It was hot! It was very, very hot! Hot men... yes... but the temperature in the RHI was outrageous! There were obviously a hundred things going on all over the place - but you know what it's like! You risk losing everyone if you venture too far from home base, so we stuck to a couple of places...
Paul Okenfold played a hard trancy set at 1am in the Horden which didn't really seem to be in keeping with his usual tribal New Yorky style sets that we were expecting, with the Freemasons coming on at 3am to ease things up a bit (probably could have done with these two being the other way around) and who were fabulous, bringing back memories of Mardi Gras 2007.
Stumbled away before the sun came up, skipping Tina Arena who we think was the closing act, in preparation for a bit of Toybox later on! You can't do everything, unfortunately.
loved it!
