Can't say I really had a bad time at this party, can't say I had a blast either.
I'm more of a house/techno cat. I tried to keep an open mind though.
At times, I felt like a fish out of water. At others, I found myself sitting and paying attention so as to take in the whole picture and really try to "get it". The whole sound, the scene associated, various rudiments and styles etc etc... In short, it's starting to grow on me.
I actually found some sets I enjoyed. My faves being the two-step acts, Slippy and the awesome tag-team set upstairs playing some awesome 2-step with a more UK garage feel..... (/wishes more people were into garage/2-step...it really is the HOTTEST music)
I really enjoyed Ming & FS and thoroughly enjoyed watching Steve and Katie do their thang on the dance floor. (and then shamelessly make fun of me for not knowing some cheesey rap lyric...it's all good though. LOL)
If anything, this party was well worth going to because of the awesome people I've had the very fortunate opportunity to know/meet.
Jamal: smoothest dood evah!
Kristin: Shizza Phizziza...thanx for puttin' it all togetha'!
Katie: Guess I just have to listen to more rap.. hehe
Sara: Glad I came. Sux you and Kev left so early from the afterparty.
Kev N: Glad you were in a better mood after the whole Muni ordeal.
Kev: Now THATS what I call rocking yourself to sleep! lol.
Pat: Kewl seeing you again. You've earned your cool points back.
Connell: Don't you ever get tired of running around?
Paul: Definitely a mad chill kat... we gotta chill some more, man.
Steve: Didn't know you could get down like that. Cool chillin' wit ya as always.
Paul and Steve's cohorts: Sorry I don't remember all your names...cool chillin with you all afterward.
Chris: I've seen you at SO many parties... glad I got the oppurtunity to chill with you and to find out that your from my neck of the woods.
Luke and Chrissie: Very nice to have the pleasure of meeting you two again. I look forward to seeing you guys at Starscape.
I remember meeting others, but unfortunately, I don't remember your names. Please forgive me.
The afterparty, in my opinion wasn't all THAT sketchy. We just adjusted ourselves accordingly and nothing came of it regardless as to how awkward the situation was. It ended up being a very relaxed and chill setting. I had a great time winding down with all involved.
