sucks...welcome to NYC though...
I remember back in 97 (i think...this was years ago)...spiral tribe came to the states to do some touring...and unfortunately had a good portion if not all of the gear they traveled with at the time stolen...and what really sucked is that it happened at the infamous Rave Rock , outlaw site in NYC....sacred land to us old schoolers....apparently by this crew of thugs who were eventually taken out by the feds for gang related crimes...
a lot of us (dj's, promoters, etc) were disgusted and embarrassed....
this although on a much smaller scale sucks and hopefully he has a back up hard drive which I'd imagine he does...guess its a lesson for us to remember....back yo shite up.
