this is copied form what i posted on the arc board: i expected a lot more negative reviews, honestly but it was an eventful night for me. first, the music - i agree with a lot of others that it was boring. they started off real nice from bill's set and took it nowhere. i was waiting and waiting for it to pick up and it didn't. i did like what i was hearing at first, nice and funky, techy beats. but it could have been the same song the first four hours. (with the exception of the star spangled banner bit, that was cool) so i was gettin pretty bored, worn out really. i was waiting for it to move me and it just didn't to the point that i was just about to leave around 6, and then they played a GREAT breaks track. and i can't resist breaks so i stayed. the breaks didn't last near long enough but the set did get better from that point on, until i left at about 7:30. IMO, i don't want to wait 4 hours to hear a set that blows me away (except maybe with DH, but that is different). so i was a little disappointed. i had never heard tyrant at all before and i heard all these great reviews of them and i expected to be blown away. it was to the point that most of the other talent i have seen at arc this year has moved me more. BUT once they did get going their type of style really is for me. as for the people... i met so many people who were so great! i really thought the crowd was fantastic last night. to me it was like half a howells crowd and half cool people i have never seen before, which is always great. and i met a bunch of new arc board ppl which was great. hope to see you next week. come say hi if you see me cause i am blind at finding ppl in the club.
