So I turned around and headed home... Just got back from having my car towed to the shop.... Sounds like everyone had a great time as I planned!!! Hopefully it's nothing serious with my car.... Maybe it just needs blinker fluid... lol.... I'll be in DC 11/15.... Dinner before the show looks good.... I'm glad you all made it... Sorry I didn't get to meet you!

sorry to hear that like you say...hopefully nothing to serious. those expenses suck!

it may have been but whether we'll get our hands on it, I doubt it.

It was an amazing night, for some reason the first half felt more like a concert, in that i was chilling most of the time, but then it picked up and i started raving out.
For me, KT did a great job at the end of his set by playing Solar Stone vs Sirocco - Destination
PVD - Connected (moto mix)
and earlier when he played BT - Somanbulist (sander remix)
As for Armin he was awsome...
I know he played
Mind one - Only memories
Roland Klinkenberg - Monday Groove (one of the tracks that he held for days and let it build up forever)
Nathan Fake - Outhouse (a real eerie dark tune, sweet though)
Massive Lust - Never (original mix)

I wanto to say he playted these but i am unsure...
JS Ten - Eternal (Euphonic Mix)
Masters & Nickson feat Justine Suissa - 5th Dimension (C-Quence Remix)
Matt Hardwick presents Smith & Pledger - Day One (Above & Beyond Remix) (Im pretty sure he played this but not positive)
Euphonic - Asia

And finally he probably did not play Delerium feat Nerina Pallot - Truly (Signum Remix) but he may have.
Whatever the case, the night was sick, best show ive seen in Ann Arbor by far. I had a blast.

Are you his secret girlfriend?

Just wanted to check in and say that I had a FUCKING AMAZING time last night! It was great to meet some of you guys--ravenstar, DJ_Bod, DetroitRockCity, biznology, saghen, Trance(PL)--in real life so that I can now assign faces to the names I see on the forums. Unfortunately I didn't make it out to the patio at 10:30 because a) I'm a mong and left my watch at home and b) I still don't know my way around Necto so I would never have found the patio. Ah well, I'll probably meet a lot more of y'all at upcoming events. For example, anyone want to hook me up with a ride up to Toronto for Armin/PvD/Deep Dish on Columbus Day weekend?

add to tracklist:

Dirt Devils - Music is life (jono grant & pos remix)

Just wanted to say it was a great show, and I am glad it was not so crowded..

Meet and Greet was killer!!!

Great meeting some new TAers!!!

We almost had it at our after party but his manager said no cause he had to be out early for the Miami show....oh well...

Ok. I had a great time on Thursday. It was nice to finally meet some TAs in person, although I've seen several of you at other shows not realizing you were TAs. Only caught a little bit of Kenny's set, would have liked to have heard more of it, but was at the meet and greet.

I dunno, it took me about 15 minutes of Armin's set to get me into the mood, but after that, I was full on for the rest of the night. Last time I saw Armin was at Labour of Love 2002. It seems to be that Armin is playing harder than he used to play. For those that have seen him recently, has this been a progression for awhile or is it recent?

Overall, it was a great night, although it took a couple days to recover.

add
firewall - sincere (pulser remix) <--- this song destroyed the dance floor, the break in this track is amazing
three drives - signs of the universe

Never really got around to writing a review so here goes. My first time seeing Armin and he was definately on this night! His tracklist was not quite what I had expected, there were a few songs I wish i could have heard because I know only armin would be playing them. There were a few rough mixes, but plenty phenominal ones. He dropped some MAJOR TUNAGE with songs like cern-the message, firewall-sincere(pulser remix), and basic dawn-pure thrust(nu nrg remix) - these songs just destroyed the dance floor.. then he sealed the deal by dropping half of the greatest trance tracks of all time: seven cities, communication, airwave(breathing), binary finary... and even some decade old tunage.. jens-loops n tings(new marco v remix)

It was great hearing some songs that I thought I would never ever hear in a club, but it wasnt what I was looking for from Armin. However, the set was so amazing that by the end it didnt even matter what tracks he laid down. Necto's bass is also a little fucked up (it was too high and didnt make a clean sound), hopefully they'll be fixing this soon. I was lookin for a set with a little more flow and an epic ending (would have been, his first song in his encore was boomerang, obviously to set up for one last epic track, but bryan had to cut him off)... but of course there is always next weekend at the GUV!!
