Spent the day puttering around the house. Worked on digitizing more footage, studying for the Apple Trainer Certification tests, converting and prepping footage for the evenings performance.

Headed over to Indigo at 20:00 to find everything in pretty good order. Got set up quickly and headed over to Café Culina for dinner.

Batu opened the evening at Indigo. He was excited to have some new records that had just arrived from a mail-order place in Europe. Michael and I had a bunch new clips of eyes and camera lenses. We worked through them during Batu's set.

Magnus Gudmundsson aka Buckmaster De La Cruz and Stephan Stephensen aka President Bongo, the Gus Gus DJs, took to the stage around 01:30. They had ordered an impressive array of gear for their set. In addition to the normal two turntables, they had four Pioneer CDJ-100’s and two DJM-600 mixers. They spent the next three hours mixing up one of the hottest sets thus far this season at Indigo.

Michael had dug up some interesting footage of b-boys and skaters in haz-mat suits that we worked on for quite a while. Toward the end of the Gus Gus set we loaded up some op-art footage pulled from one of my motion graphic DVDs. In the early morning it seemed particularly interesting and when layered together offered an amazing amount of depth.

The Gus Gus DJs were encouraged to end their set at 04:30, although it seemed like they would have gone on for much longer. Batu came on and played for an hour before everything was shut down.
