Went to Dolores Park today around 3:30 PM and happened upon a flash rave. I asked around and found out it was for a birthday party. A largely high school crowd with all the usuals in attendance: Hula-hoop man, Candy Kid, and the Goblin King of course.
At around 4:30 things took a perilous turn. The music silenced, and when the crowd finally stopped groaning we saw a number of paramedics marching up the 19th street entrance. Amidst the revelry a teenage girl had ODed, and was sprawled on her back across a blanket. Three paramedics set to work with a defibrillator and a stomach pump, and after 11 of the most gut-wrenching minutes I’ve had in an era, she came around. We last saw her loaded into the ambulance, which drove away North on Dolores. Who needs a drink?
Anyone else see anything?
She was obviously a plant, placed there to add credit to the anti-Dolores Park fun patrol! Is there nothing these parents in Noe valley (and else where) wont do to protect their children from realizing they are being raised in a big city.
pretty massive response, 2 park ranger cars, a couple of cops, firetruck and then the ambulance….normally there’s an SFFD ambulance, or two even on 18th in front of the high school, I guess not today….

Amateurs always make us look bad
Not funny. This girl almost died.
Cops, always ruining everything. Why can they just let people have fun without always butting in?
Good point douche, they should have just let her die. Think before you post.
I just saw a joke fly over someone’s head.
Ravers/burners always ruining everything. Decompression was a month ago.
Damn, I was right in the area and when the music stopped I just figured they were having technical problems, like a failed generator. (Ha,not paying much attention I guess..) When the music came back up there was a fat cheer.
woah, I saw all the commotion out my window but couldn’t tell what was happening. I hope she learned a lesson and will be o.k.
