Armin blew me away, yet again. Those of you saying that you wish that he would play more like his weekly ASOT are not going to get that in a big room like that. A set like that would make people fall asleep. I loved that he threw in Clocks and ended with Who's Watching. I stopped dancing only once to wait the oh-so-long line up out to use the ONE bathroom stall in the chicks bathroom.

You might have been too tired or maybe it was some other influence :toothless, but Armin finished with a type of dub version of Without You Near... |

| wo Armin didn't end with Who's Watching...Clocks was near the end thought. Anyway the only thing I didn't like about Armin was at the end when he got near the first rows and did like Tiesto and let people touch his hands...I mean, come on. I find this movement to be near ridiculous. I don't want Armin to be like Tiesto:( |

He will be like Tiesto very soon :p
You should worship Sasha/Digweed/Desyn/Fanciulli instead :p |

When I showed up at about 1am, it was $3.50 VIP coat check :confused: (I didn't check, the sign said that) |
Well there always was a sign, I think you could've used the VIP coatcheck even if you had normal tickets (hence the 3.50$). I didn't know at first and wanted to pay the guy, but he said I didn't need to since I had the bracelet. |

My thought on the djs i saw:
Fanciulli=awesome...i think having him at the beginning of the night was a bit of a mistake,because he almost killed my legs off the bat.I will see this man again and would love to see an extended set.(a tag with Paolo Mojo would be fine:p)
Guetta:I understand he is an anthem dj and expected the cheese(i cant stand IM so i didnt bother),what i didnt expect was the clinic in horrible mixing put up by a "top" dj.The first tracks i caught werent even mixed in together.
Formula= fade out of 1 track..(can hear infected in the tech room.)silence for a few seconds...dj pose...new track.I'm sorry but Bal en Blanc could save money by putting winamp on random.
Stephane Grondin:I really liked this set...his set had such a wiked flow to it with so many dirty tracks.It made being groped by sweaty horny men almost bearable.
Peter R(my brain is still to ed to try and spell it):Very suprised.He didnt play like i have heard him in the past and that is a good thing.Some of his tribal selections just took my body over and totally ed my legs.I found a nice dark empty corner near the door and had my own little party in my own little world...Good times..beats the vicks mosh pit:p
Preach:Yes!Yes!Yes!I was expecting totally different and a little softer,but he banged it out.I absolutly lost my mind and i think his closing out the room was a genial idea.There arent too many Dj's who can make you forget your legs are rubber and keep you dancing.I was very happy to hear his remix of Hey, that song makes me lose my mind and want to smash things in a good way.
Had a blast with all of you.TOTA(sorry you get clumped up so i dont forget anyone...NADA U SUCK>>>ALL THAT TRASH TALK AND NO BACKING IT UP.pfffft...at least you looked good:p
MTLTA(you get clumped up too because even my fingers hurt...and i dont feel like typing names:p )
Highlights of the night:hearing the same track 3 different times and losing my mind.Danny Tenaglia-Dibiza.Screaming obsenities at David Guetta and chanting Tiesto at him was also fun.I got a very weird look from a dude dressed up as a sailor...gold.
Preach set...my brain wasnt working anymore and i was just on pure adrenaline.Thanks for the record Philippe.(pffft it wasnt a promo:p )
This year was 10x better than last year.Somebody ed my washing machine.
The End.:tongue3
Epilogue:
Malek looked like a zombie at the end of the night:p
a special thanks to shawn for being a good host and giving us all a place to chill before the long painful trek home.:p |

BAL EN BLANC 12....WOOOOOT!!
I wasn't supposed to go, but I am very very glad that I did. Great party, great people, great vibe...
Overall, I stayed in the tech room most of the night, I tried to avoid Infected, but Guetta was too horrible for me to stay in the house room.
Fancuilli impressed me right at the begining. He played a very good set, but I think the night would have been better off with different timeslots for the DJ's.
I saw a bit of Infected's live show, it was alright, nothing special.
Armin thought he was God at the end of his set. Playing "Without You Near" or "Who is Watching" (I forget which...) and shaking hands of the pilled out ravers. This was not needed. :rolleyes:
Grodin played a very nice set, which flowed into Rauhofers. I really dont think the MC was needed though.
Only heard about half hour of Rauhofers set, it was good, but I heard it went downhill after this...(?)
Preach, you did it again. Killed my legs during the enitre last three hours. Probably the hardest set at Beb, but it was amazing. Track after track...it just got better and better.
Very nice partying with all the MTLTA's (you know who you are...) Jenn, it was great meeting you (again) and doin the warm-up before Preach. :p It was needed....hahah. |

My first BEB expectations were set very high. There was a huge hype about this party. I think I was expecting more... more decorations...less distortion with the bass...I think Armin's set sounded the worse...
I enjoyed Guetta the most I think... Nic F was awesome as well. And I have to say that Armin was pretty darn good...minus the speaker problem.
I just could not get into any other set... Peter R... I did not like at all, I found it to be slow...really slow! Couldn't get into Preach either. And Deep Dish... I just found too blah. You would think I would be up for Preach...but I just was outta sorts I guess.
Not sure if my music tastes are changing or if I am still in remorse from not being in Miami... I think I also might have a Sander addiction.
Or could it be that I am getting older... ?? dun duh duh |

| i didnt find the bass to be so bad...the highs were totally distorted on much of the dance floors...maybe Armin just got to frisky with the gain:P |

I don't know about the sound in the main area, but in the vip during Armin, I was pissed about these monitors going on and off.:whip:
Talk without highs isn't as good. |

The DJ Remy remix of Who's Watching was the 3rd song played that night, so im guessing he ended with Without You Near (Dub)
And ya i didnt have VIP but a few times the guards werent even checking (LOL) so i got in no prob and after that the_devil gave me her bracelet..which was a BREEZE to put on/off!
BTW how was your exam..still ed up from sunday?:o |
