i love to dress in theme for these big raves and no one does it better than kris and michelle so when they suggested we pick characters from alice in wonderland i was on board! michelle was the queen of hearts, kris was the rabbit, julie was the chesire cat and i was alice, yes, i know i don't have blonde hair but whatever.
we get there around 6ish and walk around and check out the sights. not as many people dressed up as they did for EDC but those that did were fun. blank and jones gets on right at 7 and we get up front to dance. i loved their set!!!! the room filled up quickly and the crowd seemed to really dig their set. at the end of their set they came to the edge of the stage to shake fans hands and such and it was way cool to see them get really excited to see eric there and they hugged him and smiled real big. it is great to see djs be excited to see their biggest fans and to greet them that way is incredible. i really do enjoy dj's sets at these raves b/c they don't hold back and just bang it out for the hour and a half they have.
then eddie gets on the decks and of course he kills it so much energy and all that crazy tweaking and whatever else he does just makes for a spectacular show. we are all drenched with sweat by now but can't stop dancing. at the end of eddie's set he decides to stage dive into the crowd!!! pretty f-ing cool but then again, not too smart b/c he was relying on a crowd full of crackheads to keep him afloat. but with no incidents he made it back to the stage. then hernan gets on and i have never seen him before and i really dug his set! i know it seemed out of place for some people but i thought nocturnal's line up was way smoother in transitions than EDC. atleast you didn't have the major energy djs leading into low energy ones.
anyways....... then the 15 minute change over and it's time to walk around. michelle, kris and i ride the slide which was way fun. met all kinds of crazy fun people. loved partying with henry and mo_n_japan! man mo your energy is crazy. he never stopped when i saw him and henry was having a blast. very cool to meet kimchi and of course all the other TA's that were there.
then RITM gets on and the crowd was just way too packed and it's getting hot, so kaine and i go to the side stage they had for vip and watch from there. pretty cool to watch bunny change into all his different outfits behind the stage. man, i don't know how he did it with the heat and those heavy outfits. i asked him about it afterwards and he was like, it was way hot but he loved the crowds reactions. they definitely put on a crazy live show with tons of great visuals.
christopher lawrence was on after that and of course this is where he shines, at raves and he just laid it down. there was one track around an hour in that if i had my eyes closed i would have sworn jOOf was on the decks! but the last 4-5 tracks he kinda held back or something, but he was still great.
IM was crazy and loud and fast and insane just like EDC but so was their track selection. i recognized the first hour right away so after that michelle and i decided to get some fresh air and walk around. by this time my feet hurt so bad i wanted to cry. my buzz had worn off so i was in major pain. i can't seem to learn my lesson, i always tend to put fashion over comfort but i think this time i have learned my lesson. i wore platform high heel mary janes and they totally matched my alice outfit and were pretty comfortable until about 2 am and then the pain set in. i literally have bruises on the balls of my feet and my right pinky toe is cut to hell and back. i have been walking on the sides of my feet for 2 days now and not wearing shoes. i dont' know what i'm gonna do when i go back to work tomorrow.
so all in all i had a very fun evening. i go in to these raves knowing what they are, i try to stay away from the e-puddles and try not to get upset when i see 14 year olds cracked out. i enjoy the vibe from so many of the people and see things you normally don't see at clubs. it gives me a chance to see many djs in one night and since my attention span is pretty short it's perfect for me that each set is only an hour and a half. the energy is always high and i always meet interesting people. and dressing up is always fun, everything is funner in costume!
thank you so much kris for hosting us this weekend, you're awsome and kaine totally hooked us up!!!!! so much thanks to him. miss him so much. partying with michelle, kris, julie, ben, thrax, eric, riia and so many more of the TA's is always a great part of my experience. nice to finally meet the quiz and happy birthday to you! also so great to see fei-fei there! it always amazes me how many people you just randomly run into with that many people there! i'm sure i'm forgetting some people but i can't seem to remember at the moment. finally rested thanks to having monday off. good times, good times!
my only real rant was the nasty guy who's dick was hard and rubbing it all over my ass. i actully turned around and said to him "Get your dick off of me!" he just looked at me like he didn't know what i was talking about and then proceeded to do it again!!!!!!! i had to push him off of me and then i finally had enough and moved all together b/c he wasn't going anywhere.
