Here's a link to an article in the Metro Times, here in Detroit. We got published!

Not too shabby...I wonder how many "civilians" we had show up last year? Wonder how many will show this time up because of this article?

Your killing me here Ernie, just killing me.

Nice write-up though, congratulations guys!

Very nice article! I sent a link to our local paper. maybe next year we could prepare a press release in advance that AK members could send directly or via a link to their local newspapers. If nothing else, it might draw out some new members to AK even if they just checked the site and didn't attend the Fest the first year.

Hey, that's great. That article ought to bring a few people in.

Now in its fourth year, AKFest promises a more "community" atmo, even for those seeking only to look and listen to cool shit.

Boy has the ink media changed since I had ink stined hands... :nono:

I noticed that too but then looked at the "Alternative" heading. Probably not what you'd find in your local newpaper.

Great article and now we know Grumpy's real name...

Yes its an alternative paper. How many "normal" people are into the stuff we are ? :D

Grumpy's 'real' name was also an alias. His real name is Gertrude Fesselhoffer.

I thought it was Heinrich Hossenpfeffer...

That was before the operation.

So then, who is Gertrude Fecalhopper?

I dunno; but I got wind of her last nite....

We was using code names. Ya hear that, everybody? Code names.

I'm going to refer to Ernie as "Ernesto," because nobody would ever make that connection. "Ernesto Von Kleinhoppenheffenweiserfestmann."

And nice job getting the article in print. Tends to be worth more than paid advertising.

Okey doke, Wiggy, on th' Code Names. Mine's Col. Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle...

Codename or otherwise, Dave did a good interview! They only publish 10% of what you say, and most folks get quoted in ways they don't like, so Dave not only said good stuff, he also managed to be likeable enough that the writer didn't lean on him at all. Who knew Dave could be likeable?

Great job, Dave!

Now in its fourth year, AKFest promises a more "community" atmo, even for those seeking only to look and listen to cool shit. The genesis of the AKFest is its sister Web site and forum, audiokarma.org, whose worldwide membership now exceeds 20,000.

This is AK!! I seek only to look and listen to "cool shit"!!

Another problem I see frequently is that reporters tend to completely bollix up someone's name and/or what they said. Most times its accidental/sloppy reporting, other times I wonder..Anyhow, this looks like it went off quite well, cast us in a very good light.

And then there is the famous line from the movie "Hollywood Knights" http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/trailer.html?pop=y&mtype=win&quality=high&url=httpQ3AQ2FQ2Fwww.totaleclips.comQ2FPlayerQ2FBo unce.aspxQ3FeclipidQ3DE13037Q26ampQ3BbitrateidQ3D1 0Q26ampQ3BvendoridQ3D225&title=The Hollywood Knights at the drive in, but you will have to watch the movie. It's would be a little crass to post that one here:nono: - but the movie is excellent!:D

Great movie but a different line. The one that I was referring to was a PA announcement at Porkeys.
