FREE ADMISSION

The bad news is that we were going to have it in our loft, but the heat came through and we are shut down for the forseeable future. It Infinite Kaos was hit harder than us, here's the last report from them:

Hey Kidz-

I wanted to keep everyone abreast of the current situation at the head quarters.

This past thursday we were visited by inspectors from the police, fire, health departments along with a building inspector and the city attorney. Apparently they have been investigating us, whatever that means, which includes monitoring our tribe and our emails somehow. It would seem we are a tremendous public nuscence and perhaps even a threat!

The immediate impact- no more gatherings or we will be arrested. That means no spin jams, no nuthin, including the movie we had planned to show this evening.

At this point we don't know exactly what is going to be the fallout. Until we know what we need to do, we can't know whether it is realistic for us to weather the storm.

So i'm letting you know what we're facing and to be ready, when the time comes, to lend support if you can. Whether we stay or go, there will be a load of work involved.

In the meantime, we're searching for alternate spaces to host spin jam. If you have leads of good locations, please reply to this address. We're also searching for a new living/work situation like this one for the various artists in the house, so please pass along any info for that as well.

thanks everyone for your support, its much appreciated. IK will live on.

Peace-
Andres
