yes. i am serious.

think about it. armin only spins in Canada in Toronto at the guv. he obviously signed some crazy lame contract that ties him to play at the guv whenever charles says he plays. charles wants to make a lot of money of armin so he gets him to play the events that bring in a lot at the door.

they funded the release of his CD through Ultra Records. He pretty much owes them his life including a bunch of gigs at Guv. In addition, the more Armin plays here and promotes his stuff, the more money Charles makes.

Originally posted by DPetey81 Aren't there a lot more djs to be announced for this? Maybe some people will still get what they want out of the lineup. I'm more than likely going to come up for this because there really isn't much like this in the states. True, the lineup doesn't seem as stacked as some past LOLs, but it should still be a good night, regardless. Armin playing that long of a set is, in the very least, unique for this side of the globe. I've heard nothing but good things about Angello and Ingrosso. Benassi is as big as they come nowadays, like him or not, and the times I've seen him have been enjoyable. Knight, Aoki, Novy, etc, etc.... The guvernment has soo many rooms that I would think anybody could find something that pleases him/her. Besides, I know a lot of people can go to a party like this and have fun no matter what, whether it's because of the music, atmosphere, or just the fact that they are hanging out with friends. With that said, I troll the TOTA board a lot, and I'm always seeing terrific parties listed. The boat cruises and other events just this year have looked awesome. I can't really think of another place in North America that has the consistent club events like you guys have up there. New York, Miami, Chicago, and the West Coast have good events, but not EVERY weekend like Toronto. Not to mention places like the Guv stay open soooo much later than anything the US has to offer. Outside of Miami, I can't think of any place that stays open past 5AM. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I think you guys are definitely spoiled up there. Couple that with the fact that I am deprived down this way, and I am completely jealous of all who dwell in and around Toronto. So, anyway, if I do indeed make it up for the weekend, I hope to meet a lot of you (bbq?) and I look forward to good times. Note: My apologies for the long-winded, out-of-towner commentary.... carry on

the long-winded, out-of-towner commentary was muchly appreciated.

when was the last time Armin spun at Guv and it wasn't an all access event....I can't think of a time in the last 5 years at least

He played at the Guv in April 2002, and then also came back in June 2002.

What about Vancouver, Winnipeg, Niagra, Montreal, Edmonton? ... where are you getting this info from?

The rest of the stuff you mention is borderline lunacy, again where are you getting this misinformation from?

lol..first off..Toronto is not the centre of the EDM universe and whether you like him or not..Armin is a God as far as the rest of the world goes...he does not need Toronto....furthermore, there may be some sort of exclusivity contract...but that would be a business decision beneficial for both parties..AVB is not Charles' bitch by any stretch of the imagination....he probably likes playin at the Guv cuz it is a world class venue and can afford him.....damn..I was really hopin you were jokin...

First of all....no DJ is a GOD in any part of the World....even suggesting an AV Geek like Armin is a God makes you loose all credibility.

If any of you did any research on Charles' Family Tree you would all know that Armin is Charles' second cousin and that is why he spins exclusively for him.

This thread is more exciting than the lineup for LOL.

If you were any kind of Armin fan you would know this as its all in his book. He goes into great detail about Toronto and the Guvernment, including a detailed description of what his condo will look like when Guv is finally turned into condos.

there's one proposed for dubai and moscow. it's a rotating tower. each floor rotates according to each occupants specifications.









World's First 'Building In Motion' Set For Dubai

Italian Architect Poised To Build 80-Story Tower With Revolving Floors Powered By Wind Turbines

Plan In Place To Put Up Similar Buildings In Moscow, NYC



NEW YORK (CBS) � You have to see this to believe it.

Italian architect Dr. David Fisher announced on Tuesday the launch of a revolutionary skyscraper in Dubai dubbed as the "world's first building in motion," an 80-story tower with revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape.

The spinning floors, hung like rings around an immobile cement core, would offer residents a constantly changing view of the Persian Gulf and the Dubai's futuristic skyline.

At a news conference in New York, Rotating Tower Dubai Development Ltd headed by the Dynamic Group, revealed the design and floor plans of the rotating building.

The one planned for Dubai will rise 1,380 feet into the air. Sales of individual apartments will begin in September, with asking prices of around $3,000 per square foot. The smallest, at 1,330 square feet, would cost about $4 million and the largest, a 12,900-square-foot villa, $38.7 million.

Fisher also said a second Dynamic Tower planned for Moscow is now in the advanced design phase, with preassembling of the units to start soon and completion scheduled for 2010. The Moscow tower, which will have 70 floors and be 1,310 feet tall, will be located in the Moscow City area, the new prestigious part of the Russian capital.

"Our intention is to build the third rotating skyscraper in New York," Dr. Fisher said. "Additional Dynamic Towers will be built around the world, following an expression of interest from developers, governments, and public officials to construct a Dynamic Tower in Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea and Switzerland."

So all this begs the question: Is it real or science fiction?

A few penthouse villas would spin on command using a voice-activated computer. The motion of the rest of the building would be choreographed in patterns that could be altered over time.

Fisher declared that his tower will revolutionize the way skyscrapers are made -- a claim that might strike some as excessively bold.

Fisher acknowledges that he is not well known, has never built a skyscraper before and hasn't practiced architecture regularly in decades. But he insisted his lack of experience wouldn't stop him from completing the project, which has attracted top design talent, including Leslie E. Robertson, the structural engineer for the World Trade Center and the Shanghai World Financial Center.

"I did not design skyscrapers, but I feel ready to do so," Fisher said.

Twisting floors are just one of several futuristic features in the building; the first of several Fisher hopes to build with a similar design.

Giant wind turbines installed between every floor, he said, will generate enough electricity to power the entire building, and lifts will allow penthouse residents to park their cars right in their apartments.

The Moscow version of the tower would also have a retractable helicopter pad. Both structures, at over 1,300 feet, would be taller than the Empire State Building.

Even the method of construction would be unorthodox.

Fisher said each floor will be prefabricated in an Italian factory, and then shipped to the site to be attached to the core. Assembling a building in this fashion, he said, will require only 80 technicians and take only 20 months, saving tens of millions of dollars, for a total cost of $700 million to build.

On its face, the project seems to pose a number of complicated engineering puzzles.

How would the plumbing hookups work in an apartment that is constantly moving? Fisher said the pipes will connect to the core via attachments similar to the ones used by military aircraft for in-flight refueling.

Wouldn't people get dizzy? No, says Fisher. The rotations will be slow enough that no one will notice.

With so many moving parts, wouldn't the building be a maintenance nightmare? Fisher said the building's modular construction will allow easy access to parts that need to be replaced.

Robertson, who attended Tuesday's news conference, said that the skyscraper might be unusual, but is "absolutely" buildable.

"You can build anything," he said, smiling.

Fisher declined to say exactly where in Dubai the tower will be built or when site work might begin. He insisted, however, that factory production is set to start within weeks and that the tower, which will contain office space, a luxury hotel and apartments, will be complete by 2010.

Skeptics might question Fisher's credentials to pull off the job.

In a biography he had been distributing for months, he said he graduated from the University of Florence in 1976, came to New York in the mid-1980s and later developed hotels and ran a company that specialized in stone and prefabricated construction materials.

The biography also said he received an honorary doctorate from "The Prodeo Institute at Columbia University in New York." No such institution exists, however, and Columbia said it had never awarded Fisher an honorary degree.

Asked to explain the discrepancy, Fisher said, through his New York publicists, that he had been awarded the degree by the Catholic University of Rome during a ceremony in 1994 held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, which is near Columbia's campus.

Asked again to clarify the name of the school that conferred the degree, Fisher's publicists said in an e-mail that "Dr. Fisher did receive an honorary doctorate in Economics from Pre Deo University, but it has been removed from his bio because he wants to be entirely accurate and cannot be with this information."
