RAVER ALERT!
Another party, the cleverly-titled "I'm on a Boat!" sold out almost as soon as it was announced. Here's what you'll miss (unless you can score tickets on Craig's List. why not, give it a shot?): Carl Craig and Stacey Pullen on decks and each celebrating birthday 40th birthdays; Henrik Schwartz and AME; Luciano vs. Loco Dice, all floating on the river on the Detroit Princess beginning at midnight and going to who knows when after it docks at around 3:30 a.m.
And this one, alas cool kids, is canceled:
SENSORAMA:
