Halfway to Forecastle?

Due to the improbable timing of obtaining mononucleosis; i.e the kissing disease, I was unable to attend Halfway to Forecastle in Louisville. Thankfully that did not hold my friends back from going to what many have said was, " The best electronica themed festival any could have held in Kentucky.". The festival was held in the Butchertown portion of Louisville, where fifty years ago almost every building was either a meat shop or a processing and butcher plant. Not surprisingly, the show was held in a renovated warehouse that used to hold up to 200,000 pounds of dead cow.
Upon entrance, my friends were hit in the face with not one pulsating beat, but three that came from different rooms located throughout the building. At one time there were three DJs hitting the table, and if one didnt appeal to your sense, you would simply walk into the next room and see what they had to offer. The general consesus was that the best beats and vibes didnt come from the main room, but a smaller room to the side where everyone was crammed in to listen to local Djs all night.
