Yesterday was so busy, classes, a test, a radio show, a meeting at 6, and 
one of my favorite cartoons came on at 7 (i had to tape it). And a party.
So at about 7:30 I hop in the car with my rekkids and embark on that 30 
minute drive to Waynesville. Of course I get lost (I _always_ get lost in 
that town). Ok, I've spend two hours combing a beach on a dark night 
looking for a party. I've spent half a day in a national wilderness area 
looking for a party. But I've never had this much trouble in a little town.. 
After a while I remembered to turn the radio down, open the window, and 
listen for throbbing bass, which leads me straight to the party :)

I get there a bit before 8:30 and the space is an abandoned grocery 
store.. Xjn and Jayme's equipment is set up on stage and Xjn is driving a 
small crew of younger kids nutty with hard bass and acidic overtones :) 
About 8 cool kids are dancing, all probably in high school.. there are 
maybe 30 people in the place total.. small crew but everyone is nice, and 
the Waynesville crew (Jayme, Adam, Tonya, etc) are all there. :)

To make this short, sound system is great, even if the amp is cooled by a 
cold soda.. The space is excellent, it has video games and automatic 
doors (a neo-geo upright with Samurai Showdonw II :)
Xjn's set is great, the boy keeps improving...i was very impressed (again) 
Jayme's set is great, very clean, and both sets are making the kids dance 
like mad.
The people there were great. I wish kids like that came to our parties 
more..

One of the funniest moments was went everyone started clapping with the 
handclaps in Jayme's set... :)
I brought records, but didn't spin, just the live stuff that night.

Oh yeah, and I got to tweak "the knob" :)

Ok, lame review, but I gotta go. In a few minutes a bunch of people are 
comming over for lunch, so anyone in the area is invited to my house.
See EVERYONE at Drums & Space tonight
