Elisha 1 #8 August 6, 2009 Was there 11 years ago. It was a nice day in the mid 80's. Yeah, lotsa partying, but things got out of hand. For one thing, guys would just squirt random women in the chest/butt with water guns. My co-workers (from my Migros internship) passed on attending.

shropshire 0 #15 August 10, 2009 I think that it all started with Leon Theremin (Russian) who kicked the whole thing off in the early 1900s ... Then Robert Moog (American) started selling Theremin kits before his Synths... But it was the musicians such as Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman etc.. who actually used these these tools. (.)Y(.)
