Some random guy licked my face. Yeah. Some random guy licked my face.

PS14 with no power, trying to run two sound systems off a generator.

Either Peaches jumping up and down on Jake's bed with DJ Lloydski and Spank Rock while JD remixed the DJ Contra set with a vocoder, or jumping on top of the speakers at the Raleigh rooftop rave during Justice's set with Peaches.
—Roxy Cottontail, promoter/party diva (New York, NY)
Standing five feet away from some guy who pulled a gun out in the middle of Collins Ave at 3pm and almost getting hit by the stray bullet that blew the tire of the car next to me. All while [intoxicated].
—Bill Patrick, Robots (New York, NY)
A tie: Biz Markie learning Traktor Scratch from Mo (Droid Behavior/NI) and Jazzy Jeff at the Native Instruments room at Remix Hotel. Also, yoga class at Miambient with Sascha from Flavorpill DJing and luminaries like Steve Nalepa and Princess Superstar in poses!
