Like I said before, loved the island, great vibes all around I thought. I think everyone is getting so picky with expecting everything to be perfect at their optimum taste. Sound, people, weather. I had some run ins with some unsavoury people, wished it was a bit louder at times etc. I can only imagine the logistical nightmare of moving a club essentially to an island on a holiday, and presumably lots of red tape, and I think everyone involved deserves a much deserved pat on the back for what they did. This was my 3rd island, 1st this year. Each time I feel they're doing better and better overall.
Tales of Us were my favourite so far from last year, but like mentioned above, overall vibe and organization was astounding how well done it was and seems to be improving party to party.
I think Tennis could have easily been the headliner, he was on point, especially at the afterparty. First time for Henrik, was very enjoyable, I think MarBros are overrated, but they still threw it down, Dixon was good, but I had the bar set much higher from my Detroit experience from him at the festival and Old Miami only a month or so ago.
I don't think sound is the promoter's fault, I highly doubt with the calibre of bookings and parties they do, that they would voluntarily hold back on that if they didn't have to for some reason.
One other thing, were there like 3 different groups of security? I saw the grey shirts managing the doors and bathrooms, then a few red shirts who seemed to rule over them all, then a few blue shirts who were in a small trio seemingly randomly asking people to empty their pockets?
Finally, shot out to Alex for his continued hard work and hospitality this weekend.
AND lastly, was I wrong in assuming Maceo was supposed to be Civic? Or did I get the wrong information from many people about the same thing? *fingers-crossed* for Labour Day!
