I remember Laurent performed at a party here in the wrong
neighborhood where some shadiness went down. A small crew of 'agents
of darkness' strolled in with their concealed weapons. Some gunfire
took place and maybe someone actually got shot. Fuzzy memories
where
I think someone was wounded, but nothing serious.
I also remember Sonar 1999 when Rich, Jeff Mills, and Laurnet
Garnier
were all riding bumper cars together--with much
'bloodthirstiness'. That was definitely surreal.
