I don't want this to be a bragging contest or anything, but I'm just curious. Where have you guys played that's huge?
I think opening for Infected Mushroom this Friday is probably the biggest gig I've had.
I'm nervous as shit!

I think it was probably Digweed opening for me at Amnesia in Ibiza in 1998.

Spinning with ECB at Five this Saturday will truly be amazing, but I have to say that sharing the same bill with Paul Johnson, Eric Davenport and DJ Funk @ the Edge was AWESOME!
Playing along side Apple at Lemur Lounge was tight too!

I think it had to be the Lovefest 2003 down on the coast here in Texas. I was sooo nervious.. but people were comming around to hear me spin... Probably because I was the only chick DJ.. but so what.. I enjoyed myself. :)
If I'm lucky enough to get any gigs in Miami while I'm there for the WMC next year, that'll be deff bigger.

I've got a couple that each have their own significance to me.
1. My first time playing at buzz and it was opposite Dave Seamen + Seb Fontaine. I played the patio but I didn't give a shit, I was still playing.
2. Closing the Main Room of buzz after Dave Ralph.
3. Playing in NYC for the first time, even though it was a hole in the wall venue on a weeknight!

Openning for Ed Rush and Op at the Bling Bling party. . . I had never played a 3.5 hour set before that night in my life. Spinning in the main room was definitely a dream come true, and I had my fam and peeps from all over come out to support. And to top it all off, my girlfriend came in the booth right after my set and said "I love you" for the first time! :breaksP:

Yeah, my first NYC gig was at this bar in Soho (I think) called Niva. It was about the size of my bedroom, but we had like 100 people crammed up in there, and the ultra-hottie bartender was totally digging on my tunes. Hehe. Unfortunately I only got to kiss her once, then she moved back to Japan...
