Def haven't been around the block as long as many of you but lots of good
times for that series; exceptional talent all around on all parts of the
events.  Before it was 'No Way Back' it was most of the same crew/venue for
"Cannonball Run" for each DEMF, right? Memory is hazy on a few of
thoseJesus that was already like 15 years ago, yikes.

video on 10 years of No Way Back

[Fred Heutte]

The track No Way Back was released 32 years ago -- basically one
and a half human generations and many more musical generations ago.
It was part of a sonic breakthrough that seemed raw and unlimited and
unfinished at the time . . . and still does.  And so does the party that
took the name and the inspiration . . .

I wasn't at the original bank blizzard party but have been at all the
ones during the festival.  Many many great moments: Carlos Souffront
gave me a ride to Bo-House (Bohemian National Home) one year
and I am quite sure neither of us remember very much about that
night . . . but it was fantastic . . . more I do remember -- Tin Man doing
his live 303 set last year . . . all the great acid house-sourced and
inspired sets -- Servito and Plaslaiko and BMG with his laptop
mashups . . . but most of all the impromptu 2x2 set Carlos and Patrick
Russell did at 5 am at 1515 Broadway that was likely the most off-the-
chain hour and a half I will ever experience . . .

Not a fan of the Tangent, but the party has gotten so big and
popular it has to be somewhere with a lot of square footage.
There's no way to set a long term plan for something like this
(speaking as a founding member of an SF-based party collective
that has been going since 1994), so when it's there you go for it.
