Bill,
That was a damn fine answer! I'm sorry about my somewhat provocative
post. After watching all 244 pictures, of last year, I can now
proudly say I know a little about the "electro-music" community! I'd
would love to go there in june if it wasn't for the distance/cost
issue. But I will definitely check in with the forum. Thanks for
making good things happen!
