So far it doesn't seem like I missed anything but ... hot women wearing skimpy white outfits. |
Which one can see at pretty much every summer-time Montreal party :p |

review:
- huge lineup as already mentioned, and of course, it was more of a "raver" crowd than people who actually knew or cared about any of the tunes being played, as was expected. alotta in Etards, a lotta trannies, alotta cougars, etc.
infected mushroom - not my thing. ill let someone else comment on them.
house room - a lot of gay middle aged guys with no shirts on. also not my cup of tea
guetta - i was watching ferry and couldnt catch his set. some people told me he rocked, some people told me he sucked. i just tried to avoid the house room as much as possible
ferry - rocked the house. notable tracks:
into the dark
beautiful
fire
jan johnston - let the world fall apart
breakfast - the horizon
seth hutton - don't look behind you
georgia - ode to 99
i think he played 6am too but i could be wrong about that one
best part of the night.. SYSTEM F!!!! yes they both came on together and dropped exhale just before armin took over the decks, which was very cool
armin pumped out a solid set and kept the energy going strong until about 9am when menno took over, which is around the time i left. i was a little out of it by this point and someone else might be able to better ID some of the tracks he spun by but some memorable ones i remember:
toca's mircale
la guitarra
ernvesto vs. bastian - thrill
i really wanted to catch menno but as you might imagine by the time he came on at 9am everyone was pretty wiped out.
tiest part of the night:
i dropped $100 and my ids somewhere when i was dancing which im sure some E-tard picked up :p.. so if anyone found cash on the floor with a brown guys drivers license.. damn you.
all in all was it worth it? for the one-time experience, yeah. but not something i would do again and again, the only good thing about it was the DJs, which, as somebody already mentioned, you can usually catch for $20 on a saturday night
i would say, probably about 5 - 10% of the people there actually knew anything about who was spinning or what they were playing, the rest were just there to get ed up and see what all the hypes about |

Hi !
arghh the line-up !! what was that ? Fortunately, I catched up with friends at the beginning of the line, but it was awful. The line-up for the search was horrible : come on, hire more people to search and make clean lines, so people don't beat each other to get searched... bad.
Speaker blowing off : BAD... damn, 2nd year in a row ! same spot ! (rear right in tech room)... unacceptable.
On the good side, people and music ! Got there for Ferry with all this waiting; really liked the set + putting exhale (Ferry + Armin) at the end with Armin. He played a lot of his tracks (Fire, Beautiful, Gouryella). Armin's set was ok (specially 1st and last hour), but was a bit boring in between.
all in all, BeB has too fix some serious issues... |

I had fun! .. haha of course
I have to ruin the thread :p
I got lucky and got a free vip ticket last minute, sold mine off to a friend and bolted to BeB around 12... because of guestlist drama for a friend we didn't get in until 12:30
headed straight for.. yup.. you should have already known
INFECTEDDDDD
ing nutso. insane. rah rah clap clap. hands down the best ive ever seen them perform. 9/10 .. the crowd wasn't as crazy as they were for Decadence on Thursday.. but none the less.. it was a very energetic and greatttt way to start off my night
I was pretty bored with the house room until Guetta came on. id never heard him before and i wasnt expecting much at all.. definitley proved me wrong. I can appreciate the cheese when its such a big event and its someone ive never seen. :p i had a ton of fun 8/10
Offer was amazing. HE [not she.. blah stop that] threw something new out. Yes.. he still had his diva diva fagness ... but hey... I loved that.. but he threw some tracks in that I would NEVER have expected him to play.. and that totally made my morning :) 10/10
Victore Calderon never dissapoints me. Loved every second of his set and the only thing I would have changed would be that he played earlier in the night instead of one of the other guys [whos names i dont remember because they didn't leave a lasting memory on me].
The only TAs I saw were Kotsy and Malek haha .. and thanks for dealing with the boys . theyre not so bitchy all the time :p only when im not dancing with them and/or they dont think they look good enough for photos ahaha <33
ps kotsy i cant wait for the videos you took! what time did you jet out?
I never stepped foot back in the trance room after infected. my roomie said it was insane.. but thats not my thing.. so Im not gonna bother commenting
hope everyone recovers well!
ps. dropped by stereo this am. if it hadnt been free i would have been angry. of the 25 people there 20 of them were over 30. awkward much?
so overall? last years BeB was MUCH better music wise.. but this year was a great time with my friends and i can say it was well worth the money :D
ps i felt like a baby in there. i never noticed how many older people go to the massives.. and by older i mean 45+ ... and i met a guy who was 68! insane. |

hmmmm...BeB and trannies....I never would have thought :D
P.S. being able to track ID doesn't mean you care or know anything about the music.....maybe in a few years you'll understand that. |

This was my last Bal en Blanc....
unless they get make another great line up like this next year ! lol
got inside around 2:15... seriously, the line. wtf ! (thank you DK Man for making me skip 4h wait)
I missed IM cause I went to La Mouche before. My friends were doing a party.
Ferry : Happy to hear him at Bal en Blanc... he played less cheesy than usual. By far the best set I heard from him...
Armin : Demoliting the dancefloor as always. a bit too Tech tho... after 4h my brain was going RATATATA RATATATA RATATATA !!!
Armin+Ferry : I've dreamed since the end 90's to see them together at an event...wished they did a tag team.
Menno : I stayed till 10 so I only heard the first half of his set. I believe he did great.
SICK night as usual. I couldn't feel my feet for some reason. Pain iun my back and one sholder. one of my eyes was killing me also. Got pretty red at one point... I don'T know wtf happend for it.
With all this I still found the energy to party good enough.
damn I 've seen so many people I know that night, I can't believe it. I had friends almost every where in the room. I haven't seen to many TAs this time tho.
Malek, thank you for that ticket.
DK Man, thank you for the line up.
PvD Geek, sorry for you what happend (ID,$) it wasn't me :P.
Anne, glad to see you there...surprised you recognized me.
also seen, NeoHacker, DarV, PsyTrancer, John H2O, Vestrex and... I think thats pretty much it.
Seriously where were the TAs ?
Marcus, were you in the gay room ?
sur ce, enough with the review... me goign to Habs game tonight ! :D and also the one after against buffalo... and the one against Toronto. :toothless |

F-ING VICTOR CALDERONE ....
wtf.
Ferry was great, I dont even want to get into it ... couldnt stay in that house room for more than 2 minutes. Offer nissim? possibly the worst set I have ever heard of my life ... it sounded like he was doing a sound check ... oops, the track is mixing but my arms are up in the air, strange?
Victor destroyed it, like .... completely destroyed it.
Let me set you free. |
