I received this email and thought some of our European idm'ers might get something out of it. Read it, it ranges from the arty farty ( I say that with respect as I'm arty farty ) to more quote-unquote " IDM". I won't be forwarding these anymore as they're long, so do hook up with their email system if you can. and hey! Check out some of these shows!!!!! I'm jealous.
