Hey! I ran into that party. I remember meeting some people from Detroit that day...hmmmmm????? I stayed there, called in sick to work and then went to Mills that night. Perhaps one of the better days in my life. Sadly, I haven't seen anything mentioned about a repeat...it didn't happen last year either. But then the party situation has calmed down in the wake of the crack down, which has just pushed everything into the clubs. That's still going strong. Two weekends ago it was Joel Mull and Cari Lekebusch Thursday, Francois K. Friday and then the Kooky Scientist and Juan Atkins Saturday...There's always something going on, don't worry about that. This weekend there's a fun event, the Boreal party. About 60 people hop into canoes and take a three day journey into the Canadian wilderness....with full DJ rig and PA. Saturday night DJ Chocolate and Lex from Legion of Green Men will entertain on the shore of remote lake, far from civilization. I'm not sure if all the spaces are filled, but if someone's looking for something interesting to do this weekend reply in private. The bus leaves Friday at 12:00. You could leave Detroit at 8:00 and make it in time.
