Hey this all is just so typical and sad, makes me wonder if maybe carol marvin was the right person to do this festival, you know a professional event person. I really respect the artists that tryed to make it work, but let's face facts good Detroit music sounds better in a sweaty dirty wharehouse than it does at 3 in the afternoon with spun out midwest ravers. My favorite part of the festival was the afterparties and then it was the families and detroit locals old people, misc. non dance music people that would come and get down.
I have been thinking you know about going to Mutek and this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for detroit. I would rather hear trendy minimal than have to be at a festival planned ten days in advance or some variance of that. I think the festival should move to Japan. tom, only slightly less abrassive.
