Roadtrip - April 06 - Detroit - South Beach, Miami

it's been a while. after T and A from stuttgart arrived last friday nite at detroit metro airport things are just going crazy. late dinner in birmingham and a quick visit to the corner and dick o'dows finished that night. we were preparing for a long roadtrip to miami, southbeach, florida.

saturday: leaving detroit going south with the partymobile after a nice breakfast at IHOP. not much happening besides driving and watching the scenery fly by with some of the nicest tunes available playing in the background. had some thai food after checking in to a motel 8 somewhere near the city of columbia.

sunday: driving again. overnight destination: daytona beach. massive outlet shopping somewhere along the highway. daytona itself looked pretty destroyed after all the spring break madness happening there some weeks ago. thank god we missed that. there was a club called razzle's or dazzle's (whatever) where we finally ended up after dinner at some oyster bar.

monday: only about 4 hours from daytona to miami. we drove thru several thunderstorms and the forecast for miami was more rain. great. but thinks do work out every once in a while: we booked a room via hotwire.com and were very, very lucky with this place: the Whitelaw Hotel - right in the center of where we wanted to be. 5 minute walk to the beach, great restaurants, bars and clubs. going out monday night we went to different places, one of them was the most beautiful hotel bar i have ever seen (will post the link to the place later). another funny thing happened waiting in line for a hip-hop club: jay-z walked out of the door and passed us while jumping into this big car that picked him and his mates up.

tuesday: after all the driving it just feels good to enjoy either the sun at south beach, our hotel bar, shopping or just chilling doing nothin. wow - it's 6:22 pm already. at 7 pm the open bar at the whitelaw starts.

blockbuster flatrate consequences

finshed watching 2 more movies:

it's all gone (the legend of frankie wilde) - about a dj turning deaf
lord of war - not bad, especially as it's based on true events

in the q:
4 brothers and a history of violence

steve bug @ detroit - motor city live - book tower, 2nd floor

after a very nice warmup in the basement-studio of ipmradio.com (thanks guys!) i drove downtown d-city...

yes ladies and gentlemen, it happened: i have been to THE party in detroit city. the party i have been dreaming/praying/hoping for since early january 2006. this was it: steve bug. all night. finest selection of tunes. fantastic sound system. bass made your eyes vibrate so u couldn't focus. earthquake-like. location: book tower, 2nd floor. presented by paxahau. entrance fee: 20$ - well, sometimes a 303 has to do what a 303 has to do, right?

after several "zugaben" with lights on and people crying out for more, i finally left. out on the streets of detroit at 5 in the morning, trying to get to your car, is a bit scary...

my ears have been severely cleaned out.

the best part was driving back via i-75, 676-west and then woodward: ellen's & apparat's "orchestra of bubbles" really is something else - especially cruising home from a great night out on woodward avenue with all traffic lights turning green as you approch with 45 mph.

gute nacht und guten morgen!

chicago summary march 17-19th 2006

working from 7:30-10:00 on friday didn't keep me from another nice roadtrip to chicago. 4:30 minutes later i saw the skyline - half a tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes and wearing sunglasses. drove downtown to the loop area 5 minutes to millenium park. tried to catch some of the st. patrick's day action friday afternoon, but the irish pubs in reach were more than packed with tourists (and no i don't consider myself a tourist ;) went back to the hotel around 4 or 5 pm tried to catch some sleep for my big night out at the smartbar tryin to meet up with ms ellen allien.

around 10pm i jumped into the next available cab heading for n. clark street: busy with mostly hammered st. patrick's victims. decided to avoid the crowded pubs along the street and had dinner (some kind of pasta) in an italian restaurant close to the night's venue. hit smartbar around 12-1: very nice bar/club - nicest one i've seen so far in the US. and it turned out to be the most fun nite out in the US as well. ellen showed up, went through her bags of records and rocked the hell out of the crowd... thanks for stopping by ms allien ;) next time i'll make sure to shoot for the 4am lights earlier - what a party killer.

yes, after this everyone would need some sleep. walking around town (millenium park, navy pier, ...) saturday afternoon with perfect weather was great - check the flickr pics... that city really got me.

another night out at the sonothèque (1444 west chicago) with chicago house music lay ahead. cab driver dropped me a little too late, so i kind of had to "search" for the place with no visible sign outside. eventually found it and was happy to be there :)

a quick and late stop at le passage finished the nightlife for this weekend.

calling 12pm a "late" checkout is a joke by the way.

Chicago, Illinos - 17-19.3.2006

San Francisco Music and Nightlife - Bars and Clubs

on the roadmap for april 2006: San Francisco

03/03 - 05/03 2005: One weekend in Toronto, Canada

once again, I'm just trying to summarize here :) After a very snow, icey and cold thursday morning in detroit i thought i should not take the ~5 hour drive to toronto. after the weather cleared during the day i decided to give it a try and jumped into the charger around 3pm. 4h and 45 minutes later i found myself in downtown toronto and thanks to my nice navigation system "romy" close to stasi's place @ lisgar and queens street. we had great steaks and ribs at the keg mansion. all that driving and the good food kept us in the house, although i thought we were ready to go somewhere - stasi what happened ;-)

friday was the day of stasi's "big" move from the house to her cool little apartment called "yello". defining "big" means 2 complete loads of dodge charger room filled up with boxes and sacks of clothes. very cool i must say: the charger's new middle name is "the transporter" from today on... friday was also the day we had good food in a place on queens street, we went to spin gallery for some electronic sound (which did not rock anybody)... and the night stasi left little 303 all by himself in this big, big city ;)

slept away most of saturday - went for breakfast with stasi at lakeview lunch on dundas (wtf was the waitress thinking?) - later a long shopping walk up queens street towards downtown toronto: great clothing! but pricey too... later saturday nite we were ready to go to gypsy co-op on queens street where a band played and dj barbi rocked the crowd with some nice selected tunes.

sunday: sunshine, breakfast, roadtrip back to detroit. made it to watch the oscars - just in time :)

Buenos Aires Nightlife: "Buenos Aires Nightlife"

Buenos Aires city guide, Argentina - Time Out Travel

Buenos Aires city guide, Argentina - Time Out Travel: "Porteños, as the residents of BA are known, display an attitude towards their city comparable with how most people feel about their parents: they criticize it freely themselves but expect others to like and respect it. For most visitors this won't be a problem; BA is easy to love and hard to forget. While the belle époque of cattle money, café society, tango salons and literary grandeur is just a rueful memory - more so thanks to the economic and psychological scars left...

Legendary Detroit DJ Jeff Mills will release a commemorative DVD and be performing in several cities starting 10th February.

“The Bells,” perhaps the most-heavily played techno track in history, has become the anthem of an entire generation. Every time it’s heard, the reaction is invariably euphoric. Even today, ten years later, it’s highlight of countless events, clubs and festivals.

To mark such a distinguished anniversary, Mills’ label, Axis Records is releasing “The Bells 10 Year Anniversary DVD”, distributed by Sonar’s record division in Spain, SonarMusic."

saturday review: downtown detroit at oslo and bleu

ausschlafen - yeah. had some all american breakfast (3-eggs sunny-side up, bacon, sausages, potatoes) at a greek coney island around the corner. walked around my new hometown, stopped in at the borders bookstore to read/buy a book with info on south america (yes, it has a lot of pictures, so i don't have to read too much ;) bought some more things i needed for the apartment at a hardware store.

music/sleep.

looking around detroitluv.com i found there was finally a party that could be my style @ osloworld.com. so i did and the navigation system (i call her "romy" for some reason ;) took me there no problem. it's a sushi place upstairs and a really nice minimalistic club/bar downstairs - this place should rock if a bigger crowd is there, but last night i was outta luck - about 15 people max. i saw another bar/club sign just after oslo, which was bleu - decided to go there until oslo would "start". bad idea: 10$ to get in, 3$ mandatory coat check, bad taste in music (euro-trance-super-trash-kinda-thing), pseudo-dj-worshipping (unreal), silicon-valley-alarm, girls-that-can-not-handle-drinking - i took this for 30 minutes - and walked back to still empty oslo (but great acidhouse music), before i decided for romy to take me home at 1:00 pm :-)

the good thing is: it's early sunday morning and i can cruise to the great lakes - expect some pictures later on. over.

Ghostly / Spectral presents VAULT : March 2006
featuring RYAN ELLIOTT and KONRAD BLACK

On March 3rd, Spectral’s RYAN ELLIOTT will return to Detroit’s OSLO for the latest night of his VAULT residency, this time featuring special guest KONRAD BLACK.

Pegged as one of America’s hottest DJs, Ryan Elliott has maintained his OSLO night since late 2004, following a 2-year tenure alongside DJ partner-in-crime MATTHEW DEAR at Ann Arbor’s Goodnight Gracie. He also crafted the comprehensive, disc-long megamix that accompanies the Spectral Sound, Vol. 1 compilation.

The minimal style of Konrad Black (aka Todd Shillington) combines a signature mix of dirty bass threads with atmospheric sounds. He has collaborated with artists like Swayzak, Cirlcesquare, and UNKLE, and releases his own material on the Wagon Repair imprint, which he co-founded with Matthew Jonson in 2004. Details:

FRIDAY, MARCH 3rd 2006

first weekend in birmingham, detroit, michigan

thursday night: quick afterwork meeting @ sandbagger's which is a nice poolbar on van dyke between 10 and 11 mile road. after that meeting with colleague at detroit's bar303 ;) with a pit stop for beers and pizza at a close by supermarket. around 21:30 we left for the "220" in downtown birmingham - very nice bar and restaurant. at 22:30 we entered "the corners".

Detroit Club Scene : Home

friday: 22:00-23:00 - the corners, with a late visit at "blue martini bar" which is located next to the palladium theatre in birmingham. the music at blue martini sucked, but the crowd knew how to work around that.

NYC303 Shopping Guide

...nearly missed to post this. here's list of mandatory shopping & eating if you ever hit NYC's energy-loaded SOHO.

brooklynindustries - best urban-style bags and clothing.
triple five soul - the aim of design is to define space.

spring street natural restaurant - breakfast! morning sun.
nyonya - malaysian cuisine, taste-price-ratio = unbeatable, very nice staff.

marriott's hotel view bar - spinning up high (360° moving restaurant) between skyscrapers surrounding times square.

recommended city walking: go walk brooklyn bridge early. take subway to ferries, get on the boat for the statue, stay on the boat until ellis island: see the path of immigration to the usa. take the ferry back, walk wall street and see ground zero.

Fuse-In Festival Detroit, Michigan, May 2006

Here you will find some interesting facts about the city that I will live in for the next 3 months: Detroit, Michigan - Wikipedia
I really like the satellite image shot from NASA's Landsat. Check out the great blue color of the lakes and the perfect grid of streets!

Monday was a holiday (Martin Luther King's Day) here. Had an early phoneconference to attend for work and then checked out some more corporate housing options around Royal Oak and Crooks Road area. Looks like I'll go with the place I saw first already last week, which is very close to downtown Birmingham.

Monday nite nothing special, besides talking to my colleague in Indonesia (which is always fun) and preparing for the week, happened.

My flight back to Stuttgart (A319) leaves this Friday afternoon around 4pm.

saturday at naias.com - the north american international auto show

met with my colleague t. at oakland mall's border's bookstore and left my pt cruiser from avis there. him, his friend r. and me drove downtown detroit and parked at the greektown casinos parking structure, took the people mover to the cubu building and entered the naias. the size of that show is impressive - unfortunately i can't compare it to frankfurt's iaa, as i've never been there, but it's surely XL.

the best and most innovative car's in my opinion were:

after 5 hours of walking through 95% of the shows presentations, we had a nice dinner at Niki's Pizza & Greek Favorites. getting back to the hotel around 10:30 pm i was not able to find enough energy around to go back downtown and hit the corktown tavern :(

now it's time to cruise the city for more potential apartments.

the punisher @ corktown tavern

first night out with my colleague "d" (name shortened to protect the witness) was very cool (weather was heavy rain that turned into snow later): dinner at the mongolian barbeque, cruising woodward avenue (birmingham, royal oak, ferndale), pit-stop at the post bar, looking for oslo in "a not so nice neighbourhood" - error: not found, up woodward to pontiac where we entered a club called "tiki bob's pontiac", which is right next to "tonic".

tonight miss michelle herrman (age 25), who calls herself the punisher, will be downtown detroit @ the corktown tavern. i think i haven't heard her playing live before, but her alias is a well known name around the globe. her style is yet unknown to me, but surprises are always nice :)

before driving down i-75 tonight we'll check out all the latest in car design and technology at the north american international auto show this afternoon.

drive safely and happy weekend.
