on the bus on the way home, was fiddling with my digi cam, dead tired too, so "ooh I can change the file format it uses"... nope, that was to format the memory(ie, erase everything in one fell swoop)... I was crushed. but an hour browsing the web just now, and I found a program(PC Inspector Smart Recovery) that got them back for me. Most of them anyways. And several fo the salvaged files were damaged. But I got most back in a useable quality.

There they are, enjoy! Not all from the party, and the order they were originally in was completely lost(that tends to happen in batch recovery of deleted files) but they are there nonetheless.
The man that completely kicked my ass with his set.
