KAWS CERVEZA.

ELECTRIC DAISY CONTROVERSY.

Major controversy after 15-year-old girl dies of a suspected drug overdose while attending this years Electric Daisy Carnival in LA. Managers of the Coliseum are now conducting a thorough investigation as to why this little girl was allowed into the rave when 16 was the minimum age for entry. With over 200 medical emergencies, 65 arrests (9 being minors), and 1 death, government officials are using these stats to move on a motion to ban ALL rave parties/function affiliated with dance music. It really sucks that we all may a have to pay for irresponsibility of others, when responsibility is not that hard of a concept to grasp. 18 or over to party should be the rule, adults only, there for eliminating all drama concerning minors in a 180,000+ party environment.

Peltz explains:

"You know what’s interesting about these paintings? That since Star Wars took place “A Long Time Ago”, much longer ago than our Earth and etcetera, in painting these characters in Victorian-Era garb, they’ve actually been modernized. Is this the opposite of turning a brand new computer into a steampunker?"
