Ian, don't take this personally, but the one thing that I keep getting reminded of is that last year leading up to the first DEMF, there was a lot of negativity, speculation on who would/wouldn't show, etc... and ya know, it was simply the best musical experience ever. Will this year be the same? Probably not. Will it be the 2nd best musical experience ever? Most likely. The speculation, moaning, blah blah blah about DEMF is a mirror of the attitudes on this list by and large. People need to be thankful for a good thing - even if it's not 100%. Nothing is. It was the same story on this list last year. If you go into the festival expecting it to be the same as last year, it will probably be a let down. If you go in expecting to have a damn good time, and accept it for what it is - you'll probably have a blast. Disclaimer: The only reason I think it will be any different for me this year, is because I've already been, and I don't think it could be possible to duplicate the electricity in the air last year. I'm almost as happy with the lineup this year as last. Tristan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
