I can remember going to an all night rave at the World Beat Center back in 1992-1993.  The party was pretty awesome with plenty of hot girls including some selling ecstasy (the first time I had ever even heard of that drug; no, we didn't buy any) and they played everything from alternative to heavy metal with a bit of ska thrown in for good measure.  There were also a bunch of ravers smoking cigarettes and speed which was also new to my, rather nerdish, social click.

That's my recollection of the World Beat Center; a bunch of early 90's dance music played together with some rave films projected on the wall and young teenagers getting high as hell in the parking lot or on the patio.

As for SOMA, I never knew half of the stuff you folks told me but I believe every word of it.  I do remmeber seeing a Blink concert there in the late 90's but other then that I didn't really go to SOMA.  After I turned 21 (in 1997 and, yes, I'm old) I didn't go to SOMA anymore until recently and I still hated the venue.  There are to many great venues in San Diego to bother going to SOMA as long as you're over 21 other then hitting up the odd Indie show.

The Epicentre is on Mira Mesa Blvd right across the street from my old high school and I can remember when that place used to be the Mira Mesa Public Library, however, the city finally built a larger more modern library around 1993 or 1994 and then no one knew what to do with the old building.  Finally someone got the bright idea to turn it into a community center by day and an all ages music club by night.  I atually have gone there once or twice in the last 6 months or so and I can say they've done alright by the old place and you can indeed see some pretty good shows for a dirt cheap price.
