Dancing in the darkness,
\nYour deepest desires …
\nDo you know why you’re here?
\nDo you think you have control?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"IMG_3881\"<\/a>What a week. What a month.<\/p>\n

Hard to believe I’m back on the fast track in the Silicon Valley startup scene.\u00c2\u00a0 Shipping!\u00c2\u00a0 Hiring!\u00c2\u00a0 Organizational issues!\u00c2\u00a0 Interpersonal conflicts!\u00c2\u00a0 Planning!\u00c2\u00a0 Strategy!\u00c2\u00a0 A third of my team is in Singapore, and if events had gone as planned I would have been there instead of at The Atrium last night.\u00c2\u00a0 Alas, when I went to check in for my flight, they noticed that my passport expires in September — and Singapore (like many other countries these days) requires documents to be valid for at least six months.\u00c2\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n

Control is an illusion.
\nInfluence, however, is possible.<\/em><\/p>\n

But instead, after stressful times and long hours working down in the Bay Area, it was great to get back to Seattle Thursday night.\u00c2\u00a0 After a relaxing Saturday I was soooooo ready to dance.\u00c2\u00a0 And talk about perfect timing: a six-hour DJ Anomaly set at The Dark Before the Dawn <\/em>at the Atrium!\u00c2\u00a0 Yay!!!!!!<\/p>\n

The west coast psytrance scene seems to be doing pretty well these days.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been working so much that we’ve missed a lot of great shows, but I’ve still managed to see Cortex at Synchronize, Logic Bomb at Pulse, Full Power Friday at Retox.\u00c2\u00a0 The Atrium’s smaller than any of those clubs, but it’s a lot more comfy, with two great chill areas and tasty food and drinks till late.\u00c2\u00a0 DJ Anomaly had a lot of new tracks, and the vibe was great.\u00c2\u00a0 By the time cinnamon rolls magically appeared at 4:30, we were both feeling happy and relaxed.<\/p>\n

I heart psytrance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
