Here's an account of one I was at with ecib and cgod that got busted.

They came flying in with guns drawn. My buddy said he walked out of the bathroom to a pistol in his chest.

That police officer that said "Don't you have parties in my city anymore. This is my city. And I won't have this any more in my city" was actually Gil Hill, of Beverly Hills Cop fame.

As I was on my knees with my hands behind my head, I saw a cop's badge laying on the floor. I still regret not picking it up. But, i didn't know if I'd be searched.

Good times. I am sure they still happen.
