The list is about Detroit techno, was originally served from a university network in Texas and has contributors from all over the world. If a group of listmembers in Bishkek held some sort of gathering or meetup I think it would be unreasonable for anyone to object, or to expect them to find the cash to actually travel to Detroit.
While Detroit is of course an ideal location, it's a bit difficult for anyone outside the city to organise anything there. So unfortunately I have no control over whether a party takes place in Detroit or not - but yes, I think it would be good if someone organised one. For the record, I emailed a few people in the US about this a few weeks ago, to see if anyone might be able to get something going in Detroit, but that's pretty much all I can do. I see no reason why parties to celebrate ten years of [313] shouldn't take place in every city or town that has more than one [313]er living there, to be honest...
