alrighty, time for my review. i'm gonna get the bad stuff out of the way so i can focus on the good things.
bad:
* lineup to get in. waited an hour and a half to get in, pretty brutal. only two people searching too, kinda dumb for all the people coming in.
* coat check. not so much the way in (yay for butting in line  ) but more so on the way out. way too many people for those three people behind the counter to handle. and plus, they opened up doors to let the cold air in, and i was freezing my ass off. can't imagine how all the raver girls who were half-clothed were feeling.
* amount of people. i didn't find it too packed in there, but for dancing-wise, it was. had no room to do any moves, hardly any room to glowstick, or anything. just stomp to the beat pretty much, hehe.
k, and now the good. and was it ever good!
* meeting up with graham and kevin in the tent! HAHAHA, craziest shit ever! i see some dude break some orange ultras and i was like "wtf is this shit..." look over, he's doing some good shit, so i walk over... "GRAHAM!!!! WTF!!! YO!!!" hahaha. that was great! then i look around and kevin's right beside me! lol. i was attracted by the light, hahaha. oh, hilarious.
* graham's statement about the countdown. | quote: | | Originally posted by The Highroller "HAPPY BUMBOCLAT NEW YEAR!!!!" |
ROFL!!! i almost died laughing at that, hahaha. too funny 
* music in the tent. hearing some awesome techno (tribally at times too) made part of my night. very very sick. but wtf was that when grimace, or dominic or whoever was after them came on. 8 mile theme!?!?!?! fuck that. all the thugs doing the arm thing to the beat, pissed me off so much. if i wanted to hear that, i'd go to the local clubs here. at least he mixed it into some hardcore, but after 2-3 mins!!!! goddamn, that was really dumb. *insert my thug imitation here*
* after the wikkid hardcore set, we made our way into the main room to see madam zu. OMFG. CRAZY. it was really hard to categorize her set, but i'd say it was hard trance, overpowered by nrg. goddamn that was awesome. seeing everyone go crazy, dancing. look up at the booth, the madam mixing, the overheard view on the lcd screens of the madam, i had a huge smile on my face. at the point no matter what happened after that, my night was made. this was what i have always imagined raves to be like, and it hit the bullseye. sorry if that's lame, but at that point it seemed like a true underground scene. i wish i could explain it more, but it's too hard. just, AMAZING.
* NIPPLE SLIP! rofl, that was so stupid man, "omg! a nipple!" hahaha, but who cares, it was fucking hilarious. i wanted to get a pic, but she was always staring right at me, and made me feel uncomfortable, hahaha.
* jelo and dekoze. W. T. F. the things everyone said about these guys, were dead on. they go fucking crazy behind the decks. got me into it SO MUCH. both of them doing the hardcore headbob, their great mixing skillz, holy shit. and the tracks they played, great range. some house, tech-house, techno (mauro picotto - bauguette, or bangkok, i need to check) it was sooooo gooooood. and the random screams dekoze would do when jelo put the volume down for a sec, lmao. that was so crazy, hahaha.
* drag n fly. HOT DAMN! ezekiel (formally sos2) you were right man. he was psycho. biting a record, hopping around in the booth, ontop of the booth, pouring water or sprite into some dudes mouth, lmao. and he played some good tracks too. dumnode - can you dig it (jam-x and leon's mix) was the one i could point out. love that track, hehe. he put out a huge amount of energy, it was madness i tells ya.
* meeting up and having a mini-TA meetup. great to meet you sage, looks like you had a great time man. and flec, good to see you again, i recognized you immediately with your starchild shirt, hehe. and graham and kev, great to party with you guys again.
* meeting other people. k, i was pretty lame and stereotypical raver, but i brought a notepad and got people to sign it flame me now, i dont care, it was funny, hehe. adn there was this one girl who said to me and graham "i love you two." i was like, hmmm... mind game! "yeah, we're twins!" ... "no you're not, your eyes and eyebrows are different!" ... "so? i didn't say we were identical twins." ... "are you lying to me?" ... "why would i lie to you? that'd be stupid." ...  i'm a clown  met some people from torontoraves, which was pretty cool as well.
all in all, i had a wicked night. huge thanks to nikish for going down with me, and hooking me up with a place to chill (am i a part of the russian massive? ) huge thanks to the dima's, hehe. and also olya for putting up with all of us candy kids, hahaha. also sly, hulla should be fucking crazy. first one! and also inna, an amazing girl i met. purple heaven should be most enjoyable, with you there! ^_^
ahhh, so many memories of that night will be with me for a while. unlike talla, which was a blur, hahaha damn it, i wanna relive that night again 
taking everything into account, that was probably one of, if not, the best new years i have had. (totally different than drinking with friends, and watching tv, lol)
peace, Ken
