With the earlier discussion about educating younger techno fans, i
found it odd that no one brought up something that seemed to work in
the past all around the Midwestern US.

My introduction to the Columbus crew occurred about the same time they
published the original "Think" pamphlet, in 1995 or so. It's not
flawless, and it requires a slightly curious mind (to read at a club,
at least). But I think a lot of good was done, and I recall seeing
lots of kids using their glowsticks to illuminate the pages of this
small pamphlet near the smart drink stands at Michigan and Ohio parties
in the 90s.
More importantly the ele-mentals "got it". There were fresh ideas and
projects informed by history. Where the heck is Ed Luna these days
anyway? If you don't know him, search 313 archives for some great
background.
Might be fun to see "Think" re-printed and scattered at parties where
it is needed most.
