Oh, I'm not doubting that. But currently I'm really broke and $20 can feed me for almost a week.

[guedita]

how was it, cara?

i got a drunken ass message from yanov about some bullshit

He had laptop issues and thus ended up starting out somewhat glitchy, ditched the laptop and just started doing stuff off the record decks or whatever. Yanov left too soon. It got better and better as the night progressed.

Never been to the King King. Dress code kind of club, or can I be casual comfortable to get my dance on for this event?

[tmac]

So how the fuck did you guys like it in LA?


Denver was fantastic.

[chiapet]

Denver was fantastic. Among the best sets I've seen or heard of his. Seattle in January has stood out in my mind all year as the best I've seen from him -- that was the first time I saw him do a live set, so perhaps that is part of why I think it was the best / was special... but I think Denver's set was as good. Maybe better. I'm hoping a recording might materialize so I can listen again. :-)

While the LA set was strong, I preferred the way he worked his new material into the set in Denver. In LA, some of the shifts in mood and tempo seemed a little difficult to me. Normally I enjoy the glitchier parts of his set and the moments of beautiful, more downtempo music, but there were two points in LA where there was such a drastic shift in the feel of the set that I lost interest for a while. That said, I still thought it was a good set overall and I think people were pretty happy with what they got. And I really liked all the opening sets in LA and was pleasantly surprised by the crowd which was nothing like I've experienced in LA before. Minimal talking on the dance floor, people seemed really into it.

And when it comes down to it, even though I prefer one set over the other, I think it speaks really highly of him that he has so much material and can work it into a set so many days that back to back nights could probably be at least 75% the same material and yet seem completely different. This is the third time I've gotten to compare sets back to back nights and I never felt like I was getting the same show twice.

I am obsessed with Max Cooper. Now that I came so close to seeing him, my obsession has deepened.

Hah! He's very cute, isn't he?

[algunz]

He's adorable and I didn't even get the chance to see him do his magic.

Fucking friends who can't plan ahead.

[chiapet]

You guys left before his set? That would explain why I didn't see you. We were running late, I got there at least half way into Andrew's set, and started making rounds trying to find you during Max.

[algunz]

Yes, my friend walks up to me with his wristwatch in my face and says we gotta go at 12:30. Max was just starting. I wanted to throw myself on the ground and throw a tantrum just like my friend's kid would do when she doesn't get her way. I was walking out just as GB and Tallchris were walking in to King King.

[Mugwog]

Your friend sucks

[algunz]

Yes, he most certainly can, but there are quite a few redeeming qualities about him/them too. I need to step it up and make my friends go out to these things more often, and eventually it won't be such a difficult thing to plan for in the future. I do their bike shit all the time. They can come dancing with me. Damn it! I am taking control!!!

[chiapet]

Or you can just go out without requiring an entourage of friends who are too old to hang. I know plenty of people your/our age who can dance all night.

[algunz]

I know, but I can't really just take off and go out by myself. People find that behavior peculiar. When you have a child and a husband, there are certain societal expectations that need to be met or people start throwing out all sorts of bullshit calls. I know it's a bit of a cop out, but it's true.

And this adventure was originally intended for just the girls and I, but when one of the girls dropped out, my friend couldn't stomach the idea of going out with just me. Apparently I am trouble. I like to call it fun, but others have different definitions.
