Armin van Buuren was quite a night. It started of with standing at the exact same spot in the queue for 30 minutes and it took us an hour just to buy tickets. And i started queuing at 830. He actually started his set at 11 which was really surprising and he played for 3 hours. But it was crazy pack, at one point i just wanted to give up and leave the club but the music was too good. And i guess that was why so many people stayed 20 minutes after he had finished performing chanting “Armin, Armin, Armin”.
The crowd was fun and friendly, unlike most nights. Even though the furtherest person away from you is within kissing distance and and dancing anything more than a wriggle would result in bumping into random strangers, there were no fights. I guess that’s what good music does. Phuture was even closed! And that’s what good music does. Well done Armin van Buuren, well done.
