> got there around 2 - no lineup (yay)!
> what?! no more coat check (boo)! - after being in business for well over a decade, how can they not have anticipated the crowd for this event and not have more coat racks?! People were leaving at that time too so why not just recycle the hangers? Hanging onto a big artic winter coat is a big buzz killer, never mind it reeked of smoke after! Grrrr!!!
> Crowd was awesome and lots of energy - but I've never experienced the main room so packed as it was that night!
> I've seen A&B before but they were never this amazing!
> KILLER light show! Love the big clouds of smoke - it was like being engulfed in a fluffy cloud with rainbows all over!
> Seeing "Fabio" was a bonus - LOL
> Did I mention how much I LOVED the tunes that they pumped out all night loooong?! They are quite the entertainers as well.
> left VERY HAPPY at 5 :D

All top end in the monitors was lost around 3AM. Same thing happened with the front two speakers intermittently. It's about that time that Jeera and I started wondering WTF was going on. Honestly, Tim tried his best to get back in order and on some levels he did. So if the man was a little pre-occupied, that's probably why.

Tim also helped me get sorted out in Acid Lounge to get me started. I can attest that from what little experience I have with him, he is a good guy
Simple rules when at Guv. Dont do anything you're not suppose to do and you'll be fine most of the time.

Tim is a rockstar!

Got there around 12ish while Jaytech was spinning. I got into a bit, but to be honest I was too busy thinking and getting excited about Above & Beyond to really listen to his spinning (my bad). I'll have to check out some more of his stuff online.
As everyone's been saying, the crowd was ridiculous. It seemed like everyone had somewhere to go and they had to go RIGHT NOW, cuz they were pushing and shoving to get through most of the time. I was up at the front left where some of the TA's I know reside, but my friends and I really wanted to get the full experience of the light show (which I think we all agree was fantastic), so we headed for the middle. Things seemed to clear up a bit around 2ish and that's when things really hit their stride. Tons of songs to sing along to and great energy from the crowd.
This was my first time seeing Above & Beyond in person, so I'm not as jaded as some of you guys who have seen and heard them play the same stuff several times. My only reasoning for that could be because they don't come here all that often, so they play exactly what they know people are going to like (catering more to the masses than the hardcore). But really, based off of their set, is anyone NOT going to Bal en Blanc this year?? :D

Tim may be a rockstar, but it sure woulda been nice for him to just tap me on the shoulder and tell me to get off the stage (that I was sitting on, eating a freezie, catching my breath). Instead I had to go home because I wasn't doin anymore dancing on my newly-twisted ankle.
ing prick.
