Just let me clarify that it wasn't really our show. We had 2 acts booked 
into the opening party. The show was pretty good. It was a bit 'showcase' 
like. Running order of the acts probably should have been a bit different 
so that it flowed better but what can you do. Unfortunatly Coldcut's set 
got pushed back later and there set was cut short due to scheduling, but 
they rocked anyway. If anyone caught it, the software they were using to 
mix the audio and visual is what we are releasing next year. 

As for CMJ. It's always that way. As with any confernece (Midem, Pop 
Komm, etc...) if you really want to see a particular show it involves a 
whole lot of early lineups. Not always so easy in NY as you've usually 
spent most of the evening waiting in line to eat, stuck in cross-town 
traffic, etc...

Oh well, I'm glad to be back home
