OK, so, I get to Bell Centre and find out my ticket was a fake one.  So I had 1 hr and 20 mins to go home, get more cash, come back, purchase the ticket, find my friends and get on that dancefloor before midnight hit  I was scared...very scared. But I made it. I got there at around 11:20pm (perfect timing) and it all went smoothly from there. 
This was my 1st rave and I really tried mentally prepping myself for what I was gonna experience. I shouldn't have bothered. Such an overwhelming feeling when you walk through those curtains and see ALL THOSE FKN CLUBBERS! 
Paul Oakenfold was spinning (if u wanna call it that). I didn't go for him but still, he played a track, he chit-chatted, he did a basic, highly simplistic transition into the next track and he chit-chatted some more. Repeat this for 2 hours. The only time I remember him feeling it was a few minutes after midnight: he was jumping and waving his hands around (maybe he did a line? LOL Cokenfold...) I've said it before, I'm a house girl but I appreciated trance a lil more when I left that party. U2 - With or Without You gave me goosebumps. He played Traffic *yawn* but it was sickkkkkk to hear it at a rave.
Franco Fabi was highly impressive from what I remember. It was him that dropped Du Wut U Du right? I was sitting in the stands when I heard that come on, it was like shit! This song! At a rave? SWEET! This huge collective massive sound came from the crowd when the biggest drop in the song hit. It was so nice...
STEVE LAWLER = GOD and I don't give a shit what any of you say. The ONLY and I mean ONLY bad thing was that he didn't stay the whole 5 hours. He played roughly 3 hours and it was really insanity. That plus more tribal would have been nice too but he's moved away from tribal towards electro and he's still a God. He played a few tracks from Lights Out Vol. 3. And if you guys didn't have the 'connection' with him that night, I feel bad, very bad for you...CUZ I DID 
Steve Lawler played these tracks from his latest album:
1) Moogment - Alex McCulloch
2) Creaky Thoughts (Original Mix but without vocals) - Anja Schneider
3) Obsessive Sound - Alex Dolby
4) Hugs N Kisses - Criss Source
Stephane Lippe...I knew he was good from what people have told me. I really liked what he played (very dark dirty underground beats) but his style wasn't consistent. (That's what I love about Lawler, u know it's him spinning by his sound). He kept me dancing for a good 2 hours and then I had to rest  I didn't want to but I started feeling pain hehehe...
One thing which was not needed was that guy Marcus007 mentionned who overdosed. I was dancing with Marcus007 and his crew, and all of a sudden, the guy ceases everything, drops to the floor and begins to convulse uncontrollably. Not to mention the foaming at the mouth. Poor guy...I wanted to cry I was so scared...
I left at around 9:30amish. Big smiles to all the people who I partied, danced with and saw there. Max, I know you tried telling me how good it was gonna be, but now I know that words can't express that feeling  I'm so happy about my 1st rave experience all together. And I can't wait to dance again 
My right leg is totally fkd.  After 13 hours of that kind of dancing, I'm surprised I'm not dead hehehehe...
Oh yeah, my night didn't end there. At 9:45am, I was in a cab going to see Howells at Aria...check my review out on that thread...
