just for clarification, i have never used a glowstick as for this close-minded militant crap, the crackdown exists because of ravers, not despite them.

meanwhile, as suspected, Calderone takes over for B+S. Oh, and Sander on the 17th. Could be nice substitute if i can't make it for the man like

i suggest changing the name to "Be yourself so long as you don't look like a fucking dork @ Arc"

Uh, I'm no english major, but this can't be right.

i prefer this one, if only because it includes the line "get in the aerostar!" i swear, with all these misplaced guidos, its like the fucking diaspora. Dear Brother Guidos, Your web site provides for me vicarious thrills and, at times, quiet reflection. You see, I am the only Italian in the yuppiest town on earth--Lake Forest, IL. I've lived here all my life, but I've always felt like an outsider. Soccer moms with Golden Retrievers whiz by in their Volvos and represent a world I despise. Alas, I am a misplaced guido. In high school I was totally different. Instead of polo shirts and khakis I wore tight tanks with arbitrary numbers on the front and spent my time, not at the country club, but in the gym getting hard. By sophomore year, I was by far the biggest and brownest guy in school. I also invented a walk I called the "yip yap" that consisted of a delayed leg drag countered with a sort of wave action with my two arms working in unison. It's fly. I still use it today. I got picked on a lot even though I was by far the best athlete in school. I didn't play any sports, but I'd jump over garbage cans and stuff to impress girls. Speaking of girls, I got all of them. By the bushels. In a world of white, weak preps I was a huge break from the ordinary. Sort of like Zima. I actually took pride in getting called names like "Greaser" and "Greasy" and other forms of lubricants. No one ever had the balls to say it to my face because my two arms, Thunder and Lightening, did all the talking for me. I didn't go to college in favor of a career in cutlery sales. I'm bigger than ever but have always felt like a ship without a port here. My music, my body, my car are all lost on these people. Then...a trade show brought me to Jersey for the first time in my life last summer. Sure, a cutlery trade show in Tom's River sounds great on the surface, but I had no idea the adventures and the experiences that were going to unfold. After four long work days and being relegated to lifting sessions in a shit ass hotel gym (ever tried to get a pump with 25s?!), Saturday, my night of deliverance, finally arrived. I was in line at GNC when three of the biggest guys (next to me) I've ever seen wouldn't stop raving about this place a few miles away called Temptations or Tempts. I thought they were talking about the Motown group at first, but when I listened more closely I heard the buzz words that make my heart beat quicker: chiseled, thumpin', dancing, jiggin', movin', shakin', bakin'. I knew I had to check it out. I asked the guys what all the noise was about. They complimented me on my physique and I returned the pleasantries. This one guy Zeek just said, "Get in the Aerostar. You're comin' with us." Somewhere along the drive I just started to feel something. It was like the Tempts energy was reaching out to me in the back of that Minivan. Through my seatbelt and everything. We pulled up. I looked and saw a line of the best looking people I've ever seen im my life. I got out, jumped around and slapped the backs of the guys who had delivered me to heaven. I did forty push-ups to get a good pump and got in line. A few hours later, I walked into the club. The people. The energy. The bodies. The music. I took it slow, but within a few minutes my shirt was off and I was thumpin' to the beats with everyone. I tried to take my pants off but I guess that's not cool. Anyway, I had the best night of my life that night. To this day, if you see me with a huge smile on my face, I'm either lifting or I'm thinking about Tempts. I haven't been back since, but your site helps me feel as if I'm there. I'm in a new line of work now, and if Tom's River ever throws a cell phone convention. I'll be back. Keep up the great work. There are no excuses. Antonio DiBella Lake Forest, Ill.

i'd name a bunch of detroit techno Djs, but since carl craig is playing shelter in august, i am happy and will shut up. oh yeah, garnier would be wonderful angel moraes and murk would be good too

sounds tight. did you happen to check out derrick may or anyone in that arena (atomic jam, i think)?

yours is bad luck? Larry Levan and Freddie Mercury died on mine, and George Bush was elected. My birthday is bad for the world. by the way, i'm 23, which seems pretty common

he was 41, i just looked it up. anyone go to the TDV + DT night at Twilo? i saw an old flyer for it on DT's web site.

actually, he wasn't even there that long, he checked in about a day before he died. I believe it was AIDS related, though he hadn't told anyone he had it. (i could be wrong on that, but i think i'm right). he was in his early 40s, but i dont recall exactly off hand.

that about sums up my thoughts too. best wishes

that's it! i think i have the works on tape around here somewhere. that was a great tune. (on a completely irrelevant tangent, the works is also a club in detroit where kevin saunderson has a weekly residency- its like 6 degrees of separation for good music)

quoth always rocks the good sigs (though the UR one was better) i gotta grow a 'stache like that. personally i always liked "killer queen" and that video with them in drag (what song was that?)

apparently they are re-evaluating their options for 30 days or something like that, so they might stick around as a monthly (like 'crasher) or something. It's getting pathetic, as dance music gets bigger and bigger worldwide, its dying in england. Renaissance, cream, gatecrasher all failing, meanwhile slipknott is all over the charts. at least the london scene is still good (though i guess the velvet rooms had to close)

older, extremely diverse crowd (and quite sober). no dress code, very late arriving. soulful house and garage (think blaze, MAW) and lots of classics (paradise garage type stuff). its a wonderful party, but its not your typical club night.

when you grow up in the detroit area (as i did) all you have to do is turn on the radio at night and you will hear some wild shit (especially later on). It's amazing how as i got more into the stuff over the years, especially after working in london, i'd hear old classic detroit and chicago tracks and recognize them from the radio back in the day. Even as a kid when i didn't have a clue who say Frankie Knuckles was, I knew "whistle song".

Jody was OK when he played Vinyl a few months ago. he's more of a warm up dJ than a headliner. i read an interview with nick warren a while ago where he was talking about making tracks with Jody and said something along the lines of, "Jody has all the technical knowledge, but he doesn't know what will work in a club". He's fine, but Nick is a lot better

is that really fergie's set list? wow, he's really moved away from hardhouse hasn't he? I didn't look closely and assumed that was emerson. If he's playing that sort of stuff, I'd love to see him.

i would agree with most of that, nothing against picotto or variety, its just that when people throw around the word "techno" they mess with a lot of history, its like throwing "garage" around- it has a meaning and a history, and a tradition that people, rightly, feel defensive of and attached to.

ha, if you think arc will be crowded (it will), notice he is also playing motor in detroit, which is tiny -about twice the size of filter 14. THAT will be crowded.

ok, i haven't heard him lately, but all his productions, even the recent stuff is pretty much hard house, though certainly more techno-ish than most. And I've never heard any legit techno dj play any of his stuff. Hey, if what you say is true and he's really gone techno (actually a lot of his stuff sounds like what people were calling techno about 8 years ago-think CJ bolland -but anyway..) and sounds like Umek and co., then more power to him, i'll even check him out if thats true, but i kinda doubt it. after all, look where he gets booked outside the u.s.a.- godskitchen, gatecrasher, stuff like that. oh well, you've peaked my curiosity at least.

he also signed will smith to his first recording contract. we can all thank him for that pioneering move too. (snicker)

this is funny, can we get more reasons Oakie is so great? i need comic relief
