final DJ performs at Detroit's Electronic Music Festival 2007

By the way, this is only half of the bodies packed into Hart Plaza's amphitheatre for EM icon Jeff Mills last night. And there were lots more outside the amphitheatre and at other stages. I have no idea of yesterday's numbers but I'd guess somewhere around 50,000. It was a perfect day with bright sun and temps in the high 70s F/20s C. Couldn't have asked for more.

As you can imagine, after 30 hours in 3 days I am a bit weary today. No complaints, mind, just the reality. And you'll love it. I have a new name--Grandma Techno! One of my funniest moments came late yesterday as I was leaving the tented Beatport Stage with the help of a security guard who cleared a path through the crowd for me and my scooter. A fellow saw me and yelled out, "Grandma's in the f***ing house!" I left with the kid's appreciative screams ringing in my ears!

Yes, a good time was had by all. Especially Grandma Techno!
