Oh Okay....can this chick add her story in?
Then I'll go get the pics and video, I promise.
I'm hanging with the boys upstairs...Armin passes right behind us and all of us almost peed in our pants....or maybe that was me?
I was tearing up, finally....finally get to see him in person. I've waited so long to thank him for his contribution to trance music and how he has enhanced and empowered peoples lives all over the world. I had to tell them this so I could rest well.
He's playing, and I'm singing my heart out. I wanted so badly for him to hear me from the railing up above him. It was emotional, and some songs I would get choked up on from the emotions and the atmosphere that everyone was feeling around me. I never felt so much love in the air in my life!
I think Armin was only into the second song when one of the speakers blew up and there was a fire. It was awesome, everyone was cheering that Armin was tearing shit up. They eventually replaced the speaker, but it sure was fun to see.
I was so scared to go down to the floor. Due to the fact that I have fallen on the floor, was trampled and stomped on last year. It's been a big fear of mine for really packed crowds ever since. But if it was the only way I could, I would have to try and meet him. I had some guys help me push our way through the crowd. We got up to the front finally, where there was this girl that would not move if her life depended on it.
I told her that Armin knew of me and he wanted to see my Angel tattoo when he came to Dallas. I just needed to show it to him, say hi, and then I'll leave and go back upstairs...and she could have her spot back. You could tell she didn't know anything about Armin or who he was..she was just there taking up my space and breathing all the Armin fans' air. Another girl that I met up at the front of the stage was a huge Armin fan too. And I'm ashamed of this now, but that night, we were practically torturing the bitch that was in front of us. And the other girl started spitting in her hair. LOL....well maybe I feel ashamed for laughing about it, but felt she deserved it. She would yell back at us, "I AM NOT MOVING!" and the other girl would call her a bitch and she would say "I DON't CARE!"
And I'm not usually a mean person, but damn, wanted to slap her. I had a rose with me and I was able to reach it up to the top of the railing. And Armin grabbed it and proped it up for the whole club to see. He played the rest of the night with the rose there. I was miserable there on the floor trying to get his attention. Yal know that spikey headed guy that was hanging with Armin all night? Well I tried to get his attention and I showed him my tat. He just shook his head at me and said No. And the bouncer kept trying to push me back down. Stop man-handling me....I'm a chick, dude! lol
So then Armin looked down for a second and I could tell he recognized me and thought I looked familiar from the pics. (Dave Dresden sent Armin my myspace link a while ago) And then the music died down at the perfect time as he looked at me and I yelled, "I'm YOUR TATTOO GIRL!"
His face lit up and he said, "REALLY!!!???" and he motioned for me to come up immediately. Of course, the bouncer still wouldn't let me. So Armin had to tell spikey headed dude to come down and get me. In which I stuck my toungue out at Mr. Spike and told him "I told you so." LOL
I gave him a moment to change songs and I got to watch him work from upclose. Damn magic hands! Once he was situated, he came by and said Hi and wanted to see the tat. It was on my back and I handed him a sharpie to sign it. He told me he was flattered and it was beautiful. He hugged me and I immediately kissed his cheek and his neck. I couldn't help it! This chicka has needs! lol
Was hoping I'd be allowed in the elite crowd standing on the side...but of course Mr. Spike-Ass motioned for me to step by down. I gave him a nasty face to show my disapproval of him. He seemed to be Armin's personal cheerleader or something.
When I got down, a million people wanted to touch my autograph, and I was so worried it would smudge before I could get a pic of it. Some professional photographers kept coming over to take pics of it, so hopefully I'll have a good pic of it when they come out.
The crowd on the floor was terrible, so I went back upstairs to my spot on the railing. Armin recognized me up there, and would watch me sing along, and he kept pointing at me and smiling. It was an absolutely amazing night.
And at 4am, I loved when the announcer said, "The doors close at 4, but FUCK THAT SHIT!!!" and Armin played for another 45 minutes or maybe an hour after that. Oh and Johnny Funk finished it all up because no one was ready to leave.
And so many new friends I've gained! Thanks everyone for your kind words and sweetness! I loved meeting you all! I just want to give you guys a big hug again! Actually....brings up another story....
While I was down on the bottom floor, my cell had been knocked out, and became in a million pieces somewhere on the LL floor. So guess what? I had to get a new phone yesterday.
I've lost all my good people's phone numbers!!!!
So please text me, email me, PM me, whatever you wish, and I'm hoping to get your phone numbers back into my new phone!

The Kitchen Session (conceptualize at CLub Jonas by resident superstar DJ Jonas) was much of a success in it's debut. I have been getting calls and emails from fans and DJ's wanting to know more or how they can be a part of what we are now dubbed, EKG (Electronic Kitchen Group). <<
