some additional thoughts about AE in DC:
1. the first dj (rob hall?) played hell interface (yay !!!!!) - which
sounded fantastic on a loud system.
2. and he played other wicked electro
3. men's recovery project was complete shit - and they reveled in it.
4. it seemed like a good chunk of the crowd was there for the complete
shit (see above)
5. ae started out four on the floor and moved quickly into utter chaos
6. but i could follow the thread (read: beat) that wove the chaos together
7. except for about the last twenty minutes. i don't know what the fuck
happened then. as a reviewer of an earlier show said "that's when ae ate my
head."
8. i only counted 3 tracks. but i was, uh, drunk - so who knows?
9. a friend of mine swears he heard snippets from tri-repetae. i think
he's off his rocker.
10. the crowd seemed more industrial than raver-rific to me. but the glow
sticks were annoying (but then - they're always annoying).
11. i didn't see a conga line (thankfully). was i at the same show as
heather?
12. haswell sounded interesting - but after ae he was boring and we left.
13. i fall squarely in the amber/tri-repetae camp - and i still thought the
show was amazing. it was anything but repetetive. i think insane would be
the appropriate descriptive term
14. who knew that the apple symbol on mac powerbooks glows in the dark?
