I was there too. I have to honestly say this has had to be the worst clubbing experience I have ever had...!! Rude ass people in a over packed place, and the place felt like a sauna. It got to the point where I actually had a really hard time breathing. I had to leave Armins set for a while to get a breather in the hip hop room. For the first time, I wanted to leave cause it was too packed and too hot. I wish it could have been at 4th and B, if I knew Belo was this bad.

Other than that, Armins set was killer, just tune after tune. I was expecting a two or three hour set, but wasn't expecting a four hour set; but I'm not complaining. Of course it was really hard trying to get into the music with people bumping into me all the time. I just hope other people had a better time than I did.

Maybe I'm too used to that. Ever try to see Flogging Molly for St. Patrick's Day? Ugh. The density was almost 2x what Belo was. Actual pressure on all sides, where a push from 50 feet away would move you. People peeing where they stood (was outside in the gaslamp). It was a nightmare.

I know the first one was love you more. I left after that though.

It was my first time going to Bello and it's probably the last for big events. It's a nice place but just not for big events. Like others have said, it was WAY TOO CROWDED and like a sauna in there. Part of the problem is that the two openings into the room are in the far back on either side so there was a constant flow of people trying to move past the crowded main floor to get to either side which led to the shoving and bumping. Like Sweetcandy Girl said, it seemed like the crowd was kind of rude, bumping into you, elbowing you while jumping up and down, etc. without a sorry or anything. Plus, the sound in the room was so underwhelming as well. No earplugs necessary Anyone that only goes to Bello should really take a trip up to LA and check out the sound at Vanguard. Big difference.
Anyways, it was nice to see Armin having a great time spinning as usual and it was great that he went on at around midnight since he's been playing shorter sets the last couple of times he's been in LA.

Sorry about the triple post earlier... damn glitched board decided not to show me my post... lol.

Anyways... I know SD isn't LA. That's my point... we compare city-to-city party scenes, but really every city has their own scene and its kind of pointless in my eyes. We can compare venues overall, and I guess atmosphere and all... I jsut hate seeing how "shit" the San Diego scene is. To be frank... the ones who have to get out there and change it are all of us right here, talking about it. We're just so into the music we usually get too lazy to do anything. lol

I had a great time, I wont go denying that. The venue just isn't meant for that level of famous artist. It was nice when Markus played I thought, but Armin's fame and ability to throw a good party and all just smashed that venue.

Kath: You were at the bar in the Orange Room when we were leaving. Josh told me we might have to stay but I told him they weren't going to be letting people in to Armin for a while due to the whole legal issue and we left. Sorry about that. I was the guy in Jeans and a light blue shirt behind Josh, standing by the arch while he talked to you I think. I wasn't having a good night at that point due to a small argument I had with my gf in the club about 30 mins earlier. Sorry about that.

As per some of the rest of you. I saw you around but didn't know TA was even doing any meetups lol. I recognized the O2C buddies there, and I remember the guy in the red Armin shirt (I can't find your post man! I'm blind!) while we all waited in the GL line. lol.

Sounds like everyone had a good time!

ok, i just do not get san diego. i'm sorry. but seriously....i met some real cool TA's on friday, but wtf is up w/ the majority of peeps there? attitudes left and right, pushing, elbowing, FUCK THAT! this stuff NEVER HAPPENS IN LA. people in san diego need a lesson in dance floor etiquette. NOW! i've never had a worse experience at a club than last friday at belo!

i realize LA is not perfect by any means, but i almost got into 2 fights, and my friend observed two girls fighting (pulling hair, etc) on the dance floor!!!

i love san diego, but c'mon!

Even though it happened at Vanguard it wasn't an EDM night so there was a different crowd there. I think that Friday at Vanguard was a Hip Hop night?
