Well I wasn't at 100% that night having still been a little tired from the rest of the weekend, but a very enjoyable night nonetheless.
As far as I know, the lasers aren't part of the regular setup, although they did do a pretty good job on them. The effect was pretty trippy and coordinated well with the music. Fleming's set was excellent, I loved the dark and driving psytrance.
My only complaint - and this might not make sense to the Boa cherry poppers - was that around the middle of Edgar's set (and from that point onward) the music was TOO LOUD! It wasn't distorting or anything, I mean it still sounded great, but the system at Boa DOES NOT NEED to be that loud in order for everybody in the club to feel the vibrations. Dynamics are the key there and not constantly belting out the beats as loud as they can be. My ears have been ringing a lot today after 6 hours and they weren't ringing after 12 hours last time I was there.
It wasn't really a big deal or anything and I'm still glad I went, but I remember that one of the things I raved about when I first went to Boa was that I could actually talk to people inside and never needed earplugs - I definitely should have worn them last night though.
Anyway, I don't mean to make it sound like it wrecked the night, really just a minor irritation (so was the smoking), it was still probably one of the best trance nights I've had the pleasure of being at. Congratulations TR, great party! Nice to see the TA massive in full force that night too.

Damn, looks like I missed another great party...hate it when that happens. I meant to show up, but got the news that my roomates mother passed away last night, and decided against it.
I'm glad the rest of you had an enjoyable evening though. Guess my Boa cherry will have to remain intact for a while longer...

I must admit, hearing trance being pumped out of Boa's awesome sound system took some getting used to but it sounded pretty damn good though.
Walter Rosati did a good job of warming up the crowd for Edgar V's set. Edgar's set was a bit too trancy at first for my liking but then he started pounding out some harder tunes and that got my ass movin.
J00F came on around 5 and started on his psy trance set. It was different to when I heard him at Viva but good nonetheless. I was so exhausted from one of the busiest weekends of my life but the music was so good that I just couldn't stop dancing. Left around 7 only because I had some work to finish up but I would love to have stayed until the end. What time did the party end anyway?
It was great seeing so many TAs out last night. We definitely took over that dance floor with our very own FloorWhore leading the charge. Big up to TR for making this happen.

heh. i didnt know boa had the dynacord!!! that's crazyyyyyy
For those interested there is a forum on www.boa-redux.com, already a few TA's on there. Comments, ideas, and future dj's are all taken into consideration
Ok. I'm in better condition to write a review now...
the party was AMAZING! Thanx to Nalin for saving my butt and helping me go in the first place!
We got there relatively early (1am?) and I was impressed with Walter's set, even though it was a lil all over the place and the mixing wasnt the greatest for the meshing of some tracks, his track selection DID impress me for the most part!
Edgar V was GREAT! I didnt know what to expect from this guy, but he mixed it up fairly well with melodic and progressive and hard trance... lots of great tunes were played! (I think I will forever associate 'White Room - The White Room' with this party)
J00F...omg, just simply incredible...he took us on a dark journey of a set with scattered melodies and psy-goodness! Not to mention that he's like one of the most DOWN TO EARTH djs I'v ever met...like WHAT a nice guy!
But what helped make this party what it was (aside from the great music) was my friends, and all the TA's (new and old)... wow... and Cuzo (hope you had a good bday) I have to mention, was simply unstoppable! The man would NOT let me stop dancing for one sec!
Definite positive vibe from all TA's. Thanx everyone
Ohhhhhh damn. can't forget to mention that I think Boa is the now my new favourite venue in toronto. If there are NOT more trance events there, GEORGE WILL BE VERY ANGRY!

I think this event was like one of the best events I've attended this year! I think I had a better time at BOA than when I was at WEMF. I couldn't have thought of a better way to pop my BOA cherry! Edgar V. was absolutely great. It was my first time hearing of him and boy did he impress me! JOOF...do I really need to say anything? I think the name alone says it all. Fleming rocked my trance world with an outstanding set. He is such a great dj and person. The energy all night long was superb. I had a great time sharing my "first time" with the TA's that were there! As for the venue...FUCK THE GUV! I was in awe when I saw this place. I thought the stairs were great but I do agree with Durfei...smoking should have been kept down stairs even though I myself was smoking. And $5.00 for a bottle of water was a little ridiculous but those energy drinks were amazing. I hope BOA gets more awesome trance headliners. Imagine if JOOF had a residency there???
