well, what can i say that hasn't already been said?! this was my second time attending bal en blanc, the first time was two years ago at olympic stadium. and even then, i was impressed with the level of partying that montrealers get up to! 
i arrived at the palais des congress just after midnite, only to see a huge line up down the side of the building. my friends and i had to wait close to two hours to get into the party. the line moved ridiculously slow as there was a problem with the coat check area. so that put a bit of a damper on the mood at the beginning of the nite cuz by the time i got onto the dancefloor, half of armin's set was already over! 
however, despite that little glitch in the nite, everything else was pretty good. i loved the set up of the two rooms all decorated with balloons, and it was wonderful seeing everyone all dressed in white for the occasion. all the partyers were definitely having a blast and everyone was sooo friendly, it was a nice vibe overall.
i enjoyed what i heard of armin's set - he played a lot harder at bal en blanc then he did at decadence in toronto, but it was different than his usual trancey set, so it was good.
i honestly do not remember much of pvd's set, because that time just passed by way too quickly for me! one minute i look up and there his is but the next time i look up he was gone already!! lol .. but from what i do remember of the tracks he played, they were good hard bangin tunes and enjoyable. however, i've seen pvd on better days, so in comparison to his abilities, he was average. [sidenote: for pvd to be the top dj that he is in the world right now, i expect him to be spinning music that blows my mind, but he's just not doing it for me these days and that's a big disappointment for me cuz i know he can do a lot better!!]
so after pvd, my friends and i ventured into the massage area, i had to wait close to an hour for my massage but i have to admit, it was well worth the wait and the money spent!  i felt so relaxed and calm after the massage, i was in pure heaven for 20mins
then we made our way into deep dish and boy, was it packed! wow! i was surprise to see that the room was a lot bigger than the trance room. from what i heard of deep dish, the tunes were rockin. too bad i couldn't totally enjoy the sounds of deep dish because i spent over an hour wandering through the crowds looking for my friend, because i couldn't remember where he was! i never did find him though! haha, just decided to head back home where we met up again!
definitely fun times in montreal!  too bad i never saw or met any of you ta's - probably because you were all in the vip section!  unfortunately i wasn't so lucky! but, all in all, i had a great time in montreal, it was a wonderful weekend getaway for me. thanks montreal!
cheers
