I can walk past ten puddles without it bothering me until you have puddles in the middle of walkways, hallways, doorways and staircases. More than a few times the puddlers would see me walking towards them, all their legs blocking the walkway in a row, and when I finally reach them, none of them bothered moving their legs. This is what I meant by navigating e-puddles. I would have to step around and between legs to get past them. Can't Skills make like the back quarter of the auditorium a dedicated puddle section or something? |

RANT: I was in line for 2.5 hours! 9:30pm till MIDNIGHT...
As for all the people on e, well thats what I expect from a 'rave'...
I had a pretty good time, but maybe thats because I expected the e-puddles and 90% of the people there to be hopped up of pills. Then again Ten15 is the same exact way from my experiences ;) Everytime I am there it seems like 8 out of 10 people are tore up off pills, but I have learned to ignore it.
If I ever go to a Skills event again, then I will NOT get WILL-CALL! My buddy decided to come the last minute. I went to the end of the line down by market street. He walked right in at 9:30 with no line. I waited 2.5 hours... I WAS PISSED!! |
Yeah, willcall line was DREADFUL! I learned my lesson well from LP, ticket in hand ftw! Our line wrapped around two corners of the block and we still got in in like 15 minutes. Impressively fast! |

I agree completely with esper, where the was everyone going all the time?!? :conf: It distracted me from the music so much. I have been to one other skills event besides SF LPAP (Robert Nickson and Sonorous) and the crowds were not that bad. Going to a skills party like this makes me wish I was 21 so that I can go to clubs and hopefully avoid these kinda crowds.
It was fun to finally meet some TAs and put some faces to the names. I met esper, DaveT, lex, mellymel, and the whole crew with the white TA shirts who I forgot all their names :toothless .
As for the music, solid tracks were played, maybe not in the best order or best mixing but good music for the most part. I love that Blank and Jones remix of Mr. Brightside for some reason. I wish the sound was a bit more 'on' that night. And I hope Thomas Datt is feeling ok this morning :haha: :thepirate , he had plenty to drink after his set. |

| Signum in my opinion played the best set of the night and they ing killed it. Really wonderful use of the lfo and the filters on the xone 62 really really wonderful music that they were playing. Thomas datt played wonderfully too. Anyone know what the second track he played was the one with the wonderful guitar build up. Really really good set by blank and jones nightfly, cream, mr brightside to name a few. Rank 1 killed it too hearing original mix of airwave live was amazing. I too bounced out around deep voices set i wanted to see dj dan but was too damn tired. will call was ing redicoulous as was the fact that the speaker kept going out during signums set. the e puddles too i had some asshat sit down on my leg, he got a swift knee to the back but still crowd was very pushy one of the worst i've seen. Signum was amazing though i absolutely loved them will definately see them again. |

Yeah, sorry I don't have more to say about the music, and that my review is so negative. I had much higher expectations of the night, or maybe a naive perspective since this is pretty much my first rave in over six years. My intention that night was to stay til 4, but when it came down to it, it was pretty much a group consensus to leave when we did. Deep Voices was playing Super8 vs DJ Tab - Helsinki Scorchin as we left too, shame I wasn't even motivated enough to stay for that. Seeing people trashed early on was expected. Especially after I walked over a large pile of white powder spilled on the sidewalk in the ticketholders line. I guess the idea is the more drugs you can do before getting in, the less chance of you getting caught with it at the door. I have nothing against party drugs by the way, just people that get clueless, rude and ugly on them. On a positive note though, my main pet peeves didn't really stand out last night: i didn't smell BO or farts everywhere, didn't get sweated on or elbowed in the head, didn't have any drinks spilled on me or cigarette burned clothes, and I didn't step in any vomit. w00t! |
The negativity is actually appreciated...I consider it blunt, brutal and honest...straightforward. Now I'm REALLY glad I didn't go, otherwise I probably woulda started cracking some heads. All that stupid behavior is unacceptable and downright annoying, not to mention, immature. I woulda been pissed off too. |

i agree about the 'space making'. my brother was really feeling it being as how he's not quite the dancing type so every few seconds he got pushed or kicked in the shin.
overall a good experience, but too many tards... :( |
Yeah, dammit. Hopefully Lis's group shot came out better. I'm just glad the guy didn't drop my camera. The first guy I asked was hilarious. He had the most confused look of terror on his face when I asked him to take a pic for us :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: |
