Did I miss that? I didn't see anything about that. Just posted this on another forum: >>> I think they would do a good job if everyone got behind them. I think a lot of the locals (especially the club-active locals) have a lot of respect for them, and while their own bookings have been *somewhat* narrow they have always seemed to have the good of the entire Detroit scene at heart from what I've witnessed. My big question is 'if not them, then who?' and while I think they are probably the best candidate from what little I've seen so far, I know this would be an enormous undertaking and something much larger than they've ever done. But from what I've seen I think it would be a good thing. I think they would do everything in their power to showcase all of electronic music, in Carl Craig's footsteps. There could be a tendential slant towards the Canadian/German scene as is typically represented in their bookings, but I don't believe it would be that great of a slant if they had the support of the entire community. <<< But as Fred said, You gotta give props to Derrick May, KMS and the unsung locals for making it what it should be. I didn't make it last year, but it definitely felt like it should in 2003-2004. Tristan ======= http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
