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!
