Very interesting indeed. I like the lead where they say some dressed in costumes, others not dressed in much at all

I just saw a segment on CNN Headline News about it. Nice to see some coverage and recognition in the US for a change.

Quote from the CNN article:

Organizers said in March they were struggling to raise the $1.7 million needed to keep the tradition going. Although enough sponsors eventually stepped in to keep it going another year, the streets appeared less packed Saturday than in the past.

because of how commercial it has all become. this isnt what LP is supposed to be about, and as a result, the true techno fans are staying away. i shudnt imagine it will be around much longer

well i tend to think that this may be the first time the US media has ever been right in using the word techno - most of the djs at love parade were playing techno.
