saw the whole documentary series last night, covered everything from Hoffman's infamous bike ride, the Beat generation, hippie revolution, disco and the llello, the crack boom, to the present meth dilemma; even included the rave scene from the latter part of the 80's, and showed "the pier", the infamous underground (literally) warehouse at the shipping docks, where Carl Craig and company threw their infamous parties back in '85... the heyday of ecstacy :slayer:

very thorough documentary, had both sides' p.o.v's :plur:

i guess it depends on your point of view, but i am not sure that you know what the word infamous means.

Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This man El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous.

the pier was the birthplace of the american rave scene.

notorious and infamous are synonyms...

your usage of the word could be correct if you meant the parties were seen as having a bad reputation by others, which likely is true to some extent

ha

I managed to sneak a blue superman up here when I moved, a friend from txstate gave me. never took it, I'll likely just nick a very small piece off, dissolve in a suitable solvent and boot it through hplc, if I can get the pump running. see how much is actually mdma
