Hmmm... so much going on in head, where do I start.
I went to Global Gathering strictly for the techno so it was KH for me all night.a girl does need her techno fix every so often. And what a techno party it was!! I also went with fewer friends as Danny Tenaglia had managed to lure them away. Got in at about 12.30-1am. Met some TAs and immediately hit the dance floor.
Ritchie is GOD in my eyes!
Meh what do you expect from someone with a MSN handle that reads
" ..and then GOD said, Let there be techno! and thus Ritchie was born.."
I was not expecting him to be nearly as good as he was at System back in January- I was pleasantly surprised. He is a master on the boards and one could see that he was getting a bit annoyed with the skipping too. Considering it was KH, I let it slide. Being the crazee ass dancer that I am, I am happy to report that Ritchie's set kept my phat ass shaking from start to finish with a permanent smile pasted on my face. I had to shake the man's hand and this hand of mine has yet to be washed.
On a side note, I would love to see Ritchie spin at a smaller venue where one can truly appreciate him for his genius. I'll be waiting to experience him again.
Ritchie set the stage nicely for Sven, who while not at his best, still kept me going until closing time. I noticed that Sven is quite the flirt and after we exchanged a few meaningful albeit corny glances, i was sure he was spinning just for me . I lost kajillion callories and for once I am nicely satiated and know that i have done more than my share in holding up the dance floor. A special thanks goes out to Ben who kept me company when I realized that all the people I'd come with had left and that i was truly alone- me in my teenie weenie green dress that did not ward off the few vultures there.
I wanted to make mention of the vibe in the techno room. The people there knew exactly what was in store for them and the intensity on the dance floor matched the music quite nicely. This has been my first time I partied alone without my entourage of dance partners( I WAS a bit nervous as I didn't want to razzed) and I had no problems finding people who matched my energy. There were smiles all round and when the looping and build up came, there was no doubt that the crowd ate everything up. Not that i am against socializing, but there we no one in the lounge area as most people were out dancing in full force. The ladies of techno were a pleasure to watch as well. I mean there were tons of women out there tearing the dance floor without being too caught up in the legendary beauty myth. I was forced to come out of my shell and meet new people, and that would not have happened if I had the luxury of my protective circle of friends around me. and of course I missed the friends so much that i had to make an unexpected visit to experience the infamous Dannt Tenaglia @ Boa after I closed down KH just to savour the squeals of joy, the tons of hugs, the pleasantly surprised looks, the pats on the back, not to mention some looks of disbelief on their faces especially since I was supposed to be sleeping.
WOW!! A truly wonderful Canada Day all round absolutely no regrets...
Hail all you techno-heads!!!!!!
Neeta.
