Looks to me like this was one waaaaaay too hyped up party. Glad I didn't waste 45+. I'm sure Cox stole the show as usual but hes been here a few times this year already... Techno = ZZzzZZzzZZzzzzzzz ... Hawtin belongs in Detroit where his minimalist techno can be more appreciated.. they would have gone apeshit to have a linep like Hawtin, Maas and Cox all in one night... Guvy loves their prog house/trance... generally speaking..

IMO Without a doubt the best party of the year was Labour Of Love... It's kinda sad to see that Guv's Anniv wasn't bigger and better than LoL.. oh well, theres always 2006... and for those who are going to say "the year isn't over yet"... still I don't think anything will top LoL. That night was just f#$%ing ridiculously amazing, but I guess we'll just have to wait and find out :P

Bums.

Both of you.

I am glad you had a great time at LoL. But remember one thing, each to their own. I for one think last night topped LoL in many ways. Music, crowd, etc. But that is my personal opinion. You may not like Techno, but there are other people who swear by it. The same goes for Trance. Thus generalizing that spending $45+ towards last night would not be commendable. We have to appreciate the talent that comes to Toronto. Pure top class. Not trying to start any flames, just something to think about.

I got in, (no need to grease bouncer) it was beautiful.

I really went to see Coxy but I think Timo was the bomb!

Maybe I was tired when I got to Cox

Got home at 8:40


Mmmm.....

Hopefully soon I'll get to know more TOTA's and actually MEET some of you.

Just by the review posts is what I am generalizing my bias towards... looks like all the techno fans loved off the night but generally it seemed like most people were expecting A LOT more... maybe not? ME personally spending $45+ on that night would have been a waste of money... not necessarily anyone else.

lee burridge, the best set...its hard to say if it was better than his set last year in system but it was great...meant for hte larger system

for some STRANGE reason, D-Monic kept trainwrecking...

all rooms had great music playing, lots of familiar tracks but i think im the ONLY one to find the vibe "hollow" last night...it was just SO lacking

id give this party a 3/10 for that

I think maybe I saw you there?...

definatley a techno party.

By far the best set i've ever heard Carl Cox play was last night.

"Good Morning Toronto!" = Carl Cox

plently of room to dance, washroom walks wern't too bad, not alot of smoking inside, line up was quick...can't complain about anything.

I was half hoping that Maas and Cox were going to put on a little show together when he came by the second time....

Great Night.

LOL

I always that you were Jennypie on Ta. My bad...

down with TA names!

TORONTO MUST HAVE JOHANNES HEIL!!!!!

SOMEONE ARREST CARL.....CAUSE HE KILLED ME.

I got there at 10 and met up with Tyler in the guestlist line...always great to see you again. Sat in line for a half hour waiting to get in so I could take a piss. The first have hour was all about taking a piss.

Went over to KH and MO was warming things up and as always he delivered although I just wasn't in the dancing mmod yet. Spent the first hour just saying hi to people. Met so many new TOTAs I think my head is gonna explode....I think we all need business cards with our photos on them for night like that.

Went to the tent to catch a little Sydney action....I love this woman...she knows how to get a party rockin.

Went back into KH....don't know who was spinning....it was probably around 1 so I am sure you all know who was spinning. I was front and centre trying to get hyped up for the night.

At this point some lady comes up to me and is like

"Hi, you look like a Josh....I am going to call you Josh tonight"

I'm like "Sure, mmmmm, okay, whatever"

She then goes on to introduce about 10 people to me and advising them all that I am josh.

Went over to Guv around 2:30 to catch a little Hawtin before Carl....Hawtin was good but no real energy level. I think they need MO to take over just to get the crowd ready for what Carl was going to do to them.

So carl comes on and he starts laying down some sick beats. I was lucky enough to find an area where it wasn't too crowded so I didn't think it was all that bad and I had more then enough room to move. I knew carl was going to own me when he played that one track with Metallica in it. I was sold at that point. Moral Hazard.....I don't know where he was most of the night but around 6 he finds me in the Guv and wants to know if I am ready to go....I tell him 10 more minutes....well ten minutes turned into another hour and by 7 we left with beats still going through my legs.

Overall....it wasn't an overly exciting night for me until Cox got on but it was still a great night.

As always you have the shirtless wonders but I have gotten to the point where I just move them along and keep dancing. I did see some chick deck a guy who was trying to pick her up. I don't know what he said but she slugged him hard....Good For her.
