i was a bit "worried" at the beginning of tiesto's set, thinking that it was either very slow or me being too sober. then sometime after an hour, it finally took off. mixing was spot on, track lengths good, etc.
spent too much time waiting in line for drinks as usual, so just did double shots on the next couple visits. stopped by the other rooms and would have stayed a bit longer in each but they were just too empty. made sure to check in on derrick carter.
strobes were very cool, but almost excessive and consequently under-appreciated. i would have wished for just two or three of those rare epic light explosion moments, something that adagio could have probably gotten. closest to tiesto-scale-epic-grandness was gouryella, which i watched from the balcony, and looking back at the video that was posted, it was indeed awesome. since the lighting was so directional from the stage, the sea of people down below looked amazing. finished up a few people over from where the headphones landed. overall good stuff and would have been thrilled with the night but there have just been too many other awesome shows this summer to compare this to.
after the show, stopped by jack in the box, saw long line at 1015, went to the car to refill for a moment but ended up just burning some time, and went to end up for about the last hour of reggae gold. house music started around 530am so i could finally burn off the dancing that i didn't have room to do at tiesto.
