last night i got to go and pick up armin van buuren from the airport for his show here in calgary.!!! what an experience. he is totally chillin, and speaks excelent english. me and sweds00 were a little nervous as we've never done anything like this before, but that lasted about a whole minute after we met him. he's very talkative, and asked alot of questions about calgary, although he knew so much already (like housing costs, and weird shit like that). anyways he's funny, and has a good sense of humour, not dull at all, his girlfriend is really nice too. the best part was that after we'd checked him into the hotel he asks us what we're doing tomorrow, so i said 'not much' and he's like "well give me your phone number and i'll call you tomorrow and maybe you can show us around town" so now armins got my cell number in his phone and is gonna call me up later today and we're gonna go out to the mountains, or tour the city and go shopping or something . totally unexpected, i so wish i had of done this for our ferry and tiesto shows, but oh well it's not like i'm complaining i'll have some cool pics to put up in a bit. fuck how good of a day am i going to have.

whoa... that is crazy!!!!
it's cool to know that djs are so open to their fans like that...
, how'd u get the chance to actually pick up Armin from the airport anyway? i mean, do you personally know him and he asked u or something? or do you work for an airport pickup service?? or are u just plain stalking him???

WOW!! thats nuts man. Hope you had a great time chillin with Armin. I Got to talk to Ferry for a couple of mins when he was here in NYC. He's also a REALLY cool guy.
he is totally chillin, and speaks excelent english. me and sweds00 were a little nervous as we've never done anything like this before, but that lasted about a whole minute after we met him. he's very talkative, and asked alot of questions about calgary, although he knew so much already (like housing costs, and weird shit like that). anyways he's funny, and has a good sense of humour, not dull at all, his girlfriend is really nice too. the best part was that after we'd checked him into the hotel he asks us what we're doing tomorrow, so i said 'not much' and he's like "well give me your phone number and i'll call you tomorrow and maybe you can show us around town" so now armins got my cell number in his phone and is gonna call me up later today and we're gonna go out to the mountains, or tour the city and go shopping or something
