The event went as planned and it was packed. It started a little
slow, so everyone got some food at around 8-9pm, but then at around
11pm, people started to overflow into the street. The Void is
situated somewhere near the west end of Chinatown. I don't really
know if there's an official location name for it, but it's a nice
place at night. The street in front is sleepy and filled with old
style office buildings while the party went on until something like
3am! We occupied the Giant Robot table right outside the door, giving
away free magazines to anyone who wanted one. It's always great to
see some faces light up when they're flipping through the pages for
the first time. And finally attaching some faces to email names along
with the dotcom addresses is always cool. Some are long time
correspondents and some, not. But on one trip, we can go from email
to reality. And that's why we were there.
The artist in reddish photo is Mannequin Tracker or Laris Kreslin who
does Sound Collector magazine. It's a book sized publication that's
filled with music that you should care about. If you showed up, you
could have grabbed a couple of issues free. See what you missed?
The gent who's reaching toward a turntable is Sientific American, yes
there is no 'c' in Sientific just to differentiate him from the
magazine. He's a DJ and electronic music dude who can make some noise
live.
