What a night...I'm now coherent enough for a full review.
Got there around midnight, Caufield was a boring warm up DJ, but the tunes were good enough to serve as some background music for that first hour when everyone runs in to people they know and chat for awhile. Valentino came on and the pace changed immediately! I really liked his set. He played some big hits that I'm getting tired of (Pontape, Sunshine) but they did fit the set at the time.
Carola's mixing was tight, but he bored me. Nothing really sticks out in my mind from his set. (But I think I was pretty drunk as well!) Beyer came on and did not cease to impress us with his mad skills! Omg. His track selection wasn't my favorite type - I usually like more funk in my techno - but what I really noticed was the transition from bassline to bassline between tracks. Very smooth! I went fucking beserk when he played Misstress Barbara's "Ouch, my liver!" at 6:30am. I had NO energy left except enough to hop around a little, bop my head maybe, but when he played that - woohoo! Got my third wind! LOL That track rules.
Nice meeting/seeing TAs throughout the night - sake, Hordash (met you at Turbo), Highroller, Diginut, Natalie (did you have someone with you that I met as well? I honestly can't remember.)...ummm...I met a ton of ppl from tribe as well, so I'm getting a little confused!
It was quite the eye opening experience to be at System til close sans drugs. I was so exhausted, but ended up staying just because Beyer's set was so good and interesting to listen to. But seriously, seeing people sooooo fucked up at 6:30am - mad dancing, stumbling out to cabs in the rain once the club closed - was interesting. Also, when you're high and people (male or female) start chatting you up, you don't even think about it! But when you're sober and you get the same thing, it's like "wow, I must look great tonight because all these guys are chattin me up!"
So yeah, got home and passed right out at 7:30am, then got up at 10:30 to pound the pavement with my boyfriend til dinnertime, looking for an apartment! (we found one) Then it was naptime, and time to do it all over again. Woohoo!!!
