Meeting of Styles announced by today (MOS Newsletter) that the events in NYC and LA (USA) not gonna be happen at all:

“Next event: Meeting Of Styles, Montreal (Canada) 29th-31st of August. All systems go. Expect an impressive demonstration of canadian Graffiti-Art. New York City: new owner of the spot out of the sudden has withdrawn the permit. Presently we dont have a spot to realise the MOS in NYC. We are checking for an alternative, but chances are not too good. Chicago: all systems go. Expect a nice and colourfull event with expos and shows. Los Angeles: next negative info. Due to politics and anti-propaganda we didnt get the permit to realise the event. Presently we dont have a spot to realise the MOS in LA, so same as NY, we are checking for an alternative, but chances are not too good. We apologize for the inconvenience, but sometimes its out of our hands. Check the website frequenlty, we might come up with some new infos. Galleries are more or less updated, reviews coming soon.” [TWISTER]

The device also captures information that can establish the brand and age of the paint, helping to secure a conviction.”

This device will be very easy to sabotage. Simply spray into the air and create false alarms untill nobody cares anymore…
