_not_ _his_ _party_. i've seen him at megarave events where there were
giant inflatable animals hanging from the ceiling. he played some
candy rave thing in texas last year where there were carnival rides.
seriously.
as to whether he can veto these things: no. being who he is he'll
probably have some degree of influence, but he's a contractor in these
circumstances, not the guy in charge.
maybe the fact that the control series of parties -- which originated
in detroit, were 100% his events, and therefore completely under his
creative control -- has morphed into a portable performance technique
with the same name is what's tripping you up. don't expect to see a
'richie' party just because he's there, unless it's been put on by
Minus. and more than likely, is taking place in detroit.

In response to Garrett's post,
It's not confusion so much as curiosity...I just don't get it - maybe
its a
Toronto (elsewhere) vs Detroit thing...but I just think Richie, well,
he's
been doing this for so long now would have more of a say. I find it
hard to
believe that he wouldn't have known that The Hump and Camel cigarettes
were
going to hang their bright and shiny logos above his head onstage
right next
to an equally bright sized Plastikman and not been able to veto that
if he
wanted. I mean aren't we there for him and his music? But, that said
maybe
it was a Hump ambush in the Toronto jungle and Rich never knew what hit
him...
I guess I'm just not hip to all the corporate b.s. It makes things
feel
less about the music, and for me that's what its all about :)

You've just never been outback in the patio garden of Richie's mind -
