Re: Sander van Doorn @ Space 12/08/2007 Review (w/ vids, pics, and tracklist)

simply... SANDER FUCKING TORE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got to space around 11 maybe a few minutes after. got right in after being IDed 3 times. i really hate this about space now but whatever. had birthday passes, but my gf also won sander's 24 hours to comply contest (where you can win free entry to a sander show) from his myspace. so we go up to the front and say "we're on sanders list." took the door people a minute to even find sanders list, but them bam. we were the only ones on his list.  while sharams list had like 50 people on there. so in we gooooo.
we get in, and sorry to say, but edgars opening sets make me sick. he dropped trentemoeller - moan which is a good track and some other stuff, but mostly it had no flow at all. i realize hes opening, but damn, i cannot stand listening to it, doesnt get me warmed up at all. finally about 12:30 when the alcohol from the free drinks is starting to kick in, edgar starts to pick it up a bit, and im thinking "is sander gonna come on at 1 if edgars already picking it up???"
yep! 1am and on comes sander!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! starts it off a little slow, again testing the waters, and there was a well known ID in the first couple tracks, but out of the first half hour i didnt recognize much at all. then sander starts by dropping back by popular demand and since some people actually recognize it, space really started taking off. after this point sander pretty much just dropped the bang a little harder and a little faster with every track. it was non-stop, jumping up and down, screaming sander (i lost my voice last night), and simply dancing my ass off. sickest set ive ever heard at space. just check the partial tracklist. theres some more obvious IDs that i forgot, so hopefully someone can throw some in there. sander came on at 1am and stopped around 4:15-4:20.
sander looked like he was having such a blast too. total crowd interaction and everything. we had some shirts made that said "SANDER VAN FUCKING DOORN" and sander immediately saw the shirts on us within 3 minutes of being in the booth. he pointed, smiled, and gave a thumbs up to us. we actually made a shirt for sander too and about an hour into his set, got it to him. 
mixing was on fucking point all night long. the longer he plays and the more often he plays, his mixing keeps getting better and better. last night i didnt hear one fuck up. first couple times i saw him during wmc this past year, he did fuck up quite a bit, but his mixing really has come a long way! the more he does it too, the more his mixing gets more original. and thats always a big plus.
now about the crowd, as i always have to do this kind of review too. first of all, space was packed. no one had any clue who sander van doorn was, people were just there for the free drinks and shit, but sander kept everyone there! even when we got there around 11, we encountered several people who already had way too many drinks. before sander you saw mostly drunk as fuck people stumbling around. after sander came on you saw a lot of people rolling their tits off. just some examples... there was a couple SLOW DANCING like you would at a wedding or some shit right in the middle of a high energy track. there was the typical guy with only half of his shirt buttoned up having his chest sucked by some bitch. there was this guy making out with 2 chicks at the same time at the bar. there were many a folks dancing like fools and so on and so on. i got bumped into a hell of a lot. people dont know how to say excuse me or im sorry, but thats what you expect to get when you let all the kiddies in for free and drink free. i didnt really let it bother me as i was there for sander and nothing else, but how some of you do this week in and week out, i do not comprehend. im too old for this shit.
just one more complaint, then the review will be over. it was supposed to be a positive review, but i gotta throw this in too... when the free drinks were on, we went to some short bartender and the first two rounds of drinks were cool, tipped em good of course to keep em coming back to us and all, but when went back for a 3rd round, we were standing there forever. some guy who came way after us is standing next to us, and the bartender goes up to him to ask him what he wants. he says "she was here first" referring to my gf and the bartender says "well that doesnt matter" or some shit. WTF?! ive never seen such a dick before. what does it matter whos drink he does first? so after we finally got our drinks we barely tip him and hes like "thats it?" yea mother******. thats it. then we went to the tall black guy who is always cool as shit.
you have no idea how many people asked us "what does your shirt mean?" LOL!
So basically you have a problem with people getting drunk and fucked up at a NIGHT CLUB.
You should just invest your money into a breathalizer and just give random sobriety checks to everyone you deam as too fucked up to be there.
That seems like your best solution to your problem.
You talk shit on people who are all around your exact age group,maybe a 1-3 years younger.GIVE ME A BREAK.
You really need to stop going out bro its making me sick how you can say that it was the best set ever but even still your talking all this shit about how bad everything else was.
Give me a fucking break already and give it a rest!!!
Like you said in your other post in a diffrent thread.I don't go to parties to "be there".Well then why do you go????(Not even a great night of music will please you)
You hate on our community, you talk shit on everything about every club.YOU EVEN GOT IN FOR FREE AND GOT SOME DRINKS FREE AND YOU STILL FUCKING BITCH!!!!!What does a club have to do for you????Your worst than the kiddies that you talk all this shit about.Atleast they are there to have fun.
You are a joke.
I'm done....
Glad to hear some people had fun.
