Anne Savage @ Cave...
First off, I want to say that this show was MASSIVELY overcharged. I got my tick for $27, and considering what I heard when I was there...way too much. $12 or $15 would have been a much more reasonable price, sheesh 
I've never been to the Plaza of Nations or the Cave, so I wandered around GM Place for like half an hour trying to find it, finally figured it out and got into the club around 11:30...I could tell even before I went in that Azim and Tazix were spinning because while I was waiting in line, I heard Andain - Beautiful Things being played, followed immediately by some cheesy pumpin' hardhouse junk...I swear, those guys need to have some kind of turntable restraining order slapped on them  (more to come).
(On a side note, I picked up a flyer for Twisted '04 while I was there...turns out Azim is coming out with a DJ compilation CD soon, called Twisted. I can't believe he's getting this kind of recognition, considering that his set was full of spectacular trainwreck flambés and the usual array of cheesy crap...Azim, if you ever read this, I think you're an awesome promoter, you definitely know how to throw a party, but I think you need to leave the DJing to other people!)
I was reasonably impressed with the Cave...big place, nice big soundsystem, lights weren't really that good  It felt a bit sketchy at first, but relaxed as the club filled up...crowd was very energetic. I saw lots of dancing in there the likes of which I ain't never seen...the Cave's crowd really gives my psychotic style a run for its money...heh. 
Anne came on around midnight, really got the crowd going. I thought the tracks she was playing were a bit cheesy, so I was more standing against the wall nodding my head than dancing (that and my entire side was aching like a bitch, probably because of Viva last night). But she played with energy, the crowd was really feeling it, and her mixing was waaaaaaay better than Azim's, thank god. I didn't dance much cause eventually her style started to feel really, really repetitive...not many breakdowns or much melodic variety...she played a couple of wicked dark trancers but mostly it was pure UK hardhouse.
I left around 2 cause I was starting to feel really sick and exhuasted, and like I said the music was really starting to bore me (I was probably just too tired to really get into it)...I wish I could have stayed longer but I need to sleep this weekend off =P So all in all, it was a pretty good party, not really my music style but still a fun time...if tickets were $10 cheaper I would probably go again (and make sure to arrive after Azim and Tazix get off the decks  )
