<p>Halloween is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. And one of the greatest reasons is that all hot women use it as an excuse to dress slutty.</p>
<p>Every girl is a slutty cat, a slutty witch, or a slutty cheerleader.</p>
<p>And I gotta say that I just love that.</p>
<p>So when the girls are putting out extra sexy vibes, with a little bit of strategy on our parts as men, we can all get laid this holiday season. Let me start with two classic mistakes (that I&#8217;ve made).</p>
<h2>The Braveheart</h2>
<p>When I was in college, I dressed up as William Wallace my freshman year. The costume was genius. I looked amazing. I had a blue kilt, matching Scottish gear, and all the blue facepaint.</p>
<p>And let me tell you that shit got all over my white shirt. I don&#8217;t know how clowns wear that crap without it getting everywhere. I know there is some technique out there, but I still don&#8217;t know how to do it.</p>
<p>Girls spend forever getting ready when they go out and there are about a million reasons why painting your face will keep them from touching you. Just one sneaky kiss and everyone will know you hooked up for starters. There&#8217;s no chance for any dark corner action.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t paint your face. Nobody wants to bang a clown.</p>
<h2>Too Cute</h2>
<p>The cuter your costume the stronger your game has to be.  If you are a total legend like me, you can get away with wearing a full body Tigger costume.  If you are an even bigger legend like my buddy Ollie, you will borrow my Tigger costume and then bang a girl while you are both inside of it.</p>
<div id="attachment_3422" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 238px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3422" title="TiggerPaladin" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/TiggerPaladin.jpg" alt="TiggerPaladin Get Laid for Halloween" width="228" height="304" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Notice the badass Tigger beard</p></div>
<p>You should always learn away from cute and towards a sexy, bad boy image this Holiday season.  If you dress up as a chipmunk, or the boy from Where The Wild Things Are, then you have to have a strong enough personality to cover up the assumption that you are a weak kid.</p>
<h2>Too Lame</h2>
<p>There is nothing worse than when you are wearing a costume and nobody gets it.  Don&#8217;t be the guy dressed as a &#8220;normal dude.&#8221;  And don&#8217;t be the guy dressed as something obscure that people have to ask like fifty questions to figure out that they still don&#8217;t get it.</p>
<p>Here is a sweet picture of me as Wolverine for Halloween in 2002 I believe.  This was before all the X-men movies.  Therefore nobody got it.  But this IS definitive proof that I was rocking a Wolverine look before I ever heard of Hypnotica.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3423" title="WolverinePaladin" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WolverinePaladin.jpg" alt="WolverinePaladin Get Laid for Halloween" width="336" height="448" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And last but not least don&#8217;t be the one guy not wearing a costume.  That just makes you a prick.</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t Carry Something</h2>
<p>If you carry it you will regret it.  And probably lose it.   This means nunchucks, swords, scepters and anything else you gotta carry in your hand.  Somewhere during the night you will probably lose it.</p>
<p>So there is no percentage in carrying that crap around.  It will only cause you problems.  If you have a drink in one hand and a sword in the other, what hands are you going to touch her boobs with?  I love swords but I love touching boobs more.</p>
<h1>How to Do It Right</h1>
<h2>Take a Sexy Archetype</h2>
<p>Pick a character that already has sexy attached to it &#8211; pirate, motorcycle badboy etc.  I don&#8217;t want to tell you exactly what costume to get but you want to get one that is about 10% beyond your personality to push yourself.  You want it to be something simple that she&#8217;ll get.</p>
<div id="attachment_3425" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 548px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3425" title="PirateAndPaladin" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/PirateAndPaladin.jpg" alt="PirateAndPaladin Get Laid for Halloween" width="538" height="403" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Can you even tell what my costume is? The pirate got WAY more action that night.</p></div>
<p>If your costume is good, then women will approach you to comment on it.</p>
<p>You can also just dress like a sexy celebrity.  Think Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon in any of their movies.  But again you gotta make it super clear who you are dressed up as, or you&#8217;ll run into problems.</p>
<h2>Only wear a Half Mask</h2>
<p>You can wear a mask on Halloween.  It adds a sense of mystery or the forbidden.  I have a half gasmask that only covers my nose and mouth.  Gotten laid wearing it.  And I love wearing my Venetian mask.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3427" title="PaladinsMask" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/PaladinsMask.jpg" alt="PaladinsMask Get Laid for Halloween" width="383" height="287" /></p>
<p>This is the very mask the night I slept with the Mouse.  I couldn&#8217;t find a picture of me wearing it, but this is a hot girl borrowing it because she loved it so much.  Please forgive the picture, I was hammered when I took it, but this chick is seriously sexy.</p>
<p>If you wear a full mask there is too much mystery.  There could be anything under there.  If you wear a half mask, her mind will fill in the gaps and make your more handsome.  If she can only really see your eyes and mouth, then you are in great shape.  Everyone has nice eyes.</p>
<h2>Costume = Approach Invitation</h2>
<p>If a girl is wearing a costume she wants you to walk up to her.  That is a FACT.  If she didn&#8217;t want people to mention her costume, she wouldn&#8217;t be wearing one.  Remember that everyone is insecure.  So you can walk up and say, &#8220;great costume&#8221; to every single woman you see next weekend.</p>
<p>This is why it&#8217;s crucial that you wear a costume.  If you compliment her costume and you&#8217;re not wearing one, it&#8217;s hard for her to say something back.  Plus you look like a dick.  Plus you are ruining my favorite holiday.</p>
<h2>Wear Your Costume a Day Early and a Day Late</h2>
<p>There is nothing better than being the only guy wearing a costume.  Every single girl will approach you.  As long as you have the confidence to back it up, you will get a bunch of free attention.  It&#8217;s like peacocking but way less obvious!</p>
<p>When anyone points out that you&#8217;re the only one wearing a costume just say that you love Halloween.  A strong frame turns being the odd man out into a MAJOR advantage.</p>
<h2>When I Wear Wings I Get Laid</h2>
<p>This one doesn&#8217;t come with a guarantee but everytime I wear Angel Wings I get laid.  As I am writing this I realize that my wings are missing.  I wonder if I left them in Europe.  I had a pair that I gave my oneitis when I was in Japan.  In fact that picture of me with the pirate is from that Halloween.  She left them behind and I kept them.</p>
<p>Turns out they were lucky after all!</p>
<p>There is something about a man wearing wings that just turns women on.  Then again I am turned on by a woman wearing wings.  The first time I wore wings was to make myself more confident like one week after learning that pickup existed &#8211; and I got laid.  It&#8217;s one of my first blog posts actually.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have any solid pictures of me in those wings.  Sorry for that.</p>
<h2>Leave a Comment Ya Bastards!</h2>
<p>I know how many of you guys are reading these articles.  Now that it&#8217;s hundreds every day I expect some comment love.  So tell me what costume you&#8217;re gonna wear and next week tell me that ya got laid!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>I spent 24 hours celebrating my 29th birthday with a host of my lovely friends.  I have to say that it was one hell of a crazy and hectic night&#8230;ok it lasted two nights. I started by hitting White Wedding.</p>
<p>At least 30 or 40 lovely people showed up just for me.  From TeaBag to YumYum.  It was really amazing.  I remember a lot of shots and cocktails.  I cut the sleeves off my tuxedo to show off my glamour muscles.</p>
<p>I put a new temp tattoo on my right bicep.  Lord of the Rings.  One ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them.  Let&#8217;s be honest.  I looked badass redneck.<span id="more-1323"></span>Originally ghost was gonna cut off his sleeves too, but of course at the last minute he chickened out.  He&#8217;s a great housemate, but he just lacks the power to go full awesome.  I was chilling with some lovely people and then YumYum finally shows up.  And he has cut off his entire shirt.</p>
<p>Attention stealing bastard.</p>
<p>Everyone really looked great.  I met a ton of people and took a ton of pictures.   At one point I did a ten minute photo session upstairs.  Only one of the photos got posted to their site, but it looks awesome and it&#8217;s my new facebook profile photo.  Unfortunately, they ended the party at like 130.  And I think we all know that that is way too soon.  So Iceberg dropped a bunch of us off at Cable. I have never been to the club before, but the girl with us was worried that we wouldn&#8217;t get in with our outfits.</p>
<p>I gotta say that is was one filthy club and dropped the worst techno ever.  I swear I think they played only one record the entire five hours or something that we were there.  I met some girl at the bar with really cool boobs.  I must have chatted to her almost an hour.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I was super drunk and she slipped through my fingers. I saw her again a few hours later, but wasn&#8217;t able to chat anymore.  I met some other girls through Ghosts &#8220;friend.&#8221;  They were calling me Hitch, so I knew I would have to yap about work.  In my experience talking about work with girls gets them excited, but also keeps my dick outside of their vaginas.  I was so hammered, but this still proved to be the case.  One of the girls was cute, but no dice.</p>
<p>Around 6 or something Ghost, YumYum and I decide to call it quits.  Ghost was ready to leave the moment we walked in anyways.  So we left his &#8220;lady-friend&#8221; and jumped in a taxi. I throw YumYum on the couch and hit the sack.</p>
<p>By noon he is crawling into my bed and trying to convince me to go to the Church.  This is a crazy Australian day club in north London.  Everyone wears costumes and drinks a ton of Fosters.  At first I was hating it.  Most of the girls weren&#8217;t that pretty and I hate drinking beer.  It&#8217;s just so much hard word to get twisted!  Even in my debauchery I like to be efficient.</p>
<p>At some point October and Machine joined us.  I chatted to Machine about the possibility of living together in Hawaii in a few months.  That would be super badass.  So we chat up some girls for a bit and eventually a girl pulls my shirt off.  At this point things start to get a bit hazy.  I found pictures of me kissing at least 5 different girls in my camera.  Which is a pretty good result. After Church closed we went to a Walkabout in west London.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bday29.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1813  aligncenter" title="LondonPaladin turns 29 at church in London" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bday29-300x225.jpg" alt="bday29 300x225 One Hell of a Birthday" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>That bastard YumYum kept buying vodka and redbull.  You should never have more than one of these in a single day.  For real. So we were partying and kept meeting new girls all over this joint.  I kissed two really pretty girls.  But I only know this from my camera.  Glad I brought it for once!  I lost Yums for at least an hour in there somewhere.</p>
<p>I remember I was outside talking to a really hot black girl and we just started making out.  Then Yums comes out and is really crying.  He can&#8217;t find either of his jackets and he&#8217;s cold. So I leave the girl behind to help him.</p>
<p>We look all over the club and after 30 minutes find his gear.  Right as the joint is closing.  For some reason I actually got this girls number, which I never do, and I started texting her.  I was taking care of Yums, who had been blacked out for hours and was making a scene in front of McDonalds.  I can only say that it was pretty special.</p>
<p>Finally, I am like dude you HAVE to let me try and get laid.  I walk off to find my girl.</p>
<p>Needless to say I get the most dramatic phone call of my life from him.  He is on about how I&#8217;ll never see him again and he&#8217;s going off to war and he loves and misses me.  It was insane. I find the girl and get a few kisses out of her.  She goes home with her friends though and I am left stranded hours from my apartment.</p>
<p>I have missed the last train based on false intel from YumYum! I end up waiting almost an hour for a bus to my house and of course some dude starts talking to me at the bus stop.  He gives me a flyer to LOOK AT and then takes it back.  I really wanted to throw it away and he stole that right from me!!!</p>
<p>I gotta say it&#8217;s impressive how people can start a conversation with someone on the street and end by asking for spare change.  My 2nd time in a week at a bus stop.   I&#8217;m sure you remember the guy last week who threatened to knife me and then asked for change.</p>
<p>People are pretty drawn to my awesome. I have a date with the black girl later today.  She might cancel as I just posted my facebook pics from the festivities&#8230;.Or maybe she will be glad that she was the last girl I kissed on my bender.  Also, my tongue was super sore from a full day!</p>

<p>The biggest stress of Global Gathering was getting in. You are trapped in a huge press of sweaty people all carrying a weekends worth of gear and chanting to be let in.  Whoever designed the gate policy was an idiot.  If they had searched every person, like they were doing at first, it would have taken 2 full days to let everyone in.  The police seemed totally focused on finding people who had small personal quantities of gear and taking them away.  Super boring.  I mean is it really a good use of a police dog?</p>
<p>Once we got through the whole security thing it was much smoother.  None of us were even searched in the end.  They just started letting people through in waves.  Throughout the weekend I ran into probably 20 dealers.  Holy crap dealers in this country are creepy as fuck.  I mean they all seemed like child molesters or worse to me.  And the police behavior probably forced a lot of people to keep these dudes in business.</p>
<p>Once we got through and set up our 3 tents, things were ok.  Lady Jaye took over my tent.  So I was going to have to share with YumYum.  We all changed and chilled out a little bit.  Needed to relax to recover from our longass car journey.  That was beyond brutal.  We thought it was take around 2 hours, but it took closer to 4.  On the way we discovered that YumYum sucks at giving directions.  It took us ages to find him and we ended up trying to go through the gate at a military base.  That was a little disconcerting.</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t even have a tent or any supplies.  So we hit the Argos near his house.  We somehow managed to leave Argos with the cheapest tent in the universe and a giant Stormtrooper helmet.  That was fun since I wore it most of the way to the festival.  I learned that a lot of people in the UK are so lame.  So many average looking girls gave us dirty looks.  But some cool people waved and YumYum even passed a beer to a car passing us.</p>
<p><span id="more-1244"></span>So back at the festival we ground our way through a ton of gear and I was rocking a serious smile for two whole days.  It took some of my crew two weeks to recover from all the partying.  Sometimes you just run out of seratonin.  Hehe.  Honestly it was an awesome festival.</p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t talk to too many strangers as we had a good crew.  We split up into twos a lot.  Mostly it was me and Lady Jaye as a twoset, since the other guys didn&#8217;t really know her.  We hit all the stages and had so much fun.  We tried not to get split up too often, but when you&#8217;re all smiles it&#8217;s hard you know?</p>
<p>We had a ton of fun and the crowd vibe was really cool.  YumYum&#8217;s girlfriend was there and that was really exciting.  Just the other day I was talking to him and it turned out to be her on his facebook.  I feel like that is never ok,  but I guess some people feel that in a relationship you need to be able to pretend to be the other person.</p>
<p>The highlight of the festival was making my first new rave friend in ages.  He lives in Birmingham and is super awesome.  It was so random but we chilled for 3-4 hours on Sat night in the progressive tent.  I randomly ran into him on saturday in London and finally got his number.  Lady Jaye recognized him and saved the day.</p>
<p>The end of the fest was terrifying as YumYum tried to set the tents on fire and then he tried to kiss me.  It was great because it lasted for the entire drive home too.  That was beyond terrifying.  I kept falling asleep in the car and he launched a never-ending assault.</p>

<p>This party was awesome.  I will break it down into sections in a moment, but for me it was a dream come true.  I will right a separate account of my experiences and a field report as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1219991076_328.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1866" title="Global Gathering Review" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1219991076_328-300x199.jpg" alt="1219991076 328 300x199 Global Gathering 2009   Review" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<h1>The Bad</h1>
<p>Let&#8217;s get this part out of the way first.  There was a real hassle getting into the festival.  They had a tiny entrance and about 5 tables of security, so searches were taking ages.  People started rioting so they just started letting people in faster and faster.  I actually never got searched.  They did have a police dog working the gate though.  Based on what I saw inside the festival, this was retarded.  The creepiest guys on earth were dealing at this festival.  At least in America the dealers look like the ravers.  Basically if you saw a black person there was a 95% chance they were dealing.  I only saw a few dudes there just having fun.  To be fair there were also really creepy Polish dealers too.<span id="more-1238"></span>The only problem I had with other people in the fest was in the last hour of the final night.  Some chavs were really looking for a fight.  We left 15mins before the last dj finished to just get away from all that crap.  Security wasn&#8217;t really paying attention.  But to be fair it was 545am on a Sunday morning.</p>
<h1>The People</h1>
<p>This festival was more than 80% chavs and tracksuit type people.  I looked around and my first thought was oh crap.  But actually the vibe was really good at this festival.  Everyone was cool until the last hour.  There was a really good energy and everyone was there to have fun.  I didn&#8217;t really have to deal with any crap and my mood never shifted.  I have been to a lot of raves and vibe is EVERYTHING.  Overall I rate all the people that came to GG.  Chavs aren&#8217;t so bad when they are just out to have fun, instead of ruin everyone else&#8217;s. I even met a really cool rave friend at Digweed and hopefully he will add me on facebook.  It reminded me of the rave friends I met at parties when I was 19.  It was a really good memory for me.</p>
<h1>The Facilities</h1>
<p>There were no showers.  So good lord.  I mean I was so shocked by that.  I guess it is only two days, but seriously!  Otherwise the food was fine and not too expensive.  The booze flowed really well.  They did run out of water at the end of the night saturday.  They had only one pipe to refill water bottles somewhere.  I never even saw it.  I was fine though.  My set never actually ran out.  I stocked up just in time!!</p>
<h1>The Music</h1>
<p>Let&#8217;s be honest this is what you want to hear about.  I have waited almost two weeks to right this so I will still try to stay on point, but we all know I don&#8217;t have perfect memory!  I am trying to decide if I should go in order of awesomeness or in order of appearance.  I think I will do the latter, since I can&#8217;t decide who was the most awesome! Ok crap.  I can&#8217;t really remember the order too good.  But I can remember who I saw! Aahaha</p>
<h1>Friday</h1>
<h2>Chris Lake</h2>
<p>I saw him first for only about twenty minutes.  I wanted to check him out because I love a couple of his tunes.  Carry Me Away is so amazing.  His set was ok.  I mean he was playing at like 4pm the 1st day, but he wasn&#8217;t dropping amazing trance on my head.  I could only describe what I heard as ok.  I mean I was really catching my vibe and all, but it was a little too housey for me.</p>
<h2>Erol Alkan</h2>
<p>YumYum fucking loves this guy, so I gotta be careful what I say.  Basically it wasn&#8217;t my style.  He was loving it and the crowd was going nutz so I can&#8217;t complain really.  I just am not in a good place to judge it.  I&#8217;m not into electro.  YumYum can give a better review of the set.  I think for Erol it was just ok.  I will ask Yum again and change that if he says dif.</p>
<h2>Fedde le Grand</h2>
<p>I can&#8217;t remember his set!  Sorry guys.  I will ask Iceberg if he remembers.  Ahaha. (Wait the order is at least 90% right.)</p>
<h2>Scratch Perverts</h2>
<p>There set was cool but, and I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m saying this, it was a bit obvious.  They were playing mostly DnB with a lil of the hip hop mixed in.  Basically it was tracks I heard ages ago.  They were dropping tracks people really loved over a year ago.  Now the scratching was cool and they actually didn&#8217;t overdo it.  That part was nice.  I mean with scratch DJs that is a real risk that they get so caught up in their DMC crap that they forget people like to dance.  Overall I thought the 30mins I saw was good.  It wasn&#8217;t life changing but I DID have a good time dancing.</p>
<h2>The Prodigy</h2>
<p>I have mixed feelings about this set.  I enjoyed the music and that was awesome but the crowd turned nuts.  It makes sense.  The prodigy are the punk band of electronic music.  I mean they played all their badass hits and I was able to hear them between trips to the water tent and toilets etc.  Hehe.  Honestly when they played Breathe I was so happy.  When I got into the front of the crowd it was just too intense.  A ton of dudes were moshing.  The crowd was full of guys even bigger than Iceberg and he left because his feet kept getting stomped. The girl with me was really stressed when we were near the stage so we had to squeeze out.  It was simply too intense.  The music was awesome, I do recommend just chilling near the back of the crowd.  Great sound and a killer show.</p>
<h2>David Guetta</h2>
<p>I know he&#8217;s a big super store, but I kinda don&#8217;t really know that much about him.  I know 2 or 3 of his hits.  He wasn&#8217;t playing exactly trance though.  It was more like House but damn I loved it.  He played really sexy tunes and got the crowd just going insane.  He played killer tunes and rocked my world.  Simply an amazing set.  Top notch.</p>
<h2>Paul van Dyk</h2>
<p>He just lived up to his reputation.  It was really good.  I only caught part of the set but it was classic as always.  I guess for me the fact that PvD kinda always sounds the same wears me out.  He plays amazing tunes but I really like different vibes from different DJs.  If you like amazing high-quality trance, then this is a guy worth seeing.  It was really nice.</p>
<h2>Stanton Warriors</h2>
<p>Only caught 20 minutes but it was really cool.  Some sexy breaks.  I wasn&#8217;t super in a breaks mood, but I really enjoyed it for the time I was there.  If you have heard some of their stuff, then you know what to expect.  The crowd was enjoying it and it was all good.</p>
<h2>Tiga</h2>
<p>I was really excited to see him after reading about him a few years ago.  I really like the tunes of his that I have heard.  Unfortunately, his set simply sucked.  I wasn&#8217;t feeling any of the tunes.  I was bored and apparently everyone else was.  The tent was pretty empty.  Oh well.</p>
<h1>Saturday</h1>
<h2>Eric Prydz</h2>
<p>His set was really cool.  It was a little bit housey for my taste.  I mean honestly it was a wicked set.  It&#8217;s a little bit hard to enjoy it with the sun still out.  He is a wicked Dj.  I can&#8217;t remember too much of the set but when he dropped his current hit YumYum went nuts and THAT is a good sign!</p>
<h2>Orbital</h2>
<p>Fuck me!  They were so awesome I can&#8217;t even explain it.  I wish I was going to more of their festivals.  I&#8217;m tempted to cancel Creamfields and stay in London to see them again.  Honestly,  they DESTROYED it.  I have heard some of their stuff since my first weekend in the UK.  My first friend here loves them.  And you know what.  He is a genius.  If you like music at all you have to see Orbital.  They really brought the noise at this festival and were the highlight of the main stage and maybe the whole festival.</p>
<h2>Armin van Buuren</h2>
<p>Boom!  What a killer trance DJ.  His set was awesome and had such a good flow.  I was really feeling it and it was a good time.  He played some sexy tunes and it kept it all smooth.  It was a lovely little trip.  Ironically, the better sets get the shorter review.  It was really smooth.</p>
<h2>Markus Schulz</h2>
<p>You know he is my favorite DJ and he rocked my world at Ministry and he didn&#8217;t disappoint.  He plays such a deep form of progressive.  I really like it and I loved his set.  Unfortunately, the sound in this tent was too quiet and affected all of the DJs throughout the night.  But really he is great and hits me right in the emotions.  Deeeeeep.</p>
<h2>Gareth Emery</h2>
<p>He was really good.  I listen to his podcast constantly and I was glad to finally hear him live.  I might have seen him before, but I can&#8217;t be sure&#8230;.hehe.  He is a really sound DJ that dropped some really good tunes.  He drops some progressive onto that trance.  It was really smooth.</p>
<h2>John Digweed</h2>
<p>He simply still has it.  What an amazing DJ.  I need to see him more and more.  I loved Digweed when I saw him 10 years ago.  The tunes he played were so deep and so insane.  Man this guy is a DJ worth seeing.  I feel like maybe people have forgotten that he basically created Progressive House.  My biggest regret of the festival is that I didn&#8217;t see 100% of his set.  I can&#8217;t wait to see him again.  Really!</p>
<h2>Sander Kleinenberg</h2>
<p>Total letdown.  When I saw him at Ultra in Miami a few years ago he played with a killer VJ and he destroyed it.  This time he let me down.  The set was supposed to be so cool as he was controlling the visuals.  It was so average.  The visuals were ok and the music was ok.  Seriously I know he has the ability to destroy it so that made the let down even worse.  Especially after what Digweed did.</p>
<h2>Menno de Jong</h2>
<p>He played the final set I saw.  The tunes were really good.  I  have liked a lot of his stuff in the past.  The sound was simply too quiet.  It&#8217;s a shame.  I really liked what he was doing and I would have liked to really feel it, but the sound was just killing me by this point.  I mean I don&#8217;t like my music too loud but everyone was complaining.  I will try to see this guy again.  He has good tunes and his mixes were spot on.</p>
<h1>Conclusion</h1>
<p>Man what a great weekend.  The only problem was the music ended way too early on Friday and the trouble at the gates.  Overall the festival is simply too short.  They overstack the Sat DJs and they just don&#8217;t have enough action on Friday night.  I would like a more balanced experience.  I didn&#8217;t really like all the rides and that crap but the people with me did and that is good enough for me.  The festival is trying to cater to a mixed crowd and I get that.  They just need nicer toilets. If you like good music then you should hit this fest!  I loved it!!!</p>

<p>As the only American at Urban Art Forms this year, I think it is my duty to take the time to write out a full and detailed review.&nbsp; So I will cover the basics now.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/LondonPaladin-Urban-Art-Forms-Review.jpg"><img alt="LondonPaladin Urban Art Forms Review 300x225 Urban Art Forms 2009 Review" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1932" height="225" src="http://www.organicseduction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/LondonPaladin-Urban-Art-Forms-Review-300x225.jpg" title="LondonPaladin Urban Art Forms Review" width="300" /></a></p>
<h2>The Weather</h2>
<p>It rained pretty heavily for most of the time I was there.&nbsp; The stages are actually on proper flooring, not on a field, so the festival wasn&#39;t really affected.&nbsp; The tent area however, turned into a mudbath.&nbsp; It was totally crazy.&nbsp; All the locals seemed to have wellies with them, so they adapted nicely.</p>
<h2>The Facilities</h2>
<p>The provided several sets of indoor toilets and showers.&nbsp; The quality was pretty high and they didn&#39;t seem to run out of toilet paper.&nbsp; Make sure you bring some of your own just to be safe, along with a towel and one euro coins for the showers!&nbsp; The whole place was pretty nice and everything was within 10 minutes walking.&nbsp; Some of the toilets did get clogged during the festival, but there seemed to be staff there all the time trying to clean up etc. </p>
<p>The stages were divided into two areas, so you could spend 30 minutes getting out of one area and through security of the next.&nbsp; This was kind of annoying, as I love psytrance!&nbsp; The decorations were pretty good and the food and beer were not TOO overpriced.&nbsp; Certainly more than most pubs in Austria, but less than a lot of high end clubs in London.&nbsp; The food was tasty, although I brought a lot of my own as well.&nbsp; Good way to get through it all. </p>
<p>Near the psytrance tent they had a drug testing setup as well.&nbsp; Similar to what DanceSafe does.&nbsp; They would test everyone&#39;s gear to make sure no one got poisoned etc.&nbsp; I think in this day and age that is a really important thing.&nbsp; Safety first!&nbsp; Also a few of my friends had to go by the first aid station.&nbsp; They had a proper doctor there in addition to all the ambulances.&nbsp; The medical treatment was pretty quality in my book.</p>
<h2>The People</h2>
<p>Austrians are really friendly and amazing.&nbsp; I wasn&#39;t sure what to expect, but everyone I met was so cool and shared their supplies.&nbsp; I made some new friends.&nbsp; The girls in Austria are pretty as well, so if you&#39;re at the festival looking for that it&#39;s possible.&nbsp; I was so busy with my friends and rushing to see all the DJs etc, that I only met a few girls.&nbsp; I was the only American there and a lot of people were shocked and didn&#39;t believe I was from Los Angeles. </p>
<p>You can definately come to this festival alone and not have to worry about having a killer time and making amazing friends.&nbsp; It all really flows nicely.&nbsp; The vibe was really positive.&nbsp; I did see one fight at the back of the main stage though.&nbsp; It ended quickly and the first thing I heard someone say was, &quot;Germans&#8230;&quot;&nbsp; I thought that was hilarious.&nbsp; Austrians kick ass.</p>
<h2>The Music</h2>
<p>This is what you really want to hear about.&nbsp; If you like psytrance or drum and bass, then this festival is a no brainer.&nbsp; It&#39;s cheap, not too crowded and these stages were amazing.&nbsp; All of the DJs I saw were awesome and the vibe was so cool.&nbsp; The mainstage was a mix of genres, mostly focusing on techno.&nbsp; I have to say that Deadmau5 was awesome.&nbsp; Definately the highlight of the show for me.&nbsp; Personally, I really love trance and that was sorely missing at the festival.&nbsp; Overall, the sound quality was insane and never too loud.&nbsp; They had sound engineers all over the place constantly checking levels.&nbsp; That part was really top notch.&nbsp; If you like any of the DJs on the lineup, then I definately recomend checking out this festival.</p>

<p>I would love to tell you about all the girls I pull in Austria, but too many drugs, laziness and friends all got in the way.  It was a sick trip and I had a really good time.  I realized what an idiot I am when I found two pills in my pocket in Austria.  Next time I fly I should check that shit!   I guess I am pretty dumb.  I dunno what keeps me out of jail besides sweet, sweet luck.  The passport control lady freaked me out on my way back in.  I&#8217;m not gonna travel for a while now. Wanna grad from uni!!!</p>
<p>I have to say that Deadmau5 is pretty awesome live.  Really good show and one hell of a mouse helmet.  I happened to be wearing my Danger Mouse shirt, so it was twice as good for me.  I made friends with several really cool Austrian dudes, who smoked me out all weekend.  I look forward to returning the favor when they come to visit me this summer.</p>
<p>Also, gotta say I love my new tent and sleeping bag and I learned a lot about camping on a slope in the rain.  Next festival I will do better!!!</p>

<p>Last night was another classic rave night with my club crew.  YumYum, Iceberg and I hit up Hidden in south London for a free hard house party.  Yums had some reservations about the party being full of shaved head troublemakers and I had a feeling there would be good vibes and cute girls in cute costumes.  Turns out we were both right.  There were a lot of creepy people there, but also a lot of cool ones.  The tunes were hard as hell and more than I could normally deal with, but I took a pill and it all worked out in the end.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="ClubGirls" src="http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm170/LondonPaladin/ClubGirls1.jpg" alt="ClubGirls1 Where I belong" width="320" height="213" /></p>
<p>Everyone was in a really friendly vibe and we just had a good time.  About an hour into the party I see two beautiful girls on the dancefloor right next to the decks, just going for it.  Now since I am really into dancing, I am into freedom of expression.  When people just dance to dance.  That is my scene.  My home.  So these girls were exaclty the kind of girls I got into game to meet.  I&#8217;m focused on my boys though, so we have a proper stomp kinda near the girls and then we drift away without thinking about it&#8230;.<span id="more-892"></span></p>
<p>We go outside for a smoke and see them by the heat lamp.  Boom.  We open them in a super casual way.  It didn&#8217;t even feel like opening.  This is what I&#8217;ve done thousands of time.  We roll into conversation and my girl is just super cool.  She&#8217;s really pretty and got good vibes.  We chat about this and that.  She brings up loving travel and other things.  We keep overhearing YumYum.  He is saying the weirdest stuff.  But somehow the girl is loving it.  I learned a lot off him last night.  Talk about not caring.  It is really powerful.  So we chat to the girls for a while and Iceberg is just rolling with it and hanging with us.  Normally 3 guys and 2 girls would be weird.  But this wasn&#8217;t a pickup club and none of us had that vibe.  It was just like a group of cool people partying.</p>
<p>We go back inside together for a stomp in the laser room.  I love lasers and at some point texted my house mate demanding to know why we don&#8217;t have a laser in our apartment.  Hehe.  So the girls go to the bathroom and I just have a good stomp with the boys.  I didn&#8217;t even see them come back in.  We see them by the stage getting hit on by two dudes in matching black vests.  I really just don&#8217;t care.  I need to care even less though.  We go up and dance with them a bit and ignore the dudes.  The girls just became part of our good time.</p>
<p>Then I forget what happened, but we split up from them for a while again.  We split up and ran into them 4-5 times.  It&#8217;s so good to be in a club doing what I love.  So that even when I&#8217;m not talking to girls I can have a really good time.  To be honest if it had been a trance club I wouldn&#8217;t have even talked to the girls.  I&#8217;m so into that music.  But it was a cool time and we would drift and catch them and dance a bit.  Then drift off and do our thing.  We just went to the room that had the music we liked, rather than the girls in it.</p>
<p>We go outside to talk to our two girls and are sitting snuggled up with them to stay warm.  They confess that Yum&#8217;s girl has a scottish fetish and mine has a beard fetish.  Sweet!  I am not acting like my normal self.  I basically didn&#8217;t do any kino on my girl.  I was in just such a mellow mood.  I really liked talking to this girl.  She kept filling the silences.  I respect normal conversation.  Plus she&#8217;s ridden in a helicopter.  I feel it&#8217;s time to split the girls up so I take mine in for a stomp.  We are on the dancefloor and find Iceberg to join us.  We can see Yum getting dragged up the stairs to the balcony by his girl and suddenly she just pulls him down onto the couch.  We start laughing.  Eventually all 5 of us are dancing again then the girls go off to the toilets.</p>
<p>I might have this out of order.  If that&#8217;s the case blame the drugs.  But I am dancing with my girl on the dancfloor and the vest guys show up.  They start trying to game our girls and man do I not care.  One tries to amog Yums by saying he smells.  Yums couldn&#8217;t care less.  They physically get between us and the girls.  Now I find agression boring and Iceberg is huge.  But whatever.  We are in our own world and ignore the dudes.  I see the guy take off his sunglasses to put on my girl.  He takes a pic of her with her camera.  I&#8217;m like oh she is stealing those.  I come up to her a little later and we start grinding right there.  Safe&#8230;</p>
<p>We get distracted by music and change rooms some.  We see the girls in the smoking section later and we are snuggled on the ground.  She asks if Yum likes her friend, because she really likes him.  Safe.  I say of course and that I&#8217;m just talking to her so he can talk to his girl.  A little push pull.  But it wasn&#8217;t strategic.  It was me being my normal jokey self.  Then my girl starts taking pictures and I mention how every dude has taken pictures with them, but not me yet.  So we take 3 photos.  The last one is me in almost kiss position.  Then we do kiss and she is a really sweet kisser.  It was really nice at first there was no tongue and slowly she worked towards it.  It was refreshing.  When I pull away I say &#8220;interesting.&#8221;  She goes &#8220;what?&#8221;  I immediately say &#8220;interesting good!&#8221;  Phew. I explain why I liked it so we kiss some more.  It&#8217;s nice.  Then vest boy shows up to ask for his glasses back.  She compains to me about how he wouldn&#8217;t leave her alone and he only talked to her about drugs and not normal stuff.  All into my knowledge bank.</p>
<p>We tell the girls we are gonna leave with Iceberg, but then we decide to stay with them for another hour for the main dj.  They dance near the front and Yums and I dance on our own.  The girls didn&#8217;t even know we were there.  It really built up their attraction.  His nonchalance is powerful.  I kept wanting to go dance with the girls but he wouldn&#8217;t let me.  So with 5 minutes to go we join them at the front for the last song.  Right after they run off so Yums and I slowly go get our coats.  He thinks they&#8217;ve gone home, but I know they got stuff in the cloak room so they hit the toilets on the way out.  Ha!  I&#8217;ve finally understood something about girls.  I feel so smart today.</p>
<p>We wait outside the exit and have a smoke.  The girls come find us and we jump in a cab to mine.  Unfortunately my girl has to work today.  So they have to take a train back to Oxford right away.  We don&#8217;t even go inside my apartment.  My girl tells me that if she comes in she&#8217;ll never leave.  It was sweet.  We kissed a lot in the taxi and on the walk to the station.  She pointed out that I always make a noise after we kiss.  Like mmmm.  Delicious noise you know?  So then I am like ok let me try again.  So we kiss really long and then I make no noise.  She is like you want to don&#8217;t you!  And I was like No!&#8230;&#8230;.ok Yes!  We are giggling and snuggling.</p>
<p>Then they are off on the train home.  I only got my girl&#8217;s number on the way to the station.  I decided when I met them to stick to my plan of not getting numbers.  I know Yum&#8217;s girl really likes him so hopefully things will go smooth.  They were really cool, pretty girls that like to do what I like to do.  And I am into that.</p>
