Not gonna believe this, but the MEMF is off! The director pulled it because of some undisclosed issues with not securing sponsorship this year and a venue for the finale (pssst Carol, wanna festival, sun, talent, politics included free? ;) ). Alton will still play Honkytonks on 14 but alas no workshops. Everyone better come and catch one of the world's most underrated soulful house DJs. Alton's new mix-CD is House Proud and is out through Distance. Essentially it's a label comp. Class, class, class!
