Wow, that's a little harsh...it may not have been your cup of tea (or maybe too early for that type of music?), but to say it was absolute shit (when it was anything but) ain't right.

Originally posted by Mr Moss lol! way to add insult to injury the line was mentally draining too.. by the time we got to security check my head was a mush.. though you do start feeling much better as soon as you take your first steps inside and realize your in for a festive treat.. then you go check the first washroom lineup and its back to being in a mush :/

BeB saw this coming I'm sure. Tickets were moving fast and they had to know that basically everyone was going to show up earlier based on last year's mess. I know I saw on another website that ppl were being urged to show up earlier, this days before the event even. Indeed there was already a lineup at 930PM.

Word gets around fast with technology (ie cell phones) so it got progressively worse and worse after doors opened at 930PM.

Undoubtedly, we will get the same explanation as last year (to loosely paraphrase): "..victims of our own success and everyone showed up early and no one left."

The "everyone showing up early" aspect is plausible for sure. But I personally think the overselling aspect is plausible too.. but BeB will not go there.

This has now happened two years in a row, folks. Some of you paid upwards of $100, booked time off work, booked hotels, and incurred travel costs, only to get screwed again.

Some heads need to roll.

I don't know all of a sudden I just remember the words of Annie Le Bog.

Show up EARLY to avoid disappointment.
Bal en Blanc here we come...

And Now I just have this sudden urge to shoot the promoter.

Pictures now online . . . You know where to find them !!!











^^^ Nice picture of me and my boyfriend :P

Got there around 11:45, saw the huge lineup going the length of the lobby, wow. Good thing for VIP (oh and btw, theres 2 VIP lines, one for will call). We hopped in the will call VIP even though we had our tickets and we were through coatcheck and security by 12.

Infected Mushroom - third time I had seen these guys, 2nd time as their 4 person band instead of 2 person DJ duo. Great show guys, better than when I saw them in Missouri over the summer. Personally I like the DJ duo better, but everyone seemed to love the guitar riffs. 8/10

Ferry Corsten - Of course he is gonna play lots of old classics and epic stuff, he always seems to do that. Chatted with Ferry after his set, what a personable guy he is, more so than Armin. 8.5/10

Armin - Usual Armin stuff. I liked the classics at the end. Too bad the speaker blew, but as I recall, he had a CDJ go wonky on him last year. Guess he never gets lucky with the equipment. This was my 11th time seeing Armin, and probably my last. He doesn't innovate any longer, and frankly his style is getting bland. At one point around 8am, I looked over at him from VIP right as he changed a disc, he looked at me with wavering eyes and his hand was shaking. Never seen Armin look that tired/strung. 7/10

Menno de Jong - Never seen him live, and always wanted to. He definitely didn't let me down. And wow is he tall. 9/10

Offir - Went into the house room for about 20 minutes around the time he played Billy Jean. From behind him in the VIP area, I coulda sworn he was a chick, guess I was wrong heh. Interesting conducting/arm motions. Good to see different DJ dance moves for once hehe. 8/10

There seemed to be a lot less weird stuff going on in the VIP this year than last, I guess thats a good thing. All things considered (minus lineup for non VIPs), I would rate my night as 9/10. I would only give the music an 8, but with a bunch of out of town friends and a great vibe, it gets a 9.

To the people complaining about how loud it is. By yourself some earplugs already. If you continue in this scene without them, you will have permanently damaged your ears (I learned this after Godskitchen Miami 2006). I recommend Earlove/Etymotic plugs, 12-20db of reduced sound across all frequency levels, so you maintain that pure sound, best thing you can get without going custom.

Also good to see you Malek, hard at work and focused as always

Annie's just doing her job and she was actually correct in saying to come early. It starts from the top. Speaking of top, I forgot to say hi to Vicious

If you're open-minded and open to house, I think Black and Blue may be the way to go for Montreal massives.

unless of course she started this show up early thing herself and then it spreaded like brushfire thru facebook, xvi and cell phone calls/texts. Yes, I quoted myself

Black & Blue is the only way to go !! They always stood up to my expectations year after year. And they usually exceed my expectations every year !!

Originally posted by lol internet haha just wanted to say armin's set from like 30mins to 2h, it felt like the whole thing was similar to roadkill (the massive buildup to drop a basic hard beat.) not sure if anyone actually understands what im trying to say here.

actually, me and my friends thought we kept hearing road kill for an hour of the set. SO ture

was just saying my opinion....said the first 20 min, he played really soft and cheesy....usually ferry comes out banging (or every other time i saw him)

he did pick it up towards the end...dont know, maybe IM fucked everything up for everyone, including him
