well....what a night. my first party sience wintergalactic didnt dissapoint one bit.

orkidea: cant say enough good things about that man, superlative set, in my opinion he stole the show music wise but not energy wise - that goes to armin - also, orkidea is a really nice guy. i got to meet him and he came down from the booth to shake my hand and take a pic. freekin awesome.

"armis" van buuren: excellent.....just amazing. super set, tons of energy, tons of fun. got to get his autograph, he actually signed it "armis", just like the tic misprint. i laughed my ass off over that, also his reaction when he first noticed it... funny shtit.

the vibe was amazing... just right. also skybreak, i hate to disagree but i think the set up was way better than wintergalactic. different rooms for different styles, the decor was awesome, and having the dj booth out there like that allowed for more crowd interaction with the stars of the night. good call whoever decided on that. shout outs to all TA's i met especially arcticboy, thanks for the ride...best breakfast ever at mcdonalds no? hahahahahahaha!!

this party was jus amazing to say the least...

the music, the vibe, the decor.... fantastic!!! and the stage on the floor... what an amazing idea. from top to bottom and room to room, this party was great.

back to back to back.... ian ossia, orkidea and armin van buuren... holy sheeeeeeeeeeeeit. although i did check out the other rooms, i spent most of the time in the main room. it felt like i spent the whole day there or something

MY BANNER?!?! for those who saw it and gave their props... thank you very much. I was standing by it during orkidea's set.. after i left, it either fell or was taken down so for those who didn't see it... i apologize. I would have put it back up but it was soaked from the water/beer/liquid something behind the bar. the tape wouldn't hold it anymore. and after all the smirnoff ice... there was no way i was getting back on a ladder to fix it that high up there.

all in all... an amazing night. thank you sonic state. wintergalactic 2002?

peace

And thus the mystery is solved. I saw it earlier on in the night, it looked great man, thanks! Armada pointed it out to me, I was like "right on, we kick ass!". hah Then in the ensuing madness and chaos I noticed it was down. It plagued my mind for 20 seconds, then I got back to the party.

Hey everybody, me and my bf finally made it back to Ottawa. What a trip we had. That was a great night. Thanks again halo20/whistler for the tix. Nice meeting everybody. Trancearmada, sorry we could go to the afterparty but we had to drive all the way home today. Niebieski, you kick ass, bracie!! Everytime I didn't see you for a while, I tought you left but no way, you were dancing the whole night. Trancextacy, you are huge man.

The tunes were great, but I was getting frustrated because I thought that Armin was spinning at 3 and then peeps were telling me that he wasn't there and I was afraid he wouldn't show but he did. Oh yeah, biggest surprise, Binary Finary - i was like what the fuck?!? That was wicked.

After sleeping for a big on Sunday, we went record shopping and there was a guy at a record store that looked exactly like Swamper. Is that your brother?? Got a whole bunch of records bor my bf. My friend Aileen really enjoyed herself too. It was only her second time at a rave.

And halo20, hilary is totally corrupted now.

Gotta sleep now.

Well i finally have enough energy to post about the party. I had a long day Saturday, as you can imagine being at the Docks helping the Sonic State crew decorate the place. The time i had was truely amazing, just being in a place where beautiful music, beautiful people, gorgeous decorations, and being around all my friends made my nite memorable. Spending 7 hours dressing the Docks up was so worth it; i think it created an atmosphere that truly captured the hearts of many. The centre stage working out perfectly, i think most people really appreciated it; it created an intimate interaction with the the DJs. The only reason the main room was extended all the way to the back at Wintergalactic was, we knew that it was gonna be rammed during Tiesto. Even then alot of people were crammed near the front. But for this party, there wasn't as many people to open up the whole area. This setup made it cozier don't you think? Everyone i spoke to had an amazing night. The night went quite smoothly and all the sets that i heard were off the hook. As much as i love Armin's music, i have to say my favourite set of the night had to be Orkidea's. His music is simply beautiful. I only wish i could see more of his performances.
I didn't get to meet any you tranceaddicts, since i had to run around the place, i had to do guestlist outside for a bit too. I only met one of you, Ruffryder(sp), nice seeing you. Hope you had a great time. The tranceaddict banner fell down?? hahah i didn't even notice. It looked good while it was up. Thanks to all my close friends that were there, i forget how i miss partying with all of you together. Being with friends that i hardly see anymore was an absolute delight. I thank you STATE for uniting so many people that i care about.

A final thanks to Nick & Andre, everyone in the Sonic State family, and decorating crew to a fabalous night. Until next time...god bless.

Anyways time to sleep, Monday mornings suck.

oh wow

what an amazing party.
armin has been easily my favorite dj for a long long time and oh so long have i waited for this day.

his set absolutly blew me away.
the whole set i was waiting for it.. i knew he was going to spin it.. he had to spin it and the second i heard those first few notes from communication i tear rolled down my cheek in happiness that the day finally arrived.

thank you everyone who went to this party for making it the very best one i have ever been to. the vibe in the place was amazing.
my only complaint is that armin should have been a bit earlier. but no worries

This thread will probably never end, why because there are soo many funny/great stories to go around.

1) Stereoprincess, you guys always amaze me, willing to party everywhere and anywhere but where you live?? hah Nice seeing you out. And yes Hilary is corrupted.

2) The vestax thing is really strange. I saw him shaking his head all night?! Armin kept making strange ass faces (if you got up close you know what I mean) when mixing. Was the one deck screwed? Or was he making a comment on the Vestax quality? Strange no doubt.

3) Who took those digital group pics of us? And why aren't they up yet?!?

4) Who was that tall gorgeous woman wearing the t-shirt rolled up so it was a mid-riff? Honestly?!? I talked to her for five mins, but she said she was just a lurker. Well read this honey, get an account! hah Is it you eevil_kat?

5) Swamper, ya missed out. That apple was the best thing I'd ever tasted in my life.

What a fucking kick ass night.. avb was totallly amazing.. probably one of the best sets ive ever heard.. it reminded me of Corstens set at the guvernment... totally amazing..

It was great seeing all the Tranceaddicts again, Swamper, red, richie, skybreak, tsi, shmacks, my brother haha.. and the rest of ya'll... !!*puff*

Armin totally pumped us up playing an amazing hard set with some great classics inside it like Binary finary 2000 (gouryella mix), communication and ending off with MAJOR LEAGUE - Wonder where you are(a fucking amazing uplifting anthem track)

all in all the party was great and the drive down to toronto from ottawa was well worth it. Orkidea played an amazing set as well and i was not disapointed what so ever

I still dont know whether Armin played the deep dub of such is life or not.. what ever it was it was an amazing track (reminded me of gielens set at dance department)...


DID ARMIN PLAY 2 FANCY FAIRS simultaniously ? THAT WAS TOtalLY FUCKING WICKED

aquarians like me just cant resist those gemini's.
i love my geminemini's!!! (eh swamper?)
her TA name is 'SHMACK'. i hope she's reading this.. cuz even tho i got her number, im not gona call.. my raptor dance pak girl wouldn't have it

sorry i didn't meet any of you.. for most of the night i was either getting off in the techno room.. (dont know what dj) eating free fruit like a feind.. or pimping it in the vip area (dont i feel special).
next time i'll be on the lookout.. gotta get me one of them shirts too.

the only tune i recognized by orkidea was Starecase - 'bitter little pill' (this record has brilliant artwork on it by the way)

i danced my sober ass off like a champ up until armin came on.. i dunno if it was fatigue.. or armin.. or because i put my earplugs on..

Orkideas set at ELEMENT BAR tonight (sunday) was SIIIICK!!
pure progressive..
his partener or friend from finland was also really good.. exact same progressive style.. he dug my dancing..
i really wanna show off my dancing skills to the TA'S! whats the next party i can meet you guys @?

btw SS lost 20gs
but they made some great contacts..
they have some INSANE shite planned for the future
winterga, what?

Seems like you guys all had a wicked time

Makes me wanna go to Toronto even more!! You don't know how lucky you guys are to have so much TA's in the same town!! I went to PvD @ the O Saturdaynight and I met 0 TA's!! :S

Anywayz..I hope you guys recover well in the next few days (weeks?? ) and this thread made me decide to really start saving up now so I can be there with all you guys next year!!
