in Clubbing, Dreamstate, Festivals
Last year, Dreamstate was in January, which was a bit cold and rainy when we got out. To be honest, it was much nicer in May, even if it was a bit close to EDC as a result. It was a great lineup, a nice 16 hours of trance with 16 DJs
This was the perfect excuse to go try my new shirt + pants with neopixels I had worked on (including new light effect code I wrote and battery saving patch to run up to 12H on a single battery). I found a few other people who were lit up, but compared to burning man where you'd get "oh, 200 neopixels, so cute, I have 1000 Watts' worth on my art car, they can be seen 2 miles away", there weren't too many people lit up. I found 5 or 6 of them though:
After some questions, I wrote a separate page on my lit up shirt and pants.

Pure Nrg did a great set playing drums on top of that
Good to see Paul Oakenfold again, it's been 16 years since I first saw him
hard to get Oakey smiling nowadays, he doesn't seem that happy the rest of the time
