Sin City...what a crazy and fun night!
When I first arrived to the Park Plaza Hotel I saw the line to get in to Sin City start at the front doors and wrap around one side of the building, that means the line was just shy of being half the perimeter of the whole hotel! I parked, put on my kandie, and headed down the parking structure, this in it self was a party adventure! While I was walking I ran into Touch, Aftershock, and two of their friends getting ready and making their way down. When I got down to the bottom I saw Phoenix and her man walking back up. I talked to them for a while and found out that they were heading on out. They were a bit bummed about waiting to get in and then bummed out again when they heard the price at the door had hit $40. We wished each other the best and headed our ways.
When I finally got in line I ran into Zig Zag and talked with him for a bit until Armenian Tim came by and gave me a responsible raver’s guide that I had never seen before. I've seen many publications like it, but thought it was awesome that he was handing it out to people. It's simple but true, if we all followed and believe in P.L.U.R.R., and everyone really respected what it really meant, there would be a lot more partying, fun times, and fewer shutdowns. When I get a digital copy of it I'll make sure to put it up so that you can all read it, it's good stuff! While standing there waiting to get in, reading the ravers guide, CheeSEXburger was walking by announcing that the line I was standing in was for people who needed to buy tickets at the door...whoa... I started walking to the other line when I ran into Prozac and Krazy Kat, we talked for a while as the line progressed forward. Krazy Kat ended up deciding to leave to peruse other adventures, and since Prozac was about ready to go in I headed to the groove tickets line. I got to the other line, which was much shorter, and kicked it there with Skittles and her friends.
Once inside the place looked awesome! Dead ahead was a huge staircase that lead to the second floor where the Trance / Main area was located. To your right was the Hardcore area, with the Jungle / DNB area just beyond that. If you went through either the Hardcore or DNB area you hit the chill / smoking area outside. It was a really cool set up and a really cool venue and I REALLY HOPE that we get to use it again because it was that bomb...just ask everyone that went.
Once inside and past the ticket counters I was warmly greeted by Midas, Barbie, Bridgett, SplashumS, Smiley, Sarah, SuN KissssS, Chronica, Famously Unknown, Velocity, and Raver D. After a plethora of pictures and hugs I moved on to the DNB area.Walking through the crowd getting down with the heavy beats I ran into Killer Tofu’s sister wearing a black and white color combination with a hat like mine but solid black with pink fluffy bunny ears. At the same time Lost Child Giga ran into me and gave me a hug.
Ashowee also saw my hat and come over for hugs and picture loving. Big congrats go out to her on her accomplishment on being accepted as a Suicide Girl. 
Killer Tofu then saw the fun and came over to join. After snapping a few more pictures I wandered over to the Blatant Disregard booth and perused the goods, got some laughs, and grabbed a picture of the working folk that don’t get to spend the whole night partying; looks like they were having fun none the less. Making my way out the door to the smoking chill area I ran into Breezey, Inna, and their friend all dressed to impress Sin City style! At the same time I saw Sunshine and friend kicking it next to the speaker dancing up s storm.
I got a few pictures and made my way to behind the scene to catch the DJ and MC’s. When I got behind stage I noticed that Camel and Adeline were chilling with crew having a good time behind the scenes. I took a few crowd shots while we chatted but eventually made my way to the outdoor chill area.Outside I ran into Faded wearing her favorite color, green, cannabis shirt.
While I was talking with Faded Dancing Turtle came up behind me and gave me a hug. I snagged a group picture shot and then said hello to PinkE and Dank Rob. I chilled talking with everyone when Kebler came up and stood beside me with a smile. I gave him a hug, got a picture, and then everyone ended up jumping around into everyone’s conversations. It is fun being able to hang out and talk with people instead of running around photo hunting all night. Raver D, Velocity, Smiley, Kayla, Spout, and Cheshire Cat also ventured over to kick it. With so many people around I figured….group picture! 
After chilling with everyone for a while I figured I better get back into my picture groove ad capture more fun moments! Billboard was chilling with three lovely ladies being all pimp status, Smokey the Bear, his girl, and friends were chilling against the wall having a good time when Rush and Sniff came up with smiles and news that I had missed a killer group shot of all my raver girls.
At the same time Tigger was clicking pictures away (which by the way I believe he hit a new record with 1,700 photos taken, 1,200 photos used) and having a great time. I have to agree with him that this was a really fun party! We snagged our fun photographer taking a photo of another photographer shot and continued on in our traditional mass picture harvest. Miss X-Mas came up, gave me a hug, and did her “I’m a cute brat but you know you love me” pose. When I turned around I found that Echo, Mowgli, Breezey, and friend chilling against the wall. I said my hellos, hugs were exchanged, and a mini photo shoot took place.
I eventually made my way to the Hardcore room where some pretty awesome beats were coming from. On the way I ran into Oblivious and Famously Unknown so I snagged some pictures, said hellos and moved into the room. Trying to find out who was playing Rainbow bumped into me with smiles. I snagged a few pictures, wandered deeper into the crowd, got some crowd shots, and finally when I got to the front…can you guess who it was on the turntables? Thee-O! I was so happy I could explode since I have not gotten to hear him spin at a party in a while. While up front, dancing, having a bomb time Aftershock and DJ X_Phactor screamed hello, and other gestures, at me. I was jamming out to Thee-O spinning his musical bliss watching Tigger take a bunch of crowd shots having a bomb ass time as well, someone tapped me on the shoulder….Skittles! Phatt Man and Faded also heard the tunes and pushed to be in the front where we all kicked it and partied our asses off. I probably should have stayed until his set was over but I started to head for the front to check out the main stage. On my way I ran into Philippe and Rich, exchanged hellos, and off I went.Once up front I got to see pretty;girl, Kiddo, Meeeshka, and Genuine. I took some pictures, caught some crowd shots, and headed up the stairs. I saw the panic clothing booth up top and like I always like to do snagged a shot of it.
Looking around I saw Boss, Miss Eyefull, Shadow, Mila PookiE, Hello Kittie, LovE bugg, and Eric! Tons of pictures were taken, lots of people got the infamous Obvious’ hat shot, and a gripload of hugs were exchanged. I wandered around the main Techno / Trance area snapping pictures, but eventually decided I wanted to hit up the Hardcore room again. On my way out I ran into BinX and friend before I headed downstairs.When I got back down to the hardcore area I made my way outside to chill when aftershock reminded me that I had a back massage waiting whenever I wanted one, and guess what…right then sounded about right. We hung outside talking and chilling, saying hello and giving hugs to everyone we knew that came and joined us, including Bigg J, and Joker. Finally after a half hour or so I decided it was time to get back up and snap some pictures before the party ended, but as I was wading through the crowds I noticed something…yes music was still playing, but it looked like the crowds were pushing towards the front door…
You guessed it, closing time! I made my way to the staircases to try and get some crowd shots and last minute pictures before the night was done. I got to see HappE before he shot off into the crowd and met up with Tigger and Luis from Nocturnal Rampage on the stairs for the final pictures of the night. We tried to get everyone to make hearts with their hands because a crowd shot with everyone giving the love sign would have been bomb ass! We didn’t quite get the whole crowd, but half of the crowd that knew where the photographers were did their best to assist.
Tigger got a Tigger necklace, a few last photos were shot, and then security did their job. Sin City was a dope party and I know I had a lot of fun. Props go out to all the people that made the party possible and serious sick props on the venue, I really hope we can work things out to use it again. The only thing that I really REALLY wish that everyone would do is put up set times. It’s just nice knowing what time people are supposed to play so that you can kind of strategically plan where you want to be and what room you want to be in a certain times. I wish I knew every DJ’s name, and I wish I knew what each of them sounded like but…I suck and don’t.
Thank you I.T. Family for an awesome night and I look forward to your next party!
