SEA SLUG CALLED JAMULOUS

All my life, i never thought that I would have you
All my days, I never thought youd be taken away
All I want, is to have you in my arms
All I want, is to save you from the harm

Cause I saw those jaws swim by
From the corner of my eye
And they had you…

It made me want to die
But I knew what I had to do…
I had to save you..

Seaslug called jamulous
Went down into the abyss,
Maybe never to return again
But he thought it doesn’t matter now
Ive got to save her somehow
Even if I don’t make it out alive…

He goes down, into the briny deep
He goes down, to where the monsters never sleep
All my days, I never thought it’d end like this
Give my life just to have your kiss

Then I saw the glowing light
from the monster in the night
it was the one

went ahead with all my might
I was ready for the fight
The battle had begun

Seaslug called jamulous
went down into the abyss
Maybe never to return again
But he thought it doesn’t matter now
Ive got to save her somehow
Even if I don’t make it out alive

Gotta make it out alive

like death, the monster bites
with daggers of teeth and light
Like wind, the seaslug fights
With such poise and might
Watch out

(epic battle of seaslug with sea monster, represented by guitar solo)


Seaslug called jamulous
Rose up out of the abyss, oh
With his lover in his arms again, oh
he said “your all that matters now
I knew id save you somehow
Even if I didn’t make it out alive.
hewett the mule, lol

"Disorderly Events" ordinance meeting in Chico City Hall

****I would like to add that

1) who is going to decide if your band is punk/hardcore/metal or if people are actually "moshing"?

2) new events ordinances to discourage dancing are bad (ie. allowing the PD to arrest people if they refuse to stop dancing).

3) if you love Chico, please read this closely and get all your friends to go with you to the meeting on Tuesday, July 17th, 6:30 pm at the Chico Council Chambers, 421 Main Street (the place downtown with fish fountain out front).

PLEASE REPOST****


The city council last Tuesday introduced Chapter 9.40, the "Disorderly Events" ordinance to the Chico Municipal Code.
It is supposed to provide "protection from unsafe behaviors likely to cause injury to persons or property or provoke a violent reaction from another person."

The CPD and city attorney's office have seen fit to include a section on slam dancing/moshing/stage diving.

On page 3, section B: "A disorderly event is an event at which a person or persons... Make rough bodily contact with other persons or engage in 'slamming' in which participants collide their bodies into each other or... Launch themselves from a stage or similar raised platform into a crowd."

"All persons attending a disorderly event shall immediately disperse upon the order of a police officer. All persons not domiciled at the location of such event shall then immediately leave the premises. No person shall fail or refuse to obey and abide by such an order."

Under the Penalties section:
"A person violating, or causing a violation of, any provision of this chapter is guilty of an infraction. A separate offense is committed for each and every hour or part of an hour during which any such violation is committee or caused or permitted to continue. Each offense is punishable separately from every other offense. This punishment shall be
