WOW! Blank & Jones were awesome! I've seen them a few times before but last night... they kicked @SS!

Also, not your usual Hollywood crowd but more of a SPUNDAE@Circus crowd. Saw many familiar faces! I had a great time and yes I just got home!

Great music, pretty cool vibe, and.. GOOD TIMES!

i was very surprised to see you out that late! i had fun but i left at 330. was dead and i just woke up and i have to work on my car today. i knew that if i stayed id sleep too late.

Hellz I stayed til it was over, 7:00am... walked out and YIKES! It's day time! hahaha...

Well, I've seen Blank & Jones many times before, but have to say that this was the first time that I left before their set ended. It wasn't because I needed to be up early, but rather due to this kinda monotonous hard house style beat that I heard through most of their songs.

Seems that everything was either remixed hard style or perhaps a track was added into the mix to bring out this fast, overpowering "bang bang bang." It just didn't seem to go with a lot of the music and after hours of this , I got tired of it and went home.

The place was really packed though, and seemed like most of the crowd was enjoying it. Piet and Jaspa came on at 2:30, and since the set times had been advertised as 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., I had thought they would only get to do a 1 1/2 hour set, but it actually turned out to be 4 1/2 hours then! While I was in line earlier in the night, I overheard one of the security people saying "we'll probably not even open that area tonight" (perhaps referring to the upstairs chill area, which was closed off for the first several hours), so I think this large of a crowd may have been unexpected!

Was great to hear some of the local DJ's upstairs who had been at Spundae Circus before, but this area is a smoker's paradise. I had to leave and go downstairs so I could breath some clean air, and a friend said that this night wasn't as bad as usual up there! It's not like this area was open air either, it was covered so felt just like being in Europe. Hopefully they'll put Kristina in the main room when she plays there, or I'll need to invest in a gas mask...

I will give credit to Avalon & Spundae for letting the DJ's spin longer though. Last time I remember that happening was in Las Vegas when Tiesto started at 3:30 a.m. and the owner of club ICE came out and announced on the mic that they were extending his set to 8! I had even commented on the TA forum back then that Vegas has no rules, but in LA everything shuts down at 4 a.m. (sometimes right in the middle of an encore track!) Hey, now I guess we can say that what happens in LA stays in LA too...

I would have made you go longer! I kinda miss my late night/day partying! This new girlfriend of mine isn't much of an afterhours/electro music fan. (I should let her go because of that huh?)

Yeah.

I had an awesome time last night!!!!!!!!
It was so nice seeing familiar faces! I shed a couple tears of joy (I'm such a nerd, heehee). I can't wait for Summer to get hear 'cause I will be down here the whole time. YAY!

The music was great. Who opened up for Blank and Jones? I really enjoyed his set.

I did not take too many pictures, but I will post the ones I have within in a couple of days.

Missed you guys! I am so happy I was able to see you all.
*hugs*

Love how poeple express their love when they get 4 hour sets in LA....

Spundae nights in SF...it's kinda the norm. If it's a big DJ, usually 12:00am - close (4:00am - 4:30am depending on the crowd...if the DJs get tired and their's still an insane crowd, a closer will come on).
