Last night I went to the Mid-Atlantic Laptop
Battle at DC9. Quite an experience.
There were a couple of dj's that really rocked, but quite frankly, I was a
little disappointed at the caliber of people that were there. Some of the
dj's flat out sucked. And, at a few points I was left wondering what the
judges were thinking. I guess it's hard for me to be objective about
electronica when there are some genres I really don't care for. For $6
though, I'm certainly not complaining.
Never having been to a laptop battle before, I wasn't sure quite what
to expect. They are apparantly much bigger on the west coast, which is a
shame, since we have plenty of amateur dj talent here on the east coast
too. Hopefully they'll have more of these around here in the future. I
had a good time, but I left wishing I had bought that "more
cowbell" t-shirt I saw a few weeks ago. It would have been the
perfect shirt to wear. (Note: When I first saw this t-shirt some of my
friends didn't get the reference. If you are clueless, click here to
