Wow, that bites the big one! I'm not surprised though, I mean what was the last party you went to, anywhere, that didn't seem to be way over capacity?

Hope you fare better with the rest of the weekend!

Sometimes when you go through massive "party drama" at the start of your night it fully amplifies the experience once the shit finally gets going.

I concur.

Bobby and I woke up at 3:45am as scheduled from nap number 1 to head in. We were a little surprised as Jay had alerted us to the shut down of Penn and we tried to figure out what was happening...

When we heard they moved it to Rebel we figured it was worth a shot... best case scenario we got 2 hours of Marco. Worst case we got nothing but only lost 2 hours of sleep. We crossed our fingers and hoped for the best and made our way in.

It was totally worth it.. we missed the drama. We just had to show a print out as proof we had purchased tickets.

Marco was great as always... I enjoyed him a bit more than Paco but Paco's last 10 minutes were completely bonkers.

Only complaint the venue did not do much to curb smoking so I just woke up from nap number 2 smelling like a dirty ass tray.

Well, the part of Brooklyn we were in was no where near Coney Island. This place was along the water, smelled of dead fish. Would've sent a nuke its way if given the chance back then....

So I don't really know where to start as there has been so much drama with this event and yet it has been a blast. The Music is amazing which is the only thing keeping this thing together. I will give the promoters some credit...while there are some completly stupid situations they have created they are trying to pull this thing off.

I got home after the Rebel party, showered and rested for a bit before heading out. Walked around Soho shopping and people watching when I decided to head to Coney Island earlier than I had expected (I could see I was going to end up spending too much money). Got to Coney Island around 1:30 and decided to try a Nathan's hot dog and fries. Walked to the event to see a big line that wasn't moving with a hand written sign saying "delayed due to rain". Two girls working the Will Call, changing the process about 10 times before I got in left a lot to be desired. The music didn't go on until just after 2PM (it was suppose to be 10AM). When I finally got to the Will Call they didn't have the RFID wristbands and they informed us we would have to do the will call tomorrow as well. When I asked why they told be "the rain had ruined all of the computers which were going to control the will call and wrist bands.

Walked in and only one stage had sound but Carnea was great. Really had the crowd moving and almost forgetting the ordeal getting in. The crowd was shambles...it reminded me of the start of DC10 with everyone just a mess (pics and video's to follow). Afternoon Coffee Boys had a great set as well. I talked to a volunteer who said none of the organizers were there in the morning to tell them how to set up(shouldn't this have been set up Friday?). Talked to a DJ who told me the sound crew realized how screwed up the event was they weren't turning on the sound on the second stage until they were paid in full.

It was around this time I noticed EVERYONE had brought in their own booze. I went and told them I needed an ATM and walked to a store and bought beer, redbull and water and walked right back in (they were not searching ANYONE at this time). It worked out well since I only ended up buying one more drink the whole day.

Slowly the venue started filling up and they turned on the sound at the second stage around 6:30 (guess they had sold enough booze by then). By now I was completly confused with who was playing and where but the music was very good. Finally realized it was in fact Audiofly playing and then MANDY and Tiefschwarz came on and killed it. At 10PM the music stopped...it was over (not at midnight as advertised). Everyone was just kind of standing around looking at each other in disbielf. Finally Heidi picked up the microphone and told us of a few parties (including the new location for the night venue which Magna would be playing at instead).

Damn I'm writing a Graham review here....

The night venue was now in Brooklyn instead...headed to Pat's hotel and we were going to head right over. Damn Brooklyn is scary. The hotel called us a "black cab" and for $25 would send a minivan to take the 8 of us to Studio B (5 miles away from their hotel). One fucking hour later since the sketch cabby got lost and drove us around in circles. I kept trying to give him directions from my Blackberry only to have him drive away as I was tying in the address we were at...which caused us to miss the directions I was getting. After about 45minutes of this I finally asked him to stop and wait until I told him where to go and we got there a few minutes later. A little more drama to get in Studio B but most of us got in right away to catch Magna starting at 2AM.

I'm sorry Cribby but her set was the worst of the weekend so far. At 2AM I don't want chill music especially after the cab ride and line up. She played for 2 hours and everyone pretty much left then. I stayed for Marc Houle and Pan Pot (at least I think that was who was playing). They brought the music up a notch or 10 and the next 2 hours again was so much fun. They closed the party down at 6AM (thank god since I haven't slept in about 32 hours and was on my feet at Coney Island and Studio B for 16 hours.

Walked out and met a couple nice New Yorkers who helped me find my way to the subway since I had no clue where I was in Brooklyn. We all agreed that the event so far was a complete mess in terms of organizing but the music was amazing and was holding everything together. Surprising as this may sound we also gave the promoters credit as it is obvious they are in way over their heads but they are trying to make this work.

One piece of advice for the promoters...

DO NOT FUCK UP TODAY WITH SHUTTING RICHIE OR FRANCOIS K DOWN EARLY. START THEN BOTH EARLIER AND LET THEM PLAY UNTIL THE COPS BARG IN AND SHUT YOU DOWN.

Still having a blast in NYC.
