APEX 2006 Review

[CRiXy]

Line up was WAY TOO LONG. (I waited over 90 minutes)

But the party was definately fun and I'll definately be back next year with a VIP ticket.

BTW, Vision1 stage rocked all night!

You are a party animal!

Really? I remember walking around at like 4am and not finding any house until I got to the Slow DJ's stage where they were playing some good stuff.

Yeah really... the stages with the biggest croweds were playing trance. I think the only places you could really find real club type house was the Slow dj's and Ree-fresh stage. We did all right, but nothing like the massive sound stages.

^^its true, three stages were packed with the biggest crowds

[Clayton.]

- some stages were just too high off the ground

- spraying water at photographers, then laughing = FUCK OFF! I'm leaving...

General Review of Apex: An over rated Outdoor Highschool Dance Party for the suburban locals.

excellent pics once again!

[BenGiovanni]

i woulda loved to see the feces covered girl that came outta that tipped portopotty... ahh that would been grand smell in that area too.

[MStar]

Some jerk pulled on my wings and broke them like 15 minutes into apex.
My hair turned out quite neat though. :D

[soma]

big thanks to all who were involved.

it was a blast!

[cubed]

male model machine absolutely killed it.

easily the best set I heard all night long.

if these guys don't go huge there's something wrong with the world.

[amanda rude]

VISION 1!!!

Detn8r/Mel, we couldn't have done it without you. I'm glad everyone held it together and pushed through the obstacles. The sound kicked ass.

Marz, you played the best I have seen you yet. Quality!! Impact, DubC, Detn8r, Smokeone.... good job on keeping the stage packed the rest of the night! THANKS to everyone, and all the familiar faces rocking out at my set! I didn't expect it to be full that early!!

Hirshee- we rule! Good sets brov..
SIR KUTZ........ We finally got to hang out! You are so much fun..
Many good sets, where do I start? Everyone involved did a wicked job to contribute.

- my pass

working staff > V.I.P.

I had fun but I doubt I would have if I wasn't helping set up and tear down. I guess I'm getting old or something.

Losing power at 2am was lame but at least it gave me something interesting to do for 10 minutes while we tried to figure out what happened and how to fix it. Go Team Shitshow for saving the Ree-fresh stage!

Agreed. Nature always provides the best visuals. That blanket freakin' saved my life.

[Draven GD]

loved the party guys. always a good time at Apex. missed seeing alot of my old friends this year. but its great to see those that i did. i really miss the candi kids though. things have really changed over the years. showed up a little late this year, but we made up for it by staying late. thanks again to the "slow" stage that played for us while we hacked for a while before going home. that was great. the washrooms were horrable, but hey, whats new. anyway, over all it was a great party. loved meeting all the new people i met this year. good atmosphere.
and thanks again to T-Spot for giving us all a ride home. :D

sure that woulda been funny to see but imagine that was you (no change of clothes) :351: lol. Personally im glad that guy got fuckin shit kicked, 10 wasnt enuf. Push some lady over in a portapoty "ohhh im hardcore look at me" thats not cool man, u go to rave to have fun and socialize not to get pushed over in a portapoty LOL! karma will get him back when his in a portapoty, or has it already gotten him (10 person shit stomp)? lmao for my first apex i had a FUCKIN BLAST!!!!!! the Mnemonic Productions ROCKED it all night, after i found out greg c got cancled i pritty much spent the WHOLE night there. Who ever was there i was one of the guys running up and screaming "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA!!!!!" to every song that came on pritty much lol, now my voice is gone because of it lol. Only downside of the night was standing near the enterance (apperantly they cant do this) and like 8 security rush me and my friend "GIME UR DRUGS I KNOW U GUYS HAVE DRUGS!!!" luckily (quick thinking) take my shit out stick it in my ass crack and CLENCH!!! LOL!!! what a bi*ch that girl one was 2, i woulda caused a sceen if i wasnt already about to puke. I turn around to puke and she goes "HES TRYING TO BOOK IT!!!" and grabs me, i SHOVED her and said "fuck u bitch i gotta puke" then puke right in front of (or on?) her feet :126: haha serves u right. other then that WHICKED PARTY!!!!! hard to find ppl but WHICKED PARTY!!! good to party with everyone i saw!!!! now i must go to tune town to get my greg c fix then its SUMMER BREAK!!!!!! :306:
