first and foremost this one is for you Encryption! :RockOn: we were walking out of the Steve Porter party @ State on Friday night and look who was chilling out front. we jumped at the chance for a photo opportunity with the man, the myth, the legend: John Digweed

things got started for me Wednesday afternoon at the Movim party. it rained pretty bad a couple times and everyone had to run inside, but Florida showers only last an hour at the most. anyway the music was bumpin in no time. managed to see patrick turner, jay tripwire, sen sei, tony thomas, asad rizvi, and a couple other people i dont know. met up with rubyraks and some weird looking canadian guy named Jenks who's chin resembles my ass.

[b]saturday day rolled around and i was so damn tired i couldnt get out of bed for either of the pool parties i had planned going to. I SUCK!! plus we had to save our energy for the AA Arena and Space afterparty. yeah right! so we get to the Arena around 10pm. parking and will call pickup was easy. but then comes the waiting game. they didnt open the doors til midnight thus ripping us off for 2 paid hours. lame! as soon as we got inside we dropped $18 on one grey goose drink and proceeded into the arena where the choons were coming from. hernan cattaneo and james zabiela were doing a pretty deep warmup set and setting a nice tone for what was to come.....Errr....stopppp.......james lavelle comes on next and completely killed the vibe. i mean KILLED DEAD. this is the worst piece of shit set ive ever seen by any dj. no mixing involved and enough acting to play 3 parts on any daytime soap opera. james lavelle is the biggest poser on the planet. i wish i had a picture of his pose so you could join me in laughing for the rest of time. i almost want to give credit to my friends josh & jeremy for starting the Boo'ing. never heard that many people Boo'ing at one time before. it was rather funny. and good ole lavelle ate it right up. i think he sets out to piss people off. god bless Unkle and anything they do, but hearing lavelle on his own is slightly worse than having AIDS. we left the arena around 4am to get to Space in time for will call entry but my friend jeremy landed himself a fractured foot from some bouncing glowstick guido inside the Arena. we made the decision to go back to the room and see if his foot felt better around 9am or so when we'd make an attempt to go back to Space, but his foot was surely fucked. thx guido. you'll get yours! :twisted:[/b]
[b]all day sunday we drank 2 cases of Becks, finished off about a 5th of vodka and other assorted elements. played music in the room off and on all day and ended with a nice dinner overlooking the atlantic. the next day i slept til 6pm or so then we went to Carrabba's for a gratifying and replenishing meal. god knows i needed it.[/b]
[b]that sums up our trip. i have some more pics to post but have to wait to get them in the mail first. will update this thread as i get them.[/b]
