It seems that a high proportion of fans of Detroit electronic music live in the UK and often seem to be the only ones willing or able to organise their own nights to promote this music, so it's natural for there to be a party in London. It's also a lot easier for us to travel to meet ups than it is for US listmembers. Having a 313 party in London is no disrespect to Detroit at all, so why the grumpiness, KJ? It's not sour grapes is it? ;)

But with just over a month to go, nothing's been done about it, and many people who have met each other through 313 shouldn't have to travel to Detroit to celebrate this fact, especially when it's 4000 miles away. -----Original Message----- From: Klaas-Jan Jongsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 August 2004 15:34 To: Brendan Nelson Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) 313 Tenth Anniversary Party I think that London is not the place for a 10 years of [313] party. This list is about Detroit techno, so a 10 years of [313] should be held in Detroit and not in London, Amsterdam, Berlin whatever city. We had 5 years of [313] at Science in Detroit. I recon it shouldn't be to hard to throw a party in Detroit about this?
