Ravers Fight Back Against NBC 10

Just two days after NBC 10 exposed — honest to God — a rave where people were drinking, smoking marijuana and taking “the designer drug ecstasy” (gasp!), there has now been an apparent change of heart.

Last night, Lu Ann Cahn allowed ravers to “defend their way of life” to the NBC 10 Investigators, and it was somehow about 500 times funnier than the first one. The first report went undercover at the Tru Skool Rave in a basement rented out by a church in West Philadelphia. The building’s a charter school during the week; administrators say they have to clean up condoms every Monday morning. And a mother who has her face blacked out says raves are bad!

In tonight’s report, party promoter Mickey Fronick waxes about how ravers are marginalized:

“We’re forced to go into venues like this because the mainstream doesn’t accept it, and it sucks,” Fronick said.

NBC 10 also reported that the ravers said it’s about the music and the love, and not the drugs — which means this is one boring rave scene.

    “the ravers said it’s about the music and the love, and not the drugs”

    yea right, I’ve been to this place, if you believe that I also have a bridge for sale.

    Raves are one of the few places where everyone accepts everyone else for whomever they are, unlike most places where people constant judge you. It’s not about drugs because people can take drugs anywhere. It is about thhe music and love, but it’s really about the freedom to be yourself without others judging.

    If I go to a rave, will girls not care that I want photos of Alycia Lane in a bikini and sleep with me anyway?

    If you go into any “legal” club or party in Philadelphia, you are just as likely to find drugs. I’ve been in the bathroom of what was voted the “safest club in philly” and saw girls doing coke. You can’t keep it all out, and so long as measures are being taken to prevent their widespread use and sale, that’s all you can expect.

    Raves are nothing more then an excuse to do drugs and listen to trance music. It’s the ONLY place you can be accepted “for who you are” and “not judged?” LOL — go to a furry convention. Those people make drugged out ravers in silly costumes look normal.

    This is nothing new. The mother featured should deal with her kid’s issues not the rave. The rave didn’t get her child to take E or do any other drugs.

    There is not a club in the city where drugs cannot be found. If that’s what you are looking for, and it’s obvious that is what channel 10 was, you *will* find it.

    The most ritzy clubs in the city have coke lined up on the bathroom toilets.

    Stop kidding yourselves.

    If you don’t know where your kid is - that is YOUR problem - not a club or an event’s.

    I can’t afford the cover charges for those ritzy clubs. I’d rather go to a cheap rave in a basement where the drugs are oh so much more plentiful, and everyone accepts your use of them.

    Drugs are all over, though. I was at some dude’s house once and there were some drugs there. Why would they waste their time shutting down raves when that dude had drugs in his house? Bastards, all of them.

    LOL. I just watched the vids. I wanna go to the “pimp and ho event”!

    Have you heard about that liquid depressant that they are selling at all the clubs. Some people it makes really sick, others just lose their minds. What worries me is how it impairs judgment. It’s called something like allowcohal. Sound scary.

    Glad my friends dance to house music all night instead of that trance stuff.

    If you have a bridge for sale, i might like to buy it :)

    Depending on the people going there, majority of us enjoy being able to go for the music and the company of our friends. The underage kids that come, cant go anywhere else in Philly to see a great dj perform. It’s sad to know that raves are being exposed in such a negative way due to the abuse of drugs for the minority of kids in there.

    If you want to do drugs, your more then welcome to go to Adam, the bridge sellers home, and share a joint with him.
