* Our public launch. We'd done a few private sessions with friends, and finally asked C's bar if we could go ahead and share our music with the thirsty public. C's bar was absolutely packed on this normally quiet Thursday night, and we played a mad eclectic mix of music. We'd expected just a small group of extended friends, but with just a few posts on the internet, tons of people from all walks of life showed up to prove Shanghai really needed this kind of music and social event.

* The party really was a public extension of informal music-sharing sessions in Ozone's living room, where local musicians in Shanghai would meet and share "what we're listening to this week," and even "what we're producing this week."
