Piercing Quiet

A State of Trance II with ARMIN VAN BUUREN (aka Hubby dearest)

Epic.

Words may fail. Hence, photos.

First of the night. Early.

Yeah, slightly awkward angle. From the second row.
But right after, this very cool black guy who was in the front row turned around, saw me and shifted a tad so that I could squish in. I promptly proceeded to yell to him "Yupp, we people of colour gotta look out for each other!!" He looked puzzled for a second, grinned broadly and gave me a high 5. I'm pretty sure he was on E. I don't know what I was on.

Signature pose.
He did this approximately 54,489 times during his 5hr set.
I won't lie, it got a little annoying after the 6th time.

L.E.D. There Be Light
Trance Energy

He's a cutie-patootie. I love.
Also I remember taking this photo during "Back To You (Aly & Fila Remix)".
Which makes it priceless.

5:10 AM.
5.5hrs of nonstop dancing, without water or a bathroom break.
So worth it.
[and let me take this opportunity to brag about the many many instances of
eye contact throughout the night. it was romantic.]

My favourite photo of the night

Snippet from an online conversation with a friend on Monday afternoon:

Me - yes. i danced danced in the blazing lights. i flew! at the risk of sounding crazy, i was one with the universe. i suppose...i lived :)
Him - u are nuts.
