THAT KICKED ASS
Great great night, had a blast.
Tried to find JM (Yellow Hat) but never could track ya down 
Here are my thoughts:
+ For the venue, great job w/ security, crowd control, bars, etc. etc. etc. Great job
+/- For decorations, what was there was effectives (those strobes were SO bright) but I felt like the middle to the back of the venue was lacking. The front was great though.
+ Chad's set, incredible, well done. Loved hearing Paul Jackson - The Push (Main Mix) at the end, so moody 
+/- For PVD. This was my 3rd time seeing him and I just felt something was lacking. Very solid overall but just didnt seem to have the energy etc. that I expected from past shows. Very good overall though. Ended WAY too early
+ For the crowd, everyone was having a blast, smiles all around, very cool people both 21+ and 18+
- Finish time PVD didnt come on until almost midnight and stopped at 2:15 ?????? Heard the 3rd turntable broke too, too bad.
Anyway, great night, anxious for a tracklist, hope all had fun.
hey Anubis i was towards the front close to the stage, on the left side. i met up with deejay2002 when he got there, and inatrance and Bondor towards the end, as i moved closer towards the middle front.
yeah what's the deal with PvD getting there @ 12 ???
hehe loved the last track that Chad put on, everybody was like WTF! i was like "MORE MORE prog/tribal!!!"
>JM<
I think it was "PvD vs Marco V - For a Revolt" not "For an Angel (Nu Nrg Remix."
My summary:
Chad Owen sounded like he was giving PvD a run for his money. He played 90 straight minutes of power trance (think Dumonde) which put the crowd in a frenzy, and then moved towards a little prog/tribal(??). Huge ups and huge breakdowns, with people clapping to fill in when the bass drums went silent. Some absolutely phat breakbeats complemented huge trance synths too. The highpoint of Federal's set was when he laid down GTR - Mistral with heavy bass at a fast pace. I went absolute nuts.
A little after midnight, the world's best DJ casually sauntered onto the stage behind Federal. They shook hands and then Federal bowed before PvD. PvD's first track kept the heavy hitting hardtrance attitude of federal. There was a sudden cease in the beat, a female vocal of "I know you want me" and then the beat came slamming back. I must ID this tune.
During most of the set, PvD was his usual stoic crowd pleaser, offering an occasional smile that drove us all nuts.
His outfit was fabulous yet simple, as usual for the master of fashion.
Michelle Nols - Time rules.
PvD honoring the request for Emerge rules.
PvD smiling at you rules.
PvD signing stuff afterwards rules.
Downsides:
Some moron was blowing his whistle for about 20 minutes
I spent too much energy dancing to DJ Federal, and so I was dead for the last half hour of PvD's set.

oh yeah the security was cool. wonder if there were a lot of underagers who "borrowed" their 21+ friends' bracelets, pasted with gum on the bottom so they'd stay and went for alcohol
hehe
i would've done that if i was underage and went with 21+ friends!
>JM<
Shit my ankles hurt like hell......jumping up and down on a slanted floor is not a good idea I think my vertical jump is like 30 something so i better just bend my knees next time 
pussies. 
i swear i did the most jumping all night out of everybody there, and yet i'm doing just fine today
>JM<

So there was at least one photographer at the event, do we have any pictures? Any posted on the internet? I wasn't wise enough to bring a camera myself.

heh, i have tons of good pics but they are in hard copy from a one time single use camera, so that means i'd have to scan and then post, and that all is just a hassle....
i just dont have time to do all that, so i'll let dj2002 post the ones he's got.

Sandman (The 1st DJ of the night) posted this at NWTEKNO, thought the last bit about Paul and the CDs was interesting:
Sandman Quote from www.nwtekno.org
"Wow what a fun night. It was nice to see so many people all in one place dancing to good music. Granted everything was not perfect... ie: my records getting stolen a week prior, having to play on that crazy mixer, and PVD coming in a little late...but overall the night was magical. I talked to more happy people than I could count. Chad your set was killer nice job! Oh yeah, and thanks for the drink. PVD did have some problems...they stemed from the fact that the DJ booth was sitting directly on the stagewhen it really should be flown with a sound system that produces that much bass. (NGT will be flying the DJ booth from now on starting with the Groove Armada show) .... During Paul's third record he started getting mad bass feedback. I think the soundguy turned up the master volume a notch and then the low end started to hum. Nobody's fault just one of those classic vinyl/stlus feedback problems. He was a little disapointed, and instead of fighting the feedback he chose to mix only CDs. This may explain his track selection and his choice to end at 2:15. All in all, I think the guy did a phenomenal job. "
mixed cd? you're kidding me. well i couldnt tell the difference, once again PvD is the master!
though, what the fuck. seems like many times someone "organzies" one of this big events, something goes wrong.....
amateurs. what can i say....
>JM<
i could easily say that JM got his $$$ worth.......damn what can i say? He is a full time student at uw, part time professoinal clubber/raver...sheeeit
