Saturday - walked to 53rd and 9th for brunch with Reena after a few hours sleep, and checked out her studio pad up the road. Got down to the venue at 3pm and first impressions were a great party was a brewin'...the setup went on as the artists and media engaged in a creative exchange. Met up with the Michaels, Mike and Dale at Cook (?) restaurant a few blocks down in Chelsea, quick bite then off to host my first Tiger party! The crowd, art, beer, venue and vibe all kicked ass and I was really blown away by the world-class and coherent execution. Thank you Electromogatronica! VIP guests included Jared, Zigman, Henry, Kat, the Michaels and Levers, and I connected with a couple of interesting US people in the Translate space.
Post-event we rocked to the Stanton Social in the East Village, another really nice spot (with Jared and his crew, Mogan and his, plus Zigman and his cousin Jen). A few doors were closed after that so we had to bounce around a few times before entering Cielo - thanks to Putri. This place simply blew my mind; the lighting, sound, music and vibe were quite possibly the most yummy dance club experience I've had. Warmed up and into a monster dance set with Mogan and Jared, destroying the dance floor with our Auckland Grammar stylee. They kept trying to put the ugly lights on (though the crowd was pretty premium) but only after three encores did the crowd let the DJ stop. Fantastic end to an amazing week's partying.
Walked back to Jared's flat in the West Village and finished off with a cleansing ale before sunrise. Cabbed down to Battery Park with Mogan and watched the sunrise from the tip of Manhattan. Pure peaceful beautiful bliss. NYPD police drill, bacon eggs and coffee, then an hour of sleep from 9am till 10. 24 Jam.
