Well, you've seen ~FAIRY~, now you'll just have to guess who it was... 
Anyways, I really don't want to review a bad party.. Destiny probably tried to make it great, but again due to "unforseen circumstances" they weren't completely successfull.
I'll write my review anyways, cause I feel I need to say it.
As soon as I enter the club, I find out that neither Pulser nor Andy Cleeton are able to make it. I realise that it's probably not Destiny's fault, but some kind of offer for a free party in a future would sure be nice. Well, there was none of that. Sure the line-up was great bla bla bla.. But I didn't pay $32 to see OS2/Dr. Trance/Dekoze, cause I can pretty much catch them for $10 TOPS ! Actually, it was way more than $32, cause I had to travel all the way from Waterloo and back for that party.
Next thing I find out is that last shuttle bus leaves Viva at 6:30(instead of 7:30 as it was mentioned on the website). The announcement of that was made in the tent, but for some reason not in the main room. Luckily, thanks to Nikish I find out at 6:20 that the last bus leaves in 10 minutes. 20 minutes later, after slow coat check line, we see that the bus is still there(only cause it wasn't full yet) If I missed that bus, I'd probably have to pay another $15-20 to get to the subway station.
All in all, it was a pretty shitty party, though I did manage to have a good time for a couple of hours(thanks to sets by OS/2, a few tracks by Dekoze and whatever I heard of Dr. Trance).
SO yeah.. there you go.

Ravers... Gone... Wild... Something about the name just didn't quite match up with what went down last night. I must say that I didn't have too bad a time because I refused to allow myself to have a bad time. It was my first time experiencing some live D'n'B, jungle and breaks - all of which I thought were really cool. The TA massive was lacking, (and you don't know how much of a big difference it makes until it's gone missing), but I did get to meet a bunch of nice non-TA's. The music was okay, and I was still able to dance like a mofo.
The line-up outside was rather pathetic, to be honest. And people being let in ahead of others because they wanted to record something on their mp3 players? Wtf?! Damnit, cell phones can be used to record stuff, as dEsidEL said. Pfft.
I was really looking forward to seeing Ed Rush & Optical spin, but we didn't even catch an hour of their set. Then the whole thing with Pulsar and Andy Cleeton not being able to make it down. Poor guys. I'm sure they must've really actually wanted to be there, but whatevs. I honestly can't remember all of which DJs' sets I managed to catch, but all in all, it was a unique musical experience.
Although I wasn't there for NYE, the fact that it wasn't as packed as I heard it was then was a relief. The number of people in the rooms would fluctuate from time to time, depending on who was spinning in what room. For the majority of the night, however, especially with the unfortunate absence of Pulsar and Ed Rush & Optical, it seemed to me that it was always most "happening" in the tent where a lot of Jungle and such was being spun. I'm not a senior citizen myself, but I too noticed that the crowd was rather young - obviously due to the whole march break factor.
dEsidEL - Em, I know it wasn't quite your bag, but you were still cool enough about it not to worsen the already 'akward' mood. Thanks for your help with the night overall. 
Durafei - It was nice seeing you again.
GT_Trance - It was cool meeting you.
Tordan - It was cool meeting you too. 
Did I hate the night? No, I did not. Would I relive it? No, I would not. In all honesty, the $40 price tag wasn't fair. I'm sure there was a lot of hard work put into this by the Destiny crew, and that shouldn't go un-noticed. However, my first impression of the famous 'Destiny Parties' certainly isn't what I expected. On the other hand, I have yet to be dissapointed by a Temporal Rhythm event. Those are just some thoughts of mine.
None the less, props to all the DJ's who spun last night. You guys did a good job, I'm not bashing anyone.
