I had serious technical issues with my latop this night, the worst ever.

After setting-up the gear, the Windows loading screen was freezing on start-up, blue screen of death. Then a serious issue occurred which required re-installing Windows from scratch, although it didn't work so Ii went through the whole long process again, an hour before going on I checked the laptop and it had failed again. I told the organisers it was highly unlikely I could play but with 45 mins till I played I tried re-installing from scratch yet again, felt like an eternity and by my play time it wasn't ready, I had to ask Mor Elian to keep playing while this ran through it's installation. 15 excruciating minutes after, it finalized and i had to restart it and try and play immediately.

I did, it worked, people went nuts! Despite being a bit cautious playing there were no more technical problems. A few days later someone DMd me to say it was one of the best live sets they had ever heard!
