Hey Greg, I love the kontrol events. You guys do a great job.
Personally I'm happy to hear about what's going on even if its
outside the classic definition of IDM (which is what? who cares).
I haven't seen a standard for tagging event posts except that maybe 8
or 10 years ago there was this big flamefest when people would post
their blurbs w/ the club name and date without any mention whatsoever
of what god-damn city or country they were in. So mentioning SF
somewhere would probably be advisable. And, well, it's right there in
your URL so you're pretty well covered.
keep it steady.
