sounds like you had fun, I am not really upset that I ended up not going to this, there was no way I was gonna spend $45 to see Oakey play a 2 hour set!

My only regret was that the crowd was chock full of ginos and other really jacked up, high, and full-of-themselves people... I'm claustrophobic to an extent as well, but I still managed to enjoy myself.

I guess the lesson I've learnt in the past is that if there are tickets on sale before hand... get your hands on them... especially if it's a well known act like Oakenfold. Even the ginos will pretend that they like Oakenfold, and they'll come out just because it's cool.

Having bashed them so much, SOME ginos were surprisingly polite. If you step out of the way for them, they give you a pat on the back and say thanks... but if you stand in their way, they think that you wanna start a fight and they two-handedly push you away (lol).

In retrospect, Oakenfold's set was REALLY good. I don't know if people agree, but he played his fair share of uplifting tunes, coupled in with REALLY banging progressive trance (not progressive house). The breaks in the end (which Max continued) included a Breaks remix of Dirty Vegas - Days Go By (Don't know which remix, someone can help perhaps?)...

I lost the plot a few times, with tears as well!

Cheers

what else is new, the whole thing about ginos is so tired. I am actually getting sick of even me complaining. Yeah there are some nice people but there are some assholes too!

BTW about buying advance tickets, that's not true you always risk when you buy an advanced ticket, take a look at Wintergalactic for example! And they had big names like Marco V and what not. But what ever, there are always pros and cons to buying tickets early or late.

About Oakey's set I am surprised that his whole set wasn't just breaks, because this is what he's been into as of late. That remix of "Days Go By" I think is just called a "Dub Remix" at least that's what one of his playlists said.

I agree.....Oakenfold was amazing last night..he spun a lot of good trance tunes which i cant remember for the life of me, but when he spun CJ Bolland- the Prophet, there was a string of 3 or 4 killer classic tunes.
Max Graham was fantastic as well...When he dropped "Airtight" the crowd went nuts....
I thought the crowd was pretty good though.....not as many cracked out asians as a Saturday night...and I wouldnt even call those shirtless monsters "Ginos", theyre just juice pigs who are there to waste time before the gym opens at 9am. Ive never seen them cause any problems....the girls there were so hot , albeit the guy to girl ratio was around 10 : 1 .......they were the hottest in Skybar.
One thing i didnt like was that all of the ppl that hung out outside seemed like they were just there to chill and talk, noone was partying on the Guv patio, and skybar cleared out early.....
The true partiers stuck it through the heat and danced right in the centre of Guv. I was in and out all throught the night.....climbed so many frickin stairs..
All in all , great night though, definitely worth the 35 beans!

Someone needs to make a sticky gino thread in this forum specially made for the TO peeps, lol .. it could have all the complaints, rants, flames, FAQ, etc. almost every review from the Guv has a post about them and then the topic changes gears.. with this sticky thread maybe threads like these can stay on topic

It sort of really amuses me that whenever you see one of these guys you classify him as a "gino." I think you guys are just all being a little jealous...I mean these guys are the ones who are getting all of your girls hehehe...Am I a biatch? love, partyprincess P.S...I had a kickass time dancing it up all day and all night for Pride...What a great crowd it was!!!

Amazing!
this is true....Ginos go to Paparazzi and Palazzo, and possibly Guv Saturdays......Saying that A gino is a good lookin, well dressed, well built guy however, is far from the truth......
The muscle heads....do not listen to freestyle, and they bang hot chicks, where as Ginos drive I -rocs and cruise the streets for high school girls.....
Bizz......Start that thread.......best idea ever!!!

Oakenfold simply put on a show. His set last night totally changed my view on what kind of a dj this man really is. As most of you have already mentioned, pounding tracks were being thrown back and forth. Really enjoyed the breaks.The people were generally cool, not too much sketch. It was great to run into NRG2infinite, trancegeek and justin. All in all, i couldn't of have spent my birthday any better way.


peace,
Dave

that's another reason I did not want to go, last time at Armin I was soaked in sweat! You should have seen me! I mean where the hell did that huge fan go??? What the hell is up with the ventilation @ the GUV!

Read this thread to get all your gino questions answered...

..but you're on accurate on some accounts, as you'll see when you read that, heh.

After staying up all night Saturday partying, then watching World Cup finals and then celebrating Brazil's championiship on Sunday.. wandering around the city for the rest of the day and hitting a house party last night, I was totally exhausted at 4 am, after not sleeping for almost 48 hours.
I was in no shape for Guvernment to say the least...
Don't regret missing that party either.

Trancegeek? Fantom? I wanna hear your opinions (=
