I didn't really get any sleep so I guess I'll post my review instead.
First of all thank you to Pat and James for putting together this party. This was exactly what the doctor ordered. Pat...you really put your heart into things and it shows. The set up and location was impressive. At first I thought I was going to die from being outside all night (with the occasional venture inside to the two people's homes). I'm sure everyone will look a little hot in all of the pics...hehe. For whatever reason at some point in time the heat finally cooled off for me and I actually started to feel comfortable. Probably had something to do with drinking water instead of Monsters towards the end.  When I started to cool a bit being on the terrace was nice...especially when the sun came up...that was great.  The sun didn't even make it hot. The music and vibe were perfect. It reminded me of old school days of being on top of Simon's when the sun came up.
I had a good time with everyone...seeing people again and meeting new people. It was good seeing Suzy, Brian, Neil, Hope, Jeff, Pat, Art, Harold, Raul, Stan, Phil, Damon, Rachel, Sara, Maciej, etc. It was nice meeting Myles, Lani, Brent, Ben, Amber, James, Dave, etc. I know there was people there that I didn't meet...I didn't know who everyone was. If I didn't meet you it wasn't intentional. To the people that let us have that party on the terrace of their apt building...thank you! Thank you for the hospitality...you guys were fun to hang out with!
Suzy & Brian...I love you guys so much!  I MISS YOU!!! I am so happy that you guys came out. I had a blast hanging out with you...pictures should prove it! hehe! I felt like I was being neglectful to other people at the party, but I never get to see you two anymore.  Suzy...I had so much fun with you...as always. Brian...I never get tired of talking to you. You guys are the best!
Neil...where in the hell did you learn how to massage like that?!  My God what was up with that? People probably thought I was wasted when in fact I was 100% sober. I just can't remember the last time someone touched me like that. Everyone can take that however they want...you weren't the ones on the receiving end.  Neil...once again I loved hanging out with you. You were my buddy for the night! 
Everyone had good sets. Whether you think you did or not is irrelevant! We were there to have fun...not to critique you. Art had a good set. He played Wundervoll...but of course. Phil, Dave, and James all had good sets. Pat you had a good set. You were the first person (after I got there) to play some old school trance. I even took a picture of you at that moment to capture the moment on film. My happiest moment? When Suzy went on of course! I first met Suzy in 1995/1996. Listening to Suzy spin is heaven to my ears and it had been a while since the last time that I heard her. Suzy...make sure to tell Mat Silver how well Ultimate Wave did at our party. Not that he doesn't already know how phat that track is, but for me to have taken the time to look him up says a lot. Here's a link to the song if you guys want to give it a listen: http://www.dancerecords.com/search.php?a=Mat+Silver It's two clips and it doesn't really give it justice...only hearing the song live and in it's entirety would. Anyways...that song is the song that brought everyone out of the apts on the terrace and got everyone in that place up dancing. Jeff went on after Suzy. It was Jeff that played Flesh. You had a really good set Jeff. I enjoyed listening to you. Myles Hie...you did what I had been wanting someone to do all night...play old trance. I knew every song that you spun...it reminded me of when Suzy, Paul, Brian, and I were listening to trance back in the day. For An Angel was such a fitting ending to your set. Everyone yelled (in approval) when you put it on. I don't care if you don't think your mixing was on. You had me up the whole time. It was daylight...the sun was blaring down on us...not a cloud in the sky and your set was just perfect. Everyone was loving it. Suzy came back on to finish it (at the request of one of the guys from the apts) and of course she delivered. It made it so much easier to clean that place listening to phat trance jamming from the speakers. Thank you so much for playing Smith & Pledger - Forever. So beautiful hearing that with the sun coming up. If we wouldn't have been hungry who knows when we would have shut down!
Last people standing...me, Suzy, Brian, Pat, James, Jeff, Hope, Neil (although you left before us). There were also some people that I didn't know. Not only were we standing...we were still jamming out! The sun just reminded us that it was daytime. My understanding is Ginger was the first to pass out. In her defense...it was HOT! 
Me, Suzy, Brian, Jeff, and Hope went to eat at that diner in front of the Holiday Inn. Not that Suzy wasn't already being silly at the party, but woohoo the diner was fun. When it was just me, Suzy and Brian I had to use my menu to reflect water spouts coming from across the table. The table was wet, the seat was wet, my pants were wet. Suzy must have asked the poor lady for quarters 5x's. What part of NO did you not understand? hehe "If I don't hear some music I am going to go crazy!" Frank Sinatra here we come. After Hope and Jeff got there we all ate breakfast. I mean Suzy ATE breakfast. Suzy ate enough food for everyone at our table. Did someone say soup? Oh you mean gravy. hehe  Nice piercing story too...ewww.  "Were you ever on MTV?!" Ladies and gentleman we have a star in the building! 
All in all I had a really good time with all of you guys. I hope everyone had a good time as well. Make sure to tell Pat & James thank you for putting on such a great party!

I'm finally in better enough condition to post more of my review:
Other than the 'other' stuff, I had a great time. As usual I got blasted drunk. I had said before that I'm a total newb when it comes to mixing, so I was a nervous wreck before going on the decks for the first 'set' of the night. 'Set.' I use that word very loosely.  I only got a PM from Patrick TODAY telling me I was to be the first DJ of the night. I was gone from Weston since 6PM Friday night, so there was no possible way I could have known. I was trashed behind the decks. I had like 6 shots of Green Hulk. My playlist was very brief:
David Forbes - Answers (Original)
Elles De Graaf - Circles of Why (Without You)(Robert Gitelman remix)
Rank 1 - Breathing (Original)
I hope you guys enjoyed the songs I played, they're personal favorites of mine.
Patrick, the setup with the lights and everything was PWNAGE. Very well done, my friend. I hope you enjoy the tape I gave you. And remember to give Rachel her tape, which I had reminded her NOT to forget but she did anyway.
Phil: Good to see you again, buddy. Another great set. I don't remember much of it since I trashed. Hope you enjoy the tape, my friend.
Jeff: Holy CRAP what an energetic set. What a TOTALLY welcome shock when you played FLESH, OH YEAH! Hope you enjoy your tape. Good to see you and Hope make it up after all. And congrats to Hope; pulling the greatest upset in FLTA history by outlasting everyone the night!
James: Great set as usual, good to see you and your friends again. Emily and the other girl. (I'm not very good with names sometimes. )
Arturo: WUNDERVOLL!  Hope you didn't get too trashed off of the HQ.
Damon, Harold: Great to see you guys make it to an out-of-town event. Hope to see you for the next one up there.
Ambs: A great pleasure talking to you! Good to see you make it as well, and hope you can make it to Markus Monday night.
Amber: I'm sure you are happier with my behavior this time. You're a real sweetie, and our walk was a mondo coolness. Can't wait to see you for Tiësto next month.
Lani & Morgan: So good to see you 2 again. I hope you can both make it to Tiësto next month as well. Lani.... I wish you could have been there earlier for my 'set,' but some things can't be helped.
Stan: Good to see you again, buddy.
Felipe, Jose and friend: Great to see you make it up tere as well. A great SoFLTA turn out, for sure.
Sara: Finally got to talk to you for more than 5 minutes, a pleasure.  Hope you didn't think I was too out of control when Damon took the camera and I started laughing and spilling water everywhere. 
Brent: Cool hanging with you, dude. I hope we can get to do it again sometimes. I didn't meet your sister, but it's cool.
Suzy and Brian: Great to see you guys make it! Brian, as usual, a true pleasure talking with you, and thanks for the pointers you gave me on DJing, dude. Suzy, you almost killed me with your cake antics, OMFG! QUALITY!
Maciej: Good to see you make it. Better late than never, dude. Lani calls you the 'Dance Machine,' I saw why!
Ben: As always, great to see you, and your stringing was top-notch. I had a great time, and I'm about to put in the video. Can't wait to see THIS....TATV Volume 4....
Oh yeah, I'll post this here:
TATV Volume 4 List
Lani
Patrick
Sara
James
Arturo
Phil
Ben
Stan
Rach
Felipe

Maciej (KOzOK)

Anyone I left off, my apologies. My memory is shotty. Please let me know, I'll copy for anyone. TATV copying by me in strictly NON-PROFIT. Well, anyone outside of TA, THAT'S when I charge. So far that hasn't happened yet. Anyway, I'll post more of my review/thoughts as they come to me, I have a sore throat and my brain feels like mush.
