Yep, exactly my point. Standing in a sea of humanity right in front of the stage, there's definitely a temperature gradient involved. Laz and I were right in front of the tower stage front, and the sea of people giving off heat combined with the extreme stillness of the air made it quite pleasant.

Hehe (-: (To answer the original questioner, I'm originally from the Boston area, but in 20 years of L.A. living my blood hasn't thinned out yet. Also, I have some extra insulation courtesy of, erm, Body By Michelin (-: ) ObIDM: Organic by bits review part 3: Underworld. Great duo, shame about the useless 3rd appendage. The poor 3rd guy doesn't seem to know what to do; as he serves no real purpose. If I wanted vocals, etc. ... Guitars? I couldn't hear his, and I don't want to hear guitars. The rest of the time he spent trying to pretend he's Bez from Happy Mondays/Black Grape or something. But the music the other two guys were making was interesting. Sometimes I found it a bit boring (too much samey stuff; same tempos, rhythms, etc.), and other times it was quite good ... and they had excellent visuals to match. Probably the only band during whose set I felt like I really wish I had tried harder to find small letters of the end of the alphabet ... although Orbital was excellent as well, but that's part 4 ... - Greg
