So, sure I was there... once in with the free purple wristband around 9p or so... not too much happening, so left... figured to go back to the hotel, only across the street and pack up for the next day's flight back... then I returned at around midnight with the internet prepurchase that I had in the first place. Much more happening, but the dj's rather confused me in the main room. I mean, they played this 1 billion BPM stuff for like 2 hours straight; doesn't seem like the way to warm a crowd up, but rather burn us out! :confused: I was pretty tired from the trip by about 2:30am, and still no sign of the Cox-man (!). Saw some techs go up and fool with the mic stands for apparently singers to come, but not much else. I really couldnt handle it much more and left!! So, no luck in seeing the supposed live experience (did catch the ladj movie, for whatever it's worth... haha).

So, did anyone actually stay the whole night and see this? How was it? Did it like start at 5:59am or something??? haha ... frustrating.. I so hate that. I thought Carl was supposed to be popping in and out all night (!)?

P.S. posted the above about a week ago in 'parties and clubs' but no responses; figured to move it here, maybe better place :rolleyes:
 
hmmm i was over there then but never went as we HAD to have a night of, my friend went though, she said it was good and the general buzz afterwards was that it was a good night.
 
Went there @ 8pm as shown in the ticket (bought over the net). "we open @ 8.30". come back @ 8.45, opens @ 9.15, muzik so so .... 2 hours later, wanted to take some money that was in my car (10m away from the entrance.. "impossible" said the 0,5 IQ guy at the entrance. left then and next time i'll be at space is not this century.

Never again.
 
excellent question ! didn't want to explain all but here we go : i had 200 € in my pocket. the club was closed @ 8pm so we went to KM5 to have a drink. the non-smiling girl was very angry that i had no change so she gave me back 190 € in 10 € banknotes... reason why we decided to take not all the money cause the way we were dressed was not practical to have 19 banknotes... ! that's the reason why i left some money in my car.
 
fair enough!!

I did notice this year that not very many people there smiled!! i put it down to being the end of a long season with long hours for the people who worked there, i worked for 3 months 13 hours a day serving people in a take away before i went away, buy the end i was that sick of it you were lucky if i even looked at the customers, i found long hours with one day a week of for three months in a boring repetative job seving drunk idiots allot changed my personality allot when i was working and its not something i liked.
 
i agree with you. but when you make people pay 30-50 € to enter your club, when you make them pay 12-15€ for a drink, you MUST have a service that is at leat "normal" and friendly. my opinion ! we are not only here to give money to promoters. my opinon :)
 
I was there too and stayed until the very end.
Problem is i'm still missing a lot of braincells and right now all i can remember from this night is:

************** 'just kick' *************** 'alter ego - rocker' *********** 'carl cox - give me your love (valentino kanzyani mix)' ************** 'call on me' *************


not particularly in this order

oh the ************* mark long minutes of total blackout :p :p :p

hopefully sooner or later i can find in my damaged memory some more details from that night and share it with u all :eek: :D
 
good try

I was there from 9 pm till 7 am. I have the same problem as fusion on the matter of braincells: not many left. What can I remember from Carl Cox that evening:
- on the terrace: AMAZING! He played all big hits from Ibiza 2004, for sure I remember "call me", maybe "strings of life", there was a girl singing while he was playing (but maybe it was in Amnesia La Troya), and there was this guy playing electronic drums (is that how you call it?) on a stage very close to me.

After midnight, everyone inside. To tell you guys the truth, I didn't pay much attention to who was playing. But I did see a black guy on the dance floor that looked just like Carl Cox, but I was told it wasn't him. I went to the terrace above and missed a great show, but was inside when those two ladies went through the dance floor giving flowers to the clubbers, and the performance of the lady with wings that looked like bat wings was very good.

Some friends stayed till 9 am, so I was told. I wasn't going to CCClosing, but since they gave purple free entry wristbands on Figueretas beach, wtf. I was planning on going back home aroung 12 or 1am, left at 7 pm. So, I think I liked it.
