THANK YOU'S & PHOTOS!

My darling sasspots. What an epic night and testament to moon-level radness.


First of all thank you to everyone who came and concocted all the pure vibe-a-thon that made the night what it was. Happy (and not at all surprised) to report that there were no security incidents and no damage to the building or amenities whatsoever.

Well... Except that every hold in the entire place had to be tightened because the bass loosened them all. Heh heh heh. 

A huge huge thank you to Andrew Coffey and the whole staff at the Hive Climbing Gym.  They worked their ASSES off, right up until the last little beer can was removed. Huge respect. In ebbing times like these for the underground venues we are so so reliant upon community-minded thinkers who can find it in themselves to TRUST. I hope it inspires more people to come forward; and helps us to see all the little sparkly little loopholes peaking out everywhere in our city. Thank you.

Thank you to Darby, Doug & Dana and Application in general for runnin' it. Pretty sure we're ruined. We only now want to perform on stages made up entirely of speakers. ;)

Thank you to Mike Awesome who conceived, designed & built the spaceship booth and as always, lives up to his name.

Thank you to the Mousai Grrls who are just touching the base of all the stages they will be gracing with their lovely sass spirits. Respect & huge love for all the work that gets put into what you do, and for finding it in yourself to collab and cooperate with each other so intimately and intensely. That's the key right thurrrrr. Ups from us over here at Sweet Soul. 

Thank you to Jenn, Andrew (Eradik), Max, Michael, Andrea, Josh (Kir Mokum) for bringing in all the most heavy hitting, ass-kicking music from the future. Uh, SO AWESOME.
