Unfortunately, I had to leave a little after six
o'clock yesterday, to get back to Iowa City at 2am, to
get up for work at 6:30, but everything I saw @ DEMF
was astounding. That was hands down the coolest thing
I've ever seen, done, or been a part of. And if anyone
tries to say the crowd was not a part of the DEMF they
are foolish. I can't believe I spent three days amidst
900,000 people, adding alcahol in the most diverse
(ehnicity and age) crowd I've ever seen without
witnessing any violence or even stupid drama. Amazing.
The vibe was incredible. Everywhere I walked I heard
people saying things like, this is beautiful, why
can't this happen every weekend (perhaps that was a
bit naive but you get the idea), etc. I'm just in awe,
and it hasn't even begun to sink in yet.
To everyone I had the pleasure of meeting, it was a
blast. It felt like home. Detroit left a serious
impression on about 15 Iowans. I didn't see anyone
less than completely satisfied.
DEMF favorites: Theo Parrish, The Roots, Derrick
Plasaiko and Fucktrance, Detroit. Oh, and the old
dancing hippie at the mainstage and CPOP Sunday
afternoon. I'll have to post a picture of him when I
get them developed.
Had to send a thank you before reading all of the
aftermath, so until then, adieu.
