Worst set I've ever heard from Armin...started out good and then devolved into this monotonous hard house , with the beats even going in and out of some classic Trance tracks like 3 Drives on a Vinyl...Chicane's "No Ordinary Morning" to a Hard House beat?...just sounded wrong to me. Wasn't until the drinks wore off that I realized this wasn't DJ Irene! :eek: Major bass distortion from the speakers too, visuals were really cheesy and very repetitive (just compare them to Above & Beyond's visuals at EDC, for example).
The bright spot was Rank 1's live appearance halfway through the night with Benno on his "electric guitar keyboard!" (but my camera seems to put in earplugs too when the bass is too loud):
I also agree that the vocalists did a good job. Excellent VIP setup, too, most def worth the money!
The TA meetup at Zencu sushi was great, even though most everyone spent a half hour or more looking for the place (which is in a mall that didn't seem to face the street), so not many of us were together at the same time. Always a good time talking about the best music! :D

Currently, I'm running on an hour sleep.. I have decided to go tonight... Besides, a friend of mine wants an autograph, and she wont be around for Armin, Tyas or Tiesto..
Lets hope that Armin shines like he always does in SF.
See you there bro! I can't wait! :p

For now i will just say it was a ing AWESOME night. Got to meet a couple of TAs at sushi after i spent an hour walking around trying to find the place hehe. Had an awesome time hanging out with Audioholic and his buds during the show. I loved armin's set but i will post more on that later. Im to retardedly tired physically and mentally to do anything but eat and watch tv. I will post vids/pics tonight or tomorrow.
PS - Those acorbat gogo dancers were INSANE!!!!!!

I had a good time cause of the people I met; everyone was having a good time!
Rank 1 was fun...short.
I agree with some of the others, the set itself was boring. However, people were having a good time, so that's all that mattered.
The Stoli "parking garage" was way too hot everytime I checked it out, so I didn't stay at all. How was it?

I haven't been an Armin fan for a while but even a couple of my Armin fan friends weren't that happy with his set so maybe it wasn't just me....I do have to say though Susana did a pretty good job :)
not sure if you made it to the side room, but desyn and 16bl were off the meat racks. not boring at all:D

I agree some parts of Armin's set was boring, but with all dj's that spin 8 hrs or more, I figure there's bound to be some parts that I may not particular like. But still, I thoroughly enjoyed the night. Saw soooooo many familiar faces that it made my night. Lots of people looking happy and having a good time for sure. The highlight of the night was definitely Rank 1 and Susana (who sang Shivers), but of course, Armin still did his thing.
Here's a short clip of Shivers that I took before my camera decided to shut down:

I took one also, maybe between both of them we've got most of her song :)
