Fame is a funny thing. June 2006 one Wednesday night I stood at the guest list entrance of Pacha all night talking to my friend Juan who ran the guest list. A couple approached and it was like the parting of the Red Sea, the rope was pulled back and niceties were exchanged in Spanish. They then just breezed into the club to see Eric morillo. He then said to me 'Do you know who that was?', 'No idea' I said, he then explained that he was probably the most famous Spanish singer that was top of their charts, etc. Just shrugged my shoulders, meant absolutely nothing to me.

He asked me if I wanted to go in to see Eric, I said 'Seen him before, he plays records, I play records, so what, big deal'. Stayed at the door all night with the door staff, was quite entertaining. Really funny watching people convinced they should be on the guest list but weren't and were refused entry. One even handed over her mobile phone with the number of a guy that claimed he was the bar manager, they checked the number with a list of staff mobile numbers, looked like she'd been conned. Wonder what he got out of it.
