The only good thing I can say about DJ Spooky's set @ DEMF is that it drove me away from the main stage to CPOP, and I got to see Minx, and I was in good position for Theo Parrish. I honestly didn't stick around long, because it was the first thing I saw when I walked in to Hart Plaza. Had I seen him at any time other than when I did, I would have been terribly dissapointed, but given that my expectations had yet to be set, it wasn't a big deal at all.
