It seems that nothing ever changes ... Two years ago, my girlfriend and myself went to see hawtin v. villalobos in the fabric. The crowd was just horrible: being from the continent, I'm just not used to wait for two hours to get in the club, but since i'm not in london every weekend, i thought what the heck, hawtin and villalobos must draw the crowd. but when i started talking to others, they just didn't have a clue about the line-up - asked what the f++k are they doing there, waiting in bitter cold (it was the end of november), they just smiled and said: "don't you know, it is THE fabric!" Once inside, the things just got worse - drunken spaniards and italians stepping on your feet and pushing you around all the time. Hardly anybody appreciated what ricardo and hawtin were doing and i had problems appreciating it too, because there was always someone scratching my back or squeezing my balls. A really nasty experience ...
