Woo!
So I finally managed to get on a PC! Wow, what a busy weekend...
Music 8/10
Crowd 6/10 (KH was horrible, Drink/Main Room/Gallery were busy, but expected for All Access)
Friends 10/10
But I have to say that Freedom was an amazing event!! It wasn't just about the music, but it was about everyone who was there! I can't remember the last time I was there and so many great friends were there partying with me :D
Personally, Felix was the set of the night for me! Wow was he on fire! Didn't stop moving the entire time I was there! I think MSTRKRFT even spun a few tracks (from what I could see) and it was pretty funny at some parts seeing how drunk Felix got and with some of his MCing going on lol.
It was great partying with all the old & new faces (way to many to mention and don't want to forget anyones names).
Canada Day Party here I come!! :D

i liked how that back walk way that connects KH-Gallery-Orange Room was open its never really open for an All Access Event.....i could be wrong..... |
I noticed this too and was pleased.
One thing I was really happy about was the fact that D'Luxe Lounge was open. I can't remember the last time they did this - must've been last summer. This is easily the best way to take in the main room. Not only is it far less crowded, but the sounded is much much better and you can't beat the view!! |

the weather inside the KH was horrible. i should've brought a raincoat cuz it was raining like a bitch. i've never experienced it that bad. but anyway...

lol... that wasn't rain... it's everyone's sweat dripping from the condensed pipes overhead, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
As for my night... I was recovering earlier Sunday from food poisoning, and was better by the time I got to Barb's for the warm-up.
After 2hrs in the club, I think I started feeling the effects of the Jager shots on my stomach, and I left shortly after PVD started.
I got to see lots of friends, but wish I could have stayed longer. I was in bed all of Monday :( |

my review
got to tdot around 10 and headed to barbs where a bunch of you guys were leaving. nice to put some faces to names. left barbs around 1030 and got to guv where I beat the walkers. lol yes i teleported there. had to ditch my friends who were glisting it as i had a ticket but its ok, i was in great company. the ticket line moved a lot faster than the glist line which was great.
ventured into kh and was surprised it not being more decorated, although the stage looked pretty good. next stop, guv where joe/fab were warming everyone up but decided to head to the drink to meet up with london people. after that, and many revs later (which i had sworn off for months) my roaming began.
gallery: checked out alicia hush, never heard her but i jammed there for a bit. joee cons was great, ran into a good friend who had moved to germany... pleasant surprise running into her like that. wanted to stay for mikey but the other rooms were beginning to call.
guv: bad boy bill- pretty good. but nothing too fantastic which i was expecting from recent reviews from his last few sets. Morillo- muchhhhhh better than his set at the docks. some great tunes and he looked like he was enjoying himself. chilled behind the booth cuz my ears were hurting from the drink (regret not bringing my earplugs... oh well) great that he played an extended set as well.
the drink: spent most of my night in there. caught some of gow, nav but was pretty much fixed for Felix's entire set. was very impressed with him. the vibe was great for him (just a little hot, loud, near the end of his set, the lights were starting to hurt, the mini "cannons" in the drink was nice to clear out the humidity and cool things off. felix's mcing was a great way to kick the vibe up, mstrkrft rocking out as well was an added bonus. highlights of felix: apologizing for screwing up his mix of blink; handing out shots to the crowd; playing "underground" switching it to some funky sexy house then back to "underground"; playing some older tunes but making it sound great (jeff and i agreed on this); playing extended set; being wasted at the end cutting the music but had his headphones on rocking out not realizing that the volume was off lol... and many more. Roaches were also great but took me a lot of rest in the main room to get back into dancing mode.
KH: unfortunately only checked out a bit of pvd. crowd was way too pushy and annoying and stumbing all over, i spilled 3 drinks cuz of a fist pump coming down. one guy trying to fight me cuz i was walking through the crowd and was sliding through one slot and apparently i had squeezed between him and his gf. wanted to catch eddie but felix was keeping me in the main room and was resting while checking out morillo.
Overall: great night, good times, met lots of people and ran into many familiar faces. sasha x 2, mikey, tara, vince, peter, theresa, jeff, nick, ace, aj, barb, stefan and sarah, kotsy, bojana, peter a few others, many lurkers. and sorry to anyone i forgot
