last night of conference and i was going into this night with 1 hours sleep from spending my saturday morning/afternoon on the terrace with sander and almost no voice.
i was going to see rank 1, really had a hard decision between this night and lee burridge but i couldn't miss piet. michelle, patrick and i head to the club and drama at the door but finally make it in (thanks to a little trance fairy  )
i knew going in that i had to conserve energy b/c piet wasn't going on until 6 am. got in and dekay was laying down a decent warm up set, nothing spectacular but then what are you to do with the line up that was after him, he was all smiles and seemed to be enjoying himself.
armin was actually hanging out by the bar talking with people and taking pictures and being very gracious! you have to hand it to him, people love him b/c he still seems so interested in talking to his fans and has fun with it and people just eat him up.
saw ferry corsten wondering around and stopped to talk to him for a few with michelle. met tons of TA's and took pics. so bad with names but loved meeting you all. so much fun. then saw sharam from deep dish wondering around as well. gotta love conference for that simple fact, djs of all levels, generes and caliber out and about milling among us mere mortals 
i stuck close to the tables during armin's set not even wanting to brave the impossible packed dance floor and well, his sets just don't do it for me anymore. plus, he dropped life less ordinary and i was like wtf??????? piet is supposed to drop that track. and he managed to drop several other tracks that i'm sure would have been dropped by the next 2 djs. interesting listening to piet and armin have that conversation after armin was done and piet got there. pretty funny looking at armin looking all innocent while piet read tracks from Dark angels phone from his set, lol!
still conserving energy i stayed low during half of markus's set even though michelle kept giving me shit about not being on the dance floor. by now i have completely lost my voice, barely a whisper and peter calling me mute all night just cracked me up.
about an hour left of markus's set i head to the dance floor b/c he is starting to drop the harder tracks i love and i find michelle. the floors still pretty packed but not armin packed so it's danceable. markus's last track drops way down and michelle and i look at each other and are like uh oh, how's piet gonna mix into that one?????? why did we doubt? he stepped up, mixed in flawlessly and we both looked at each other and were like 
this was what i was waitng for! piet's set and the man did not disappoint, never does but i just danced my ass off for 2 1/2 hours!!!! i've said it before, any dj can keep a dance floor packed from 12-3 but it takes djs like piet to keep them there until 8:30 in the morning! like 3 tracks in he drops life less ordinary and i go crazy!!!!! b/c when i saw him when he got there i was like you have to drop that, i don't care that armin did, it will level the place and it did! track after track he took the crowd on an insane ride and didn't leave a survivor in his wake. this is why he's one of my favs! it was so great to end my conference with his set. we said our goodbyes to piet and michelle and i decided to stay to check out danny tenaglia and my God am i ever glad we did!!!!
the crowd quickly changed from sketchy crackheads that were left over to interesting drag queens and lovely gay men all over and michelle and i just kept looking at each other track after track and was like my God, what a sexy house set! i loved it! stayed until about
11:30 am and then i was like opps, gotta a plane to catch. what a shitty day of traveling still a bit hammered and on like no sleep. and NO VOICE!!!! but so worth it.
armada night was tons of fun! hanging with friends, catching some great sets and finishing out WMC in a fine fashion. twilo does have a great sound system and one very nice security/doorman!!!!! lovely way to end conference.

I am still pissed for forgetting my cam...
.. What is there to say about Twilo???? I have been there on good and bad nights. 
You didn't seem to like Armin's set one bit this night, and when I gave you a thumbs up during it, you gave me a thumbs down, and that's what I was calling your ass out on.
