I would only add that AO notes that since the DEMF, Detroit won't pay to see the music. But it's not like it was much different before the DEMF. I gave up on trying to see the music live. Anytime there is a big (or even little) techno show you end up waiting hours to get in, or you show up

If you have time wheels there are a couple of nice vegetarian restaurants in the burbs. OM Cafe - not everyone's fave, but I really used to like this place. It's in Ferndale and is the kind of vegetarian food that scares carnivores. In Season - a nice veg restaurant in Royal Oak. Often times

Funny that you should mention this because Derrick May had some serious affection for Chicago and its sound before he embarked upon techno. Derrick frequently went to Chicago, both for records and clubbing. Who has heard of a club called The Bismarck? Apparently Lil' Louis played there a lot and

'Anything that has to do with techno' is too broad. IMO, 313 is specifically about Detroit and Detroit-related techno and house, not about software, gear, cars, drugs, etc. So *that* is why Ford is so insistent on telling us the Focus is Detroit Techno. It will really break their hearts to

Was wondering if any of you are checking out the new Ken Burns' documentary, called Jazz on PBS? Yep! I'm also wondering what it'll say about Jazz in regards to influencing techno, if any. Probably *nothing*. It pretty much ignores JAZZ of the last 40 years, never mind jazz influenced genres.
