Tara- I ran into Erica early on at Space (don't ask me what morning it was- it's all a blur now).
Went to Ultrafest yesterday- another logistical nightmare this year getting in. No bags at all were allowed in, and the people at the gate only checked in about 30 bags. Everyone else had to hang their bags up on the fence and pray they were there when they returned. I knew camcorders were not allowed, but I risked taking mine anyways, and at the gate, they tell us cameras weren't allowed either. U can imagine the panic & frustration... These rules were imposed by Miami police, who wanted to cancel the event to begin with. Luckily, I decided to check the media entrance to see if comped ticket was waiting for me, and there was! So, after an hour of figuring out what to do, I was finally inside, bags, cameras, and all. Apparently, the press pass wasn't included, but by some luck, I knew the guy working the desk there, and he gave me the pass anyways. I had backstage access, and was able to go on stage to take photos. There was open bar and dinner served to us as well. (John this is for you-) Ran into Max Graham backstage, and we chatted it up. Bitched him out for not making it to the happy hour he had planned with his msg board members the day b4 (he partied too hard w/Deep Dish the nite b4). Got to hear Christopher Lawrence (from outside during the panic to get in), and saw Junky XL, The Streets, Underworld, Pete Tong, Mauro, Tiesto, Dave Seaman, Hernan Cattaneo, Liquid Todd, Sasha & Digweed, Rabbit in the Moon, Josh Wink, DJ Dan, Kevens, Ed Rush & Optical, K-Swing, and Roland.
My good luck ran out around midnite. Ankles crapped out from the vigorous workout they were getting. Made it to the tent where I was to meet my friends after the event, had someone get me the paramedics, and they had to drive me out of there on a mini-firetruck. The porter at my hotel wheeled me up to my room on a LUGGAGE cart of all things!!! I have pics to prove it all too. Been in bed all day, finally got the hotel to loan me a wheel chair, and j_spot has been pushing me around all nite. What a guy...
Gonna attempt to hit a closing party that's wheelchair accessible. 
Back late tomorrow nite. |
