Just got back. High points? Low points? Other threads about this I've missed?

ANY FT CONTRIBUTORS (AND WANNABE CONTRIBUTORS) WHO WERE THERE - A write-up will be going up this Friday, in a Top However-Many Moments style. If there's anything you want immortalised - ideally a music-centric moment but it doesn't have to be - then can you email me a brief (50-150 words) write-up by Thursday? You can email as many as you like - use the address below. Cheers!

Did wonder whee you were all these days...how was rod stewart (did you see him?).

― Julio Desouza, Monday, 1 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I didn't see any of Rod. I saw Groove Armada and then faffed about for a bit and saw the first bit of Air. I think Alix is our roving Rod reporter.

Wasn't Donovan there? Enough reason to stay home. I prefer a revolution in my living room, thanks.

A Curmudgeon Writes: I saw enough of Groove Armada on the televisualiser to know that they were b*llocks.

AIR WERE SHITE, I SAW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT.

Wait I hate all Air's music anyway, oh well better not let that stop me making a useless comment.

Wasn't Mr Scruff amazing?

God I'd heard the rumours but that guy is a genius. I'm sorry to be leaving London and missing him at Cargo on the 26th. What a man!

we (that is us in manc) have been going 2 'keep it unreal' for 2 years. ace it is, but usually dark in the club, so the ment-al u.v. colours of the dance tent made a wicked change.

fave dance tent moment : walking back at 3 in the afternoon, having just pulled the night b4, strolling throught it completely empty as timo's 'shifter' blasted out.

whooooooooooooooosh!!
