I've been attending festivals since they began (somewhere around '79).
there has never been a festival at which admission had been charged.
now assume there's no psychological adjustment--that people like me who
are used to going to hart plaza for free will easily pay up.
there is still a significant architectural adjustment. hart plaza was
designed as an open space venue. how do you change it to prevent free
riders?

Erm, I was just reading an article, and thought it was of some

I took this paragraph
"We also learned that the other main Movement organizer, Kevin
Saunderson,
recently met with Lucius Vasser from the mayor’s office. The question
on
the table is whether the city will allow Movement to charge admission
— an
idea that we have supported since witnessing the embarrassing
spectacle of
May begging for cash from the main stage at last year's festival. We
were
told a decision from Detroit officials is imminent. One thing the city
of
Detroit does not want is for Movement to take off a year and plan its
next
party for 2006. We are staying tuned in."
Quite interesting. Seems like something may happen this year after all!

No idea why I take an interest, not as if I'm ever going to be able to
go.
Must be bored.
I'm also doing ANYTHING to avoid doing ANY work whatsoever today, I'm
sick
of working, bored of it.
Anyway.....
