| #3 / Thu, 26 Jul 12 20:28 Thanks Todd. Should have guessed it had something to do with Carl Craig ;-)
Decibel sounds like a great festival, have to add to my growing list of festivals to go to.

| #6 / Fri, 27 Jul 12 07:54 was okay last year, hate the heat of an overbooked venue, I-CUBE show was too fucking packed. Also some of the lineups of the showcases were questionable. It would be nice to have some mellow stuff and upper stufff mixed together. For instance, the Amon Tobin show, jesus all the openers were super maximal electronic, by the time the Amon started I was already wanting to go and chill,, would have been a dope show if it started with some ambient into mid-tempo into Amon. Also the Optical showscases were cool, but sitting for three hours (in not so comfortable seats) to ambient/experimental is just not the ideal venue. See: Tonalism at Henry Miller Library in Big Sur 2009 for inspiration.
That said, the line this year looks fucking dope!

| #12 / Sat, 28 Jul 12 12:35 This was great! I love your approach to the idea of a festival. It's lile you are a dj on a huge scale, instead of picking records you are picking whole events to compile a journey for the week
Really love what you guys are doing for the music scene in Seattle. I have lived here my whole life and it is cool to see you guys opening the eyes of alot of people who just hear funky/disco house.
Hope to meet ya in person some day :-)
Nick
