so who else saw Armin knock over the table behind him on stage during the build of a tune. funny as hell seeing all his cds and stuff went flying all over the floor lolz
oooooook time for my review
pre-party at Cam's definitely got me hyped up for LoL even more.. go there around 9.30, line up was pretty decent, I think we got in in abour 15 minutes
the place was nice and not crowded at first, walked in on a bunch of TA's immediately.. walked around the complex with legendary_waz and 2famous4u (lol I guess our only proper time together) and then I landed at my spot for the night at KH with me hubby (lol, I think we need to start making kids to sound believable
)
Oliver was ok'ish, nothing special for me there
Armin surprised the hell out of me by being so heavy, some excellent tunes {Black is the Color, Helsinki Scorchin', 5 and more I can't recall anymore}, but at the same time I felt like he didn't play enough of tunes I love him for
no Shivers or Control Freak (unless I went deaf for that period of time).. but I still <3 him 
Junkie def won my heart last night, tune after tune and after tune I just couldn't stop being satisfied in a musical sense 
Ferry played a very solid set, def some great epic tunes there, but by 6 I was done completely and left
was amazing meeting some new faces last night - Gypsy (you look diffferent in real life in great way thought), Coxx (such a gentleman!), cenik (whoa, another tall beast!), MikeyN (dude you rocked, mwah), Tricky_T
and of course it was a pleasure to party with ppl I know already - Johnny (can't believe I've spent over 6 hours with you last night), Kat (we need to party properly in the SAME room next time, lol), Brant, Cam+Sam, Simon, David (the air kiss part was the sweetest thing), Pavel (thank you SO much for all the pics and the ticket too!) and of course Kate!! - why didn't I know you listen to trance too?!
I'm a bit pissed off I didn't see everyone I wanted to see last night, and maybe I should've travelled around the rooms more, but oh well it was more or less worth the $70 cab drive back home!
see you all at US11!

My very first LoL review...
The s
- Armin was...wow...I'm glad I stayed for his entire set
- "Hi, are you sticky_shoes...nice to meet you I'm ________" or "Are you from TA...nice to meet you I'm sticky_shoes"
- Meeting up and dancing it up with the TAs...you guys rock!!!
- The green beaded necklace (TY Jamie )
- Junkie XL's remix of Coldplay's Talk
- Digweed's set (though I wasn't there for a long time) was IMO a very versatile set
- Ferry dropped it like it was hotttttttttt!
- Enjoyed being in every room at some point of the night (except skybar )
The s
- The line-up to KH
- Overcrowdiness in both the main room and KH
- Not enough dancing time with cribbs and the DCA
- Missing Hernan, and Syd Blu
- I didn't have enough energy at the end...
Overall...a very good night of tunes but not a whole lot of dancing...I guess it was the fact I didn't have enough dancing room at times ...but I made the effort to move my body More importantly, I left KH smiling this morning...so mission accomplished!
pics and vids come

| Originally posted by Wurm The night was all about Ferry for me. Can't really judge Armin since it was ca-razy in there, no room to move, just chilled out in the corner of the KH. Digweed had a very 'spacey' prog sound going on. The chill made it hard to enjoy Skybar. Ferry started off slowly, and got quite hard as the morning progressed. That is the latest I will ever be out again. 6 or 7am is more manageable. Got to attend to responsibilities this afternoon, and a morning like that lends itself to over-indulgence. I'm having a hard time with the club crowd. The shirtless 'roid cru was in full effect. Maybe it's also because I noticed some people there older than me, and I did not ever want to be them. Line of the night: "Do you know how I know that you're gay?" Props to all the TAs, they are usually the ones with smiling happy faces throughout the night, less of the sketched-ness that you can see on the faces of the regulars. "Did Ferry play any of his big tracks?" (Punk/Body Rock etc.) "Who's playing right now?" Fer crissakes. This one will keep me off the roster for a while. |
well now I can say that I am no longer a Guvernment and a LOL virgin!!
what a great first LOL for me. Where do i start..!
Got there at 10:30ish, skipped thru line quickly and went to the Tent to chill before Cattaneo comes on. Whoever was spinning in there then was quite good, got my ass bouncing on the couches! beautiful crowd in there too.
Then we moved to Guv when luke fair was playing. It was allrite, but nothing revolutionary. We were on the stage behind the dj booth and had plenty of space. Then who do i see poppin up by the DJ booth, CATTANEO, excitment kicks in!!!
Few minutes later, cattaneo invades the booth and drops em one by one. Wow I <3 Cattaeneo. I loved the dancing space on the stage and the patio being not soo packed. Guv wasnt super packed during his set, which was great.
Then I wanted to check Armin, since he was playing at the same time as armin, we went to KH just for a little. What a friggin sweat fest in there, not even dancing and im pissing wet, so i didnt get into it. Bathrooms in KH are wayyyyy too small and pple r dumb in there. yuck
then we head back to good ol guv for some more cattaneo. yummmy
then who do i see poppin up close to the dj booth, DIGWEEEEEEEEEED, omg!! excitment level 120/10 to top off that evel to 1000/10, myself and milos go see him and take a picture with him,, highlight of the night!!!!!(part 1!!!!)
Then we went to KH for some junkie XL, OMFG, his first 5-6 tracks were off the hook. Amazing crowd interaction. Props to junkie xl. First time seeing him. Beastie boys song tore me a new one. I was jumping like a mofo in there and sweating like a pig. Glad KH wasnt super packed then!!! then it was time to return to the GUV for some Digweed
DIggers is sooooo sharp, so great, hes my biatch :P cant wait to see u at dragonfly!!!!!! his tunes were crazy one after the other. then we went by the DJ booth and got a picture with CATTANEO!!!! Thats highlite #2 of the nite!!
it was starting to get late, and everytime we were to leave to drive back to niagara, Digger dropped another sick one....so we stayed longer and longer to finally take off at 5:20. What a nite. Made it to bed at 7.
I was glad to meet some new TA's last nite: Lisa loo and your bf(sorry bud if i dont remember ur name), saw magikb, laura, fahad( sorry i didnt say hi, i was boucin too much at digweeds and cattaneo!), nada i saw u in another lineup so i could say hi, sasha i cant wait to see ur pics of diggers and cattaneo!!!, fuck im prolly missin many more
Luke fair - 7/10
Cattaneo 10/10
Armin - no rating as KH was nuts and couldnt get into it
Junkie XL - For the 1st part 11/10!
Digweed 20/10.
Crowd 2.5/10 - sweetie pushy and shirtless ewww
pictures with digger and cattaneo PRICELESS
Overall was a good night but not a great night for me. I showed up right by 12..didn't realize guv had valet parking but lol just handed over my keys to some guy...hubby thought the bimmer was gone for good but we got it back in one piece. Paid off the bouncer and literally got in in about 2 minutes while my poor friends were waiting at least 30-40 minutes in the guestlist line.
Maybe I just prefer smaller venues now but moving from room to room really kills the musical feeling for me. Armin was good...not great...Junkie XL didn't impress either....but Ferry and Diggers....Woweeee....I've never seen either live yet and they were both making me feel the music.
What's up with skybar and the speakers blowing out every so often?! I think a roadtrip to Dragonfly is definitely in order for the 20th.
It was nice seeing the TA's last night. Always puts a smile on my face.
HOLY FUCKING DIGWEED. WOW. Set of the year? Just maybe...
I will say this ..
I LOVED ARMINS OPENING TRACK ! been dying to hear that in a club ..
(Eric Prydz vs Pink Flyod - Proper Education)
I've been fastly growing a fan of some of eric prydz stuff .. great for starting a good hard set like armin is to be counted on for
It wasn an awesome party, awesome!!!
Great to see everyone, too bad Ferry was on 4-10, as I was leaving at 7:30 his set was just getting better and better
Big up's to my girl FunkyGroove for the absolutely amazing job on the roll call

Hehehehe
i got in about 10 minutes before armin started playing. oliver sounded slow and relaxed compared what i'm used to hearing from him.
buuren was awesome. loved every track he played. solid set with non stop dancing.
after his set went for a walk around to the tent for a bit. some wicked beats there then went to the guv for a bit and heard a good portion of digweed. some wicked songs. but imo, it was nothing compared to armin and ferry.
ferry was awesome too. i was hoping to hear some songs but didn't and heard other ones that got me moving.
met some TA's and saw a bunch other ones walking around. i didn't say hi though for some reason.
pics and videos from my phone will be up soon.
anyone know how to convert a 3gp video to something else? its from my razr and i lose video when i export it with quicktime.

not at a bad night but nothin special either. startin of the nite was pretty slow, couldnt get into any of the music cause of the crowding. finally at like 2-3 am the orange room got me pumped. all i can say is that the tent was where the party was. we just kept goin back for more and more electro house and did it deliever, boyz noize and princess superstar ripped the place up and the sound system was probably the best in the entire complex. koolhaus sounded muddy but the tent was perfect. when boyz dropped that remix of breathe n pirncess dropped smack my bitch up the place went mental, even scored myself a boyz vinyl n got it autographed . prob not goin to another LOL again, grown out of em... rather stick to my smaller parties where i can actually move.

| Originally posted by Clublifexxx Well what can I say...It was an ok night. Armin's set was good. I was kinda pissed that he did a 12-3 set. Junkie was very dissapointing. I would have expected better from him after his ultra spin set. Ferry was just shait...He would play crap then he drops a great track then back to crap...I left at about 4am, came home and slept....Great seeing all the T.A's again... |
Awesome time!
Got in around 9:40 through the guestlist line and stayed in KH for a bit before venturing out into the other rooms while it was still relatively "empty".
Eventually made my way upto Skybar with Tordan and Shudder and stayed up there to watch the fireworks. Great show! At about 11:30-ish we all decided to head down to KH.
Armin came on at 12 and didn't really do much for me. 1/2 hour later I was in Guv dancing my a** off to Cattaneo. WOW!! 
INCREDIBLE set by the man from Argentina!
Made it back to KH for the last 45 minutes of Armin's set and he was on fire. I had a feeling he would throw down a good, hard set because he had an earlier set time. 
Junkie XL was great too. Caught a bit of Boyz Noize - very talented individual!
Went up to the Deluxe Lounge to catch some of Digweed and really wasn't feeling his style, but stuck around b/c of the great company.
After snaking my way through the entire complex I made it back to KH for Ferry. He was excellent (save for some breaks tracks)!!!
Nice seeing all the usual suspects, meeting some new ones, and also some I hadn't seen all summer!! You all know who you are.
This was quite possibly my fav LOL of all time. The whole night just seemed to flow very smoothly from beginning to end.
See you all soon.
J. 
Can someone be so kind as to ID the first track digweed played? I creamed my jeans when i heard it.
Kthnx.
