L33tdawg: Damn this must have been an EXCELLENT rave... would certainly love to make it next year :) Did anyone go?

The attendance was down, there were scores of arrests, but hundreds of thousands of revellers still turned out in Berlin for the annual Love Parade, branded the world's largest techno-music rave.

The Saturday day-long street party -- this year under the motto "Access Peace" -- featured 40 floats snaking their way from the edge of the Tiergarten park toward the Victory Column in the centre of the park.

Young people arrived on more than 60 special trains from around Germany including Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich.

Police reported fewer dancers on the streets this year, estimating a crowd of 500,000 and saying the final turnout was unlikely to approach last year's 800,000. The party's organisers put the figure nearer 750,000.
