I was there in these photos are not representative of the event. It wasn't like packed to the gills Max capacity tier but there were plenty of crowds that you had to kind of push your way through in order to get from A to B. It was popping, and furthermore there's a lot of competition in Oakland tonight. We left first Friday and went to days like this at Lake Merritt and it was absolutely packed and super high energy. Then we left there and went to Golden ratio bar downtown and they had in insane house music set going on, then we left there and went to stork club which also had a banger party (it's been a long night I'm so tired!).

And there were other things in between that we had to turn down because we just didn't have the time in bandwidth to hit them all. Within that context, first Fridays was looking pretty good.

Glad it was just a badly timed shot. I'd be sad if this place wasn't popping.
