the first day for day for night was strange, at least in comparison to the other two previous years since it's inception. it felt overly ambitious, especially during the lead up to the event. lots of advertising, and yet, i feel they fell short of their goals in attendance and what not

of montreal was good but while watching them, my vision started blurring. i felt strange and as the lights left trails in me eyes, everything started slowly going black. like dark out of focus circles slowly creeping in from around the edges. i thought i was gonna pass out, so i told my friend i had to go off to the side. i sat down for a bit and slowly began to feel better. the only thing it could've been was that i smoked during the set, a little before that incident. if that's the case then i have no tolerance for that anymore (which can be a good thing) but if its not, then my body was failing me and that sets a more scary precedent for further endeavors

princess nokia was flexing a nikexsupreme pink tracksuit which made for an amusing set

cant forget lil b's set in which he spread love and positivity. he spent a good 20 minutes just humping the air, but with like, little to no rhythm. thank you based god

cardi b had me waiting and missing the beginning of james blake's set. she also said she was cold in houston's 54 degree weather. not a good image for her, i expected more tolerance being from new york and all. she did say "a hoe gets cold now" so i guess its understandable

james blake's set had me crying in the club for a bit. nine inch nails was wild, but i moved inside before the rain. caught some of tyler's but there was a full storm outside at that point so i had to give up or be totally drenched. the storm did die just after his set so i feel them moving it up only made it worse for the attendees. the blackie and bjarkie sets were also good, probably the best of the yellow stage. venetian snares' set also fit the aesthetic of the venue. this was a hectic time which had me running from set to set to see a part of everyone

jamie xx brought that silent-club vibe. couldn't stay for the whole thing, and if i'm being honest, i only would've stayed til he played "loud places" but i had to get going. i realized i was gonna have to walk home, and i didn't want to do that too late

around the end of the day, i felt this weird feeling, where i realized that this was nowhere near as fun as i thought it would be. like it wasn't boring, but i just didn't have as much fun as i had the previous two times. maybe it's cause everyone was doing their own thing and we weren't really together, but idk. was thinking that none of the sets were a "must see" and that made me sad. hopefully today is better. thought, i can't fathom paying for the two days next year maybe i'll just do one i think i might be outgrowing live music (yikes!)
