Best new vein of music I discovered: Haus Dirty, dark haus.
Biggest Push Forward: Car Accident in July
Favorite memory:
I remember a lot of good moments from 2005. Two of the best involving EDM are both with my PIC, Keith. In Denver, we went to go see a local DJ spin at an afterhours club - I danced my ass off all night long, no substance of any kind needed till 6am. I just was so happy at that moment in time - it was ridiculous. If I could bottle how I felt at that moment - connected to music and life, gah, happiness eternal I think. The entire summer of 2005 was amazing - travelling, shows, friends - definitely a golden summer.
Disappointing Shows: 1.) Deep Dish in May @ the Guv - I left like 1.5 hours into their set but I was not impressed - made up for it at LoL 2005 though, 2.) Icey @ Bleu, Feb 2005 - didn't impress me like usual
Best Road Trip: Howells in April @ System - that was a ruckus!
Top parties for me:
PVD at Roxy 
Armin at Crobar
Labour of Love at Guv complex
Carl Cox at Crobar
Also Bal en Blanc/Tiesto @ Docks because they were my first TA events and I got to meet the totas, and Danny Howell's at Spirit because I was welcomed into the NYTA family that night....
good times alll year, I can't complain!
Worst event: it pains me to say, but Tiesto at Crobar....SOO hot, crowded, full of Guido's...AWFUL night!!! I couldn't even dance, and could barely breathe!!
Best non-club event: Secret Santa dinner with a huge group of NYTA's...I wish I coulda went to Nada's party tho, it sounded wikked!!!
