(complete the sentence of course)

I am walking up to the Shelborne and guess whose standing at the vallet booth?

Hernan...so I tap him on the shoulder and wish him the best before a night of mullerred debauchery...

Let's just say last night was probably the most special night of my life as far as EDM goes because I accidently met the producers of Nick Warren, Tiesto, Hernan in the lobby of the Shelborne partied with Noel Sanger and Hernan and just woke up :SuckeyTo:

Noel is a cool cat, sounds like you have it the ground running, heard S&D were a hit, Timo is playing Space at the moment, Is Warren and Seaman tonight at Space and is the pool party up an running at Shelbourne? Details are needed.

right on man! and things will get better too! it's such an alternate reality when you're walking by the very people you idolize. so surreal.

but

why didn't you press him up against the wall and demand a new mix?

hell, why not just ask him to do a monthly set on MS while he waits to get back on a new radio show?

Haha that's awesome! That was my favourite part of WMC...meeting all these amazing people who make the music we love happen and actually getting to talk to them and hang out and party.

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

During Seaman & Warren's set tonight I talked to hernan again briefly, got a cool picture with him, didnt ask for a new mix just talked about the last few I had been to and how much I enjoyed them. very very nice guy indeed. He was just hanging out and dancing while seaman was spinning. Dave's set tonight was the highlight, really brought some seriously banging beats, very entertaining. johnathen peters was good poolside today...it got cloudy rained for probably 2 minutes then the rain and clouds went away and sun came out, which was excellent timing btw Sun. There are something like 450,000 spring breakers here as well, so it has been quiet the cluster-f but loving every minute. Josh Cowen's set was a good warmup to warren and dave as well. SUPER stoked about tomorrow's bently hotel rooftop party w. LFair, PMojo, DMasiello and others:shock: decided to rest up a bit for it...more to come from SoBe. :Twilo:

How long does WMC go for? With travel prices from Aus they way they are, a casual sojourn from Uni to Miami for a few days could be in order...

THAT is what I love, seeing these big time djs on the floor dancing and paying respect to the talent on the decks, and enjoying themselves. not just sitting in VIP away from everyone :D

$16 mimosa's , $10 heinekens :drink:

Luckily the Shelborne gave me 10 free drink cards yesterday after re-booking us at the Palm Hotel because the people who were staying there wouldn't leave thus leaving no rooms for those checking in. Won't stay there again and will tell anyone coming to SoBe to save themselves time and effort and just avoid the Shelborne...but we also saved money a couple hundred dollars, still get to go to all the parties for free, and are staying in a far superior hotel--cleaner, newer, nicer, quieter...:roflmao: roll'n w. it and looking fwd to room service this morning - cheers :!:

(no camera cord, can't upload until i'm home btw)

Figured Shelbourne would be a war zone, probably saner for it, the roof top party =:pass::pass::pass: thanks for keeping us posted.

#1190507Post 19 of 48

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

^The rooftop party is at a nice hotel, won't be anything like the Shelborne, which is situated in the heart of the WMC.

this is the Luke Fair was meant to play at, but due to a scheduling conflict he isnt getting to Miami until tomorrow for the Discoteca party

should still be a great event though! Desyn added in place of Luke isnt exactly a bad thing, lol

#1190585Post 24 of 48

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

Ah...I was wondering why Luke wasn't on the flyer. That explains it. You're always in the know Steve.:D You must be at the party now. Jealous!!!!

You never see him with an entourage, and he answers everyone who speaks to him with respect. I think he is really conscious of his fans ! :D

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

What A rooftop party it was!

Getting dressed for Sarsha now...

Highlights of Bentley Rooftop were meeting and hanging with (literally) Chris Fortier, Desyn and Omid...

Fortier is not only a very cool guy, his set was top notch (expected)

Desyn...hung out, have pics, talked about my experience in Tijuana handing him a whole bottle of Absolute Vodka, he remembered the venue but said "Bloody hell that was like 4 years ago, i don't remember one track from that night!" Super nice and wow was his set awesome...I kid you guys not, his set had the same vibe as the one I heard in Mexico which (btw was scary to be at the "Tangaloo in Tijuana") you never stop moving or dancing to a Desyn solo set, never.........

Met a lot of dj's from NYC and Miami and have cd's and promised to email them the website address as well as the documentary (that I saw here) which they were all enthusiastic about of course...

Having an absolute ball, lots and lots of pics to come, in the spirit of Hypoluxxa's recent generous post from the Mayan! :evil:

:Twilo: :Twilo: :Twilo:

p.s. just drinking btw...and a tiny bowl of mary yesterday lol

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

ran into diggers at the howells show on wednesday, which coincidentally was fucking AMAZING. talked to him about getting on the boat party, bedrock 11, and of all things....steve james. as i was finishing chatting with him i joked that he absolutely had to record his set on saturday, to which he laughed. then we got on the topic of steve and john was genuinely interested in what happened to him. thought everyone here would like to know that...

ohh, and lawler on the terrace at space was SICK, along with luciano. timo maas then came on around 8am and played the most evil shit i've ever heard. truly twisted. sooooo good :D

SOS tuesday was a great opener set too. very funky...

#1190751Post 34 of 48

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

^^^ thank you for sharing that with us Jeff, Steve would be floored to know that Diggers cared....missing you jibby! xox

Jeff....I am so happy your WMC experience is living up to what you thought it would be....can't wait to hear all about it. Have an amazing night and give me a shout once you are back and all rested/recovered! xo

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...

Re: So I'm @ WMC '09 and...
