unless of course she started this show up early thing herself and then it spreaded like brushfire thru facebook, xvi and cell phone calls/texts. Yes, I quoted myself

Black & Blue is the only way to go !! They always stood up to my expectations year after year. And they usually exceed my expectations every year !!

Originally posted by lol internet haha just wanted to say armin's set from like 30mins to 2h, it felt like the whole thing was similar to roadkill (the massive buildup to drop a basic hard beat.) not sure if anyone actually understands what im trying to say here.

actually, me and my friends thought we kept hearing road kill for an hour of the set. SO ture

Originally posted by Enigmatik Wow, that's a little harsh...it may not have been your cup of tea (or maybe too early for that type of music?), but to say it was absolute shit (when it was anything but) ain't right.

was just saying my opinion....said the first 20 min, he played really soft and cheesy....usually ferry comes out banging (or every other time i saw him)

he did pick it up towards the end...dont know, maybe IM fucked everything up for everyone, including him

Yea, I thought IM should have been scheduled for after Menno, instead of before Ferry.....need to build up to crazyness...

I just got back from the province of QC last night...my trip was was fun BEB was good! not the best party but still a good party I will write my review later today

This was my 1st time at Beb since 05 and probably will never go back to the this event again...WOW times have changed. That was the worst music i've ever heard at a massive. Don't get me started with Guetta and Offer's set...Just plain horrible!!!! U must have been deaf if u didn't hear Offer's trainwrecks when he tried to mix...Cedric Gervais was ok but he lost me towards the end of his set...Cesar Romero reminded me of being at Red-lite on a Saturday night. Nothing special.

This party is really targeting the noobs of the scene. Thank god my friends were there. The quality of hot woman was below par 4sure. Sorry for the negative comments but i juss expected more from this event. Nice to see Louis and Licks...briefly said hi to YankeeBaby and her friend Chimera. I juss went back to the loft our crew rented for the weekend on St Gabriel in old montreal....Partied hard enough there to finish my long weekend on a good note.

Finally got my videos from BEB uploaded!

Check them out here:

I didn't read all the posts, but the consensus is that it sucked?

fuck that I had the best time def not the BEST bal en blanc, but the music was great, and the peeps made it better. However, in terms of organization and ambience, it was the worst of the 5 I have been to.

i went in knowing that the music was not going to impress me. going in knowing that really helped me enjoy myself. the people were what made the party. i had a great time. the music was sub-par however. only once in a while would i hear a track that caught my attention.

I see big badgers on this page

Let's get off the ridiculous lineup aspect for a bit: the washroom situation was brutal and a cesspool even at the beginning of the night. The staff selling drinks were rude at times and the house room music once again had crap during 3AM peak time. It was overcrowded unless you were dancing on the periphery, so pretty much like the Guv in TO.

For an event which prides itself in being world class, with world class djs and attendees from all over North America (and beyond), it was ran very Mickey Mouse like. Fron the lame religious theme, to the house headliner, to some of the BeB staff posting on here and so on, BeB did not reach expectations once again, which is too bad because this event has potential to be something great. I know these guys work hard.. but are they working smart?

If you had a good time, I think it was because of your friends and some the djs, that's about it.

PS, top marks though for the coatcheck

Conclusion is, BEB please read some of the posts on here...

Then go compare yourself to the event that was hosted by Tribe (S&D)

Get some fkn lasers for the tech room next time, it wouldn't cost you that much but would definitely make ZRAW and other Trance addicts happy.

I think the lighting for the houseroom was better. Looking at the videos and stuff.

I think before getting lazers they should get actual techno Djs before calling it the tech room!

Last time I went was '05, and the one thing I can easily say is man did they shit on the setup this year. Looking at the pictures also from 2006 and 2007, seems like it got worse every year.

Either way, I knew what kinda music was gonna be played so I was able to handle the fromage. I can easily say I don't enjoy trance, but man I actually loved the last hour of Armin's set. Seemed like the crowd was loving Ferry...

I missed Infected which was one of the reasons I wanted to go, didn't really catch much of Offer's set so I guess I missed most of the trainwrecks... David Guetta is David Guetta, so I really wasn't suprised with how he played.

Victor Calderone was probably the best one that played all night, I didn't catch the whole set but ohhhh mannn... Crazy Shit.

The funniest thing must've been waiting in that 3 hour line, I showed up at 11:30 and got in by 2. All I gotta say is I feel bad for the people who got whacked before hand and waited in that damn line. Those people made my wait time alot easier, haha! I saw some damn funny shit waiting in that line...

To Sum it up, by the time I got in I wasn't happy cause of the wait, but by the end I was having a good time.

I *heart* him. Nice dude indeed. Its not like he was playing the bongos or anything!

you should be in charge !!!

I was housified at this year's BeB...I actually enjoyed Guetta's set a lot.

Highlights for me where System F - Exhale with both Ferry and Armin in the booth and Menno's whole set.

Great party with lots of GTs with friends! Can't wait till next year...
