I was just looking at my external hard drive and found lots of old pics from when I first started partying, as well as first started meeting TAs. Some awesome pictures haha.

I'm looking at these well I'm listening to Trance, which I haven't done in like over 2 years. I started partying and getting into stuff in like 2003, but I know other people got into stuff way earlier than me. I listened to the music since like 1998 though.

I got into this as a person that didn't party in highschool at all, didn't drink, was super shy, and stayed in all the time. I turned 19, and that's actually when I first started drinking ever. My friend Rob dragged me out of the house to come to some house parties because I wouldn't come, and gave me some drinks lol.

My friend Rob forced me to go to my first club, which I didn't want to go to because I was too scared to go "I don't know how to dance!" (not that I know now lol) and was super shy at the time haha. Little did I know what it would lead to, and how much I would love it, actually getting on the floor by myself and busting a move all night LOL.

I'm only 25, which I know, blah blah blah isn't old, but I swear yesterday I was friggin 19 haha, and started all this. So much time has gone by so fast it seems, but so many amazing times and memories. I'm sure we've all changed so much since we first started partying, I know I have, BIG TIME! Mr. super shy isn't so super shy anymore, and Mr. didn't want to dance because he didn't know how, doesn't give a crap anymore and will dance how he wants LOL. I've had some crazy danceoffs with some hardcore dancers, Kelly (Dance2DaBeat), Nada (iLLnaDa), and Jay (KEFKKA) are the top 3.

I've met some awesome people, and lots that I'm actually friends with outside of club stuff. So many great people that I wouldn't have met if it wasn't for the scene. Cottage and house parties (Nada! :P), club stuff, and just hanging out times.

Big thanks to several people. Kelly (Dance2dabeat), you got me into house music, as well as made me more open and took that shyness factor I had and made me chuck it out the window lol. I friggin love you and always will.

Also big thanks to Rob. I would have never gotten into this if it wasn't for you. I would have never met the people I met, like Kelly, and would have never gotten out there to see and do the things I've done. I've known you since grade 8 (as I tell many people haha), and I can honestly say, you've helped me become the person I am today. Straight up!

I'm still young I know, I look it still that's for sure lol, but the time has just flown by! Totally fast.

I'm sure other people have some pictures of them when they first started partying, so lets see them!



















LOL!!!!!!!! Dressed all facked up gino when I was 19 haha






Hahaha! I used to glowstick??



Totally soaked from going nuts

hahahah, i remember my first party was with you and cam. You told me everything about the guv/koolhaus, and showed me around, Chris Lawrence was playing, it was G2 on canada day. What a great time !

The first time I went partying was to see Armin and Junkie XL in April of 2004. Dan and Rob dragged me out. That was still awesome. The best part was partying with those ridiculous girls in the parking lot for an hour after we got out, remember that Dan? Hahhahaha.

Also fuckin LOl at my Medium Pimpin shirt. I'm sure a few of you have seen the remnants of that by now.

For trance, PvD in 2001...Warehouse...WOW. FUCK...WOW. I skipped out on Tiesto at the Docks for Wintergalactic for it and it changed my life...hell that entire year did. I went from that to Mauro Picotto at the Victoria Day party at Guv complex that year. Aphrodite and DMC championship that year. IT WAS NUTS!

Then I saw at the Guv "5 year" Tiesto at the new "Koolhaus" KILL it, I have a pretty decent quality vid of it someone took too!

Then THREE DAYS after PvD IN the Guv main room (Wed october...) in which he dropped For an Angel as an encore, but also played essentially what was known at the time (later on) as his tour/tracklist for Politics of Dancing (the first one). I was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fan of his Gatecrasher Summer soundsystem set...then wow, completely being overwhelmed and having no idea how to react when similar stuff is being played live in front of you, just made me NEVER miss a set of his when he is here. (except those that are out of my control). Then once the first year or so got the ball rolling, AvB 10 times, Ferry 6 times, etc etc. C'est la vie...

I had never been to a club in my life, let along an edm event. Barry dragged me out, and I am glad he did.






I think there was already a thread about your first review, so I'm not going to get into it. It was definitely an awesome night though.

my first EDM party was back in 1993 in some small club in Thunder Bay....I remember leaving the party at 1:00 am and my friends telling me the party isn't over yet....we ended up going to an old barn outside of town where about 300 people were keeping the party going until everyone dropped....I think we left somewhere around 9 am as I had class at 10.
