October 11 was the highlight of a great weekend! After spending an afternoon with my sister and her fiance at a local Oktoberfest party, I was ready for the night! I made it to Cafe Asia before 7 pm, enjoying the fact I wasn't in a frantic rush. After a few minutes hanging out by the entrance and looking for any familiar faces, I saw a guy with short hair and glasses, wearing a PvD Reflections T-shirt. To my surprise, it was Jdat...I expected to see a guy with dreads! Peter and Kimmi showed up at 7:30 pm, and more people streamed in. As always, dinner at Cafe Asia was amazing! After beef panang curry and two Singha beers, it was time for PvD!
Getting to Glow was more challenging than I ever imagined. I was shocked to find such slow-moving traffic in D.C. on a Saturday night...it was worse than usual! I made it to Glow at 10:45, expecting really long lines. The line for PvD ticket holders was handled very efficiently.
I was so pumped up and ready for PvD's set! As it turned out, PvD's set started almost an hour later. In the meantime, I caught up with some peeps from the Glow board after midnight and had one Jaeger. I wasn't in the mood to get wasted...I wanted to last as long as possible. Dan Sampson and Edgar V got the night off to a great start! Unlike the first time I saw Edgar V, I really got into his set! I stayed around close to the DJ booth, so I could see more of PvD this time.
It wasn't till almost 2 when PvD took the decks. Once PvD took over, I felt a surge that made me oblivious to the crowd and the heat! I was screaming my lungs out and jumping like crazy! PvD dropped many of my favorite tracks as of late (Digital Pressure - Aftershock, Nu-NRG - Connective, PvD feat. Second Sun - Crush, Agnelli & Nelson - Holding On To Nothing, Modulation - Spirits) in the beginning...I couldn't have been happier! I kept grinning and saying to myself "I can die now!" Unfortunately, the rush faded when the heat and the crowd became too much for me. No matter how much water I drank, I still felt drained. There were a few more tracks that made me dance (Three Drives - Carrera 2 (Nu Nrg Mix), Katana - Tribal Shock, Tiesto - Traffic)...or at least try to dance. Sometime before 4:30, my body said "No más!" and I had to leave. I felt much better once I started driving home. Damn...I wish I could've stayed till the end!
All in all...PvD's set was tight! As for Insomnia, it was a bit too much for me! Let's hope that PvD's next gig in DC is at a bigger venue!
