I dunno, I like trance, and progressive. I guess I just love the music, but whatever. Can't no one say that Wish was not the SUPER SHIZ-NIZEL, I mean the party was 5 mintues from my house. What else could I ask for?? Yea security took my inhailer at the door, but I got over it. Props to the good people at Skills for, yet again, throwing a bomb-ass party!!! ~ Jorge
