Thank you all for the advice!
I'm glad to hear there isn't a dress code. It seems so silly to me to enforce one on an event like this. At the Tiesto event the website stressed 'business casual only' and bouncers were turning away people who didn't have on dress shoes! Sensation White this year was kinda stuffy because there was a bit of a dress code as well. I'm excited to experience this.
The cabs sound like jerks, so I will just take the bus. I can't fathom going to something like this before 7pm! Thats usually when I am laying down to get a nap (I will be very jet-lagged and tired, due to the fact I will spend the night in the airport then get into L.A. at 8am and can't check in until 3pm). I guess I will have to miss the opening because I want to take a nap, have time to get ready then go. So I'll probably show around 9ish or 10. With the VIP entrance I wouldn't think it would take too long to get in.

I'll keep that in mind! Its weird to have strangers dance up on you for no reason. Then again, Danes aren't famous for sharing their personal space with strangers. :)
Will there be anything to do afterwards? A 24-hour cafe or something? I know I wouldn't want to go home right away. And lastly, I have a strange question. I'm flying from Indiana and I won't know anyone at the event. I've been a long-time lurker of this site and I'm curious if any of you guys are meeting up at the event? If so, is it alright if I come by to say hello? |

| I just finished watching the Armin Only dvd. I "imagine" that NYE should be similar to the track listing and atmosphere from the show on the dvd. I feel that this is a good thing, since the show from the dvd looked amazing. I just hope that Armin's 9 hour set isn't all vocal pop trance, as that would be really annoying. Is anyone going to try to get there early...how about a TA meet up at a local restaurant before the event? |

can't wait for this event. Will be CRAZY. Hoping all the guests from ArminOnly and more will show up - like Jan(I think thats his name) on the piano for communication.
Sucks Shah wont be there though. |

Ah ok.
What about lasers for the event? Since this is Armin only production, and in europe the laser laws arent as strict as they are here, will the lasers be at the show just not pointed at the crowd or will there be very few, weak lasers? |

Shah is doing NYE rave in Vancouver this year.
Armin will probably play a lot of his tracks anyway, so i don't think it's a big loss.
Hopefully we'll see him at WMC in 2009. |

NEEDZ LAZAS!
TAO usually has crap lights, and with the US tight on laser laws, wonder what the deal is |

Just some advice...
If you are planning to go around 9 or 10, then there is a good chance you wont make it in untill after midnight. Just know that this is a huge event and there is no organization throughout the lines, so indeed there is a lot of line cutters.
I hope all goes well for you! Armin is going to tear the house down! |

Really? Even though I'm using the separate VIP entrance? |

Oh my bad!
I didnt realize you had VIP. You should have no problems getting in. VIP separate entrance is usually pretty swift!
Have a great time!
As for myself, this will be the first in four years that I decided to stay home for NYE. No worries though, plenty more talent coming to LA in 2009! |

That's honestly the only reason I bought VIP was for the swift entrance. I'm spending about ten hours the previous night in the airport because the airport close to where I am was almost $300 extra to fly out of. Then I get in at 8am and can't check in until 3pm, so I will really need a nap!
I hope you have a good night in! I'm sure there will be tons of pictures for you to see! |
