thoughts on Technical issues and Sleeping for 24hours after party

in #party8 years ago

Ugh,

highly hyperactive one night of psytrance party, 600km from home, wore me out almost totally.
Okay, thats normal. Im just getting old.

I hardly ever sleep more than few hours. But this time something was different. On my friends floor, with a huge pillowbag as a mattress i had the best sleep in years!! I slept like a baby, with waking up only one time to eat and second time for toilet break - went back to bed and aaaaaww again, sleep.. sleeping must be my new favorite for a hobby. NOW im full power! im sitting in a train going back home and sun is shining.

Im suprisingly happy about life in general, altough the gig where i was on friday/saturday night, wasn't that perfect technically speaking. I managed to play only half of the planned dj set, and then the problems stated. Had major black out that burned critical fuses from the venue, 20minutes of chaos trying to put everything working again and when power came back, USB sticks i used had taken some weird damage and lost data for the rest of the tracks i was going to play. Sad. Didnt help to whine about it. Im used to improvise. I normally hardly ever even plan anything im going to play anyway. I just have fun on stage and go with the flow so to speak - this time it just was bit different because i had already started playing, and the idea of how the set was going to play out had already formed in my mind. well, dance floor was empty ofc when i finally got to play again - but gladly people got back as soon as they realised music was playing again. By that time tough, i had totally confused what i had in mind for the set and when i was scrolling trough USB libraries and tracks i had already played, problems started to come even more clear. Most of the files were corrupted during the power-out period and only some of them worked. I had no choice than to play what ever might have worked and so i did. played until the end, quite pissed and angry and had a calming smoke.

My friend was also having some issues with his live set after me. power chord for his laptop was mysteriously gone and laptop only having power for 48minutes and going down and minutes passed. He called me out to help and said i needed to cover him after the power runs out. at that point i had got my self a little tipsy from mild alcohol and got a nice chance to play second set, totally improvised.

When the time came, i had the joy to play some killer 190bpm Rangotek remixes at 9.30 in the morning. Had some seriously fun time and no regrets :)

Usually those kind mishaps, that happen troughout the party and specially the time im playing, bother me troughout the week or atleast some days. but now, NONE of that is happening. im just plain happy and full of joy - and i cant figure out any other reason than the fact that i have actually slept past all possible hangovers and bad toughts.

I would like remind everyone to sleep as looong as possible, before and after party, alone or in good company.
(someone to cuddle before falling asleep might be a nice bonus also as long as its not preventing to fall asleep)

sleeping is a bliss <3
