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.

1.303 liters around the world

1.303 liters of gasoline... what more can i say?

YouTube - Broadcast 303. OK, well then...

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. OK - I will. At least before I will ever open a mycrap account, I'll do this now instead...

303's first videoblog entry features Richie Hawtin live at Buenos Aires Argentina, 06-02-26, playing Plastikman ;) Yes - I know the sound sucks, but who cares?

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!
