Monika is not reachable, here phone went dead probably an hour ago.
11:40pm:
At the entrance of the club, I get stared at again! By mean Hawt looking girls..'Eww, Why is she wearing so many clothes!! Like who wears a sweater to a club? And stocking? And Flats!!'
Yea, some people do.
As we stood in the really long queue, those cute dynamic student organizers recognized me.
'Hey! We were wondering where you were! It would be impossible for you to not be here! Not a lot of girls love trance so much, you know!!'
Ha, Ha, I Know. Trust me, I know.
Ok, so my guy companion is really sweet. He is younger than me, still in college, and it is his first time attending something like 'this Armin guy's show'. Uh OK! 'this armin guy' hmmm..Well, to sum it up, he was harmless.
Waiting in the queue, Monika is NOWHERE to be found and her BATTERY is OUT. I can't see her. I can't get through to her on the phone either.So, I leave her pass at the entrance with a bouncer, show him a picture of hers in my phone, 'this is what she looks like!' I had to submit my camera at the door(what was I thinking! Why did I even bring it along?! I wasn't thinking I'll get pics with Armin, now would I!!). So we enter. I ask the huge bouncer if he could also keep my sweater, and I would take it on my way out.. He looks amused, 'NO WAY!!' He was taken aback by the absurdity of the request but also smiled at me, or maybe at how tiny I must have seemed to him from that height! :P
Inside the club: Armin had not started playing yet. Blake Jarrell was building up the tempo. We made it to the very front! In twenty mins, everyone went crazy shouting, and well Armin entered! He with his body guards, walked through the two feet space between the crowd and the stage. And his arm brushes against my slightly outstretched hand. And then the realization:
AAAHH.. am here! This is for real! He is real! I MADE IT! I MAADEEE IT!!!
But, Where is MONIKA!!! Oh, she will be fine. She is probably inside by now! It is too crowded and I can't leave this spot in the front, I can't stand in between the crowd, I will suffocate..but I am sure, SURE, that we'll find each other...
So, Armin plays his set, creates his magic. It is absolutely awesome! His crowd interaction is brilliant!..He makes eye contact with his crowd! Wait, Did he just WINK at me?? No WAYYY , It is not possible! I imagined it, right? I look around to see if there were other girls around me, none. It was for real. So what?! If he does it in every show, I am glad he picked MEE!!! AAAAH!
MUSIC madness, absolute ECSTASY. It had found me. Talk about a dream coming true... and HOW.
12:30 am:
The bouncer at the gate was brought inside on duty, probably because the crowd was going insane! Incidentally, he stood right in front of the area where I was standing.. I asked him by gesticulating and because of the context, he was able to tell me that Monika had entered! Thank God!
Half an hour later, I found Monika! Her hug lifted me off the floor!!! It was just magical. My sense of accomplishment, Armin, Trance, Monika,.. all of it put together was insane!
We enjoyed the music till 3.00am.The encores kept Armin on stage till 3.45am. Time had just stopped for me, no feeling can describe it. Alcohol is not required but Red Bulls and lots of water, yes please!
Finally, Armin was done playing!!! At last he left the stage...and Blake Jarrell took over.
The crowd began to thin out. My guy companion had also left, he had an exam on Monday. I happened to see one of the organizers, looking absolutely exhausted.. I asked him where Armin was and if I could see him.. He told me, that security was really tight and he himself was not able to get the opportunity. Oh well, never mind.
As I waited outside the super full women's washroom, I looked around and saw three bouncers outside the male washroom. Hmm.. brainwave number 3. I just went and stood in front of the three bouncers and asked coyly, 'Is it absolutely impossible for me to get a picture with Armin?' I was empty handed,I didn't even have my phone with me, and I must have been looking completely harmless. The Indian bouncer and Armin's imported bouncer had an argument for five minutes,while I waited in the background. Then the white, who happened to have the heaviest voice boomed, 'Just let her go!'
The door opened and just like that, I found him, sitting four feet away ona bench, sipping red wine.
My brain froze, speech slurred.. I extended my hand, we shook hands! "oh my goddd.... ' .As he made eye contact and smiled at me, I realized that he was in no hurry, no one would push me out and I could actually talk to him!... I took a deep breath..
