i have danced to electronic music for 20 years. it has been a source of community, meditation, and exercise for me while being a productive member of society. while dancing to electronic dance music, i learned by high school diploma, three bachelor's degrees with honors, learned four foreign languages, interned at the european parliament, lived in four countries, held many jobs, and started my own small business. i hire californians. i insure californians. my business fosters economic growth and employment in california. i am dedicated to what i do. this is possible because i dance. these events have always been the safest social environment for me to dance and the part of the community. please preserve our constitutional rights. thank you. >> good evening. i want to thank you for having this dialogue. on a personal note, my brother in law and many friends are deejays of electronic music. i can tell you that each one of them care more about their audiences than any performer you will ever meet. the king here today to read a letter

i support electronic dance music. i also support the electronic arts. to me, it is more than just protecting electronic music festivals. it is also protecting other competitions like beat juggling and scratching. they use pre-recorded music and make new music. i also want to restate that closing these town will only hurt the community, making more underground events. these events are not permitted. they do not have medical staff there to help. thank you very much. >> my name is tony. i am here today to talk to you about my experience going to these raves and how i think there are a positive thing for our community and our area. a good environment for people to meet each other. i personally like going to raves because i like being able to walk around and listen to all this music that are playing. some of the music may be a little bit not my type of music to listen to. still, it has a beat and i enjoy going there. it is a lot of people having a good time and meeting each other. i support raves. thank you. [applause] >> i am 22 years old and a resident of

do not get rid of electronic music festivals. you are getting rid of culture that is world renowned, a culture everyone knows is about peace, love, unity, and respect. i am at a loss of words right now. if you do decide to get rid of them, you release an artistic point of view from myself. it is more or less an expression of what we like to do. it is something we would like to get off our chests and to release steam each week. thank you for your time. >> my name is reza, also known as dirty hertz. i have been deejaying and promoting here since 1997. i want to give you a little different perspective. i grew up in iran during the revolution and sought a regime change from the shock to the islamic republic -- saw their regime change from the shah to the islamic republic. music has been part of our culture for centuries. now, music and dance does not matter. people could freely dance indoor and outdoor without scrutiny. after the revolution, hard-line religious clerics banned public dancing for men and women. all the music that repre

josh has been listening to the electronic music for 15 years. he started attending events when he was a teacher and has loved the aspect of many people dancing in unison. he told me that if you feel the music in your heart you all can group together, creating one big organism. two years ago, he was involved in a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the chest down. today, he has an outstanding at two toward life and has still devoted his life to music. he is still asked by nurses in the hospital to turn of the music. he still attends events with family and friends and hired escorts. i realised that hope is something that we ourselves can choose to believe or give up. when you give up hope, you are looking down the people looking up to you. you're throwing away your purpose in life. rather than all of us giving up hope because of what has happened in the past, let us work together to expose the beautiful genre of electronic dance music. >> good evening. i am from students for sensible drug policy from the state university. the electroni

i am in support of electronic dance music. i have met some of the most beautiful accepting people and have met some of my closest best friends at these events, and i believe that if we drive it underground, then it would just be more dangerous for people. we should treat it like a public health issue and make sure there is adequate ventilation, adequate water, emt staff on hand, just in case anything happens, it is better to have these events in an open- regulated way. rather than when no one can know what is going on. thank you. secretary: before we have the next speaker, i would like to call some names. [reading names] sorry. [rename -- reading name] >> good evening, president, inspector, commission, staff. i have to say, this is probably one of the most responsible presentations i have ever heard on this topic, and i think it is very refreshing. i am not sure how it ties into what we're doing specifically in san francisco, but i appreciate the fact that these individuals have -- i went to thank the youth for being here. on

i am here tonight to support electronic dance music and the community. i serve on a board of the burning man collective. we have run shows in the city for the last few years. my main role is event and communications coordinator. first of would like to read some comments from a former board member who is the owner of sunset promotions, who is traveling tonight. he says the key for everyone involved is safety. there is no way to make anything 100% safe. people get hurt at sporting events and political rallies. the giants celebrations were far more overcrowded and unsafe. curtailing a type of music for anything other than abject violence is ridiculous. these events are always peaceful and problems have always been self-inflicted damage. the promoters cannot control what the concertgoers in just before they even walk through the doors. ways to make it unsafe for have been instituted, with emts and ample water supply. what cannot be controlled is people's access to drugs upside. people can do everything right and be blindsided by unforeseen circumstances. my

this is electronic music, and it has never left my heart. this is a part of my role that i share with people. the music i chose. it was the whole experience, and we fell more in love with it together. i became part of the scene over one decade ago. the moment i walked in, i knew it was made for me. peace, love, unity, respect, and responsibility is our mantra. i have witnessed a lot, the good, bad, and the ugly. this is our culture and way of life. we come together in peace. we share our love. we enjoy our differences, and we take care of each other. i have had the honor of being part of this. our culture should never be a crime. it should be celebrated. we rejoice by having these events. rather than vanishing or illegal practices. let us help each other strengthen the community. for us to take part with our neighbors around us. this solidifies our safety and quality. president newlin: 80. sorry to cut you off. next speaker, please. >> oh i am robert, and i am a 50-year-old republican raver, and my sons' moms went to see the beatles at candl

it is known as the super symmetric electron or this electron neutrinos i don't name them. for every known particle there is a cousin call this article. so we are now looking for this article. if they are there it will confirm this idea. if they are not it either means that we don't have sufficiently powerful accelerators to create these particles or it may mean that they don't exist. that is the current state. >> it is a beautiful theory. we don't know if it has anything to do with the real world. the problem with mathematics and physics, the person who -- an english physicist who united quantum mechanics with the special theory of relativity. when he did that in 1928 he looked at the equations. i'm going to sound like brian. maybe another universe. i am talking. what bryan says is we trust the mathematics. that me finish. >> you're putting words in my mouth. i'm saying. mathematics can be a potent guide for what we should consider interesting, what we should investigate further. until observation, until experiment confirms it died down trusted. you can't just observation

lee. >> hello, my name is -- the electronic bill is not enough. we have 99% of the cab drivers -- the drivers, they just know about the street. you know many years ago, the tobacco companies offer you a free cigarette. why did they do that? the got the teenagers to smoke, and finally, they pay more money in their lifetime. they had to pay more with their health, and now, the country has to pay a lot in medical care because people smoke. they gave free cigarettes. but offering the free equipment to the cab companies. the cab companies are greedy. they are taking it, and they send the bill to be taboo -- to be cabdrivers. we have to pay 5%. already, somebody paid it. the credit card does not make more money for us. we aremostly, a $7 charge, " the you $10, and you make two dollars. last year, with the leak, the shutdown, and then they paid a big price. the same thing happened in japan. the tsunami came, and they knew they had to put the water right away, but they did not want to jeopardize the nuclear plant because it was a $5 billion plant. if they

why do you have a problem with the activities of an electron? >> not in a world that's based in realities, i do have a -- ion tine. >> not lowellty and interpretation and all kinds of other things even though he had the vision to actually understand something we call today entanglement and the epr paradox and so on. what i'm asking you is something at a lower level. you have no problem going to las vegas -- well, maybe you do. [laughter] but gambling, you have no conceptual problem. as the guy on the prairie hunting mast done or whatever -- >> yes. >> you have no problem with the wolf or whatever you're hunting going another way and then another time you're chasing an animal, social it's going anoth. that's newtonian in a sense. would you need to see a shrink if wolf went one way -- >> if wolf looked like my mother or father, i might. [laughter] >> you have no problem with it. >> i'm not sure of the point you're making. >> okay. here is my point. you do an experiment, and when you open the box, the electron goes one way. it could be to the right

help us with electronic waybill. please help us. we need your help. thank you. chairman nolan: thank you. secretary boomer: [reading names] chairman nolan: ms. boomer, is this being broadcast to the room? secretary boomer: yes, it is being broadcast to room 408. [reading names] chairman nolan: good afternoon. go ahead. secretary boomer: could you state your name, please? >> i have been in the cab business for 15 years. in the 15 years, and it is seen it go down and down and down. no one cares about us. you guys care about the business. the business means the cab drivers and the companies, not just the companies, not justice system. we need someone to care about us. you say that they work 10 hours a day and sleep 10 hours a day. they do not have time to sleep or go to the bathroom. they have families. they need to eat and survive, and most of the cab drivers are immigrants. we are immigrants, but we are people. we work for them. it is not just for us, because everything we worked for, we spend here. i raise my three kids here. i am so glad. i love my job. i love

they could be considered electronic dance music. i would like to lend my support for the young people. in mind -- in the same vein, i believe our young people have to take responsibility for their actions. they need to look up for one another, facilitate a reduction with regard to drinking, drugs, and violence. if we are not figuring out who we need to grow up to be and fall in love with, and who we are going to date and stuff -- it just robs us of such an important part of our live. all of us did it, even the people who are against electronic dance music. all of us had that, growing up. as female appointees -- as the mayoral appointee, i strongly support the use commission in trying to find good news for people to go to. >> any other commissioners? >> my name is leah lacroix. the commission is a 17-member advisory body appointed by the mayor and members of the board of supervisors. we have few duties -- a few duties that speak to today's hearing. one is identifying unmet needs of san francisco youth and holding a public forum where

being forced on - electronically. -- online electronically. there will be legislation later on that will show how the city is proposing -- they are developing infill forms, which has not been available to the department before, and which kept us out of the process. customers could not fill out forms on line and then submit them. the city is now doing this for the whole city. they will be bringing that on in june. that will help our department in getting some of -- more electronic forms available for the customers online. that will be a big thing for the department. i have also included a current copy of the legislation that we will be taking to the mayor for a proposed name change that the city attorney had rewritten again. if the commission remembers, this was tabled by the former mayor. he had a lot on his plate at the time and did not want to bring this to charter at that time in november. to make charter dead lines, to be on the november ballot, we have to have this in by the middle of may. have this introduced by the mayor and supervisors

if i get rid of my electronics, i would have to buy more electronics and perpetuate the problem. these devices have become a part of our consciousness itself. they change the way we relate to the world. i can not just opt out of my culture. you can live with honor. i will be of on the side of the mountain. i would have no impact on the culture. i cannot live that way. i believe in communicating with people. i need my tools to do it. it is very complex. >> where did you grow up in the united states? >> i grew up in maine on the canadian border. it is the end of the u.s. route 1. there is a sign and the road ends. >> what did your parents do? >> my mother was a meat packer. my father works for the veterans administration counseling, in those days, a vietnam veterans. today, he is busy counseling veterans from our wars. he is planning on retiring. there is so much work that he thinks there is no way he can retire. >> how long did you live there? >> i lived in fort kent until i was 13 or 14. then we moved down to central maine, which is still very remote. compared to northern maine,
