of stories to tell and pressed flowers to show. Anyway, my point is not to tell a hypocritical idealistic parable about climbing a mountain (I know that I sure have a few credit card slips and Polaroids in my pocket!). It just remains clear that drug use is a connection most dance communities share, irrelevant of their philosophies. Some approach it with reverence, some through decadence, but it always has its downside, no matter how profound an experience it might bring to a person. However, spiritual raving is about more than drug use. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Obviously, there are a lot of reasons why people enjoy spiritual dance events and there are facets of this movement which aren't utopian. I will be honest and say that I love a good RAVE--the kind where you can find tribes of speakernauts vibing away against the stacks of pounding woofers. As many detractors of dance spirituality will attest, sometimes you just want to have fun, dag-nabbit! There's nothing quite like 30-foot speaker stacks and a good DJ from out of town along with synthetic enhancements and plastic jewelry to go with it! It's almost worth the $20 to see Rabbit in the Moon or Josh Wink beside huge green lasers, smoke machines, and huge Styrofoam mushrooms. Hedonistic gatherings are a good time and certainly a part of what attracts many of us to raving. It's fun and silly and sometimes it doesn't need to be anything more. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are even those who question the basic validity of taking the Dance community seriously as any kind of cultural movement. I spoke with a DJ in Portland who told me, "Partying is not a religion and to call it one is scary to me. To say that I lead you on a spiritual journey while spinning is not what I do. It's really funny to me to see people put so much emphasis on something so temporary as a rave. I don't want to be a leader of some spiritual movement, I just want to spin records for people who appreciate what I'm doing." The seriousness with which some people take the dance community (such as citing "major global consciousness shifts happening this summer" as motivating factors for dancing and having fun) sometimes seem unnecessarily overboard. I'm guilty of it myself! I was probing a woman with questions while researching this article and she reminded me "not to think about it so hard." Oops! Time to shut up and go dance! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One peril of this "seriousness" is that many of these spiritual dance collectives suffer through terrible civil wars. Everyone involved cares a lot and has a lot of emotional investment in the evolution of the group as a whole. Many collectives are called "Families" and for good reason! The stakes are higher and people get deeply upset by internal group strife. StarSeed is going through growing pains as it tries to live up to the true democratic nature of being a collective. Moontribe is having problems with conflicting views on merchandising: "Will I be able to buy a Moontribe T-shirt the next time I go to get a new pair of JNCOs? Another collective in Portland functioned quite well, until its "leader" got tired and left. The whole group then fell apart, leaving many of the previous members deeply hurt and confused. Whereas commercial promoters have a more business-oriented goals, spiritual dance communities have varied goals, most of which are charged with emotion and difficult to perfectly express. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These collectives also, by nature, tend to be a little bit more exclusive. Peace and love are free, but only if you can find them! This may be seen as a disadvantage, but it ensures that only the most devout of groovers find these dance sanctuaries. Unfortunately, this means that many people who might otherwise get involved simply don't know where to go. If you're used to picking up flyers in your favorite rave store on Haight, how are you going to fnd out where that tiny full moon party is? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The answer is simple: attentive research. If you are going to commercial Massives and find yourself wanting that undefinable "more," start asking around. Ask people you know who have been in the community for a while. Ask on the internet. Ask someone you trust. If you can't find any organizations that have the focus that you want (spiritual or otherwise), then create one! Like-minded individuals are everywhere, waiting to crawl out of the woodwork if you give them the opportunity. Raves are a wonderful gift to our generation because they supply spaces of convergence, arenas (sometimes literally) where we can meet with like-minded--and differently-minded--individuals to share our thoughts, ideas and dreams. Start talking to people at parties and see if anyone else wants what you want. Shout over the bass if you need to, but find other dancers who share your ideas and then build on them together. The key of the movement is to think for yourself and create your own utopia. 
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Run with it and I'll see you at sunrise, on top of the mountain!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi all.  This is a rough week in the world of Ravers.  If you have not yet, please read over the articles that are here linked from the Seattle Stranger.  I don't wish to spread any upset or cause you to bum out on the scene, but I want you all to be aware of this instance and the issue that unfolds.  It's truely depressing, but so important for us to know and understand what risks we take when we go out, when we get down and when we make one bad decision that seemed so right in doing so.  Please send your warmest thoughts and feelings to the victims of this crime and hug the people closest to you.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;...to make money for the underground events of course.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We throw Synesthesia to support WoM.  what else is there?  What do you do to make sure that your underground events are well budgeted and work smoothly?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our last fund raiser was incredibly productive and everyone had such a great time.  We're tossing around the idea of further events.  Any recomme3ndations as to how we can expand our audience, reach new levels of creativity and originality and just have more fun are really appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>So what...?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/3b00c25b-ea6a-4c7e-b050-e233b4e70f18</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So, what's your style of underground?  Where do you like it?  What styles of music?  What kind of environment/people do you kick it with?  Who makes the underground shake for you?  Let us know.  We, as you may have guessed are hoping to raise the collective underground awareness to the people that need it most.  How do you get the word out?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;What are you doing?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Me?  Playing a morning set I hope, libating it up with Sparkle and her mimosas and losing it with Eric because we know eachother well enough to know that we're usually thinking the same thing in the morning.  Those shared glances of total communication and understanding are a rare treat that we enjoy quite often it seems.  And, oh yeah...dancin'...'cause that's what you do.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;So, we have 2 WoM fundraisers coming up at Muddy Waters for those of you that don't know  on February and March 25th.  2 months in a row to earn some scrill for the upcoming season.  So, my challenge to you is to suggest some safe, legal, and not too demanding fund raising ideas.  What would you do if your crew needed money aside from charge a cover?  Any great ideas out there?  Let me know and if we implament them, I'll let you know how it worked.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and for, of course, being what you are...Chill and underground like moles in holes.
&lt;br/&gt;Joshua&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;They are playing again and Monday's show in SB blew my socks off.  Loved it.  DJ Jedi is slick and their bassist was funkin' hard.  Great to see.  If you don't know them yet, get to.  The Pro-Cutionists (sp?) were pretty dope too.  Digable Planets is the group that got me in to Hip Hop. "Food for thought, so get a buffet plate. The lyrics are so fat, you might gain weight" say it all.  See them if you can.&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/e219c9ae-7e9e-4302-aa56-bcd71b3a7c22</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hiya. Wha'd up?  And what's shakin'?  Freshly recruited by the mighty moderator I only want to part on to you a simple message that will ring true everytime I submit to this tribe:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;     I came here to kick it with only the real baby.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hopefully you find me on the real, we'll meet on the real, and we'll be really real.  Really.  Isn't "real" just one of those words for you that when you hear it you're like, "Yeah...that's real."?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;P.S.  please check my beats ans sounds, on the real, at www.waxdj.com/djs/92 (I promise, it ain't the same old shit, cause you know...)&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Please PM me with a request for directions and I'll get them to you as early as possible, meaning most likely Tuesday night or early Wednesday. Should be a blast, the DJ lineup is looking incredible. Let's just say Word of Mouth folks will love this one as will anyone else who goes, so please show up ready to shake your booties and share the love that we all have for the wonderful local underground scene.

      <title>Lets all rasterbate together!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/uss/thread/cbf82ed7-00a0-423c-8f28-535c752ad236</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Rasterbation, not masterbation...  Get your collective minds out of the gutter.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So what the FUCKING HELL IS RASTERBATION?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rasterbation is taking an image, and printing it out a fuckload of paper, then taping them all together to make a dope ass poster of whatever you want.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So get to http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/ and we can merrily rasterbate to our hearts content.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Thanks again for turning up.  What a great response so far.
&lt;br/&gt;I see some new faces.  Here's an introduction from me to you and hopefully you'll take a second to say hi.  A lot of us are good friends already so, say hi.
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Joshua (sAro?)
&lt;br/&gt;I live in SB, CA w/ many of these other lovelies.
&lt;br/&gt;We work with a crew called Word of Mouth that has been throwing undergrounds for over 5 years now.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, what about you?

      <description>&lt;div&gt;And we're already over 20.  That's neato.  I'm stoked.  Thanks for the great response.  I am hoping that this will be a great outlet for promoting and discussing the underground events in our respective areas.  I know that a good many of us are very experienced goers to and throwers of parties, so let's trade some ideas.  It's been stated already, "blow shit up."  Well, that's the plan.  Let's blow up the awareness of the underground and the enjoyment of a party with no strings, no negative egos and no $5 bottles of water.  It's a metaphysical explosion.  That is all.
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you
&lt;br/&gt;The Mismanagement
&lt;br/&gt;Loves and junk.
