Here's my mini review.
--------------------------
I got to Avalon around 1am and one of the bouncers tried to dick telling me my HARD TICKET was no longer valid as it was AHP already. I was like BULLSHIT. He wanted $125 to let me in. I told him to fuck off and that i wanted to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor was walking by, overheard the convo, and told him to fuck off too. He let me in. BASTARD Bouncer trying to dick me over.
Once inside, I have to agree with Kellie. It seemed like just any other saturday night. I honestly didnt care for Sander's set much. Most of the time I spent it socializing all over the place. It was so good to see many of you there. You know who you are!!!
I left around 6am, and went to a loft party in downtown LA where I met up with a few TA's. I got asked to spin, but I didn't have my CDs with me. 
Oh well, next time.
Pretty awesome night other than the fact that I had to wait almost 2 hours to get inside which was fucking bullshit. It was nice to meet Clovis finally and seeing Bas, Julia and Simon again. Sanders set was pretty damn sick, though not the best Ive seen from him. I am diggin the dvdj sets from him though, its a ton better than when I saw him a year ago.
Some songs I can remember: Artificial Funk - Never Alone, Speedcats - Speedcats, Eurythmics - Ive got a life (Sander Mix), plus a bunch of songs from his cd, and a few more that I cant remember.
I think I prefer seeing Sander in a smaller venue for a smaller crowd but hes still better than most djs any day.
Well I arrived for afterhour power with Sander, only to have crap for crap dj's spinning for the majority ... BUT ... I was really happy to chat it up with a few TA's that I normally don't get to see too much ... seriously Tigo #1 good talk good talk ... funny, Rich, Tigo and I were sitting up in the cracked out section for a long while thinking, "actually we are amongst the more sober here ..."
Well if you look at it as a normal avalon night, it was a SICK night. Kazell played a great opening set. Sander threw down crazy status...for the first 2 hours after midnight he brought it hard dirty and dark. His mixing was spot on the whole time.
I got to talk to Digweed on the right of the stage that was cool. Unfortunatley they wouldn't let him play.
Sander played a few tracks I recognized and a few from his Everybody On Tour CD, but I would say 75% of his set was absolutely massive tracks that I had no clue wtf they were. He started to let up around 3:30-4 but still layed down sick tracks.
Stuff I recognized:
Royksopp - What Else Is There (Trentemoller Remix)
Speedcats - Speedcats (Roel H Remix) w/ Green Velvet - Flash (Accapella)
Artificial Funk - Never Alone (Trophy Twins & Funkagenda's FATT Remix) (I just bought this track on beatport)
Jon Gurd - Lemon Sherbert
Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (Pearn & Bridges Dub)
Mylo - Muscle Car (SanderK Remix)
MV - Mr. Robato (Some Remix?)
I was expecting Avalon to be decked out with some great production work, but instead it was plain old avalon...really fucking lame. It didnt make the New Year seem special at all. So boo Avalon for half assing what could have been a great party once again.
It was nice to meet some TA's I havnt yet, lex400sc, Protege, serch54 for like 5 seconds 
and I think I'm forgetting some...
Oh and for the 68976238974589763928475th time:
FUCK AFTERHOUR POWER
CANT WE HAVE ONE FUCKING NIGHT OUT OF THE WHOLE FUCKING YEAR WHERE AFTER HOUR POWER DOES NOT RUIN A GREAT NIGHT WITH THE FUCKING WORST FUCKING DJ's AND MUSIC IN THE WORLD.
If I wanted to hear absolute SHIT trance horribly mixed and presented by an asshole who thinks he is the center of the universe, I would go see George Acosta. But I dont go see George Acosta. I go to Avalon to see world class talent....which is subsequently always cut short by these fucking idiots.
They give electronic music a bad name. Its not even good trance its shitty generic 145+ hard trance that probably took 5 seconds to produce in Acid.
So once again FUCK AFTERHOUR POWER and I hope someone at Avalon reads the above and gets a fucking clue.

New Years
Hey guys, well I must admit...........TJ didn't do to well, infact I was alittle embarrassed about it cause it made ME look bad!!! It was VERY difficult to dance to some of the train wrecks that happened, and it wasn't a seldom occasion, it kept happening, and I can't go up on a podium and not dance, I have to DANCE!!! So I was dissappointed, but he did manage to pick it up a little bit and atleast I got to dance to freefall, my favorite track and I, being a dancer, KNOW THE LYRICS............in which alot don't.
Anyway, after my second set, I got done, threw on my clothes and went out on the dance floor and jumped around a bit. I then went up to spider room and mingled, too fucking packed!!! I left about 8:30, didn't want to though.
AHP definitely needs to step it up a bit as far as DJ's, but Club Crashers and AHP are actually different promoters, from what I've been told. Can't bag on it too much cause' that's my job and I have passion for the vibe and crowd. What they need to do is get rid of regular hours dancers so I can take over!!!!
Whos' coming to Marco V on the 20th?????
Re: New Years
oh snap, digweed was there?! i'm seeing him next weekend! 
desiree i'll say it again... i don't know how you were able to dance to that clusterfuck set, but you looked damn good doin it. that freefall dance was awesome 
we left soon after marcel woods' advanced, which sounds nuts in avalon 
Thanks for that, yeah I can't really say much as he's (TJ) is the one that is booking me...............so though it sucked, I still had to do my job to try and entertain you party animals. Somebody needs to take it to the next level, loved my first outfit but the fucking wig wouldn't stay on!
Thanks for rocking it as always Desiree ... you were the best thing on stage, that's for sure ^_^
got to avalon decently early and watched the dramatic price increases in both parking and admittance
it was a great night overall....
too bad there was no hoorah of confetti or anything =T
that washing machine song was trippy.. haha i couldnt believe they had the visuals for that song... i fell in love when i heard Pet Shop Boys...
nice being with close friends and seeing some of ya TA'rs!
yes AHP was a headache!! tried to go up to the patio but i wasnt even feeling it then either...
SANDER definitely did way better this time around then when i saw him at Crobar in NYC in October
btw... did anyone check out the WANGER on Gumby?? haha

Got there around 12am just in time for the countown. Wasnt impressed with the setup. Sander was just relentless with his tracks, he didn't let up the whole night. Best set I've heard in a few months. If he had kept playing I would have stayed a lot longer, there is no bigger buzzkill than Steve Castro or dtj, whatever the fuck their names are... AHP makes Avalon look really bad. All those crackhores should take their event to another venue.
Thanks for the set Clovis. Dling now. 
i wanna hear the washing machine song! 
For those that went the distance, did they have a breakfast thing setup or no?

there was croissants, bagels, some fruit and juice down where the party favors were at the begining of the night.. I saw the remnants of it when I cruised by around 6.
I have to say that I was digging the patio around that time also. seeing it lit up with daylight and still being full was just plain cool. What happened to the sasha webcast? I didn;t see that anywhere
Hey guys! Glad to see that all of you had a blast - I thought I'd drop by and share this with you all:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...&postid=5499537
Enjoy 
Hey Julia! 
I'm a bit late here in posting, but I'm just now recovering properly from the long weekend.
I had a GREAT time at Sander! Especially because you and Jesse and so many other friends were there. I'm glad we had a chance to hang out a little bit again.
Sander had a 4/5 night imo, but certainly acceptable for a NYE event I thought. Avalon could have spruced the place up more a bit, but eh, after almost missing this party altogether because of my GIANT obligations, I was just plain glad to be anywhere decent on NYE as it was!
You are still the sweetest, most fun and real person that I truly enjoy being around whenever I'm out 
And thanks for keeping my girl company until I was able to get in...she really appreciated hanging with you too.
Keep in touch kiddo...
Wow, thanks for the nice words Don! That really cheered me up and put a smile on my face this morning! Talk to ya soon! 
Seriously jules, I agree with DB's post. Don't let any of these crackheads make you think otherwise.
