This was an enjoyable moment for me as I felt that I was actually on vacation. We grabbed some umbrellas and set up shop, only to enjoy it for just a minute.

[IMG]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=89&pictureid=819[/IMG] Me & Hafid. Meeting Hafid was definitely a highlight of my trip. He is a very genuine person. His first interaction with me was to give me a bottle of water. Very openhanded and there for his crew. There was something legendary about this guy, which felt like it transcended both time and place. I really appreciate all the level headed conversations we had and look forward to meeting him again. Your smile is ace!
[IMG]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=89&pictureid=820[/IMG] Eddie. Enough said!!! LOL, I love this photo. It speaks a million words. Looks like trouble is brewing behind you. Looking forward to listening to a live MC'ed set. Hook me up!
[IMG]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=89&pictureid=821[/IMG] Steve James. You just destroyed it man. You are actually one of the first people that I started chatting with on MS years ago when I joined. I cant expalin how pumped I was to meet you and party down to your beats. As discussed, your sets deserve to be heard by the masses. I cant imagine hearing what I heard Saturday being played on a phazon system to the stomp of 20,000 people. You deserve it bro!

This woman can dance and shred a floor. I am very passionate about dancing and to be able to step with someone eye to eye is an incredible feeling. At one point, I had a hard time keeping up. Moments like those made it extermly difficult to leave.

My sincere thanks goes out to Kamal and TomTom for keeping this site alive and running for over 6 years. This trip was long talked about for many years and was way overdue. Im glad we made it happen in 2008.
It was great to meet Kamal's DC crew. Krish, Tim and Alvero- your presence really peaked the vibe. Lots of great jokes and good moments.
Emilie and Mindy (trouble)- thanks for you hospitality and warm welcome. Glad your on the board.
Clint & Jamey- Thanks for driving over from NOLA. If you guys are still in the big easy come Mardi Gras, be prepared to party with Pickle and I.
Stefan- Thanks for flying down solo from Indy. Its a big feat to head someplace alone where you dont know anybody.
& a BIG FUCKING THANK YOU goes out to the FSM! Your crew is one of the best that I have come across in a long time. Glad to see you guys are so tight as well as welcoming to the noobs. Please be sure to extend my appreciation to Kevin. Without him, this party would not have been possible. I hope to be able to meet him again, either on a fishing boat or a baseball game. And somebody please, get me some recordings of his studio work.
BTW...who the fuck is SciFi Pi?

[quote=Bender420;637548]clint and i were talking on the way there friday nite. he was expressing about how cool it was to actually meet people from a message board. i told him how i'd met others from ms during some of my travels and always hit it off well with them. and truth be told, with no other genre of music would people who'd never met each other besides typing on a computer actually get together to listen to good music, PARTY, and pretty much live with each other for even a night, much less 3 or 4! like i said, i'd had good luck hanging out with other ms'ers and even had offers of a couch to sleep on, but even my expectations were completely blown out of the water! the others involved this weekend have gone into detail about what it was like. i'm not really that good expressing myself, but i feel very fortunate to have this music in my life, as well as MS! this weekend was a none to subtle reminder of that. i really don't know what else to say about this music and mercury server, it's just a feeling!!![/quote] AGREED %100
[LEFT]Hope all is well,[/LEFT] [LEFT]Let’s get right down to it….I want to personally thank everyone from the MS crew that made an appearance for an awe-inspiring weekend not to be forgotten by any of us any time soon.[/LEFT] [LEFT]Kamal, it was an amazingly unique pleasure to have met you. I never really got the chance to properly express how much it meant, on behalf of us all, to have you here and how much we appreciate everything the MS family does for us in the audible, emotional, and spiritual sense. Your site gives us all what we need at the exact moment we need it. Thank you and the MS family for enriching our souls.
[/LEFT] [LEFT]Tim, Ryan, Krish, Alvaro, Ryan, Tom, Clint, and Jamey:[/LEFT] [LEFT]It was not only a pleasure for me, but the rest of my local listeners to meet you guys and witness your individual talents first-hand. As the saying goes, there aren’t enough hours in a day….that is even more evident now that you have all left. Between my demanding work schedule, my baby sis giving birth to my nephew, and my mom’s birthday, I don’t even know how I managed to participate in this past weekend’s venue! All I can say is that it was worth every friendship made to later maintain, and then some! LoL!
[/LEFT] [LEFT]Steve Graham, it was an honor and a pleasure beyond my vocabulary to meet you M8. Listening to those you hold in high regard can sometimes be disappointing, but not this time. You played some tracks that would derail a train and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next time!
[/LEFT] [LEFT]Steve James….if you get down with your partner the way you did this weekend past, pharmaceutical companies need to bottle you up and out-sell Viagra! Anyone who can lay down musical law the way you did for 12 hours earns mad respect and love, no matter where they came from! Mad props for bringing the MS crew down for a weekend burned into our memories as one of the best we’ll ever encounter. I’m left speechless and that says a lot. You have earned our respect.
[/LEFT] [LEFT]Jarbel and PickleMonkey, I must say I had a FUCKING BLAST hangin’ with you guys! You 2 Fucking rock, dude! I had some really good talks with you both and have learned a lot I will take with me as I continue my course. I’ll tell you guys this, we need to execute a venue on your turf and meet the crew that holds you in such high regard. I wouldn’t miss it if my funeral was that day, just let me know when and where and I’ll handle the rest on this end!
[/LEFT] [LEFT]Thanks again to FSM & MS for all the hard work (and play!), and time that all of you put in to enriching our lives. Without it, experiences and memories like the one we have from this weekend would never occur. Collective beats create the music, music sets the tone; so long as you lay it down like that, we’ll never dance alone! Keep playing hard, making friends as you go, and let your heart bleed out the vibe that infects us all in a positive way![/LEFT] [LEFT]Cheers,[/LEFT] [LEFT]Hafid[/LEFT]

Hafid, you are one HECK of a DJ and you know I don't need to remind you how many times I've lost my marbles to your mixes (I think I've bugged you enough on MSN :lol: )
But one of my real regrets was not being able to hang out with you more than we did in the little time that we did. Everyone has nothing but praises for your hospitality and I would sure love to experience it one more time.
Better make yourself available for 2009 meetup.
