wow thanks for the video....really helps to have that when people ask why this shit is so good...thanks for that...and that song is really something.
i really wish Cox could come alone. He really was something else.
Wasn't feeling AVB, and definatley wasn't feeling the human pinball game of coatcheck. "go to guv" " go to KH" "back to guv" "back to KH" etc. etc.....that was fun.
Every bartender was incredibly nice last night.. Maybe the bouncers should be bartenders to see what real work is like and have all the bartenders be bouncers.....
thank you Carl Cox.
I think emery and I were the luckiet coat check people
get to KH, they say its full, go to the Orange room...after trying to find coat check in orange room, a bouncer directs us and we are first in line. turn around and BAM theres like 40 people behind us.
when I left, no lineup at all.

The past 24 hours have been the best ever.
I got a new computer, had an absolute blast at Decadence, and now I have my internet connection up and running at my place in Toronto! All I need now is some sex and I'm good!
I Was actually overall impressed with the whole event. A little heavy on the Ginos, but that's to be expected. It's the guv! Oh well. Got in I think just after 11:00pm some time. My buddy forgot his ID so I was on my own for the first 30 minutes or so. Never found my roommate, but that's ok.
I've never danced that much before. My highlight of the night was actually Nick Warren. What a awesome DJ. He even smiled for my camera! 
I wanted so bad to stick around for Van Buuren but my right foot went gimpy so I had to leave. That was only 4am. 
Oh well. Much needed night out. Good times had all round.
I've been wanting to see Carl Cox live for at least five years now and finally got the opportunity. Mind you Armin and Nick Warren at the same event. This was a 10/10 event for me from the very start.
Got there around 11pm with loca & loconet. Place was filling up nicely. My first time seeing Remy and he was doing a pretty decent job. Nick warren was wayyy better than last time. Only caught about 10 minutes of nu nrg before heading to guv for Carl. Enjoyed Mark Lewis's set until he showed up. Carl came on about half an hour late but got right down to business. All I can say is the next 2.5 hours I spent in guv was just pure techno bliss. Went back to KH around 6am expecting Armin to be laying down some lovey dovey trancey stuff. If that were the case I would have run back to guv but no, it was trance with techno sauce mixed in!! Just the way I like it. 
Needless to say I danced my ass off until it was all over.
Met some TOTAs for the first time. Forgive me if I left anyone out. Jem_Hadar, Kati, TFT-Productions, Trancechaos, Karim (my neck hurts from having to look up 
) and last but not least Jayx1 (enjoyed our lil convo on the balcony.) Glad to meet you all. As always it was a blast hanging out with the TOTAs.
I was glad they had setup that walkway outside so it was much easier getting around. Girl dangling from the ceiling... quite entertaining There was still plenty of room to dance and walk around, I didn't feel like a sardine last night. Only thing that wasn�t good was the sweat rain.
Lastly, one funny/freaky incident from the end of the night. As Armin had his encore track going he proceeded to put records back into his box by the side of the stage. Suddenly some guy walks up and starts saying something to him. Unfortunately, I did not hear what he was saying but judging from Armin's expression it wasn't something nice. Next he proceeds to tug at Armin's record box and then his socks!! At this point Armin jumps back with a confused look on his face and goes back to the decks. Now this guy is grabbing Armin's jacket beside the record box. So I head over to guy and start patting him on the shoulders and beckoned him not to do it. Luckily he gave up and walked away. Dood looked seriously agitated though. Where the fuck were the bouncers then? 
My non-TA friend Puru was with me when this happened but did anyone else see this? Know who that guys was? Anywayz... I'm not gonna let stupid things like that put a damper on one of the best clubbing nights of my life.
My official review.
The night started off wicked, cause my friend's dad smoked us the most chronic "honey" oil. It's kinda like hash oil.
Then we climb into the limo and get our drink on. Here's me double fisting and falling off the seat.
When I got up adjust myself and continue drinking, I managed to sneak a photo in of my beautiful housemate stef:
From left to right: Pat, John, Mike, Mike (yes confusing I know), Me.
Mikes head, and the girls Emily, Stef and Sheena
Soon, the glasses became a hassle. Gotta do it up ghetto fabulous style.
Mickey and bottle of bambino later, I'm toast.
Safe to say I over did it with the predrink. Those who were lucky enough to meet me when I first walked in (around quarter to 1) have met intoxicated karim.
We walked in to this fine sight.
Mindspin (on TOTA), Justin, Laura, and me
NuNRG
Emily, Nema, Stef, Ryan (mindspin), and me.
Yeah my shirt was cool, but his shirt fucking rocked!!
Jem_Harder, Karen (?), big_charm
Karen, showing off her signed shirt.
Jamie, Katy, me and Larissa
Armin!!
Alright, now the text review. I started off the night a little overboard. This is my last party for a little while (at least till exams finish, or maybe ferry). So I wanted to do it up large last night, hence the numerous sessions, and starting off the night SO bombed.
But yeah, I had a blast, simply because of all the cool new people I met. The only people I knew before going to this party from TA was Alex (ubertrancer) and any of the TOTA's that came to the James Zabiela dinner, so I met alot of you last night for the first time, definately too many to list.
I honestly don't even remember walking into the club (dahhhh), but I do remember nick warren's set. And it was groovin. I was too busy trying to be a social butterfly to really bust out a move and begin to dance at this point. So I waited till Nu NRG came on and started to get hyped for the rest of the nights music. NU NRG rocked.
Armin came on and set his pace to be that of a scorcher. Sure enough, it was. Loved it. Relentless trance that just had me moving non stop. Track of the night belongs to Max Graham - Gone (hence the reason it is the featured track in the video, cause in the non dubbed video, the footage is actually from that tracks breakdown, only the bass is muffled on the camera's mic, hence I redubbed it and chopped it around). ARMIN! ARMIN! ARMIN!
Ventured off into the orange room the odd time to bust a move to the breaks. When I walked in one time, Atomic Hooligan was laying it down. PROPS!!
I have to say it was great meeting Ryan (mindspin). Small world that I know and have partied with his friends, yet we never knew eachother. A new member of the crew, that's 4 sure.
Karim
nice reviews peeps - looks like a dahum fine night
Mother of God!!!
What an unbelieveable night!!
The pain I am in right now was worth ever minute of the Party!!
This night was better that I could have ever asked for!!
The night started of chilling at Trancechaos's place with Ub3rTrancer, Preppychick, Highroller,Jem_hadar, Jay...aka motha facking crazy dancer, and the cute little TA girl (sorry I forget your TA name!) You guys are such wickked people to hang out with. I am glad we got to hang out before the party. Preppychick, thanks for the rev and some of the redbull..it was a nice rush of energy to the start off a very long night ahead!
Arrived at Koolhaus around 11ish and there was a pretty decent amount of people there partying hard core.....as the night progressed, the place was just insanely packed!! I was sweating my ass off even when I wasn't dancing. 
By the end of the night..it was raining!!! haha!!! EWWWWAAAAA!
It was great meeting and seeing all you TA's!!! You guys are just super. Karim, pleasure was mine. It was nice faces that I haven't partied with in ages (starsearcher and The Vrk. You guys all make the partying an even more amazing experiece for me. RJ...you made me laugh tons dude!!! and you are absolutely right...SHORT PEOPLE DO ROCK! Jem_hadar, thanks for the pretty neckless 
and good guess on the bra size bro!! haha!
Nick Warren was killer. I was lovin' it. I attempted to check out the Guv before Armin came on...what a huge mistake that was. I was not liking the crowd at all. I actually don't feel bad missing Cox's set (yes crazy but true)
Armin...wow...he was incredible. He dropped it harder than I would have EVER expected! This girl is all about the hardness!!! haha!! The highlight of the night for me was when he dropped one of Teisto's tracks>>Adagio For Strings!!!!! It was crazy. I can honestly say at that moment I don't think I have EVER danced so hard in my life!!! I was hitting and stepping on people around me and I didn't give a fack!!! Haha! I was just going nutty!! Sorry if I happened to hit or step on one of you TA's!
I would like to give a special thanks to all my partners in crime that night...Playa24_7...Dan I love you to death!! You were dancing it up hardcore when the rest of us were dieing!! It was wickked watching you!! Vertigo...Happy Birthday....hope this party was as good for you as you deserved it to be!! DancingQueen169...it was great that you got Armin to sign your shirt!! I am so happy we have become such close friends! I am looking forward to the move to T.O. with ya and having many more party nights to come!! Big Charm...I'm glad you didn't die on us LOL Man you were halarious on the way home..your neck must have been really sore after that car ride home! haha!
