BEATS ANTIQUE 2 hour set

so we show up at the venue, cat's cradle, and find out that for extra $$, we can play a 2 hour set - now that's great cause when you only get to play an hour a night, you never get to pull out all the tracks...
david and i just opened our macbooks and started smashing tracks - doing improvs, cutting to something totally different, making shit happen on the fly...the whole time we have to pay attention to the crowd and what's gettin them...and keep track of how much time we have left and whether lorin is gonna come out on time or push it...the best part is that the whole time we are playing people our original tracks...i'm stoked...and now to bed...
