wow, mpaul...I sense some serious hostility! I need to send you some love look, I don't disagree with all that you say...clearly, if you got there at 10:20 and you were made to wait 40 minutes+ just so they could pocket $15 from you that's bullshit. but the story I got is that mauro's flight was repeatedly delayed coming in...which probably explains why you kept getting those "1230" "1" etc. answers...but it seems to me that there's not much that the promoters could do about that. could he have spun longer? sure, I guess so...but that 45+ minute set was one of the most memorable sets I've ever seen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. all I'm saying is that sometimes I think that we all focus on masoud so much and on the fact that some of his people are not "from our scene" that we forget to enjoy the music and the fact that we're at nation again...and I don't just mean mauro's set, but I thought that the opener jambi spun a solid, fun, banging set. look I can understand that people are pissed, but things like this are going to happen, whether or not masoud is involved.
