So we sauntered into the event around 2am and it was packed on the floor with gigantic led screens onstage and full rave laser show. Those silly green lasers like from the video for Relax have made a fierce comeback and I have to say they look really good. And it's not just the drugs...I think. Ultra Nate performed but in some kind of fucked up logic they put her on FIRST, followed by 2 mediocre acts. The second performer apparently thought that if she just screamed into the mic it meant she was soulful. But because her remake of this crap song "I Need A Miracle" is the song of summer people went crazy. I sat that one out. After what seemed like an insufferably long show Peter came on fiercely. The crowd was going absolutely bezerk. We all looked at each other like, "Oh shit this is gonna be a good night." Now I've only heard him dj before at Gary 49 a year ago so that's all I have to go on. I loved what he played then but I knew this would be different cause the venue was slightly bigger. But the second half of his set things turned and he kind of lost the crowd. I don't know if he went TOO New York on them or what but the energy just sort of dropped. But no matter everyone stayed till the very end and as the lights came on the faint beginning of "Aint Nobody" spilled from the speakers and I had a fierce last dance with my boys.
The big weekend afterhours club here is called Souvenir and is about 30 minutes outside of town. Buses were chartered to take everyone there but I opted for home. 7:30am I staggered into my flat for a little puff puff puff time and then off to bed. Tonight Offer Nissim is playing the closing party but I'm definitely skipping that. Think it will just be me and Tom Spanbauer's "Now Is The Hour". My ears need a break. Adios for now!
