wow, you really made the most of your trip! I am jealous that you saw Armin. I know what you mean about him not playing his own tracks, BUT, I think that says something about the type of person he is, you know? He isn't trying to shove his stuff in our faces he is introdcuing us to everything. that's class.

I have never been to cali. I def want to check it out some time.

glad you had fun!

Pics of events in SF (and the eye candy that I managed to not see )...

Here was the schedule at Popsicle 5
http://www.skillsdjworkshop.com/timeslots.html
Do you know any of the names listed there, other than the big ones?

Dammit, I looked through the schedule again last night, and I discovered that I was still there for half an hour while Thrillseekers played, but missed it. What I thought was the Thrillseekers wasn't.
You would think that they would play on the largest floor, but they didn't, and there was no identification of which room was which. I guess I couldn't distinguish between "Euro trance" and "cyber trance". So I was on the wrong floor the whole time. I think I stopped by the right place for little bit during the set, but it didn't seem to sound like him/them.
I should've looked up pics of the DJ's before heading out. Sad, so sad.

I did see a Dick's Last Resort in the Gaslamp, but I didn't eat there.

I meant to say Dick's Last Resort. Thanks for the correction.

Dick's Last Resort is definitely a unique place to eat at. The atmosphere is chaotic. Don't be surprised to be in the middle of food fights with people you don't even know. The music is too loud, the posters are obscene and vulgar, and the waitering staff is very charismatic but totally rude. At first I got turned off by the whole theme of the place (then again, I DID have a splitting headache the night I went), but I realized why it does great business: the food there is phenomonal. I've never eaten a better rack of ribs and order of mozzerella sticks than @ Dick's. If you go back to SD, make sure you stop by there.


K, I'll stop here since I sound like I'm doing a review for Zagat

SD is nice, but it's too bad there wasn't much going on on the Tuesday and Wednesday nights I was there.
It seems that 4th and B is where the big DJ's play when they're in town. But during the week, rock concerts happen there.
I also heard about Montage as being one of the few places in SD that stay open past 2 am (open til 4 am) but I didn't hear of anything happening there on those nights, and I did try to find it, but wasn't able to.

When I passed by Moose McGillycuddy's on the Tuesday night, I heard "Nothing but You" by PVD being played. Some other good tunes too when I passed by at other times. But there weren't many people there, and it didn't seem like my kind of place or crowd. A friend later told me that it's usually a meat market there.

Yup, that's the way to do it, especially when you don't know if or when you're coming back.


btw, here are the record stores I visited. Didn't feel like buying or taking time to listen though.
SF: Spundae, Esdjco, Frequency-8, Amoeba (all on Haight St)
SD: I stopped by one place in Hillcrest, but it was closed. Too bad I forget the name.
LA: Wax Records, This is Music, Beat Non Stop (all on Melrose Ave)
In LA, there's a whole bunch I didn't have a chance to see.

I was thinking about going there, but I arrived in SD late, and all the places were pretty much winding down at the time (around 11:30 pm), and hardly anyone was there. A friend took me to the Hillcrest area for dinner the following night.
Next door to Dick's is the Gaslamp Strip Club. It's not what you think though. http://www.gaslampsteak.com/
A Hustler store is a few blocks away.
