it seems that francois was overall considered more of an opener for may than a headliner in his own right-- what a shame. the sound didn't really get cranked until after he was done. i didn't mind TOO much, seeing how i was humping a speaker in the back anyway, but he played a nice set of driving techno (contrary to my expectations) that really would have deserved to be turned up a couple of notches. either way though, i couldn't have been happier with the stuff he played, i only regret not being able to dance more b/c i was MELTING. looked like a fun party though (i only stopped by for a minute), and it definitely gets a thumbs up for outraving those of us upstairs.
