:Anyone go to the real party? I hope it wasn't "delayed 10 hours" also...
I did. Um, Jeff Mills & Richie Hawtin both did exceptional
sets. I was eaten alive by mosquitos. On the balance,
not a bad tradeoff.
My guess as to why there wasn't a netcast: the party happened
in the middle of some farmer's soybean field. Big wet
soggy soybean plants. A fair bit of mud. No ISDN
cabling. I think this was their fallback site. Anyway, I wouldn't
have wanted to be the person in charge of trying to manage
a mutimedia webcast from a farm in the heart of agrarian Ontario.
-d.w.
I said I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed "I like Lou Reed" she said...
