Dan Bell

Saturday night was Dan Bell's 5 hour set.


At inciting hq.

originator of minimal techno

the composition of social relations
the steps outside were covered in groups of people
the dance floor - about 17 sq feet - a small space 
with two adjacent smaller rooms for relaxing
people always talk over the music
sometimes the sounds were so clean you can washed away in them
sometimes you know lots of people in the room and everyone is loving the music
it's great to look around and have that feeling 
sometimes you don't want to talk you just want to listen and dance
or just listen
everyone faces the dj
a few candy like smiley faced ravers dance bigger and act out more they are super fun to smile at / with
it was blue lighting
with a blue laser up on a wall to the right of the dance floor making a line across it

i signed katelyn's get better book. she walked for the first time since the accident that day

i had people sign my sketchbook as i am soon to retire from parties

or do something different with parties

i left for a couple hours to rest and then came back around 7 am

i collected water bottles. the place was messy. two guys anthony and michael started helping me.  i felt a little paranoid by this point in time. i was uncomfortable but determined to do my work.  i collected the water bottles for my project and they collected the bottles for recycling. justin was surprised the place got cleaned up so quick

i talked to dan bell. i asked him do you think techno is post-apocalyptic? he answered sometimes. i asked him about the possibility of the dome in detroit. it seemed like a possibility. he asked me why we built a dome inside inciting. i answered to create an environment for the party.
