Simon Reynolds made my week when he called me lovely on the interweb.

On the localism discussion...

I met him at Matos's, but then missed him DJing at... a gambling speakeasy????

"I met up with Filastine at about 1am on Saturday night, post-Matos’s-post-conference party, and he took me to an all-night underground speakeasy type of thing, complete with cabaret and craps tables. It was something else. Lots of kids dressed to the nines, pretending it was the 20s, wading through warehouse puddles in their finery. The proprietors asked me to DJ, and lucky enough I still had my laptop with me."

Holy fuck!

I mean seriously, that's ten papers right there.

so if anyone wants to read my paper, just e-mail me. i've got a final version all sorted out. i think. if i send it to you don't put it on the internet or anything, cuz i'm gonna give it to someone to print. i mean, i don't know why you would...
anyway, in case anyone is interested. i'm still gonna write up some late thoughts on the whole thing for my blog, but haven't finished, um, reflecting. hey, i'm a slowpoke, sue me.

Pete, I seem to have missed you. You did that great article on the Minneapolis reggaeton scene, correct?
