6 Months In ... Favorite Nights of the Year?
Just curious what everyone's favorite days / nights out this year have been. Doesn't have to be a club night / hanging with anyone from this website.
John Digweed - Crobar
Pride (no, I'm not gay)
Howells - Vision
Zabiela - Soundbar
Fanciulli / Woolford - Spybar
Markus Schulz / Second Sun / Seneca - Vision
Digweed - Crobar
Localized - June 18th - Vision
Fanciulli / Woolford - Spybar
i think the longest ive hung out with ta's was the rooftop bbq...which was probably also the best..
all of bb's events..and the club nights following...
Howells - Vision
Zabiela - Soundbar
Those are also the only nights I've been to Chicago from what I remember.
As for best nights period...
Desyn, Demi, Omid16b (SOS) @ Cafeteria
Sasha, Digweed, Desyn @ WMC yacht party
James Holden @ DEMF / Richie Hawtin @ Masonic Temple
ultimately, my favorite nights this year have been the nights when i ended up hangin' out with TAs outside of the club...
New Years Eve marathon weekend
every single night during WMC when we had afters at our hotel room
the Memorial Day BBQ at Andy's
the nights we spent hanging out on Yuris' back porch
the Castle parties up in Stevens Point
random spin sessions at my apartment
although there were some memorable club nights as well...
Max Graham @ Soundbar
Donald Glaude @ Mantra
Danny Howells @ Vision (even tho i got too drunk and we left early, there were sooooo many TAs there, omg!)
and musically, the best night...
Sasha & Luke Fair @ Glass, Miami
Howells was tops for me. The pre-party at Narcisse got me soooo hammered!
is it ok that most of my favorite nights are really mornings?
1. agave at demf
2. chris leibing at I/O lounge and then pawn shop at wmc
3. new years eve at deadtech
4. trance energy in holland
i think howells was the only time i was out with TA's this year so i guess that's tops on the list.
The party of the year so far for me has to have been Sasha/Fair @ Glass. I think this party gets overshadowed by the boat party for a lot of people, and rightly so as Boat Party = the shit. But honestly, Sasha killed it - One of the best sets I've ever heard from him, and on top of that, the ability to be as close as we were to Sasha and Luke, and to meet Luke was just unreal. Both those guys tore itup, Luke played a PERFECT set to open for Sasha, keeping it real chill for the first hour and then crankin' out the funk before Sasha - And Sasha just ran with it and played one of the darkerst, dirtiest sets I've heard in a long time.
I will never forget what it was like to be standing right behind Sasha looking out at the dancefloor, and seeing it erupt during 16 Bit Lolitas - Destiny... One of the greatest musical moments of my life.
Honorable mentions go to Max Graham and Donald Glaude - Both of those shows were ace as well, and the company made them even better 
BB's debut at Narcisse w/ Johnny Fiasco on 4/29
BB w/ Nigel Richards.
Localized 4, playing at the penthouse
Zabiela - Soundbar
steve bug - smart bar
infusion - at least the 15 minutes that i remember
memorial day BBQ
satoshi tomiie
danny howells
algorhythm breakbeat nights at lava in jan-mar
shows that I'm on the fence about:
max graham - total crack party - i think i had a great time, but man did i feel guilty afterwards
glaude - same deal as graham
i don't really remember what happened from janury through march - if anyone can list the shows in those 3 months at sound-bar and vision - i think i can try to recall stuff. but it was pretty much a crack cruise and a half.

wow, listing your own shows as your top nights of the year. that's hot.
they were the greatest nights to me this year because they were my first shows - it's not really something you can deny. and not something you should condemn me for.
so suck it.
How could I possible forget the Donald Glaude show? Oh wait that's right, I blacked out.

My favorite sets of the year so far:
John Digweed @ Crobar
Derrick Carter @ Smartbar
Nigel Richards @ Narcisse
Infusion @ Vision
Second Sun @ Vision
Danny Howells
Hmmm...due to double fisting, can't remember a lot of sets that I know were good.
Favorite nights: pretty much every night where the crew has been hanging out, though Digweed & Zabiela stand out slightly as the most memorable.
Favorite non-EDM nights: Debut of the Macho Man coat & meeting the Ultimate Warrior
Worst night: hopefully no one remembers last week Thursday
