Hello Everyone!!!!
I got home at 1:30am, nice little 11+ hour drive back to ny!! It's all good, over 22 hours of PvD this weekend, and an AMAZING show!!:D:D:D:D
hmmm....i met one ta for sure, ckytep, and then I went up to someone wearing a VANDIT shirt, and told him I had one too, and asked if he was a ta, and i think he said yes. ummmm....Chris got my sister and I a little drunk prior to going and the only thing i could say for a while was: Chris!! I'm so f'ed up!!!:stongue:
OMG, from the moment PvD hit the decks, he OWNED me!!! I loved everything he played!! Soooo many new tracks mixed in with a few classics. When he played Dreamland, I was sooo surprised!!! I heard the base line coming in and couldn't believe it and then told my sister what was coming...and then....ahhhh....
It was VERY VERY HOT there, and Chris, my sister, and I all took a little break from the heat. I NEVER DO THIS...but I was at the point where I thouht I might pass out or something:nervous:
But what a GREAT night!!! I'd have to say that I am a very happer camper and have had a smile on my face since last night. What a very very nice birthday present, THANK YOU PAUL!!!:D:D:D:D:D
fyi: he'll be in NYC at the Roxy November 1:toocool: |

| Im so sad. Last week I found out from my boss I had to work and that I wouldn't be able to make pvd. I am so pissed:whip: At least it sounds like all you TA's had a great time. Does anyone know if someone recorded the set? Probably not? Oh well, we gotta keep this mid-west forum alive to show swaper what we're all about. |

and a BIG thanks to Chris for helping me make this past weekend happen!!! Chris allowed my sister and I to take over his apartment;) and was the perfect host, friend, and PvD party buddy!! On Saturday we toured Chicago, and tried some bubble tea, managed to get to the club as planned without any disasters (i tend to have issues getting to PvD gigs as planned), and then we all went to the beach after the show:D And he had to work at 9am that morning...what a trooper!!!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!:D

Just got back to Omaha from one of the most amazing weekend's in Chicago... my first to be exact!
Awesome PVD show!!! This was my first big-name show ever, and I was not dissapointed. To mimic everyone else, it was unbelievably hot in there!!! I totally wanted to run around naked, lol!! It was nice to see some chica's in their bras! I did see you CKYTEP, up front with the blue hair!! I was just a few rows back from ya most of the night.. amazing. I was there with a bunch of Russian dudes, remember the text message "Russians scream"? That was us... Ahh, I'm so glad I went it was breathtaking. Someone told me the Aragon was a larger venue, maybe it would have been cooler?
:D |

hey Roany Riva ... that was me wearing the VANDIT shirt. i'm glad you recognized it otherwise i would have gone the whole night w/o meeting a fellow TA. what a great night. hot as hell, but i just got used to it after a while. at the end of the night my hands were all wrinkled like i just got out of a three hour bath ;-) hearing For An Angel was incredible. last time PvD was in chicago he didn't play it but played it the next night in Boston ... more than made up for it tonight ...
For an Angel > Another Way > Dreamland
:eyes: :eyes: :haha: :haha: :happy2: :happy2:
i thought it was great how Paul just stood there at the end waiting for them to say he could play at least one more. when they kept saying we had to go he threw uphis hands, shrugged, smiled and started signing autographs ... what a great night. |

I made it to the show about 11 o clock. Paul was already up on the decks. The crowd was great, it was fairly packed but I made my way up towards the front without much of a problem. The first thing you noticed when you got up there, obviously the heat. My shirt came off within 10 minutes. I enjoyed his set thoroughly, but the heat was a little much for me and the booze was kind of expensive. The For An Angel, Another Way, Dreamland combo did own me also.
Wish I could have met some TA's myself, but I was so sweaty you probably wouldn't have wanted to come anywhere near me.
Y'all had to notice the guy filming the whole show. He must have got me on there quite a bit when he was panning through the crowd. I wonder if this will be available somehow?

:D Any time I see someone with a VANDIT or PvD shirt that I don't know, I always make it a point to say hi and find out who they are! sorry we couldn't have chatted more...next time, next time...

Motorola, well, good luck on that! Let's just hope you're not one of their next wave of layoffs though if you do get hired! |

OMG... I'm still hyped about this show...
Sorry I didn't meet any TA's when I was down this time. Had so many other people w/ my group that it was kind of hard to meet people. Anyway, there's always next time. |
