Looks like D. May is in the lead by a long-shot. That was a good move, but I'm surprised that the name was actually up for grabs in December... Must've been one of those loose ends that large corporations sometimes miss. Maybe Carl will be back on the commitee soon??? Shwew! wipes sweat

the name is rather inconsequential. the city of detroit owns hart plaza the city of detroit fronts the money for the festival (it is later paid back by the sponsors) the city will decide who gets the contract next year. this strikes me as a publicity stunt. On Mon, 11 Mar 2002, marc
