I pretty much alluded to all this stuff here last year so I am not surprised. I think y'all didn't pick up because I had other ramblings ahead of it. I didn't want to contribute to the pessimism which seems to surround things, the Detroit media seems quite critical at times. But realistically organisers can't go on subsidising the festival with free labour and resources - there has to be some input from outside and support from the city. I think the local media too needs to re-evaluate its role - unwittingly some reports may be scaring off sponsors. Catch-22. It's an amazing feat that the fest has happened the last 2 years. Amazing. I did wonder if it would not be a good thing to tour Movement this year to build its wider profile - something that may help with sponsorship - but I imagine that this year could be a lay over year.
