Ruby Laughter, LI, NYC  March 16  c/o Bobbles!!

The space was *really* nice, although a bit small. This was a
store-front recording studio with the two music rooms
underground, and a living room with couches and TV
upstairs. (This party was truely underground! heh) Being in the
"basement" meant no windows - which meant the strobes worked
wonders in the main room. It is amazing what this piece of
electronics is capable of. 

Weird that each room had a raised space, I guess for a drummer or
somesuch. However in the main room this gave more bass-power!
yes. :)

And the wall to wall carpetting proved extremely
popular, especially in the Ambient room. People felt we were in
someone's living room - heck it was Bob and our living room for
the evening!

Sadly, Bob's maximum number of people of 75 did not show (how
many tickets did you sell total?) and so there were times when
only one or two people were dancing. One problem was that the
main room became a sweat bath after a lot of dancing - next time
you use this space Bob, make sure to put some sort of additional
Fans/cooling units in the main room somehow.

Otherwise depsite some opening technical difficulties (the ground
plug ripped out of the mainroom mixing board? ieee! Some sound
problems, etc) the sound and lights were swell. (when was the
last time you used that word? ;) )

(Other technical difficulties of a different sort too - hope
everyone who got flats managed to purchase the tires they needed today.)

As I was either, for the most part dancing in the hard room, or
tending the water bar in the ambient room, things were pretty crazy.

Ambient Room / Venus Flytrap - amazingly smooth set considering
he didn't have a pair of headphones to use for most of the time.

Missed Matt Lehrer - some people said there was some funky
Electro going on!

Heinous - some killer acid towards the end

Missed Skinner - sorry - doing water bar duty!

Dylan Dryzen - massive good set - taking us to another world!

Frquency M - a great way to close out the night - 

Props out to the Ambient DJs too. :) Have fun in Toronto Sheldon!

Shout-outs to everyone who was there, Rich/Spil for giving me a
ride from Hugh's to the space, Mark/Machine Media/Huggy
Bear/Venus Flytrap (WOW - some some list of nicknames ;) ) for
giving me a ride to the train station, everyone who helped Bob
run the party - including Margaret, the DJs and so on and so
on. :) Oh and props to Paul and Laura who I shared the train rain
back to NYC on the LIRR with. (See you both at Mars!)

Oh yeah - almost forgot there were free lollipops and apples for
all! :)

And once again, please, please come to Bobbles's parties - they
are da bomb. He throws smaller vibe filled parties which register
as NILL on the "NYC-attitude" meter! As Hugh said, I am looking
forward to the Grit parties to come...hope to see YOU there!

love,

/Michael - sentinel
