Some pictures from the night (unedited, taken by Uz and I on his camera):



(The DJs played good track after track, occasionally getting up for a beer or to groove.)



(Shiz had a long day, and would occasionally rest her eyes to relax and soak in the music.)



(The music volume didn't overpower meetings and conversations.)



(One Finnish guy came to introduce himself, and we found out that he went to the same university as Shizu about 10 years ago.)



(The dance floor was empty for the first two hours, but the excitement escalated when more people arrived and started dancing.)



(Everybody took to the atmosphere and music differently.)





(This DJ would sometimes drop what he was doing, stand up and dance.)



(I used an iPod touch app to identify the songs we liked.)
