Alright I just got back from spending the weekend at my parents' farm near Guelph, and it took me over half an hour going through so many pages of posts!
I got there early about 10ish, warming up to Mark Oliver. MO knows how to get the crowd started. He should be headlining in one of the rooms, instead of fluff girl on these big nights.
I got to meet a lot of TAs right there at the KH entrance, the RabbitJoker lookalike, Shanny, Laura (you give the best hugz!), Cono_sur, ChemEnhanced, and more first-intros, like Chinamon (whom I've nown from the old LuvTheGuv message board from years ago, jabbin it up with Shaya. And Cuzo, whom I've seen at the Guv for years, and finally had a decent intro. I was bouncing from group to group, as I had some work buddies coming in, as well as other non-TA Guv regulars. Met Sean Cassidy on the patio for a surprise intro while chatting it up with common friends.
For those who PM'd me how did I get the tape....
Back at the KH, running into Sasha and more, and he told me of the story of the confiscated caution tape. I told him let's see what I could do, though he had doubts. First visit to the security checkpoint, the brown box where tape was dumped was gone. We later found out it was dumped securely as they also dumped all the drugs and no-nos. Though I didn't speak to Charles himself, my friend Paul did, and then to the head of security that got the security peons to release it. I guess the explanation that THERE WERE 130+ TOTAs WHO WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TAPE, and what we'd use it for, was good enough. TOTA power!
Around that moment I got to meet and say to Cribby, Cale, Lisa, Ivan, Andrea, Kelly (I'M SO SORRY KELLY, WILL YOU EVER PLEASE FORGIVE ME???), Ivan, Lopi (wowsers, did you lose your wings when you fell from heaven?) MKPasha, TigerLily, Shanny, Angelina (nicer in person!) and SMunky. Sorry if I forgot anyone, so many new names!
A friend of mine (my ex gf actually) lost her group of friends, and been searching for them for an hour, so I helped, and became the one who kept her company most of the night, until we finally found her group, and by that time, never made it back to the KH for the action, as I got sick of squeezing through the sardine can. Folks, always bring your cellphone so you can text in case you get lost.  I h8 those nights where we're totally packed and can't move around or dance properly.
So, for me, it was a so-so night, and wish I could have stayed in one area the whole night. I know I missed a lot, but I've seen most of the acts before so I only have my good memories to feel what was it like, but I'll see em all next time!
