We started with a Halloween TFSF Party at Jonny Atom's place, very nice party:

We got ourselves a new Paris Hilton :)

And if Paris Hilton can do it, so can I :) This was extra fun because in all these years, I had acually never used any DJ equipment. I know by osmosis the general concepts though, so by just looking at the decks and playing with buttons, I was able to link them so that the 2nd deck could read from the USB stick in the first deck.
From there, I was able to select tracks and start playing. I'm sure my transitions were not the best ones in DJ history, haha, and I managed to get enough things working that I was able to DJ and transition from track to track. Autosync helped of course :)

DJ ledtrancesurgeon in the house :)

We then went to Temple in SF and arrived just before it opened, which was good because the line became huge before long. Saturday was a very busy night for all the clubs. Nice club, it was still filling up when I arrived, but cool to have a look:

social media queen hard at work ;)

From there, I went back to my car and headed over to Audio 10mn away, as I wanted to attend Dave Dresden's OTC party at Audio. Dave gave us a musical journey across genres to a room that got packed before long:

unexpected ran into Natasha whom I hadn't seen in quite a while, what are the odds?

Eric and radiant Karin Bash (check out the eye colors)

my other friends were all over SF, parties everywhere. Alvin made it though

Dave went on his 4H journey that we all got to enjoy until 02:00:

Here is a pretty good video summary of some of his tracks:

And before long, it was time to leave and go to respective after parties. Mine didn't suck :)

everyone had the 'where to go next' look :)

At least we didn't get leave hungry :)

Given that it was mostly during the day, I took my brighter LED outfit, which worked well. Glad to have run into a bunch of friends:

Lots of other people with fun costumes:

randomly ran into Spencer Brown who actually recognized me as I passed by :)

Like I said, lots of stages and fun:

Went to the temple rooftop:

I then switched to my better LED costume for the night:

And we then went to the after party at DNA Lounge to see more psytrance and Khromata:

I had a surprise for Eileen

Video summary:

Like last times, he had lots of fun slides, it was a great evening (a bit over 2H):

He then talked about a lot of movies, which was the point of course :)

the odds of asteroids hitting major monuments, is of course just about 0

Very good point about the 2nd law of thermodynamics, humans don't create more energy than the energy to feed them

and the sad truth that war of the world removed evolution to add god back in :(

oh, and this was the coolest part of back to the future I never even noticed (you need to see the talk)

And we ended with the starry sky controversy in Titanic:

It was another very fun night, very quick video summary:

The side room also had good music, 2 for the price of 1:

Of course, seeing friends is a good part of the fun, too:

Ferry Corsten was not amused :)

And after a 5.5h set, Markus came to greet the crowd:

Video Summary:

Thank you everyone, lots of fun as always.

Then came time for Giuseppe:

Chris took a short break and went back to work to close the night :)

Great to see friends again:
