So I really really really needed to study but I opted to go. Sober night, with the plan to leave at 4, which is exactly what we did. Me and my partners in crime (Ryan aka. mindspin, Nema, John, Sheena, Mike, Palmer) got to the club just as Luke Chable was coming on and wow he was throwing it down. His style was a very uplifting progressive house with heavenly vocals and beautiful synth lines.
Then came on Dave Seaman. I've seen Dave spin a few times before and he's hit or miss. Last night, definately a hit. Anyone who believes they can ID a track, I've got a short video clip that needs the track ID'ed for me. SO good.
Yah, me and my friends checked out Harry for a bit. Not long at all though. The Drink was exceptionally crowded when we got there around 1:30 to hear the start of his set. It was warm in some places, kinda cool in others, but the smoke machine was TOO much. The beats were good but we didn't have room to dance so we opted to get back into the Kool Haus for some Dave Seaman.
We got back to Seaman only to see the Tranceaddict corner diminishing. Still grooved for a while before me and my buds headed into the Guv to meet up with our 4 other friends for the opening of Ferry's set. The guv was packed, it smelled god aweful (only notice it when you're sober) and after one excellant track, the rest of ferry's opening wasn't enough to keep me in the Guv.
Now, back to the Kool Haus to hear who I wanted to hear....GRAYAREA
They came on with a bang and one of the sweetest breakbeats I've ever heard. I love the breaks and these just resonated through me and they pumped new energy into my system. Grayarea are not only talented but fun to watch live too. Despite all these positives, there was one negative that put down the ENTIRE set of theirs.....sound. From my understanding, they didn't arrive at the club in time to do a sound check, and while seaman was playing, they still hadn't arrived in Toronto. They made their 3 o'clock set time in the nick of time. The lack of soundcheck dissapointed me greatly as I was on the dancefloor feeling my hearing diminishing. BRUTAL. The vocals were too high they sounded like squeeks and the bass was so distorted. I've waited so long to hear them live and it got to the point that I couldn't bare the damage to my ears. Had to leave.
So we burned a doob and left the club. My buddy Nema was dead tired and he was driving so we couldn't say no. We walked out of the club with a smile from ear to ear on every one of us saying "wow, what an unexpectedly awesome night, this sober thing is great".
Wicked running into and seeing alot of TA's.
Jamie (Jem_Hadar): man you were fucked. Half the time you'd move in to talk to me you'd headbutt the side of my face. LOL.
Andrea (chanoa): So hot, so fluid, you exemplify everything that is eye candy. You're such a sweety too.
Alex (ub3rtrancer): wow man, you're a solid dancer, good seeing you too
Lars (Peppie Chick): Always a pleasure, loved the hat.
Eric (VividBoy) and Marco (Rodrico): Good times chillin with you guys in line. When we parked, I saw a new civic drive by and recognized eric, wasn't certain though till 5 minutes later when you join us in line.
RJ (rabbitjoker): Thanks for the shaving tips.
Aaron (DJ Celica): thanks for the pics man, solid!
Liam (DJ EL KAY DEE): Thanks for kicking me in the leg fu.cker
LOL, the best part is, you got me 4 times and I kept looking right over you trying to find out who's kicking me. You short SOB (no offense to short people, I love you all)
All the other TA's: [NFC]Wave (Scan and post the autograph card), DJ Kandaio, DancingQueen, Cuzo, dance2dabeat, drgoodvibe (Can't wait to see your pics), E2EKIAL, Shaya (hope the person in the ambulance was alright), fayraree (Excellant vibe dude, and believe me, that picture thread made me more familiar with faces than I ever though possible), Highroller, Shanny, StereoPrincess, SurrJRS, fn_xtc, Tordan, Cale, nadezhda, Spankmeister, music_snob_not, Gamma, I hope I didn't miss anybody. Blue. - I saw you from a distance but didn't know for certain, I shoulda said hi. I think you were leaving around the same time as me. photon_trance (senko): I'm pretty sure I saw you in the kool haus smoking pit but once again, didn't say hi, my bad.
Note about the LKD fiasco: LKD's can actually be a really nice guy, he was nice enough to invite me to dinner with Zabiela, and from a post above, he was nice enough to buy Rodrico a drink. I think instead of a handshake, he's got a destructive side to him when intoxicated, but he's just horsing around. Sometimes that can be a lot to tolerate, but you gotta look beneath the surface of it.
