So last night wa full fo firsts for me as this was my first time @ TiL. The club itself is very nice and well decorated and the staff VERY friendly.
Now as for the show itself....I was one the unfortunate people to try and watch the show from the front of the dancefloor. There were some people there that were super friendly and then there were some people that just didnt seem to care for the crowd and started pushing...women included. When Moby was finished the space was cleared up very quickly.
As for the Moby set itself: in all honesty I would say it was nice to hear drop some well known tunes, Go, Porcelain, Underworld - Born Slippy, Inner City - Good Life, and Where's Your Head At. The one thing the 1.5 hour set did not have though was some form of consistancy. All in all I would give the night a 6/10. Always a good time with Invasionmix, Alino, Stephan and Sarah.
P.S. Highlight of the night was Stephan pissing on the Gardiner in the middle of a traffic jam / blizzard.

Left early. The crowd was just ridiculous.
Who ever played before moby, did a pretty good job playing lots of hits, and floor fillers. Fun, and light.

Been there LOL. Way too many beers, and for me it was 401 westbound no traffic thankfully and midnight.

Moby's set was ok. I found it to be fairly inconsistent. A lot of the material was off that mix posted in the roll call too (including some dodgy mixes).
But what the hell... I got to see Moby spin live
Nice meeting Vince and Ben. See you all at guv or zone down the line..
yup, they opened and closed. jimmy even threw down a few tracks at the end of the night.

Yeah he finally got on around 1am and was finished by no later than 2:30. But M&S really did save the night. They dropped some good tunage after Moby got off the deck. IMO M&S over Moby......(I will probibly get torn apart for this comment) lol

First time at TiL and it's beautiful. Although I don't think it's a place I would return to on a normal night (unless it was to party in the bathroom... WOW). For most part the staff was very nice, and even the angry security guard at the front of the DJ both ended up taking a pretty decent picture of Moby for me
The crowd was so pushy that my two friends left early, but found myself surrounded by some die-hard Moby fans.
I was upset that his set was so short and I agree with everyone else, his set was pretty inconsistant BUT each track he dropped seemed to be better than the last. It was a blast. Moby seemed to really enjoy himself as well, he was constantly smiling and laughing and seemed to really enjoy the crowd.
M&S did a great job warming up the crowd before Moby and dropped some serious tunes afterwards. It was hard for me to leave (at about 3:30) but I was so tired. They definately deserve two thumbs up.
