oh kz .. time to post a more serious review on last nite ..
first off, i just wanna thank all the TA massive for coming out last nite and showing their utmost suppport. i think we must have set a world record in TA attendance at that party! unbelieveable, we were totally there in full force no doubt..
anyways, first off the night didn't start off too good for me as i was supposed to go pick up my bro from his SEMI, but the little twirp got carried away having too much fun that he forgot to call home to tell me that he had a ride back.. so i ended up getting to Viva late and having to pay the $25 cover.. and also missed the meetup.. 
so.. i bumped into Hordash and some of the TA crew while in line and we eventually got in. once inside the vibe was completely unbelieveable. i was astonished to see how many TA's were out in full force.. just to name a couple off the top of my head (pls. correct me or add to this list if i met you but didn't write ur name down! there were just too many ppl!)
DJ-Hordash (Mirza) + his friend ALex
DJ Eso
powder (??)
LocoNet
Flec (Shane)
Endlesswave (Chris) + his cousin Pete
DJ-Stylez (Sonny)
Time2Burn (Az) + his sister Iris
TranceNerd (Aaron) + his sister Sarah
FireStarter (Jeff)
TranceKitten (Jazmin)
Nikish
Mecha

HardcoreTrancer (Navid)
Durafei (Ilya)
Tatgirl (Natalie)
GT_Trance
Mot1on
Dr. Z
TranceXtasy
Sooper
and someone with numbers in their handle??! (i think u came with Tatgirl, white guy with glasses)
...a whole bunch of TA newbies (like 15 of you or so.. props!) whom i don't remember names for.. sorry guys! but glad to see u all coming out and hopefully to many more!
i know i'm missin a LOT of ppl .. so plz add !
and of course.. SWAMPER
So wells all in all here was the night:
The Good:
- Talla played a phenominal set (with some hickups which i'll get into later), dropped a lotta amazing tracks, much more anthems than i thought he would, but then again the Viva crowd is more of the uplifting epic type.. but he did give us a good dosage of some techno, and tech-trance tracks in and out of the set. the anthems he picked to drop were more than suitable for the mood tho.. he definately tried to read the crowd..
- The club.. wells they definately put up a lotta X-Mas decorations to liven up the place. as usual the system was phenominal, light and sound wise. funny almost every time i go in there the place is just constantly changing..
- The ROOM.. it wasn't a ram packed house , but there were enuff ppl there to really rev that place up and there was plenty of room to move, dance, and talk! and oh yea .. BREATHE
- The women .. wells, heh i gotta admit that i enjoyed myself (as did Hordash's friend Alex  ) on the eyecandies.. i guess that's easier for me since i'm Asian and kinda dig asian chicks.. (sorry Mecha)
but hey i honestly thought that there was a pretty nice blend of different kinds of women last nite.. and usually if u see a non-Asian girl there she usually looks pretty damn hot too .. 
(ie. no hootchies or ginas)
- The TA crew.. omg, what more can i say .. having that many TA's out and being able to party it up with everyone in full force.. i mean u can't ask for more.
- Liteshowing with Nikish and mot1on..
- The VIBE... out of this world.. there was just so much energy last nite, the crowd was intelligent to the music and allowed Talla to move them. I've never seen that kinda crowd behaviour ever at Guv.. clappin and singing to the beat.. just UNREAL. reminded me of being in some other country! Everyone knew when a breakdown was coming or a hardbeat.. it was just right. and the place went insane..!
- The best part of the night was being able to actually promote TranceAddict to some of the other partiers.. we were chanting.. and some ppl were actually like .. "What's TA??" .. and wells, now u can expect them on the site after what they heard..
The Bad:
- Getting there so late and having to pay a $25 cover.. ah wells it was worth it what can i say ..
- Not getting a chance to make the pre-party meetup or remember everyone's name in the club and welcome the newer TA's.. sorry there were just too many ppl.. we definately need to meetup in a more intimate atmosphere some time where we can all actually talk ..
- Talla messing up on like one or two tracks.. most of the set was pretty flawless.. but one noticeable hickup was that mix out from Jan Johnson - FLesh .. wtf ?!
- totally DESTROYING my body and feet from Talla's relentlessness.. i shoould have taken some chill breaks throughout the nite.. i might have been able to go longer if i had chilled near the side in and out..
- not gettin enuff sleep the night before!
The UGLY:
- That fucking deranged fat white dood with the red baseball cap ! WTF man, the dood was totally stoned or gone and was walking around cursing at everyone. even got up onto the gogodancers' podium not allowing her to dance and started rubbing himself.. fucking nasty! at one point he kept calling at Talla near the decks to give him his cap.. serious that guy should have been bounced early!!
- playing news and basketball game highlights on the screens instead of the DJ spinnin ?!? wtf?!
- These 2 Asian guys trying to hit on these chill 3 girls (the right kinds for TA) that were dancing near us, eventually harassing them and gettin their own girlpal who was probably cracked out and high too to wipe their faces (the 3 girls) with somekinda white cloth ?? yea .. definately some cracked out and trippy stuff.. i'm glad to say that i saw the guys get bounced sometime later into the night..
- Talla NOT leaving the club through the crowd at the end of his set.. we were gonna try to get a group photo of him in with all the TA's, but i guess that fat white dood must have ticked him off or something!! 
So basically to sum it all up .. in the end, i had FUN. tons of fun and no matter how good the DJ or the club , (or even not so good sometimes as well), the important thing is that the TA"s all came out last nite to support and that i could not ask for more. Being able to party it up with some great people will always make the difference. I"m sure Digweed played a good set and all that , as they say in his review thread.. but in the end being there with the whole TA massive just did it for me. When i see it, it's always about the VIBE and how much fun you had at the end of the night... this party was immeasureable .. and i'm glad to say that i think some of you guys out there just got a slight (hint) of how the vibe used to feel back in the day here ...
peace!
