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 :-)

2006/09/23 Second Annual LoveFest Parade after Party
π 2006-09-23 22:30 by Merlin in Clubbing

After the LoveFest, there was the after party, and a big party it was. It brought me fond memories of the 2004 Halloween Popsicle Trance Party (for that matter, it looked pretty obvious that the same people who setup the first event, setup this one too, good job guys).
The lineup was quite nice too: Christopher Lawrence, Paul Oakenfold, and Above & Beyond as highlights. Too bad Above & Beyond were at the end of the lineup, at 03:00 when we were quite tired already, especially as they just played killer tune after killer tune. Whoever sets up those lineups, and puts Above & Beyond at the way end, first thanks for bringing them over, but please, they deserve an earlier spot: they were the highlight of the night for me.
Oh, and who do you need to kill to have the DJ timeslots in advance? Why does it have to be so hard, or almost impossible to get that simple information when it's known and set beforehand? Please, publish this on the tickets or the main web site.
But all that said, it was a great night, and a great day when you add the LoveFest in the afternoon. You can go browse the pictures and videos of the lovefest after party
