Such a wicked night! Massive TAs hanging out for the TA meet-up in the kool haus! Met alot of wicked people, all SOOO nice!! It seems like everyone bashed heads or something similar when leaning in to talk lol! I got an ear in the eye lol!

I was kinda bummed out at the start of the night, my bank was facked and I couldnt get money out at all. Thanks to Eviltree for buying me a bottle of water, and Stringray for helping me out too! I owe you man!

Some TAs were taking hold of the platform in kool haus haha! That was awesome! Everyone was super smiles and lovin it! It was wicked!

I went in guv for abit, to packed, so went back to kool-haus. Then I see this guy near the front singing and was like "woah, this guy knows the words, wait a minute! Thats the actual guy singing!" LOL! grayarea is wicked for the part of it I saw. I then went back to guv.

Ferry corsten played a friggin amazing set! Everyone was into it like crazy! Check the pics! Everyone is super duper happy! Hands in the air all the time, jumping around, singing along to the lyrics hehe! Even near the end there was still alot of people!

A funny part of the night was when a girl came up to me and asked if I had any E, and I said no. Then she said "if you find me some, me and my really hot blonde friend will make out, would ya like that? hehe!". I didnt know what to say so I was like "well alright, if I find some i'll come and get you over where you were" LOL! I didnt know what to say! haha.

Ferry did two encores! The first one, the song came on like 15 seconds after when everyone yelled his name. The second one was different though. The music was off for like 2minutes and the bouncers started to come around and motion people to leave, but everyone started yelling "FEEERRRY! FEEERRRY! FEEERRRY!" and boom, another song started again and the lasers started up haha! WICKED STUFF!!

Awesome night though! Kelly your hair looks awesome! It looked even better outside in the morning with natural light on it! Cam thanks alot again! Eviltree, thanks for the water man! Cale and Karen, its always great partying with you! Cant wait to see the rest of the pics, where i'm sure i'm doing stupid poses lol

See you all next time!

- ferrys been better
- guv was terrible, never been pushed so many times in my life
- shadiest guv crowd I have ever seen - "bottle on head" guy was funny
- carl cox in guv - caused ear damage... ferry was WAY TOO LOUD - one more time and I am retiring from Guvernment events
- WITH all that negativity said...I have never heard a better set form Mark Oliver, he was flawless.

Why is it that Ferry, when in Guvernment has to be in the booth?
Just kills it.

Originally posted by Tracedout I do not post that much and never bother with reviews, but this was such a good night for me I have to post. First off I am no great fan of Guv even thought I seem to go there about once a month, simply because they book some of the best Trance DJ's in the World. Arrived around 1am with my friend Greg, line moved quick, now my friend loves to play with YoYo's and pulled one out to amuse himself in the line, turns out the guy directly behind us in line is a proffesional championship YoYo player, and preceeds to teach my friend some new tricks, what are the odds of that? Coat check was a breeze. Gave my friend a tour of the whole place. Settled into main room ready for Ferry to come on, yes it was crowded but I really found it not that bad compared to Paul Oakenfold last November which was truely insane. Ferry was truely amazing getting off to a great start, around 3:30am switched over to Koolhaus to catch Grayarea, I have a couple of their live sets from http://www.hybridized.org/, and love listening to them, was curious what they would be like live. Wow I was not disappointed, caught the rest of thier set, not crowded at all and made a good break from the main room. Then back to Guv to party to Ferry for the rest of the night, truely amazing, Ferry was just so good! Even the attitude I usually hate from some of the crowd at Guv seemed to be non-existant, met some great new people, very friendly ended up party with them most of the rest of the night. Ferry just kept the energy going all night, never got tired could have dancing until the end but my friend wanted to leave around 6:45am. Spent about 3/4 of an hour trying to exchange contact info with I think his name was Matt, and totally screwed it up because it was so loud. If you happen to be on here and read this, message me here,(I was the guy in Orange shirt you were wiping your glasses on all night with the blue tie) would love to party with you again, you were really cool, and so were your friends. In summary the best night I have ever had at Guvernment, so glad I went.

Right here man.... I can honestly say this is my first post on TA but it will not be the last as I am embarking on a crusade to have my friend's customized Corsten #1 Dutch national soccer jersey returned after it was snatched on Ferry's return toss after he launched it to the booth to be signed ... but that's another thread. But inspite of that this was simply the BEST night I've ever experienced at Guv. All b/c of the friends who were there & the new ones I made.... hat's off to all the TA's out there that came up to me throughout the night introducing themselves for any number of various reasons ... your comradery made the night what it was (well that & that Ferry guy lol... simply unreal... only Underworld live can top that performance) ... but hats off especially to 3 key ppl in particular (but in no particular order to be sure)
Preppychick & your friends - I've been hittin the TO club scene for a few years now & at Guv more times than I can count but talkin to ya at the bar there whilst waiting forever & a day to get a cup of ice & then having you intro me to a bunch of your friends & fellow TA's honestly made me feel more at home in a club than I've ever felt
Tracedout (I'll use the moniker)- loved that orange shirt my good man ... you were throwin out a fantastic vibe which I was feedin off(hence the need to wipe the glasses on your miraculously perma-dry shirt lol)
& the long lost Jonny from MSU ... unreal to catch ya the very next time you made the trek to TO... I shan't be messin up the email this time lol & much thanks for the lift North to home inspite of you & your buddy's 4+hr return leg that still awaited you

You are champions of my night all of you ... & if you're not mentioned here it's simply b/c I can't remember many names that I haven't had to ask for at least a couple times through the night lol...... looking forward to seein all of you again on the floor very soon.
Cheers!!

Hahahah this is my friend Dan, not a t.a... but a cool guy!

I have mixed reviews this time around. Line up was still pretty long when we got there around 12:15, was in line for almost 30 mins. Got into KH and saw the lineups at the bar were too long, so I figured I'd pick some drinks up in the Orange room, on the way to Guv. I stood at an open area at the bar, and the bartender at first totally ignores me and serves other ppl who came after me. Once she finally got around to serving me, i ordered 2 smirnoffs and a corona. She took sooo long to pour the drinks and add up the total, cuz she felt the need to talk to her friends while doing it. Once i paid for the drinks, she left me change. I didnt leave her a tip because she was giving me huge attitude, and was just too slow to deserve one. She notices me taking all my money, and she said DONT COME BACK HERE! And when I asked why, she said cuz I dont tip. Im like, yeah I definitely wouldnt come back anyways cuz ur too slow. I would have thrown my drinks in her face, but I didnt want to be kicked out. That totally started my evening off on the wrong foot, but I decided to put it behind me, because after all, Ferry would cheer me up!

Spent the entire night on the stage in GUV. Once again, WAYY too hot in there!! Even on the stage it was relatively spacious for the most part, and even my legs were sweating! I could only last until 5am, and until that time.. Ferry's set was just OK. Played some good tracks here and there but the rest just seemed like filler. After reading other posts and seeing stuff he played later that night, I regret not sticking it out a lil longer I havent heard Punk in a while, and I know Roger (HIGH ON PSI) wanted to hear Ferry's version of Adagio .

Someone mentioned earlier seeing the guy dancing with the waterbottle on his head.. We saw that too, he also had 2 other waterbottles balancing on his shoulders while he danced at one point! LOL

Overall i would give it an 8/10 .

Dude, I can't wait till the next event with all of you!!! I hope most of you decide to go to DT on May 22 and not the Guv...and thank you for always asking if I'm okay and shit...your caring personality is much appreciated!!!
What made me dance extra crazy? Connecting with you when Ferry dropped "Till There Was You" you remember that SICK moment?
And re: Ferry being the favorite...I think Ferry has elevated himself from demi-god status and now I totally believe in the Trinity...or should Ferry be even higher than AVB??!?! I think after each event I will always find that DJ to be the best!!! I'm such a SELLOUT!!!! LOL!!!
And that picture you highlighted was the BOMB!!!! We had such an awesome time!!!!
