Since I suck and had a show in portland last night, I couldn't make it but i have gotten 5 different text messages from people saying it was of epic proportions! Talking with ATB Friday night, I could see how excited he was to take part in this and man oh man I am freakin ticked off i missed it :(

Dude, that was the best damn lovefest of them all. We got there at 3:15, circled around the floats to the local love and met up with a few SFTA's. Hit up the spundea float at 4 and met a lot of LATA's for the first time. By 5 I was stumbling. Hit up 1015 and got more sloshed. Now its 6:42am, feeling half sober and ready to do it again in 30 minutes at endup.

It was awesome. I had more fun at this Love Fest than any of the others to date. Tunes were great, floats were awesome. It was such a nice day, we got so lucky with the weather to have all that sun and no rain! Hope everyone took lots of pics, looking forward to seeing them.

Thank goodness.
Best LoveFest EVAR! So many people! Think i twas way past 100,000 peeps this year. It was shoulder to shoulder to the far corners of civic center plaza!
Only downer is I forgot to turn my work email off on my phone and my battery died before the festival was over. Battery dies within about a day if I keep the email on. If I turn it off and only turn it on when needed, phone will last a few days w/o issue....stupid me.
Gotta send Michelle back off to SoCal soon (whaaaaaaaaa!) but then will be trying to see what's going on later today before Ferry tonight! Before I ship myself off to Tokyo tomorrow!

Wasn't able to make it down to lovefest until late afternoon, my girlfriend didn't want to get out there early and I didn't blame her, this is actually one the the first years we haven't been working at the parade or after party so it was nice to chill out for a change. :D
As we approached civic center the sound could be heard blocks away and since I live up hill from civic center we had a good view of the crowd which was massive... wall to wall, corner to corner, the whole place was packed! First stop was the opel/qool float where syd gris was throwing down some sick progressive and funky electro tracks but it doesn't matter what Syd plays his music is always fresh and inspiring... we stayed for his whole set because the music was rockin and we ran in to lots of friends there. :)
After that we walked around for a bit and ended up over at the Spundae float, not sure who was playing but it was so packed that there was no way to stand in front of the float so we just hung out on the sidewalk for a bit, getting pushed around by drunk and messed up people before deciding enough was enough and we headed off to get some coffee around the corner.
Starbucks was swamped with festival goers, it actually looked like a raver invasion! man I wish that I hadn't left my camera at home because it was a sight to behold. a line for the bathroom stretched out the door. there were easily 20-30 people in line for the bathroom alone. the store manager was trying his best to police the line because the bathroom was for "customers only" but it was futile, no one was paying attention to him... the poor employees looked haggard, it was like their first day on the job or something... they were clearly not prepared for a day like the one they had just experienced but they managed to take our order and we got our caffine fix before heading back to the spundae float.
As the sun was close to setting some of the crowd had started to disperse, making a little room in the crowd off to one side of the float where we found room to stand, kyau and albert began their set just as we arrived and the crowd was going crazy. Before long we were surrounded by friends and people we know from the clubs here in SF and it was fun to see everyone and share the experience! above & beyond followed KvA, the music was great and time just flew by... cell phone communication was a disaster, I suddenly had over 30 txt messages dumped on my phone that people had been sending me all afternoon and clearly some of my own outgoing txt messages had been delayed as well, we made a beeline for an exit right as a&b finished their set, and headed off to Chevys a couple blocks away just in time to nab a booth. Score! Darin Epsilon and Dj Samer joined us for dinner and kept the conversation interesting. the service was terrible but Chevys was so crowded I really can't blame them, the staff was clearly overwhelmed.
Over all we were only at lovefest for a few hours time but it was jam packed with great music and lots of friends.
We had a great time... I hope everyone else did as well! :D

This day was so much fun. My first time ever playing on a float and it was alot of fun. Had a hard time seeing the display on the cdjs from all the bright sunshine ( thank god it didn't rain ) and yes, i know i look a little over excited ha ha.
watch Dave T in the background, smoking, drinking and blowing up balloons all at the same time.. mad skills i tell you !!

You know it was a good LoveFest when you wake up on Sunday not remembering how you got to your motel but remember dancing to Cafe Del Mar by ATB.

Lovefest was a blast. I had a great time. Yeah, it was cool dancing to Cafe Del Mar even though it was played twice. Saw some dude O.D. and had to be carried out by a stretcher. It was pretty crazy. But yeah, I had an awesome time.
