I got to BeB around 11pm, and managed to get through the line, coatcheck and security by 11:30pm. It seemed though that once we arrived, so did everyone else creating a huge lineup behind us. From there I headed into the trance room...
Preach, you are AMAZING. Your set was very very impressive, even though I only heard the last two hours. I also should have been expecting that from you. Kudos!!!
When Tiesto came on, I found that the trance room became way too crowded and sweaty, but I anticipated that much. I found that his set began slow, and stayed that way for a while. It was still exceptional though, and it just got better once he sped things up.
Ok, I am fully aware that many of you here hate Benassi, but I really enjoyed his set.  Sure some of the transitions were rough, and yes i do admit that he is part of the reason why my ears are still ringing, but overall it was a good performance. I found myself dancing like mad to the majority of his set (of course it goes without saying that the same applies for Tiesto).  Highlights of Benassi's set (for me) included: "Smack my bitch up" by Prodigy and "Vertigo" by U2.
Marco G. was next, and as he has demonstrated before many nights at Aria, he can still spin a very decent set. Before coming I had been looking forward to Deep Dish, but once the moment came, I passed most of my time in the trance room with Marco. I did enjoy what I heard from Deep Dish although I found some of their stuff too slow, and I was in need of something faster.
I avoided the house room for most of the night, considering that it was full of half naked sweaty men. I don't believe that guys should go in there without shirts. Wait for the right moment, if you feel like you are going to die, then you have permission remove your shirt.  Morales spun a lot of vocal house stuff, much like all of his other sets. The performance for "How Would U Love" was good, and it helped that the dancers on stage were the same dancers on the booklet/flyer.
Peter Rauhofer played a very boring set. Everytime I left Benassi for the house room it seemed as though he was playing the exact same song as the time before. He did use a lot of bass though, which helped, but still didnt make it anything too exciting.
Overall I found that this years BeB rocked, and much fun was had by everyone. A few negatives would be the overcrowded trance room, and VIP, and the serious lack of seating. Also, there may have been something wrong with the sound, because my ears are still blocked/ringing.
I also was wondering if anyone knows who the girl was that stood behind Tiesto the whole time he spun? I think she had curly hair, and she may have been wearing a blue (?) shirt. I cant really be sure at this point, my memory seems to be shot.

Do you know if she is ok or not? Wow, that is really really scary and sad to think about.
