Exactly! You'll go anyway! And Gatecrasher not being in London is the only reason I'd contemplate not going ... apart from that, aren't you intrigued?!? 'JM plays a house set' has got to be the best house set for miles around surely? Perhaps it's time to stop being churlish and accept progress when it's inevitable: Did you see JM at lost NYE? Films? Exclusive 'Space' arty crowd etc? It was more Islington than Brixton! But I enjoyed it ... Things have to move on and people too ... we're all getting older. If we are to maintain our love of all this and all it entails we need to discover deeper ways of appreciating it - or else Detroit's gonna seem like a long way away from anything really important. Ways that aren't dependent on a particular type of venue, a certain artificial 'downshifter' attitude - which you can falsify yourself by discovering how many public school types there are in most crowds of tech-heads ... By the way Sunship ...
