Heres my review...
The meet-up was fun, interesting. I really didnt say much to anyone else (im sorry) met lunasea and indy when they arrived. my bowl of ramen noodles that i ordered was neverending, it seemed. It was interesting talkin to Tom and Maribel from San fransico. Those guys were really cool and i kept seeing them in the club. So hats off again to peter for getting those reservations.
So after everyone leaves, matt and i stop at a 7-11 and get some red bull then head into DC. And once we get on Constitution Ave we come to a dead halt! :whip: bumper to bumper 5mph until we got down to 6th street! and then it took us another half hour of circling glow till we found a spot! Damn MCI center and their "hockey" games! heh heh jk. we finally found some people walking to their car so matt rolled down his window and asked if they were leaving. they said yes so we crawled behind them and they left and we took their spot. as we were pulling in Reuben and Tiffany drove by, they hadnt found a spot yet and were pretty mad.
So we go get our tickets, stay in line for like 5 minutes and we're in the club. It was packed, yes, but I mostly stayed to the back where there was a lot more room, plus the fans there cooled me down a lot. Edgar was playing a pretty progressive set( i couldnt Id any of his tunes) than Paul came on and he pretty much owned the rest of the night.
I didnt have a watch or my cell phone so I have no idea when he started or when he stopped but it seemed like the night flew by. I bumped into Brian and peter and ryan too. It was pretty fun, and apparently when i was dancing i elbowed tiffany in the boob but i didnt notice..so i had to give her a hug. Sorry tiffany!!
I also thought it was pretty funny seeing Arturo walking through the crowd and then the next time i saw him he was up in the DJ booth sipping on a drink :stongue:
Towards the end i saw some people from the Glow forum there, it was pretty nice talking to them. One funy part is when Brian ran around and showed us the picture he took of this girl whose boob fell out! That was so funny! lol
Well heres my REVIEW OVERALL.. PvD was great, i expected nothing but the best from him and he delivered.. His mixing was impeccable and he knows how to get the crowd dancing. But heres why i wasnt too impressed. Basically we all know Glows sound system sucks. (my ears are still ringing) that we know.. that made it a little horrible but my whole thing about last night was that Ive been reading all the reviews of Paul van Dyk at other places and i read the Tracklist and say "man itd be cool when i hear some of these songs when he plays glow" Well the thing is is that i felt like i predicted his set. Like i told matt that he will play crush, ATRC, TOOL, Nothing but you and aftershokk.. and he did. I mean i had fun listening to and singing along to all his tracks..but I felt that he's playing the same set wherever he goes. I wanted some more variation or surprises thrown in.
I agree with everyone that said that PVD in December was better..coz i think bak then his set wasnt so predictable.
But other than that I had a great time dancing and meeting everyone. Sorry to anyone i may have forgotten. Lets get some of those pics posted! |

Oh yeah, and Brian(vtec junkie) told me that he heard that Edgar V had a hard time getting in because they didn't know that he was one of the DJs. So thats why he ended up starting 30 or so minutes late. The bouncers are ridiculous =P. If anyone can confirm this, it'd be great.

Frank (gqntrance) was in line when this happend and seen it all. |

arrrgh! I just got off a 9 hour shift and have espresso burns on my hands! :whip:
anyhow...
I really enjoyed the meetup @ Cafe Asia. I am proud to say that it was the best turnout for a dc-area TA meetup to date, saw lots of new faces and friends there, and had a great time. Hope to see more meetups like this in DC in the future :)
I left my house around 10:20pm for glow...didn't realize that DC was in one giant state of gridlock at that time...took me about 45 goddamn minutes to get to Glow through rediculous traffic on Constitution Ave...jeesus, I didnt think we had that many goddamn hockey fans around here...:whip: :whip: :whip:
then it took me another 45 ing minutes driving around a 4 block radius of Glow to find parking. I managed to get inside Glow a little after 12, and I think that's only cause I work there and didn't have to get a ticket/wait.
Now as for Glow...I think it was even MORE packed than it was last time for PVD...this was ing rediculous.
way way way way way too ing crowded, made the whole thing unenjoyable...no matter how brilliant his set is, it is hard to have a fun time when your feet are getting stepped on, you are geting elbowed in the head/stomach, and some kind of liquid (god I hope it was water) keeps dripping on your ing head every goddamn second!!!!!
PvD came on at about 1:40am, played till about 5:10am.
I love Paul's set, I thought it was fantastic, sure he played a lot the same songs he's been playing in the past 2 months, but let's face it...thats what DJ's do when they are on a promotional tour. And if we all weren't such huge PvD freaks who download all his sets and watch his tracklists and stuff, this set woulda been pretty breathtaking!
SO yeah, I thought his set was off the hook...but the whole experience as a whole sucked balls...
just once I wish I could see PvD in a setting that is not like that...*sigh*
I felt like a damn chicken in a crate stuffed in with 20 other chickens that you see go past you on a truck on the highway..
:whip:
ok well, I'm rambling. Great seeing everybody, Edgar V's set was nice, and lets all pray that Glow moves to a new venue SOON!
im out |

here's my review:
The meetup turned out very nicely and it was great to see everyone again as well as new friends. I think turnout was somewhere around 25 ppl. The sushi I had was good and perhaps next time we will have another meetup there.
Besides the horrendous traffic jam getting to Glow and the non existing "VIP" line, I had a great time. Edgar V was literally tearing the place up and the stereo system was bangin his set. I have to admit, after listening to PVD's set, I wasn't really into it since it was pretty predictable, and personally, hes way too shy of a dj for me. But i still had a great time.
Sunday, I spent half the day recovering thanks to kimmi for the 2 shots of tequilla and double shot of 151. HAHAHAHAH
hope everyone had a safe trip home! |

:toothless Well I had no problem getting in since me and Brian where tha first ones in ther (Thanks Vtec Junkie)
Well as for the night ,I finally got to see you kool people from TA . Hey Peter, Indy and all you ther guys (Sorry If I don't Remeber your name)Well as for the the rest of the night Dan Sampson really rocked it for the opening ,plus he was chilling in the crowd (Awesome for him to do that) Well I as for Edger V ,he set was not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, but that Mobica nd Missy remix was fantastic. Yeah it got crowd at the end of his set. I saw some of you TA's like 3-5 each hour lol. Yeah but it went bonkers when PVD cameout.
I couldn't move anymore and it was my first time I had trouble smoking my Black N Milds. People kept stepping on my shoes and getting drinks to some struggling since I kept getting into peoples way. But what do you expect from a place that small. Some people had no reason being there.If you are a PVD fan or your in trance then kool, But not get the out.Well I didn't mind hearing those tracks 2 time again since the first I was getting drinks and using the bathroom.Well PVD was awesome ,since I just got into PVD this year. So his set was fair enough and it was a Promotional Tour so that was kool (he did up in the middle but hey hes only human).
Now I am sorry for out of Towners. I wish you could have a great time. Now when Tiesto was ther it was packed but you had room to dance and there was true fans and it was my best day of my life. Well it was Excellent night with some minors problems
Hope to see you TA people again at Tiesto in November :gsmile: |

K now i'm a little tired...hehe 1:30 and we're still dancing.. I had about 3 separate groups of friends meeting up there.. ben & mo crew... ta's.. and personal friends... so it was totally great to just be all over and always be surrounded by friends!!
Thanks peter for the work you put into the meetup.. appreciate it!!.. Yum Nur.. dude that tai food hit the spot!!... it was great meeting everyone...always nice to know you have people to chill with when you walk into a club!!
Glow as a venue sucks..we know this.. so i have no real grips cuz i knew that it would be like that..
It only took us 20min to make it up there but thanks to friends up by the stage.. we were right in front of Paul when he first stepped on...
But as one of my friends quoted.. the begining was great.. but the middle of his set had something to be desired for.. i found it predictable..
I wanted to dance.. tooo packed .. nations would be sooo much better for this.. we were back by the bar for awhile.. infact i was very excited when Edgar V came back on at the end of the night and people were leaving.. cuz yeah.. i got to keep dancing.. and wait.. have room to do so...
to my peeps.. bunny girl again., your dancing completes me.. eddie.. dude your styl ROCKS!!... BR.. ALWAYS your biggest fan! kisses... Glittergrl - girl thanks a million!!... beema we always give you a shout out... mario - dude awesome to meet you!... ben & mo crew.. i know you dudes are reading this.. HAHAHA.... LUV YOU!! Dwayne... dude you rock! thanks for everything.. see you all next week for Deep Dish.. YEAH! |

Oh Yeah and a few things Big ups to Edgar V for his second set at the end of the night, I might just go to Glow from now on for him.Damn those Glow speakers, I never ed my ears uo like this before, such a small place doesn't need these that loud. And for real I honestly for bad, for you out of towners,if anything you great people should have deserve better. Well try to be here for Tiesto in November 1st if you can make it.It wasn't crownd the first time but it might be crownd the second time just like PVD's second time.
:D :p |
