Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who came out to Sickness/Recovery. We hope everyone had a good time. For the info of people who would like to know, we had roughly 2500 people! We would also like to extend our apologies to those who tried to listen to the event via the proposed realaudio broadcast. As many of you already know, in the end, there was no broadcast. This was because the actual location of the party had to be changed only days before the event. The final cornfield location was far to remote for the cellular backup plan, and we didn't have enough time to drop in the special phone lines that had been ready to go at the original location. Another of our backup plans was to record the show onto Dat, and then rebroadcast apx. 10 hours later. This plan was also foiled because of the location, due to the huge amounts of dirt and dust that our Dat player didn't appreciate. I'm sure that the digital crowd out there are as disappointed as us, but we'll be planning other events using Realaudio in the coming months, so keep your eyes and ears open. SPECIAL THANKS TO Jeff for finally coming out to play at one of our events! Again, thanks to everyone who supported us for this event, and the ones in the past. See you all soon. Richie Hawtin
