If there's no membership card required then does that mean I can stop
sending my monthly dues in to Alex?

...and honestly, is what little "hype" there is really all bad? it's not
like the man's doing Sum 41 remixes. some of the folks I saw at Matthew
Dear in mpls this weekend don't normally go to 'techno' shows. the fact
that he can get press from outlets that don't traditionally deal with much
electronic music, like The Onion and pitchforkmedia.com, does not make the
music any worse. plus, these new attendees are folks that might start
buying Ghostly and Spectral releases, or show up the next time Traxx plays,
or start attending Cepia's friday weekly event. this is not a closed-off
scene we're involved in, no membership card is required. I think people
sometimes get so lost in what they're doing that they lose sight of the
beauty of exposing people to new music -- it happens to all of us from time
to time.
