sistawendy | review: Magnetic 2

If you have to have a twin, you could do far, far worse than

thevfrchick. I was delighted to have somebody to burble at as we wandered the Pacific Science Center.

I'll admit to being a trance cracker and spending a lot of time with local DJ & producer Osiris Indriya. He consistently puts on a good show; his set was more distinctive and had better flow than the national guy Jaia. It didn't hurt that all the art & the best outfits were in the trance room, either.

Biggest & best surprise: the little dinosaur room that I thought was going to have all the downtempo & experimental sounds -- it did last time -- was instead packed with solid, techie groove by Nordic Soul & Christina Childs. Damn, I've got to make it to Krakt, Childs's night the second Saturday of the month at Re-bar.

Nationally known house man Rithma was... good, but not good enough to make a squeeing fangirl out of me. Honorable mention: Gabriel Alexander.

Checked out the new breakbeat room, but its headliner Naha came on right at my scram time. Breaks continue not to be my thing.

My recent (ahem) silicone acquisitions stayed in place nicely even with all that moving around. Happiness.

Four hours of dancing & walking around after pruning an apple tree and running. Yeah, I think that's enough exercise for the weekend.
