Another broken up party

Irish Jig ended up getting busted this weekend.

Here is some information taken from a post by a member on Edmnex.us.

ALL ORGANIZERS, PROMOTERS, PARTY KIDS, ETC. - YOU CANNOT THROW RAVES ON NATIONAL FOREST LAND WITHOUT ALERTING THE AUTHORITIES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!

Here's how you get away with partying until noon (or later) on Sunday -
1. Don't call it a rave. Period.
2. Don't promote it like a rave.
3. Use a system to limit who has directions, and have a list of event members who have RSVP'd in case the cops do show up.
4. Have a large number of people camping on site over the whole weekend.
5. Don't play too loud. It sounds a lot better when it's not in the red.
6. Keep it small. If you have less than 75 people in attendance you don't have to have a permit.

Any larger than that and you must get permitted by the National Forest Service (among others).

IF THE COPS DO SHOW UP -
1. Do NOT let everyone scramble. Everyone should go about their business until the cops decide to send everyone home or move along. If the cops do decide to send everyone home, everyone should spend as long as possible picking up trash, breaking down equipment, etc. to show the cops that we're conscientious of our impact on the land and treat it with more respect than we've been shown.
2. Do NOT let anyone get confrontational. If someone does decide to try it, do whatever you have to do to get that person under control immediately. Otherwise, the cops may use it as an excuse to retaliate.
3. Get the cops info as well. Write down everything (name, rank, badge #, etc). Whoever has cameras should be getting video as well as possible at this time.

I agree with the post in full and promoters should understand if you are going to throw a party, to make sure you take all precautions so it does not get busted.

I did not attend this party so I am not sure what all the circumstances were. I just thought I should make a post and another point on why more parties should be held at legal venues.
