It was a short cab ride from where we were staying in Manhattan, and surprisingly the line was non existent for the people that bought pre-sale tickets. We decided well ahead of time that we were coming here, so the tickets not only allowed us to skip the GA line but also saved us about $20 in addition to the $40 cover. The ticket was about $23 with fees.

After a quick pat down, within minutes we were officially inside Pacha! Didn't get any shit for my sneakers, head bands, dirty t-shirt from the rave or my super casual jeans. Freaking love this place already!
We walk through the stair wells, and I ended up on a packed main floor. This is the dance floor area. It took a bit of effort to work my way around the corner to see the DJ booth, and SJ&RM haven't came on yet. So Mike and I decided to get a drink. I ordered an AMF like I always do, and guess what.. $20! Exactly what I expected. However the girl sure made it strong. Pretty much dumped 4 different bottles of booze to the top of the cup, and just added the blue for the coloring. I got my moneys worth because when I finished it I was complete SCHWASTED.
My friend Celeste calls me and she was on her way here from the Zoo, however she had no way of getting into the club. Mike and I devised an awesome plan of tearing off Mike's wristband and I will use mine to get his torn off one to Celeste so we can sneak her in. Talk about an epic mish when you are schwasted. Long story short, I got outside through some random back door and they wouldn't let me back in because I was too "wasted" accordingly to the bouncers. That AMF must had me slurring my words. So I couldn't find Celeste, but I needed to find my way back in. I came all the way from Cali to NYC to see one of my favorite DJs and I can't believe I got the boot before they even came on.

So after putting on the thinking cap, I saw a group of euros standing in the bottle service line. I went up to them hoping that they would be nice enough and let me walk in with them. Sure enough they were! So within 5 minutes I was able to get into the club, and as soon as I got in I thanked them for the assistance and found Mike again. Then minutes later I see Celeste there.. apparently she was able to get herself in somehow. Shes a girl.. duh.. they can do magical things that we can't. Anyway I came back with some perfect timing. SJ&RM come on and the first thing they announce that they are doing a set from 1:30AM to 10AM the next morning...Wow.. simply wow. I love NY, I love Pacha!

| "You guys better be ready, because we are playing until 10 AM!" Epic.. wait FML |
So I raged until 5AM almost half way to 10AM, but my first Pacha experience was well beyond memorable. I can't wait to be back at this place where girls just grind up on you randomly, and as a guy you are expected grope random girls to show them attention. What an interesting concept. They need more places like this in Cali!
