We hit up downtown Toronto to celebrate my friend's birthday at Muzik nightclub. It was literally one of the best parties I have been to. The next day, while dealing with a massive hangover, we attended the grand-opening of &Co. in Mississauga which is a brand new restro-bar geared towards an upscale crowd.

I will always remember my 30th birthday as one of the most epic parties, a milestone in my life which has me considering what I would like to do for the next 10 years. Travel more? Work more? Settle down? At the moment I still love living life large and exploring it to its fullest potential.

The Rogers Centre finally gave in an approved a party to take place in the biggest stadium of Canada. DeadMau5 was the first on to organize it and turned out to be a definite success. The lightshow was remarkable and audio quality was good as well, I just wish they turned it up a notch. We were lucky to obtain tickets since they were sold out pretty fast. It must have totally sucked to not to be able to enter the dance floor and being limited to the seating area.

I was too late this year to assemble a new costume so I decided to stick with some existing ones I have lying around. This wear I went dressed as Snow from Final Fantasy XIII, Kyosuke from Rival Schools (see Climax Halloween) and a plain Cop visiting Maison, Time and Guvernment. Unfortunately, the heavy predrinking resulted in less succesful pictures compared to the previous years.

  • Vote for best Costume/Act

Special thanks goes out to Yuxing for some of the fantastic pictures and Sofya (www.puchkova.com) for creating the awesome video)
