Atlanta Psytrance invites you to experience,
the first in a series of ground-breaking parties for 2006:

TETRAGRAMMATRANCE: Night Of Passage
A sacred, magical journey through Psytrance...

With your local, AtlPsy DJs:
===================

· PYITE (AtlPsy)
Pyite is an Atlanta native with more than 4 years of DJing
experience. After spending a year in the massive Japanese
psytrance scene, he is eager to contribute to the rapidly
growing Atlanta scene. His style varies from funky morning
sets to dark, mind-bending stomp-a-thons.

· PUSKARA (AtlPsy/Eschatone)
One of Atlanta's secret weapons is ready to be unleashed on
unsuspecting trancers foolish enough to wander onto the floor
unaware. Holding to a higher standard of musical quality and
composition in his track selection which results in a fuller punchier
set. Let the music speak for itself...

· MICHAEL CURRAN (AtlPsy/T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi)
A dj of over 10 years, Michael has performed at numerous indoor
& outdoor events throughout the southeast. As a resident of Asheville
NC's Touch Samadhi psytrance collective, Michael has earned a
reputation for well-programmed sets that span the spectrum from
the dark and dirty to full-on funk and all points in between.

· MOKSA (AtlPsy/T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi)
Emerging out of the mist, Moksa delivers pounding psychedelic
jolts that are irresistible foot stompers. It's this cloud of mystery
and suspense that captures the mind and commands the body.

Hi!

I started a Eros Society Tribe on Tribe.net...I need 2 more people with Tribe accounts to join it so that it will show up in the search engine and lists. You can find the tribe right now by going to my tribe.net account and then clicking on it from my lists of tribes I am a member of.

I love this service, it is like craigslist/lj and myspace married on the westcoast and had a hip baby.

Oz knows about the Tribe and is down with it, it is a good way to spread the word to more like minded people.

Thank you,

Blue

Hi,

I helped write the article at Wikinews - according to the police, the
promoter had a permit with the local health department, but did not
have a mass gathering permit. The promoter states that he did have the
permit, and that when he produced it to the cops, they tore it up in
front of them. As someone else said, there are two sides to the story.
In any case, the promoter spent thousands of dollars on permits, they
had EMTs and security, trash cans, and portajohns. It certainly wasn't
a fly-by-night operation.

Furthermore, the statute for the supposed permit that was needed reads as thus:

13-4-2-1. Required.

No person shall permit, maintain, promote, conduct, advertise, act as
entrepreneur, undertake, organize, manage, or sell or give tickets to
an actual or reasonably anticipated assembly of two hundred fifty or
more people which continues or can reasonably be expected to continue
for twelve (12) or more consecutive hours, whether on public or
private property unless a license to hold the assembly has first been
issued by the County Commissioners.

This A. is obvious anti-rave legislation and B. doesn't have a
snowball's chance in hell of standing up in court, and I will explain
why. In order to get the permit, one must first contract
Porta-potties, dumpsters, medical professionals, etc. All of which
comes under "promote, conduct, advertise, act as entrepreneur,
undertake, organize, manage." clause. Meaning that in order to get the
permit under this ordinance, you must first violate it.

I've been following this all night,
and I've been in touch with the Utah rave scene, including the DJs and
some of the people in the video. I can answer any questions you have
on it.

Week of August 15, 2005
The contemplation for this week is:

At every moment, remember that your goal is to progress in yoga. With practice and discrimination, set your mind to it.

-- Swami Muktananda

How can we teach anyone to hate someone else?

"I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong."
