You have come a long way from the Bloodthirsty, Beady-eyed news Hawk that you were in days of yore. Maybe you should try reading something besides those goddamn motorcycle magazines -- or one of these days you'll find hair growing in your palms.

1 Million Raving Germans Can't Be Wrong
2000-07-08 19:19:38
When those Germans party... they party hardy. Over a million German techno fans took to the streets of Berlin this weekend to have a rocking good time (or is that a raving good time these days).
And what's not to like about this "Love Parade" of music where you gots your truck-drawn floats pumping out pounding beats to a mass of bobbing orange- and green-haired youths, attired in the skimpiest attire. I say Beaujolais to that.
What I like about this is they want everybody to party everywhere at the same time. This year a group in Leeds, England managed to host a simultaneous Love Parade. So the question becomes when is stuffy old San Francisco gonna get off it's lazy dot.com ass and host its own Love Parade, filled with pounding floats of techno and skimpily attired drag queens?

My experiment is a failure. Rockstar-and-Robitussin tastes like day-after-Halloween bile. I'm trying to choke down enough to discover the effects, but no matter what those are one thing is certain at the outset: what I have discovered is not a Beverage, but a pale green and angry iced abomination.
