The dust seems to have settled, and I've caught up on rest so I can finish logging my adventures.

Saturday started with a brisk bike ride to retrieve my car from the hill before the meter maids could have their wicked way. Being the good host, I picked up some beans & bagels for the slumbering minions visiting from denver in my living room. We eventually took a walk for some lunch, and spent some time trying to piece together the Trail of Dead setlist, before kicking the evening off with a round of oc. It was vu ja-dé all over again when we landed at the Sink prior to the Sound Tribe Sector 9 show at (you guessed it) the Fox.

Let's talk about the sts9 bit for a moment, shall we? Saturday's show was the last night of this tour, and one of two all live PA sets, as opposed to their usual instrumenty shows. And as luck would have it, they worked out the kinks at the denver show the night before. Two powerbooks took center stage, flanked by key drums & percussion - minimal guitron & bassitron were played. They went 2 hours straight playing some sick organelectroisms - it was dare I say, wicked awesome, or awesomely wicked, you choose. We had a strong showing of folks in our crew, and were all jazzed up enough to continue grooving to the tribe dj's closing set until lights up at 2am.

Milling about outside the show, and not ready to call it a night, we followed a tip about a house party nearby. As we walked, you could hear the house music from a few blocks away, which is always a good sign. The 'heaven & hellraisers' party was in full effect when we showed up, and lasted well past a reasonable hour. Special thanks to jumpsuit Jane and the guy in the cape!
