I guess you could call it the power of the Internet. Following yesterday’s shock-horror post about John Digweed being paralyzed due to a horrible bout of food poisoning, the crowd at Plush nightclub in Vancouver came up with a new chant.

Right at the end of John and Sasha’s set the crowd shouted: “No sushi Digweed, no sushi Digweed!”

Then as John attempted to make a dash for the tour bus, he was mobbed by a crowd of fanatic fans seeking autographs and photos.

As he smiled for the cameras and signed copies of Northern Exposure, clubbers kept wishing John good health.

“John, the reason you got ill is because you ate Mexican sushi,” one fan shouted. “Stay away from the Mexican sushi!”

Another girl shouted, “I hope you’re ok John!”

It was pretty funny, and afterwards Patrick Tetrick - Sasha and John Digweed’s tour manager exclaimed: “This whole time we were wondering what the hell you were doing on the tour bus doing a blog, but now we realise that people are reading it,” he said with a wink.

“You posted that like just a few hours ago but already the kids at the club knew all about John’s food poisoning and came up with that chant.”

Industry Boy is quietly smug.
