OK. Fair enough Kent. In passing, speaking of The City:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340939,00.html Yes, I too do not know all the facts, so can't make any comment either way, even were it my place to do so. And I'm not making any comment one way or the other about the source having anything to do with the veracity of the story. Not at all. Would never do that. (Not nowadays anyway.) There are reasons to be a little bit gladder and reasons to be sadder however true it turns out to be, naturally.

Since it isn't the 313-list Electronic Music Festival. Maybe some kids will come for Girltalk, some Prius-driving middle managers will come for Moby, and have their minds blown by Carl Craig or Dan Bell, or TP. Stranger things have happened. By the way, Girltalk has MAD draw. I went to the Dan Deacon/Girl Talk show here in Iowa because my son paid for a ticket and had to be out of town, and because I don't mind Dan Deacon. There was a crowd TWICE what the fire marshall allows. I don't know about Moby as a draw though. I knew him a little back in the day via the Internets; I bet he sincerely is excited and honored to play the festival. He might suck, or he might surprise people. He's not without a modicum of talent and intelligence.
