Keeping us cool in IbizaGetting us hot under the collar in Ibiza
Everybody has seen the sun go down on the beach at Mambo, but how many people have ever seen an eclipse from there? Answer: About twenty of us Annie Nightingale getting man handled by the DJs in the Zenith room at Pacha. Now I wonder why they didn't try to drag Fabio and Grooverider out of the DJ box???
Sneaking into Cream through a wide open exit seconds after being told that our names weren't on the list. Didn't your mothers teach you to always close doors after you? Obviously not Techno on the terrace at Space. There's a time and a place for everything and Sunday, 2pm on the terrace is not it
Hearing the crowd gathered outside Mambo during Judge Jules' show sing 'Under The Water' along with Frankee from Brother Brown, just as the sun was setting. A truely Balearic moment. Henna tattoos just about everywhere. Arms, backs, chests, stomachs, legs. They stop being cool once your granny gets one on her backside, OK
Gilles Peterson dropping Masters At Work's 'To Be In Love' as his last track at Space. It was a beautiful moment babyCream at Amnesia, We've never witnessed a club so packed. You shouldn't have to pay so much money to be treated that way. OK, we didn't but thousands did
Staying on the beach until sunrise with newly found friends telling them things you wouldn't even tell your best mate. It's the new clubbing y'know People who think they are invincible because they are on holidays. Driving like nutters, taking far too many drugs and walking in the middle of the road at night
Grandma Funk and Danny Rampling getting into the lovegroove, live on air. They need their mouths washing out with soap...but it was hilarious all the same Queuing to park your car, get into a club, get something to eat or take a leak. In Ibiza you even have to queue to join a queue
The human statue in Ibiza town dressed like an...errr...tourist. Top marks for trying, one of the funniest sights everCowboy hats everywhere you turn. It's Ibiza, not Texas you chumps
