Sphongle was AMAZING! His set was beautiful, the visuals were outstanding, and the Sphongletron has never looked better! The music was great, and the crowd was really feeling the vibe. I love Shpongle's range -- I heard carnival music, flamenco, psytrance, and more all in one set. As far as the performance is concerned, Sphongle knocked it out of the park.
That being said, House of Blues needs to make some major adjustments to their security. It wasn't until my group had parked our car blocks away, walked to the venue up three flights of stairs and up to the front doors that we learned many of the items we had on us weren't permitted inside the venue. Our options at that point were to leave them on a table (and we were told the staff were not responsible for the stuff left on there) or walk allllll the way back to our car to lock it up. I get that some things (light up clothing, kandi bracelets) weren't permitted due to their ties with the drug culture (outlawing them is pointless and asinine, IMHO), but a fanny pack and lipstick? Really? If you're going to be so petty and outlaw items that shouldn't be prohibited, then put a notice on the website or on the event page!
