Unfortunately, I had to leave a little after six o'clock yesterday, to get back to Iowa City at 2am, to get up for work at 6:30, but everything I saw @ DEMF was astounding. That was hands down the coolest thing I've ever seen, done, or been a part of. And if anyone tries to say the crowd was not a part of the DEMF they are foolish. I can't believe I spent three days amidst 900,000 people, adding alcahol in the most diverse (ehnicity and age) crowd I've ever seen without witnessing any violence or even stupid drama. Amazing. The vibe was incredible. Everywhere I walked I heard people saying things like, "this is beautiful", "why can't this happen every weekend" (perhaps that was a bit naive but you get the idea), etc. I'm just in awe, and it hasn't even begun to sink in yet.
To everyone I had the pleasure of meeting, it was a blast. It felt like home. Detroit left a serious impression on about 15 Iowans. I didn't see anyone less than completely satisfied. DEMF favorites: Theo Parrish, The Roots, Derrick Plasaiko and Fucktrance, Detroit. Oh, and the old dancing hippie at the mainstage and CPOP Sunday afternoon. I'll have to post a picture of him when I get them developed. Had to send a thank you before reading all of the aftermath, so until then, adieu.
