Beyond Wonderland Rave Noise Complaints in Oakland
A massive "Beyond Wonderland" rave held in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot generated thousands of noise complaints from residents as far as seven miles away. Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan reported receiving calls from angry constituents at 1:00 AM. John C. Dvorak questions why law enforcement did not enforce decibel level regulations, while Adam Curry criticizes the media for treating the event as a "human interest" story rather than a regulatory failure.
