Ok guys, there is a lot of confusion and misinformation going on here.  Lets at least get some facts straight:

1. 1419 Washington Ave and Love Power are buildings owned by an actually-not-very-rich Indian landlord who has rented the upstairs of Love Power to a church group for their use for the past 10+ years at a very low rate, and rented the apartments in 1419 to a group known as the "1419 artists' collective" for the past 2+ years.  He pays more in property taxes than he makes from owning these buildings.

2.  The artists' collective known as 1419, who actually resided in the building, were not involved in any way with the planning of the after-hours parties that occurred there or in Love Power.  The events thrown by the artists' collective included puppet theater, small acoustic concerts, and other experimental theater events (not held in the middle of the night).  The loud parties held in these spaces were thrown by independent promoters who paid the landlord rent for the use of the space, as well as for the use of his employees to run the (legal) bars.

3.  Although afterbars are always illegal (and only actually occurred once to my knowledge), both 1419 and the love power building are covered under a full liquor license held by the Jewel of India restaurant, which allows them to cater banquets in these buildings.  My understanding is that bars run by paid Jewel of India employees, as long as ID's were checked and the bar closed at 2, would be considered legal operations under their catering license.

4.  The city has made no allegations about drug use at these parties.  The allegations are made by the members of the 1419 artists' collective (who lived in the 1419 building) against the people who rented the building from their landlord, who they are angry with for throwing parties late at night while they were trying to sleep, and making their home kind of unlivable in general (And these are admittedly legitimate complaints, although I kinda think the artists are shooting themselves in the foot by publicizing this whole thing since no one seems to understand the facts - what will the collective be called once it moves out of the 1419 building? They will be forever associated in peoples' minds with all the things that went on there, even if they had no part in those events).

5.  Of course people did drugs, like they do everywhere.  It's not like drugs were sold at the bar or done on stage.  And I definitely never saw any public sex.  I don't know why a member of the artists' collective made those allegations.

Ok, now that we've got the facts down, "the Truth hurts," you sound like an actual Christian, which is silly, because God doesn't exist.  If you are offended by a DJ with "666" in his name, you arguably lack the critical thinking skills to understand very much in this world. Satan isn't real either, but it can be funny to reference him to offend silly Christians like you who think that he is.

Although I've enjoyed myself at one or two of the art collective theater events last summer at 1419, I found the afterparty scene there (held by independent promoters) wasn't really for me.  It was too dark and crowded, smelled like beer, the drunk people could be obnoxious, the music was too loud, and I'm not really a night-owl anyways.  Walking through the building to visit a friend who lived in one of the apartments got increasingly difficult at some of the higher-security late-night events that were thrown there.

That said, for people who like to stay up really late and dance, I think those parties could be a very beautiful thing, and I'm not going to begrudge anyone the right to a good time.  Even if it wasn't my scene, I appreciate that the promoters put a lot of hard work into these parties just for the sake of giving people a place to party.

In the end, I hope the artists' collective finds a space to pursue their vision, and the late-night scene finds a place to party, and that everyone keeps on having a good time.

Party on, party people.
