Great. More striped rats.

adjacent keys?

Day #3 was beautiful...at least from 5:15 on, when I got there. Carl Craig, Los Hermanos, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May bringing the party to the main stage - wow! The sound problems at the other stages mentioned in my day 1 recap were all fixed. Best of all, the temperature was about 10 degrees cooler, which was way more conducive to sustained dancing.

I don't know the eternal, but most of what I've seen of his posts raise the overkill level to self-parody status. If it was intentional in this case, then it was near genius. If not, then it was just mean-spirited.

Let 'em have their nukes. They're the most unusable weapons ever.

reverberation...an interesting phenomenom.

yep could you remove a loved one from life support?

The ringing in my ears after 3 straight days of techno and metal.

"Haitian Divorce" - Steely Dan. I used to cover this song when I first started playing open-mics; should bring it back sometime...

take a shower, and then walk downtown to the Opeth show!

met stormknight said hi to darque metallion and prick, as well as my friend Lisa delivered theosakakoneko's NIN/JA tix to her and left

I might be there; Coldplay's at DTE that night, though - and DTE's closer to home.

Actually, I don't. I'm sure many of them think I'm the evil one for leaving with no apparent reason. Whatever - we're all better off.

My legs holding up to all the dancing yesterday...and no soreness today!

Notes from Day #1: Stage redesigns this year to the main, underground and pyramid stages...although the underground and pyramid stages weren't necessarily for the better. The underground stage looks amazing; it's in the center of the space, the DJs cross a bridge to get to it, and there's 360 degrees of dance floor around it. Unfortunately, the sound is even worse than usual. The pyramid stage used to face away from the RenCen; now it faces away from the water. The visual lines are so much better, but the sound is trashed. I couldn't take it for a minute - just sad. :( Fucking crazy crowd; lots of out-of-towners. "Can you top this" fashion happening everywhere you looked. If you weren't there for Nikola Baytani's (sp?) set at 2PM, you fucked up pure and simple. Definitely in my Top 5 DEMF Sets of All Time...and I'd never even heard of the guy going in. He phkn torched the beatport stage (the stage nearest the riverboat)! Heidi, Carl Cox and (especially) Francois K delivered stormin' sets, but the stars were aligned for Nikola. Ran into my brother, of all people. Go figure, lol! If you're going today, it should be perfect. A bit cooler than yesterday, which will be much more conducive to dancing. Bottom line: best Day #1 since 2001.

happy a-day!

does God need sunscreen?

goddamnthisisgonnakickass

The moment of truth has finally come DEMF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I will: every one of you is one of those fucktards to someone else. I am, too.

orange jumpsuits ftw! git yr lern on!

I hope I still have energy to dance at CC tomorrow night. Carl Cox is gonna blow Hart Plaza up!

both attempts at acting. Could you live on one kind of food for a month?
