I saw him at Tastefest in ... 2002? He played before Carl Craig. Then we went to a reception at RealDetroit for Planet E, and then to Motor to see Acquaviva again.
Oh, I was staying with Dennis Donahue, and somewhere in all that, we saw War, and a bit of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Acquaviva was kinda awesome but I have to give it up for War. And Joan Jett. Used to be I came to Detroit and sh!t happened ;-) On 11/6/06, scotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
