Reminder To Mind Your Belongings:
Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting partygoers and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Secret Project 2019.

These festivals are a scourge to LA. 1756 Naud is ONE BLOCK from a residential neighborhood. These “raves” pound our homes with noise for hours. This weekend, residents have to give up 18 HOURS of their weekend. This music makes it unbearable to be in our homes. Los Angeles is very corrupt, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pasquale Rotella is engaged in bribes again because that’s the only way these types of events get permitted so close to people’s homes. Our complaints are ignored and we are going to take legal action vs. the city. Hundreds of hardworking people get their weekends taken away just so a bunch of tourists can come pay a corporation to dance.. lame.
Mkay.
