I have just recieved and email from David Lewis, Armin's agent from the Netherlands. He says:
"We have not booked any flights yet, but I know Armin would love to have a gathering on August 30, 2003. Please let me know where the gathering will be and I will make sure he will turn up.
Best regards,
David Lewis"
So we need a general consensous (sp?) on where and what to eat. I know Kailya says pizza but what about everybody else? Also I think it is a good idea to limit the # of people going to make the gathering a little more intimate. Also for ease of reserving a table for a large group at a restraunt. I'm thinking 25 max? TA's let me know what you think on this. If you would like to go, please PM or email me.

That would be great if we could have a meet up, especially since it's the day after my b-day :)
I say we take Armin to 'The Weiner Circle' and have him get in a shouting match with the employees :p
Or I could talk to my friend who works at a nice restaurant downtown and see if he could get us some sort of deal ? |

depending on the numbers, that chicago pizza grindery on clarke was absolutely wicked. really good stuff.
otherwise wherever everyone else wants to go. I'll survive price, location etc.
But sounds like a good time :) |

| Great to see this is working out!:D I definitely think pizza is a very good idea. I dunno what the best place to go for it is though. But that is my suggestion also. |

from fellow TA mod.. J_Spot
The way the meetup went was actually very little to do with me(besides the idea, place, and well...posting in #Armind, and on his forums) Another Member(Vanilla) called his N.american manager(David Brady), and set stuff up thru him. Dinner was well...I was late(work) and nobody actually ate dinner. Armin had a meeting w/ his manager, and the Benson and Hedges reps(who threw the party) and ate up there, while we waited in the private room.
Armin was really cool about it. He thinks we are amazing(TAs) and cant believe how devoted and knowledgeable we are about trance. The final count for how many showed was 15-20. Armin actually had more ??? for us than we did for him. I think metting him some other day would be different, he was exhausted after Sensation, flying across the world etc. Still, he signed all the autographs, took the pictures, listend to our jokes, and then during the show, egged us TAs on(taking up front stage, to scream, get our hands up, dance etc) He toasted to us, singled us out and all that sort of stuff. While we are all his fans, he is ours. For real. If he told Art he was interested, I bet he shows up. Make a thread, post on his forums, post in #armind during ASOT, see if Fox can msg him to let him know.
and if he comes out say Ja. I am the international Ja recruiter.
ja Trance is a collective of ppl in calgary who live trance. ja is a style of trance. Dutch epic makes you cry and orgasm all at the same time. we worship pvd, avb, Ferry and tiesto(of old). I think fox is the newest member, and if you meet up w/ Armin and say Ja, you too can be a member.
really its an inside joke from a local msg board, that turned into a banner, that turned into something cool.
I think meeting up w/ Armin, be it for drinks, dinner, or just to chill is a great idea. based on our meeting, he would definetly be interested.

How cool would it be if the same thing happened to us? If we got to hang in the DJ booth @ Vision and in VIP?
Do you think it would be rude to bring Armin a copy of my track I'm working on for the dinner? Last thing I want to do is come off as a jerk :p |

if it's quality..why not?
remember how armin loved fellow TA Robert Nickson's remix of Rain of Emotion ...then played it on his ASOT and in some of his sets?
it all depends on how good u think ur track is! |

Worst thing that could happen is he doesn't accept it. But atleast you tried. If it were me, I would. But then again, there is a place to send in your music to him.... So I mean yeah, do what you want!!! :) I would give it to him with a gift :)
hey pork, ya know those can all be one post :)
If you will be able to come, please post what you would like to eat.
I honestly think that Armin would enjoy a dinner at one of Chicago's famous pizza parlors. Gino's East is not far from the venue and is great pizza in my opinion. |
