Don’t have too much more to contribute to BP Day One chat that hasn’t yet been brought up, other than Zwickel’s Fear & Loathing get-up, though I’m surprised the intro to the Blue Scholars’ set has gone unmentioned.

Like most of the sets, local councilperson Dow Constantine took the stage for introduction duties. This man came out with jugs of candy, however, and began throwing gum-sized treats at the crowd. Thankfully, he didn’t follow up this patronizing bullshit by jumping into the crowd, grabbing everyone’s cheeks and squealing, “Who’s a cute li’l voter? Yes you are! Yes you are.”

Call that an overreaction, but Scholars’ DJ Sabzi appeared to take offense on some level as well when he and Geologic were introduced as this councilman’s “constituents.” “We do not ally ourselves with any political party in particular, just to get that out of the way,” Sabzi began, before flicking on his tables and beats and getting the tremendously moving show started. Not sure if the underage, Roca Wear-covered, beer drinking twinkies to my left appreciated the revolutionary slant of “50,000 Deep” and the like, but still, I was impressed to see so many people wave their hands in the air—even when unprovoked. Shout-out to the fogeys on the nearby rooftop who tried, hard as they might, to raise that very roof.
