Favorite partie(s) of 2004
The arc memories thread inspired me to think of this (cuz i never went to arc 
). 2004 is almost over... what were your most memorable parties this year? i've been to so damn many this year, its hard to remember them all, but a few stand out.
1) Tiesto in Concert, Arnhem... by far the best of this year! I've never been to a party with so many people, all there to see one dj, dancing their hearts out for 9 hours. And to me, the last hour was so emotional and memorable, when he banged out all those classics. I took away soooo many memories from that night, and from that whole trip. I hope he does another one next year!
2) Ultra Spin 5, Toronto... first time at Guvernment/Koolhaus, first time seeing marco, MIKE, and astral project.... was totally blown away by the music, the friendliness of the toronto peeps, and bonding with my best friends in another country.
3) Armin @ Crobar.... besides a truly awesome set, it was another amazing night spent with awesome friends. there are so many memories i have of that weekend, its not even possible to put it into words. And when he played Burned with Desire as part of his encore, it took me over the edge. i will never forget that night.
4) 4th of july, miami... spent the second 4th of july in a row with some of my best friends in miami for the 4th of july blast at peacock park, hosted by 93.1, and then markus schulz at Envy for the afterparty, where Jess from Motorcycle sang As The Rush Comes live. that whole trip was the beginning of an incredible summer.
2005 has a lot to live up to!!
most of the best things IMO happened in threes 
in addition to the ones at Arc I mentioned in that other thread...
WMC: PVD @ Space + ULTRA + Tiesto @ Space
London/Liverpool, Aug 2004: Gatecrasher/Vandit Night (PVD, Jon O'Bir, Matt Hardwick) @ Heaven +
Creamfields (followed by the adventure of getting back to London) +
Euphoria (Adam White, John Askew, John 00 Fleming, Dave Pearce, Matt Darey) @ Ministry of Sound
Mysteryland, Aug 2004
PVD @ Summerstage, Central Park, June 2004 - in the rain!!!
Free parties with Sasha
First in June, at Canal Room (and also the next day at Virgin)
then in September, at Crobar (with PVD, Alex Gold, DJ Rap, and David Morales)
Vic's going away parties: Ikon + loft + Le Souk, followed by James Holden @ Cielo
Armin's 6-hour set @ Crobar, Aug
Ferry's 6-hour set @ Avalon, Oct
Lange + Dumonde @ Shelter, July
PvD at Roxy in Feb was by far my favorite event of this past year... 
#1. Paul van Dyk @ Summerstage (in the rain!) - Without a shadow of a doubt! I dont think Ive ever had this much fun in my life.
#2. Labour of Love @ Guvernment - Although I was only able to stay there for @ 5 hours (because I reaggrivated a heavily sprained ankle) I had so much fucking fun dancing to Sander K without stopping - he owned my ass hard.
#3. Ultra Spin 5 @ Guvernment - Just an all around great party.
#4. Sander Kleinenberg @ Arc - I dont think there was a better way to start the year.
#5. Im leaving this one empty until the year is over.
1) pvd at summerstage 2004
2) sasha @ avalon, NYE
3) both times i've seen sander at crobar this year (june and november)
4) james zabiela, crobar
5) junkie xl kicking my ass, twice! (avalon and crobar)
6) ferry corsten in october, and ferry in february, making up for a very disappointing pvd performance that same weekend
Top 3 for me in order:
Danny Howells last gig at Arc March 27 - "That mother fucking house music" 
Digweed at Crobar Aug 27 - Honestly didn't think highly of Digweed until this night. One of those nights where I couldn't stop dancing at all.
Gabriel & Dresden/Junkie XL at Mezzanine in San Fran Sept 5 - G&D were ok, but what made is great was the JXL part of the night. I came in not knowing what to expect and got baptized right into the fire. (yeah, I had to shell out $56 for a hotel on top of cover just so I can go and it was worth the money)
Honorable Mention:
Sander K Nov 12 at Crobar
Ferry Oct 23 at Avalon-NYC (I thought this was the best night musically ever for me, BUT it was Avalon-NYC, so I didn't dance until 5:30 AM 
)
1) Tiesto in concert
2) Trance.NU Party - Den Haag Holland
3) PVD @ Summerstage
4) Tiesto @ Space WMC
5) Sasha @ Avalon NYE
6) Last but not least......Deep Dish @ Glow.....First time in ages I got to party with my three best friends.
Sasha @ Womb / Tokyo
Paul van Dyk @ T-Mobile Arena / Prague
Deep Dish @ Space / Miami
Paul van Dyk @ Amnesia / Ibiza

1- PvD- the whole love weekend, especially the fight the power demo.
2- James Holden Citadella Barfly Club/ Budapest
3- Tiesto @ Space WMC
4- James Holden @ Cielo
5- Nick Warren @ Casino/ Berlin. Would have to agree with Michi on that one, it was a really fun nite.
1: PVD @ Summer Stage '04---def the hottest party this year
2: Armin @ The Family, Brisbane Australia---such a sick night-6 hr set in the most intimate club i've ever been to
3: Tiesto @ Summer Stage
4: Armin @ Avalon Boston.... he owned that night
5: Tiesto @ Avalon Boston....first time seeing him
i gotta see ferry corsten, johan gielen and cor finjeman....hopefully next year
PVD @ Summer Stage 04, it was the BOMB!!!!
M.I.K.E. @ Guv
Marco V @ Guv
and thats about it for me...
This was the first year I've really been into the scene and I've seen soooooo many shows. Here's my top 5 for 2004
1. Sander K. @ Crobar
2. Ferry Corsten @ Avalon, NYC
3. AVB @ Crobar (suppose to be summerstage)
4. Sasha @ Avalon, Boston
5. Gabriel & Dresden Avalon, Boston
I'm sure PVD for NYE will top all of these 
Tiesto and PVD in Boston were huge dissapointments but I guess that's what happens when you're capped at 2 hours only. Hopefully Tiesto will rock the house Dec. 7th in Boston. Anyone coming to Boston for this?
1. LABOUR OF LOVE, TORONTO 2004
2. TIESTO @ SPACE, MIA 9-24-04 (TOO MANY MISSED OUT ON THIS - BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE AND TRANCE SET I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HEARD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!)
3. PVD @ SUMMERSTAGE, NYC (NEVER TO HAPPEN AGAIN, F*CKING EPIC..)
4. TIESTO @ SPACE, MIA WMC 2004
5. SANDER KLEINENBERG on the SPACE TERRACE WMC 2004
