Rundown of Hard Mansion Halloween. Forgive the grammar and spelling por favor!


Started out shitty for me as I got off work late and prepared for LA's Hard Mansion. After getting through 40 min of traffic on the 101 and paid for the 20 dollar parking at USC, I made my way to the will call line where fellow revelers where ready to partake in this electro fest. As I made my through Wonder women, the joker, and a guy dressed as penis, I meet up with some friends and got to an early start to see 2 Many DJ's. The set was similar to a Radio 1 set I heard but otherwise got the crowd ready for the night. Sidenote: I worked that same day at 4am and the last time I ate that day was 9am so when I got there, I was so fucking hungry, so I stepped out of 2MDJ set to get some Chinese food @ 8 bucks a plate and sat at a near by table while watching and listening to the set. After a few bites of Chow Mein, this came on:


???????

Later on that night, I get texted from Pooter that he was in Will Call, so I texted him back and said I was in the SMD stage on the railing. They had their music equpiment on a rounded table, one of them looked like an oversized PC case with all of these wires and plugs coming on the side of it. And then both james's came out.. That's when I lost count crapping in my pants as they totally exceeded my expectations. They had the best crowd and EVERYBODY was fucking jumping.

Then right after that was Soulwax. All the guys dressed in white suites with matching masks as they started out with POTWND. This is the first time i've seen these guys and they put on a mezmerizing live set.

(The part that you don't see on that video was on 2:55 which was a highlight was when Stephen Dewaele pushed his solo timbale drums off the stage (crowd cheering!)


This ones for you Pooter! Robot Rock into Phantom Part II!

Didn't see Dj AM but heard that his set was pretty good and pulled the ultimate trick or treat and accomplished something that normal costumes couldn't do, and that's make 10,000 people think Daft Punk was playing! HaHa! He even had a almost legit Thomas costume and mask! You can call it what you want, but on Halloween, you can be anybody!

Great Vizs! One was shot on the wall of the Shrine, about the size of a Drive in Theater!

Deadmau5 choked an Imposter!

Justice had 2 outages! But was a OK set!

Left around 4am!

I was a Chemical Clown Priest!

I'm the one in the front holding up a cross in the Youtube videos!


I'm going to back to bed!

Great review Inchemwetrust!


I'm happy to hear the stars of the party (SMD and Soulwax) lived up to expectations. I heard about the Daft Punk hoax, and agree that it was quite funny :P .


As for Mr Pooter, I talked with you yesterday and heard the whole story. Just plain fuckin sucks. I cant believe they couldn't compromise a way to get you in. We live, We learn.


Soulwax's drummer is a fucking legend, I could watch that maniac all night.

This old man,
he play beats,
He don't need no music sheets,
but with a snip-snip-snippy-snip
gave his mop a chop,
Old man hairstyles are a flop.
