Interesting - i hadn't heard any reviews of the antzen party.
That's just the different nature of the hardcore vs the idm scenes,
at least as they stand for the most part. Not to say that people can't go
bonkers to idm,
or people can't sort of stand around to hardcore.
I'd definitely like to see things move to more of a blend
and towards people having fun.
