Ach komm, ich denke schon, daß die Raver sehr tolerant sind. Gerade bei dieser
Love Parade. Du mußt dir nur mal ansehen, wer da sein wird: Westbam, Marusha,
Blümchen, ein Wagen vom Marienhof ... Also, das würde meine Toleranzgrenze weit
überschreiten. (M. Friese in bln.termine, <5pq8le$g1s$1@news.cs.tu-berlin.de>)
