[Dynagroove] Circa 97

[Jason Blakemore]

I was home sick as a dog from partying too much (me partying in 96??) wondering "how am I gonna spin at 3am?!"  At around midnight someone called me and told me it was shut down.  

I was party bummed from being excited to play at 3am and part relieved because I was so dope sick!  

Editors note: Taylor was to play before me at 2am  Can you imagine TAO with local djs on the main stage at 2am and 3am?

I was there with my best friend. Luckily neither of us were hurt. I 
remember the cops pointing guns at us as we walked back to the parking 
structure to get our car. They wouldn't let the both of us go up 
together, just me, in the dark with weirdo's running around. I remember 
people throwing stuff off the top of the structure at the cops too.

The best part? We had bought our tickets through Ticketmaster at 
RobinsonsMay in Santa Barbara. We went back and actually got a refund 
because the party was broken up.

Sorry about the quality, but here is a picture of the ticket with the 
words 'refund' written on it. I kept a lot of my old raver stuff, ticket 
stubs, flyers, wrist bands, etc
