    I’ve seen him at festivals twice. The first time, he played a fantastic set to a TINY crowd in the main building. I feel like nobody knew he was in there. It was intimate and lovely.

    The second time, he played to a big crowd at a stage outside, years later. All of the equipment somehow fucked up. He spent a good 10-20 minutes trying to get stuff working, with limited success. He said “aw well, guess I’ll improvise” and played one of my favorite sets I’ve ever seen. I didn’t expect as much Flashbulb Vocoder Voice as he provided, but I can never have enough vocoder.

    He’s so great.

        The first one I was insanely hung over for and I had regrets.

        The time he as-libbed his whole set I was not hung over and I was ASTOUNDED. He is so insanely talented!

            Oh that’s totally fair hahaha. Hangovers are the worst! We’ve never had an LSD hangover ;3

            For festivals I’m mainly doing MDMA for the main event, and whatever fun stuff comes around for the rest. I had opium at one festival and that was AWESOME… I don’t touch opiates and thought I was handed a weed pipe. Nope! I still loved it, very chill time. I would try it again, if I ever found it—that was like 15 years ago.

              lmao, maybe we were at the same festival. I was at Bonnaroo in 2009 or 2010, watching Primus, and got handed a mystery pipe. Turns out it was opium and it agreed decently with the mushrooms 😅
