One Proud Fan

He did it. Today, Armin Van Buuren beat Tiesto for number 1 dj in the world. Pretty impressive, I might say. Oh yes.

I have met him, hung out with him all night even... in his DJ booth while he spun incredible beats as well as when the night was over. He was hilarious, and since the movie, Borat, was relatively new, we quoted lines all night. Quite fun, if you ask me.

I am absolutely in love with his State of Trance series that releases annually. Obviously, I like his other works, too, but there's just something about each ASOT that is more captivating than the one before it.

Pure bliss.

Steppin Out

Kaskade is by far my very favorite House DJ. Saturday night, he came to town and was going to rock my world at a local gay club/bar.

Now, I know what you're thinking, and no, I have no clue why it was there. The gay community seems to have a large following to house/trance music, so I presume that's how the venue was selected. We were, by far, not the only straight ones there. I've been to another show there and had a fabulous time.

Either way, because this was the venue of choice, the friends I had available to come with were slimming down. First, there was people that actually like the music. Then, there was more narrowing down to those who were comfortable going to a predominantly gay venue. This left me with 4 friends willing and able to join me to such a wonderful event.

Just one problem. They all have boyfriends. And, of course, doing what couples do best... occupying each others' time.

11:30 pm and I'm still sitting on the couch, completely depressed that my favorite house dj was in town (only happens maybe once a year, folks), scanning television shows i'd never been interested in before. There's a problem here.

**ring ring**

Well, if it isn't the lovely Mo. Such a great, great friend.

him: "Hey! What are you doing?!"
me: "oh nothing, just sitting on the couch watching some random tv. What about you?"
him: "Um? Isn't Kaskade tonight? Why aren't you there?"
me: "well, you see, I have just this one little problem... no one to go with"
him: "I'll go!"

I jumped up and down like a little girl who just found out her parents were taking her to Cinderella's Castle for the first time. I grabbed a cute outfit and ran out the door.

On my way downtown...

**ring ring**

Well, well... It's Trent.

him: "Hey there, what's up??"
me: "On my way to Kaskade! That's what's up!! What are you doing??"
him: "well, remember I told you I was going to a bachelor party tonight? I'm just not feelin it."
me: "Would you like to go to Kaskade with Mo and I?"
him: "sure."

And there you have it. Two straight men and I at a gay club watching my favorite DJ. Life couldn't get any better!!

Kaskade rocked the house, as usual, and played my all time favorite song, Steppin Out, a few minutes after we walked in. I was in absolute heaven!
