Thursday 7 August
After a month or so of planning, an early start got me to Changi airport along with DJs Koflow and Shellsuit, VJ Kevin Kong aka QWTY, and my old partner in crime, Don. A fairly smooth trip via Bangkok to Vientiane got us there in the early afternoon, checking out lots of great new acts for the London musical lineup en route.
Chowed down in the hotel, visited the venue for the following night's event, made some tweaks to the layout and met up with Leng, our local DJ and PR point man. After a little down-time I met up with the boys and we took a walk down to the Mekong River, this time fully swollen (as opposed to its parched state in May). Soaked up the river's vibe before proceeding to dinner at Kong View, a beautiful new restaurant also on the river's bank, serving a delicious selection of Lao food, the highlights of which were the spicy fish salad and super juicy chicken.
Following the very ambient and beery meal, we proceeded to check out a few clubs - Marina, D-Tech, Meena and Romeo. Carlsberg was counter-attacking that night with a nicely decked-out event at Marina, D-Tech was gearing up for a big bang the next day, Meena was pumping and we thankfully only scraped the surface of a bottle of Johnnie, while Romeo was the newest, biggest and highest potential of the lot for the next event.
