Title: roll call - Fatboy Slim, Fri. 3/23
Post by: Christine Moritz on March 23, 2012, 08:15:28 am: I will most definitely be there tonight, as I'll be DJing before and between the acts (and probably after).

Doors were originally slated to open at 10 p.m., but this changed a few days ago to 9 p.m. So I encourage all who are attending to arrive promptly at 9 p.m. :)

Tickets are $45 and are available online (http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/95393) or at the box office (http://www.930.com/tickets/).

I see they now have an opening act, what's the group like?

I'm not familiar with them, but I googled them, and apparently they're an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old who went to Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, and have opened in D.C. for Pauly D (of "Jersey Shore").

...Fatboy Slim was... very very disappointing. He didn't play any of his own stuff, he just DJ'd and played a mixture of dance pop and "classic" hits. It sounded like Girl Talk. It definitely didn't feel like a "live" show, and his mixing wasn't that great either. And he had no real production whatsoever. Very underwhelming for a ticket that cost nearly $50.

Went on at midnight and my friends and I left at 1am along with alot of other people who seemed disappointed.

I've seen him twice. .one time in Buenos Aires and once at the 930 and neither time did I think much of it...

I'm no authority on DJs..

My favorite was Paul Oakenfold in 2001 or 2002 at Creamfields in Buenos Aires.. It was nuts...

I tend to go for the trance...
