A minor detail of COMIC note : the pink stickers The year Carol "fired" Carl Craig as Creative Director right before DEMF 2001, he of course still retained a massive swell of public support by festival attendees and especially booked artists and DJs. So people at the festival in Hart Plaza were handing out little pink stickers that said "I support Carl Craig" and many people wearing them as an F.U. gesture to Carol Marvin... they became the sought after DEMF fashion accessory, and they were EVERYWHERE. In fact most everyone on the various event stages --before or after their set-- made specific reference on the mic to the fact that Carl made it all possible and thanked him specifically for inviting them to play at DEMF. Carol obviously *never* could have booked the kind of talent without Craig as creative director, which made it all the more ridiculous that she would somehow try to push him out of the very event he put on the map.
