The term SCRubber was coined when Phil and JBondy were scouting locations for Elevation2 and needed a name to describe list subscribers. ODP Open Deck Party. ODPs take place indoors and outdoors, in homes and in small warehouses. People often make food to share or barbque. Sometimes the DJ timeslots are organized in advance but often the turntables are just first come first served.
DJ sets are usually short unless no one else is waiting to spin.
These four ideals are often touted as the elements that make raves more positive and life affirming than other kinds of parties or club scenes. Used as a courtesy in the subject line of posts to SCR to indicate a message that is not, strictly speaking, about raves. Socal-Raves is a discussion group and a community of people that share common interests. Sometimes various people organize socal-rave parties to get everyone together. As far as the actual list goes, it is currently hosted on a machine owned by Dan Mick, and will soon be on its own server again.
