After a five-year run, the weekly 18-and-up drum-and-bass night "Trauma" will throw its last Thursday night party tonight at El Rincon. In an effort to snazz up the image of the Mission dive, the bar's new management has decided to stop doing 18-and-over events and have promoters pay for their own security.It seems the club was overdue for some changes.
