Oh...wait!

well...i am finally de-sketched enough to write......i mean.....yes....um...where to begin. well....as i am reading it seems that everyone else has already said it all. lineup sucked, setup was alright (i enjoyed last years better), barstars were drunk, hoochies were half naked, stars were wikid cool (specially with the lazers!), scotty oh ruled my world....his beat fucking carried me from my tent to the stage!!!!, and i enjoyed the dnb....as usual :)
right.....
little bro-you made it bud!!! and....no more raving for you....EVER!
shell-hugs...wouldn't be the same with out you
to the people on the tarp next to us-you guys are awesome......you added the perfect ambience to my night...the candles....the watermelon....the conversation...wonderful!
neoh--yay...thanx for taking us under your wing ;) and yay for sketchy camping off the side of the road near some creek in abbotsford....wtf....man we were drunk. well two of us were anyway.
AJ-if you are out there.....holy shit i still can't believe i saw you......ya first annyversary rave!!!!!! (glad you lost the bunny suit tho) ;) and i liked your hat. oh..and frick man.....i dunno where the hell your brother is!

well i guess i had a lot to say after all. my only regret......there was soo much to take in and i wish i could have taken more. there were a lot of stages i never really experienced. and i missed like half the people i wanted to see spin....fuck. oh ya...and no cuddle buddy :(
YEA summer breaks!!!!!!

If Im waiting in line for three and a half hours it doesn't make sense that people arent being half decently searched!

Wow you TOTALLY sound like you’re from surrey!

yah the flyer was nice. but i dont think it was worth a 10$ hike in price. i wasnt happy about that. got to the gate with 20$!! thanks again everyone that contributed to get me in!

would have liked a little more visual show of each stages name, and the line up there. some i didnt see at all... (i know i needed a flyer :P)

wanted to throw an idea out: the VIP tickets¿ could be sold as enterance to mabey an aditonal stage or something and more importantly be admitance to a beer garden... VIP tickets not sold to miners, and beers not alowed out of the garden. i like the idea :) and its way better than limiting the entire rave to 19+ and still appeal to a much broader party croud (drinkers).... who knows, just wanted to throw it out there.
...¿(gave only an early enterance, and hardly came through on that)

VIP line should have been far side of the gate with a completely private admitance and check beside the standard. the regular admintance tickets should have had chalk lines keeping eveyone all the way back along the side of the road. signs should be posted throughout the parking and along the way through the gates with high visibility informing everyone of where to find ticket venders, the VIP line, and what isnt alowed through the gate. would save alot of yelling and frustration. (if not mabey a megaphone would help)
In conclusion i was a little shaken by the mess outside the gate, and the dissorder of croud control, and hit with the price jump things started off with me questioning the organization of the party this year. (sorry guys) once i was inside my oppinion started to change. the set ups were great, over crouding was delt with reasonalbly. a little too much space for consesions i though, pack them in, the stages needed all that extra space. despite everything i ragged on, come the end of the night, i was absolutly impressed with the party. it was worth the extra money and then some <no getting any ideas guys!>

PS~ im really sorry to everyone i told that tickets were only 20 at the door. i really hope no one was turned away. feel terible about that.

[stringbeans]

did anyone see the guy in the complete fur outfit? like his shorts and shirt was just brown fur. he looked like bigfoot

also, does anyone else think dj venus' dancing posse is kinda really gross?

[baby-phat]

^^ Uh yeah, I do.
I just don't like or get the need for having your own dancers. But meh, whatever floats yer boat I guess. *shrug*

I think hyperfunk was walking around in a fur coat...and yes venuses dancers are scarry, I saw them @ some other rave and just asumed they were random girls from the crowd, but to purposely bring them to apex?? I think you woulda been better with random raver girls from the crowd...sorry

[baby-phat]

hehehe. HyperFunk and his fur coat. :)
I so wish I coulda made it out to Apex this year. *Sigh* Next year for fuckin sure!

[Draven GD]

dancers on staff are good. they break the ice in a sence. makes the stage feel more lively, and encourages people in the croud to dance. party cause they wont be the only person moving and watched, but also party just seeing/hearing/feeling the music and the movments inspire mellow crouds... but i agree raves out of the croud would have made it that much more personal and involving, but really.. you didnt know the differnce till later, so they did a good job..

as for the bigfoot raver, complements to him! i loved the costume, its great to see people having fun! i miss the way the kandi kids and costumes used to populate the raves. especialy Apex. adds such a relaxed fun loving attatude to the party. honestly everyone i watched notice him broke out in a huge smile instantly. props on the balls for that, the smiles it brought, the heat you must have endured, and the positive energy you bring with you!

Hey babe, y'know it is possible to have em both, hehe :p <3 (I have 'jungle candy'. lol)

[miSsy_chriSsy]

Absolutely Amazing.

It ended up being better than I had ever anticipated. I want to first off thank the Apex team for all their help and support for making this year the best ever. I secondly want to thank my production team, Remix Sound, for setting up an amazing light and sound display for which made for one of the best systems I've ever rented. 2 truckloads of sound and 18 amplifiers - it was worth every watt! :P

I want to thank my best friend Alla. Without you I couldn't have done this. Seriously. You helped me from setup to finish, and you were my support for the entire show. You're amazing and I'm so lucky to have you.

To my beautiful Djs: Maggie, you were amazing, Molly you're amazing, Illesha you're amazing, Bri you're amazing, Kristy you're amazing, Sabrina you're amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more talented group of beautiful dj's to be a part of my company for years to come! We need to promote ourselves, and support one another, together!

To all my friends who showed up to support, and helped make me smile. I love you all.
To everyone I met, thank you for coming out!

After tons of PM's and emails from male dj's on this board, I would like to congratulate the only males who got a timeslot early in the morning - Tyson and Luke! Big ups to the jungle massive!!! Thanks for playing! It was a slice :) Tyson you rock, Luke you're hilarious!

Best night, but so glad the stress is over! *sigh*

NEXT YEAR = BIGGER, BETTER, LOUDER.
