Marc's Public Blog - Clubbing and Trance

We met in Seattle Airport and went to get an RV (a few of us rode in it but slept in tents) and go to our camp site:

Alvin and Afik DJ'ed in the RV for us with portable equipment they took in the plane

We had premium camping, which was quite nice:

home sweet home

some people had better 'tents' :)

nice views of the gorge even from our location

Afik worked on putting his sign back together after the flight

On saturday, after spending some time at the camp, we went to the gorge side where the event was going to happen. I ducked out in a supposedly forbidden area to get some better shots. The gorge is definitely beautiful and a very nice area for a stage:

My friends made a dash for the merch booth, while I went up to get some pictures of the nice area and enjoy the music:

The maedow had a tent with talks with DJs:

Random people pictures:

tinlicker, cute

And here is a summary video of Day #1:

Things got nice around sunset:

And then it was time to enjoy darkness and the more popular DJs. Time for me to shine and looking for other people with shiny things :)

I made some custom gifs for the occasion

listening to this is like an endless fall to your death? :)

and finally above and beyond, 2 out of 3 as usual

love you too, Afik :)

then things got big :)

Ilan Bluestone finished the night starting with an interesting retake on Enigma, which many people didn't even recognize :) and after that it was time to head back to camp. I had heard a bit late that Seven Lions was playing nearby, so I went there and arrived late, but got to enjoy the end of his set (01:00 to 02:00):

The area also had a nice set of vendors:

Day #2 started with a nice yoga set with Paavo:

this was a fantastic idea, thanks to Paavo for the nice music

In the tent, Tony interviewed Seven Lions, and it was interesting to hear how he got into music and his special style of mixing dubstep and trance (both of which, when mixed together, I quite enjoy):

I then spent most of the day watching the show from a shaded spot. Sadly, I can't say I enjoyed any of the music during the day, it was definitely not trance, nor anything else that did much for me. The views were still nice and it got better as the sun set:

they nicely let a few people of the crowd in a viewing area behind the DJ

Here's a bit of music from Day #2 in the little that I found interesting:

I went to look for more night pictures:

the exiting thing was that I ran into Rory who made a totem pole using some of my arduino code

And by 22:30, it was over:

Now, the best part was still to come, I went directly to the DJ Van in the campground, and we got a huge treat of a great 3H set by many of the DJs who were there that weekend:

That got me in bed by 03:30 or so, and after not enough hours of sleep, it was time to drive back to the airport:
