ok, here goes my recap.
wasn't planning on getting there until late, but ending up getting there a half hour early. the doors didnt exactly open at 10, and it was freezing outside.
now yes, i know it was a pretty good lineup but x-dream was still #1 on my list of people to see (even though i've seen him a thousand times). he went on mad early, and his set was nothing expressive. in fact it was the same set i heard him spin in philly like 2 months ago. blah. i wanted to be rolling for his set so i popped 2 pills and it made the end of his set a little more enjoyable. by this time i'm fucked out of my gourd and...
...i get lost. oh wait, back up. Kar was the first BLer i met, i remembered him from Starscape. talked to him for awhile. sometime later, who do i bump into but KAGAN! ahhhhhhh my Kay. but by this time, i had eaten like, 2 more pills and lost track of time, and i danced so hard that my legs were on fire. i went for a walk with Kagan up in the balcony, and you know what... i know its no excuse that i was fucked up but i cant help but feel he took advantage of me (Kagan i hope you read this). and that was just the beginning of the rollercoaster ride into hell.
bumped into my friend Nick, went back into that damn balcony and found some guy that had K, and we bought a 60-jar to split. he poured a bunch onto my hand and i couldn't help but feel like i knocked it all off my hand before i even got to snort it (both times) but like 10 minutes later, i was in a massive k-hole, and nick started kissing me. and at this point, i am pissed off at all men and i got up and left, and now we probably wont talk for like a week.
ventured back downstairs to check on the friends i came with. jenn says to me "did you see ANY of feelgood's set?" and i said "when did he spin" and she said "he's on now" so i went back up to the stage and danced until i fell over...literally. FEELGOOD AND DONALD GLAUDE KICKED MY MOTHER-FUCKING ASS. holy shit. i ran into more friends up by the stage and got my picture taken with them by the Ravers Only chic, who added to the fire by popping another pill into my mouth.
at 3 different points in the night, i asked someone where the coat check was. this was NOT my first time at the limelight and i dont know why i still dont know where the fucking coat check is. i asked the same girl sitting at a table twice, and she pointed and said "Over there" and i still never saw the coat check. when i finally found the damn thing (it was right in front of me the whole time) i asked someone what time it was cuz i was just gonna chill there, and they said 3:30, and i'm thinking, wtf. missed another meetup and dont even know where half of the night went.
i hate drugs.
so my night got better and i bumped into my friends candygrl66 and her hottie sam and my drag queen friend ricky and she was having a blast so that lifted my spirits. but as i ventured back to the dance floor, i pulled a muscle in my stomach, and this made dancing almost unbearable. but how can you NOT dance at a party with so much energy in the main room as this? i agree, the crowd was pretty harsh, but that was to be expected. its fucking nyc. what do you want. but if you found the right place, the vibe was through the roof, and i did.
It's fine if you want to smoke a dip. Really. I don't care. Just go crawl into a corner and save the rest of us the nausea. amen eric. couldn't have said that better myself.
eric sweetie pie, one of these days, we shall meet. you were the number one BLer on my list of people i wanted to meet, and my dumb ass fucked up. i sorry.
lolita, girlfriend... i'm always in the city, i dont doubt we'll meet up eventually.
to all the people i met... you rock. you continue to make the limelight one of my favorite nyc clubs. the party was more than worth the cost of getting in. yeah, a lot of things sucked, but you'll have that at any party. you need to bring your own vibe, make your own fun, and find what brings you ecstacy (even without the pill). i did all of the above and despite the deteriating shape of my body today, i have no complaints... just a few regrets.
goodnight.

. X-Dream was spinning as we arrived. I've seen X-Dream at his best and...well...this wasn't his best. I'd go so far as to say I was dissapointed. DB through it down and I was feelin' his set. I could be wrong, but was it really short? Micro got things going again and had a really sweet set (by my standards). Does anyone know the mix of Iio's "Rapture" he spun? I MUST KNOW...THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! I was non-stop throughout Micro's set. He only set the stage for Feelgood. Wow. Talk about a show. Everyone was pumped, Feelgood's on the decks, and things are just getting started. Too bad I had to leave. Work sucks.
