okay, i'm alive and well after finally getting some sleep from the longest 48 hours of my life. my night started out with xtracktor picking me up, thanks again btw, and off we went. got there around 8:20 and went straight to vip line and met up with kris, michelle and mike (girls very hot outfits!). got in and went to the meet up, finally got to meet orbital, very cool, and then off we went to the house room to see nic fanciulli and OMG, he was so much fun and the complete highlight of the night for me. the tas made their way up front of course and that is where i stayed until the end of nic's set. i didn't think i had any dancing left in me after dancing all night/morning to victor's amazing set in san diego but nic wasted no time getting the groove right out of me! i know no tracks but i know what i like and nic i likey likey. MNS is going to be unbelievable! the rest of the tas made their way over to get set for markus' set and i was planning on making my way over right after nic's set but then robbie rivera came on & the house room just had a hold of me and wouldn't let me go! is it possible that i may be turning into a house junkie? i stayed for almost all of robbie's set, very good and funky, and then rushed back over to the main room to have just missed markus' set, damnit! still have yet to see more than 20 minutes of his set. another time, another time.
meet back up with more tas, run into swedish egil, very chill guy, and tons of other people randomly, funny how you see so many people you know in a crowd of 1,000s like that. we walk around some to take in the e-puddles (not nearly as many as nocturnal) and so many great costumes. i have to say that my MM experience was much better than nocturnal. i'm not big into massives but this one was pretty good. there were young kids there but i felt there was a much more diverse crowd than nocturnal. i didn't have the same bad experiences as some of the other's did with the crowd, just about everyone i came into contact with was awsome, i mean people were actually saying excuse me and sorry as you moved through the crowd. i guess i got lucky. kris and i had several picture opportunities with random guys asking for our pics with them. i guess that's what happens when you hang around a "sexy devil" like that!
then it was off to secure our places for deep dish, upstairs in the balcony, great idea whose ever that was, and there we stayed until the end. first time ever seeing deep dish and i was not disappointed. overall very great, danceable tracks and some very funky beats. yes the sound was not great in the big room but oh well. then marco v comes on and i was the most excited to see him since i had seen him over the summer at avalon and loved his set then. he comes on and throws down in his usual manner but his set was not as good, i thought, as it was the first time i saw him. still good but i began to lose steam and during marco's set i actually sat down, gasp! i know, i'm usually the last one dancing but man 2 straight days of hard core dancing and even harder core partying has taken it's toll.
all in all not a bad night. sorry others didn't have that great of a time, i felt positive energy everywhere and enjoyed meeting some new ta's. sorry for not remembering many of the names but some were orbital(loved talking to you at bob's), xtracktor, and the guys from blue surface. and of course i had a blast with the usual suspects! thanks bob for hosting yet another after after hours( sorry i couldn't be more lively with my dance moves, just way too spent) and mike for spinning, u rock! i enjoyed my night emensly and glad i went. now it's off to rest up some more for tonights venture at the MOR.

Monster Massive Review
MM Review
I'm sure he was pretty good too. Friends of mine thought the night was disappointing overall so they left early as well. We even hit different rooms (jungle, house, etc.) to see if the music would be any better, but it was overall still not our cup of tea. Maybe it was just our tastes and preferences, but it seemed like the last couple years were overall better than this year.
) we walked around for a while, very confused what room was what, and what the time slots for everyone was. I must say, the DNB room and House room were SMALL compared to the main room. the system sucked outside in the DNB room, and the house room was ok. spent a few minutes listening to Behrouz, got a txt message, met up with my group again. we were outside in the house room just hanging out. we switched for a bit, heard some more of Behrouz and walked out to get a beer. Lost track of time, and listened to Robbie Rivera's set, missed Markus 
so we ended up going to the DNB room and listening to Shimon and Sub focus (10:30-1:45). gotta say i was dancing my ass off the whole time, after sub focus got off, we ended up sitting in the bleachers and heard Deep Dish. jeebus christ the floor was vibrating, i felt there was too much bass, not enough mids and highs. 
chilled up in the bleachers half way thru Marco V's set, left to meet a few friends outside in the House Room, and ended up going to the DNB room again for the last 20 minutes.
