-=- Dance 2 Da Beat Weekend -=-
Before I went to bed, I got a call from Daniel ("Fairy Godfather" on TA.) Daniel's always been a mad supporter of D2DB, always offering something... this D2DB no different, as he donated 18 baskets from the body shop. Wow. Floored by the generosity. Daniel, mad appreciate it... loved the pink shirt, u matched the decor.
Wake up in the morning, Mils and I smash down a sick breakfast of waffles with maple syrup (pure french canadian maple syrup) with fresh fruit we picked up in china town.
Writer's Note; They have this SICKASS apple/pepper thing in china town that is one of the best damn fruits I ever had in my life... my GOD, delicious!
Jason Hooper (Trance Addict's OWN urban legend, or something like that...) was gracious enough to drive us to go pick up the CDs. My CD guy is absolutely wicked, made 500 + cd's in two days... kudos to SHELDON for designing CD covers, labels and sleeve. He is the ABSOLUTE man. So, after driving to pick up the CDs and having a fairly interesting conversation on where it would be possible to buy plastic boats that kids use in the bathtub, we grabbed some gr33k food (ha-ha miss k, I got hoops to eat something that wasn't potatoes, roast and gravy) and headed back home.
Mils got the CDS prepared, put them in order as I finished up checking out some last minute choons I considered playing. Being a MOMENTS DJ, I believe all sets should have MOMENTS.... I wanted to hit mine EARLY... so I asked Fab Strong for an acapella that pretty much I'm sure only Fab Strong has, wanted to used it because it had "can you dance to my beat" on it...
thanks Fab!
Got my CD book ready called a cab and headed over to Footwork at like 7. I called Jon Jon to let him know the snow cone machine guy will be there 15 minutes before I and Jon Jon ya - ya ed me and boogied out.
One of my best buddies shawn (who worked door all night with NO pee break... TROOPER) drove and picked up a HELIUM tank, Justin Chung, who was going to play the electric violin to my "paddy's revenge" (irish jig) song I played met me at my house, so as we all rolled into footwork.... we meet up with the snowcone machine dude, who gives us a "tutorial" on how to snowcone... and then do a soundcheck for the violin.
The YM ladies rolled in full affect and began streaming up streamers and balloons... thank you in no particular order (mils,liz,barb,elayna,hutch,carrie,mils) for all your decorating skills. Also to Sean for driving down from buffalo and helping out in the decor. Katie, Hooper, Adam and Rachel rolled in... helped finalize the set up... Kudos to Miss Rachel for taking the bull by the horns and getting pink lays, selling them for 2 bucks each.... sold them all out, a HUGE hit at the bash!
9pm hits... it's START TIME... |

Just joined TA today!!! Dunno why I wasn't on this before.
WOW...another great D2DB :happy2:
I am beyond proud of you Ace. I am so happy I get to be apart of something that is so special and means the world to you. Your passion and drive is inspiring. Thank you for everything that you do.
The whole night was great. Sean, Elayna and I arrived a little later than anticipated...The weather was not working in our favor. Got to Footy around 8 I believe and helped decorate. It was fun seeing people throughout the night dancing with ballons in their hands.
Milena and I had a little mishap with the sno-cone machine which involved grape syrup exploding all over...mainly on me.
Nathan - "you got grape on yo face" ... obviously lol
The music was great...all of it. Roaches vs YM...WOW...my favs! "Carlo in Lioooo" was in my head all morning...so funny.
Thanks to everybody that was apart of D2DB... :happy2:
Ace & Milena did such a wicked job with this. Love you both. Can't wait for the next one. |

Had a blast at this event. I so wish I could have stayed longer for this and stayed for your set Dave, but it wasnt in the cards for me.
BIG PROPS TO DAVID ACE.
The man amazes me, such a big heart and can he throw down a tune, so everyone knew this night was going to be epic. But the organization, promotion and just yern to help this cause makes Dave a man among men.
Lee Osbourne and Val smashed it in my opinion, Paco was alright but I think its what made me so tired. I really wish YM and Roaches were mid night but you do always leave the best for last.
Good seeing so many familiar faces and so many smiles, everyone was just in a great mood, not even 15 hours of down rain could kill the atmosphere.
Can't wait for the next one.
BTW Greek Food FTW!!!! Anything, anytime for team Milenace! |

So I'm not too good with words and a bit shy but I'll say this...
For weeks before the event I had a flyer stuck to my body promoting it, as Miss K had said in one of her posts, something I started doing since the first d2db I was involved in. I had tons of ppl coming up to me asking what it was, and when I explained to them what d2db meant they were in awe and were absolutely amazed at what we were doing.
So what can I saw about d2db5....AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Amazing turnout, amazing people all to support an amazing cause. I was running around the whole night making sure things were going well, and I must admit I was exhuasted..but the vibe kept me going and not to forget the AMAZING music all night long, all the djs did a fantasic job!!
Overall it was a successful night, thanks to all that came out, thanks to all who came to support and thanks to all for showing ppl how much this scene can come together to do some good, you all rock!!
This event has become a part of me..thank you babe for coming into my life. I am priviledge and honoured to share this event/charity with you, like I said before team milenace is gonna take this event to another level. Love you
ps: you didn't see me but I was reading your post on the dexter episode and I started crying again..your words move me beyond belief.
Thanks again to everyone for all the support..we'll see you all at D2DB6..can't wait
