Now, I got to reinstall Linux on my home PC ;) > Friday night's Chain Reaction was cool, but I have a bit of >a mix feeling about it. > > I arrives at around 21:40, and looked like Monolake was already >playing for some time, I thing I head him for about 40 minutes, but >it was very nice, could recognize pieces from Interstate and >from "Hong Kong", but his show was a bit "nonchalant" ( in french ) >seems like he was having problem... when he finished his set, >the system kept playing, and he had to run up and close >everything. > Well, one thing for sure the crowd sucked! Quite a bit too much of "I must be seen here" people talking and not giving a damn during Monolake set. The only bad thing about the set was that it was too short and not loud enough ( or it was too much people talking ). Got the chance to chat a bit with Robert Henke, a really nice guy. > >I left at around 1:30AM, and did Scion Played ? before Monolake >or after I left ? If they played it was after you left, I left around the same time but I was there at 21:00.
