Well I missed the parade (flight from Chicago to Sac got delayed a day anyways...). I made it to the afterparty at about 8:30~ish and sold my extra ticket for $45 (I know I could have sold it for more, but I didn’t really know :( ).
My friends and I waited at the ticket holders line a little past the toilets, then as the line picked up ppl shoved there way by the metal fence near the front and we all snuck pass the huge line and got in fairly fast after that. :thepirate
Once inside we hung out for Carl Cox which was pretty cool, not a ton of ppl at first and the vibe was so-so but picking up speed slowly and he was rockin it towards the end. Was it me or did he do a few spinbacks to mix in or wahtever :conf: :conf:
My friends and I took a short break, went to the balcony and walked around. Went into the DnB room for a couple of minutes to catch John B, I think it was. The couple of songs I did hear were pretty cool and had awesome beats to it. I saw a guy in a white TA shirt in the middle, but didn’t say hi. (Later saw him in the middle for Markus).
We then walked around and saw Blank and Jones were signing stuff and taking pics out side near where they were selling their T shirts. So we all had them sign stuff and take pics.
Then it was off to catch the last half of Mike Koglin's set. I remember him playing a lot of trancy/anthem kinda stuff. Especially 643, when me and fellow TAs connected. :p :cool: I remember the tall guys name was Stan (easy to remember, but Im blanking on his friends name who I talked with for awhile, sorry man :( )
Then Blank and Jones came on and set up the laptop. They were doing a really trancy set with airy buildups. It was pretty good, I was digging it for the most part. Then the sound got cut in the middle of their set and we all claped and chanted. Then at 1:15 it was off for some water and to get in front for Markus and Ferry.
Markus came on and his set flew by me, I was having a blast. I remember him playing the "sending out an S.O.S.", Open your Eyes, Lots of his usual songs which I don’t remember the names of, and then an awesome piano song about 1/4 the way into his set at 2 AM that sounded new. :eyespop: :crazy: I saw sweet Candy girl in the crowed and her friends with the hearts which was cool. I recognized them from pics from LA events. I saw DaveT for a second too, and said nice camera :p. And met a few more ppl along the way. Then Markus was ending with Without You Near and was signing stuff and I handed him two flyers (one for me and my friend) to sign and he only handed back my friends, so I lost Blank&Jones and Markus's signatures. :mad: :( . But its not that bad, I still had a blast.
Then Ferry came on and tore the place up again (after Markus). He played his songs and some other thrown in, I was busy taking pics. I was disappointed he didn’t play Force of Gravity, but meh. Place went wild when he dropped Punk and others, dont remember much. Half way through his set the Big black guy in the blue coat with dreds (Someone important for Skills I think) pointed to Sweet Candy girl and neinerlove to come on stage and they did which was awesome. :crazy: :tongue3 :eyespop:
Here are some pics of the event:
