Paul van Dyk in New York

Last weekend(March 4th) I went to New York for a Paul van Dyk party. The whole thing was a little nuts: I arrived in New York at 8PM saturday, partied, chilled with friends, and was back in SF late Sunday night. Sleep wasn't on the agenda.

The party was pretty good, though I think I'm starting to grow out of Trance. Paul van Dyk played a really good set(he was on for 6 hours), but I wasn't really feeling it. By the end the set, I actually wanted to leave, and that doesn't happen very often.

Nevertheless, I thought the trip was a success. I got to see friends whom I haven't seen in a while(they made the trip from Toronto), so overall I'm very happy.

The wonders of photography...

Finally, two months after buying a Canon Powershot S60 I got to read it's instruction manual today. My knowledge of digital photography has been really minimal, so reading that instruction manual really opened my eyes to the wonders of photography. I was amazed at how many camera options one can configure in order improve the quality of the pictures. After reading the manual, I turned to Google to find more resources and tutorials on digital photography, and quickly found an excellent website http://www.dcviews.com that has an incredible collection of tutorials on all kinds of topics related to digital photography. Obviously I cannot become a great photographer right away, but I hope that after reading all that information today, my future pictures are going to be at least slightly better than the ones I've been taking up until now.

Ferry Corsten at Mezzanine, San Francisco

This past friday(Oct 15, 2004) I went to what it considered to be San Francisco's premier underground nightclub called Mezzanine. DJ Ferry Corsten was spinning, so it was a good occasion to check out that venue for the first time. Up to that point I was somewhat dissapointed in San Fran's nightclub scene - the clubs are not nearly as good as in Toronto, and the sound quality usually leaves a lot to be desired. Well, Mezzanine proved to be a different beast. I really really really liked it. The sound was good, and the vibe was awesome. It was evident that people came there to party, and party they did ! Ferry Corsten was also on fire, and it seemed like he was really enjoying himself. One thing that I found strange was that most people in the club were sober. Lets be frank here - the crowd in Toronto is usually 80% high. In San Fran it's the other way around - pretty much everyone was either sober or drunk. Nice !
