Had a great time. Good scene with it being a special event.
Got down there just after 10 PM. Had to wait in the general admission line with our presale vouchers - it looked like a lot of people did presale. The line went kind of slow, which was annoying when you knew there weren't many people inside. That was one of the things my buddy says he hates about On Broadway - they let you in slow because they want there to be a big line outside so people will notice and think something's going on.
When we got in it was maybe half-full, so we walked around and checked out all the rooms that weren't being used. Cool place but I can see how it would suck if it was really crowded. My same friend said it's taken him 20 minutes to get down the stairs before, so he was stoked about the size of the crowd. It turned out to be just right. Once everyone was in, the smallish dance floor was jammed but once you got off the floor, there was lots of room to get around and get your drinks fast, and plenty of places to sit down if you wanted to take a break.
As someone else mentioned, Armin came on kind of early, maybe around 11:15?
Loved the Shiver remix, he also played some U2 -Where the Streets Have no Name and Police- Message in a Bottle. He played Zocalo early on, and at least one other Shiver track, and umm, I dunno, my memory isn't so good.
The crowd was there for Armin for sure, a huge percentage of the people knew the music and the words. I saw a few boyfriends in the back that were bummin' their girls out by not wanting to do anything but sit like a slug. lol
The giant video wall was kind of cool, but there was a giant sub in there that just destroyed you if you got too close to it. I found myself also trying to find spots on the dance floor where you could hear the song itself.
They turned the lights up around 1:35 and shut the music down around 1:45 AM.
I recognized Sweetcandy but never got a chance to say hi. Didn't know what the rest of you all looked like... so so much for that. I probably bumped into a half dozen of you. 
Question related to earlier comment. There were 2 go go dancers, but one clearly stood out from the other as not only an incredibly great dancer, but truly seemed to be really loving the event, not just "doing a job." Was that Desiree? Her energy level was so off the chart she was really fun to watch!
As far as work, well, was in bright and early. I'm doing surprisingly well. I think I've been conditioned by my kids to get by without much sleep.
