ok so after reading carefully through 14 pages of posts there really isnt much to add, but i'l do a short review anyway...

Got to the club at around 11pm and saw the MASSIVE line-up, thinking OH shit we're never getting in. Luckily we met up with some of our friends who were right near the front and got in within 20 mins.

Inside: The club was packed beyond capacity! Im sure there was well over 7000+ ppl in there, but we didnt let that ruin our mood. We chilled in the Drink and d'lux for a bit before hitting the koolhaus. Spent the rest of the night in the Koolhuas and tent/smoking area.

SHOUT OUTS: Everytime i go out to one of these events i always tell myself im going to meet TA's yet i never do. However last night was completly different. i was celebrating my pre-bday party and what an AMAZING night thx to all of you. In particular thanks to VERTIGO who made an effort to introduce me to all the TA's in the Koolhaus dancefloor... Martin, StereoPrincess,Endgame, laura, dan, Cuzo and a bunch of others i dont remember all of ur names but i know ur faces were familiar from NATS bbq. Also big thx to KARIM. ( u saved my night buddy) Just in case your wondering i was the guy with blonde hair about 6ft wearing a pink button shirt and shades.

Music: spent most of the night in the Koolhaus, Blank and Jones were absolutly amazing. Arming was good as usual, i must say i enjoyed his set in march alot more.

Highlight: Armin comes on the decks. Scans the crowd. Im waving my hands up in the air, he points straight at me and says " i remember you" i was like Whaat???!? did he really remember me from Decadence back in april. Also another highlight was when the bouncer let one of my g/f, who was also celebrating her bday, up on stage to dance alongside the go-go girls. We took many pictures and hopefully i will get a chance to post them soon.

THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AMAZING NIGHT and i look forward to partying with you in the future.

well after an INCREDIDBLY rocky start, LOL turned out to be completely worth every single one of the 7.5 hours it took us to get there...
by rocky start i mean the craziness that ensued within the lines to get in. we showed up at about 12ish, and the line was down queen's quay and completely wrapped halfway down the other side of the building. we certainly didn't get anywhere fast, as many of you experienced.
now... i don't have a problem waiting in line. especially when considering that yes, perhaps showing up a bit earlier would have served all of our best interests. however, we were about halfway down the block of the front of the building after waiting god knows how long, when all of a sudden we see the back of the line charging at full force around to the entrance side of the building. we assumed they opened another line somewhere and decided to stay in the one we were in, as it had began to move very rapidly. little did we know they closed the entrance to the guvernment and now the only way to enter was through KH. sOoOo lucky for us, we got to be put at the END of a line we had been waiting for twice as long as the people in the front!!!! now really, wouldn't it have made alot more sense to simply redirect the fucking line from the guv entrance over to the KH one??? as opposed to telling a few people at the very end of that shit to run quick??? i don't think i got in until about 2 30 or so but once i did, i pretty much forgot how pissed off the guv had just made me.
avb was UNQUESTIONABLY the highlight of my night/life... i've seen him before @ spirit in ny, but that set had NOTHING on last night's. he's not just a great dj but an awesome fucking performer!! the energy in that room was unbelievable!
B&J was a good time, wasn't to crazy about what i saw of digweed.
only really met one ta... but i don't remember his name. he did have a black wife beater and sunglasses and gave stellar light shows i think there was an F in the name somewhere lol regardless, all round good people! you rocked man!
my friend that i was with met a tota too during deep dish. she thinks his name was jp??
all in all, yet another trip up top for the books! thanks tdot!!!
oo ya one more bitch, after armin ended, there was absolutely NO entering the guv to see the end of deep dish's set, which apparently carried on for like another hour or two and believe me i was reeeeaaadddddy tooo GOO!!!!!!!!!! that SUCKED!! ahh well, perhaps it was for the better good... checkout of our hotel was 12, so i barely had enough time to get home, sober up and shower before we were on the road. notice how i didn't say sleep... GOOD NIGHT!

LONG LIVE LOL 05'

DIGGERS...B&J DEEP DISH take the sleep part OUT lol...holon did i hear ARMIN= murder STR8 UP!!!!!!!

Arek, u had to be dancing not too far from me- the guy with the stinky armpits was beside me with his gurl and kept pushing me and jumping on people - Fahaad was there too and he tried to tell the dude to juzt chill but he kept jumping and spreading the stinch-uhhhhhhh it was ugly- I left to the back shortly. I just don't get it: shower at home and antiperspirant is that too much to ask???

^^ time for me to go puke just thinking about those smells lol

For some it is, and its sad because all I did was put on some Speed Stick and that was it. Almost 10 hours of sweating and nothing but the absorbed smells of weed and cigarettes

WTF IS WORNG WITH PPL!!!!

Keep yours. Influence theirs.

they should hire people to walk around the club.. and if somebody smells really nasty.. kick them out of the club. The worst thing you could have to ruin a fav. song is to have some smelly bastard beside you.

Id like to add....I agree the special events security were really awesome!

I think KS was set up the way it was for a simple reason. FLOORSPACE. that set up gives you the most amt of square footage and with that many people there im GLAD it was set up like that. decadence set up wouldve made it horrible imo.


I am also wondering if anyone knows who the paul van dyk looking guy was with the ARMADA shirt on?(no not armin) but some dude up there with him from time to time...



Blank and Jones had an amazing set aswell. I dont want my blab review from before to not reflect that.

The classic tunes dropped by all were such a treat.

Got there early, in quickly.
Demi in the Guv 1st. Beats were a little lacking. Never felt the Guv so cold in my life! Had to hit the patio to warm up. Of course that didn't last long after the crowds arrived.

Hit the KH for Markus. Good set- too bad they didn't turn on those lights behind him at all, leaving him in the dark- kinda rude, IMO. OMG his remix of "Open Your Eyes".... shivers & goosebumps.

Grayarea- last time they were here their sound was shit, from 'no soundcheck after arriving late', tho I really liked their style. What was the problem this time? I think people would like them more if it wasn't so distorted. Woulda liked to hear the vocals a bit clearer. This time they ended w/the singer actually SINGING "Gravity" as opposed to just playing the recorded version last time.

Blank & Jones- left when they started, to try & catch a little Diggers. Decided to check him out from the Deluxe Lounge (cuz the Guv was beyond rammed). This is when things get 'cloudy'... kinda out of it. Couldn't really get into it, even w/everyone saying how good it was. Too bad tho- he was amazing in Israel. Wanted to check out DJ Mini in the acid lounge, but the traffic patterns in place woulda required another loop around the entire club to do that, so skipped it.

Back to KH to catch the end of B&J- things still a little 'cloudy'- really dont remember much. By the sounds of all your reviews, I missed the set of the night. I absolutely LOVED them at Guv last time, disappointed w/them at Swirl a few months back, which is why I thought it was 'ok' to leave during their set for a bit. Wish I hadn't. Graham had gotten some pain in his neck/ spine, so he left suddenly at this point.

Armin- again, things seem a little blurry. Good tunes, thought some mixes needed improvement last night (very unusual from him), then left to Skybar for some air. Demi was on here now. Better beats, still not grabbing me tho.
Popped into Orange Room for some breaks for a few mins w/Demonik- played some remix of Sons of Loop da Loop (classic oldie!)

Back to Armin. Graham was messaging me that he was watching it from home, so Dallas & I jumped in front of the camera to wave hello. Bummed I missed Cafe del Mar. Armin was supposed to end at 8, so at 7:50, left to catch a bit of the Dish, since I really haven't stayed to watch them in a long time.

Deep Dish- set of the night for me!! Sick, sick beats, that sucked your mind in. Danced til my legs were about to crumble. Was gonna leave at 9:45, but changed my mind- best decision ever, cuz those last 30 mins were UNBELIEVABLE. 16B- "Escape (Driving to Heaven)" and Deep Dish- "Dreams" feat. Stevie Nicks...

Nice to meet Paula001. Can't believe how many TA's I didn't run into there- holy crap, was it packed! and hot. Big ups to all the TA's that I hung out with, and made my night so special, and brought the human touch to a very 'cattle herd' of an event.
