The music was really fun, dancing outside by fire was awesome though I wish there was a single flat area to dance.
By far my favorite DJ was Twist. Both of his sets night and morning were amazing. I actually woke up to his morning set and left the tent to dance.
It was nice to see @YesThatCasey after a long hiatus and to hang out with @uchina and Liz.
It was also fun hanging out with Tom again and meeting his friend Tony.
The only thing I would have done different next time would be to get more videos and to not stay right in between the stages as it made a pretty crazy blend of music.
The last night of the week that I was supposed to take a vacation that I never happend, we went to Toronto to go see Andy C at Sound Academy.
It was an amazing 24 hours with about 6 miles of walking around the city to eat and then to and from the club to the Hotel.
Dancing to Andy was awesome. I believe the Sound Academy used to be the place called The Docks in the 90s. Its such an amazing location on the outer harbor.
Despite the posters promoting it on the street, I did not eat any LSD like 17 year old me would have.
Last night we went to the dance party at ohm where we saw Goth Trad from Japan. Its nice to have a dancing place a block away.
The music was pretty awesome. I danced most of the time we were there.
After wards we came home and had a brother/sister dance party in the dining room. I finally wore my "If you want my attention - Talk Baseball" shirt that @xandra convinced me to buy in the summer. It was a little extra half shirty.
I accidentally texted this image to a number one off from @xandra's. They were so confused.
The website seemed so promising Although I was was more than a little suspicious about the last minute venue change and the dropout of one of the headlining DJs.
I got these pictures in the last few minutes as the "police" were supposedly shutting down the party at 11PM shortly after it started. It sucked because the music was good and the floor was very danceable. At the same time it was about 150 degrees in there with no ventilation and no return entry.
Originally the party was supposed to be at a much larger venue. We I saw it was moving to the small Moose Lodge, I wrote and asked the promoter how 2000+ people were supposed to fit in there. He said, "don't worry we have it covered." Maybe, we have it covered meant we are going to cover all of the windows and doors and then pretend the police are shutting down after we steal all of your money.
It was pretty terrifying because they really had no exits. I didn't realize at first but the fire exists and windows were all closed up like on those horrible after school specials where everyone dies at the concert.
It was weird because as far as we could tell the police never showed up. So basically there were a bunch of drugged out ravers all over the street which was a pretty fun spectacle in and of itself.
Afterwards we ended up just crusing around Pittsburgh. We already had the hotel so we went to their version of Allentown, followed by their version of Chippewa. The dance club we ended up at called Diesel was pretty sweet on the inside. I feel like @lilho would have loved it.
It is crazy the next two night have a whole bunch of DJs I want to see and dance to but in places I don't really enjoy dancing at. I want a freakin' big ass dancefloor where I don't feel crowded. Its so sad that a giant space like Tabu closed down because nothing filled it and then you have places like OHM that have such tiny dance floors and have good DJs.
I really like Josh The Funky 1 I am so surprised they got him tonight at OHM. I think I am going to go anyways. Sadly, one of the local DJs I really like named Loony Toons is not playing tonight even though he is on the tour for the stop tomorrow night in Rochester.
I would much rather see him somewhere like this:
They tomorrow it is Happy Hardcore night, which I also always enjoy, but once again at Ohm. I wonder if I will even go to either. I mean its not a terrible place but I just really crave dance space.
Then there is also drum and bass at Staples. But it has the same small dance space problem.
Here is a pic of Tilt nightclub in Rochester. I haven't been there but this is the size space I want to go to. WHy can buffalo never maintain that. Thats why I miss Raves in warehouses or abandoned theatres, buildings, etc - sure there was asbestos but I would trade that for a good dance space, lol.
I feel the beginning of being sick on the night I wanted to go see Dieselboy and Dj Dara at the OPM lounge. I guess it cost $15 which was kind of expensive considering there would be very little dance space I am sure but it is probably the last opportunity I would have to see that combo in my life. I guess I have to start giving shit up in order to pay for the mansion.
We went to OPM lounge but they wouldn't let us in because @terry forgot his ID. So here I am programming again. That is the third time I haver been turned away from OPM lounge because one of the people I was with didn't have ID. It's so weird because we deifnately don't look young.
I want to go to this tomorrow night in Toronto but I doubt we will do that either as we can never organize anything.
