The secret to my good time that night: wait until the guy at the stairs isn't looking.

Hello to all - two dayz late - but better late then never!
I was there - it was GREAT! Met some new and old Friends! All of you are awesome! Thanks for everything and Mark Oliver and AVB ~ were GREAT! Unfortunatly I still have no voice from the weekend~! boo hoo...
It was steamy in there - I feel like I spent the weekend there~! GREAT stuff
oy, oy, oy fukcin' OY!
**sp on purpose!<---- just in case
So yeah I am going to have a nap now - but just a qwuick mention about not wanting to go out againt here just b/c there isn't enough space to boogie, you really do have to make and maintain your own space... it's just like when you are wal;kin down the street, if someone gets infront of you are you going to move or wait for them - you always have to move - so relax and enjoy and have fun when you party!
I behaved very well this weekend! Those of you seeing me in another state at other time would be proud!
hahaha

| What can I say. Whoaa. AVB never dissapoints. Even with the Guv slam packed he made the night great. I love the way he plays with the crowd and shows emotion. I dont have one bad word to say about his set. It was moving, energetic, smooth I could go on and on. I dont think I will miss another AVB show thats within atleast four hours of here. It was the first time I have really gotten a chance to listen to MO and now I see why everyone loves him. Great sets by both the djs. Great fans in TO. |

| I thought I was gonna have a heart attack when he played clear blue.. :eyespop: the mixing was awsome.. was my first time at the guv its a really nice club if they could just have a little less people and more AC :D I dont think ive ever seen anyone so energetic and so happy to be where he is at 4am then Armin, what a guy. Too bad I had to leave at 5:30ish I would have loved to stay. HOPE HE COMES BACK SOON, I'll be there again for the full set this time ! |

What an amazing weekend I had! I returned to Chicago late last night, after my 12 hour drive from Toronto. My boyfriend and I had a blast! The Guv was amazing. The bass in that place was INCREDIBLE! I've never experience a sound system as intense as it was at Guv. Armin put on a great show! Damn, talk about hard trance! Such a different format from past events that I've been to. As usual, AvB did an amazing set and I definitly had one of the greatest nights of my life.
Also...let me compliment Toronto and the people of the city - YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL! I have never been to a place where the people are sooo NICE! I absolutely loved every minute of my stay and the people of Toronto and fellow clubbers at the Guv sure did make my boyfriend and I feel welcome. I cannot believe the generosity and hospitality of Toronto - you all should be PROUD.
Thank you guys again. I hope to visit Toronto again very shortly. |

Are you speaking of TOTAs? or toronto in general?
one Ill agree upon, the other Ill wonder if you were really here. :)
my review of the night is non existant.
Adrienne got sick(and didnt make it to PvD) so we left early(4 am) after an hour of Armin. Its been 2 months since weve seen him, and itll be another 2 till we see him next. Not life altering.
but he did see the JA TRANCE and gave me big thumbs up (HELLZ YA!)
JA is for all Trance lovers. ;)
Mark Played AMAZINGLY Rock your body rock, cry me a river, murder was the bass...oh man. YOU RULED.
then armin did the strange thing of playing so much harder than Ive ever heard him before. it was strange and NICE! I loved what I was hearing.
complaints
too hot
too packed
the laser was burning my eyes out of my head, sunglasses are a need next time I go to guv. coming home, my eyes were so bloodshot it looked like smoked an oz. to myself. It hurt to keep them open.
I had a good time. Not great. Just good. I was saving for the next night, and didnt really let myself go...so yea. not really appropriate to judge the events. but tooooo packed in there.:whip: |

Ok...more so I should say the fellow clubbers at the Guv. Everyone was extremely nice.
Also....I WILL BE BACK IN TORONTO NOVEMBER 22nd! I just read a thread that Lady Dana is coming. I AM NOT GOING TO MISS THIS! |

Oliver played one of the best sets that i've heard from him in awhile, amazing... i love how he got into some Techno too and did a great job with... "Murder was the Bass" - best Techno track of the year!! Loved hearing it live!! It was also great to hear some tracks that i haven't heard since 98-99.
ARmin Van Buuren... I voted for him to be #1 this year, and after seeing him for the 6th or 7th time live on Saturday night, I still stand by my vote. Armin started off with 2 wicked opening tracks more on the mellow, but trancy side... the second track was amazing kinda on the dark side. His set didn't start off steady thumping right away, which i like because i enjoy sets that build more then bang off right from the get go. Another thing that impressed me once again was that he wasn't so predictable by playing a bunch of newer/ unreleased tracks. Track of the night for me was,
Water Planet pres. Terry Bones vs Fred Baker - "Introspection" (John Askew Remix)
other tracks that he played that night were:
Mr Sam vs Tim Coltrane presents The Tribute - "One more Day" (Original Mix)
Questia - Crystal Clouds
not sure but....Conjure One - Centre Of The Sun (Junkie XL Remix)
Sets ratings for the night:
Oliver: 8.5/10
AVB: 9.5/10
The Negatives:
Capacity level:
OVER CAPACITY!!! IF you have to squeeze between ppl just to get anywhere inside the place then it's over-capacity.
The Dance Performance on Stage:
WASTE OF SPACE!! Justin Timberlake track remake... even bigger waste of negative listing space!
Sound System on Patio:
Horrid... everytime Mark tweeked the high's... you had to plug your ears out there, because it was too ear piercing... no bass at all and full Highs = Deafening. + The sound is off you can hear the delay from the bass in the inside conflicting with the treble from the outside. |

I thought the Storm from X-Men dance was pretty neat.

| Armin was unforgetable. Definitely a moment in time. I had to sit down for a bit during Armin's set but as soon as Seven Cities came on I was like, huh? Very unreal...And immediately had to get up and boogie again. Big ups to the TAs for an amazing time. Apologies for bumping that LED message thingie (u know what I mean). |

I had a great time!
Mark Oliver played really good opening set! and Armin, as usual was ON!!! :eyes:
Unfortunately I left at 6 because I had to rest up because some other DJ was spinning the next night.... :toothless
Tracks of the night for me were:
As The Rush Comes followed by Blue Fear!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
Next time (Q1 of next year? :) ) I have to hear Armin until close!!!
As for the issue of over capacity at Guv....what else is new? I didn't notice any difference from any previous events where a big DJ was spinning...
*** now time to read the PvD review ***
