Hey all, I just thought I'd write a write a quick bit on the fantastic performance I attended at Club Vision yesterday. Located in downtown Chicago, Club Vision is one of the premier clubs in the United States. Last night, it hosted the world's top rated DJ,
Armin Van Buuren. Opening was Glenn Morrison, a young, upstart DJ out of Canada. Although his set list was outstanding, his mixing left something to be desired. Armin came out at about 12:30 AM to an explosion of applause. Indeed, Van Buuren was in top form. He has an excellent rapport with the audience- he is quite the charmer. His set list was excellent and his mixing was, of course, brilliant. The performance was hampered somewhat by the strange smoke effects- jets filled the club with smoke and then a strobe light was flipped on, turning the whole club into a disorienting mess for several minutes. A speaker also blew out at about 2:15 AM, after which we decided to head home. At any rate, the performance was suberb, and I highly recommend a live show if you ever have the chance.
Armin changes a record, the lasers light up, and the crowd goes wild.
Armin salutes the crowd with his headphones.
Hopefully I will have some better shots to post later (these were taken from my iPhone... so there's no flash or zoom).

It was a white party... I'm dancin' up a storm back there.
They sprayed the crowd with some sort of gas to keep us cool (probably Nitrogen). I am a dancing MACHINE.
This is a much better shot of Armin. The photographer has the best seat in the house... he was about 3 feet from AVB all night. Check out those pro headphones and his mixing board.
This shot gives you a much better idea of the club. The photographer clearly had a better camera. The laser show was amazing, as you can see from this nice wide angle shot.
