Who's doing renegade parties these days? Setting up speakers in non-licensed spots

[travy]

They Happen in Brooklyn all the time. They happen sometimes in Manhattan. They just don't happen in this scene as much as they used to.

I loved them because there was nobody there I knew, so I could just enjoy the actual party and people watch without the constant "whassups" and interuptions. I also just loved the idea of partying in a place that I use to grab cheap chinese food at lunch when I use to work in the Wall Street area in the late 80s. I just loved the idea that some new cats (at the time) was on the scene, not running up in some club, and making it happen. I went for one of their Holloween parties and it was just a really cool crowd that you knew this was how they dressed on the regular...not all ghoulish and costumey (if that make any sense).

it was just different...and I loved it.

Yeah, I feel you on every level. The NYE party they did a while back on Canal street with Harvey was one of the baddest parties in a loooong time. That party was seriously fucking crazy. Phil South does it right man.

It never died in Detroit... mainly because legal venues are way overpriced (with poor soundsystems) and close too early.
