Saw my first world class DJ tonight. I believe he's ranked #3 in Europe. My wacky buddy Chiki Miki alerted me to it, threw us on the guest list, and a group of us met to watch. It was a cool experience and something I now appreciate just a bit more. The only unfortunate aspect was that I'd gotten completely and utterly hammered each of the past two nights and I felt it best to ease up on the imbibing this time around. (There were other factors too.) Thing about trance/electronica is one must be in the proper state of mind to get the full effect. That is Chiki Miki's natural state, but I require a little warmup. Ok, the other annoyance was that it was raining fairly hard the entire night which doesn't improve the warmup experience when standing outside in line waiting to get in.
Still, it was a nice change of pace for a Friday for me. I'd been going to Psyforia with Chiki Miki when it's on and I'm around. I like the more intimate and casual setting of it. They host it on the Charles River at the most unlikely place every month. Very interesting contrast between the bar and the gathering area.
Note to self: I should really consider stocking up on ear-plugs for just such occasions. I value being able to hear.

how's the X?
you don't need to invest in earplugs... all my professors in music school told me to use tissue if you don't have ear plugs handy... you don't want to eventually lose your hearing! just tear up that napkin... i promise... it won't scream :)
Thanks for the tip J. Actually, a friend I went with who is a recording engineer from your alma mater suggested the same thing. But I really like those squishy spongey plugs. I remember first using them when I was young and on an aircraft carrier with the family and thinking how neat they were.
