Miami's Super All Inclusive Party

This has been one of the longest running events in South Florida; one thing that has not changed is that is one of the largest and most anticipated events when it comes around.

When you think of Stages, you picture a huge outdoor venue, all inclusive drinks, exclusive VIP. Well this year 2009’s first Stages event promised all that except for one change; it would be housed entirely indoors in the massive Ice Palace Studios, Downtown Miami. And with the two weeks of nonstop rain we going through that means the party will not be washed out no matter what!!

So with that in mind, we headed down to Event #2 for our South Florida Memorial Day weekend lineup. Tonight was a night not to be late ... is line to park yuh car, and then if yuh see the line outside of Stages ... it's like all of Florida come out, even the VIP line n' all was long. We collected our passes and were on the inside with our tall promotional Stages Mug in hand!! Let's check out the scenery. Straight ahead is the stage near the back of the studio and the bar is to the left. Behind the stage is the sectioned off VIP area ... and if yuh see people in front the stage!!!! As they say, DANCE SELL OFF!!

This year the name "Stages" was really appropriate because with everyone housed inside the studio the stage became the focal point of the event. This meant that the DJs were on show, and they all seemed to relish the opportunity. When Black Chiney stepped up on the stage and Walshy Fire grab the mic, the levels just raise in the whole party!! So when Jazzy T (Renaissance Disco) stepped up next, he made sure to keep the vibez going. Needless to say the music was on point, so this was not a pose off party ... this was a move yuh body dance!!

Next up were the Sound Boys of Papa Keith and Renegade, who again took the vibes up even higher. And bless their hearts for injecting some Soca in the dance ... so it was jamishness in front the stage. I guess the apparent trade off for not being in an outdoor venue is a much higher vibes level and dancehall feel, which inspired the DJs on the night. Not a bad deal.

Next up is on the itinerary is Chill...

Party McFly
