Things To Come

posted by q on January 5th, 2007  

I was poking around the torrent world trying to find good public-domain movies to download and came across Things To Come at publicdomaintorrents.com. I was immediately brought back to 1997 when we threw a party of the same name. Of course, the name was at Raj’s suggestion. I vowed to hunt the movie down but I guess the internets weren’t what they are today. Anyway, here’s the flyer for that party:

The next party was called Metropolis. raj, xjn, non, and robi played while we watched the movie.

PS. this is my first time posting. I hope I don’t break the tikirobot.

    Oh wow.. those were both great parties! Didn’t one of those HoL parties get busted?

    You can get the 1.9GB MPEG2 (and smaller versions) of Things To Come at archive.org

    Scarlet Street is a pretty great Film Noir to add to your public domain movie collection. Here are a bunch more feature films.

    I don’t remember playing at Things To Come — I think I had already moved to Boulder by then. I do remember a magical moment at one of those parties though, maybe the year before, when all the kids in the basement were like “WOW! TECHSTEP!”. I mean, not literally, but. Maybe I’m just hallucinating.

    Yeah, I don’t remember Irix playing at that party.. but I have fond memories of him playing at 1803..

    I think I remember XJN showing up at Things To Come with a shortwave radio that he would tune and mix in live during his set.

    I saw a great RAJAR performance at Field Effects 14 and they used a similar technique of mixing live radio transmissions. XJN was always ahead of his time :)

    Yeah, I think it was just non and xjn. I do remember that we had a minimal sound system (my shoddy JVC home receiver) and non kept overloading it and we’d have to reset it. Rolla was awesome sometimes.
