Actually you touched on something that disturbed me greatly, the difference in crowds between Demf 1 & 2. It was the sight of such a diverse crowd after the first Demf, all enjoying themselves and digging on the music, that made it really seem like a landmark to me. That diversity seemed to be lost at the second Demf, and I'm curious as to why this was the case? Anyone have any thoughts on this? that's pretty easy (imo) ..last year people raved about how great it was and so it attracted a large element of scenesters..now every idiot from missouri is showing up In general, I thought that there was a preponderence of ravers at the last festival who didn't necessarily know what they had even come to see. yes..the first year we had people coming up to us telling us it was great to see people in UR gear, the second it was asking who they were The worst thing that could happen is that curious locals won't attend because they percieve it to simply be some kind of "rave" thing. On the other hand, thank God for the afterparties which more and more look like they will become the real focus. I will be very sad if I know longer see some of the great artists out with their kids in strollers... I don't think that we should lose site of the fact that the detroit artists spent decades being undervalued and now their name is being institutionalized in this city, and are you really that suprised that it is being co-opted? -k re: the post about certain types of music attracting teenagers it's called teenage angst, pick up a sisters of mercy cd sometime ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
