good overall night. got there early, and didn't have to wait in line, which was awesome. saw a few TA's, kris, michelle. kris, nice to get a proper introduction.
desiree - best go go dancer i've seen in years. you really get the crowd going, i don't how you aren't booked for every show
jenna - i thought we had you scared stiff when you came over. next time i have someone meet up with us i know how to dick with them real bad.
armin played:
that unknown matthew dekay track that everyone is going nuts about
edit: oh yeah, he played some remix of so serene... Mark Otten - So Serene (Menno de Jong's Heading South club mix). wasn't a fan |

Okay, I have a few mins so I'll post a quickie review. I had a blast. My first time at On Broadway and I immediately liked the place when I got in there - great ambiance. Boris was playing but it was like 9:30 when I got on and there were 2 people on the dance floor, but they were steadily filtering in. Not a bad set from what I remember. Armin came on around 11:15-11:30ish or so. Immediately everyone smashes to the front. I was in the very front and center and I have to say it was an awesome experience being in such an intimate setting -- I was maybe standing 5 feet in front of him watching him play. The sound actually sucked up there - every time he switched off the monitors it was really quiet... I think most of the music I was hearing was coming from those speakers lol. It was a bit crunched up there, especially because of the RUDE GIRLS THAT TRY TO SMASH IN TO A SPACE IN FRONT OF YOU THAT'S ACTUALLY 1/3 THE SIZE OF THEIR BODY. Other than that I had no qualms. :D I stayed in the front for about an hour before I was feeling claustrophobic and went a bit farther back; upon doing so I was assaulted with booming bass! Almost reminded me of Avalon. Went back up to the front and stayed there til around 1:45 when he stopped.
Summary -
Cool setting, a little pushy but manageable (unlike PvD @ The Mayan).
Armin rocked it, kept the energy high.
On Broadway makes big (weak) drinks.
I had a blast.
Don't ask me to ID any tracks, I don't know the names.
Well, he did play New Order - Confusion ("the Blade song") towards the end and the crowd went wild as usual. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing Shiver in there somewhere too.
Edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot. Met some new cool-ass TA's and saw some cool-ass old ones too :p |

Had a great time. Good scene with it being a special event.
Got down there just after 10 PM. Had to wait in the general admission line with our presale vouchers - it looked like a lot of people did presale. The line went kind of slow, which was annoying when you knew there weren't many people inside. That was one of the things my buddy says he hates about On Broadway - they let you in slow because they want there to be a big line outside so people will notice and think something's going on.
When we got in it was maybe half-full, so we walked around and checked out all the rooms that weren't being used. Cool place but I can see how it would suck if it was really crowded. My same friend said it's taken him 20 minutes to get down the stairs before, so he was stoked about the size of the crowd. It turned out to be just right. Once everyone was in, the smallish dance floor was jammed but once you got off the floor, there was lots of room to get around and get your drinks fast, and plenty of places to sit down if you wanted to take a break.
As someone else mentioned, Armin came on kind of early, maybe around 11:15?
Loved the Shiver remix, he also played some U2 -Where the Streets Have no Name and Police- Message in a Bottle. He played Zocalo early on, and at least one other Shiver track, and umm, I dunno, my memory isn't so good.
The crowd was there for Armin for sure, a huge percentage of the people knew the music and the words. I saw a few boyfriends in the back that were bummin' their girls out by not wanting to do anything but sit like a slug. lol
The giant video wall was kind of cool, but there was a giant sub in there that just destroyed you if you got too close to it. I found myself also trying to find spots on the dance floor where you could hear the song itself.
They turned the lights up around 1:35 and shut the music down around 1:45 AM.
I recognized Sweetcandy but never got a chance to say hi. Didn't know what the rest of you all looked like... so so much for that. I probably bumped into a half dozen of you. :)
Question related to earlier comment. There were 2 go go dancers, but one clearly stood out from the other as not only an incredibly great dancer, but truly seemed to be really loving the event, not just "doing a job." Was that Desiree? Her energy level was so off the chart she was really fun to watch!
As far as work, well, was in bright and early. I'm doing surprisingly well. I think I've been conditioned by my kids to get by without much sleep. :crazy: |
