Agreed. I didn't think I would ever see people body surfing to Mills
*shudder*. It seemed like there were less candy kids (although still more
than I would care for...) and more frat boy/sketchy-red neck types (forgive
the blatantly rude stereotyping...) Other than that, only postive things to
say.....
I think they did a great job with the sound and production on the various
stages. Much better set up than in the past. Only made it to one after
party--the Speedy J et al and it did not dissapoint. Nice vibe and set up
at St. Andrews.
Props to Derrick and his crew for pulling off a great event on such short
notice. I hope he recoops the money he put out.

the Freep article on Tuesday had something like - it seemed like more of an
excuse for kids to cut loose away from parental supervision - (I'm
paraphrasing)
I agreed wholeheartedly with the statement.

I was at the Pontch as well for the second year in a row and it was WAY
more
out of control this year.
Last year, there was a big Judo convention at Cobo and many of those
attendees were in the hotel. Also, all of the National Guard (about 100)
that were helping with border security at the time were staying there as
well. So no matter where you went, you were surrounded by people who could
kick your arse if you acted up.
As for the crowd surfing and moshing, we were discussing this at the media
tent on Monday. I don't remember seeing it quite that bad in previous
years.
Two of the people I was working with were from a local media relations firm
and not familiar with the techno scene. The rest of us were explaining that
we were just as stunned as that is NOT something electronic music fans are
into. I blame it on local teenagers who only came down because there was
"something going on at Hart Plaza".
