scratchapella Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 agreed. . . party last night was the hotness. . .i didn't expect so many people to be out on a wed. in dc! when did you all leave last night? i was looking for you three downstairs on the dancefloor. . .hold up, for jen, this is the Adam Freeland quote/bit of info. that made me want to go last night: "Before I let the National Lottery say hello to my life, I didn't know my arse from Thursday. But then Thunderball came, and something just clicked." (speaking about some gambling conversion to music production) most of the live acts i've seen are house or techno. . .but last night was very refreshing/interesting. . .i really wish adam freeland's new band, free*land, would tour the US.
