Wowzer, cannot believe this thread is 4 pages already!
So without further ado, here's my review:
Decor: 10/10! Definitely one of the more impressive setups I've seen in that complex. The DJ cage was trippy!
Picotto: 9/10. Bangin' set but also melodic, not just techno beats without any substance. It did get a little repetitive from time to time (as techno does), so it was great that the other DJs were throwing such good sets too...
Storm & Total Science: 7/10. I'm clumping these into one because I thought the sets sounded fairly similar. I found the sets a little too hardcore junglish (as opposed to mellower DnB-ish) for me to spend more than 20-30 minutes on at a time, but I thought the MCing was excellent and more than made up for it. The local DJs, IMO, were spinning more interesting tunes that kept me dancing for about an hour and a half.
Deep Dish: 8/10. They have renewed my faith in progressive house. I thought their set had great variety, from loungy to funky to trancy to hard. A little too repetitive at times but otherwise great stuff. However, the Guvernment was entirely too crammed, and I did not get to hear the end, unfortunately, since I was in the KH at "closing time."
Management: 4/10. I think this is worthy of mentioning as well... the club was obviously faced with a very difficult situation and did what they had to do in the interests of everyone's public safety, which I commend them for. However, common sense tells me that this incident was partly due to carelessness and could potentially have been avoided. Also, even though it was 6 AM, I still paid to be there until 8:30 and I am very disappointed that there was no offer of compensation. I also thought that the bouncers were quite rude in clearing people out.
The fucking tweaked-out puffy-red-hair whistle bitch: -6/10 If I ever see you on the street, I'll beat you senseless, I swear to god. I'll be carrying a lead pipe with me at all times for this sole reason.
Shouts & props to all the TAs that came out to represent, especially the ones that helped take over the Acid Lounge until after 1 AM. I don't want to list names since there are too many and I will undoubtedly forget someone. Was great to see some new faces as well. I can't help noticing a certain group of people who did not bother coming to the meetup - I'm not going to cut anyone up for it, but in all sincerity, I was looking forward to meeting some of you and I wish you'd be a little more sociable with the rest of us. It's kind of awkward being in there, knowing that some of you probably recognize me from the pictures but don't feel like saying hello... :/
One of my friends there made a comment to me in total innocence that totally cracked me up: he said in the Guvernment, at about 2 or 3 AM, "I heard this place turns into a gay party later on, maybe I should go to Koolhaus soon." Hahahaha, but he did NOT mean it as a joke! Fortunately this did not happen, and fortunately for him he stayed in the Guv until 8:10. But it's funny that the Guv is getting this kind of a reputation, because he knows nothing of TA or Tribe and is just a reg there.
Special shouts and thanks (in NO particular order!) to:
- Muff2k, for the advance warning on the shirt business!
- Emery, sorry you were down for so much of the night! Did you get to party at all?
- E2EK1EL, FINALLY I find you! Now I've met the whole TA jungle massive. 
- Jason, welcome to the crew.
- Liam, thanks for introducing me to... oh wait, you didn't introduce me to anyone, ph00l.  Sorry I didn't make the meetup, got a ride at the last minute.
- And of course the after-party crowd, you know who you are. It was a great way to neutralize the shittiness of being kicked out, so when I went home I actually felt pretty good about the whole event.  Huge thanks guys, I owe ya.
Love ya all!! Thanks for an awesome night!
