Subject: (313) my personal experience at movement
For some reason this was the first DEMF that I went to. Don't ask me
why I
never went before this year, I couldn't tell you. For the last year and
a
half, I've listened to my roommates complain about how Detroit is the
armpit
of the world, and they can't wait to get out of it.
I was driving in from Lansing on Saturday morning, and it occurred to me
seeing the ren cen crest the horizon that there are a million people
here
from all over the world that are completely thrilled to be in the city.
It's
not that I didn't "know" it was the techno mecca. It's just that it
never
gelled in a physical, bodily way. (Speaking of which, I'm wonderfully
sore.)
So, I guess my perception of the city has been changed.
The first thing I noticed when I got to the fest was elephant ear
stands.
That really floored me. Hearing the ol' throbbing
4-on-the-floor-approach-from-afar sound off triumphantly from the
movement
stage and seeing $5 hamburger stands was like and old friend giving me
a big
warm hug while scraping a cheese grater across my gums.
Anyway I'm not gonna go on and on even though I could. Met lots of cool
people, a few from the 313 list, yeah, and the music was great and all
that,
blah blah I'll leave it for another post. :)
