Ok, so I like Techno, more specifically Trance. Unfortunately, the US, it's let's just say... a bit behind in that department. If you ever hear such music on the radio, or even in the street, let me know (for instance, in Australia, I heard great Techno in even a waterslide park of all places).
Anyway, at least, with San Francisco nearby, I've had some opportunities to see some great DJs, even if at least at 1015, I've often been disappointed by what they played compared to their usual sets (it's been better overall at Ruby Skye in the recent years).

Over time, I've seen many of my favorite DJs across the world, whether it was locally, in New York City, Canada, Australia, and of course Ibiza, and at Halloween 2004, I finally attended some great local parties that proved that you could get the good stuff locally too (even if all the artists came from other countries .
That said, I ended up finding out that some of my favourite DJs who put out great CDs and mixes, unfortunately mixed mostly boring tunes when I saw them live. That was quite a disappointment, but I have been hanging on for the few times where some DJs did actually play great live sets). It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it

First, I was not very happy that Air New Zealand didn't have a direct flight from Auckland to SFO on Monday, but since I had no intention on making a non direct flight (that would be non stop for you people at United) to SFO, I opted for coming back a day early, on Sunday.
I wasn't overjoyed by that, but in the end it turned out to be a good thing as Armin ended up being scheduled to play at Ruby Skye on sunday night. While I onlyhad had about 4.5H of sleep on the plane, and was a bit jetlagged, I was able to go Ruby Skye and enjoy the party, with much thanks to the kind soul who got me there and back :)

Armin did a fair set, just not too many of my favourite tunes, but I met the usual suspects there, and was in good company, so it was a quite nice night indeed :)
