Well I come to you with a heavy heart to say that these raves at Pharaohs are going to continue. There is one slated for tonight, April 18th, to celebrate 4/20. Most think of this as a celebration of the drug movement. 420 used to be the police call number for a drug related incident. I don't know when it happened but apparently 4:20 am/pm is the official time to smoke weed, marijuana for those that don't know. So following suit 4/20 is the day that is slated for smokers to rip there brains until they can't see straight anymore. The promoters of this rave, for some reason feel the need to throw one of there raves celebrating this. The stupid thing is 4/20 is for weed smokers, and there is a small amount of smoking done at raves. The majority or the drugs done at raves are of the hallucination type. Acid, LSD, X, Special K and Shrooms. All of these are thoroughly enjoyed at raves. You don't have to smoke anything, all you need is an open mouth. You can also conceal these a lot easier than say an 1/8th of weed. X and Special K to the untrained eye look like Altoids, and anyone who lived through the 70s knows LSD comes in all kinds of forms. The reason these types of drugs are so popular at these kind of events is for one reason. Image enhancement. When your rolling on a combination of X, shrooms and possibly acid and you walk into a rave its like paradise. You can feel the music pumping through you, the lights and the environment feel like they are dancing around you. Your skin actually becomes more sensitive, While your out dancing having a good time, rubbing up against others your brian is getting stimulated even more. Do you think weed would do this to you. No, it doesn't.
I personally know. I've sampled everything from homegrown kush that was almost florescent to pharmacutical grade marijuana. None of these had any hallucinationistic effects on me. Granted it wasn't laced with anything, PCP or Angeldust. The main point I'm trying to say is that there are so many worse things going on at raves than a few teenagers smoking weed in their car before a rave. There are young girls being exploited by much older men that have access to drugs. Whos watching out for those girls. The girls that take something from a guy they think is cute, and next thing they know they wake up in a parking lot of Home Depot in Banning. Those poor girls hhave no idea what was done to them over those 2 days. You have to prepare for the worst and hope all of the STD tests come out negitive.
The thing that disguists me about this whole situation is that the raves are still being promoted as "All Ages" but they swear that thhey are going to be carding at the door for 18 and over. Basically the only thing they are worried about is someone being able to pay the entrance fee, thats all they want, the $45 bucks in their hand. I wish there was a single person on the Redlands Counsel that had a backbone, and would shut down the conditional permit that they are working under. They have to stand up for our youth, it makes me sad that they are only about their little pet projects, and progressing their agendas. They care nothing of the taxpayers in this city and their children. What would happen if one of there daughters were one of the girls missing for 2 days and found in Banning not knowing what happened. The raves would be shut down in an instant. But since it wasn't their daughter they care nothing about it. I have been emailing the counsel once a week, and still no answer. I will keep pressing on. Until then, GOD BLESS AMERICA, we all know she needs it.

New news
Well for all that have not been keeping up with what's going on at Pharaoh's, it's a giant pissing match. One guy says he owns it, and will not allow the Raves. While another man says he has the legal power to keep having the Raves. Since the dreaded rave for Valentine's Day, there has been one rave every two Saturdays. So far there have 3 more raves. Three more opportunities for young women to be preyed upon by much older men wielding drugs and alcohol. I have written four emails to this great cities City Council, with no response. The Sun and The Redlands Daily Facts have put this issue on the back burner, but I feel that it would be irresponsible to let it be put there.
Another great Redlands faux paz is the lack of recycling bins for apartment homes. If the citizens of Redlands are responsible to recycle their household items shouldn't people living in apartments, condos and townhomes also do their part? If you look at an average home on a full acre lot, I know I wish I owned a full acre also, there are maybe five people living in said house. Now take a full acre or apartment homes. You can fit close to twenty units in that same space. Now those twenty units are most likely going to be one person living in them, even if they did my theory would still apply. Say each unit lived three people. Three people per unit at twenty units is sixty poeple. Sixty people living in a space where five were living before. Fifty-five more people creating waste. Now imagine how much recycling these extra fifty-five make. Now the city makes a huge hulla-balloo about homes and their recycling habits. They give you larger recycling bins and smaller trash bins to set out for pick up. They care about how those five people seperate their trash. On the other hand does the city care about those fifty-five extra people? Do they care that they are filling the landfills with items that can be recycled and sold for the city to make a profit? For those of you know don't know what happens to all that trash in your recycling bin after it leaves your house, let me enlighten you. The city takes your recycling to a facility where they serperate paper, plastic, glass and other items. The items are they compacted, smashed and often melted down and sold to China. China is where most of our cardboard, recycled bags, and other recycled items come from. Basically we sell them compacted paper and they sell an American company cardboard. Households become part of this great worldwide economy, and help ease this dyinng, choking planet. Wow, not a bad rant if I saw so myself ha ha. Needless to say many, many emails will be sent to local, state and federal represntatives on my behalf to see if there is anything that can be done about this.
On a lighter note, my wife is super close to giving birth to our little baby girl. In three weeks, if she makes it that long, we'll be getting one of those 3D ultra-sounds. Hopefully she isn't too squashed in there. Well tomorrow's is already Thursday, which means I get to go on my 12 mile bike ride to meet my wife at choir practice. Good night and God Bless America.
