Well, my phrase is slightly out of context there. I wasn't saying I wanted
this to only be for those who already knew what was up. Rather, my point
is, I'd much rather see locals, people from the community, checking out the
music and learning about something they never existed. A diverse
crowd--something that a crowd made of mostly ravers is not. It seems to me
that if the event leans towards the rave thing it will drive people away who
are turned off by that atmosphere or aura. How many people in the community
are going to look at this year's poster and want to go? Honestly I don't
care how many ravers go I just would like for that to be simply one
demagraphic and not the predominating one. I also feel that they ought to
have some of the deeper/jazzier R+B and some high quality hiphop (I think
the hiphop in the last 2 years went over well personally), as these will
draw out more local people without compromising the vision and quality.

is that really a bad thing?
if one of them went away with a new appreciation of techno, isn't it worth
it?
i now techno gets accused of elitiism, but do we really want to exclude
people?
