Club was at capacity when I was like 5 feet from the entrance. We stayed until about 1:00AM after which we went to Gabby's on King for some drinks and food. Came back at 2:30AM and it was still AT CAPACITY and there was still a line up there. |
holy !! i hadn't planned on going but was contemplating it around midnight. figured i prolly had a few beers too many and decided not to drive. good decision but sad i missed what seems like an awesome set. was it recorded? i'm glad you guys had fun! |

First, Aleksandra...I was that clumsy clown who stepped on your foot...I was drunk or something...you had open toed shoes on right? Sorry again!!
Secondly, my synopsis:
1. EARLY OPENING: I loved the early opening for drinks etc. and had a great time chatting with everyone...although I did start getting a bit antsy when Sasha told me that DH was late getting in from the airport and something about lost luggage...I started remembering the Sasha/Digweed fiasco but wiped the beads of panic sweat away when reports of a 10:15 start started circulating...
2. THE SET: Wow...he did it again...flawless programming through out...I stood by the booth at the front of the dance floor just watching the master at work. I loved it aside from the "slow down" around 330 or so...but Danny even APOLOGIZED to the crowd (if you were near the front you could hear him) right at the end for "losing focus" near the end as well...must have been thinking about his lost set of vinyl. An apology like that show again what kind of respect he has for his audience...
3. COMPARED TO LAST YEAR: It was going to be hard, if not impossible, to top last year's set...2007 was THAT good but also because expectations for this year were also THAT high. I noticed his programming was more methodical last year...he punctuated his set with a regular techier track every 3-5 tracks whereas this year it wasn't as noticeable. But, I'm splitting hair. Because of the "slow" period at 3:30 this show gets a 9 instead of a 9.5/10 last year. I can never give a 10...who knows what the future holds LOL?
4. FOOTWORK STAFF: Hats off to Stef, Joel, Jon Jon, Karolina, and all the other good people at FW. That club has really nailed it for doing things right!! Not a single complaint to anyone! And THANK-YOU for not getting greedy and ramming the place with people...I'm sorry for all those that came late and did not get in but it really made for a better experience inside. DON'T BE LATE for Lee Burridge! I think FW is gaining a lot of momentum now and shows like Burridge and Howells will likely sell out at FW from now on...
PS Jon Jon....you and I agree on the show all around...this is rare! Cool! :)
And Peter, I told you that it would be worth coming for the last 3 hours for $30 anyway!! |

I heard that as well. They would never have a reason to raid Footwork.. It's the unsketchiest afterhours ever. |

Glad people enjoyed it, I for one didn't. Then again I never heard Howells before so didn't know what to expect. My friend told me she went last year and it was insane, so I took her word for it.
Anyhow I got there and they weren't letting people in, so we all had to give the bouncer an extra $20, bypassed, got in.
He was great at working the crowd, and played some nice tracks for a while but that was it. The atmosphere was awesome and people seemed to be really enjoying themselves, which is always good.
We stayed until close anyway since it was around 2 hours away when we got in, and there was the occasional good track now and then. Overall cash well wasted, but at least now I know. |

Well coming for the last 2hours of a marathon set is pointless.. you miss the whole production, build and story.. You don't get the full/proper experience. |
