I was there and was really pleased with the whole event... the 4 turntable
on stage format worked really well and inspired a lot of crowd interest. as
far as the crowd being uninspred, I was kind of noticeing that at times I
was the only one dancing but it was hot and crowded (by 3am I was tired and
hot and didn't feel like dancing and a lot of other people probobly felt
the same way)... the show should have been at a bigger venue but there was
a shooting at Vinyl and the promoters decided to move the show to
wetlands... personally I would have liked to see that show on a bigger
sound system...

You didn't mention Wally & Swingsett's set downstairs... I thought it was
very progressive... did anyone else?

Peace,
