I had to miss last year and will miss again this year. I am broke. But even if I had the money, I just find travelling to the US too stressful these days. I don't see me going until there's a change of government policy. The fact that I work in media makes it v awkward to go into the US

How many list members from outside the U.S. or from the U.S. but require air travel are going to this year's festival or are still waiting for the final artist lineup to make their decision. Do you think the artist lineups for the afterparties will be affected by the lineup for the festival? If

There are so many things that happen around the time of DEMF that I would suggest to make the festival _part_ of your trip to this region of the US. There's also MUTEK happening in Montreal (which is GORGEOUS that time of year and not too far away) and also there is Chicago about a three hour

I'll be there. Objectively, neither the festival nor the afterparties are all that great, but it's sort of like the county fair or the playoffs -- you go anyway even if you've seen it all before (and usually you get something you haven't seen anyway). In my view, the afterparties have been on a

No electro party this year, and so far we're not playing anywhere either. It's going to be a party and take pics year. I plan on having fun (getting drunk)and catching up with my homies from around the world. It's also my first year of being single during the festival, so I'm going to see how

Been to a bunch of popo shutdowns. Two of 'em Organic parties, in fact. Last year, the life changing set was Kenny Larkin at Bleu of all places, who played the very final set of the very last after party Tuesday morning and it was the shiznit. Haven't felt that good about a set in years. fh

Wouldn't you think the mayor would be able to get the police to back off shutting down afterparties just for one weekend? These parties are at least 50% responsible for attracting the hoards of people to the city. They keep shutting down the parties and making the daytime events into a
