Back from Vacation in Cancun, Mexico


Back from Vacation in Cancun, Mexico
Hi friends,

Am back from an awesome vacation in Cacun. The resort was actually a bit south of Cancun along the Mexican Riveria, looking over to the island of Cozumel.

The resorts was all-inclusive including all the food, all the alcohol, and the service was excellent. So was the room. It's called "Secrets Capri - Mexican Riveria" Went to the ancient Mayan pyramids which was quite an interesting spot on the planet. One of the seven wonders of the world.

The disco, and the one in nearby Playa del Carmen, played the dance music from our album and it rocked!! The outside activities director played name that tune, one day, and played the first key beats from Body Electric (of course I got THAT one right) and then they introduced me to the crowd. Later that day, another outdoor DJ played the whole album in the afternoon. Great response!

Reminds me that our music is not just for the bedroom, or the dance-floor, but it's also for the pool or the beach!

Anyway, just random thoughts et al, and wanted to send everyone some love this weekend!

peace and love,

Love Parade and Love Fest San Francisco

San Francisco Love Fest
Current mood: bouncy

Wow!!!!!!! I certainly hope that anyone within driving distance of the San Francisco Bay Area, came to SF this Saturday for the Love Parade and Love Fest at the Civic Center in front of City Hall this weekend.

OMG, this was an incredible event. Okay..... at first we were skeptical at first. There is so much hype on House Music events everywhere. Boom boom this, boom boom that.

But this......was incredible!!!!

I remember the early Love Parade festival just a few years ago, with like 10 floats with a 10 block run along the Embarcadero with a limited run. Now this has just exploded with House Music enthusiasts, with very very little commercial and political promotion. It's all about the music.

There were maybe just 300 people at the first event in 2003 and at this one in 2007, just like four years later, 30,000 to 40,000 !!!

And it was such a wonderful event. I can't describe in the words what it was all about, it was all about the experience and all inclusiveness of every walk of people, every race, every creed, and all with a spiritual vibe simply amped with the house music vibe.

Okay, I'm gushing... but this is the best parade and street faire I'm ever been to, and I've been to many in this wonderful SF City and others around the world. And the weather was perfect. "indian Summer" as we call it after the fog of every one else's hot summer subsides.

It was truly a "love fest" like something inspired by the 60's with the inspiration of the new age and millenium ( do we still use those terms?). All those words aside, truly think of everybody in the best mood possible with out drugs and other influences and just enjoying the day, the MUSIC and the sun. ..... and it's about the sounds.... long live house music forever!!

Okay, this is a long post and it's Tuesday, but I've been busy everyday since Saturday including working on Sunday with a recording sessions every day since, but this is a day We'll Always Remember.

peace, love and happiness,
LEO from LFB
