I saw a lot shows in old warehouses, and played shows in old warehouses.

First thing you do is check the exits and make sure tgey are clear.

The Ghost Ship was a firetrap with blocked exits, a poorly constructed interior structure, stairs made of pallets, and extremely questionable wiring.

While we played some sketchy dives, way would we have played that joint.

I used to go to raves occasionally in a place they called the Miracle House. It was in an abandoned, crumbling factory building. Most of the flooring was gone, you'd be dancing on dirt. There was no electricity, I assume they had a diesel generator outside, that or they'd hacked into a power line illegally. No bathrooms, not even portable. Hundreds and on occasion thousands. The only reason it wasn't a firetrap is that the building was largely concrete.

Part of the appeal is that it's in an improbable place, a place where such a thing shouldn't be. The light show, the music, in there? It seemed cool at the time, apparently still does to some.
