Saw Richie last night in Baltimore. I had heard that he was growing out his hair but OH MY GOD, I didn't expect a full head of hair cut in a sort of geeky 1960's clean cut boy next door style.

This was the first time I have seen him playing a set that wasn't an all out heavy banging till your head and chest hurt. Much more minimal and almost "quiet", more of a head nodding than dancing set.

_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.
