First off I want to thank you all for coming out to celebrate the TA 5 year. It worked out even better than I expected and having the opportunity to use the Liberation Lounge as the 19+ TA room was too good to pass up! It was definitely a night full of surprises..
DJs:
Sean Crawford - Killer opening set...you set the mood for the night!
Schryer - Keep going with that sound we talked about, we need more of it 
Gamma - This is only the 2nd time I've heard you spin but you're confident back there and it showed in your set, awesome tracklist
Dennis Hahn - Sick energy...It's not easy to play the time slot up against Matt Hardwick but the room was jumpin to your beats as well
Stilez - I'm glad you went hard! I had 2 people ask me who you were and if you had any demo CDs.. They were impressed!
(Disclaimer: possible sappiness below)
I'll keep this short, when I started TA 5 years ago it was for no other reason than to provide downloads that were easily accesible (no forced registrations/passwords/etc.) - eventually as things grew so did the forum. I'm very proud of the fact that the community has come to encompass like-minded party ppl who just want to go out, dance and have a good time - which is what drew me to 'raves' years ago in the first place (Thank you Destiny). Also, the fact that many of you have made new friends, networked with aspiring DJs/producers, or just found out of a killer track through TA just reinforces to me that the stresses of the early years (MP3s/legal headaches/server issues, etc.) were all worth it.
Shout outs:
Natalie - THANK YOU for the cake! It really sucked missing that first 'surprise' TA cake (in 2003) - but - it was made up for this time around! It was a little bit surreal when I saw the cake, just cuz, I never expected that - much less inside a club with music blasting... After my temporary 'trance' was over I realized I should probably blow out the candles (duh) - Thanks for saving the candle 
techead - The setup in the Liberation Lounge was great - thanks for everything and for helping arrange the whole cake thing, glad I can finally put a face to the name.
Ampz,Matt,Mike,Marg,Jenna - Representin' in TA gear - w00t
