Re: Tijuana

Theres no DnB in Tijuana man, trust me I live here, everytime I want to go to a D&B party I go to San Diego or LA.

But If things come out as expected, the D&B situation here will change

Re: Tijuana

aww there has to be at least one party in tj - a monthly or something

i mean if there are dnb djs there's gotta be a night - not in plaza de zapatos or anything?

what about ensenada? rosarito? tecate?

are there any mexican dnb message boards?

Re: Tijuana

its not tj but i believe basscon will be there in august..

Re: Tijuana

let's make some nik

Re: Tijuana

yes. there will be many dubs played.

Re: Tijuana

In regards to the "scariest place" remark, there are scary places in L.A. and San Diego too. I walked a short distance in the neighborhood around Fais Do Do once on a Databass night and I was getting mad dogged by people standing in their own front yards.

Support for d&b in Tijuana is a fraction of a percent of what you find in San Diego. The dance floors in drum and bass rooms at all events I attended there (Futura and Maquiladora de Suenos at the Jai Alai building) were filled only with Americans. The only d&b DJ i know of who's from Tijuana is Ivan (System Freeze), and I don't think he ever plays there.

Nevertheless, here are links to a couple of good resources there for the arts:

Re: Tijuana

I think the satanic Disneyland comment was directed more towards the law enforcement/judicial system than the neighborhood club bystanders, but my opinions could be influenced by personal experience w/ TJ cops.

Re: Tijuana

fine TJ isn't ALLLL scary... mostly La Coahuila

Re: Tijuana

nik - being that i live two minutes away from the border. . along with being an x-tj-hoodrat. . . LOL. .. of all my years of living nearby and partying there. .I hadn't really heard of any dnb parties there. I did hear rumors of system freeze playing out there - but not truly sure if it was dnb related. A lot of the kids there are of course into rock en espanol. . . along with what is a new name to me. . . "psycho"

There isn't anything wrong with starting a movement!

Re: Tijuana

well then maybe this is just me being too idealistic but if we live SO CLOSE to tj and there aren't any dnb parties there, why not start something up so like every 2 months or something there is a dnb event?

who would be interested in getting involved? esh? cathode? .....

why not start a partnership with our neighbors to the south and get something going? even if current support from mexicans is low i think some of us would go to mexico once in a while to hear some dnb, right?

it would for sure be 18 and up with a bar

and system freeze if you see this please get in contact

thanks to everyone!

Re: Tijuana

And it is going to be even harder to encourage young americans to party south of the boarder in a couple of years when a passport is required to go in or out of mexico. The boarder crossing agent notified us of this change when we came back thru last weekend.

Re: Tijuana

Proposed Timeline for Implementation for Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Requirements


The travel initiative requirements will be rolled out in phases, providing as much advance notice as possible to the affected public to enable them to meet the terms of the new guidelines. The proposed implementation timeline is as follows:

December 31, 2005 – Passport or other accepted document required for all travel (air/sea) to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
December 31, 2006 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
December 31, 2007 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings.

Re: Tijuana

^^^ that means to me we better get some parties going before we need passports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Tijuana

It acutally hasnt passed the public opinion phase and still has not been completely approved for implementation (per the times article I read). I cant see the point behind it personally.

Re: Tijuana

I personally feel everyone should have a passport. The last stats I heard about Americans having passports is 8 percent of the population has one. In Europe it was almost 90 percent. That was a few years ago though, so if someone knows the updated numbers shout it out. I don't think that will hinder someone from going to Mexico. It is just another form of ID, like your Driver License.

Re: Tijuana

i'm more than down nik, let me know what you have in mind... and i'm sure aaron is cool with it... :D

Re: Tijuana

a lot of people try to use passports as forms of ID in the US, but most retailers won't allow them from US customers, only international.. which is wierd i guess.. maybe they think if u live in the U.S. and have a passport you should also have government issued ID...?

btw I have been to Watts.. my sister lives there because she's going to school. i used to live off MLK Blvd in Oakland too... i just think the fact that you need to bring lots of extra bribe money to TJ in case the federales decide you're doing something "immoral" helps disuade me from going. i know a lot of people who have gotten rolled there for doing nothing, people driving down to Rosarita who have been shot at, people who've gotten their wallets jacked at knifepoint..
also i find it hard to go down and feel good about spending money and partying when there is so much poverty EVERYWHERE..

Re: Tijuana

i think birth certificate and abtract of birth- or even a copy of birth cert.(if notarized) will still be accepted, correct me if i'm wrong...

au contraire

when americans go to mexico to spend money we are infusing millions of dollars into the mexican economy that would not go there if we didn't go to mexico

Why should we need passports if we want to visit for less that 72 hours? Because everyone in Europe has them? I dont get the logic there. IMHO, we should be able to duck across the boarder (MX or Canada) for short recreational visits less than 3 days. I cant see how requiring passports is going to curb terrorism - if someone is smart enough to aquire weapons/drugs/etc and attempt to cross and international boarder, they are going to be able to aquire a fake passport. As far as MX is concerned, this is going to destroy a large portion of thier tourism. College kids and weekend travelers to rosarito/ensenada/puerto nuevo are not very likely to go through the hassle and expense of getting a passport.

and djesh... birth certificate is CURRENTLY accepted, like a DL, to go in and out of MX and Canada, the new laws will require a full blown passport.

Re: Tijuana

Can't you get a passport at the post office for like $5?

Re: Tijuana

Throwing parties in Mexico has a whole series of issues you don't contend with in SD. At least thats what somebody told me.

Re: Tijuana

Also you would need a passport if you ever wanted to go to London. When I went to Europe getting a passport was a realitively painless opperation. It does cost a little bit of money. But you ALREADY need a passport or tourist card to travel to mainland Mexico. Being able to just roll into Baja was a concession made by Mexico in order to encourage American tourism into the area.

Re: Tijuana

yo largehuman - what sort of issues?

Re: Tijuana

My passport cost me about $100 last year. $10 of that was for a picture. They are now actually accepting digital photos which you can provide.

Re: Tijuana

Hey a D&B party in Tj would be great, I love the vibe of the parties in SD & LA, both I would love to have something here in Tj.

Even tough support for D&B is small here in Tj compared to the "Trance and House scenes", there still a lot of people that dig D&B but doesnt know it, I'm saying this because I've played some D&B at some friends parties and everytime people responded well (with some exceptions of course from some of the trance and house fans), But there are a couple of friends of mine that really dig this music and want to make some parties, one of them was talking to one of the guys from Pendulum, but I dont know how that turned out.

Anyways if anyone is interested in helping us to develop the D&B scene here it would be great, my friends and I are also interested in incorporating "turntablism" and hip hop to our future events ( If they'll ever take place)

Peace

Re: Tijuana

skylab- i was referring to that passport/acceptable document thing, i know you can(currently) use a photocopy of a birth certificate to go to mainland mexico if it's notarized, my girlfrend did that for acapulco... i was wondering if it was going to be strictly passport after these laws are passed? if so that doesn't seem too unfair... however a passport for tj is a bit intrusive

[ djesh - 26 Apr 2005 22:27 ]

Re: Tijuana

Yeah, maybe in the 80's a passport was cheap, but less than a year ago mine was about 80 bucks. Not that it's an exorbitant amout, but I'd consider it an issue if I was planning to go to a 20 dollar party in TJ.

Re: Tijuana

TJ's great for cheap booze and cheap hookers, I dunno about a drum & bass scene. But hey if you want a pass port Im really good with photoshop maybe we can work a deal or something. Or if your trying to get back over from the other side, my cousing pepe he has a van and can help you with that. Besides that tj's great if you wanna get taxed by some crooked ass cops for being a drunk ass tourist... I could go on

Re: Tijuana

HA! Pepe....

Re: Tijuana

it's all about going to TJ at like 8 in the monring, getting drunk for breakfast and leaving by 11 or 12

Re: Tijuana

i haven't been back there ever since they stopped selling the fort dodge

You couldnt possibly be serious... what happens when they run the passport? Can you say federal crime?

Re: Tijuana

i've been to tijuana 4 times in the passed month or so, never heard of any dnb being down there. we've just been going to adelitas, anyone know what that is? haha

Re: Tijuana

^^^
Ive been begging my GF to go down there with me and let me get a 45 min blowjob while she watches (ive never had any sort of experience with a hooker). I think it is a reasonable request...

Re: Tijuana

^^^ adelita's...a bottle of Corralejo tequilla for $25...pharmacia...then back across the border, can't go wrong (always leave your weed in SD)

nah i said that cause i heard it was named that because there used to be a lot of shoe stores there, not because i am ingorant of the subtleties of the spanish language

Re: Tijuana

there are plenty parties in TJ.

You just gotta know who to talk to.

Re: Tijuana

Skylab- I think a very reasonable request. I think she should pay for it.
