You know what's worse than hearing everyone say that this was the best party ever?????????

Not going. I told my self that I would NOT read this review, but I couldn't resist. Now I'm sorry for reading it

Am I ever kicking my ass for not going. Does anyone have a full track list? (so I can get even more mad) lol

After reading the tracks (the few listed) NOTHING - Holden!!!!!

I'm glad everyone had an amazing time, and hears hoping that AVB will do this again. Man, am I ever pissed off that I didn't go.

i had an amazing time on that boat, i was tired as hell from oakie the night before, but i had a blast anyways. armin was the perfect dj for that party easily. my fav tune was satellite (markus schulz coldharbour remix), met a few ta's on the boat, who happened to be very pretty girls, definetly fun!


good times!!.

I dont think he played Satellite... I remember he did play Beautifal Things (Markus mix)

it was played...I specifically remember singing along with half the other people on the dancefloor

Armin was soooooooo friendly, taking the time to say hi, pose for pics, sign autographs, etc. Great set, perfect atmosphere...the pics show it all...to have him in that small, intimate venue...that was incredible. I can't imagine a better way to have spent the holiday afternooon

It was played but by Mark in the closing set.

Ok, time for my review...
Got to Pier 6 and was a little bitter that a table was set up selling tix for $65, when most of us had paid $65 to get on. Then was told no camcorders by boat staff. Got out of line, while I tried to find an alternative to walking back to the car with my post-Danny Tenaglia destroyed feet. Jamil (from Guv) said he'd make the boat wait for me if I took it back. Graham didn't want to take it back for me, so we just made a break for the boat and got on. Listened to the sounds of Mark Oliver until the boat takes off at 1:05pm. When Jamil saw me on the boat, told me the cruise left 20 mins late SOLELY cuz he was making them wait for me to come back. WHOOPS!!! So, as instructed, I'm apologizing to you all for making the boat late (and thanks Jamil for caring enuf not to leave me behind).

Armin starts off with some crazy mix of Nothing, and dropped a superb set from then on. Killer remix of Beautiful Things (must find out which!), Naranja, Blue Fear and lotsa trance goodies. Ended a lot sooner than most of us expected, and then MO finished it off.

1/2 way thru the cruise, when it got cold, went into my purse to find my light jacket and Danny Tenaglia shirt from the Boa event.... and neither were there. Finally figured out the last 1 to handle them was the crew woman who searched my bag. Found her & asked where my clothes were, and she said she left them on the dock, since they didn't think I was on the boat. This totally put me on a downer for a bit, but I knew I had to pull myself out of it & hoped for the best. When the boat was pulling up to dock, low and behold what was still sitting on the dock, 3.5 hrs after we left, with thousands of people passing thru Harbourfront? My shirt & jacket!!! This proved to me again that Toronto still is the most honest city on earth.

Nice to meet Digital MP, Jennypie (again), xGIRLx & Moschino. Funniest scene on the boat: Fuad pissing off the edge on the top deck. Awesome bunch of people on the boat.

Between this party, Danny T and Nu-NRG, this has been the best weekend Toronto ever had!

he was one stumbling drunk muhfucka by the time that boat came back in

The boat cruise was a hella good. Armin played an ACE set! Why? Because he played "Communication". One of the few tracks that really got me into trance several years ago, and now I was hearing it on a cruise. Nice! Every other track was also great to make for a kickass cruise.. lots of familiar tracks like White Room, Blue Fear, etc.

I totally digged the environment on the boat. That was a very intimate party; you could stand directly infront of the DJ booth, with only a small crowd of pure Armin fans surrounding you! Felt like an private party.. and the boat was hardly packed at all.

Props to Carney, Danielle, Steve & Andrea for givin me a place to crash after GG. Thanks guys! Big hello to all TAs i met & esp ArturoB (OMFG good to finnaly meet ya!)

Hahaha....yes i was drunk as fuck!!! No drinking on an empty stomach from now on...oh btw..one of the best parties ive been to in a while!!
Awesome ppl..new ones and the usual suspects..its always a proper party with u guys!!

Holy Crap!

I felt like I was in somebody's basement rec room. I can't get over how small and intimate everything was.

I agree with Mark T and everyone else who said it was the best party experience ever.

The problem is, I'm totally spoiled now. Another Ferry Corsten/Tiesto overcrowding experience at the Guv may just make me stop going out now that I know how incredible it is too do the small (err... really small) club thing)

Chris

After finding this mp3 outta nowhere, im 99.9% sure he played the ELEVATION REMIX of Andain - Beautiful things.

Review

Hey Guys,

Had an excellent time on the boat cruise. It's a little hard to dance at times when the boat caught a rough wave, haha, especially when you don't know how to swim. Also, after 10 hrs out Guv the night before left you me a little whoozy.

The people were amazing, knew it was going to be a great vibe, very nice people all around. The music was insanely SiC, everytime I've seen Armin I have been impressed. I was expecting some crazy trance, but it was like deep and dirty beats you might hear at the zone with Addy. Also, He's a lot taller than I thought he was though. He was soo friendly! Actually had perma smile the whole day.

I actually forgot my camera, and was wondering if anyone would send me some pics, I have a bunch of pics of Armin, but I was kinda hoping I could get pics of all you. You know it's everyone that made the good vibe too. There a many of you that I met that were awesome, as well, haha, there were some funny incidents that if I were to just see the person's face it would definitely take me back. Actually, not sure who but someone took a pic of my friend & I, and would luv to get a hold of it

Thanks,
MiKeyC

nope , I don't think it was that remix unless he was mixing another tune with it.....because I listened to that markus schulz remix and it wasn't it....the version armin played was darker and more of a waaaa waaaa to it....and the build was pretty intense
maybe I'll try that Elevation mix
haven't heard that one yet

LMFAO! Someone got on the wrong boat...

Oh it was so amazing... now all I keep thinking is when's the next one? I don't think never wanna be in a huge dark, sweaty club again..

Armin rocked my world

Why did i have to get strep throat of all times in my life, for global gathering and the boat cruise!
sigh.... ya ther better be another party like this next canada day!

the boat was amazing.
my sea legs weren't exactely what i remembered them to be, and i prolly did a bit of stumbling around. All in all, i had a great time. met more TAs. seems like every person i meet now is either a TA or a TA lurker.

Cherry beach afterwards was fun. A little scary at first with the kids and stray dogs and random people dancing in the bushes, but the nite was good. what a way to end the week

Thanks to danielle (DNMR) and Carney (i don't hate u) for their generous hospitality, and sean (goodnet) for his company

hey to ray & rich (24_7 and um..stereoprincess BF - i don't think u told me yer TA name) and esp to arturob. hope u had fun!!

hey girl!

it was really great meeting you. thanks for everything on the boat! he he he

speak sooon,
