Oh Okay....can this chick add her story in?
Then I'll go get the pics and video, I promise.
I'm hanging with the boys upstairs...Armin passes right behind us and all of us almost peed in our pants....or maybe that was me?
I was tearing up, finally....finally get to see him in person. I've waited so long to thank him for his contribution to trance music and how he has enhanced and empowered peoples lives all over the world. I had to tell them this so I could rest well.
He's playing, and I'm singing my heart out. I wanted so badly for him to hear me from the railing up above him. It was emotional, and some songs I would get choked up on from the emotions and the atmosphere that everyone was feeling around me. I never felt so much love in the air in my life!
I think Armin was only into the second song when one of the speakers blew up and there was a fire. It was awesome, everyone was cheering that Armin was tearing up. They eventually replaced the speaker, but it sure was fun to see.
I was so scared to go down to the floor. Due to the fact that I have fallen on the floor, was trampled and stomped on last year. It's been a big fear of mine for really packed crowds ever since. But if it was the only way I could, I would have to try and meet him. I had some guys help me push our way through the crowd. We got up to the front finally, where there was this girl that would not move if her life depended on it.
I told her that Armin knew of me and he wanted to see my Angel tattoo when he came to Dallas. I just needed to show it to him, say hi, and then I'll leave and go back upstairs...and she could have her spot back. You could tell she didn't know anything about Armin or who he was..she was just there taking up my space and breathing all the Armin fans' air. Another girl that I met up at the front of the stage was a huge Armin fan too. And I'm ashamed of this now, but that night, we were practically torturing the bitch that was in front of us. And the other girl started spitting in her hair. LOL....well maybe I feel ashamed for laughing about it, but felt she deserved it. She would yell back at us, "I AM NOT MOVING!" and the other girl would call her a bitch and she would say "I DON't CARE!"
And I'm not usually a mean person, but damn, wanted to slap her. I had a rose with me and I was able to reach it up to the top of the railing. And Armin grabbed it and proped it up for the whole club to see. He played the rest of the night with the rose there. I was miserable there on the floor trying to get his attention. Yal know that spikey headed guy that was hanging with Armin all night? Well I tried to get his attention and I showed him my tat. He just shook his head at me and said No. And the bouncer kept trying to push me back down. Stop man-handling me....I'm a chick, dude! lol
So then Armin looked down for a second and I could tell he recognized me and thought I looked familiar from the pics. (Dave Dresden sent Armin my myspace link a while ago) And then the music died down at the perfect time as he looked at me and I yelled, "I'm YOUR TATTOO GIRL!"
His face lit up and he said, "REALLY!!!???" and he motioned for me to come up immediately. Of course, the bouncer still wouldn't let me. So Armin had to tell spikey headed dude to come down and get me. In which I stuck my toungue out at Mr. Spike and told him "I told you so." LOL
I gave him a moment to change songs and I got to watch him work from upclose. Damn magic hands! Once he was situated, he came by and said Hi and wanted to see the tat. It was on my back and I handed him a sharpie to sign it. He told me he was flattered and it was beautiful. He hugged me and I immediately kissed his cheek and his neck. I couldn't help it! This chicka has needs! lol
Was hoping I'd be allowed in the elite crowd standing on the side...but of course Mr. Spike-Ass motioned for me to step by down. I gave him a nasty face to show my disapproval of him. He seemed to be Armin's personal cheerleader or something.
When I got down, a million people wanted to touch my autograph, and I was so worried it would smudge before I could get a pic of it. Some professional photographers kept coming over to take pics of it, so hopefully I'll have a good pic of it when they come out.
The crowd on the floor was terrible, so I went back upstairs to my spot on the railing. Armin recognized me up there, and would watch me sing along, and he kept pointing at me and smiling. It was an absolutely amazing night.
And at 4am, I loved when the announcer said, "The doors close at 4, but THAT !!!" and Armin played for another 45 minutes or maybe an hour after that. Oh and Johnny Funk finished it all up because no one was ready to leave.
And so many new friends I've gained! Thanks everyone for your kind words and sweetness! I loved meeting you all! I just want to give you guys a big hug again! Actually....brings up another story....
While I was down on the bottom floor, my cell had been knocked out, and became in a million pieces somewhere on the LL floor. So guess what? I had to get a new phone yesterday.
I've lost all my good people's phone numbers!!!!
So please text me, email me, PM me, whatever you wish, and I'm hoping to get your phone numbers back into my new phone!

the video and the pics were all taken from the top balcony looking down.
Here's Armin
part of the crowd freaking out...and bubbles, tons of bubbles all night
You see that rose that is proudly displayed? He played most of the night with my rose there. It was like I was in the booth in spirit the whole time. *S*
dance that tune, baby!
he can't wipe that smile from his face *S*
okay...this is where I come in....
Armin...may I give you a kissy kissy? his face was a little scruffy, it was so hot.
I kissed his cheek and his neck here, and my he had big hands *blush*
Sign my tattoo sweety
You notice I'm crying tears of joy?
and this was taken at the very end of the night, my back is red and sweaty from getting down on the floor. lol and people kept touching my autograph, so it got smudged a little.
Ugh, you can tell even in this pic, the tat isn't completely healed yet
One of my buddies, Colt and I. He's only 18, but an amazing DJ already! I'm rooting for him all the way. Disclaimer, this pic was taken at 5 am....so we are worn out already. LOL

Man oh man oh man! I had so much fun this weekend that I am 'working from home' today. What a weekend. First I played friday night for the Andy Moor show. Went very well. I even have my first groupie. Some chick kept asking me what every track was I played. I finally had to just give her my website and told her to email me. Proceeded to get muy drunk that night.
Saturday consisted of laying on the couch until the lunchmeat crew came in town from Houston. So I started getting calls about 9:30. Took a cab and finally showed up about 12:30. DJ Dan was decent. Typical, but decent.
Then Armin gets there and the whole place goes nuts. He really did put on a good show. I would have stayed for all of it if it wasn't so damn crowded. Full Access dropped the ball on that part.
There was about a two to three hour window where everything kinda started to run together.:haha: The Kitchen Session (conceptualize at CLub Jonas by resident superstar DJ Jonas) was much of a success in it's debut. I have been getting calls and emails from fans and DJ's wanting to know more or how they can be a part of what we are now dubbed, EKG (Electronic Kitchen Group). <<
Matt Cory, Lizandro, Carlos, Deven-Thanks for coming over. Sorry not everyone got on the decks. We will do this again soon and start designating time to everyone that wants to play. |

Don't know where you were, which is most likely why you weren't invited. You gotta come say hi to us, you know. |
