None of these facts is in dispute. It's how they were presented, partygoers say, that gave a false impression of what went on. The Daily News ' Nov. 2 report reads like a firsthand account of a party in hell. The Daily News also seemed bent on characterizing the party as a rave, even when its own reporting contradicted that conclusion. It was more or less an underground party.
Rave turns mad.
The Inquirer 's report, also on Nov. 2, was more balanced but was misleading in other ways. While technically correct, this gives the impression that people arrested or others were brandishing these weapons. The weapons were found in an apartment in another part of the building. The Police Department's public affairs office also failed to respond. Bands like his and the seven others he invited to play at Killith Fair often have a hard time getting gigs, he explains.
