We got out of the city at 1:45, after eating some chicken salad sandwiches and some homemade soup.
The trip down was fairly quick, and we were at the Regency not long after 3PM. We ate a few burgers, and checked into our room (Which was nowhere near as bad as expected. The "Hollywood Motel" in Orangeville, where I stayed for WEMF was much worse.
We smoked a doobie, and hit the road to go to the LCBO & Beer store. We got wrong directions from Andy, but were able to make it pretty easy.
After hitting the liquor store, we went down Jory & Renee's hotel room, and enjoyed good company, and good laughs.... After a bit, we went back to the Regency, and pre-drank, going back and forth between the bar and the hotel room.
I didn't catch many of the Djs before me, and I COMPLETELY forgot to tell mark that Lairdriver couldn't make it (I just realized this now actually.) We ended up stepping on the decks @ 10PM, and played one of our tightest and best sets to date. All but the very near of my set, where Cofer touched my record while setting up Scratch. :p
The rest of the music the night was fantastic. Great sets by Chris, Jory, Mark, Xotec and Don Burns. The drinks were great, and only 3.50 (which is jokes compared to Toronto prices!) My only negative comment was the lack of sitting space downstairs. Half the chairs from upstairs should have been brought downstairs to provide sitting room. I couldn't dance the whole night, but wanted to hear the DJs, and ended up bringing my own chair down @ 3AM.
Great job Babylon. Thanks to Mark, and everybody else involved in making this event happen. It was great to be there.

Thanks to Der'Anged & Braincell for having me play this event. I've loved hartec for years, and it was great to play with him. I had a blast drinking with my cousin and highschool friend, and they had fun coming out to the party. There were a few technical issues, but we made due. The crowd seemed to enjoy our set, and we had those that were on the dance floor dancing.
Got there at about 11:30. Didn't pay attention to most of the sets, although Sprout & Bliz held it down each time I went near that room.
Thanks again Der'Anged. Don't let this party get you down, there has been lots of previous success, and there will be more.
Oh, and to supertroy: Myspace may suck, but it's a huge opportunity for promotion. Flyering sucks too, but it's something you should be doing to help ensure the success of events. It's membership base is huge, and since Der'Anged doesn't have an official website with updated information, it's necessary. Facebook requires memebrship, and a lot of people don't want to do that - or don't want to take place on PR. Limiting the people you can promote to is only limiting your attendance to an event.

Saturday Night was good. Bassteasers did a bang-up job on throwing a jam. One of the two most professional promoters i've ever worked for. I really wish I'd see more people with this kind of worth ethic in the all ages events, and there'd be hope for the scene.
Beat Freakers put on a great show, with track after track of floor killing tunes. A few original tunes that blew the floor off completely. They had the room packed and dancing their ass off. One of my favorite sets that they've played, that's fore sure.
The bar staff and security at Opium were uber friendly, and great to deal with.
I'd like to appologize for not bringing out the hardstyle as planned. When I stepped on the decks at four, the vibe was chilling out a little and people had already started leaving. I started off with trance that I had, and they loved it at first, but it really wasn't keeping the crowds. So i ended up playing some breaks and house, which surely kept peoples feet moving.
Good to see Brit, Che & his girl, Adam and many other people.
Thanks to Bassteasers for the great event, and I look forward the next!

Great night, from start to finish.
We started late due to a power outage that occurred on this street only, within a 3 block span. Pretty weird that it ended up being the only place without power.
Things were back up, we just had to start a little later. But MAJOR props goes to Alex, the owner of this venue, who went out of his way to PURCHASE a generator as a backup plan. What a freakin' awesome guy. Seriously.
The sets were all great, drunkenness occured, and good times were had.

It was my 7th WEMF. Not the best, but definitely one of my favorites, for various reasons.
This was the first year that it "wasn't about the music" for me. it was about the friends and the good times with them. Previously there were new acts that I really wanted to catch, or I was playing myself and had excitement built around that.
But, I still had a blast. The venue was my hometown, and that felt kinda weird. I didn't mind the 4/4 or Jungle room at all. the short carpet was great to dance on, and wasn't hard on your feet.
The DJ sets that I did catch (Reid Speed, Dj Icey, Mark Eg, Chris Liberator, MSTKRFT, Deadmau5) all put on great performances and great sets. The lighting and visuals were as good as any WEMF, and the vibe was awesome. The air circulation was also fantastic, considering the situation. Even with packed room, it wasn't really that hot....and things have been much worse before.
The only disappointment was the hardsounds stage. It seems like each year, they're not given serious consideration by the organizers. A few years ago, it was a back room sweat box with little-to-no access for the first 5 hours of saturday. It's also sad, because last year people ate the stuff up when the outdoors closed. The Hardcore room was the busiest it's been since Dunnville, even with the heat of that room in Tweed.
So, all in all a great WEMF with friends and my girlfriend, who survived her first. Thanks Destiny, and thanks to everybody who gave something for the food drive!
And to the people complaining about Pendulum, read the flyer. It said "Pendulum DJ set". It was one of the guys from Pendulum, playing their tracks. No, he wasn't playing a pre-recorded set....that's called a CDJ.
