ohhhhh my god I don't even know where to start.
My fingers aren't working properly today cuz I'm so dead tired and drained but in a good way!!
I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH FUN IN MY LIFE!! I honestly can't find the words to describe it. My head is still ringing from standing up at the DJ booth, but I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else!!
This was my first experience at VIVA, but oh man, it was amazing. I got a ride in with Aaron, Barry and Lisa, we picked up Airwave and got to the club around 10 ish, to do sound check and make sure everything was working. It was really cool to check out the behind the scenes bit, since I'd never been to a place like that before (I consider Docks to be something else). It was a little weird to be like, one of the first people there, but it gave me a good chance to look around.
Barry let me listen in on his interview with Airwave, that was fun. We got back inside just as Aaron began his set. More people were comin in, sayin hi, enjoyin themselves - I can't remember the order I saw people in first, but I'll do my best to shout out to everyone (don't hold it against me if I forget anyone!!)
Gah! Anyways, I was up at the bar by the time Aaron's set got way into it, and feelin pretty good by the time Tygon started spinning. Must say THANK YOU to Lindsay, Avery and Carl for buying me drinks! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARL!!!!!!!!!
I can't remember exactly when I got out on the dance floor, but I do know that once I got out there, I couldn't leave! It was so amazing to be up there and bustin a move. The music was great (I am not experienced enough to know a lot of the songs, but if they make my feet move, they rock!), the people dancing up there were great, and I'm sorry if I stepped on or hit anybody while I was dancing!! Thanks to Martin for letting me use his glow sticks, that was fun!
Aaron, Lisa, Lindsay, Airwave and me left around 5, when Airwave was done his set (which friggin rocked). We hung around outside for a little bit saying goodbye to everyone, but as soon as I was in that car, I was asleep. Fastest ride home from Markham EVER haha! Got in around 6:15, slept until 1 pm. I'm lazy and I love it!
Okay, now for the shout outs... and remember, awishabear had a bit to drink, and it was dark so don't get mad!! Aaron, Barry, Jayx1, Dennis, Carl, Tim, Matt, Dan, Cale, Lowell (and wife), Avery, Alex, Justin (and friends) and Fahad! Ohmygodyourock! I know I'm forgetting people and if it's obvious I'm forgetting you, you can hit me later. I LOVE YOU ALL!
Alright, it's about time I get some food into me. I can't WAIT to go back to Viva someday and hopefully I'll see everyone out next next Thursday at Vault - I'm headin home for my mom's birthday this week, so I won't be there, but I'll be there in spirit!
Thanks to everyone involved in this awesome event, to Aaron for getting me so involved in this music and these people, I will never forget it, and can't wait for next time!!
