Wtf, was aystar taking notes the whole week? This has to be some sort of set up.
Tuesday- agreed, Markus was insane, so good. I also really liked Glenn Morrison who opened for him. When you are already drunk and aystar has a bottle in his hand forcing you to drink, run. Best day plans to set off a week of booze- liquor shopping with Andrew, Ravi, Barak, and Matt on Barak's lap smashed together in the back of the car to go all the way to North Beach for cheap liquor, priceless, pic on fb. After Markus I went with some non TAs to Le Foile d'Amour for Paco Osuna and Marco Carola. Paco was done when we got there but Marco was great. The place was too packed, over sold but the crowd was nice. I couldn't stay long because I wanted to nap before Hush Hush that I missed because the alarm did not go off.
edit- how can I forget dancing in Pizza Rustica? When we left Markus and stopped for a slice, really good house came on. We started dancing in the place, lol.
Wednesday- Got to Dip In when Gareth Emery was on, really good. Everyone was wondering about the surprise close, Sander van Doorn. My friend went crazy, we were up front, not moving from our spot the whole time, kept dancing. Then hit Wet Willie's for a Call A Cab. I usually get the small but the waiter goes the large is only two more, done. We walked it over to Nikki Beach for Flying Circus with Steve Lawler, Audiofly, Timo Maas, Tiefschwarz, Heidi, Davide Squillace, Luca Bacchetti, Nick Curly, Matthias Tanzmann, Hosh, Solomun, Alex Niggeman, Miss Jools, Sean Miller, Geddes. Wow it was good, stayed until close. The problem, my Call A Cab had me nice and tipsy. Andrew texts me that Danny Tenaglia at Parkwest is sick and we have to go. Turned the cab around blocks from the unit to go downtown. I used to like him years ago but his style changed. That night, he was so good. He made a new mix with Lady by Modjo that was really nice but it would have been better if it was mixed in more. Then he killed me when he put on Lady Gaga. On my fb- I fell in love with Danny Tenaglia when he played Lady by Modjo then he broke my heart when he played Lady Gaga. The crowd was guido but did not mind, everyone was so nice. We danced with a priest and it was so funny.
Thursday- took it light during the day because we had a lot of plans. I went on the best boat party ever and I have done a lot. Listed had Twilight on the Tiki with SOS(Demi, Desyn, Omid), six hour set, six hours of open bar. The crowd was a lot of San Francisco and Burners who have a Burning Man camp. They are such an amazing group. It was only one hundred fifty on the boat, small crowd so everyone spends time together. If you do a boat party, it has to be on Tiki. The set was amazing, we could not stop dancing. They recorded it and should be up soon. Best moment on the Tiki- when they played Depeche Mode enjoy the silence. From my fb- SOS playing Depeche Mode enjoy the silence on the tiki this is my code, enjoy the silence do not think too much it is beautiful. Talked to Desyn about it, we hugged, it was so cute. Made such great friends on the Tiki and heard a great set, what more can you want.
Went to Nocturnal for Clandestine Arts Showcase with Guy Gerber (live), Paul Ritch (live), dOP(live), Sascha Funke, Kiki, Seth Troxler, Sean Reeves, Lee Curtiss, Heidi, Matt Tolfrey, DJ T., Thomas Schumacher, Alexi Delano, Camea, Ali Schwarz (Tiefschwarz), Italoboyz. Music was good, system was horrible, crowd made me want to leave. We could not take it there. Left for Resolute at Grass with Mathias Kaden (Live), Elon, Connie, Radio Slave, Francois K, Roberto Bosco. Radio Slave was great, got some of Elon. I know I can see some of them in NY but it was nice to catch up with friends late.
Friday- a few friends were supposed to play at the Sullivan Room Rooftop at Bentley Hotel but bad rain had them stop for hours. We were supposed to go on Guy Gerber's yacht party but the rain was bad and the winds were not ideal for being on a boat at that time. We went back later to Bentley and it was just over. It was not my day so missed Lee Burridge and Danny Howells, missed One Night Only, missed Get Lost : (
Saturday- still having an issue, stayed in until amazing friends talked me out of being sad. Went to Basic All Stars at Beach Plaza for Tom Middleton, DJ T, Mark Farina, Thomas Schumacher, and Jody Wisternoff. I love DJ T, he had such good energy about himself, they were all really good. Funny when Chris Luzz and I were walking away to get a drink and Deep Inside came on so we ran back. Boo was dancing to it with an umbrella and it was not raining, funny. We could not stop moving, think I got my drink after an hour. Luzz asked where I was going that night, when I said John Digweed, he was was on it. A lot of people were supposed to go for Digweed that I know but they never made it over from Get Physical, big mistake. His set at Vagabond was his best I heard. I have heard John since his first NY set in the 90's. He is my favorite dj for a reason. Chris and his friend left a few hours before close. I stayed non stop dancing until close by myself. Met so many great people. I even met someone from Sao Paulo that is close with my friend who moved there such a small world. At the end of his set, John told everyone- make sure you tell everyone you had a horrible time, bad music lol. It was really special and it was obvious he knew he had one of his best sets. Some friends laugh that the Danny Howells Donna Summer remix of I Feel Love is one of my favorites but, ha, it is John's too, part of his close was with it. Took a pic with him and talked for a few, ready for him in NY.
Walked over to Sunday School to meet with friends, so tired from dancing for so long. Rested on a couch and heard DJ T open outside. I really like him, it is too bad he was on so early. I went home and slept for a while.
Sunday- came back to Sunday School in the afternoon. It was great to hear everyone's stories from the week and it was such a good ending. So funny when Kelly text Andrew asking if he saw English Rachel. We were all sitting together and Rachel introduced herself. Andrew was talking to her and I tell him who she is. Guess you had to see it but so funny and she is so nice. We walked over to the after party for a few but friends wanted to see Camea and Alexi Delano at Space. I can not stand Space and some friends did not go because of their manipulation. We waited outside for a while when they tell everyone guys in shorts can not come it. It was after Sunday School that was bad. So we left walked back to the other party but did not want to stay. So we go back to my place for a swim and jacuzzi. The area was closed so stealth we went with towels hidden, a lot of drinks, and hopped the fence. That was probably the best ending to the week. We went to eat after, stayed up all night having a nice time.
Monday- sorry to everyone that was supposed to come to the party at my place and pool. We fell asleep at nine in the morning, set the alarm for ten but did not get up until four. I had to get ready to fly back so it was hard to get everyone over.
I want to thank everyone for such a great week. I had some hard times but everyone really helped me. It was so nice seeing everyone out and to the ones who came to my place, wow. My door is always open to all of you in Miami. The drinks are cold, the jacuzzi is hot, and even though the pool is locked we still know how to get in lol.
