  Thanks for the more detailed review Benjamin (i'm glad Pat got you goin'
hehehe)...

  I agree with you that Techno has gotten funkier in the last 2 years, and
there is no better ambassador to illustrate the commonalities of techno, tech
house and  house than John Tejada.

  I'm jealous that i couldn't go.  I love SF.  There are only 2 things that I
don't like about SF:

  1. The cold in the summer; and
  2. They spend too much time obsessively hatin' on LA...it's an insecurity
that gets annoying very quickly.

    dope.

    marcus and i got in fri evening.  went to a quaint little spot with the
    dirty bird fellas (justin martin, sammy d, claude von stroke, young chris
    martin and some other dude) and then went home to get some sleep before
    saturday.  woke up at 10 sumthin, fucked around on haight then went
record
    shopping at tweekin'. then about 6 we showed up at the love parade where
it
    stopped (for those who don't know the parade marched down the street and
    then they planted at city hall with all the floats surrounding a large
    common area.).  we hung out at the stompy float only to realize sound
guys
    are all the same.  (maybe since the speakers are off you should check
those
    things that power them first.  i.e. the amps instead spending 5 minutes
    looking at the mixer).  went around to various other floats and stopped
at
    the om float.  missed justin martin but some other guys were playing and
    then nikola went on and reminded them that people were there to dance.
we
    left at 9 had some 'naan and chutney' and then headed to dna lounge to
hear
    that lineup (fred everything, jt and lance, hipp-e, rithma, andrew
kelsey).
    we were there til about 1 and then the underground itch came and we
bailed
    out to love grenade (jeno, garth, m3, spun, phil smart, the baroness,
solar,
    etc).  it was great to be there even the parking guy was hella cool.  the
    dance floor wasn't tho.  in fact it was hot as shit.  perfect.  sweat
    through everything i was wearing.  stayed until the wee hours mostly
    upstairs where it was a little funkier.  took a 5 hour nap. then we tried
to
    go record shopping and the store we went to was closed so we walked down
to
    'the end up'. (john tejada, terry francis, justin long, fred everywhere,
the
    baroness, etc)  everyone told us it'd be full of crack heads, psssh as if
    the whole scene isn't full of em.  but anyway we walked in about 2pm and
    left at like 5:30  tshirts drenched through and through.

    overall the people were hella cool (note:  girls just be yourself, the
    ladies up there, although not always as polished as LA girls, exude a
    certain confidence and style that makes em just hot. and the trannies up
    there are so well done they may trick ya.).  everyone helped us with
    directions and what not and we had an overall great time that will
inspire
    us musically for hot minute i'm sure.

    john tejada almost made my head explode.  genreless.  i repeat GENRELESS
    house set.  tech, deep, electro etc.  all basses were covered.  not just
    techno.  i can't say that i even reaaaally like techno.  BUT, i like
techno.
    it has become alot more funky the past couple years so now i love it and
i
    play some and househeads don't know the difference.  well some do, but
they
    love it too.

    it's come full circle people.  the music is comfortably under one roof
    again.  thank jack.


    peace,

    benny



    ps i saw some LA heads at the parade and then i didn't see em again.  if
yer
    gonna go then GO.  sleep is for the weak.  sleep is for the week i say.
the
    undergound and the end up.  hot shit!  dope records!
