well the, i don't know where the hell you were around 11p, and the dj who
played his laptop before i did was playing more mainstream stuff and not
techno, so i don't know what the fuck you were listening to, or where you
might've been @ the time.
and you're right i made a judgement 'cause it seems to me that whatever
shitty techno you were listening to wasn't being played. if you said that
my mixes weren't tight, i'd probably have to agree w/ you, and we would be
here talking about this shit. so if your only complaint is that you had to
sit in rodan for an hour, just like franz, john and i and watch yuppfest
2005, just like you did? too bad. it's where we had to play. sonotheque
isn't that much better.
