Any guesses about the likelyhood that the festival will continue next year?
my guess would be not with paxahau in command. attendance this year was MUCH thinner than in past years. i guess this goes to show, catering to trendy minimal cats and ravers isnt the way to break even. i think ive figured out why, and it was mainly by reports of the afterparties. what i think happened was that paxahau got full of themselves for throwing the banging/minimal techno parties every year that every white suburban detroit kid and some of the out of towners went to. they got that whole crowd every time. all the parties with the real detroit techno, house, and electro split all the rest of that crowd. this time, since much less of the crowd from the previous festivals were in attendance, the detroit music afterparties were relatively lighly populated while the minimal/whatever parties werent any crazier than years previous (though this is just from what i heard from others who went to the parties!). tom
