Beside the big booming system up front, which we walked right past, or
avoided entirely by coming down the side alley, Ford was out-of-sight
out-of-mind. But the video crap was a bit annoying. By the way...during
Inner City, the smiley face and Remember 1989 (or was it '88?) across the
screen.
However, the Bacardi crap was pissing me off! I don't ever want to see that
f*cking commercial again!

The commercial stuff was relatively innocuous and predictably clueless.
The loops they were running on the screen at the Cpop stage were especially
dumb. Like Dan, I was amused/disgusted by the Bacardi thing, but at least
they were running live shots of the performance quite a bit of the time
at
I was very impressed by how low key ford actually. Yeah, they had two
focuses at the front of the festival. But there weren't any Huge Focus
signs all over,
If I remember correctly, the main stage was lined with millions of them on
the first night. They said Detroit techno - Ford Focus.

To Ford's credit, they had excellent DJs in their focus tent all weekend,
including DJ Horsepower, and Reggie
I didn't think they *completely* overdid it ... and it certainly
didn't ruin the festival.
The swirling psychedelic Ford logos were a bit silly though. The
Bacardi video loop on the Underground stage was stomach-turning as
well ...

Maybe it'll be fueled by a Bacardi-powered mini-saga of commercials like
Folger's did some years back on TV
Git on it Carol
next year if she books oakenfold I swear Its going to be a fullscale
protest from the begining.

I didn't know they were given free focuses, what the hell is that? I
thought that the deal honoring them on Monday was questionable, but free
cars? It was nice to find out that all it takes for city counsel and other
city officials (archer) to support the music and those who love it (their
Mabye it's just me, but I think they did. Renaming the festival is
probably the largest thing (buying the main stage wasn't enough?),but then
the swirling ford logos, to the focus racer dude racing down the endless
tunnel video effect, to the constant focus focus focus every single
direction
i'm
very envious of you people who got into jak (The line was almost all around
the building at quarter-after-12).
I understand richie's love of small venues, but i honestly thought this
wasn't the weekend to do it. I mean, there were just so many out of towners
who i'm sure would've LOVED
