all you boys that i met at bleu for markus were complete wrecks when we finally found each other! some help ya'll are for a girl flying solo in a strange city in a strange club 
anyway here is my little review (still tired, but i have to do this before my old feeble mind forgets!)
saturday - landed around noon, woke up my friend at the hotel, went out to buy some groceries, took a short nap and then went down to fuse-in festival - the weather was great - not too cold and not too hot, went to the various stages and just ended up catching up with everyone (about 20 of us were staying at the same hotel, but were coming at different times), got to see john tejada spin a really good set in the early evening (hope my friends can get him to chicago sometime soon!) and ran into even more chicago peeps, headed back to hotel around 9 pm and ditched my friends and went to bleu solo - got to bleu around 11 or so. liked kt's set and glad that he dropped owner of a lonely heart (i'm a child of the eighties) and then i finally got to see markus for the first time, after trying about 3 or 4 other times. really liked his set - very solid and i didn't get bored anytime during his set and i finally got to hear the track gone on a big sound system and it sounded GREAT! - bleu is a really nice club - only 2 complaints - the dj booth is way too dark - could hardly see markus up there and secondly, there isn't really anyplace to sit where you can see the dj if you just want to relax and chill. oh yeah - met some ta's - but they were all complete wrecks by that time  - met up with my friends that i was staying with and went to the substance party - which was sketchy as hell, but complete detroit techno scene - had to go through the back alley to get in and there were 2 rooms (i heard there were 2 other rooms on the 5th floor, but didn't know that at the time) where we heard some great minimal techno. got back to the hotel and hung out for a while and then sleep finally around 10 am.
sunday - headed down to the festival and spent most of the time at the underground stage and then headed to our friend's party - the defender party - left to go to the tronic party, but heard that the place was a complete wreck so headed back to our friends party and ran into even more chicago peeps! everyone (all 20 of us) headed back to the hotel and decided to have afters in my hotel room (we had a nice suite) and that lasted until the late afternoon of monday.
monday - finally got some sleep and then went to see hawtin - the main reason i went to detroit - at the undergound stage at the festival. the place was already getting packed when we arrived early to see luciano spin and then richie came on and threw down an INCREDIBLE set - i've seen him 3 times and he can have terrible sets (such as the one he did in chicago at house of blues), but this set just blew me away - i danced the whole time, except when i had to take a break or die of heatstroke. the set ended around midnight and then we headed to the "private" afters where richie spun for another 3 hours or so (my friend's who are HUGE richie fans and have seen him in japan were able to sweet talk our way into the party) - the afters was held at this place that only held around 150 ppl and it was underground - so it was PERFECT for richie - nice and intimate setting and the place was dark as hell, but the perfect setting for him. another incredible set from richie but sadly, it ended. i think that this night has to be one of my top 3 nights out (along with lawler's harlem nights and tripwire/mazi at fabric) - i had always heard about richie's infamous afters parties from my friends and he did not disappoint!!!!! ended up staying up until 9:00 when i headed to the airport, but of course - my plane was delayed due to mechanical problems - which is the last thing you want to hear after being up 24 hours+.
all in all, a GREAT weekend and i think i liked this better than wmc down in miami - it's much more laid back, underground and experimental - not as much glam crap going on. definitely going back next year!
