I meant to put this out on Sunday, and then my title would have been more “Last Night blah blah blah” but I’m lazy and swamped with work and blah blah blah, so oh well.

Saturday night played host to Hacks his new friend Toba taking a trip to Tribeca Grand and dancing till the lights came on while one bearded deejay/bass player named Fred Falke rocked the crowd. But wait, I should tell this story properly. See it all started with this:

Toba: “Hey, let’s hang out”
Hacks: “Ok, I’m going to see Fred Falke tonight, wanna go”
Toba: “Who’s that?”
Hacks: “This really good deejay/producer”
Toba: “Ok”

And there we have it! Thus began a night of epic proportions sprouting from those elegant and powerful words. Well, it didn’t quite begin then..

We had to traverse our way to the Tribeca Grand first, spend an (even-for-manhattan) excessive amount on a couple drinks while one solid opener (David P) and one not so solid opener (the other guy) got the crowd warmed up to the night.

Then comes Fred Falke, looking all in the world like he just finished watching a football game in the corner pub, ready to rock out the crowd.

I danced. From start to finish. Until the lights came on and my sweat drenched body was protesting (Seriously kids, I was so sweaty my shirt was dripping water on the floor). He opened with a live bass performance, proceeded to destroy things with a 3 hour, trigger finger controlled Ableton set, and then winded the night down with another live bass performance before the lights finally came on and everyone scurried like rats to GTFO.

It was the best night of dancing I’ve had in a long long time. In fact, I danced so hard, I couldn’t even stop to talk to the cute girl with the red headband next to me. Ah well.

And now, here’s the mega post. Because I doubt half of you even read the above anyway:
