For those of you in too much of a rush to look at pictures:
A trip to spain:
Sunday morning saw us on the way to Sky Harbor airport to begin the first leg of our journey. Many thanks to Lindsey for taking us so early in the morning when I know you were a sleepy girl after Transformers. The boarding was quick and uneventful outside of security freaking out over all the LEDs and batteries in my carry-on. We zipped from Phoenix to Chicago to Philadelphia and I had a hard time staying awake for more than an hour on any of the flights. From Philly we flew into Barcelona. On the bus to customs we met up with some Seattle ravers who would become a recurring theme in our trip. Once through customs we met up with Sparrow and Jess, hopped a series of trains and a bus and were in Lloret de Mar. The rest of the story and more pictures after the jump.
Getting checked into our hotel was a bit of a chore and there’s no wifi here or nearby, so we have found an internet cafe or two to get us by. Once we were checked in, had our rooms serviced by the room staff, and got showered off, we were ready to attack the evening. Speaking of the room and showering, our room came with a bidet! How awesome is that?
Just on the first night we got to see Gammer, Cally Cage, Hixxy, and Brisk. This is going to make raving in the US a little tame in comparison I suppose.
A few things have remained constant. Even in Europe, people are fascinated by Jordan and I’s hair. I put the bihawks up and he is rocking the Leopard print. The other is that even English girls have a fascination with wanting to braid my goattee. I let one girl after she begged for a while, and she had to show all of her friends. When she was done showing me off, I immediately undid it as I really don’t care for that sensation.
We hooked up with the rest of our USA friends intermittently through the night, and even ran into Scott Brown who was in town since he had a gig in Barcelona the previous evening. After jamming out for a little longer at the event, we strolled back to our hotel, let a few tourists take pictures with us (on the demand that they take one with my camera, and got ready to end the evening. Curious to me was that the vending machine outside had condoms right along with the candy, and what Jordan remarked must have been an anal vibrator. We each got some treats from the vending machine to try as we retired to our room. The principe was ok, just dry and flakey. Jordan said his nesquik bar was bland and stale tasting. I also lucked into finding a bag of Clix to bring home.
Tuesday should be fun. The main area only has one set I think I’ll be really interested in which is Dougal ft Lisa Marie. The main attraction for me will be area 2′s Project USA day featuring Ian K, Sparrow, Milo, Starr and Rize. There is a foam party pre-party which I may have to check out, but I didnt really bring any foam compatible gear.
