I'm perfectly fine with all these demf lineups.
there are exceptions, but by and large demf is the only chance detroiters
get to see see and hear non-detroit electronic music. its nice to hear some
different records, outside, with lots of nice people.
funding the festival isn't a problem unless you want to fund a free festival
comprised entirely of 313-favorite artists, and with the sound and
organization that paxahau brought to the table.
oh, and you want the lineup for next years festival announced by the middle
of june.
I blow 40 dollars on lunch sometimes, so I'm not going to complain about a 3
day, 40 dollar electronic music festival, even if there aren't 24-hour theo,
kdj, etc stages.

Thinking back to the troubled years of the fest - there was talk about the
possibility of not holding it annually
Sitting out a year or two to build the finances to do it right and still
keep it free for everyone
I think there was a lot of worth in that

you might be right, but thats more on account of the festival not being
free
anymore.
my comment about exposing new people to the music was based on
conversations
I've had with the organizers. of course they were more eloquent than I
chose to be
