Yo man, I can't complain about Eats Everything playing for 6 hours almost. Most ppl would give up their first born for that in Toronto. I can endure the crowd!
July 24th/25th- Rumors w/Guy Gerber and Sasha, HOME
I'm putting in full sized images for this part since it's pretty much my last day on the island.
I basically stayed in bed until the morning time, I got up around 9 AM'ish I think. The hotel had free buffet breakfast which I wanted to try out, since my condition was much better. I was still a bit chilly and fatigued, and had lots of mucas I was trying to keep inside me (sorry for the detail, but I know you guys like it lol) but I was getting more energy at this point and peckish too so wanted to eat. I wasn't even entirely sure if the breakfast (that came free with my stay) was going to be open but I decided to go downstairs anyway.
Luckily breakfast was on! They had quite the selection of food. Different types of cereal, juices, you name it. It was all quality, or looked like it anyways. It was all families, quite a change of pace from San Antonio that I appreciated, that still struck me as being different. I think I needed this change! This hotel pretty much solidified itself as being quality. just sucks the wifi was down tho for some reason.
I had a couple of plates of food. Enjoyed thoroughly. I went back up to my room to sleep again, I was def. not 100% still. BUT I was planning on Rumors being my last party, as it and El Row were the main reasons I was gonna extend my trip, so I was planning on waking up late afternoon.
Unsure when I woke up again, but I think it was around 5 maybe. I had to grab some food and some last min. souveniers for my friends back home. I went to a shop outside to grab a bunch of souveneirs. I honestly spent too much time getting stuff, must have spent like an hour at this place. I went back to my room and put my stuff inside and then I went outside again to the strip of restos again near Es Canar again, and didn't know exactly what I wanted. There was fish and chips place that I almost went to, but I settled on Marvent Restaurante and tried their thai noodles.
It wasn't the greatest, definitely a step down from Casa Thai and I felt they took too long too. They did apologize for the wait. I basically scarfed this down so that i could catch the bus to Ibiza Town. I wanted to take the cab to Destino afterwards.
Bus station is nothing elaborate like the one in San Antonio. I predrank on the bus ride to ibiza town. Must have taken 50 mns honestly. There was a pretty 'normal' crowd of folks on this thing, so i just chilled out while juicing. I remember sitting next to a German girl reading a book to give you an idea of mellow this bus was compared to the manicness of San An buses.
I didn't get to Destino until close to 8 or so. they were making people buy drink coupons for 15 Euros instead of last week where they would truly let you just walk in. I noticed that this time around tho, the area was more opened up. You could at least use the entire facility in the back, you could even chill on the sun loungers too by the pool. Music was decent by Sasha, at one point he was telling someone to "not touch anything" as one of the CDJs lost their link control I think. I wondered around and found Gerber talking to security there. He noticed me kinda staring at him and knew I wanted to take a selfie.
Before this pic I was like "yeah lets just get this over with" as he seemed kinda annoyed I disturbed him. I told him I liked My Heart and he kinda just nodded and said "I'll see you out there" eee alright man.
He took over after Sasha just before 9'ish and I wasn't feeling the music all that much after. It was still nice being out in the open air and chilling. The views outside this place were great, nice seeing ibiza town. Below are some pics of Sasha playing.
I mostly just chilled one of the loungers during Gerber's set. I was just thinking about my trip as a whole, and how it was all coming to an end now.
The music all of a sudden did get better after 10:30, that's when i got up to dance in the main area to see sasha on the decks again going b2b with Gerber! It was nice stuff. Gerber finished off the b2b with Chaim- Love Rehab and Art Department- Catch You By Surprise (Guy Gerber Remix).
I ended up talking to Sasha after, he was still by the booth! That's when I found out about why he was telling that guy earlier to not touch anything. He said that dude wanted to unplug everything and reconnect it but sasha didn't let him because the music woulda stopped. I sad tohim that basically it's because he wanted everything to be just as is, but he said no, that he didn't anyone touching 'his shit' lol. I asked him about the making of GU 13: Ibiza compilation, the compilation that got me into this whole scene, so some of life's mysteries got solved for me. He said he was checking out "his friend" Pete Tong after at Pacha with Solomun. I thought it was peculiar how he stressed Pete being his friend. I asked him if he was gonna do B2B2B with them all and he just laughed and said no.
Some Argentinian girls started talking to him, asking him if he was gonna play at Tox and he said no. I asked him why not, since these girls were asking him lol. He walked away after and I talked to the girl, she gave me a sip of her drink which was like pure rum i think.
Soon after I left the place and took a cab to Ibiza port area. I had one last paella at one of the outside restos. I walked around a bit more, someone trying to get me in their bar to party more. I ws beat, so i declined. This trip was over. My flight was at 8:30 AM to Barca, and then i had to take another flight from Barca.
I took a cab back to my hotel. There was nothing going in Es Canar. Place was literally dead. Nothing was open. I just wandered a bit more. went back to my room to pack a bit more, slept for two hours and then took another cab back to the airport which was like over 40 Euros eeee. I bought an Amnesia and Space shirt from the airport which were overpriced but had to be bought.
I cried slightly on the way back home watching a nice drama from Hong Kong about a woman trying to find her childhood friend. It dealt a lot with following your passion and stuff and kinda struck a cord with me
Thanks to everyone for reading my review. It took forever to do because i had to try and recall from my memory the details and get the info again from texts I sent my friends back home as well. I have more thoughts about my trip as well that i might add later and about Ibiza this year that I've already posted about in other threads.
