It is midnight on wednesday and this is the first oportunity I have had to sit down and soberly write a review.

IN MY OPINION:

Worst Bal en Blanc I have been to... worst event I have ever attended.

I am not usually one to complain about parties and I usually have fun wherever I go- Bal en Blanc 2006 was not a bad time, but nothing spectacular.

Cons:
-Alain Vinet ruining his career whith a 'what the fuck is this shit' set?
-David Cheezeface playing a great 45 minute start and turning into MC Mario then into a Rock Band with a high pitched screetch.
-The 27 million people everywhere puching me and being assholes.
- The inability to find my friends but seeing every other person in the world I didn't want to see. (This includes people I taught swimming lessons too when they were
"Elie, please don't tell my mommy I was here!"
-No magic to the night.
-The only way I was able to solve the bathroom problem was by NOT drinking. Gotta love my quick-wit.
-Mostly everything else that happened in the night.
-How can I forget Deep Dish sucking more than raw ham. They were my 'sure thing' untill I heard the Brokeback mountain theme music come on ... and then heard everyone around me saying THIS IS AMAZING while I puked. MONICA YOU WERE THE BEST THING OF THAT SET!
- Missing my boy Danny, probably the only other good house set played- GO STEREO! SOrry buddy
-That Stupid World is mine song.
-That amazing Drill song, only in the cons because it has been in my head for 4 days and was all i heard at the recovery party. I'm becoming dilusional.

PROS:
-GRONDIN GRONDIN GRONDIN GRONDIN - thank goodness. Thank goodness for him ... did what he could with the 2 friking hours he played.
-ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN - he has never let me down. Missed Rauhoffer because of him.
-Getting to hang out with Armin's managers by Armin's side while his set= Sherin you rock!
-Nic - for all of you who didn't want to come with me to the scary trance room, you missed something great.
- Getting to party with my Stereo friends somewhere other than Stereo.
-Niko Dancing!
-Leaving...
-Stereo security doing security and letting me in all the places I wasn't alowed to go!

It wasn't that bad ... just that it didn't have the WOAH! effect that all the other events I have been to have had ... no magic, no great memories ... maybe I am getting sinical?

The best part of my weekend comes after that, Parking monday (Stefane + Malek rocked it). I made sure I was gone before David Getto started making me puke again. Hung out with my Toronto friends all evening in their Hotel, went to Stereo- HEX ROCKED IT. One of the top 5 sets I have ever heard there. Couldn't leave till the last track. Spent the day having a blast at the hotel and didn't get to bed till 3 AM last night ... non-stop party. GO me ...

oh god, I discust myself ... to bed I go.

Vinet did suck. Grondin was the best DJ in the house room. Fanciulli did kick ass.

Pretty spot on Elie. Only difference is I thought this year was 298423278 times better than last year.

Alright here is my review FINALLY!! I have been trying to catch up on sleep and papers all week and my brain and body are NOT happy about it!!

Anyways, we were up since thursday and let me tell you the music this weekend was SICK SICK SICK SICK!!! Thrusday we went to stereobar, friday -Living and both nights were faking amazing music!!! Soo dissapointed that places closed at 3 am bc the DJ's had me going and going and going!! PROPS!!!

Nada, thanks for Saturday nite and the dinner get together, no worries that my meal was BLAH I still had a fab time and much appreciation for the effort!!

saturday nite went to St. Sulpice (sp??) and met a buncha crazy canucks, drank lots of canadian beer (and never missed the watered down american beer for one freakin second!!!)

Ok I am skipping straight to beb:

EVENT OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!

This event was sooo much better than last year, mostly bc the crowd and vibe were FANTASTIC!!! We arrived at 10 or so and got handed VIP2 bracelets for no apparent reason WOOT!! and got t-shirts....sorry we prolly took some that people actually paid for, but we weren't thinkin of that at the time LOL

Marco G: FAN FREAKIN TASTIC!!!! (is that a word??) LOVED LOVED the beats he was putting out!! WOOT! I am going to see this guy again sooon!!

Nic F: ok at this time I am embarassed to say that I was MAJOR sketch and can barely remember his set, I heard it was awesome lol....I remember sitting in VIP for like 2 hours...at one point dance2dabeat was sitting next to me and I was like "damn how long has she been there?" lol (sorry hun!) Soo glad my sketch was short lived bc the rest of the night was ON FIRE!!!

Infected Mushroom Live: back to myself again....omfg!!!!!!!! faking crazy!!! THE CROWD WAS GOING NUTS!!!! I have to see them live again and I LOVE the fast BPMS!!!!! crazy guitars, great crowd interaction.

Guetta: Usually I like anthems/cheese, but I was feeling the hard beats that night so I skipped out on most of this...the end with Blur and Nirvana mixes had the crowd nuts tho!!!

Decided to sit down and met MANY MANY MANY amazing Montrealers...you guys are fakin great people, I tell you!!I chilled with the MTL crew for a few hours and returned around six for Armin!!

Armin: LOVED armin (dont I always??) Again, I was more feeling the hard beats that night but armin never goes wrong...he played Sweet Dreams and Shivers, holy the crowd was psycho!! I love armin, I MIGHT have his child!! LOL (jokes) I think I got mere to like him too!!

Deep Dish: A little slow for my liking (they played a lot of prog house) but I had so much energy that I didn't care...

PREACH: OMFG PREACH PREACH PREACH I HAVE WAITED A YEAR AND YOU DIDN'T DISSAPOINT!!! You are seriously in my top ten DJ's and PLEASE PLEASE come to NYC so I can show you off!!! LOL Stayed till the very end with energy to SPARE!! (I thought I saw bunch of MTLTA's at preach (i was dancing right next to magikb and tordan) but I don't know your faces very well??) Let me know if you saw me...pic below..Preach was the #1 for me...especially since the hard beats were KILLING me that night..SICK!!

Party notes:

Vibe 10/10
Girls: 10/10 DAMN hot chicks...I was more turned on my the naked girls then by the men..where did all the straight good looking men go in MTL????
Men: 5/10 LOL and I am not even a lesbian lol
DJ's 9/10
organization: 9/10

To the toronto TA's Sorry I missed you all night, I was chillin with that fab MTL crew and lost track of time...where did the time go?? it went sooo fast!! I barely saw you all weekend but no worries

To the other tota's (the irish crew I will call you): Sweetest, funniest group of people ever! I hope to see you in toronto ASAP because you are a great group of people. Graham I WILL shrink you down and put you in my pocket to carry around if nat lets me LOL..too funny!! Penny: best chick ever. period.

My NYTA's I love all of ya, you made the trip worthwhile (well fran, you suck tho!! LOL)

Did you have on these semi-high socks?? Or was that another chick??? And you talked to my tall female friend who was dancing next to you for 20 mins or so...

Or was that someone else?? hehe...
