RAVE Act culture jam

Where: In each and every city with more than 5000 population.

Who: Anyone of any age who disagrees with repressive laws such as the RAVE Act can participate.

How: Hundreds and hundreds of flyers announcing bogus raves at bogus locations and non-existent addresses, suddenly appear everywhere in town, tacked up, handed out in clubs, on windshields, etc. These would be announced for Catholic high school gyms, the local County Park shelters, vacant warehouses, VA clubs, middle schools, meat-packing houses, corporate farmland, restaurants, bowling alleys, old folks' homes, suspiciously large and ostentatiously wealthy houses, buildings slated for demolition, corporate timberlands, state parks, popular night clubs who have been rude, etc. Leave stacks at the laundromat, or on the tables in the college cafeteria, all anonymously.

Create bogus web addresses and e-lists set up by the thousands also announcing bogus, non-existent raves.

Now, as for actual parties themselves:

Complete moratorium on all printed promotional material, hard copy or electronic, including websites and e-lists. back to the underground, strictly underground, everything word-of-mouth. Parties will be called family reunions, picnics, whatever, but absolutely nothing suggestive in any way of techno, DJs, black light, bass, colorful clothing, phat gear, etc. The return of the old-fashioned "phone tree". Personal invitations only. Everyone vouches for who they bring with them.
