I am... deaf???

I caught the Dim Mak end of the silent disco at Detour because I was at the Mars Volta stage and missed Paul V's set. He said it was "Surreal - In a Marlee Matlin on "Dancing With The Stars" kind of way..."

I initially inteded to head over to the Bloody Beatroots stage and meet up with my EDC-minded friends, but the sight of people dancing to nothing, or so it seemed, intrigued me very much so. After waiting in line for what seemed eternity, I found myself dancing silly with strangers on the middle of the street with The Ting Tings shutting up and YELLE blaming the garcone.

As for the sound leak, there were none whatsoever; unless people singing out loud to "Build Me Up Butter Cup" counts. Yes the Dim Mak DJ played a ton of oldies and was I sad to have missed Paul V's dirty-electro a la 1031? YES! But being able to do a conga train with a bunch of eager-dancing strangers in the middle of the street was priceless.

It was cute. It was hilarious. It was amazing.
